I Really Dont Care (Rants)

DI & this week

{We got too big for the cage,

you locked us up in,

let's mark this down as the day that we started something, 

so open the gate, open the gate,

cause when we finally escape, finally escape, 

we'll be tearing through the streets,

running with the wild things.}

Running with the Wild Things, Against the Current

SORRY I HAVENT RANTED IN A FEW DAYS 

I WAS SERIOUSLY PROCRASTINATING 

CAUSE THATS WHAT I DO 

so DI comp went pretty much how i had explained. when we first got there, we watched Becca's team's skit (it was amazing) and then my team met up and started to fix up the tree of imagination by shoving the thing into the holes xD (or as Nalani says putting moss into the empty spaces). then we just hung out for awhile, eating, chilling, waiting for the private team (Elisa, Savannah and Anna and a few others idk) and when it was their time to preform, they didnt. so we waited for another few minutes before we realized we had to head to instant challenge so we didnt get to see that team which i was sad about. and lets just say my team didnt do so well on the IC...it kinda sucked but we panicked and just did something. and GUESS WHO ESCORTED US TO AND FROM IC?! MRS. GRISSOM, MY 5TH GRADE TEACHER AND ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAV TEACHERS. SHE WAS THERE AND I GOT TO SEE HER IT WAS MAGNIFICENT. anyways after IC we chilled some more after eating and Brooke started on makeup, doing mine first. since i played DeDum, half boy half girl, she caked half of my face in heavy makeup and ON POINT CONTOUR THAT I LOVED and the other half she gave me fake acne and an untamed eyebrow and it was the best. it took Brooke awhile to do everyone's makeup, but she manged. so i was stuck wandering around with the makeup on for a few hours, but it was alright. and when we looked at the sheet to see who we were up against, a team we met at the IC workshop wAS NAMED TEAM DIVERSITY AND WE ALL LOST OUR SHIT CAUSE AT THE IC WORKSHOP WE TOLD THAT TEAM OUR IDEA SINCE IT WAS THEIR FIRST YEAR IN DI AND SO THEY COPIED OUR IDEA AND CHOSE TO BE TEAM FREAKING DIVERSITY. WE WERE SO MAD. luckily they didnt show up so we didnt have to watch them. and like an hour and a half before my team preformed, me, Kayla, Grayson, Chelsea, Jonathan and Nalani had found a hall like last year and at the start everyone but me was playing a game where Jonathan threw a ball and two people raced for it and whoever got it first was the champion. then after awhile, we started to play a card game called 'cards against humanity' and it was the fuNNIEST THING EVER I SWEAR LIKE THERE WAS THIS ONE CARD THAT WAS "______! IT'S A TRAP!" (the game is like apples to apples yet dirtier, more mature. so we had to place down a card that would go best with the topic card) AND SO I PUT DOWN THE CARD 'BLACK PEOPLE' AND IT WON AND WE LAUGHED FOR AWHILE. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. then came time for my team's performance. when you walk in, the judges introduce you and say 'judges are you ready?' and the judges do some sort of chat that goes with the project theme and then they say 'parents are you ready?' and the crowd cheers and then finally they say 'team, are you ready?' and since my team is team NKLBACK, Brooke pulled out a piece of paper with the word 'yes, NKLBACK ready' and we say "look at this photograph" cause the Nickelback song "photograph" you get it? we're geniuses. and so we went through the skit flawlessly and playing DeDum was so much fun. and apparently DeDum was the funniest and way more funny than i would have ever thought cause everytime i had a line that i switched between De and Dum the crowd laughed, especially Mrs. Maeker. and the judges loved it and DeDum. so we went back and changed back into our normal clothes and Brooke took off the guy makeup and made the other half of my face look like De's side so my contour was #flawless. we waited until Nalani and Ms. Redmon returned with the scores, and we got 204/240 wHICH IS AMAZING AND APPARENTLY WE SCORED HIGHER ON OUR CENTRAL CHALLENGE THAN ANY OTHER TEAM IN ANY OTHER PROJECT IN OUR LEVEL WHICH IS AMAZING. WE WERE HAPPY LIKE SO FUCKING HAPPY GUYS. so we waited and waited. finally we headed to the auditorium for the awards and they announced the special awards first. we didnt win any of them, though. then they went through the elementary winners first, then the middle level. yet Project Outreach is always last so we were on the edge of our seats waiting very impatiently and i really had to pee so the suspense wasnt helping at all. I held hands with Nalani and Kayla, and when the announcer said "3rd place...___ISD..." (i dont wanna put my school district name there) i squeezed their hands and shut my eyes tightly, praying that it wasnt us. yet the announcer continued with "...________Intermediate, team NKLBACK!" and my heart just drops because we werent headed to state at all. so when we returned to the seats we all started to cry because we wouldnt be advancing, and it was a very depressing moment for NKLBACK. soon enough our tears turned into sobs and Nalani, Kayla and i sob with each other and after like six minutes of my sobbing i realized that we did amazing and it was the goddamn IC that brought us all the way down. so i wasnt as sad as before. yet i still did sob uncontrollably for an hour or so. but it wasnt because of our placing, im proud of us, but because the rest of the team wouldnt stop crying and so they made me cry and we were a fucking mess yall. and on the way home, we stopped by McDonalds to get McFlurries and they were good and i couldnt stop crying until my mom came up and told me that my team was 1st place without the IC. and that Project Outreach gets the most wildcards and that gave me a bit of hope, yet not much cause 3rd place usually doesnt ever get a wild card. but at least it stopped my crying. 

so now for the week so far:

Monday during advisory (my last advisory in Ms. Redmon's room) i was writing when suddenly the lights go out and so do the computers. we were in the middle of a black out so we went on our phones and Brooke snapchatted while Kelly made funny videos with an app idk what it was but it eas funny. i scrolled through instagram and took a video of Brooke and Kelly and we had fun. but twenty minutes later the lights came back on and everyone booed. but it was so much fun. 

Tuesday in the carline, Jerico grabbed my arm and flipped it over to see the inside of my arm being white as snow and he had a total freak out like "HOLY SHIT YOURE THE WHITEST PERSON I KNOW OMG" and i was laughing cause i would never tan plus i never go outside.  and so he kept on comparing my skin tone to others people's skin tones and yeah. 

and all throughout the week, during crafts Dani, Hunter and I go out into the hallway to work and this 6th grader named Ashton always walks by to go to the bathroom and we like the dude cause he said hi back to us when we were saying hi to the 6th graders. he even started a whole conversation with us, which is impressive in a way. so he's chill and we see him everyday. its an annual thing. along with Alexia and I #whitevansquad 

and the writing thing i got a gold key for is going to be this Saturday and idk how it goes, but ill be there to accept my gold key :D im excited. people maybe might read my poem, too, but idk if thats true. if it is, then damn people do like my writing. i never think so.
