January- I was dealing with bullying still around this time and I had just gotten home from my Christmas Vacation from Texas. I joined Musically this month. I met a good friend of mine this month, his name is Noah.

February- We had class games and spirit week for homecoming this month. I went to the lock in with my boyfriend. It was valentines day this month and track started this month.

March- My first track meet was this month of the year. I got new glasses this month and was definitely scared of what people would think but most people seemed to like them.

April- My birthday was this month. I had Sydney, Joe, David, and Paige there.

May- School ended this month. Prom and the lock in was also this month. That was amazing. Sectionals for track was this month and I didnt make it to state sadly. Finals blew this month as well. My Boyfriend also graduated this month

November- My one year anniversary with Brody happened.

December- It's Christmas time this month and that's pretty exciting in general. I spent way too much money on my boyfriend this money in general because of his birthday and Christmas but thats okay. I also dont have to take any of my finals and I'm pretty stoked about that.

Week 15 Extreme Decorations

I don't remember what the most extreme is but I know a lot of people go crazy with lights. I was driving to Washington the other day and I looked off to my right where all the houses are and one house in particular that you literally cant miss had their WHOLE house covered in lights. It was absolutely unnecessarily and I wonder what their electrical bill is like.
I also see a lot of people with those lights that go on houses with the dots or the moving pictures and I honestly hate those. I think they're dumb and a waste of money. I mean, if you have one so be it but I wont do that.
I do know that people in Texas like to decorate. Most wrap lights around the base of the trees.
I love Christmas, don't get me wrong but I don't think I want too many lights and decorations. I think my favorite decorations are like the greenery and garlands.

Week 14 I dont accept..

It’s another typical day here at Washburn. The bell just rang, and English is over, so I head over to my locker to switch my books. But wait…something’s not right...where’d this manila envelope come from? I'd received a top secret mission from…well, who? FBI? CIA? MIB? I opened it up and its this massive mission to defeat the idiotic president and take him down. I vaguely skim the writing and it was that we meet in St. Louis, get on a plane to Pennyslvania in a remote area where a secret base is and start heading for the White House. It said that we will start our chain of attacks and restore peace. I ripped the mission up and went on with my life.

Week 13 Family Traditions...

We don't have many family traditions other than to be with your family on the holidays. Sometimes for Easter, we make Cascarones, a Spanish word for confetti eggs, where you slam the eggs on a persons head. Its supposed to bring the person good luck. We would do them some years and others we wouldn't. I feel like, I'd make holiday traditions for my future family. Something really fun and to look forward to each year. Traditions where my family wants to invite their friends and whatnot. Not just confined to family all the time. I feel like bringing more families and friends together, can inspire other family traditions and brings a way happier time/ideas than dealing with Aunt Debby's attitude the whole thanksgiving. (I don't actually have an aunt named that lol)

Week 12 The best advice I've given..

I don't really know the worst advice people have given me. When I'm in need, all people really say is sorry. Or I don't know what to say, and I ask a lot of people/friends. I don't know if my situations are just too tricky for them to help or understand what I'm saying.
But often when I help people, I always tell people "Don't give up."
Not in the sense that if its meant to be, its meant to be. I don't believe in that. I do think things should come naturally and you shouldn't trick someone but sometimes you have to work for something you want. Not everything in this world is peaches and cream. If you just give up in life, you're walking on yourself. What? You want it and you're just gonna give up just like that? Then you obviously didn't want it that bad. You cant throw a pity party for yourself and expect things to be done for you all the time. Because, if you were in the "real world" without being able to run home to your parents, you'll be taken advantage of / walked over / looked down upon A LOT.
I still tell myself that to this day. It may not be something you think/believe but its something that's been pushing me to go on for about 4 years now.

Week 11 New Sport

I just invented a new sport. I call it running ball. You start off on a field with 8 markers, a 3x3 without the middle, about 25 feet apart. Then on each side there are 2 more markers making them the "goals" with basket of balls on that side. There are two teams that start off on opposite corners of the field. You start running in a circle and the goal is to get to your goal. You have 5 team members on each side. When the first man starts, he holds a ball in hand, then he starts running in the square around each marker when the gun goes off , once you get back to your corner after running one lap, you pass it off to the next person. Once you pass the other person, you can go straight to your goal. Once you're in the goal area, you have to throw a ball to the next person. They have to successfully catch the ball in order to start running. If they fail, you have to throw the ball again until they catch it. In this time, the other team running is considered passing you after they run around the markers once without the other team on the field, making it possible for them to throw a ball. Once all 5 players are in the goal area, you win. You better hope the last guy is a long distance guy because he'll be running until he passes the other person.

Week 10 Fight Night

A zombie, Frankenstein's hot mom, Michael Myers and Dracula fight to the bone for a chance to be called the victor. The bracket starts with Dracula and Zombie. 
Then Momma frankenstein and Myers. 
Then Myers and Zombie. 
Then Mom and Dracula. 
Then Zombie and Momma.
And Finally Myers and Dracula.

