I feel very on-track now. Like I am ready for what is coming up ahead of me. I've decided what I need for school, what I need to get done, and how I am going to get it done. There is no reason for me not to be prepared. It's not like last year or the year before when I felt all jittery and unprepared for what I had to take on. I am ready, for once. I am ready for the work, and I'm going to dive right in and get it done. This year is the year I stop procrastinating and get things done when they are assigned, rather than the night before. If I need help, I'm going to get it right away, instead of wating and wasting time when I could be learning. I just hope I don't burn myself out. Oh, I hope not. There's still a lot of other things I want to do, besides school. Yeah.
My sister is so aggravating, as if I haven't mentioned it before. We have been to hell and back trying to get clothes for her stupid uniform for school. Everything she has to wear, she doesn't like. I think we've been to at least ten different stores to try to find some "regulation" clothes. Well, today we were in A&F, looking for the coat that I wanted. She saw a polo shirt that she liked, and decided that she just HAD to have it. Mind you, it looked exactly like every other stupid polo shirt that we've seen, except this very special one had the A&F logo on the sleeve. Thirty dollars. Thirty bucks for a stupid shirt. I mean, I could see if it was a shirt that you couldn't get anywhere else, but it looked exactly like all of the other polo shirts we've seen. I was going to shoot myself. My mom let her get it though, just to appease her seething anger over having to wear a uniform for a while. It makes me mad, as my mother was all in favor of having my sister wear a uniform, and now she finds it to be a bad idea, and is trying to bend the rules with my sister. I am so glad I don't go to that school anymore. I am going to put my sister up for sale soon if she doesn't cut it out. She talks to me like I am her dog or something, and I am sick of it. Argh! I was never like that when I was twelve!
I was looking at the books I have to read for school. The ones for AP English are so old. One of them hasn't been taken out of the school library since 1985. I was only a year old then. I guess they really had to dig up some books. Stupid welfare school. The least they could do was buy some new books. But I'm not complaining. Most of my books from the past two years were new. I think they are painting the school this summer. This should be interesting. Personally, along with the paint, they should redo the floors, fix the science labs, and get some bigger lockers. But that's just my personal opinion. I left a whole bunch of stuff in my locker, like my calender, and some other assorted items. I guess I will have to find out when I go back on September sixth.
