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

Week 32 (Unedited)

01/01/17Happy New Years people! Today I did three  service hours with Ashley and Splash. We were folding laundry which  isn't very exciting but it was still something that would help the  people who lived there. We were late getting there because of a  malfunction at a train gate. We were waiting for an hour. The people  there were pretty nice there, they even said that we did three hours of  service even though we were almost an hour late. After  our service hours, we wanted to go get food. That was severely delayed  when my car wouldn't start. I tried for ten minutes and I would turn the  key all the way. The radio would turn on but I couldn't hear the engine  starting. It wasn't even trying to start. I called a tow truck and the  guy looked at my car, turned the key, and it started. I told him that it  wasn't starting beforehand, and he told me that my starter was broken.  That was less bad than what I thought it would be. I thought my car was  completely dead. I was very happy to be mistaken. We  went to a drive thru so I wouldn't have to turn off the car, and I  dropped Splash and Ashley at Ashley's house. When I got home my dad was  there. I was sad that I made him stay home and waste his driving time,  but I was glad to be with him. I spent some time with him just cuddling a  bit. I was glad to know that he cared and would take that time for me.  He even told me that if my car had been dead that he was going to take a  loan to get me a Beetle. The loan part isn't good but I was glad that  he would be willing to do that for me. I've spent the rest of  today resting and trying to get rid of a headache. The headache is gone  now. All that remains is how tired I feel. I better go to sleep so I  can study tomorrow. Goodnight people!01/02/17Hey  people! Today was a very nice day. I didn't have to go anywhere, do  anything, or be social in any way. I stayed home and studied a bit for  finals. I'm glad I did but I didn't overdo it. Honestly I don't study  much and I know that that's a problem. Even if I do fine not studying  much I know I can't continue like that. I'm proud of myself for studying  I'm pretty sure more than I ever have this year than previous years. I  also took more challenging courses so I know that I have to study for  them. I just hope I do well on my finals and get exempt from some of my  classes for finals. Since  everyone is trying to improve themselves this time of year, I think I'm  going to do a little challenge for myself. I'm going to try and do 10  push-ups everyday for all of January. Hopefully I can actually do it. I  don't like doing push-ups, and by doing this I might feel better about  them and they'll be easier to do. If I get through January, I might  continue this kind of challenge for the next few months. But I'll just  start with this small thing of 10 push-ups a day. It shouldn't be too  bad. If I feel like doing more I'll do more, but 10 is the minimum. I  played Pokémon today, I think I'm about halfway done with the main  plot. Once I finish that I actually want to fill out my pokedex because  I've never done that before. I think that since I've seen some of my  friends do it, I'll be able to. I'm pretty sure I'm not doing  anything else today unless I decide to do more studying. I'm going to  Taekwondo tomorrow as long as my car starts. If it doesn't, I guess I  won't be going to Taekwondo. I'll just have to hope that it does. The  fun is in the mystery. Even though I slept in this morning I'm still  tired so after I take a shower I'll be going to bed. Goodnight people!01/03/17Hey  people! Today I played Pokémon for a majority of the day. Since I have  to go back to school soon I won't know how much time I have to play  while school is going on. It would be awesome if I could finish the  whole thing but it's unlikely to actually happen. I will still try  though. I have a couple things to do for school still but it's nothing  major. I  went to Taekwondo today. My car did start right away both when going  there and coming home. It was pretty fun and there were demo tryouts  today. Clumsy already told me that I was in the demo team but I still  auditioned. I wonder how many new people there will be in demo team this  year. After tryouts all of the already demo team members and I started  practicing demo forms. We also had so fun dancing to the songs or doing  old demos. Our instructors laughed with and at us but none of us cared.  We were having fun after we practiced so it didn't really matter. I'm  going to a museum tomorrow with my mom. Hopefully it will be fun. I  think it will be but I can't always be sure. I'll have fun with my mom  at least. My dad is driving us there so I don't have to worry about my  car starting or not. I have to go to bed soon so that I can get my sleep  schedule somewhat back to normal, so goodnight people!01/04/17Hey  people! I went to a museum with my mom. If you're wondering which one,  let's just say we went to visit Sue today. If you don't know what that  means that's your loss. Anyway it was very fun and my mom splurged for  all access passes for both of us so we could see everything. I had lots  of fun looking at all the exhibits. One  of my favorite moments, however was not one of the exhibits. We were  leaving an exhibit that people had to pay to get into. I saw a group of  kids waiting outside the exit for someone to open the door so that they  could go in without paying. When one guy went to try and catch the door  while we were leaving I put my arm out to stop him. I asked him, "Excuse  me did you pay for this exhibit?" He answered, "No." I said in response  in a calm tone, "Then walk away sir." He didn't catch the door. My mom  was pretty