Gettin beat up again...

I have had such a busy week/weekend! I can't wait until a time when I can just relax.... May maybe. Ha! That sounds funny! May...... maybe. Hehe. Sorry I'm reaaaaaly tired. Update on the math thing... probably a no-go because I have been doing really bad on all my assignments because I hate using word. I could explain my entire life in numbers, but no, they require words in math class. Shoot. My purpose of life is over. Anyway, I have been reading other blogs that are so funny, and sitting there in math class trying not to laugh at the most hilarious things these people are saying and I had a lightbulb turn on.... I should write like that! So, here is my attempt at trying to make you laugh.

I had a basketball tournement this weekend. It was basically like zones, right? So we are competing against school smaller than us, but you know we lost all our good players (well, not ALL of them...) so we kind of suck. Anyway, it was the last game of the night (our 3rd game that day) and it was really late and we were playing for the gold. I had 4 fouls, right and 5 you get kick out of the game I'm kind of an obnoxious person. Now, the rule is, if your feet are planted and someone hits you, its their foul, but if you move your feet, it's your foul. Now, I'm point guard on my team. It's my responsiblity to step up to the plate and stop the ball, right? Well, I tried. This girl was sprinting down the court with the ball and I stopped right in front of her and KABAM I hit the floor. Ouch. That hurt. I truly didn't want to get up, just lay there and die. It hurt so much, being thrown through the air and slammed down. I've been trying to gain weight so I don't get bounced around so much, but even 10lbs more still gets me bounced like a bouncy ball. ok that was my attempt at being funny. Oh well I tried.

Ok, that was so not funny, let me try again.

So, I couple weeks ago, Rosanne and I went skating. And there was this guy there... =P He was kind of old, like late 20's I think, and not the cutest button on a shirt but... keep reading. Anyway, I was watching him watching Rosanne (does that make me creepy) as she was figure skating around everywhere. Then we stopped for a break and he came up and was like "can you teach me any easy figure skating move" and she was just like "I'm not a very good teacher" and left it at that. Now, the enitre time in my head I'm going Ok, either he is gay or trying to hit on her.... he's asking her to teach him Figure Skating moves! So, later, I was so tired so I quit early and was taking off my skate. Sure enough, I hear here laughing and look up an she's talking to this guy. Cute, eh? She just keeps saying "What? I like making new friends". But she doesn't know his name. Hehe funny! Appherently, he used to go to the same school as us, and kept asking stuff like "Is that old fag of an English teacher still there?"

I'M FREEEEEEEE =D

Ok so this could very well be my last post in math class... I know, sad isn't it? I wil have to find some other time in my day to acknowledge the world of the internet, and bore you all to death with events in my life. I have been reading other blogs lately and have been really enjoying them. Just like random blogs I have found on the internet. I wish my blog was more exciting, I get bored reading it myself! I know, today is Friday and I should to random facts, but, maybe later. Oh oh oh right my big news! Why I won't be blogging in math any more! Ok, it all started in Grade 6, when my math teacher let us go at our own speed, so by the end of the year I was doing grade 9 math. So, all these years I have been politely listening in class and been bored out of my skull. Now, my mother and I have been listening to them say "Well next year you can..." or "In the future we hope" and yada yada yada. So this year we went to my math teacher and said "There is a second semester band class that is at the same time as math and I would like to go learn saxaphone" and guess what? They said ok! So now, I am only going to be in math twice a week and will just do the rest as an independant study! Amazing, right? But then I have no time to blog... not that I have been doing that anyway. But for me, this is really, really exciting news. Now, for my daily news. I have a basketball tournement this weekend, so today I get to drive 2 hours there and back to play one game and two tomorrow. Nasty, especially since we don't have all our players AND I'M STILL SICK!!! Like, if I move my head to fast I get dizzy. Plus congestion. So basically, basketball is going to be challendging. Now, I would do fun fact friday, but I'm quite sick and tired and bored so I am going to be lazy and not. Until next time, JEN OUT! (Oh btw my piano teacher's husbands new nickname for me is the JENerator.... HAHAHA I LOVE IT!!!)

