Wow, I have such a complicated, stressful life. I really need Easter vacation. No, I will probably get homework and projects assigned during that. I need summer. Badly. Between people and projects, I am constantly stressed. I honestly do not remember the last time that I was NOT stressed about anything. Between watching out for a girl who probably doesn't even like me, (not watching out for her as in avoiding her, no, watching out for her as in I am helping her out, though she doesn't even know it...), dealing with another who is bordering on obsession with me, (she told me today that me and another girl are the only people she can really talk to), keeping my current friends, dealing with my old friends, and grades and school and homework-there is not enough time in the day and I am EXHASUTED. I literally do nothing but school all week, (except bible study with Saddelback). I wake up at 6:00 a.m. every morning and rarely get to sleep in as long as I'd like on the weekends. Wow, I just read over my post...sorry, I am like totally complaining. Like I said I was going to give up. Right. Hmmmm...a good thing today...well, I can think of funny things....like how I convinced Brandon he should sign up for singing a solo or part in our graduation song hahahahaha. He does have a pretty good voice though. Let's see...I wasn't missing anything today...that is, I turned in all my homework today on time. That's good. And...recess, that was ok. A bunch of us just kicked the ball around. Yesterday, we played this really fun game at lunch...you have to have a lot of people and you stand in a circle. Two people are in the middle. It is keep-away, but you have to pass the ball to people with your feet. Well, there is a bit of cheating that goes on, but it doesn't really matter. Just most of the time, the ball must be on the ground. And the two in the middle have to both try to get the ball. The last one to touch it has to switch with the person who got the ball, and they are then in the middle. It was really fun. Ashley, Emily, Lizzy, and I were the only girls, but whatever. I had a great time, I think I was laughing the whole time. My brother saw me as he walked by. He was just walking around with some friends, because he only plays soccer, because apparently 'no one' plays basketball or anything when the seventh graders don't have the field. Big deal. We do! Then again, we're eighth graders. Whatever. Haha we got in trouble, when Bill or someone kicked the ball over the fence and Guido was sent over the fence to get it. So he climbed over. Later, we were explained to by a very irate and annoyed yard supervisor that the gate had been open all along. Right. And then, Emily and I forgot our jackets, (as usual), panicked, (as usual), went back for them, (as usual), and found, (as usual), that Guido had grabbed them for us. I have to say, Guido is a gentleman. So are a bunch of the guys that we hang out with at lunch and recess. It is nice, after some of the jerks in my classes. And the girls are great because they are not gossips and don't just sit around and make trouble. This group is so simple. And it's amazing. I love it! My old group goes, by turns, talking to me like we're friends and talking about me behind my back. At one point, they said to Emily, 'Wow, I feel sorry for you, 'Blonde' hangs out with you now.' And Emily said, 'What if she's my friend?' To which they said, 'Then you're stupid.' And Emily's like, 'Ok, whatever.' And Emily told me about that. And you know what my response was? 'Wow, they are such LOSERS.' They really are. I have not spent one minute worrying about them and I am so much happier now that I am not with them. They, according, to a girl, have been talking about who I'm hanging out with, etc. Because they have nothing better to do. But I am not like them. I have better things to think about than them. In fact, I can honestly say that I don't care about them. I really don't. And it's such a relief knowing that. This whole thing has been a bit of a blessing in disguiuse, in a way. I can't say that I am glad that it happened, but I am happy where I ended up. One thing I have learned from this is that you should make friends with EVERYONE AND ANYONE WHO IS NICE TO YOU. Because someday, no matter how popular they are now, or how much more popular you are, you might need them. That has happened to me three times that I can think of, and probably so many more. I don't know what I would do if I hadn't included these people when I didn't want to, or was nice when I didn't need to be or was tempted not to be. Well, I really have to go now, so now that I have dumped all that on you...goodbye! Leave a comment, I love getting them! Love, Blonde
