Hello. I'm really the only one who goes on this, which is fine by me. I shall log everything that has happened recently for myself. It's been a heck of a month.

So first, I had my birthday on the 14th. I am now 14! Muahahaha. Until now, I've been known as the youngest one in our not-so-little friends circle. I found out that there's a guy whose birthday is in, like, July...so yeah. I'm older than someone! Woot!

Um, second, we're graduating in five days (including today)! Graduation is on Tuesday (if you didn't feel like counting). It's kind of creepy. To me, it feels like we've got another month of school to go, but we've only got one more day of actual classes. One day of fun. And one day of graduating. WAH. CREEPY.

We had step up day last friday. Step Up day is when we visit the high school, and get a tour. Though it wasn't really a tour. More like, a series of stations in various rooms. And in each room, we recieve a different lecture. Except in the cafeteria. We ste there. They have the same food as we do at the middle school. However, they have more stuff. Like french fries! WHICH ARE DELICIOUS.

And today, in Spanish, we basically had a party. So (it's actually kind of funny) our teacher lets us come in, like normal, and we sort of talk while we wait for everyone to show up. And somehow the topic of a pop quiz comes up. I think it was started by our teacher. We all thought she was kidding. Anyway, she takes attendance and stuff, and then she goes, "Okay, you've got five minutes to study for the pop quiz." And me and my friend and a bunch of people around us went, "Shoot". So I started counting off with the person sitting next to me, and my other friend, the one who I'm older than, says, "She's kidding. She's not actually giving us the test." And I was like, "Eh" because this particular teacher is really serious when she wants to be and so I actually thought that we were gonna have a pop quiz. Actually, at first I didn't, but after she told us that we had five minutes to study, I did believe her. So she goes, "okay, clear your desks for the quiz", and then she gives these papers to a student on the side, and they hand back sheets of paper that are actually our progress reports. And then our teacher turned on, like, a Spanish rap CD. And then out of nowhere, Hawaiian punch and Fresca and cookies and munchkins and crackers and Guava paste come out of nowhere. So then we ate and signed yearbooks for the rest of the period.

Yeah, that sounds stupid, the way that I describe it, but it was actually really funny.

Um. And then. Sad stuff.

So my friend's mom died. She had cancer (her mom did). And I didn't know this until, like, Monday. It came as a pretty big shock. Our grade was pretty nice about it though. A card went around the 8th grade hallway today, and a lot of people signed it. Some signatures were actually really lame, as if they were signing a yearbook. "Have a good summer!" Other people were lame because they just signed their names. Although, I guess I can understand this. If they weren't friends with her, maybe they wouldn't know what to say? In any case, they could've just said, "My condolensces" (I think I spelled that wrong) or something. But I guess not. Anyway, earlier today a few friends and I went to the wake. We gave her the card while we were there.

A lot has been on my mind lately. It's not just the things included here. I've also got high school life on the mind. I'm also taking a trip to Singapore/China this summer,and we're leaving next friday. Which is exciting.

And then all the things I already mentioned, except for the Spanish class party thing. That was just fun.

Which is why I finally blogged. I think I have to accept that I am never going to be able to update this once a week. I mean really. I don't think I have that much drive. And if I, in fact, do, I would probably use it for something else.

I don't know. I think I need to like, either spend a few hours alone or with a few friends. Maybe both.

Eh, almost summer. I'll get there.

Song for the...however long until I blog/update next:
