School
This is all typed up from writing in the middle of the first day of class.
Okay so the first day of school so far is pretty hectic. Student`s schedule is mixed up, classes are missing, or have a blank slot. So it will take a while before anyone's schedule is fixed.
And I happen to be missing an Algebra 2 Honors class; however, I have a "fundamentals of design"; that makes this two art classes. Considering I am listening to my teacher with this Indian accent stressing himself out about the number of students is too high for his chemistry class due to a risk factor. He seems nice but today...I don`t feel like getting to in-depth with all of that.
Oh god I want my tea so bad right now.
On the bright side I got to see all my friends; it was really good to see some familiar faces. But I have a separate lunch class then them (I had a couple friends in the same period; but one friends got their schedule changed.)
It feels weird; you`ve changed so much this summer. When you feel like that and go back to school, wow. That`s all I can say.
(I think I`m using my blog as some journal....that people can see. Yeeshhh.)

School (French 2 Honors)
Madame Dvorik has this very thick Russian accent...it`s kind of fun listening to her.
- She`s from Moscow
- She already said she is a demanding person
Looks like I am going to learn how to speak French in a thick heavy Russian accent!
Strangely, I`m really excited to speak a different language. She talks about college and how they like your money....a lot.
This makes me think about my art class; I talked to my old geometry teacher(who is my cross country coach). I`ll take the honors math-but I may have to drop ceramics. Hopefully I`ll get out "Fundamental of Design".
....from how the teacher is talking so far, I think I`ll be writing a LOT of French related things in her class.
Oh how I miss learning a different language ;-;
School (English 3 Honors)
It`s almost the end of the school day and everything feels so different. One major things is that I won`t be in the SAE class with everyone else!
It feels like a cage was released and I see new people along with some old friends...perfect!
Now that I think of it...I think I got my wish; and another bonus is that I don't have to see the one person that made me feel so aggravated to be around. To me that feels like a star sticker on my cheek from the universe-like "hey this is life, we think we needed a break and let this one person get out of your life".
I am so happy to have that one person gone and out of my life...hopefully for good. I could never get away from the person, we were in the same social group and I didn't want to start anything unnecessary. Let`s all hope I didn't just jinx myself.
Another bonus would be my classes are in the two trailers...AKA: air conditioning!
...man this makes me thinking of wanting my locker a lot now. I really do not want to carry all this stuff I have to lug around in my duffle bag(full of cross country stuff)
School (American Government)
So the moment I walked in to find a small old women wearing two glasses at once.
It`s strange but interesting. We have AP edition textbooks...not that different from last yea`s history class. Except we had 3 history teachers in one year.
Over all I`m happy that we have more classes in a shorter tie span, and a variety of people. It feels private in a way-some people know you and some people don`t. And the one`s that do either barely know you or are close friends.
I was actually pretty nervous...well more like a negative grumpy person this morning.
"People may forget what you say or do, but they won`t forget how you make them feel"
Green Tea
Once you open that bag full of the tea packet you get this wonder scent of herbs and even the smell somehow calms you down!
"Green tea's antioxidants, called catechins, scavenge for free radicals that can damage DNA and contribute to cancer, blood clots, and atherosclerosis. Grapes and berries, red wine, and dark chocolate also have potent antioxidants." (Julie Edgar-Green Tea`s Powerful Antioxidants)
"Marji McCullough, ScD, RD, the American Cancer Society's strategic director of nutritional epidemiology, says human studies haven't yet proven what researchers like Chan have discovered in the lab: green tea's EGCG regulates and inhibits cancer growth and kills cells that are growing inappropriately. " (Julia Edgar-Green Tea vs Cancer)
"Green tea and its extract have been shown to fight obesity and lower LDL "bad" cholesterol -- two risk factors for heart disease and diabetes -- but in very limited studies. One study in the Netherlands and a study in Japan showed that green tea did both." (Julia Edgar-Green Tea and Weight)
"Taking weight loss supplements that contain green tea extract probably won't hurt, unless you have liver problems." (Julia Edgar-Green Tea Straight up)WebMD-Green Tea Health Benefits (Link to where I got my information from)
Nonetheless, I drink tea simple because it`s relaxing and enjoyable. It`s always nice to know that something you enjoy drinking to help relax is also very health beneficial.
Try some! And if you don't like a certain flavor...there are many kinds of tea boxes, bags, makers, etc that can suite to your tea loving taste(or soon to be).
-Resolution-
I actually followed my New Year`s Resolution so far.
But now for this school year I`ve made another one (it`s a little personal).
Since I`ve gotten out of the rock of my old hermit life (being pretty depressed) I feel a lot healthier and positive all around. It CAN be hard to keep it up; but I`ve found a trick to deal with my little anxiety mishaps.
I wont worry to much about that....or stress at all on my list of resolutions(if you are able to re edit the resolution from the beginning of the year) just relax and slowly over time it will get done!
I think if you pressure yourself its not going to feel fun or enjoyable.
- Get good grades
- make art
- be happy
- socialized
But now for this school year I`ve made another one (it`s a little personal).
- be happy
- make more art (get better)
- socialize with friends (be happy)
- be active with cross country
- avoid conflict with family
- try not to miss as much school as last year
- drink herbal tea everyday!
- get all A`s
- get better with my writing skills
- work on art and possible scholarships

