I am a sad excuse for a blogger.

Well, school started 2 1/2 weeks ago.

How is it, you ask?

TERRIBLE. I'm not even kidding.

First of all, I got put in a class with absolutely none of my friends, and there's only a handful of people in my class that are actually bearable. And no, it is not in Spectrum.

In fact, this bothered me so much that I came home and cried for a very long time. My dad called the grade counselor and he put a reference on the principal's desk, but now I have a bad grade in my language arts block because she makes me do the STUPIDEST things: making me put post-it notes (WTF!??!) in my book to help me go back and reference things because "it's what good readers do", which is complete (pardon my french) BS. NOBODY in the real world uses post-it notes to help them go back and reference things.

Also, I thought reading logs were bad, but this lady is EXTREME about them. She makes them with two sides. One is for in-class reading and the other is for at-home reading. AND she makes us write how the character is developing every single time we read. I don't know about anybody else, but the characters in my books don't develop over twenty pages. They develop about halfway through the book. Sometimes I can't even tell you how they've developed because it's so infinitesimal that you barely even notice. I'm also not going back in my book every single time I read to "think about it" because my attention span may be short, but I can hold a lot of information in my little brain, especially about stories, books, and movies.

And I have just figured out that I have two As, three Cs, and a D. I'm sure that'll work really well with getting me into Spectrum. Sigh. At least it makes my Source page colorful.

But anyway.

On a happier note, my birthday is in two days. My parents' gift to me is redoing my room because right now it's not very pretty and it's girly. I like my bookshelf, so I'll keep it and get everything else to match. The colors will be blue for calm and gold for happiness. I will also be getting a full sized bed, instead of a twin, since the twin is getting slightly small and my mattress is a mess. There was a feng shui thing in one of my old magazines that's really easy to follow and very organized.

So anyway, that's all I have to say for now. I'm sure something interesting will happen in my 8th grade escapades (I like the sound of that.... 8GE, I'll call it) so you will probably die of boredom until then. Actually, In two days there might be something. And in another two days after that.

Goodbye, people.
