Pain In The Butt!!!
Holy cow! So I have been working on English 9 packets for two days straight now. I am almost completely done with one and not even halfway done with the second! My brain is fried! And the worst part is, they're online packets. I can't even begin to count how many times my work has been deleted because I accidentally clicked on something or it just stopped working so I had to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and start it ALL over again! Talk about frustrating. And what makes it even worse is that I was 1% away from getting a passing grade in my English 9 class... It was fourth term, and I can still remember talking to her and oh my, I was SOOO mad... I couldn't believe it. And she even told me that she's usually lenient and I would've got a passing grade if my final project hadn't sucked so much. She didn't like my final project... and I worked long and hard on that project... just goes to show english is definitely not my forte. Teachers can be so dang harsh sometimes!

Another One
New post. I have a lot of stuff I need to get off my mind.
Hard work and dedication. Why do some people start something that they know will require work, and yet they don't care, don't try, or expect it to be easy? Take me for example. When there's something I don't want to do and there's no motivating influence for me to do it... I do it grudgingly. But, when something motivates me to do it, the chore then seems fun and not so tedious. Also, when I find something I'm good at, and there are certain requirements to fulfill so I can keep doing that something, I bust my butt off and do everything I can to keep doing what I do. But there's a catch... I also have to rely on my team. There are those fun people that we all know and love that don't care about the team and basically are telling you and the other team members, "You're working your butt off for nothing because I don't care and I don't want to do this anymore. I want this to be overwith asap." To me, that's extremely selfish. And don't judge me, I know I'm not perfect. I'm writing these posts for my own benefit as well. But when I work with people, and I work my butt off for the team as well as for myself, and the other team members work so hard too, you feel really stupid for working so hard for the ones that don't care... because all they are doing is dragging the team down with them, but they're selfish and are only thinking about themselves and what they want... and again, you find yourself on the deciding line of if your team will be able to continue and work together and settle our differences... or to have it ripped out from under us. We'll see what the future holds... As a great teacher of mine always says, "Be your better"... yes, it will take work, and yes, it will be hard at times... but isn't that what life is all about?

No Comprendo...
So I can't sleep and I'm not really tired, so I'm posting again. This blog will get better, I promise. Just try to be patient. :)
So... an issue I have with people... and don't judge me, because I know I do it too, but I'm trying so hard to get stop it... backbiting and gossip. Why can't people just get over their differences and talk things out? Is it really that hard to talk to a person, and also listen, and keep a civil mind instead of talking crap about them behind their backs or blowing up in others faces? That's one of the main problems in this world and it's a main reason that so many are hurt, killed, or even commit suicide, and just have problems with themselves. It's not right! And then there are the hypocrites that look down on this kind of stuff, and then do it themselves! Why is it so hard to just attempt to get along? If humans had the common sense to even try and stay civil and talk their problems through, the world could be such a better place! Just my venting for the night. And if anyone could leave their comments so I could understand why people do this, please do, because I don't even understand why I do it when I do. It's a problem we all have... and it needs to be solved.

I'm So Cool
So I finally have a blog... amazing. Who would've thunk? So I've been watching the Jazz game... it's pretty intense. The referees are so annoying though. It's been quite intense and angering! Take Harpring for example. He was knocked to the floor twice in a minute by the same guy... hurt his head the second time and went in to punch Smith from Atlanta... almost broke into a fight. And the funny thing is, even though Smith knocked Harpring down twice, and it was obvious, there wasn't a foul called on the first one, but Smith got kicked out the second time. Finally, justice! It just annoys me how referees only think of money and not the game... they make more money if they go for the bigger cities. Ticks me off. Our world today is just so disgusting. It's all about money and power... so so greedy. I am going to become a referee for the NBA, kill all the idiot ones out there (since I have such amazing ninja skills... more details later), and be the best and most feared and respected referee out there! Muahaha!!! Watch out NBA refs... here comes your worst nightmare!!!!
