A Single Year in the Life of a Teenager (Editing)

Week 22 (Unedited)

10/23/16Hey people. I did my homework in the morning,  and I had a student run rehearsal in the afternoon for drama. That  rehearsal was pretty fun, or at least for the most part. I was happy  with what we did. I thought that we had accomplished a lot. Then our  real rehearsal came, and we thought everything would come together.  Instead, at the end of practice our director told us we had regressed. I  was ready to cry. I was very close to it. Everything felt like it was  pointless. That we shouldn't have even had the student rehearsal at  all. On that note, I'm going to bed. Night people.10/24/16Hey  people! Today was very long since I had practice for drama. And it went  Kate, so I was at the school for a very long time. School itself was  good, but not much really happened. Sorry for the short update, but  today was pretty quiet. Goodnight people!10/25/16Hey  people! Today was mostly good. School was good, not much happened. I  got to go during lunch to see my director for notes on my character, and  I was glad to find that there weren't too many notes. I was pretty  happy, and I'm determined to fix them tomorrow. I didn't go  to Taekwondo today, because I got a flat. Dad came home to help me fix  it, so instead of going to Taekwondo I spent the night watching a movie  with my dad. I don't think that was too bad of a trade off. But, now I'm  tired and I'm going to go to bed. Good night people!10/26/16Hey  people! School was pretty good, I didn't have much homework, and I got a  lot of work done that was due in the future, which was good. Tomorrow  during second period (my math class) I have a meeting with a bunch of  people in my school who have the same scholarship as me. I don't know if  I mentioned this, but the only reason I was able to go to the school  I'm going to is because of that scholarship. I'm okay with missing  second period, especially since we have a test. I already told my math  teacher and took the test after school, so that's one less thing to  worry about tomorrow. Practice  was pretty good, or at least I think it was. I fixed the things my  director told me to work on, or at least I think I did. I know that I  was a lot more conscious of what I was doing than nights before. The  director is very stressed out about the play, but he did say it was  good. He wants more, and I completely understand that. Tomorrow I'm  going to see him for notes again during lunch. I don't think it will be  as many as I had , or I hope that it's more little things than major problems. Well, I have to get to bed. Good night people!10/27/16Hey  people! Today was fun. I got to go to a meeting instead of take my  test, and the meeting was fun. There were cookies. I love cookies.I  actually got to Taekwondo today, but I took a little adventure to get  there. The usual route was block, so I had to go through this really  weird town with lots of curvy streets and I didn't know where I was  going. I took it as an adventure so that I wouldn't freak out. The only  reason I got out was because I was following other cars that were trying  to go around the police cars. It was also costume day at Taekwondo, but  I was the only black belt that went in costume. I was very  disappointed. When  I got home, I got a guitar. My mom was helping someone move out, and  had asked me yesterday if I would want a guitar. I said yes, and now I  have a guitar. It's wonderful. Sadly, I don't know how to play a guitar.  I started learning in seventh grade, but it was only in class so yeah I  never continued learning. I'm just very happy I have a guitar. That's all that happened today, so I'm going to bed. Goodnight people!10/28/16Hey  people! I had an okay day at school. My English/creative writing  teacher wasn't there, which wasn't really good but it wasn't horrible.  Then in APES our teacher completely went off on the class. He said that  everyone was being very disrespectful and pointed out disrespectful  things that some of the kids did, like laughing at him, and he yelled at  us for not helping him fix a problem. I didn't understand what was  wrong so I didn't say anything. I don't know what going to happen  Monday, I just hope he doesn't become a total strict teacher. That would  kill me inside. Not because I can't handle strict teachers, but because  that means those seniors, our class broke him. That they made him a  mean teacher, took away what made me so happy to be in that class. I  don't want to be responsible for that. That would be horrible. Well,  on a better note, at Taekwondo there was testing today. Lots of people  were really impressed with me. I midtermed, which is like to really show  and say that I'm ready to test for fourth degree. I can't do that for a  few years, but I'm excited for it nonetheless. Everyone at testing did  amazingly, even the color belts. They surprised me with how good they  were. I can't wait for them to get to black belt, because they will be  great black belts. At the end when everyone was getting called up to  showed they passed their testing, since I was the highest rank I was  called last. When I was called, even though I wasn't getting a new rank  or belt or anything everyone started chanting my name. It was awesome.  It made me really happy inside, and made me feel loved. This is going to  sound cheesy, but I don't need the whole world chanting my name, just  my family. My Taekwondo family. I love all of them so much. After testing I feel pretty tired, but I'm still glad I tested. But now I shall go to sleep. Goodnight people!10/29/16Hey  people! A lot happened today. I went to Taekwondo like usual, except we  could go in costumes. I was less disappointed today with other people,  but there will still lots of people in their regular uniform. After I  went home, I ate lunch and got a bag together for Ashley's sleepover. I  got there at three, and I was the second one there, after Gwen. He was  someone Ashley met while at inpatient I think. He was really fun, but he  didn't really have a filter. Gwen is female I think, but like he him  pronouns. I don't care, and it's his choice, so it's all good. Samm,  and Splash came too, and one of Ashley's other friends named Mary. Mary  is on crew so I kind of knew her before today, but she's awesome so  it's good. We went and walked around Ashley's hometown, and  got ice cream. We also went to a store and got slushies. They were  pretty good.  I had a lot of fun just walking around. We tried to watch  scary movies, but we couldn't pick one and Samm and Splash don't like  scary movies. So we didn't watch any. Well, I'll tell you about the rest  of the sleepover tomorrow, goodnight people!
