Ugh. Today's been a long, but overall successful day, in terms of making it through.
Running late was tough, got to the bus early it seemed though, since my driver seems to vacillate between timing. I got all my stuff together, and got to the FBLA meeting. We have our Induction Ceremony on Thursday, and we're..er, I should say..Mrs. Shugars is not ready. She has waited until the last minute for us to prepare, and keeps blaming it on us being the ones who need to do this on our own. Fruits on that, she needs to get her act together, and if her family problems are getting in the way, she needs to be honest and step down.
Anyway, we had a discussion about what to do in terms of fundraising. We've decided on an idea Shugars threw at us, and since none of us had anything ourselves, everyone voted to pass the motion. We're doing a charity drive to collect toys and clothes and just stuff for one of the needier elementary schools in the town. It's an extension of off one the things going on in Shugar's church. Amber and I handed out the invitations to everyone we could get, and we got our schedules down.
Classes went by alright. I worked hard yesterday getting my assignments done, and my grade's going back up in Government. This assignment in Algebra is not going well, I know I'm gonna mess up on this test on Thursday. He did give us an extension until tomorrow, which is very nice. Lately Mr. Kuhns is doing that a lot today, I think because some of this is so hard, he knows we can't just spend one day on these sections alone. That, and I had my Senior Class Photo along with Devon, Joe, Jameer, and the rest of them, so he owed that to us. It's weird, he told me today he really does like my name. I told Sonja today how he always does it with that Italian accent that I despise, but that's a whole other story, maybe I'll write that down tomorrow, I'm burning the midnight oil right now, and my time's almost up on the computer.
Psychology was really cool today, we did an assignment on liars. I got picked as one of the four, and Ms. Klein handed me, Toni, Keshawn, and Jenn a note card with the definition of this weird a** word, and the actual definition. One of us had to read off the real definition, while the rest of us had to make up fake ideas of the word. It was awesome, apparently I'm a good a liar as I thought I was, I didn't have the truth card either time, and both times the majority of the class thought I was the one telling the truth.
Web Sci was real annoying. Since Amber and I are officers for FBLA, we basically had to abandon our lesson and get onto doing errands to get ready for the ceremony. I checked the setup for the dining hall, and handed out the rest of the invitations.
Then during lunch we had our officer meeting. Right when class ended, me and Amber speed typed the entire Chapter and Officer Installation ceremony, and gave all the titles names so everyone could rehearse for Thursday. I really don't think we're ready, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Then, once school was over, I went home, changed, and met with Sonja at 7-11. We got some snacks there, cause we were going to see Chicken Little at Sam's Town. I got this weird dried fruit crap called Tropical Wonder, cause it looked good, but as Sonja put it, "It's a wonder people buy this crap."
The buses were ok, and we caught the 4:00 showing, which meant we didn't have much time to do anything else once it was over. It was a decent movie, I'd watch it with Sophia, but what really pissed me and Sonja off was that they never did play Dragostea Din Tei, and that was like half the reason I wanted to see it.
Afterwards, we played DDR for a while, and played some games. I felt bad, cause I beat her both times, and I forgot it's a nice thing to go easy, but that made it sound like it was a date or something, so I kind of kicked her a** in the basketball game. I tried to hide my score though, so I guess that counts for something.
I got sidetracked as to where the food court was, since it was so dark, and I'm still not used to it getting like this so fast. Sonja was amazed at the little forest area at night, and I hadn't realized she'd never seen this. She got to watch the little water show, and while she did that, I got us pizza so we could eat and then run. She liked it ok, but apparently the wolf didn't howl correctly. I'm not sure.
We took the bus kind of to my house, and ended our paths near 7-11 again. I felt bad that I made Sonja go around in circles just so she would know how to get home correctly, but I had to get home quick or I'd be in trouble. My dad drove by me walking down the street, so he picked me up. We had dinner, and now I'm here.
You know, I don't know why this bothers me, but I feel bad that I went out with Sonja and did all this. I don't know why, but I keep getting worried that Russell might think we went out on a date or something, and bite my head off. Sonja and I had a really serious discussion, and I'm really distressed about stuff, I guess it's that I'm really seeing how we're finally growing up and heading out on our own. I wish I could help everyone with their problems, and make it so that everyone could be happy, but you know how they say that when you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one.
I don't know. I just wish there was something I could do, and that the walls weren't crumbling in on me.
