Today (or should I say yesterday..) was just another ordinary day. We voted for senior superlatives today, it's crazy how everyone was vote hustlin' me and so emotional about getting voted in for something. I mean I guess it's great to be voted something but don't start talking to me all of a sudden just so you can have my vote, LOL. But I'm not gonna lie, I was part of the madness too, asking people on Facebook to vote for certain people (including myself), but once I thought about it, I realized that it's better for your classmates to think of you as a certain persona than for you to impose yourself upon them, forcing them to vote for you, because even if you win something, your not going to be remembered for that characteristic or trait, you're going to be remembered as that person who told me to vote for them. I would love to win something personally, but if I don't it's all good. Superlatives don't determine the legacy you live or the things you do in life, so advice to underclassmen: Whether you win or lose in senior superlatives JUST LIVE YOUR LIFE!!
So, I never got the chance to talk to my guidance counselor about dropping AP Spanish, but I did talk to my actual teacher. My morale went up a little just by talking to him, I realized that I actually enjoy Spanish, I just got caught up in the moment when I saw that I wasn't doing to well with my quiz results etc. More advice to underclassmen: Get to know your teachers, they are your BEST friends, some of them may get on your nerves at times but think about how many times you've been a "d-bag" towards them in class. You are going to be with them for the rest of the school year and they are going to be the same people who write your college recommendations and give you advice since they know you best, so stop bitching (OK, maybe once in a while is fine and btw, excuse my language) about them and try to get along with them!!
Seems like this year is going to be a great year with hard work and dedication, I am writing my day 8 journal on day 9 (an off day) because I took a long nap on day 8 (yesterday) and couldn't find time to write yesterday plus day 9 (today) we're off from school because of some Jewish holiday. Actually, if you count Labor Day then technically yesterday was day 9 and today is day 10, but before I confuse myself, I guess we'll just stick to the way it is right now. Doing my final touches on a summer project that is due tomorrow which is the same day our school plays their first home football game of the season. Talk to you guys later, got 2 go. God bless, be breezy, PEACE I'm Out........Thank you for walking a day in my shoes on day EIGHT and NINE of my senior year in high school.

Day 7

Today was an OK day, nothing really significant happened. I have tons of homework to do and I'm in the middle of practicing for my SAT's in October. I had a summer project that I've had all summer to do, but sadly it took me until the last week that is was due, to actually do it; SMH! For some reason, I woke up with a good mood and great outlook on the day and my day seemed to go by so much easier. This taught me a valuable lesson, whatever is going through your mind and stressing you out should be cleared from your mind when going to school or communicating with others in society, it's better to put a smile on your face than seem peeved off and end up irritating everyone else. Due to the lack of sleep I get because of the tons of homework I get from taking 3 AP classes, my night is usually ending at earliest 1AM, so it's pretty hard to put a smile on my face; but based off of today's experience, I need to smile more no matter how tired or stressed I am, because none of my worries (i.e. college, scholarships, AP exams etc.) are ever going to go away anytime soon, but a chance to enjoy and live my life could drift away if I don't mix in school with laughter and happiness.
I am really considering switching out of AP Spanish just because I don't enjoy Spanish anymore and it seems like I'm not understanding anything we're doing in class. I feel like the sun, when it's outside during a thunderstorm (so confused, wondering what I am doing here.....actually maybe that wasn't a great analogy, but I digress...). So we'll see what happens, I'm going to talk to my guidance counselor tomorrow to see what happens and I'll let you guys know. I feel so energized today, why can't their be more 3 day weekends :(((( Anyway, I got 2 go get started on that tarea of mines, talk to you tomorrow. Thank you for walking a day in my life on Day SEVEN of my high school senior year!

day 6
Today is Monday but it's labor day!!!!! Thank goodness we have a day off from school. So I basically did nothing today or This weekend smh except for eating.
I hate when I have this feeling that I have homework that I haven't done but idk what I haven't done. I hope it's just a feeling and not reality cuz I have no time for BS'ing this school year.
So back to school tomar BUT I'm off on Thursday, yeah, thank God for the Jews and Rosh Shashanah (or however the hell u spell it). I still got an assignment due on Friday that I haven't finished from the summer and our school has their first home game of the season (for football), so I'm a little bummed and happy at the same time.
Anyways going to bed. God bless. Be breezy and good nite. Thank u for walking anoher day in my shoes for day SIX of my senior year.

Day 3
So day 3 was ok. My whole week has been interesting. Not knowing where my 1st class was on Monday after being in the same school for 3 FREAKIN' years. Missing the bus cuz I was waiting for my bro's bus to come and ending up being late on the 2nd day of school lmao. And now today we randomly got out of school 2 hours early because of the heat. Yes, it's hot but it's been way hotter on other days we've been stuck in school. Didn't get much sleep bcuz of doing my summer projects last nite and sadly some of my teachers still posted my homework for today online even though I didn't even go to their class because of the closure........huh (shrug) oh man!! I guess I'm gonna take a nap now to catch up on some sleep. Good night even though it's only 1 pm lol.
Thank u 4 walking in my shoes on day THREE of my senior year in high school -Class of '11 ALL DAY!!!
