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

Week 28 (Unedited)

12/04/16Hey people! I didn't do much, just my homework. I  relaxed quiet a bit, which was good, and I'm very excited for tomorrow!  I have an audition tomorrow for the musical, and I have tutoring and I  have a project due for history! I'm kinda nervous, but mostly excited. It's going to be great! It  also snowed today, which will make driving interesting. Snow is always  interesting when it has to do with driving. I'll be okay though, I  think. I have to dye my hair and then get to bed, so I think that'll be all for tonight. Goodnight people!12/05/16Hey  people! Today was pretty busy, and I didn't have much time for myself  or relaxing. School wasn't too stressful, until history. We had to  present and I knew it want the best work. Eventually I felt better, but  then I thought I had a quiz in Spanish, which made me freak out again.  Thankfully, I didn't actually have a quiz. Otherwise, today was pretty  typical. After  school I went to tutoring, which was pretty good. Vanessa says that  she's understanding more and more of her math. She even got some points  because she asked her teacher to grade for accuracy, and it was correct.  I didn't even help her with it, and she got it right. I was very proud  of her. She also has been participating more in class, and when we were  going through her homework she understood basically all of it. Her test  on this unit is this Friday, and hopefully she does well. She seems to  be doing well in our sessions, so I believe that she can do it. I  don't know if I mentioned this, but I realized that a tutor's job is to  make sure that thee is no need for their job. That the kid gets better  at whatever the tutor is teaching them, and therefore doesn't need the  tutor anymore. It's kind of weird that tutors work towards their job not  being needed. While I like how much money I'm making while tutoring, I  do hope that Vanessa gets better. After  tutoring, I went back home to eat and work on homework. After about an  hour I went back to school for my audition. When I got there, they were  actually on time for everything. I went almost immediately after I got  there. I didn't do amazingly, but I'm just trying to get into the  ensemble. Since no one gets cut, I know I'm in the ensemble now that  I've auditioned. The director for the musical (who is a different person  than for the play) saw my black hair for the first time. She was  shocked, but not in a bad way. The pianist was surprised but seemed like  it was a good surprise. I went home, and then finished my  homework. That's about all I had time for, so I didn't get to relax  today. I'm pretty tired, so I'm going to bed now. Goodnight people!12/06/16Hey  people! School was pretty good today, I got back two tests which I took  last Friday. I got a B on the history one, but I got a C on the one for  APES. Now I have a B in the class. I really want to get that up so I  don't have to take the final. Hopefully we'll have another test before  break so that I can get it up. I had a history quiz today, and I know I  did badly, but I don't think it will affect my grade so much that it's a  B. I hope. After  school, I went home and was kind of complacent with my homework, so I  didn't finish it before I went to Taekwondo. I had fun at Taekwondo.  Lioness was teaching class because my instructor threw out her back so  she can't do anything. There was another person thee for adult class, so  I wasn't alone. I got to work a lot on my forms, which I was very happy  about. I left a bit early, but that was only because I started early. I finished my homework, and now I'm going to try and relax for a little bit before sleeping. Goodnight people!12/07/16Hey  people! Today was good, I just have a lot of homework to do. More just a  big homework assignment. I worked on for awhile tonight, and we get to  work on it during class, so hopefully I'll be good and won't have too  much to do. School itself not much happened, I went to my classes, and  the only really interesting thing was that my English and creative  writing teacher is going to be gone for Thursday and Friday for this  thing called Kairos. All of the senior go on it, and it seems to be a  very bonding experience. I don't know exactly because no one can talk  about it. After  school I stayed after with Ashley for a bit, but I went home on the bus  because her dad is super sick and doesn't want to get anyone sick. It  wasn't too bad. At  home, we also put ornaments on the tree and finished decorating for  Christmas. I was in charge of picking which ornaments to put up, and I  put them up in between my research homework. I got to relax a bit, but I'm still feeling pretty drained. Goodnight people!12/08/16Hey  people! I had a ton of homework today, so I didn't feel very good. And  I'm pretty tired now, so I'll keep this short. I still went to Taekwondo  because it makes me happy, and found out that Vanessa has improved a  whole letter grade in math! I might be helping her a bit with writing  now. She needs to prepare more and plan. I had to work for three hours  after I got home, but did get all my homework. Now, I am very tired, and  need sleep. Goodnight people!
12/09/16Hey  people! Today's Friday and it makes me so happy! School was pretty good  today I didn't have any tests or quizzes, and I brought cookies to  share in creative writing. I also wrote some poetry stuff for our group  piece. And, the people there said it was interesting and good. That made  me happy. Poetry in general makes me happy. I hope that I can keep doing it and participate in competitions for it. It'll be fun. I  haven't done much else today, but I think that's okay. Tomorrow I'm  going to my neighbor's house for something, I'm not sure exactly what...  I guess it's a kind of party... but it should be fun. It's at my  neighbor's house, who is a very kind and very fun woman. I like her a  lot. And her porch. I like her porch because it's a nice place to sit in  summer. It's an outdoor porch, and she has a lot of seating out there,  like a couch. It's just so nice out there and you can see everything  it's very calming. Anyways it will be fun, and I'll be going  to Taekwondo in the morning as usual, and hopefully I'll catch up on  sleep tonight. Good night people!12/10/16Hey  people. I had a good day all in all, but it didn't end too well. At  Taekwondo I had fun, because Taekwondo is so fun. I love being there so  much and I wouldn't trade my days there for anything. It makes me happy  even when I'm stressed and makes me laugh no matter what. After  that, I went to the mall to get presents for my parents and my secret  Santa person out of my group of friends. I can't tell you who it is, but  I will tell you what I got my parents. I got my dad a pair of simple  black slippers, because he needed new ones and I know he would  appreciate not having to buy them himself. I know it sounds clinical,  but I think he'll like them. I got my mom a David Bowie shirt since she  really liked David Bowie and since he passed this year, I thought it  would be nice for her to have one. I'm  also really Prius of myself because I drove by myself in the snow, as  in it was actually snowing and I didn't feel very scared and I didn't  hit anything which was my favorite part. I  went with my mom to one of my neighbor's houses for a party. It was a  nice atmosphere before everyone showed up, and I got to meet my new  neighbor. But, after awhile it got really loud, and no one on my block  is really my age so I wasn't talking to anyone, except when adults  wanted to ask me about my life. I got really tired, so I wanted to walk  back home. I told my mom, and she told me to say goodbye to the host. I  don't know why, but I couldn't. I felt embarrassed and bad for leaving  early, and I couldn't bring myself to interrupt her conversation and say  goodbye. Eventually, my mom told me I could go, since she could tell  that I wasn't going to be able to. Once I got home, I felt  horrible. I couldn't breathe right and I started crying, alone in my  house. I felt so awful about not saying goodbye, but I knew I would  actually not be able to breathe or talk if I went back. I think I almost  had a panic attack... but I don't know really. I'm okayish now, but I  need to sleep I think. Goodnight people!
