It's been a while, hasn't it? I've just got some life updates and stuff....
My birthday party was alright, albeit a little boring. We watched a lunar eclipse and I bought a pair of boxers at the mall.
Then I came back from vacation and started to get back into the swing of things in school. In my algebra class, we're working on finding the slope of lines, in science class we built a solar-powered marshmellow cooker (using fake sunlight though), in English class we're starting to read Romeo and Juliet (today I got to speak some foul language... and I didn't get in trouble for it!), in History we're learning about knights, in Image Graphics we're melting stuff, and in Gym class we're swimming.
Lately though, my schedule's been a little messed up. The CAPT testing is going on, and all sohpomores have to take it, and freshmen have to take the practice CAPT. So we have only two blocks on some days, normals days on others, shortened classes... it's just all messed up. I'm not even sure if we're going to have time to swim tomorrow, or if we'll just free-swim.
But at least I have a swim suit that slims me down and it modest and stuff, and I've realized that I'm one of only three or four girls in a class with about 15 girls that has significant curves ^___^ That was a little ego boost in itself right there.
I've also been thinking about what classes to take for next year and I've decided that I just want A-level classes because of the work load and my disability and whatnot...
Also, I'm going to take half a year of band (for color guard and which I'll get to ranting about in a minute) and I'm going to try out for the Women's Chorale. My brother thinks that he can teach me scales and treble clef in time for the auditions by the end of the month. Yes, I have to audition to get in. We can't have a bunch of girls who can't sing or who don't have any experience whatsoever in a great female vocal group, neh?
And as for band, the BD is just getting lazy; there's only going to be one week of band camp, four competitions, practice as soon as last block ends (but twice a week this time) and Saturday practice only when there's a competition that day.
And that sucks. I could make an entire entry about how angry I am at the BD, but I won't. Luckily, there's some members of the class who are going to get a presentation together and go to the principal so it can be taken over the BD's head.
On another note, my mom had a meeting with my counselor, the vice-principal, and some other counselors and the school psychologist (who's actually pretty cool) and they started to talk about plans for my 504 and alterations for classes and stuff.
(The 504 is just a plan I can get because I have a processing disability)
First of all, I can get some occupational therapy through the school (hooray ^___^) and second of all, for the last quarter of this school year, I'm getting moved to a different gym class. A class for Juniors and Seniors only. It's called Lifetime Fitness, and it's all about yoga, aerobics, conditioning, and a bunch of laid-back kinds of exercises. It's (usually) an all-girl class, which means no immature freshman boys to throw the ball at my face.
Needless to say, I am very greatful.
Oh, and now for something completely unrelated.
A friend of mine read a piece of writing I had posted on Deviantart ( http://horse-lady90.deviantart.com ) and s/he (my friend requested to remain genderless) asked to have an interview with my antagonist. So I was given a bunch of interview questions and I had Drake answer them, so it was a fun bit of character development. But writing that and developing my antagonist gave me just enough motivation to continue writing my book. I got past a writer's block and I'm currently almost done with chapter seven, and when chapter eight starts, it'll be in a new document.
Well, that's all for now. The pre-CAPT sucks. I need more sleep. I want food.
And while i go get some food, you nonexistent readers can leave some nonexistent comments, okay? ^___^ This is Horse, singing and signing out.