Wednesdays.... aka Hump Day

I really don't like Wednesdays. They are the longest day of the week. Not to mention the fact that they are in the middle, farthest away from the weekend. But my personal Wednesday's are the worst. As you probably guessed, today is Wednesday and I am in math class (yet again). I start my day at like 6:30 in the morning because I have morning band. Today is espicially bad, because I'm looking at how long my day is going to be and how little sleep I got and how much I wish I had grabbed a coffee this morning and realize I'm having a bad day and it's only 8:45 in the morning! Geez! Today is one of those days that doesn't stop, because after school I have an out of town basketball game and then after that I have a piano lesson. So my day is over 12 hours of stuff I have to do. And that doesn't include all the homework and practicing I need to do! I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

     So, I think I need to post about something I like, because the last however many posts have been about things I hate. So, remember my post about uniqueness? Well, now I've been trying to pick out people that are unique. Like there is this girl in my school who plays basketball on the JV team, and automatically I picked her out of a crowd. How cool is that? I totally wish I could be like that. I haven't really figured out how yet. I have been reading this Christan book and it's talking about how to Really Live. It says all this stuff about having to surrender yourself to God, and let him take over. But, I'm kind of scared to do that. I need control, and I'm worried if I just let that all go, it might not come back. I don't know, I have to put a little more thought into it. But I can't now, I have too much to do. Maybe that's what the book means by letting him take over. Geez, life is so complicated! I have so much to do, but not enough time in a day. Eventually, I will recover and will be back to normal with all my happy and carefree posts. But, the bell is about to ring to dismiss math class. Don't worry, I actually did my work.

Countdown

Can I make a post in 10min? I think so =P Ok, so yesterday I score kept my first basketball game. I discovered I am extremely bad at it. Everyone kept yelling at me to start the clock or give the team points or something confusing like that. Geez! It's way to much work. Why was I score keeping you ask? Well, the middle school took our gym when we were suppose to practice, so I just stayed and watched anyway. What else? They took some of our players! They claimed they didn't have enough (personally I think 8 is enough) and so they took the Grade 8's that had moved up to our team. But only two of them, which was really rude, since there are 3 on our team. But, one of those players is like super amazing right? So, she was only allowed to pass, from what I heard. I think, that the problem was the coach didn't want to lose, so she needed back-up. Aka our players. So they won 58-6 or something like that. I was making fun of the coach (behind her back of course) because she was wearing high heel shoes! I mean, she was fricken coaching basketball in 2 inch heels! So everytime she walked by I would say "click click click click" yeah... well math class is almost over, I better get going. Not bad for like 6min eh?

Fat or Skinny?

 

Ok, I have just realized my last 2-3 posts have all been written during math class. Whoops! But it's too tempting being done all my work sitting in front of a computer.... Anyway so this post is going to be about weight. Now, I'm a highschool girl so I am well informed about the subject. Don't freak out, I'm not worried about it, but I know for lots of people it's really stressful. It really irritates me when people think they're fat. My super skinny friend (I swear she's some kind of experiment, because she is in love with food!) is always talking about how fat she is, or does this make me look fat? or stuff like that. It's a really bad habit, because then people around her who weigh over 80 lbs feel self-concious. But there is so much media out there, and pictures of super skinny, unhealthy girls that have depression problems and all this other bad stuff I hate it! As Sheldon claims, in some ancient cultures fat women used to be considered attractive because they produced better offspring.... now, I know what healthy and unhealthy are. I will not be jealous of someone just because they puke 3 times a day or "forget" to eat! Disgusting. Now, I will save my rant on fat people for another day.... (just kidding!) But I think weightloss is disgusting in general. Unless you are truely "overweight", they you should not be trying to get skinnier. So what if you are 6 feet tall, so you weigh more than most people, but it's obvious that that will happen. I also really hate when people claim they are fat for attention. Really hate! I just want to say something like Sure, Sure, I agree. or  If you think so darling.  Ok, so now I'm done ranting. Boy, I do rant alot!

