I love friday classes but its sooo much stress!
K so all week I've been thinking that I had a break this friday because i was getting it confused with a halloween break another class was taking and so today at belt testing mrs. sandy mentions friday classes and was like- riiigggghhhtttt.
So all my weeks work is being done in the 3 hours I have before sleep. Along with a family blow out and my mom refusing to speak for 2 hours while her NCIS's where on. That cut about an hour out of studying also my moms new policy of going to bed without staying up a little late for school thing... then getting up at five in the morning to create "peace" long story- dont ask.
So now I am blogging during the time I should be doing school. Why? because even thought I'm not sure if anyone knows I have a new blog, I can write whatever I want to write and have at least a 17 hour delay of my mom yelling at me for it.
Nice change.
Did I mention that my mom is set on sending me back to school next year? Why? Because I can't get anything done on her schedule.
O_o
Ya my schedule is messed up and most of the school I get done starts at 5 pm and ends at 1o-11. No I didn't choose this and my mom doesn't get that. I mean do you SERIOUSLY think I want to stay up till 11:30 and when I have to wake up at 5??????????????????
And yes the guy who does history (on dvd) is a nut and drives me insane but everything wrong I do is not because I'm trying to avoid it! Especially when it's already done!
Apparently I'm not the only one whos brain needs a brake. I think everyone could use a break. This added with my natural blondness is messing with me.
And now I am blogging when I should be working. Why? Because I can. Because I want to. Because I'm sick of the automatic yelling that happens every time I open my mouth.
Except she has a blog too, and people actually read hers... so she wins.

Belt Testing!
Crazy.
We started with techniques and earlier Mrs. Stancil told us that if we stopped trying that she would stop our belt testing and we would fail...
so i tried to avoid that.
Generally on the techiniques i think i did all right, i got confused at some points and did the wrong technique- idk if that effects my score badly or not...
Then we did forms... grr. Doing white-blue belt forms 2 times over (one with mrs. stancil counting and when on my own.) is kinda tiring! I started white belt with the mindset of do it as perfect as possible because its white belt, by blue belt my mindset was save some energy for brown belt. That was a stupid idea because mrs. stancil let us take a break. Then when we got called up again... i messed up sooo bad. I forgot two moves, forgot to add power then when I realised it tried to do it with power and then messed up my techinique, over and over again till i was done. I dont really know what to think of my form, my friends say it was good, but what are they going to say? "Your form was terrible and you'll probably fail because ur testing for red belt and you looked like a white belt." No, I'm pretty sure if my friends asked if they did bad thats not the answer I would give them.
Then one steps, I don't remember how I did on those. I wasn't told to do anything so I'm assuming all the moves were right, and I wasn't tired so that was pretty easy.
Sparring. :O
Wayyyyyyy easier then I thought it would be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was short and not as stressful as everything else. I fought zach, jeremy, and logan. All of them are taller and better and if it was a real fight and they where trying to hurt me.... no question- i would be down in the first 15 seconds. My mom said I looked "tough" which translated as you got beat up but you took it well.... ok then.
Then a few termonologies with the class, no problem.
That was the end of tuesday testing.
I went home thinking that the worst was over and everything thursday would be a breeze. Yeah- not at all. Bo staff sucked, I screwed up on everything. On the bright side we didnt have to do form, but pretty much everything we went over I didnt remember learning, so I tried to copy steven because he knew what he was doing. Im freaking out because when I pictured myself failing I did not picture it being because of bo staff.
Board breaks- I felt like I was going to throw up. Everyone did really well, we all broke them. Definately not the thing I shoul've been freaking out about. Verses where fine, I think everyone in the class was expecting to do them all together so if you missed one its ok, thats what we did last time. This time we didn't do it one at a time like we used to but it was a smaller group so i'm pretty sure mrs. stancil could hear us. I had to say one verse either two times or three times. The first time I stopped when everyone in the group was saying it because if you miss a part then when you go back and say it all the voices get jumbled up and its confusing, I hope she didnt count that as my first try. Then the second time I paraphrased to much or said it too slowly or something because I had to say it again, after that we said another verse and then we where done.
Demo practice was fun, I love demos, probably because you don't have to test for them.

