Time To Play Catch-up

Many things have been going on lately, including birthday parties, track practice and meets, and finding a baby bunny. I'm ecstatic to say that spring break is finally here! This is my first spring break in 2 years!! We are spending it by going camping, one of my favorite things to do in the whole wide world!!!
Now to the main point.There is this guy at school. He's cute, but my friend is really pressuring me to go out with him. At first, it was no big deal, a little funny maybe, but after the first few times it is really getting annoying.How can I tell her to stop without making it sound like I'm really interested in him...which I'm not.

Jealousy

School is coming along great, and I am really enjoying all of my classes, which brings me to my topic: jealousy. I know what you are thinking, how in the world do these 2 topics go together? well I'll explain...


The past few weeks, my Texas History teacher has been stressing how hard we need to study to keep up in this unit. Well, last Thursday was our test. The night before, I studied for over 2 hours! The time to take the test came along, and as I answered the questions and turned in my paper I figured I was destined to fail. I got glances from my teacher, assuring my feeling I was going to fail. As he read off the grades, I was ecstatic to learn I had made a 97! I tied with another boy for the highest score so far. When he showed me which one I missed, my heart sank. I had had the right answer but I changed it to the wrong answer. Well, sorta. It was multiple choice. I had the wrong answer, changed it to the right answer, but then changed it back to the wrong answer!!! I was still happy that a made a 97, just shrugging off the one question until I learned my friend made a perfect 100. That could have been me!! I know friends shouldn't be jealous of their friends, but COME ON!!! SERIOUSLY!!! I'm just disappointed thats all...

What A Mess

You know what sucks? That one of my teachers was accused of kissing a minor... at school!!! Rumor has it that he was led off of campus in cuffs by the police. This happens to be one of my favorite teachers, so I am really upset about the whole thing. There are so many rumors that I don't know what to believe. Some say that she kissed him, but you can't be sure until it is proven. I don't think that he had anything to do with her, however, people aren't always who they seem to be. After being accused, he packed up everything that was his, and resigned from his position. Of course, to keep things confidential, the school won't tell us anything, so we are left hanging. Until we find another teacher, we are stuck with a sub. I just want to know the truth, but, of course, we won't get it.

Help Me!!

I'm having a little bit of a confusion with one of my best friends. Our school has exemptions for semester exams, where a student with passing grades and little absences can exempt either 1 or 2 semester exams. I, being the good student I am ;), got 2 exemptions. I used 1 on language arts, and the other on Texas history. Well, while the other students were testing, a few people and I were sent to the library with our exemption sheets. When we return and the test is over, I find out that my friend was caught cheating. Her consequences are a 0 on the test, her parents will be notified, and the principal was notified. Now they are threatening to take her off of the pre-AP program. The consequences are not what is getting to me, it's the fact that she would do that. It is a really bad influence on the rest of us, not to mention I am stunned that she would do such a thing! I shouldn't expect that from an all-A student, should I?!?!!! She told me jokingly that she was just going to "stick it in her shirt". I never thought that she would do such a thing!I don't know, I'm just not sure anymore. Any thoughts?

A Changing Experience

Boy has it been forever. I just want to start off by saying hope you had a great Christmas and New Year. I enjoyed the time off, as I'm sure you all did. Being back in school has turned life hectic again, so thank God it's the weekend.
Yesterday, I realized how lucky I really am. A choir group called the Watoto group performed at my aunts church. After the performance, each church family takes a few kids home and gives them a place to sleep overnight. She and her husband had 2 kids and an older man (btw, this group is made up of African orphans). Once they got settled in my dad drove my brother and I over to visit with them for a few minutes. They were really nice people. It surprised me how thankful they were just to have someone talk to them. What really shocked me was the fact that, even without families, they were thankful for everything they had. Not once did they complain about having to be on the road for 25 weeks straight. It made me realize how much I actually have, and still I complain. Yesterday, I had a changing experience. Go visit with the kids of the Watoto group, and you too, will have this miracle happen to you.

Love Always, Mouse <3 :)
