I'm not going to be using this LJ anymore.
The reasons include:
1. My mom knows about this LJ which is no good.
2. I don't want the Academy kids to read the stupid stuff I've written over the past few years. I've said some dumb stuff that I would like to keep, but not have them all read as we're becoming friends. |

I hate when people are stupid.
A classmate says this in his profile:
"Pet Peeve of the Day
They fought end in and end out for marriage, and they got it. No problem with that, but then why would they go and get divorced? (old link, I know.)"
It was a link to a Fox news story about gay divorces in massachusetts. It's so illogical that you expect all gay marriages to last while only 50% of heterosexual marriages last. It's just so stupid. So so very stupid. You have to ignore all reasoning in order to believe that just because gay marriage was legalized there will be no breakups. it's just a fact of life that some people rush into marriages that they cannot handle.
I'm going to get over it though. |

Life sucks when you're stupid. I wish I had done my physics earlier. i don't get it.
EDIT: I just figured it out. I was making the STUPIDEST error. i really wish I hadn't spent like 3 hours hung up on another small error. i am so bad at making those. |

I've come to hate my livejournal. I've had this thing for 2 years which have included 776 entries. That's alot. I look back at them though and I'm embarassed. Who I was a year ago is not someone that I'm terribly proud of. I said so many dumb things, i acted sop stupid and my attitude was simply horrible.
I'm at like, a whole new stage in my life right now. I'm starting a new school, making new friends and becoming who I will be. It being Junior year is pretty tough. I'm worried about grades and school and friends, but those are all normal. I don't really want my Mass Academy classmates to read some things that i've written in the past two years. Even if no one else thinks it, I think I've grown up alot in 2 years. When i made my livejournal, it was the summer after 7th grade. That seems so long ago. I remember taking the code from katie without her permission because I wanted one. I don't remember why.
Today was a good day and I like days like that. I keep feeling so good after spending time with my classmates because they get me really well. I'm the youngest in my class, no surprize, but they don't mkae a big deal about it. Today Mala asked why I skiped a grade, and I considered lying because I really am embarassed about how it came about, but I told the truth, mostly.We were talking on the way to the Campus Center where we were all going to study., There were like 10 of us. I told them about the kids at Tahanto not liking me. I told them about how I was so out of place and how my classmates detested me so much they felt they had to make threats against my life, even if they weren't actually going to act on it. It surprized the few people who I was talking to. Mala didn't understand that people find me anything but amusing (obviously she shasn't figured out I can be annoying...). She says she wants a tape recording of my voice so when she's sad she can listen to it and it will make her laugh. I love that it's just random like that and I'm not made fun of for my silly voice, but teased about it in a friendly way. I love how I feel when Danielle or kim or Mala or anyone jokes around ith me. I love that Kim and I kick (our form of kick boxing sans the boxing. basically, we just kick each other, We call it a sport. We told the PE teacher that we kick when she asked what sports we do.) I like that noone is a jerk to me just because I'm not all sports gung-ho like the boys in my class. it was me and like 8 girls doing Yoga/Pilaties during gym. I like that people accept me as I am, no questions asked. I like that they seem to want to know about me and I like that they don't hold things against me. I was really scared about telling people that I had been out of school and skipping a grade only came up because I could not be with my classmates, but they didn't even care about the circumstances. Everyone was just apauled that I had been out of school for months.
If ever there was doubt about wanting to go to the Academy, I'm so glad I'm there. It's like a completely different world for me and I really like it.
Going to the Campus Center was WICKED fun. The college students playing pool were like "Are you the HS kids?" and then gave out high fives. I found it so funny. Everyone is so nice as of now. I'm loving that. I'm also loving that I can be my doofy self and make stupid jokes and not have peopleflip out at me.
Everyone is so laid back (and democrats, might I add). I like it.
now, for Physics that I have been putting off for hours. |

mala is running for secretary. She is friends with my friends, though I'm not really sure we're friends yet. This means I would very few votes if I ran for secretary. I must rethink this. |