     Ok, I'm just going to put in my experience. So, yesterday, I had 2 hours of gym option (i.e. 2 hours of cardio room and weight room) and then basketball, (so much fun, because there were only 4 of us, so I was trying to play defence on our coach... hehe) so I was exhausted. So guess what I did? I went home and ate and ate and ate. Why? I couldn't help it! I was so hungry, and no matter what I ate (fruit, toast, chips, candy) I just couldn't get full! So, I have to go now, my math teacher is trying to convince me to go on a math website.... Blah. Adios!

Ahhh, February?

My first post in February... yay!!! So, I'm going to start off by saying how much I hate February. First of all, we only get one school day off and that's Family Day (President's Day if you live in the US =) which.... sucks. Next, it's so cold up here in Canada and there is so much snow and to add to that the ground-hog didn't see his shadow.... I think that means spring will be late. Great. Then, why does February only have 28 days? Just to mess with our heads I guess. You know, I think, if any, the month with the shortest days should be last or first. Like, who got to decide that it would be the second month? And then, there is the whole leap year thing. My first complaint is it make the song very long (Thirty days has September, April, June, and November. All the rest have thirty-one Except for February which has 28 but in a leap year 29!!!!) I didn't learn that until last year... hehe. So, I am going to conclude my rant with the statment that I am mad at February because, all the first born women in my family are born on the 13th of the month. Don't ask me why that happens, cause I don't know. But, guess why I'm not? BECAUSE IT WAS A DAMN LEAP YEAR!!! So I was born on the 12th =( because there was an extra day in the year. So, now I'm the odd ball, not on the 13th..... It's so saddening!!!

     Now, to get off the month topic.... want to hear about my day? No, but I will tell you anyway. The only really "new" part of my day was since we switch semesters, we have new classes right? And on Thursdays, our school is screwed up and changes the timestable to create "wacky Thursdays" which we have 3 classes in the morning and only one after lunch, instead of 2 and 2. And the last class is longer.... and guess what class I had for 2 hours? Gym option (basically, one of the option classes, but it was either this or crafts....) Now, don't get me wrong, I love gym, but we started out in a classroom going over expectations and such, then did 40 min in the cardio room, then stretched, and then did some *insert big word here* excersizes (stationary, so like the plank and squat and stuff) then over to the weight room. Now, I thought there was going to be more, let's say, sport type stuff, but it turns out we are in the weight room every Monday, and possible about half the time on Thursdays. Now, that's great because then I will get all strong... (haha I'm the most petite girl in the class.... such a weakling)  but, on Monday's and Thursday's I have basketball too. And plus, I have regular gym as well, so I have gym class every day and twice on Friday's. AND I have curling... too much!!! I am going to be ripped by the time "February" is over.... and some people think I'm nerdy =P

I'm Trying!!!

     I'm kind of lost right now. I keep going in circles because I haven't really discovered which way is out. I can't figure out whether or not I really have choices anymore. Lately, I have been really worried about the far future (what else means the opposite of "near future"?). I think, or at least I hope, that I am just at that age where I can really decide who I am. I used to KNOW that I loved to learn and be the super nerd and get 90's all the time, but now I'm not really sure. It's exam time, and I have been spending hours studying, but is that really what I want? I could be working so I could afford to send money for kids starving in Africa or I could be writing music or I could be hanging out with my friends. I finally have choices, and I don't know what to do. I finally have the chance to make a difference, and I have the choice to choose not too. It's so hard! Like, I have been saying forever I want to volunteer at the hospital and play piano at seniors homes but did I take the initiative? No, I decided to play volleyball and basketball. But those things keep me healthy and skinney and socialized. See? It's like a circle. Or, I could do everything and stress out and fall in a rut and get depressed and drop everything to climb back out. And then start my life over. I don't know. I just don't know anymore.