Dracula and Zombie start in the ring. Dracula goes for the fangy bite. Zombie is unaffected by it because, well, he's already dead. Zombie bites Dracula like monkey see monkey do. Dracula then turns into a Zombie. Zombie won!

Momma Frankenstein and Myers are up. Momma frankenstein just gives him a dirty look and says "BOY I KNOW YOU AINT ABOUT TO ATTACK ME!!!" Myers backs off and runs away. Momma wins!

Myers and Zombie is up. Myers, disturbed by the last fight it determined to win, chops off Zombies head and wins. 

Mom and Dracula is up. Mom takes one hard look and complains that Zombie is up. (Unaware that he turned into a zombie). She then proceeds to say she is the victor of that fight because thats not dracula. 

Zombie and momma is up. Mom wins because zombies head is on the ground. 

Myers and Dracula is up. Myers realizes that Dracula is a zombie and just proceeds to chop off Draculas head. Myers wins. 

The totals rack up to Dracula - 0 /// Myers - 2 /// Zombie - 1 /// Momma - 3

MOM FRANKENSTEIN IS THE VICTOR.

Week 9 Comet

I really recommend this movie if you're into romantic drama.

My all-time favorite movie is Comet. I remember the first time I watched this movie, I was talking to my crush while I was in a complicated relationship. I didn't have feelings for my boyfriend much after he cheated on me and didn't want to be with him. So as I talked to my crush, and he recommended me to watch Comet. (BTW, me and my boyfriend broke up soon after this because it was wrong for me to talk to someone I had feelings for and totally wrong for him to cheat on me (also my crush didn't have mutual feelings... or I think he didnt. I never knew. He knew I had a boyfriend and thought I was breaking up for my boyfriend for him but I wasn't so idk... It was a weird convo)) At this point in time, it was about 12am-1am. I was like HAAHAHHAHA OKAY because yanno he was my crush and you do stupid things that deal with your crush. He gave me the website to watch it on and I watched it. He told me he was going to bed and I got sad because I wanted him to talk to me as I was watching the movie that HE RECOMMENDED. I ended up finishing the movie at like 3am. Anyways, as I was watching the movie, I noticed that the movie reminded me of my past relationship with my crush. So I connected with it

Week 8 Dear child...

Dear Beloved Child,
I am your mother. I am writing this to you from the past. I want you to know that whatever you decide to be in life, you can be. Don't worry about the problems too much going on in the world or what society tells you to be. I wouldn't ever lie to you. You can always come to me for anything. I didn't always agree with the way my parents treated me so I'm not going to treat you that way. You are probably going to be my number one priority. You will be treated with love but also be disciplined. I'm not gonna be your best friend because I am your mother. That doesn't mean that we wont have good times and what not, but I will always be your mother and I will always love you for you. I wont try to change you into my perfect child. I brought you into this world forcefully, you can be who you want. You want to dig ditches? Well you dig the best ditch that you can and I will stand by your side and fully support you. Some things you should know about me... Growing up, I was always self conscious, I want to raise you to not be self conscious about yourself. But if you do, I will help you through it. You will be Hispanic and dont be ashamed of that. Be proud of who you will be and never regret your decisions because at some point, you thought that was the best decision you could make. I also never had a good relationship with my family, so if you wonder why you dont hear me talk a lot about our family, that's why. I also hope our relationship will be great but if it doesn't, I will try to make your life great, even if there's tension. You will also have to work for what you want. I'm not saying get a job at 13, but if you want some things in specific, you might need to work things off around the house or prove it to me in school grades and whatnot. I could write to you all day and make it pages upon pages, but for now I must go. I love you already and hope for the best. 

                                                                                                                                Love,                                                                                                                                                                                                            Mom

Week 7 12:06 am

The last thing I saw was my alarm clock flashing 12:07 before she pushed her long, rotting nails through my chest, her other hand muffling my screams. I sat bolt upright, relieved it was only a dream, but as I saw my alarm clock read 12:06, I heard my closet door creak open.I begin to wonder. Was this a dream or am I about to have a real dé·jà vu moment. I get out of my bed and grab the baseball bat that was underneath my bed. I glance at the clock again and it say 12:07. The closet door slams open and this rotten woman lunges for me. I hit her on the head with the baseball bat and down she goes. I hit her a couple more times to make sure she is knocked out and I call the police. Then I woke up and saw my alarm clock at 12:06, then my closet door creaked. I checked for my baseball bat and it was gone...

Week 6 Secrets

I would look up the secrets of the government. I want to know everything hidden. I think that it would be interesting to see if the public was right about what the government is hiding. I would also like to know all the secrets of other countries and what they're hiding. I think having this knowledge would be dangerous because like I spread it to everyone but I dont care, I always wanted to know. everything in the pentagon or area 51. I feel like I would find bomb plans and spaceship blueprints and secret locations and aliens galore. But all at the same time, I dont know if I would want to know all these secrets because I could be getting into something that I wouldn't want to be apart of or know.