Feeling Good To Let Go of Social Networking
Before this blog I made and several other art sites I created, I rarely got on Facebook. The annoying, drama filled life of social networking. That is why I always clear out my friends list every now and then.
If you are someone that is being cyber bullied, please unfriend the people and block them. Its so much easier to deal with, so even online you feel some security. However, real life is different. You just need to find a way to deal with it, ignore it, and toughen up. Keep yourself in a positive mind state and it makes your environment more positive place. Trust me
It`s nice to let go of people you no longer talk to. It`s like letting go of your past and some weird personal goodbye. Of course that may just be me always making things somewhat personal; or maybe that's just me liking things to be positive and happy.
Never ever, accept friend request of people you don't know. It makes me feel awkward to have someone from Egypt, Middle East, or Africa want to be my friend. Heck, even people in school that you only recognize I don't even want in my business. What little I have as so called "business" on Facebook is just pictures of my artwork, friends, and my recent picture of me in my cross country uniform due to pride.
Anyway, sorry for that rant above. Haha.
It can be hard to let go of "friends" but as you get older you DO learn who they are and what crowd you want to be in. For me, I like having friends were there is NO drama and you can be so laid back and relaxed with. Where you just don't have a care in the world. That's the beauty I see in my friends. I can`t stand gossip, and when I see people talk A LOT of trash, it just gives me the impression they clearly have nothing else better to do then make themselves feel better.
IF you have friends that are like that and worry if they talk about you too. Hate to break it to you, but there is a good chance they do. So if you feel like they really do not like you. You`re the girl or guy that everyone secretly hates. Please do yourself a favor and drop them. Do not put yourself in that kind of situation.
Once you go on with your life, your "friends", and whatever seems to hold you back. You look back with a eased shrug, "boy I really thought I knew everything back then". "Damn, I was so stupid". Any mistakes you've done in the past, don't beat yourself up with it. It makes it more hard on your emotional state and mental. Just give you`re past a glance and just keep moving. Soon...you wont even look back.
And sometimes its so much better not to.
And soon you wont even give it a second thought. Ever.

Sleepless Nights
Don`t you just hate it when you can`t fall asleep? I know I do. Lately I haven`t been getting the sleep that I`ve been needing. At points...I don't mind it at all. Nighttime is peaceful to me, everyone is asleep an you feel like the world is all to yourself. Some nice personal time, no one bothers you, no annoying texts from people, just decent solitary time.
That`s something I`m really going to miss about summer. Make art, watch movies, relax, and nighttime.
The quietness just lets you think about...whatever it is you want. It`s soothing that`s how I look at it. Most people get scared, creeped out, paranoid of the dark. But me? I welcome it, to a extent that is. Jeez this makes me so sure I`m going to miss summer. I`m not ready to juggle everything with school and deal with people. Sadly, that's life.
I think its just the school I go to, everyone has to impress everyone. Be someone, act like a someone, but they`re not. Maybe that's what gets be a little aggravated at times. Just..people want to be fake. Oh well. It`s not THAT bad, I think it just depends on who you are as an individual. I don't let a bunch of people, even one for that matter, bother me. If a day comes that's bad, it was just a bad day not a bad life.
Some people need to learn that.
I guess that's highschool then, learning how to deal with others, and others trying to figure out who they are while you are all at the same time. But maybe that`s what makes me so different, I feel like my mindset is just so different. I talk different, I think different, I even react differently.
It makes it funny! Whenever people try to make fun of you just shrug it off. Nothing but a group of dumbasses anyway.
Even with school coming soon, I have a lot to look forward to. Friends, ceramics (can NOT wait for that class), and cross country. You just need to find your friends and what YOU love doing. And some people...just cant even figure that out! If you let one person or one environment ruin your while day you ruin your whole week, and when you ruin your whole week it can up to a month or even years.
I`m not going to lie, it took my years to figure that out. Perhaps my summer was my peaking point. I am not the same person when school was let out then up to entering my Junior year. (damn...already a junior!) I feel like I`ve found myself and who my friends are. Hell...being in a two week pre-college program made me understand why they say college friends stay with you forever. Not only that, I feel I've made some inner peace with myself...I`ve felt like that for awhile actually but now. It`s stronger.
I`ve messed up a lot in my life so far, but I`ve learned (it was hard) to let things go. And for those out there who have people that just love to bring up the past to start a fight. Don`t go with it. If you're like me, you hate talking about the past. You like to look forward and see positivity around you. Yeah..I know what you`re thinking. How is that possible with a life like mine? Well...I cant give you any answers...that's answer is or you and for you only. I`ve found mine.
And for those out there who may be depressed and cut, have suicidal thoughts. I don't care what people say or what you say. You end your life in time of grief and sadness, you cant change anything or do anything to make it better when the memories follow you into the afterlife. It eliminates any chance of things getting better for you and people around you. There is always a better solution...trust me...I've been there. Its a vicious cycle.
Damn, it always has to be sleepless nights like this that love to get me to ramble. But it feels good.

Stuffy
They protect you
They love you
They care for you
It`s nice to hold
It`s nice to feel
It`s nice to know
That there`s something there
That there`s something here
That there`s something now
You feel hanged
You feel lost
You feel negative
They protect you
They love you
They care for you
There`s something there
There`s something here
There`s something now
No judgments
No grudges
No envy's
No spites
Simply Love.

Do what you can do
Do all that you can
Push yourself everyday
Then look back to see how far you got
You get what you`ve put into it
That`s all that takes
Simple
Yet simple can be hard
Do all that you can
Push yourself everyday
Push yourself everyday
Then look back to see how far you got
You get what you`ve put into it
That`s all that takes
Simple
Yet simple can be hard
Do all that you can
Push yourself everyday
