I just opened up my first semester Report Card & I have to admit I am disappointed in myself. I let myself down. But I am not going to give up. I am going to get back up and bust my butt off this coming up semester. I am going to change that disappointment into being proud of myself & I am not going to let anyone get in my way of that. I am going to start a new chapter in my life cause I've been in this one for way to long. 2017 is going to be my year, the year I start to get my life together.

Emerson For The Young Buck
     In Self Reliance Emerson is telling us that we need to be our own person. We gotta do we want to do and not caring what others think. We don't have to fit in with the rest of the crowd you can just be you, be unique.

Emerson Said It
"Ne te quaesiveris extra" This quote is practically saying that you shouldn't care what others think and just do you
"Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string." you should trust yourself because you're a strong person
"The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs" You want to be the same as everyone else, you wanna have what everyone else has.
 "But these impulses may be from below, not from above." You may think that your impulses are good but in reality they're actually bad. So as a Christian would say, its work of the devil.
"A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace" Being proud of the work you have done an not being ashamed of it because you worked hard on it.

Author in Progress

      As I did my Emerson writing I noticed that I need a whole lot more information about the story to actually write about it. I could have read more of 'Self Reliance' to get more information about it.

I have a huge question for anyone that can answer it.
Why is it that a person claims to "love you" but yet keeps hurting you? Why cant they just let you move on? why cant they just be honest in the beginning? Like am I not worthy of your honesty even if I was completely honest with you? I am so confused.

My life
       I decide to make a mistake that I will now forever regret, my parent is aware of what I did almost a year ago and I get grounded for a mistake. I accept that I should have said something sooner and should have heard it from me, but getting grounded for a mistake seems like an injustice. Mistakes aren't meant to be punished for, they exist to be learned from. People make mistakes everyday. I just decided to keep my mistake to myself. Being the middle child of divorced parents who didn't finish raising me, really came with some consequences but I should have been smarter to know between right and wrong. I just really hope I can come back from this one day.

Me
I want to change the way I look. I want to dye my hair dark navy and pierce my nose. I want to wear dark lipstick and shade in my eyebrows because I can. I want to not wear makeup and not be told that I look 'dead'. I want to be who I want to be.

 

Sneak peak 

 

 

As I am burning music into a CD I start to realize how relaxing yet interesting my music is. Hopefully Dr.Preston enjoys it as much as I do.

PSAT
It was a pain in the butt to sit in the ethel pope for 5 freaken hours. Plus it was cold in there. The only funny thing that happened was my stomach growling every 5 seconds cause of how hungry I was.

Since i dont have a dog to cuddle with or walk around I choose to do all that with my dwarf bunny that acts like a dog at times. So yes i do cuddle with my bunny and walk him in a leash. His names Blu.

And somehow he knows where his snacks come from

Homecoming Rally is THIS Friday and we barely started practices for the skit today. Never have I ever felt this much pressure in my life. Hopefully I don't mess up and look like a dumbass in front of the whole school.

My American Voice
   
   Its right to speak up when you see someone being in danger because of another person, when you feel like there is an injustice, when someone is talking crap about you, when you're being attacked, I mean there's so many reasons for you to speak up. I speak up when I feel like I am being attacked or when someone's judging someone else or when I am being disrespected. When I speak up, I speak with decency (if I am not mad, if I am mad I bring the whole cursing book out), I speak with my loud voice and I talk fast. I also give them a look to scare them a little so they know that I am being dead serious and its not something to joke with. I do think before I speak, I don't want to offend the person but I do want them to see what they are doing wrong, I want them to see things the way that myself or the other person sees it. I always look for the right words to say and I TRY to be as polite as I can, its hard to be polite to a jerk face but when I think about it you have to show that guy or girl who the bigger person is and not get on their level because then you'll be just like them.

Self love is the biggest thing in life, might not seem like it but it is. You have to be able to be proud of the person you are becoming. If something is bothering you about yourself then change it. Be a better person, work on yourself for you. Give yourself pep talks, make yourself feel good, be you. Let everyone see how imperfect, flawed, quirky, weird, and amazing you actually are and not give a shit about what anyone thinks. Regardless of how anyone thinks of you, choose to be happy and love yourself. Give yourself that love that you deserve, because self love is the best love.

Debating whether I should get some sleep or not, considering that it's almost 3 in the morning and I need to be awake again by 4:30ish. Hmm, go to sleep and wake up late and rush in the morning OR stay up and "wake up" early and not rush. Decisions decisions.

Inciting incident

My Aeris

On my essay I received a C. I did better than I though actually, I was surprised that I got a decent grade. I received that grade because I didn't really do essay like I was suppose to and I do agree with it. I haven't earned good grades so far but I'm working my butt off to get back up. I think I deserve a C , I have most of my work done and I'm still working on catching up.

Quick rant !
I don't understand why people care how much makeup girls wear or don't wear. Why do they care how our hair looks like or how we dress? If we got the new pair of Jordan's or Nike's or not? Why does it matter? We look how WE want to look. Our body is our canvas and what we do to it, that's our masterpiece. We make it look the way we want it to look like. So when I ever listen to someone criticize another person because of they're appearance, it makes me sooooo mad. Like yo! Not everyone has to look or dress like you. They probably don't even care about fitting in like you do.

Setting up a journal/planner thing is soooooo much harder than I though ☹️ And I started it in August. Gotta finish what I started 💪🏼

Having a brother with Down syndrome is one of the best experiences that I've had. He's always happy and when I have a terrible day he always manages to make it better considering that he's 2.

The story "Earh on a Turtles Back" was really interesting to me. There was life already started in the clouds but once she hit the dirt on the turtles back she began the life on earth, with the help of the little animals. I enjoyed reading it.

Excited to do things different in school for once!(:
