What Has Been Happening Lately

Alright, finally all caught up. So, I'll talk about what's been happening lately. (I already explained some about what's happening earlier, so consider this a recap) The ACT was stressful. And I knew my grandfather was going to die. I wasn't surprised when my mom came and told me. Not at all. I barely shed a tear, no more than one, because i barely knew him. Sometimes I feel bad for not crying or being sad when my relatives die. I just don't know any of them really well.....Anyway, I am dying to go see The Last Song whenever it comes to the nearest theater. I can't wait to see my friends graduate in the two high school graduations I'm going to.....though I will probably cry. I wish I was going to church tomorrow, but my mom isn't feeling up to it. I think it's going to be weird to see my brother at his junior high graduation. It's getting much easier for me to talk to guys, thank goodness. Maybe the curse of being shy is ending. I was in Driver's Ed for 2 and a half weeks....then I got pulled from the class cause my dad didn't know Kelby was going to drive. That day was awesome though. Me, him, and Rheanna drove from the school to Sonic (Yum) and then I drove from Wal-Mart back to school! It was an awesome day. My school went to Columbia State Community College in Columbia, TN to compete in a bunch of different things. Six went for Spanish, three for Essay, and one for History. Only two won anything, and that was in the basic Spanish competition. Meagan placed second......AND I WON! My medal has first place on the back and everything. It'll probably be in the newspaper this Wednesday. =) I entered a poetry contest and didn't win. =( I let my English teacher at school read all four of my books and she said they were very good. =D I've now written 190 poems. And I just finished my 5th book on Thursday. It's called 'All Kinds Of Love'. And I've already begun a new one, titled, 'The Magic Jacket'. I cried on the way home on the bus on Friday. It was a terrible day. First, at lunch I found out someone likes the same guy as me, though she's so not good enough for him. If she actually thinks he won't see right through her, then she has got a shock coming. That same girl was one of the reasons I cried on the bus later that day. She and five other girls who I came home and told my mom I wanted to brutally murder. Basically, what happened was, they were making fun of someone, calling her names, like, 'Skank' and 'Vampire B'.(Because she's a twilight fan, but so are they. am i the only one who sees how retarded this is?) Anyway, they were so cruel, and the reason they claimed their comments as justified was that they didn't like the way she looked at them. THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY SHE LOOKED AT THEM! How the heck are these girls (Two tenth graders, one ninth grader, two eighth graders, and one seventh grader), all but one younger than me, going to survive in the real world? And I'M the weird sheltered one who doesn't understand the way the world works?!?!? Seriously? So, within minutes, I moved from the back of the bus to the front, away from those evil girls. And I cried. I cried because I couldn't believe the cruelty, the immaturity. And because I felt the insults as if they were directed at me because I know and have known exactly how it feels for, say, my whole life! I do not understand how people like that can live with themselves. I know I couldn't. And I am in no way trying to imply that I think of myself as perfect. I just know what they did and what they do is wrong....and nothing will ever change that.
