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

Week 38 (Unedited)

02/12/17Hey people! I didn't do much today. I finished  my homework, memorized the group piece. Watched stuff with my dad. Made  cupcakes. I don't really want to go to school tomorrow but I'll be there  anyway because I have rehearsal. I should sleep because sleep is good.  Goodnight people!
02/13/17Hey  people! Today was pretty long and boring. School was fine, I didn't have  a lot to do. After school I hung out with Mara while we were waiting  for rehearsal to start. I didn't get to finish all my homework, but it  was fun to just hang out with her. I also worked with my friend on the  group piece to help her memorize it. She has it mostly down, which is  good since our competition is Wednesday. Talk about cutting it close. Well  rehearsal was fun too. We worked on music which wasn't too hard or too  overbearing. I am home now, and should probably go to sleep. Goodnight  people!02/14/17Hey people! Happy  Valentine's Day! Today was a rollercoaster of emotions, so I'll start  from the beginning. During school was pretty good. I was happiest in  Spanish. We had a Valentine's party. We somehow convinced our teacher to  let us order pizza to the school and eat it during class. I brought  cupcakes, and lots of other people brought deserts too, which meant only  three of my cupcakes were eaten. I didn't mind much, except I now had  to find a place for these cupcakes. Otherwise, I was very happy with my  school day. In Theology we had a quiz but I also got rid a few more  cupcakes. The quiz wasn't very hard. Then  I went to poetry club for about twenty minutes. In those twenty minutes  I found out our competition date was changed to Thursday instead of  tomorrow. Since I have ACT prep, tutoring and Taekwondo I knew that I  couldn't go. So I ended up having a mental breakdown in poetry club. I  was very frustrated that after all my work to memorize the group piece I  wasn't going to be able to perform it. I was the only one who had the  piece memorized. And suddenly I couldn't go. Before I left I gave out  more cupcakes. I eventually got myself together and went to ACT prep. The  teacher didn't get very mad that I came in late. She just got me caught  up on what we were doing. I still felt pretty shook up. I tried to  focus on the class but it wasn't very easy. By the end I felt okay but I  didn't feel great. I did get rid of more cupcakes. I got rid of most of  them when three guys on the basketball came in and I offered them  cupcakes. One of them took three. And I'm pretty sure he ate them all. I  didn't mind much, but it was surprising. I  went out to the hallway to hang out with Mara and tied to do homework. I  didn't get much homework done. I basically ended up ranting. Until I  got an email from my poetry coach/teacher. The email basically said that  our competition date got moved to the 25th. I can't describe how happy I  was to hear that. All of my tension had been released from my body. I  responded immediately that I could go. Soon it was time for rehearsal.Rehearsal  was pretty fun, and we got through everything we needed to get through,  and more. And we got out early. I've been surprised at how many times  we've gotten out early this year. Usually this doesn't happen. We  usually get out late. Well once I got home I had one more surprise. A  dress that I had ordered from HotTopic came in today. Since I  wasn't sure how it fit, I tried it on. Happily I found out it fit  perfectly. I am really happy that it fits and I like how it looks on me.  I'm planning to wear it to my second poetry competition. Well as fun  and stressful as today as been, I should go to bed. Goodnight people!02/15/17Hey  people! Today was a bit less eventful. I had a late start so I did some  of my homework in the morning. School was pretty normal which was good.  I had a quiz in Spanish which I think I did well on but I'm never sure.  I didn't have much homework. I also had time to do the ACT practice. Or  at least part of it. After  school I hung out with Mara. It was pretty fun, and we both got work  done. We also got food at Jewel because Mara was hungry. She was kind  enough to get me my favorite non chocolate candy/snack: sour patch kids.  I love them so much. And once she had all she wanted of her soda, I got  the rest. I was very satisfied with this. Today's rehearsal  was choreography. It was tough. It was a lot. But somehow we finished an  hour early. I was very surprised and happy. I did have to give my  friend a ride home though. My dad was okay with it, but he also wanted  to make sure this didn't become a habit since she lives kind of out of  the way of our house. It was all good though since we got home just a  bit after when I was supposed to get out. I would have liked to get home  earlier but I didn't have much to do. But I should probably go to bed  now since I'm pretty tired. Goodnight people!02/16/17Hey  people! Today was pretty normal but it was eventful. School was good.  