All right, so I am going to attempt a very long post because I've left everyone in the dark for much too long and it seems as if nothing interesting is going on in my life if you were watching it from the sidelines. Aww, look at me going all metaphorical on you! Haha.
Well, I know I just updated and said that I got a new cell phone--and I LOVE it--no lie, hands down, the gospel truth, that's all, FINITE INCANTATEM! I'll take it out at random times during the day and just revel in its sheer awesomeness. Whenever I get a new phone (And I'm on #3 now...that's if you're talking models. I'm on #4 in phones TOTAL.) I just go crazy with it. Okay, I'm done boring you to death with a double post. Let's move onto the new details, shall we?
Today I had a meeting with my Gifted teacher. She's more or less a guidance counselor for us former Gifted students of middle school. She makes sure we're doing amazing and offers us things that other students don't get to do--like contests and seminars and other things. Last year, I ran in fear of the Gifted teacher. Every time she would come looking for me, I'd hide. She was a real pain in the butt because my grades were never up to par and she always made sure to remind me AND my mother.
This year was slightly refreshing, however. I met with the teacher, still a bit apprehensive, but not as much as in the past. This year, I'm 2 percentage points away from Honor Roll for the first time since...7th grade? Something like that. My lowest grade is an 83% C in English, but that'll be easy to bring up if I just continue to do my homework (I missed an assignment or two so far, big whoop!). She didn't yell or lecture me like last year, only told me that she was impressed with my improvement and told me to keep it up. Which was good for me--I left the room feeling less emotionally drained that I had last year. Improvement!
Field Hockey season is winding down...and as soon as it is over, my surge of posts will be so immense, I don't know if you'll be able to handle me. =) We have a game tomorrow, and another on Thursday, Our last practice is on Friday and then we have one more game next Monday. I'm optimistic--I had a good season this year and I'm slightly pleased with myself--even though I was a JV starter. Oh well, it's too last to fuss about it now.
Besides being über-busy with school, I also have Youth and Government again every Wednesday. I've stepped it up a little this year--I'm actually taking my treasurer job seriously. Right now I'm on the website for selling subs and sandwiches, trying to figure out if we're going to order 400 of anything--crazy stuff. That, and I am trying to run for Editor-in-Chief of the Model Newspaper...BIG responsibility, let me tell ya. This Saturday I get to go to Dickinson College for Servant Leader Training...I haven't been an officer before, so I don't know exactly how exciting it's going to be--it could be a total drag.
Well, I have to scamper off and do homework (since I have so much of it) and work, work, work. I hope this update was sufficient enough to meet your needs. =)
See ya later!