sure they were talking about me but I don't care. I'll never  see them again anyways. I'd rather keep them from basically stealing the  money used to make the museum better. I know that it won't matter in  the long run but I felt the need to stand up to them. Plus, I found it  incredibly funny. I might seem mean but I don't mind. I'd rather be mean  and have people respect what I say or do than be nice and let people  walk all over me. We  took a taxi home because my mom didn't want to deal with public  transportation. It cost a lot but it was okay. My mom knew it was her  fault. She was using her money and it didn't matter for me how we got  home. Once we did I decided to play Pokémon for a bit. I stopped playing  after I caught the legendary Pokémon. I thought that would be the best  stopping point. I hope I can continue playing it when school starts back  up. I also studied a bit just so that I feel more secure. I  sometimes get anxiety around either finals or when I have a test when I  get back from school and so it's hard for me to sleep. It's caused  insomnia for me before. Especially on Sunday nights going onto Monday. I  don't know why it happens. Hopefully it doesn't happen tonight. I'm  feeling pretty tired so I should be okay. I'll try to go to sleep.  Goodnight people!01/05/17Hey  people! Today was my first day of school in 2017. My math teacher gave  us a test, but it wasn't too bad. I just hope I still have an A so I can  be exempt for the final. The less finals that I have to worry about the  better and less stressed I feel. Hopefully I will be exempt. I'll  probably find out Monday. All my other classes went pretty well. Some  of my classes I have tests tomorrow so in most of my classes we either  reviewed for finals or the test tomorrow. I have part of my final for  Spanish tomorrow, a test in APES, and a quiz in English. The rest of my  classes should be pretty easy since we'll just be asking questions. I  don't have many so I should be fine. After school tomorrow I'll probably  study a bit more for finals and  I'll study too. My finals   which is my Spanish final. Then on Wednesday I have my English final  and my APES teacher is giving us an extra credit final basically and if  we get an A on it we don't have to take the final on Thursday. On  Thursday if I don't get exempt I have APES and history for sure. Friday I  might have math if I don't get exempt and the same with theology. If I  do get exempt from both I won't have to go to school on Friday. I'm  feeling pretty tired since I had to wake up early today for school. I  should probably sleep. I think I'll go do that. Goodnight people!01/06/17Hey  people! School was good today. I had a quiz, a test, and part of my  Spanish final. I though that I did well on all of these so I felt pretty  good. Especially because I now have them out of the way. Now I just  have to get  and finals. Monday won't be  too hard since I just have another part of my Spanish final and a quiz  for history. I feel pretty good about the quiz but I have to study for  Spanish a bit more. I'll probably do that Sunday, seeing that tomorrow I  have Taekwondo, demo practice, and I'm going to my friend Crazy's  sister's birthday party. After  school I went to the art show at my school. All of the art looked so  amazing. Splash's art was in there too. Her art was so awesome! I really  thought it looked very cool. She had realistic pieces that actually  looked almost like an actual photo. It was amazing. I  ended today by playing Pokémon and I became the champion. It was a cool  thing, but the cut scenes were so long that I felt it undercut my  victory of being the first Pokémon league Champion. But that's just my  thought. I also caught another legendary Pokémon which was fun but  stressful. It's getting pretty late so I should probably go  to sleep so I get enough sleep for everything I'm doing tomorrow.  Goodnight people!01/07/17Hey  people! Today was filled with lots of stuff. First I went to Taekwondo  like I usually did, except that my dad dropped me off so we wouldn't  have to worry about my car not starting. Also so that we could go  straight to Crazy's house. Taekwondo was fun especially because Lioness  was making Android lead class today. He isn't very comfortable with it,  but eventually he will be if they (our instructors) keep forcing him to  lead stuff during classes. He wasn't bad, but wasn't as firm as he  needed to be. He'll get better though. They did the same thing to me.  Except that I was completely by myself. But that's okay. After  classes we had our first demo practice of the year. There were so many  people that we filled up at least five rows of stars. It was a very fun  practice. After practicing the main demo we got split into smaller  groups to make demo forms with them. Team Red and I were in a group with  some of the new people and one person who was in the demo last year. We  had to make a demo to a song that both of us didn't know what to do  with. We came up with something but Team Red and I are planning to come  up with the rest or at least a lot more on Tuesday. I just hope we can  actually come up with something. And that that something is good. My  parents picked me up after demo practice. We went straight to Crazy's  house. After awhile of talking to Crazy and her family Crazy brought up  that she had finals next week. I told her I had finals too. We both went  through out class schedules and found out we both had U.S. History and  Crazy needed to fill out a study guide for her class. So instead of  talking to people, we both started working on her study guide together.  It was fun to study with her, and now I feel more prepared for my  history final. I should probably sleep now since I'm tired. Goodnight people!
