boy magnet?

It's a sad day when your 12 year old sister tells you 3 boys asked her out today.
It's even more sad that she told me not to worry that now she will have had a boyfriend before me, it doesn't count in grade 7 anyway..
thanks dude, that makes me feel better.

ELLE OH ELLE

We're all just people!

Last night, instead of going to bed at 1:00am like a normal person, I thought watching our grad dvd was a good idea. What an emotional roller coaster that was! I laughed, I cried (almost), but I mostly felt a twinge of loneliness. I actually miss everyone. Of course I miss seeing you guys everyday more than most people, but looking back I can honestly say there is not one face that I don't miss seeing. I know it's weird because how often did I complain about almost everyone, but it made me realize that we're all just people. Tell me if I'm nuts because obviously we're all just people but I don't know, watching it just made something click that i can't quite put my finger on. I think we're all more alike than I ever realized and it makes me feel bad. I feel bad for not so much judging people, well I guess it was judging, but already having opinions about people without having ever talked to them. Over the summer, I actually met and talked to a lot of the people I had thought were annoying, or were cows and unfriendly, and realized I was completely wrong. The thought that maybe some of these people were shy never crossed my mind. Now that it's September, and we're not all back together at high school is really weird to me. We really did have a great grad class, and I miss seeing those familiar faces throughout the hallways. Don't get me wrong, I am liking college, it's just different. I know I'm going to learn to love it, but I think there is always going to be that part of me that misses high school!

WOO!

So here I am, the first english class of college and my teacher asks us to pull out paper and a pen because we had 20 minutes to write an essay. I am panicking about how I'm supposed to write a whole essay about how academic writing is beneficial to whatever my future job may be  in 20 minutes, but to make matters worse she adds that this essay is worth marks. Let me tell you, I wrote like a mad woman! I used every minute, right down to the last 10 seconds. Yes, she had a countdown. When time is up, I'm freaking out because I totally thought I went off topic. I was positive I had failed my very first assignment. BUT, to my surprise, when the essays were handed back today, I got 4/5! That 80% people! I got 80% on my first essay! She also wrote some nice comments! I was so excited!! Great start to english :)
