05/21/17Hey people! Today was pretty relaxing. I did the little homework I had, which wasn't too hard. I also started studying for my Vocab final in Spanish, which is on Wednesday. I have to study about 400 words and only 100 of them will be on the final. Sadly since I can't predict which words will be on there, I have to study them all only to have 25% of it be worth anything. Oh well. I also had demo practice today. Clumsy is back, which I was very happy about. Demo practice itself our instructor was in a bad mood and kept telling us that we weren't doing things right and that we needed to be serious. I tried my best not to take it personally but I couldn't help but think every time she criticized us that I was the one doing things wrong. Which I I guess was kind of good because then I worked harder to do it right. I still had fun even if it wasn't all that great. Anyways, I should probably go to bed. I'm excited that this week is my last week of classes. Plus I found out I'm exempt from APES so it doesn't matter that I got a C on the final, my final grade is an A and that's all that matters. And on that note, goodnight people!05/22/17Hey people! Today was my last Monday of regular classes! I'm so excited and honestly I don't feel very stressed. I feel like I'm over the hump of junior year. It's really interesting to watch everyone else who still has major stuff going on be all stressed when now suddenly I'm completely calm and barely have anything. The only quiz I have this week is a quiz tomorrow for math. Plus I feel very prepared for it because I actually studied for it. I want to do well on this because I didn't do as well as I wanted to on the last test. It didn't change my grade much, but I still wish I did better. The higher my grade is before I take the final, the better. I also had a late start today so I got a donut and some candy for lunch and whenever else. After school I tutored Vanessa, which went pretty well. I really hope that she's actually learning. I really like spending time with her and joking with her. She always understands my explanations too which I hope is a good sign. I know that her grade in math isn't suddenly an A, but for the most part it has stayed more securely in the B territory. I'm glad that I can help her, and that I get paid for it. I only have a couple more sessions before she's done with school for the year, but after that I'm going to be giving her private lessons which will also be fun. I'm glad that I'm able to relax now, but I still need to rest up for the last few days of school. Goodnight people!05/23/17Hey people! Today was pretty relaxing too. And it's my last Tuesday of regular class. The only thing I'm really worrying about anymore is Spanish and math, and tomorrow I won't Ave to worry about math as much because I don't have anything else to really do in class anymore. I don't think it's exactly hit me that the year is ending, even if I am more relaxed and things are calming down. I don't quite feel the excitement of summer pushing over me. The only thing I have to worry about tomorrow is my Vocab final, and then after that I have a verb final on Thursday, and then I'm done. We had demo practice today, which was more fun filled but my instructor still wasn't in the best of moods. I did what I could, which was trying my best. After demo I went to adult class and it was a bit more relaxing than demo. It was a good way to end the day. Goodnight people!05/24/17Hey people! Today is my last Wednesday of regular class. It was pretty good, especially because most of my classes were just studying for the final so I didn't really have to think much. I think I did well on my Vocab final, even if I forgot a few of the words. It's only 200 points, and since the other parts are also pretty high on point totals, it won't matter too much. In theology they took the quiz and I helped them since our teacher let us do it in groups since it was the last quiz. After school I didn't have much to do. I went over verb stuff but I don't really see a point in studying all of this stuff when very little of it will be on the final itself. Either way I should get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow is my last day, which is only a half day. Then on Friday I'm helping with graduation through a club I joined. I'm excited because afterward I'm going with my daughter to dinner. Or at least we're planning on it. With her, a lot of last minute stuff happens so who knows. Anyways, goodnight people!05/25/17Hey people! TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF REGULAR CLASSES!!!! I only have to take two finals next week, but sadly they're on the first and last day. Spanish is on Tuesday, and math is on Friday. On that Friday after my final, I'm going to see a movie with my mom to celebrate school being over. In my English class, my teacher just told a story about her life. That might sound really boring, but her stories are truly amazing. She was telling us about her hike through the jungle and how she almost died. Her stories are truly fantastic and they're part of the reason that I'm taking creative writing with her next year for my last semester of high school. She's such