First Week!!!

So this week was the first week of school and I can already tell you guys that I had an amazing week. I absolutely loved the school. The school is, in one word, different. All of the aspects of the school is different than what I'm used to. This is a new experience for me. My schedule for this school is just absolutely crazy-weird. I have math, social studies, science, language arts, art, lunch, Chinese, Spanish, athletics, and lastly my enrichment period/homeroom. All of my classes are awesome. The majority of the teachers come from other places around the country and some around the world. Both my Spanish teacher and math teacher come from Spain, while my Chinese teacher actually came from China. I think that I'm still trying to get used to the school and waking up early enough. Like I said in my other post about the school, this school starts at 7:45 in the morning. For me last year, that was usually the time that I woke up for school to get on the bus. That is sadly not the case for this year. I have to wake up at 5 a.m. in the freaking morning just to be out of the house by 7. This would be easy for me if I it was just me, but there's also my sisters. None of us are morning people, but, for me, it's easy to actually wake up than my sisters. Once I'm awake, I usually stay awake. Anyways, I'm really excited about this school year and I hope it goes really well. So a cabo la paz! Hépíngle! Peace out till next time!

Soccer Game!!

Last night was my first soccer game. I can officially say that soccer is my favorite sport. The game was against another middle school in my district called the Tidwell Titans. Since there were two teams with no substitutes, we all had to be in the game the whole time. I played the left outside midfield and I loved my position. I got to do the throw-ins if the ball went out on the other team. The only bad part about soccer is all the running. I'm not a very fast runner, but I can run for long periods. Running for an hour in cleats and shin guards that I'm still trying to get used to isn't really good. Since we had no subs and both A and B team was exhausted after their specific game, we might just combine the two teams so that we have subs for when we get tired. But until next Monday, we won't know what's going to happen for our next game in two weeks.

Bored at Home

So, today semester exams ended. I checked my grades for all of my exams and I am ecstatic about the grades. In language arts, I got a 90 on both my multiple choice section and essay. In math, I got a 92 on the multiple choice and a 100 on the essay portion. I got a 100 on my science exam. For Texas history, what I thought would be hard, I got a 96 on the exam. For athletics, everyone got a 100. Journalism, I got a 100. I worked so hard for that specific exam. We were supposed to write a story about the three Cleveland girls that were rescued last year, but we were supposed to write it for middle school students. Anyways I'm here at my house bored and tired, but I don't want to go to sleep. I was looking at this new website that I'm going to be using in my career portals class. It's called Tackk and, so far, is awesome. Basically, you make this website. I think it's so cool to use. Below are my favorite Tackks:

Semester Exams

There's only one time in the year that I absolutely dislike. Semester Exam Week. Those three words are horrible. I'm pretty for sure that everyone doesn't like semester exams. Even the people that don't like doing school work. Either way, semester exam week is dreadful. When we're not taking a test, we're studying for another. It's just study, study, test, study, study, study, test, and study. We do nothing but study. I know that some teachers don't like it. The two days that we have half days are full days for the teachers. The look on my math teacher Ms. Kerby was so funny. Another reason why semester exams suck is that it's about everything that you learn in the whole first semester of school. Nobody remembers that stuff. It's so funny to see people go at the last minute to study for a test. The bad thing, for me, is that I have to actually study. Even I don't remember some of the things that I learned this year. Today, I had my third and seventh period exams. That's science and math for me. They kind of balance each other because I don't like science, but I love math. I was so prepared for the math test, until my Ms. Kerby said that it was extremely hard and the previous period didn't even finish the test. Otherwise, I went from being super prepared for a test that I now felt that I will fail. We started the test today and I can completely agree with Ms. Kerby. We had a little over two hours to do the test. Halfway through the two hours, I was only on question 12. I knew then that there was absolutely no way that I would finish this test today. Tomorrow, I have Texas History and my Newspaper exam. I, specifically, am worried about my Texas History. Even though I practically grew up here, I'm still trying to get the history part down. The test is about the 5 regions of Texas, Native American cultures, Texas Exploration, Spanish Colonization, Mission System, Texas Revolution, and the Civil War. Basically, Texas before 1870. My only hope is that I get a some-what good grade on all exams.

UPDATE!!!

OH MY GOSH! Since the last time I've posted, I've been busy with homework! I forgot all about my blog and feel so bad. I haven't posted for almost a whole month. School has been really hard for me with all of the homework and having to work around my schedule. With basketball tryouts coming up, I've been working my butt off trying to get my school work done. After that, I have to start getting ready for Thanksgiving. Some family are coming over and I really need to clean my room. I can't wait till Thanksgiving Break!

