I don't what hurts more: my back or brain

How to describe this week......

GAHHHHHHBOOMBLEHMEHEHHHHHHHHHWHOOSHPLOP!

.....Yes, that seems very accurate. ^^

This week started off innocently enough, then, OUT OF NOWHERE, got super dooper stressful. I don't know quite how to describe it, but the week seemed to mix a bunch of tests and missing a lot of classes, all at the same time. X)

Let's focus on the fun things for a second:

On Tuesday they had this ceremony to hand out money to anyone who passed an English, Math, or Science AP test last year. Of course, I just watched. But, hey, got to skip a class :D.

Then....Weds.....or maybe Monday, we had our Homecoming parade........during school. (Weird right?) So basically, we went and watched the band march, color guard twirl, cheerleaders walk down cheering, and then a bunch of clubs and random seniors on the the backs of cars and trailers throwing candy. XD I didn't understand most of the "floats" but, whatcha going to do? ;)

On Wednesday night my parents and I went to see a spoken word performance at the university. It was AWESOME! <3 The guy was amazing! He'd come from New York for Hispanic Heritage Month and I just loved him. Too bad only like 10 of us showed up to hear him. ><' I liked him so much, I even bought his little book of poetry and got him to sign it. :) Then, instead of studying for one of those many tests I mentioned, we went and got french fries but they were terrible XD.

So, on Weds our calculus teacher had said there was going to test tomorrow (AB). But a girl in my Gov class had heard from her friend in another class that it had been moved to Friday. I went and asked my teacher, and sure enough, IT WAS :D. BUT, we were supposed to keep it a secret so slackers would study ;). When we showed up on Thurs and people realized there was no test people both cheered and got super mad. XD

Next comes BC. Like always, they wanted to put a really hard BC problem and write that it was for the AB. I said, "If you really want to scare them, just put the desks in rows. They think they have a test today, but they don't." They liked that idea. X) So we put all the desks in rows, wrote the song my teacher sings every test day on the back board, then put problems that looked like they could be test q's but made them IMPOSSIBLY HARD. XD. Apparently, they bought it too. ^^ Some people didn't believe those were the q's but were sure there was a test. Others actually got a paper and started working them. XD XD XD. We tis evil <3

Then on Friday we got out of class for a homecoming maid ceremony. They just introduced them all and they sat down and the choir sang. Pretty boring, BUT it was during 2nd period.......so guess who missed that test that had been postponed ;).

In BC, we FINALLY graded that test we took like 3 weeks ago. EVERYONE made an A XD. It was HILARIOUS. I only missed one point ;) and the teacher's all like "You haven't taken AB yet, and you still did so well" I just said "because you taught it!" (even though she BARELY did) but I guess everyone else hates me because they pointed out it was just calculator problems. X)

Friday night is when everything burst into flames. See, I had signed up for SAT Subject tests a while ago........and never got around to studying for them. :/ So, I had a cramming session all of Friday which was REALLY UNcool. T-T Plus, my bus was 20 minutes late to pick us up and I was cranky. ><' Not a good night whatsoever.

Saturday morning wasn't much better. Had to wake up at 6:45 to go take the tests. I'm studying in the car, and when I look up I realize my mom is driving to MY school instead of Fayetteville high. I freak out. We have to turn around and drive ALL the way back in the opposite direction. ><' I was the last one in to the testing room, but at least they hadn't started. -_-' The tests were meh. The math wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I chickened out and took Ecology for bio instead of Molecular (which I swear I would have failed XD). Then the Spanish was a little harder than I thought.

But! To make up for that morning mom got us some penguin ed's and I don't know if I was just really hungry or what but I CHOWED. IN THE CAR. We had to go get more XD because I had eaten all the pulled pork before we were on our way home (we had stopped at Walmart to get bread). I was just so happy. X)

Homecoming was Saturday night. SOMEONE had the bright idea of having it OUTSIDE, at NIGHT, and it was FREEZING. Really, I was wearing a jacket and it was still terrible. I'm all sore today because my joints are stiff. The dance itself wasn't that great. Not much variety. :/ I found it very meh. Didn't help that I could only think of you all and our dances all night X).

Today it's just a work day. :/ But I felt terribly sore and tired so I've been slacking. ^^' Bad me I know.

So long for now,

......I see new people. O.O

Wow! This week has been........strange to say the least? Well, more like surprising. XD

For one thing, I tied for the high score on the AB calculus test (with the teacher's daughter mind you XD) on a test I was SURE I failed. (In contrast, I'm still CERTAIN I failed the BC test :P My calculator couldn't even figure out a problem XD).

Picture day was on Wednesday! I ended up ACTUALLY wearing the dress I bought. (*Gasp!*) I think it turned out ok. :) I ended up getting cap and gown pictures too, because apparently I "might as well". :/

Now, here was what was really strange. On Wednesday, the guy behind me invited me to go to a Chemistry study group with him and some of his friends.......and I didn't even know his name. ><' Obviously, they wanted my super smarticleness, but it was soooooooooo weird. O.o Basically, I said I'd try, got his number, then furiously consulted with Ting and my mom. XD After I decided I wouldn't go, a girl came up to me in another one of my classes and asked if I was going. ...........Didn't know her name either XD. But, I did know she sat in front of me in Chemistry, and felt a little better knowing there was at least ONE other girl there. So, I (somewhat reluctantly) agreed. Sure enough, I showed up at the coffee shop at 7:30 that night, there were just four of us including me......and actually had fun. :) They were a bunch of jocks, and I was basically teaching them, but there was a lot of joking so I enjoyed it. Normally, I'd never put myself out there like that, but apparently I'm much more confident than I once was?

Speaking of confident, you will not believe how crazy I am. I asked a guy to homecoming. Yup. I did. Barely even knew him too, might have talked to him a whole 2 times before I asked. But I decided, "I wouldn't mind him being my date, what the hey! There's a 98% chance he'll say no and think I'm weird, but I'll ask for the 2% he'll say yes. :D" So I did. Went right up to him after class (with a little prodding from Ting, even though she didn't even realize who I wanted to ask), and asked something extremely awkward like, "Hi, I know we don't talk a lot and that this is completely out of nowhere, but would you go to homecoming with me?" (And yes, that's the best I could come up with, sue me.)

As if that's not surprising enough, he said maybe. ^^ (To which, I was freaking out because I was just happy having asked him.)

And to make it even MORE surprising, he came back and said yes. :) The moral of the story? I HAVE A DATE. XD (Which is good, because everyone's still dancing back and forth between, going and not going like always.)

I still can't believe I asked a guy though. ><' Where has this confidence come from?! I HATE asking anybody anything that they might say no to!

On a totally unrelated note, my bio class is giving some baby plants hormones/steriods. :) Also, I think I may be sick. :(

Until Next Time,
