Don't Multitask

My new computers motto. I'm thankful that I finally have my own laptop, although I'm back and using my mom's again. I'm also thankful for the offer from my stepdad's brother to work technological magic and make the computer run well. For right now I'm using two laptops. Mine to play the little music I've put on it and the one for typing this up. I've discovered trying to do more than one thing on my laptop doesn't work well. Earlier I was trying to listen to music and surf the web, this resulted to the music becoming completely choppy and sounding hilarious. The only problem I have now is that I can only plug in one computer at a time and my laptop lasts an hour without being plugged.



Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!! Can't wait for the New Year. Thinking about it, I can with the new year comes the due date for my English essay, I procrastinate to much an now only have a week left to write it.

The Storm Is Over

Now as long as the roads are mainly cleared I should survive. My last minute shopping shall be very last minute as in hopefully I can make it to the mall tomorrow. I may have to walk though since the roads are horrible. Yesterday's (seeing as it's after midnight) entertainment was vehicles unable to move. None of the roads have been cleared and although the main ones aren't horrible, the side streets are a mess. It will be days before the plows even hit my area because it is normally the last area to be cleared.
I'm just hoping that the snow won't ruin tonight's plans. The September sleepover already had to be cancelled, and the next isn't planned until after exams are over (unless we have an study session that runs late and no one wasn't to drive). Plus it's the Christmas sleepover. If we aren't able to get together for our gift exchange tomorrow we may have to wait until after Christmas is over and the excitement is gone.
That and how often can you stay up late with your friends watching Christmas movies. Once a year unless you have a random Christmas night in the middle of the summer. Either way I really don't want the plansto be cancelled due to the storm. That and rumor has it more snow is heading this way.

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if the school itself was close, but either way the buses weren't running so I didn't have to go to school today. The only problem is that I was hoping to get some Christmas shopping done today ad by the time I got up the snow had gotten pretty bad. I still have tomorrow to get the shopping for my friends done (though it may seem last minute I haven't had time to go yet) so I may have to wait until tomorrow. At least I have a plan as to what I wnt to get them which wll make my life a little easier.

Pile It On

It seems with Christmas Break coming up every teacher wants to get as much done as possible. They don't seem to consider the fact that few of us are able to deal with everything they give us. Reading for English isn't bad, although it may help if we actually knew when the poster for that class is due. Originally it was suppose to be last Friday but with all the reading we had to do as well as finishing our last literature circle, we were told the poster wasn't as important as finishing our novels, handing in the work we have done for it, the journals on our discussion time and our peer/self evaluations. So now we sit with our posters partly done since no one knows when it is due so it is falling to the bottom of the list.

In math my teacher decided that when was going to take this week to teacher us a chapter and give us an assignment o Friday (to be handed in at the end of class) although we spent to days just on the start of trigometric identities, and tomorrow is a shortened period with the mass, and supposedly we have a lengthened period six as well which cuts classes even shorter. That and Friday all of our classes are shortened for the Christmas Assembly.

In Peace and Politics my mark has finally gone up but the most annoying thing is that there is less than one month until the end of the semester and we still only have seventeen marks for the class. This means that every mark affects you grade. The highest mark in the class is an 89% which for a 12U class, that is low. Maybe for something like math it would make sense but for a class that most ue to pull up their average, its a religion class so all you should have to do is mak an opinion and write well, but the class can't seem to behave, the teacher gives us half notes then talks for the rest of class making it hard to learn. Plus we have an assignment that's due today, seeing as is after midnight, that sure may seem easy but the teachr wants us to make sure that we don't give the normal community service is good, it allowed me to help others, stuff that gets us the 90%-100% that boost our marks up since the 10 hours + the 2 page paper is normally 5%-10% of our final mark.

Sure this may be grade 12 but some teachers just take everything to the extreme especially since our schedules for classes are messed up this week and the fact that sometimes it may take until that day after Christmas break to finish the unit. Right now I'm ready to drop from all the work yet I can't unless I want to see my marks drop which can't happen since this year's marks are sent to universities and I need over an 80% average if I want to get into the basic program I want and that isn't including the co-op that I'm aiming for.

Question

This may really random, but I've been thinking a lot about book endings. Many were disappointed with the ending of Breaking Dawn since everything was settled peacefully. And many were happy with the end of Harry Potter with the huge fight.
So I've been thinking. Would people rather have a love story that ends with
1)the main character ending up with the guy she met at the beginning of the story
OR
2)the guy who she used to be friends with and dated for a little while, whose heart she broke.
The first guy she met after moving to a new school. He kisses her once and she can only compare it to the one guy she has kissed before so she thinks its amazing. They are good friends but nothing may come out of it if they don't want to.
The second guy is one whom she had gone out with a couple times but nothing amounted from it since she moved. He was in a band and after she moves she hears the band on a station that wants to play local talent (they still live in the same region, just apart and he has no clue where she is) play a song by his band. Throughout the entire song he whispers her name in the background (so heart breaking).
The final decision comes at prom night and she needs to choose.
So which you you perfer to read? And which one do you think is the more over used one?

Bored

I really shouldn't be seeing that I have so much work to do, yet I can't concentrate on it. It seems I work best when I'm avoiding other work. The only problem is that I have no other work to avoid. Sure I could be reading the rest of the stuff for English, maybe complete the questions, but I don't want to. Instead I planned on working on the scholarship again but it seems I can't, I distract myself with pointless stuff instead, like writing a post on how I'm not working on it.

I know the scholarship must be post marked by the 31st, and I am nearing the minumu amount, but it feels like I have so much more time than I actually do, especially since with Christmas coming up everything is about to get even busier.

I'm know fighting with myself just to stop from writing this post, but I really don't want to since it is something else for me to do. Maybe my better judgement will win and I'll get something done today...

Boys, Girls, Love and Crushes

I know most girls can look at a guy and say I'm not worthy of him. I may say that even though I know that there is no difference. I got this tree quote from Nire's fanfiction account, and she most likely found it else where.

-Girls
are like
apples on trees.
The best ones are
at the top of the tree.
The boys don’t want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree

Of course many people look at it and say it is an excuse, giving us who don't date, never been kissed, and whatnot a reason why they don't have a guy. If you ask me part of the problem is that guys normally go for looks first. Like most teens they think about living in the moment and forget about the future and the fact that people change as they grow up.

I'm lucky to have friends that think like me, cause if they didn't it would make life harder. Sure we're all different when it comes to experience with guys, but over all that means nothing. They don't look at me, look at the guy then say good luck he's out of your league. Instead they agree with me, try to figure out why I like the guy, and then bug me about it every chance they get.

Either way the biggest bet right now is that the guy will never find out about my crush. I claim one day someone will put two and two together. My friends claim I act no differently around him then any other time, but I point out that during spare I'll be quiet, yet other times during the day when I have class with some of the other guys on spare I talk quite normally, and most likely am not as red since I seem to blush easily.

The other bet is that someone will slip the nickname out in front of him. You know those little code names so guys can't tell who your talking about. The only problem is now if we are talking about him, during the long msn conversations in which Maxine, Nire and I bug each other about the crushes, we are constantly using the code name even though no one else will see what we type. It has nearly reached the point where it is more like his name than his real name.

My number one question for myself right now is: confess or not? I'm not so worried about getting hurt, but rather just knowning that I've been turned down. I know I'm not the 'normal' girl that every guy looks for, but sometimes guys need to learn that a little off center can be a good thing. Who knows I may confess before graduation or wait until it hopefully fades out and gets replaced/