My Fantastic/Horrible Week (So Far)

These past two days have been fantastic for me. Yesterday in first period, we did absolutely nothing. We only had to review someone's Native American PowerPoint and then submit it to our teacher. In my career portals class, we only had to work on our "resume" and cover letter. Science was as boring as always. In journalism, we got to spend the whole entire period taking pictures of people dressed in red, white, and blue to honor 9/11. In language arts, all we had to do was peer edit our personal narratives and do our vocabulary words. Math is a wasted period. I mean, we never do anything in that class. Athletics was awesome. All we did was laps in the gym. Overall, that day was awesome. Today was just as good. It was picture day and we had to take our pictures during our social studies period. Thankfully, mine is my first period. By the time we got back to class, there was only like twenty minutes left. So, we got to watch a video honoring those who died twelve years ago on September 11th. Career portals, science, math, and language arts were pretty much the same. In journalism, a couple of my friends and I got to start our first story. It's about the honoring those who died on September 11 twelve years ago. After school, I was completely wore out. I got home, at my usual time, to only find that we were going to have this electrician come and install our new kitchen lights. That was bad for me because I had to work on four assignments. My day only got better and better when the electrician left my house. At nine-freaking-o'clock. That means he was here for about three hours. I never thought that was possible, but him and my dad were buddies making them talk and joke around. I am so tired. that I could literally pass out and not finish this post. Luckily, I'm not that wore out. I probably won't post till like Friday at the most. Hope my week will finish off just like it started. Peace!

Tough Day at School :(

Oh my gosh! Today was a very loooooong day. First period, all we did was work on this PowerPoint about a Indian tribe in Texas. Second period, was career portals and all we did was finish the rest of the things that we did yesterday. Third period, we actually had to take two quizzes; one was a safety quiz and the other was about force and motion. Fourth period, was journalism and we got to look at all of our blogs. The blogs are all on my blog list on the right column. Most of them barely have their first posts. We just started these blogs last week. Fifth/sixth period was language arts. For about the first hour, we spent that whole time trying to upload this personal narrative that we'd written on Monday. Sixth/seventh period was math. I absolutely hate that class. Everybody is so talkative. Sometimes, I just feel like yelling to everybody to shut up. The bad part about it is that not only is it a Pre-AP class, but the people that are talking all are flirting. It's just annoying to hear. Athletics, my eighth period, was awesome today. We ran half a mile, two times around the track/football field, in less than three minutes. Then, we went inside and ran about the rest of the mile because it felt like a hundred degrees outside. Today, I finally got to see the one person that I've been looking for the two weeks. My friend, Lily, and I got to sit in the very back of the bus. We were so happy because it was the coldest part of the whole entire bus. When I got home, I got to spend pretty much the whole entire time working on my Texas history homework. Curse you homework! Whoever came up with that idea should have thought more about their future descendants because we all hate homework. Hope you all have a blessed day! Peace!

Last Day!!!

I am so tired and the bad part of it is that we only just had breakfast. I promise, I will be very impatient this week at school. This weekend, we were originally supposed to go to San Antonio, but of course we had to have company. This was supposed to be a relaxing weekend, but it's only made me even more stressed. I just want the house to be quiet and listen to my radio. That would be my ideal weekend. Just a couple of more hours before they leave. God, give me strength.

The First Night

Today, was an interesting night. For dinner, we had fried fish, french fries, and homemade cole slaw. We ate in two different groups; the people under 18 years old and the elders. Making the food wasn't super hard. The hardest part of the night was actually serving the dinner. Making food for twelve people is nothing the same as serving for twelve people. For starters, there were a total of seven children in the house, all at different ages. By the time we all actually finished dinner, it was about nine. We either ate chocolate cake or lemon cake with cookies and cream, apple pie, or strawberry ice cream. My cousin's sister from Dallas came over and visited for a couple of hours. Getting everybody to bed was a harder task. First, we had to move the couch in the media room to fit the air mattress in the middle of the room. Then, we had to get to futon in the game room fixed for the boys. Then we finally got to bed. Today was a hard day, but the bad thing is that there's still two days left for their visit.

Meeting the Family

My family just came and I am shocked because they are nothing how I thought they were. My cousin, that I just met for the first time, looks almost nothing like her mom. The oldest boy looks exactly like his dad and the last two look like a boy version of their mom. I was a little scared about how they would be like. The youngest one is probably the cutest little boy that I've ever seen. I will make sure to post some pictures of them. Give me hope!

OMG! I am so sore from trying out for volleyball this week. It was a four-day tryout with a total of 80 girls trying out. My thighs and feet hurt so much from running and jumping this whole week. In the end I didn't make the team, but I'm okay with that. There's always next year to try out. Today, my aunt, cousin, and her family is coming. She has THREE boys. The oldest is 11 so this is going to be a rough weekend for me. I can't wait till school starts again, cause I don't really want them to come. The house only has a total of four people and there's already six people in my family. That adds up to twelve people. It is going to be a chaotic weekend. Wish me luck!
