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

Week 29 (Unedited)

12/11/16Hey people! Today was a lazy day, since I just  did my homework and not much else. My mom told me that the host said I  shouldn't have been nervous, which made me start crying again because it  made me feel as bad as I did last night. But now I'm okay, and I've  watched some movies with my dad, which is always fun. I hope I'll be  able to sleep tonight, I don't feel very tired but I have school  tomorrow, so goodnight people!
12/12/16Hey  people! Today has been a long day. At school, I felt pretty happy, but  my friend Skylar wasn't there because she felt sick. I hope she feels  better. I had had homework in most of my classes, but it wasn't really  too bad. But I didn't like my Spanish homework, and I know it was  because I was being sort of lazy, but also because I had tutoring  today. Vanessa  was ten minutes late because of her little brother, so I stayed a bit  longer so that she got enough time with me. When I was walking in the  cold, my feet started to freeze. And I don't mean because it was just  cold outside. My boots are terrible. They fine if there's no liquid  water and keep everything out easily. But, it's completely terrible for  keeping water out. So, when I step in puddles, I end up having my whole  foot wet, and when it's cold, it makes my feet incredibly uncomfortable  and freezing. When I got home, I still had a bunch of  homework to do. I was kind of mad that I took up so much time on it. But  there was a lot of it, and there wasn't much else I could do.  Thankfully, I still had some time for me, but I think it's about time to  go to bed. Goodnight people!12/13/16Hey  people! Today was pretty good, but pretty long too. I forgot that it  was a late start, so I didn't get to sleep in. But it was fun to see the  school so empty and to have shorter classes. I had a lot of homework,  but I still managed to finish all of it. I  went to Taekwondo today, which was pretty fun since I got to actually  do stuff like work out during adult class. It was nice to be able to  have fun while still working hard. I also got hugs from some of the  younger students, and I absolutely love hugs. Especially when people  greet me with them. Once  I got home, I tried to relax for a bit, but I know that I should sleep  soon. But first, I have an announcement to make. This is my 200th  journal chapter!!!! Thank you o everyone who has given me votes,  comments, or even just read my story! Without you people, I wouldn't  write at all. I'm glad that I've gotten this far. His also means that  I'm over halfway done, which means in 165 days I will finish this  journal/book. And I will have recorded a year of my life, for all to  read. I hope that you people have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy  this!I have also reached the limit for number of chapters I  can have, so until I finish and edit this book, I'm going to be  continuing in a different book. I'll start that tomorrow, so goodnight  people!12/14/16Hey people! Today  was pretty good, I was just cold on my way to and from school. It's  getting pretty cold outside, and it got cold fast. Class wasn't too bad,  but in first period we got out PSAT results back, and I think I did  pretty well. But I kind of got embarrassed for part of it. With our PSAT  score we also got a talk about college and grades. They asked who was a  straight A student, and no one raised their hand. Then, they asked who  had a 4.0 GPA or higher, and I put up my hand. Then the counselor called  out just my name to say I was an A student. I  know it doesn't seem that embarrassing but I don't like to talk about  my grades with anyone but my parents so it was kind of weird. I don't  even do that with my friends. Ashley is in my class, and was shocked  that I did (since I never said anything about it). She wasn't mean about  it, but I felt weird because it's not really something that I want to  bring up. I  got home a bit late because I missed my first bus, but once I got home I  was happy to know I didn't have to leave again today. It was nice to go  straight home and do my homework, and then have time to relax and do  things I wanted to do. If  you haven't noticed, this is my second book since I got to the chapter  limit on my first book, so please be sure to go back and read the other  one. In the end, I want to edit these two books back together, but for  now they'll be separate. I'm not going to do much else today, so goodnight people!12/15/16Hey  people! I didn't sleep very well last night, but it wasn't too bad at  school. I had fun especially in creative writing where people started  singing songs from the musical we're doing. It was pretty funny. I was  sad that my friend Ashley wasn't at school, and I hope I see her  tomorrow. After  school, I had poetry club and I got to listen to some pretty awesome  poems. They were really inspiring and powerful. So, on the bus I started  writing some poetry poem stuff. I don't know if it's good, but I think  I'll type it up and finish it this weekend. Or I hope I will. If I do,  I'll try and post it on here. I  finished all my homework, but it took me awhile so I didn't go to  Taekwondo. I talked to splash a bit since we're doing some community  service tomorrow with her after school. It seems pretty simple, but  we'll see how it goes. I'm super tired, so I should probably go to sleep. Goodnight people!12/16/16Hey  people! School was filled with lots of cookies and deserts. I brought  cookies for English since our teacher said we could bring some today. In  creative writing someone brought donuts so I had a donut. There were  still a bunch of cookies left so I brought them to my little work study  group  (which are people who work during their study halls because they  need financial aid) and I still had cookies left over. I got through the  day with about three cookies left, and was able to give them away at  the end of the day, leaving me with no cookies. I wanted to give them  away, so I was happy that they were all gone. After  school I met up with Splash so we could go to her house before going to  the service place together. I think that Splash's brother was kind of  annoyed that we were talking in the back but he didn't say anything.  Soon after we got to her house, her mom came home and we went to the  service site. It was an annual holiday party at a nursing home. It was  actually very upbeat and everyone was so nice. It took us awhile to get  thee since it started snowing and thee was a lot of traffic. We were  actually late, but the woman who invited us to help didn't mind. It was  pretty easy work, and while I was nervous someone would snap at me no  one did. All we did was bring plates to people's tables, and take plates  when people were done. It was about an hour and a half, and was pretty  nice. Splash's  mom drove me home, and I haven't done much else. Tomorrow Ashley is  coming to my Taekwondo place to talk to my instructor and stuff to see  if she will feel comfortable and wants to practice there. I think she'll  like it, but it's not for sure. Then there's a holiday party later at  Taekwondo, so I'll probably go to that. I should rest up so I can be awake enough at Taekwondo in the morning. Goodnight people!12/17/16Hey people! Today was pretty fun and pretty long and tiring, so I'll keep this short. Ashley  went to Taekwondo with me in the morning just to see if she wanted to  join. She was really interested in it, and she wants to join, which is  awesome. We got food and went to her house for a while. A  couple hours later I went home and did some homework. I went back to  Taekwondo for a holiday party which was absolutely fun. I got to just  chill out there, play tag with the younger kids, and have pizza. It was  nice to see everyone from Taekwondo without having to teach them or  anything like that. It was comforting. Soon it was time to leave, so now I'm home. I've been home for awhile and I'm pretty tired so I'm going to bed. Goodnight!