I had aa pretty good day despite crying TWICE. I am such a total tool. The first time was because Mr. mendard told me after class that my performance in spanish calss was unacceptable. I never know what he says when he asked me questions. He told me that I need to atleast try which upset me so much because I spent like 2 hours yesterday preparing the packet that he barely even did anything with. Don't tell me I'mn not trying. So now I'm getting extra help after and/or before school. I wash Monti wasn't a useless spanish teacher. He told me that I should be able to keep up in class with on e eyar of spanish and I nearly died. I learned like 8 verbs in monti's class and only in the present tense. not to mention, we never learned grammar and sentance structure so its unfair to assume I can form sentances in conversation.
Then in the car I was telling Diane and she was like "Well, he told you to practice over the summer" and I was like WTF he never told me that and I wouldn't have even known WHAT to practice. how do you practice a language all by yourself?
We had mock trial this afternoon which was mildly fun. I got distracted by someone during class so the lawyer advisor guy asked me a question about what he just said and I couldn't answer it. It was just like whgatever though, I ddin't let myself get distracted again. My mind wanders too frequently. I had like ADD all afternoon. In physics I so couldn't concentrate on using the motion sensors.
because I am awesome and I go to the school for the nerds, I'm going to go do some homework. |

I don't like this client as much as the mac one, but I don't want to download and try another one, so I'll use it. For now atleast.
My new comuter is working very well. I thought it might be slow and all because it has only 256 mb memory, but it's not that bad. I guess Idon't really do anything that requires a ton of memory. I love XP though. Ik dodn't quite get how everything works, but I'm figuring it out. I also have to ask Larry if he has a copy of office I canhavae. If not, I only have to pay $5 at the WPI CCC or whatever, but dtiill, that requires going over there.
I need to work on homework. I did my math POW (problem of the week) but I have to write my humanities journal (due tommorow) and finish translating the spanish packet so I understand it. i got the first page done out of 4. 2 are vocab lists that are already defined though. It's not too bad. The packet is about an airport.
I can't find the printer CD. I must find it or else I cannot print.... But I just figured out that I didn't need the CD. Sweet.
Tonight I'm going out to Dinner with Emily and then we're going to hangout or something. I'm wicked excited, but I need to do my homework, like now. |

I am mad because I want all my stuff off of my mac.
I have no music what-so-ever and I can't even get the music I bought from itunes because it can only be downloaded once. I also cannot figure out how to open this computer.
Is mac memory different than PC memory? |

Home from Briarwood. I had alot of fun. Made some friends. I get kindof beat up from the ocean. The rocks were pointy and stuff. Kim and I also sang Camp songs last night. Like the princess pat. That was probably my favortite part. Kyacking was also fun though. And my team won in the makeshift boat race. That was fun. I'm tired. |

I had a surprizingly good day.
mr. mendard told me I sucked at spanish, but we knew this. i contradicted myself about where my parents were from. Eh. Whatever. i need ot elarn some spanish... No me gusta mas. Es muy defacil. Menard esta loco y conoces.
i told prachi "Encontre un chico que amo" and i was so impressed with myself. Lol.
I had a really good day socially, though. Talked with some fun people, felt good in general. I need to start working on talking to people outside of school though.
had a fabulous conversation with Amanda and remembered that she one of my favorite people in the world and I can NOT wait for orchestra to begin.
Now I must go pack for Briarwood (3 day science field trip) and do homework.
i will return on Friday at 1. |

insanesanitytm: I am in such a state of perturbation
your ashke: i am in such a state of "nathan-shut-up-with-your-random-musing-vocabulary-from-nerd-school".
Too much homework. I worked witha boy i am madly in love with today. it was bliss. I didn't even look stupid, well academic wise. I often do though like in Spanish where mr. mendard had me repeat after him, so i did and said "No se mucho de nada" I don't know much of nothing or something like that. Intemediate Spanish = The hardest fucking class of my life.
next to math for which i have not figured out either of the 2 problems he's given out. you have to solve them with proofs or soemthing and I suck so i can't. oh well....
i also saw a boy who i was obsessed with for like a month, today. I still do find him adorable, I wasn't upset to see him. |

Oh, I forgot to mention, I went to my cousin Tyler's birthday party yesterday. he turned 11. So grown up. I remember before he was born and we decided we were going to call him Ty.
but this story is much better than that. I was talking to my grandmother about school and tahanto, etc.
Grammie: "Does that lovely red head still go to tahanto?"
Me: "Lydia? No, she's homeschooled"
Grammie: "But you're still close with her, aren't you?"
me: "Yes grammie, we're good friends"
My grandmother totally thinks Lyd and I are dating. |

Mass Academy makes me so tired. i am ready to go to bed now, adn it's only 9. I did alot of my homework today, which is good. i got a lot this weekend. i have a journal entry and essay for hummanities, a paper for WISE (writing in science and engineering), a friday problem and a car problem for physics 9which take alot of work) and some spanish stuff.
It's not all due monday though, which is good.
i haven't really made any friends yet... it's scaring me.
We're getting atleast one new kid on monday, because our class has shrunk by 2 people already.
And, i apparently forgot to mention, Larry bought me a dell computer. We have to upgrade the ran, but it's pretty good. It doesn't come with office or XP pro (home edition is given) but i can get office and XP pro for $5 a piece from WPI. The memory is only 256, but oh well. it was pretty cheap. |

