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

Week 42 (Unedited)

03/12/17Hey people! Today was pretty fun. I got to sleep  in and I finished my homework pretty quickly. After that, I went to the  mall with Ashley to use my gift card at build a bear. I got Toothless,  from , which I'm very happy  about. We went to other shops, and I got Crazy's present and card. I  hope she likes it. I want to see her over break, but our spring breaks  are different. It  was pretty fun to go look at all the shops. Ashley bought some stuff  too and I guess she realized other than Toothless I hadn't bought  anything for myself. I never really think about what I spend my money  on, but it usually is on food or other people. It's not that I don't  think I'm worth it, b I rarely find things I'm in love with and have  money for. We went back to her house and watched a movie and  talked about life. It was pretty nice since I haven't been able to watch  a full movie in a while. I had to go home earlier than I would have  since I have school tomorrow. Since I do have school tomorrow, I should  probably go to sleep. Goodnight people!03/13/17Hey  people! Today was pretty average. I had a math test which I think I did  well on, and that was about it. Nothing very interesting happened  during the day. I hung out with Mara after school as usual and got my  homework done. Rehearsal  was fine but it got changed to music review which I didn't know until I  got to school. So, I didn't have my music binder with me. I just shared  with Mara which was fine. We got out a bit late, which some of the  freshman were complaining about. I didn't care that much since it was  more usual to get out late than early. I have a late , so school will be shorter which is good. I should probably go to sleep though. Goodnight people!03/14/17Hey  people! Happy Pi day! Today didn't start out very well, but overall  wasn't horrible. I had the late start, so I left my house a bit later  than usual. I waited for 40 minutes for my bus. Then, I went to the  other bus stop and waited for about 20-25 more minutes before getting on  my bus. It took me an hour and 40 minutes to get to school. My toes  were numb and my fingers burned even though they were in gloves. I found  out when I got to school that the whole bottom of my sock was soaked.  So I had to wear wet socks all day. Yeah, it wasn't a fun morning. School  itself was fine. I didn't have any quizzes or tests or anything major. I  didn't even get much homework. I had ACT prep after school which went  well too. We got our results from the post test, and my composite was a  31. From what I can tell, that's a pretty good score since the highest  you can get is a 36. So that made me feel better. I also got pizza after  school with Mara which was good even though I had to go out in the  cold. Rehearsal was a bit aggravating but still overall fun.  We got out a bit early from what was scheduled, but nothing that made me  very happy. Especially because I got a headache during practice. Either  way, I watched some tv to relax once I got home which was good. Now I  should sleep since sleep is good. Good night people!03/15/17Hey  people! Today was okay and definitely better than yesterday but it  started kind of awful. Apparently, the baseball team broke one of the  gym windows, which happened to be by my locker, and not tell maintenance  about it. I didn't see or know that this happened, so I opened my  locker and started chanting from my boots to regular shoes. I put my  foot down for a second and I got a piece of glass in the heel of my  foot. It was not fun. I took the glass out, went to the bathroom and put  some toilet paper on it. It didn't hurt when I stepped, but I still  went to the nurse. It  wasn't indeed and I was only about ten minutes late to my first class.  The rest of the day was good since I only had a quiz in Spanish and very  little homework. After school I hung out with Mara and we got pizza and  fries. It was very yummy. Rehearsal went well. We learned  another dance number, and went over the other ones we've done. It wasn't  too bad and I had fun at it. But now I'm home and feeling pretty tired.  So I'm going to sleep. Goodnight people!03/16/17Hey  people! Today was pretty boring and long. Probably since it was the  last day of school before break. I didn't get homework in any ofc my  classes, which made me feel a lot better, and more excited to get home. I  didn't have any tests, just a quiz in theology. After  school I had ACT prep, which was pretty boring but she knew we started  break so she let us out early. My dad even finished work early, our he  was almost done so he picked me up. I  tutored Vanessa today too, and she wasn't doing anything too hard. She  had a bit of trouble on one thing, but it was mostly because it was  tedious. Hopefully with practice it will be easier for her. I  went to Taekwondo too, which was fun. I couldn't do much since shifting  on my foot hurt (because it irritated my cut from the glass) but I  still was able to get some stuff done and workout my stress. I watched some tv with my dad, but more I think the best thing to do is sleep. Goodnight people!03/17/17Hey  people! Today was a pretty productive day, especially because there was  no school. My mom and I went and got some school supplies that I  needed, and I got myself a visa gift card to use on some online clothes  that I wanted. I saved almost half of what I would have spent because of  the sales today at Hot Topic. I ordered a nice shirt and skirt that are  nice but still edgy enough for me (or I hope so). After  shopping I stayed home and colored and watched tv. It was a nice,  relaxing day. I just hope I can relax this much over the rest of break. I  am planning to go to Taekwondo everyday this week since I've been  missing so much because of rehearsal. I  also applied for a job at hot topic online. I know it sounds like I'm  being hard on myself, but I don't think I'll get it. I don't have any  work experience and honestly I don't think I exactly know enough music  and fandom stuff to do well at the store. Well, we'll find out  eventually. Or maybe I'll never hear anything back. Who knows. I might  apply for other part time jobs at other stores that I like or can at  least tolerate. I want to earn some of my own money to use on things  that I want without worrying about how it will affect my parents or us  financially. I tell them that I want to for experience, but I want to so  that I don't have to ask for money for anything. I know I'm just a kid  but I don't want my parents to have to worry about me that much. They've  already done so much for me. Tomorrow I have Taekwondo and  demo practice, which will be fun. I just hope nothing too frustrating  happens. For now, I think I should go to bed. Goodnight people!03/18/17Hey  people. Today has turned kinda bad. It started a bit bad, then was  good, and has gotten kinda bad again. My house woke up to a dead  furnace, so now it is cold in our house. No one will be able to come out  until Monday. It's kind of annoying, but I was gone for most of the day  anyways.Taekwondo  was good. Clumsy was there, which made me pretty happy. She wanted it  to be a surprise and it definitely surprised me. I had fun teaching  class and taking class. I was enjoying just being there. I missed  Taekwondo a lot. Demo practice went well too. We're having another demo  next weekend, which hopefully will be fun. I'm pretty sure it will be. I  got home, and everything seemed fine. Then my dad came home. He told us  he had been suspended from uber and so he can't drive to make money  anymore. Every single time things seem to be getting stable something  wrong happens. Yesterday I was happy. I might not have always been  happy, but I was still feeling good and hopeful about life. But  apparently that's not how life works. The phrase that keeps playing in  my head is, "This isn't fun anymore." I know life isn't always fun but  should I always be on the edge of being content and okay just to get  shoved off again? I don't know what to do. I don't think my dad does  either. It seems like I don't get to have a good break anymore. I don't  know what's going to happen. It's really hard to pretend that everything  is okay when it isn't. And the thing that sucks the most is there isn't  anything I can actually do about it. My day isn't over yet so I guess I'll keep you guys posted. But I don't think there will be much left to report on today. ---------------------------The  rest of today wasn't very interesting. Just realizing what might not be  able to happen now. Like I might not be able to go to junior prom. Or  summer school for theology. Or anything outside of just going to school.  None of the "extra" parts of school. I'll still be in the musical  because it's way too late to just leave but other than that, I'm not  sure. I  watched tv with my dad which hopefully made him feel better. We didn't  talk about it, but we enjoyed watching it together and that counts for  something. I should go to bed now. I'm very tired and cold and sleepy. Goodnight people.
