September.... November.... February.... April.... JUNE!!
Time flies. It is obvious to people who have stuff to do everyday. But even for those people it is kinda slow sometimes.
The endless sound of "Tic ... Toc ... Tic ... Toc ... Tic ..." from the clock on the brick wall in school is irritating. Sometimes I wish I could slow it down. Just a little bit. Sometimes I wish the opposite.
But the days have been flying by faster than I can even mark on my calender. Well, maybe that's because I don't mark my calender. Twice in the last week have I lost track of the day. I'll think it's Thursday when it ends up to be Friday.
It's hard to believe that I started public school for the first time last SEPTEMBER! Now it's summer!
Then the countdown starts. Well, it really for me starts today. I'm procrastinating, just a little. I'm typing this post. That's what I mean.
Exams start Friday. I have 4 classes. 3 exams. I'm exempting 1. Art 2, obviously easy. My first exam is English 1. This Friday. 4 hours, in 1 seat. 8am to 12pm. The time is going by... fast. I still remember my Algebra's poster on her wall from last semester. "Due dates are a lot closer than they appear." That's so true.
After that exam, the weekend starts. I was going to a party. A concert party. I was going to my friends 16th B-day party and I was excited. It was going to be a pool party and then we were going to see Paramore and No Doubt concert. But, for me at least, it was canceled. My grades in Geometry aren't the best and I am now grounded from going. Go figure. I'm jinxed every time I want something badly. I want to go to a party for once, grades drop and I'm grounded from going, I think I did well on a test, oops, sorry, you did really bad. It isn't fair.
But the weekend will (now newly planned for Saturday also) be devoted to studying. On Monday I have my Geometry exam. Both English and Geometry I can't bypass. They are core classes. But Earth Science. I could skip... I could bypass... I could, but of course. I fail when jinxed. This semester I so was. Maybe I shouldn't have walked under a ladder 3 times this year...
So I'll be taking (even though my teacher hasn't said that yet) the Earth Science EOC. Dang. Just another 4 hours of my life I have to give. But it's better than staying home probably. Maybe. I have 3 months of that to look forward to. Home isn't always boring, but then again it's extremely boring. It is quiet. You'd think I'd have friends to go hang out with this summer in my neighborhood. Maybe. 2. Yep. Maybe 3. All the other girls are either really stuck up or younger than me... actually all the stuck up ones are younger than me.
My bff is comin' in late June early July. I'm hoping to go to Carowinds and to "Phantom of the Opera" in Charlotte. But those are dreams that come with my dad having a job. I'm hoping he gets one soon. Praying. Wishing.
The time tics on though. No hesitation. Just keeps going. I have been tempted to reset the clocks in our house. Just to try. Like if my brother is planning to go hang out with my bff Alex next door at 10:30am and I just walk up to the clock, move the hands to 9:30am and it will throw him off track. Then I change it back when it is 11:30am and it will confuse him. Whoa, that would be a good April fool's trick!
I stare out the window aimlessly, hoping time will stop, that I could relive a moment in my mind. Even if it was in school. Even if it were with my bff's, or even if it were with my bff's and it was the worst day, but turned out funny. I love my imagination. I day dream so much. No, that isn't the reason I don't have the best grades. Idk why I don't have the best grades anymore. Organization maybe. That reminds me, I gotta fix my notebook. I owe all my day dreaming credit to school events and my bff Allison. When Allison and I were younger we used to play acting games, pretend being someone we weren't. I mean, yeah, who doesn't. But this is all we would do everyday in Maryland. We saw each other everyday after she got back from school. We went to her room or her backyard and that was what we did. Put on the makeup. Pretend we were older. Be in college and have super natural powers. We had wild imaginations. Now mix what we did with my school life and there is my own DVD play with only 3 buttons. Play. Pause. Rewind. There isn't a fast foward.
Even the worst moments are interesting when relived through my head. Maybe not at the time though.
School has a big impact on my life right now... maybe because I'm still new at it. But I enjoy it relentlessly.
Exams.
Grades:
93 -100 = A
85 - 92 = B
77 - 84 = C
70 - 76 = D
0 - 69 = F
Aiming for (grade) on exam:
English = 95
Geometry = 88
Earth Science = 96
High expectations.
But time keeps ticking, I still am counting, and the days are flying by. Sooner or later I'm going to have to study. Well, actually, let's make that now. I'm going to read my English book. Rebecca. I'm almost done and I have to finish it by tomorrow. So I'm just going to do that and set up a study plan for this week. So I got to go.
Please leave a comment. Thanks.