a wonderful and dynamic person. I didn't do anything in study hall. I had no motivation to do anything. In math we actually reviewed. In history we just watched part of a movie while I read a story on my iPad. My teacher didn't really seem to care. For APES I've been going to the library as a study hall, in which today I did absolutely nothing. In Spanish I took my verb final, which I now think I should've studied for more. For the most part, I think I was okay. In theology we mostly just reviewed and our teacher said goodbye to us all. I'm going to miss all of my teachers, and I really appreciate what they've done for me. As always, I'm going to write letters for them to thank them for basically everything. I got a ride home from Splash, which was very nice of her. I went to Taekwondo which was fun, but I also got kinda sick for a bit so I didn't do much. I felt bad for it but there wasn't really much I could do. Even though I don't have school tomorrow, I'm going to bed at my usual time since I'm tired after a great day. Goodnight people!05/26/17Hey people! Today was pretty great. I got to sleep in in the morning. I was actually feeling productive and I did my laundry. I was also very excited for graduation. At some points, I did feel like crying because I knew this was one of the last times I would see the seniors I knew. I did see my daughter, but I didn't go to dinner with her. Her family didn't have room to drive me to the restaurant so I couldn't go. I still texted her about how proud I was of her and saw her and hugged her. She looked beautiful. All of the seniors did. They looked amazing and they seemed to be glowing. While I'm not ready to be a seniors, I am excited for graduation. I was a great ceremony and I was glad I went to help. I did get a headache in the middle but it didn't hinder me too much. Once graduation was over, we helped pack up all of the graduation gowns and it got so loud with happiness and I was so happy for everyone in that room. They did it. And they were done with high school. And they deserved to be done. Once I got home I had something to eat, and now I desperately want sleep. Goodnight people!05/27/17Hey people! Today is my last entry. I know toward the end I struggled with getting out all of the updates on time, but I want to thank everyone who took the time to read about my days.ill say more thank yous at the end of this journal. For now, I'll go through my day like normal. It was an emotional day at Taekwondo for me. I went to help with classes and I thought everything was fine when Android and I were helping with the second class, but at the beginning of our class our instructor told us that we needed to change our attitudes because we were ruining it for the color belts. The thing that made me upset was I didn't know what I did wrong. I'm still not sure. I thought I was being cheerful and that we were doing well. During my class I started crying, but I tried to keep it less obvious. Eventually I took an opportunity to go to the bathroom. And then I cried for a few minutes because I felt very discouraged because I still didn't know what I had done wrong. I had no clue what to do and I was honestly upset with myself. Eventually I got myself back together and went through the rest of class as cheerful as I could. Eventually it got better. There was a break between class and demo, which most of us used to get food. Some of the demo team were playing games but that didn't matter much. Demo team was very fun and I enjoyed basically every minute of it. It was filled with jokes, laughter, and still enough seriousness to actually get things done. Also, when I say everyone was joking around, I mean everyone. Even Android was joking and laughing. If I haven't made it clear, he barely ever laughs, or smiles, or jokes. Unless it's sarcastic. He's gotten more smiley and such, but today he was actually being silly. It was amazing. I was so shocked, in a good way. After demo practice, I've been catching up on entries on here. I'm glad that I finished them all. For the last few weeks, I've gotten very lazy with this, but I wanted to end on time. And now I can say I did. While I can't say that I exactly wrote everyday, I wrote 365 entries for 365 consecutive days. And I'm proud of that. Thank you to everyone who even looked at this for a second. For those who voted, for those who commented, and for those who added it to their reading list. I'm glad you could share your day with me. Now that I've seen that I can write so much I have more confidence in being able to write more often for the books that I've left alone for awhile. Hopefully I can stop procrastinating and actually write my stories. Writing out each day has helped me reflect on what I actually do in a day, and what I worry about. I will be editing this book and the first book into one, which will then make it about 52 chapters. I'll take each week and combine those entries into one chapter. Hopefully now that I'm done writing it I'll have it edited by the end of June. Either way, that's my goal. Thank you for reading A Single Year in the Life of a Teenager. I hope it has brought some entertainment to those who read it. Goodbye people!