Week 5 Doodling

So I have doodled on my papers before. I used to all the time when it was homework time because I cant focus very well in school. I used to write my boyfriend at the time's name down and draw hearts and stuff. I remember I got in trouble on time for it . They were like, write it on something else other than your homework. Then other times I would just draw the same thing over and over again all over the paper. I used to fill in the holes on letters. I used to shade the corners of the papers. I mean I still kind of do, just not as much anymore. If I'm really not having it, I'll draw doodles that kind of remind me of a computer board (as shown below-left). Other times, I'll find myself zentangling on a piece of paper (shown below as well-right). Today, I don't doodle as much unless I'm absolutely just bored or don't want to be at the place I am.            

Week 4 TV Shows are coming back!

I remember being excited about Pretty Little Liars. Every season I'd be so hype. Like IS "A" GOING TO BE REVEALED THIS SEASON?!?! Then they would claim that "A" would be revealed but then "A" was just someone helping or working with them either because they have to or they need to. By the end of the show, they truly revealed who "A" was and I had no idea who she was or how she really tied into the story. She wasn't really in the story too much and that made me not want to watch the show any more. I watched PLL since I was like 12/13 and just pretty much got disappointed. If they wanted it to be more shocking, I would have done one of the main characters. I would give PLL a 6/10. It was alright til that point. Maybe if they didnt say who "A" was I might've given them a 8/10.

Week 3 Excuses I've made...

I haven't made a lot of excuses to get out of things because I'd get in trouble for not doing the thing I didn't want to do, so I didn't bother too much with it. So I guess if I was a bad student and or lazy these would be the excuses I would use for my homework not being done...

1. I went to bed early
2. A family member went to the hospital till late last night
3. I forgot about it
4. I didn't want to do it
5. My pets sat on my homework, I couldn't move them
6. I spilled a bunch of water and food on it
7. I threw it away on accident with a bunch of other papers
8. You didn't give it to me/ Never got that
9. I didn't understand the homework
10. Couldn't find it

Week 2 What I see

If we look at the picture below, I can see a bunch of spiders and butterflies right off the bat. But if we look closely and I had to really make descriptions on some I'd say this

-The one 4 over and 4 down (middle) looks like a man sitting on a throne with a dark apparition/darkness or frog legs.
-The one 6 over and 4 down, looks like two men kissing, kinda like the dad off of powderpuff girls, especially with the pointed legs.
-The one 5 over and 6 down, looks like two aliens in a belly reflecting
-In a nonsexual way, the 3rd one over 3rd one down looks like a woman sitting on the ground spreading her legs with snakes a little below her shoulders.
-The 6th one over 3rd one down looks like a heart with alveoli from a lung inside it
-The 3rd one over, 6th one down looks like two fat biker dudes with antennas headbutting each other
-The 6th one over, 8th one down looks like the rabbit off of Alice in Wonderland reflected


I don't agree that what you see tells you the type of person you are. You could be taking this test at a bad time in your life and you could be marked as a depressing person and most days you're happy. It just doesn't seem like something you can judge someone off of because there are so many things you can see in one of these tests. For instance, what I see above could be completely different from someone else, does that make me different in a bad way or weird because none of mine are consistent?

Week 1 The reason I hate the first week of school already

Well, the first week of school has been hectic. I started out pretty decent with my classes in line for the year, then I get a phone call from my employer saying I have an interview at 2:30 pm for a job that I wanted/needed. Well, the thing was that I have to able to get to work by 2:30 pm, 4 days a week, every other weekend. I have school during that time because I don't get out early as a senior. Well, I ended up dropping one of my classes and changing two classes, one to an independent study and the other to Creative Writing. I want to have a pretty breezy senior year because senioritis will set in very quickly if I pile a lot on my plate. I'm not really glad to be back because I don't / won't get to see my boyfriend very often because he has school and work and I have school and work and our schedules seem pretty full now. I kinda just wanna cuddle up next to him with my cat and sleep for 93.854 hours. That'd be great. My most challenging class was Calculus but I dropped that for this job because I know I wouldn't be able to handle it independently. The easiest classes, I'd have to say is Advanced Advanced ADVANCED Art (I've taken it for 3 years) and I feel like Psych/Soc will be pretty easy, but it's hard telling right now. I'd have to say the class I'm looking forward to the most is 3x Advanced Art and Psych/soc because I LOVE art and creative writing. My one special goal for the year was to get valedictorian. I worked 3 hard years for it, but it all got shot down because I desperately needed this job and I didn't take Calc. At this point in time, I'm just looking forward to graduating and moving on. And honestly, not many people remember who was valedictorian of their class years later and since I already have over a 4.0, most colleges will accept me anyways in that part. I also took this job because I will have a lot more money that I EARNED independently to go to college than most in our class.