Today was the 3rd day of school, first day of real classes. It was kindof intense. i got enough homework, none due tommorow though.
!!!!!!! i came up with a research sem idea tonight. i'm going to research the corrosive effects of saliva on brass instruments and [hopefully] come up with a substance, whether liquid sprayed on or a coating that will protect the metal without effecting the sound of the instrument. I think it's a pretty interesting idea.
2 (TWO) kids from the junior class have dropped out and returned to their old school. TWO. That's 4% of my class. Mike and Illian. I can't imagine quitting at this point. We haven't even done anything that hard yet.
i can tell spanish is going to be hard this year. All the girls who said they don't know spanish really do. it bugs me when people say they're really bad at something when they know they're not. It's annoying, though i could be considered hypocritical in some sense. i think it's a certain defense mecanism of not drawing attention for knowing things. Whatever.
'm already confused about physics. it's very annyoing and the math problem took me 30 minutes during class and i passed it in incomplete. The humanities in class write was a joke, basically and I forgot to do my humanities online test tonight. Fuck. i'm going to do it now. |

My day was pretty fabulous. The teachers seem good, for the most part. mr. menard is my "advisor" 9(aka homeroom teacher) and I have him for Intermediate Spanish, which is the lowest level of spanish they offer.
Mrs. Bonneau teachers physics and she reminds me ALOT of Louisa. I'm going to like her class, I can tell.
Mr. Barys is the math teacher. he's... intereesting. I'm not sure if he'll be one of my favorites yet. We'll see. He's nice enough though, which is good.
I talked to some people today. i was pretty proud. I talked to Elise, a senior who reminds me ALOT of arielle. Down ot the looks and attitude, and some of her senior friends. Then to Rebecca, and her friends, obviously. Also some juniors. Corinna, Caitlin and Zachary, mostly. It was a pretty good day. i look forward to this school year.
It still doesn't feel like I'm an Academy student. it really feels like i'm still going back to Tahanto, even though I'm not.
i also found out that I have to participate in the WPI music program in order to audition for Central District. I wasn't pleased by that considering i wasn't expecting to have to do that.... I am going to though. I kindof want to, it was just a surprize.
So, my activities for this year:
Prom Committee (Rebecca has insisted I do this :D)
Mock Trial (as long as I get into it, we filled out elective forms today)
GSA (That's a probably, they're sending out info soon)
WPI Orchestra (hopefully. Their orchestra seat may be by audition only though, in which case, i'll do brass ensamble because band meets 2x a week instead of one)
WYSO (ofcourse because I could leave amanda aone in the horn section)
Should be a good year.. I already know I will miss Tahanto though. It's COMPLETELY different.
Oh and Diane bought me a wallet on her trip. Sweet. I love presents. |

Not having a computer sucks. i didn't get online until like 9 tongiht. It was sad. Modding will be much harder now. i think I may have to shell out to buy one. Ew.
Mom wanted me to call mr. Sevier, and i was like "No, mom, don't be stupid" I don't talk to his son, I'm not going to ask for computer help. God.
School starts tommorow. I'm nervous
I think i'm allergic to dust or cats. my nose has been driving me crazy the past couple weeks. |

Tonight was okay.
Went to christian singles with my mom because there was a coffee house after I was roped into playing at. The service sucked, but then again, i'm not a huge church fan. The coffee house was way too long. Ew. And Dennis was playing my piano accompanyment.... He's a good player, but i only know one person who can play mozart without ever having seen it before and that is Div.
Dennis Deyo... he just made stuff up when he couldn't play what was written. it through me off/made me laugh. Wasn't the best performance in the world...
It was good to see Amanda P though. She's wicked awesome, I miss hanging out with her.
Freaked out about Mass Academy today. i really want to go but I am so underprepared. i have to find someone to ask which interpretation of the prince I need to read. I cant find the paper. gah. And I have NO idea what-so-ever what to do for my research sem thing. My question for Academy students is this (*coughrebeccacough*): how did you discover whatyou wanted to do your on?
I can't get into the Prince which is too bad, because it had the capability of being interesting.
i really want to make friends at the Academy. like, wicked good friends who i hang out with alot, not that I'll have a ton of time , but still. I was being sketchy today and reading Academy kids' myspaces and there are a bunch who are really good friends and i really want that.
And, get this, my mom is thinking about getting a family plan and giving me a phone. That would be wicked sweet... cell phone + not having to pay = orgasmic bliss. |