Ashley has been sick and I saw her in the morning but she got sick again  so she had to go home. I hope she feels better. Not much happened  otherwise. After  school I had ACT prep. Since it's math and science it wasn't too hard  for me. We even got out ten minutes early. I caught an early bus and got  home early. I had dinner and then headed out to tutor Vanessa. Sadly I forgot to check that I was tutoring her. She was sick so she couldn't meet up tonight. So I went to Taekwondo earlier. I  worked on my form more. That was most of what I did. I also worked out a  bit. It felt pretty nice to be back at Taekwondo after a week and a  half. I think it's exactly what I needed after how stressful everything  has been for me. I've been catching up on some stuff since I  got home so I've used my time wisely I hope. But now I'm very tired so  sleep is calling my name. Goodnight people!02/17/17Hey  people! Today was my friend Skylar's birthday. She got to school late  but I was still able to give her her present. I gave her a set of Dead  Pool bracelets. She absolutely loved them and she put them on right  away. I'm glad that she liked it especially since I wasn't sure how much  she liked jewelry. Apparently she likes it a lot, or at least that's  what she told me. I'll have to keep that in mind for next year. School  itself was fine, I didn't have any tests or quizzes which was nice. I  didn't finished my homework but I did work on my ACT prep book so I  still got something done. After school I had poetry. Only half of the  people in the group piece were there, meaning just me and my friend who  is in drama with me too. We worked on staging which is pretty easy. We  got through more than half of the piece too which means it won't take  too long to get through it all. Or at least that's what I hope. We do  need to practice it more though. I  got a ride home from her so I got to meet her mom. Her mom is very self  centered (which she has told me before) and she seemed manipulative  too. My friend says that she's used to it and understands what her mom  is doing, so I think she'll be fine. She seems to be since she spends as  little time as possible with her mom.I haven't done much  else today, even though I probably should have. Tomorrow I have  Taekwondo in the morning and then I'm helping with an event there in the  evening, so I should probably get some sleep. Goodnight people!02/18/17Hey  people! Today was pretty good. I went to Taekwondo in the morning,  which was pretty good. Android and I taught the first class which our  instructor was very happy about. After that one other person showed up  for black belt class. I decided to organize some papers that were up in  front and I got through about half of them before I had to leave. Later  today I went back to Taekwondo to help with an event called Parents'  Night Out. Parents get to drop off their kids at Taekwondo and they do  what they want for three hours and the kids get to play games, eat  pizza, and watch movies. There were about twenty kids and there were two  other helpers. One was the mom of one of the kids, and the other was  someone who used to go to Taekwondo with me, but now was an intern here.  I'll call him Jake. He was a lot taller than I remembered. He also used  to have longer hair. I was glad to see him. We  played games with the kids and eventually I was sent to get pizza. I  was half glad to leave since that meant I didn't have to deal with those  kids for awhile. On the other hand, I had to deal with an overfilled  parking lot by the pizza place. I didn't hit anything and did  technically park illegally but thee weren't any other spots. I got the  pizza and headed back. When  I got there the kids were being just as crazy. Soon we served the kids  pizza and got them to sit down and watch a movie, but that didn't last  very long either. We played some more dodgeball. The kids kept getting  more and more rowdy so eventually we played a cool down game. It was my  favorite game. It was a game called Ninja. I almost won, but in the end  it didn't matter. Parents' Night Out was over. I talked to Jake for  awhile before he left and helped clean up. I went home, and I  haven't done much since I did. I did bring some extra pizza home  though. I'll probably eat it tomorrow. I love pizza. Okay I'm  digressing. I'll probably go to bed now. Goodnight people!
