So, I haven't written anything in a very long time. I've just been really busy, and I don't think about writing much for fun because of school. Last time a wrote anything was last march, so since then stuff has changed. Zack and I broke up for various reasons, but we're still friends. I'm going out with Nick now, and he's very sweet and funny. I love him very much. He's always worried about me, and I worry about him too. I think we would worry less if we lived closer. He's really nice and cute, and I'm so lucky to have him in my life. I still miss my friends from Huron a whole bunch, they mean a lot to me, and I'd be lost without them. I'm trying to make friends in New Albany, but I'm pretty quiet there still. I haven't really cut my hair, just a trim, so its still really long. This year school is really stressing me out a lot. I spend most of my time doing homework, and I always feel like there's no end in sight. My teacher's are nice, but they always think that their class is most important, and I usually have homework from all my classes every night. I just feel like the homework is preventing students from having a life out of school and is causing a lot of grief. My sister cries over her homework because she doesn't get it, and I'm not the teacher type. Her homework takes forever too, and I don't feel like helping her and doing my own. Its not that I don't get hers, but its just hard to explain in a way that she will understand. Next year I'm going to drop all the classes that I don't need to take to graduate. I have all the required math and science credits, and I'm probably not going to take Spanish next year. That will leave room for band, art, and computer classes. I need to take gym again next year, so I'll have a semester for another class. I'll probably take photography. I just got back from an anime convention, and it rocked! I cosplayed as Kobato, but some the seams started ripping. The walk between the convention and the hotel was frigid. I got to see Nick, some other friends from Huron, people from my anime club, and some people from school. I'm still in band, and I love it. Next weekend I have solo and ensemble, which is a competition. I've really been practicing a lot, but I'm still worried. My mom's boyfriend, Joe, was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My grandma died from that same kind of cancer. I'm really sad, but I think he'll pull through. He's much stronger than my grandma was; she was 4'9" and weighed 82 lbs. Well, I have to go for now. Bye bye ^.^