     I'm taking this music course called Harmony. It's like intense musical study, and it's so hard and dull. Now, I have never had work that is hard for me. Like, I've had trouble, but nothing like this. I don't get it? It's so frusterating. It's pulling my whole mood down. That and the fact that it's January and I am pretty sure I have a touch of SAD (seasonal affective disorder). Now, I have always complained about school being to easy, but this is like the extreme other side. Anyway, I better sign off and get back to studying. I will post some happyier posts when exams are done. Night.

Randomness!!!

OK I sincerely apologize for not writing lately but the thing is, I haven't gotten any good ideas (when I'm within range of the computer that is...) and I think that if I don't have any good ideas, then people won't read it..... =/  But I have discovered that the more I post, the more people read it.... Lol imagine that. So, this is going to be just about the life I actually have, besides being the computer loner that just sits here and writes all day. I haven't decided whether or not to start actually GIVING out my blog yet. All my friends know and it's on my Facebook account and stuff, but what happens to the people that would probably enjoy reading it? At this point, they don't. How would I tell them? I think I should send it out to all my relative, and I know that sounds totally geeky but they probably would like to know what's up in my world.... urgh speaking of my world I'm a little bit stressed right now. It's like, I want to do stuff but I can't because other stuff gets in the way, but then that other stuff gets changed and completely screws me up. Yep, that's the story of my life. Well my current form of stress is just school in general. Being the first week back (what? it's not over yet?) is probably messing me up a bit.... or just everything in general. Yeah, this blog is  getting kind of pointless.... um think Jen think! You need a better idea..... damn. I'm brain dead today. I have to do a social project about star constellations and legends and stuff, and then I get to make up a legend about them! That's going to be fun. Anyway, I better sign off now. I have homework + basketball + harmony tonight....  Later, my friends!

Basketball!

Ok so we  had our first basketball game today! But in order to talk about it I have to explain the standings to you. I started playing last year as a newbie on a Grade 7/8 team and I had no confidence what so ever and passed the ball the first chance I got ;P. This year, I was all pumped because it was suppose to be just a grade 9 team, so there was bound to be another newbie.... so I wouldn't be bottom of the heap again. But there was like 5 grade 11 who didn't try out and messed the whole system up! There wasn't enough for a senior team so they took 5 grade 10's and then they didn't have enough for a JV team so they took 5 Grade 9's.... so basically we lost our 5 best players. Then at our tryouts, if you walked on the court you were on the team. I convince one of my friends, and now she might hate me... and other than that, we get a team of the non-committed, injured, and newbies. Oh and plus we took the Grade 8's three best players.... So I'm point guard. I went from "Don't pass to me, I'm scared of the ball" to "Look, I'm captain of the team, I'm open!" -_- yeah.... well. But, get ready for it... I SCORED THE FIRST THREE BASKETS!!! *extreme happy dance leading into jumping on the desk and hitting my head on the ceiling* So, basically, I just typed that whole thing to explain that confidence is one of the most important things you can give yourself. And it doesn't just apply to sports. Saying your going to fail (cough, cough) a test while your trying to study is probably a bad idea. Because inside your head, your brain isn't really retaining the information because it's busy worrying about failing. Yep, that's what I think. Oh yeah, and even though I didn't say this last time, but part of my resolution was to blog more. And that ended on January 3rd.... NEW RECORD!!! LONGEST KEPT NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION IN HISTORY!!!! haha just kidding unless history only applies to my life then it's true. Now I'm going to still the most dorkyest saying from my friend "later, people of the interwebs!"



This is me (Arrow pointing up) 



Oh and btw good job all my fine ladies, and I didn't really mean what I said up there. Just me ranting. Again. *blushing* It just feels like that sometime.... And if this was an answering machine message it would end with.....

Feel free to leave your insult, at the tone. *BEEP*
