This last month was one of the worst times of my life.  This last month was one of the worst times of my life  it has been nothing but stress.  From school, work, college work,  my cat being injured,  my grandmother falling in going to the hospital,  my uncle having severe throat cancer,  and anything else that I can't mention  has made me emotionally and physically exhausted.  I didn't even have time to do my vision project, nor catch up on my blog posts.  Didn't even have time to do my vision project, nor catch up on my blog post  I don't even care though.

My favorite project that we did in class was the song analysis project.  I liked it because I got to showcase my favorite song in a way that I never thought about before.  I never thought of the greater meaning of songs in general until this project.  The project that I liked the least was the personal narrative.  Although it was all about yourself,  I did not get a good enough feedback to fix my paper thus giving me a really bad score.  That is the project that I'm gonna do my revision on.

 This year, I learned a lot about sentence structure. In my high school classes, we focused a lot more on content,  but not exactly how we write things.  This class taught me that I use way more punctuation then I should.  I wish I got to work more on creative writing.  The personal narrative was creative because you got to  make up a story and tell it the way that you want to,  but for the most part it covered strict guidelines as to how far you can go in the story and what to say.  I think that's why I like the song analysis because you get to choose what song and how you present it.

Today was a very weird day. First of all, I stayed home all day until work because I thought that my mom took the van to the doctors, but in reality it was here the whole time. I felt really bad considering all I've been eating lately is fast food because of how convenient it is, so my stomach hurt really bad this morning. So, I got to work and even though I got a lot of my stuff done early, I had to make some twists, longjohns, rings, and shells to fill stuff with. I have never done any of those before but I think I did really well. My longjohns were very big and not skinny because some people make them like that and it's annoying. I usually don't get done making my cake donuts until about 8 o'clock but I got done at seven today, so I think I did a really good job given my circumstances.

A word that I find offensive, but not towards me, is the word "ghetto." In all honesty,  The word itself doesn't really bother me, but wanted to use towards my school I get very angry. I'm tired of people from different schools asking me if Battle Creek Central is really "ghetto." I always reply with; "it's not that bad," meaning that there are a couple people who fit that description but the school itself is not. Our staff is so amazing and has helped us achieve many goals, including one of my best friends getting accepted into an Ivy League school (Cornell University). I am usually open-minded, and I don't get offended easily, but I would honestly not go to any other school. The fact of the matter is, centrals actually really a great school, and people it down on us still to this day. The silent March that we had a couple years ago was supposed to try and stop this rumor, but it hasn't really stopped anything. We are the home for a lot of underprivileged children, but that doesn't make us "ghetto."

Have you ever felt so tired that you feel like you haven't really made any sense? Or to the point where you're so tired and sluggish? That's how I was all day today. I don't know why, but I hate feeling this way. I was at work and I kept stuttering, messing up my words, and just not really understanding anything that was being told to me. I felt as though I was a newborn puppy, or that I just randomly became brain-dead. I don't even know why my brain is acting like this...

So last night, my power went out because a driver hit a power pole. Over 2,000 houses were gone without power last night around 10:30, and I unfortunately was one of those houses. I went to school from 10AM to 3PM, and then went to work where we had a 500 donut order plus another 144 order added to what we normally do. So, at this point I was already fed up and got out of work late. I end up getting home at about 10:30 and we pull in the driveway and see electricity flow across the power lines and the entire block of lights went off. Although it was kinda cool, we had no power. We drove to investigate and it was a couple blocks down on Capital Ave by the Pizza Hut. We didn't get it back till about 4 this morning which is why this blog post is late! From my long day I work up at 10..

Sometimes, I feel like a stress myself out to the point of no return. But also, sometimes, I am very careless about certain things. For example, I've been sleeping in lately and missing my high school classes, and I freaked out about them. However, I went to math three times in the past two weeks and I still got 100% on my quiz. It is AP calculus, which is basically a house I will calculus class taught for highschooler's. If I take the AP test, and I pass it, then I get college credit for that calculus class. It's kind of validating to catch up and one day and know that you haven't really missed anything, but that's not like that with any of my other classes for some reason. And my friends at class, I was supposed to perform last week, but I have not been there since last Monday. I've been waking up lately at 10, which is when that class is. I have him for another class, which is an English class about zombies and things of that nature, and so sometimes I don't want to go to school on those days because then he'll ask me why I didn't come to his other class. That stresses me out more than anything, because I didn't really want that class, but then he can see that I dropped it and I have a lot more respect for him than to just quit. I have a lot of homework and all my classes and sometimes I can't keep up. I put the singles class before anything else because in reality it's more important than any of the other ones. Yes, I still need to graduate high school, but this class is more of a preparation for what I'm going to be going into.
