 It’s FRIDAYYY. No more testing for me. I can’t believe we have two more weeks left of school.. Then I’ll be a senior. Not only that, but I’ll be say bye bye to my senior friends.  I’m going to miss them so much.  I just can’t believe that I’m where I’m at… Anyways, today was a smooth day for me.  In first period, I decided that I was going to help some art students paint the giant mural at the front of our school. It was nice and peaceful. It showed me that painting might be something that I actually enjoy. The rest of the day was pretty chill. I got to joke around with my friends while we had cree time since we finished our AP tests. I decided to use that time to try and knock out some old assignments in my feeble attempt to do whatever I can to bring my grade up. AP stats is the only class I’m not doing well in but I’m confident that I’ll get myself together. One day I’ll learn to lock in and not wait until the very end of the year to have a decent grade in that class.

 I had my AP Stats test today and lord have mercy.  That test was like three hours. Is that not insane??  We started at noon and didn’t get out until 3:45! School ends at 3:10 and I had practice at 3:30. I was stuck testing for three hours. And I don’t understand stats at all so I was fluffing my way through the entire test.  The multiple choice was one thing because I didn’t have to explain my answers but the constructed response was a whole other thing.  In the constructed response, obviously, we have to explain how we got our answers. My teacher told me that no matter what, never leave my answers blank.  You wouldn’t believe how I would answer a question I had no idea how to solve.  There would be a question that was ask me to solve something and show my work. My answer would be along the lines of “this can be solved by doing these steps” or “the solution to this is shown in the passage/table above”. I mean I had NO CLUE. Then, I couldn’t even finish my last question because there w

 I actually put on a nice outfit today. I got a lot of unexpected compliments considering the fact that I was rushing and nearly missed my bus.  I’m not sure of exactly what happens between the times of 6:25 a.m to 7:23 a.m but that time seems to fly. It’s almost an hour and I still can’t seem to get done what I need to in that amount of time. I know I have poor time management but it’s getting ridiculous. There was no volleyball practice today because our coach decided that yesterday would be the end of tryouts. I still decided to stay after school because going home is boring.  I stayed until six p.m. When I got home, I took a nap, did work, cooked, and got ready for school. Testing is tomorrow and i’m kind of nervous.

 It was a bum day today. It was also sort of boring. We’ve been testing for awhile. My AP test is on Thursday and I’m honestly nervous. I’m not nervous because it’s AP but because its Statistics. I haven’t understood a thing in that class.  Today is also the second day of tryouts.  Volleyball is pretty fun. It’s not that hard but I have things I need to work on in that area.  After I finished practice I met some friends by the football field because there was a game at our school. I don’t know the details or the purpose behind it but I do know that our boys played against each other. Nothing else worth mentioning happened later.

 Today, I came to school late because I just got home from Florida. I was in Florida because my grandpa passed away last week.  I cried a tiny bit at the funeral but I’m okay. I got to see my younger cousin who I haven’t seen in around five years.  Instead of flying, we drove. It was like a six hour drive and we didn’t get home until two in the morning. I didn’t wake until eight thirty and then got to school. Today was also the first day of volleyball tryouts so I’ll be going to that.
