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

Week 37 (Unedited)

02/05/17Hey people! Today was pretty relaxing. The only  important thing I did was my homework. I had a headache on and off all  day today so it took me awhile to even start it since I couldn't seem to  focus with my headache. I eventually finished it though. Later  I watched a movie with my dad. It was a good way to end the day. I'm  super tired currently which means I should probably sleep. Goodnight  people!02/06/17Hey people! Last  night I didn't sleep very well, so I felt pretty tired today. I had a  test in Spanish, and I got my math test back. I only got three points  off! Not a bad way to start what my teacher calls "the hardest semester  of Pre Calc Honors". I'm pretty happy with myself because of that. Now I  just have to hope my Spanish test went that well. After  school I had poetry. The first day of competition is the 15th, so we  felt a very big rush to finish our group piece. I just hope it gets done  in time. And that we can memorize it. We'll find out. After  that I hung out with Mara. It was very fun and I got my homework done. I  even worked on my research paper draft which is due Wednesday. Sadly I  still have a lot more to do but that will have to wait until tomorrow. I  also had rehearsal. We learned some new songs and reviewed some of the  old ones. Practice was pretty fun even if it was a lot of work. Our next  practice is Wednesday which is a choreography rehearsal. We have a new  choreographer so it will be different from what I used to. I hope it's  not too bad though. I'm feeling pretty tired so I'm going to go to sleep. Goodnight people!02/07/17Hey  people! Today was pretty busy. I took a math contest before school with  everyone else in honors math. Thankfully all of my classes were a lot  shorter so we didn't get much done. After school I had ACT prep which  was probably my most productive class. I  got Ashley to give me a ride home which was good. Plus I got a hotdog  because Ashley was hungry and her dad wouldn't stop if I didn't want  anything. I was hungry and I didn't see the harm in it. When  I got home I signed up for classes for next year. Today was the first  day it was open to pick our classes. For next year I picked AP Spanish,  AP Calc BC, AP Biology, English Honors, Intro to Psychology (which  counts for a social studies credit) and Creative Writing II. After I  submitted it I started getting nervous about if that was enough classes  for senior year. I probably wouldn't have thought about it if our  counselors weren't drilling into our heads that we shouldn't have an  easy senior year. Especially because I'm taking theology over the  summer. I'm trying to reason with myself that since I'm taking three AP  classes that should even out my doubt but it isn't really working. I'll  be fine, right? My goal for next year is to not have an 11th period. As  long as I don't have 11th I don't care very much. My other requirement  is that I can't have three study halls. I can have two study halls (one  would be for the times I don't have lab) but three is too much. If I  have three I'll ask my counselor about adding a class. It'll probably be  AP Econ if I can still take it. After  all that I went to work on my research paper. I'm proud to say that I  didn't procrastinate so much that I had to do the whole thing. I just  needed to find quotes from my text and analyze them. I also needed to  fix my intro and conclusion. I am proud to say I finished finding and  analyzing six quotes and writing my conclusion in about an hour and 45  minutes. I spent what little time I had left looking at dresses online.  Hot topic is having a clearance sale on their dresses. I'm trying to  decide between three dresses. One was red with lace, another was red and  purple with skulls on it, and the last one was a basically backless  black dress. I'm leaning towards the red and purple skull one. I think  I'll order it tomorrow after I get home from rehearsal. I think I've write enough for today. Goodnight people!02/08/17Hey  people! Today was a pretty full day but I was glad I didn't have that  draft hanging over my head. School itself was pretty busy since I had  some homework to finish that was due today. I got it all done and I had  time to work on my ACT practice test too. Sadly I had a lot of my  homework due tomorrow to do after school.I  also had to take time to go to Samm's house to get some of my friends'  stuff that they had left there. I was happy to see her and I was glad to  see she was doing well. It also ate up my homework time. I went back to  school and did what I could, but I still need to do Spanish tomorrow in  one of my study halls. I don't like relying on them but I've been so  exhausted this week. Rehearsal  was fun today. I decided that I wouldn't let the casting of the lead  being a guy I find annoying ruin my fun. So, I rocked out to all of the  songs we practiced. I kept thinking that he was looking at me but I  realized very quickly he was looking at the girl in front of me. I had  fun with singing the upbeat songs and dramatizing the more serious  songs. I'm am utterly exhausted mentally so I should sleep. Goodnight people!02/09/17Hey  people! Today was supposed to be busy, but I ended up only going to  school. I feel pretty sick today and I seem to not be able to go ten  minutes without starting a coughing fit. I did go to ACT class since I  couldn't really avoid it. Ashley gave me a ride home which I was very  grateful for. I did work on the group piece since I had so  much time. We're competing on Wednesday so we really need to get it  done. I just hope we like the end result. I am feeling very tired  because of my being sick so I'm going to bed. Goodnight people!02/10/17Hey  people! Today was super fun! During school my poetry friend and I added  to the new group piece. It was nice and it made me feel so much better  about it. Poetry club was also good since we focused on individual  pieces since none of the people in the group were able to be at the  meeting other than me. After  I got home I contacted the group and went over to one of their houses.  Her name is Jenny. She's super nice. We actually finished the group  piece after hanging out for a bit. It made all of us super excited and  we kind of went crazy. We chilled for awhile which made me very happy  because I got to bond and stuff. I think the piece is very good and  everyone in the group is satisfied with it. I got home really  late so I'm pretty tired currently. I am very excited for tomorrow  since its Crossing the Street. We meet the other people who are going to  be in the competition and it sounds really fun. Except for the part of  me who doesn't like talking to people. I hope I'll be okay. Either way I  need to get some rest. Goodnight people!02/11/17Hey  people! Today was pretty awesome! I drove to my school to meet up with  the poetry club for Crossing the Street. It was super fun to go and see  all of these different poets from all over Chicago and Chicagoland. We  got split from our groups and then we wrote a poem on a prompt by  ourselves. Then we were put in these groups and made a group piece about  it. All of the people in my group were really nice and I was nervous to  share what I wrote with them because I thought it sucked but it was  good. I was on purple squad which was pretty chill. My group got picked  to perform our group piece. I was pretty nervous but I was actually glad  we were first. It was pretty fun. I'm really glad that I got to meet  new people who are at least somewhat like me but so very different. I  got home, and I've stayed home for the rest of the day. I went shopping  with my mom to get frosting for some cupcakes. I also started  memorizing the group piece. I think I already have a fair bit of it  down. I haven't done much else today, but I know I should probably catch up on some sleep. Good night people!