BELT TESTING IS IN 4 DAYS!
Im testing for red belt which is 2 away from black... I do not think im ready! I can probably pass I just dont think its going to be a good testing. I'm ok in forms, I practiced as soon as I got home yesturday.... so I know all of them now. One steps are alright, it's confusing because a lot of them are alike and for some reason I never remember green belt. I have to practice techniques because i get those confused too... and then doing everything with power cuz mrs. stancil says if we lack power at all then we're done...
and I'm still not sure if I know my bo staff form.
So I've been freaking out about that all week.
Other then that........... my life has been pretty much school and facebook lol.
hmmm- last night my mom almost broke my laptop, so I stayed up till two in the morning making sure it still worked. Idk what happened but i start it up and rescue and recovery comes on and it put all my pictures and videos and music in some hidden folder that took me 4 hours to find. Then I woke up with a huge headache because i had fallen asleep on my laptop! I went back to sleep and then read a full book.
It's one of those lazy days where i get nothing done or a lot of pointless things done.
Also my sister has some sort of grudge today because she will NOT leave me alone! First she goes through my room and then she gets mad at me for not washing a shirt that got thrown in my room because its not mine. so now im sitting in my room being a hermit.
I have to finish to kill a mocking bird too... Im probably 200 pages behind on that 0_o
I miss friday classes... they give me something to do.
Me, my mom, and possibly miranda were going to go to the movies but now my mom is sick... plus theres nothing both me and my mom want to see.
I was supposed to get my hair done today but Ms. Ferrara called and she has a hurt leg so she has to go to the doctors...
It's also really cold! thats bugging me- stupid weather!

GAH... school work....
I take two classes at the bookstore this year, as opposed to the four then three i took last year, and somehow I still manage to have more work! The writing class has gotten surprisingly easy... that's probably just because i took the same exact class last year. The work is time consuming and kinda annoying because I've done it all before. She's a good teacher though (my mom emphasizes this every time I complain) and I learn a lot from her... I wish a could take a writing class that was about writing books... that's what everyone in my class that I've asked says. Most of us like to write, but being told what to write- not so much. For a language class though, it's pretty good.
Then I take algebra, I love my teacher! She's probably one of my favorite teachers I've ever had. (including public school) Algebra itself is alright, better then pre algebra. I can do it, and I get it right but it takes so much time and I know that one or two chapters down I'll be lost. That always happens... stupid math.
I take history at home, its on dvd and the dude dresses up like some Egyptian or Buddhist and puts on an annoying accent for 30 minutes. My mom says he's brilliant but me and my sister agree its annoying...
Then I take World Veiw. It's a bible study and I like it. Opposed to the light house ones we did a year ago its wayyyy better.
I also go to Friday Classes with savannah. I take two classes there, writing and science.
Yep another writing! It's like the stuff we cover in mrs. klines class only it's a little more detailed. I really like it, even though have the time I'm confused because I wasn't there for what they where talking about...
I just don't get science. I understood physical science, but general science confuses me. Mr. Ramses is an amazing teacher and by the end of class I usually understand what he's talking about. But during the week when we're reading the book... I just dont get it.
Now it doesn't seem like a lot, but I don't have any time to do classwork on Wednesdays or Fridays (then im at Friday classes) I have from 12- 3 on Tuesdays and Thursdays to get all my work done or my mom starts freaking out. On mondays I have all day to get most of my weeks work done... my schedule is pretty messed up.
K so thats my rant on school- it was probably incredibly boring so congratulations if you made it to the end!

... and then I found five bucks...
So I could've continued writing on the Purple Pinstripes one... but I havent written on it in 2 months. It would bug me to have a two month gap in between the archives.
Soooo
After Friday classes I went to savannahs house and we stayed up basically all night (we fell asleep around 7) we pretty much ate all night. But that's the only thing that kept me from falling alseep. We had coke, reddi whip (ten times better than cool whip,) Cheetos, lindor truffles, ice cream, and two huge snicker bars (it took us two days to finish them.)
On Saturday they got chickens!!! Their still babies... soooo cute! We named one Donut, Mocha, Cluck, Chuck Norris, and my favorite- football!
Donut is white with a little black going down his back, Mocha is the only brown one, cluck is like donut but shes got more black then donut, chuck norris looks like shes got a mohawk because of the way her head is colored. Its white and then a brown streak with black on the edges, then shes got black going down her back. Shes mean to all the other chicks and tackles them and kicks them so that's why she (he?) is named chuck norris. Then theres this pure golden one thats really cute and we named her football because we have a new obsession with it, since we play every spare chance we get at friday classes (Even though i have no talent.)
We went to cicis... best pizza ever! I haven't been there since my birthday which is weird because its one of my favorite restaurants. I spent the night again and then we went to messiah for church. (miranda, lindsay, and mrs stancils church) They had the lords supper and then lunch. I love how they always eat together afterwords. I wish my church would do that. Then I went to overflow, Pastor Dave did a really good sermon :D
Ohhh and I put together a soccer goal! Me and about 5 other guys were putting together a mini soccer goal and the first time we put it together wrong, the second time it was backwards, and the third time it was upside down. We did get it on the last try though, and it only took us two tries to get the net on... and no we did not read directions.
Thats pretty much all I did this weekend, tomorrow I'm going to help someone clean their house. She's a professional hair stylist and so she's going to do a haircut and lowlights =)
Now Im going to bed which should be easy considering i havent gotten more then 8 hours of sleep in the last 3 days...
