New Semester!

So, today is the last day of this term, and all I have to say about it is, "Hallelujah!" I do not have great grades, and my parents are not happy about it, as they have told me on multiple occasions. I finally got my grade in math up to a B, but it could definitely be better. I have a Chemistry paper to turn in after school, but I don't know how much difference that will make. Hopefully it will get my grade up from a C to at least a C+. I don't know if it will happen yet, but I'm hoping. My grade in English also went up slightly, and I'm hoping it will go up more soon. Some grades I cannot fix, and I guess that is just too bad. My New Year's resolution is to get better grades, and get above a 3.5. I really hope I can do it and stop procrastinating.

Deadly

Ok, so Christmas break was just barely. I stayed up past midnight on almost every night there was in the break. I slept in every morning except yesterday and today, yesterday because I had 9 o'clock church and had to get up early for it, and today because obviously I have school. It is disgusting! So I have been losing like six hours of sleep per night, and it is not very cool at all. I am going to die of sleep deprivation, because I don't have many breaks during third term, and they are all one day things. So I get to sit here and die. Maybe I will take a nap today, maybe it will take all day to do math and Chemistry. I don't know, but either way, one of these days I need to get my full amount of sleep!

Blogging...

So, I seem to be the only one in my entire Journalism class that already has a blog, so I am incredibly bored right now as I sit here messing around while they all make blogs.

One of these days I need to get enough sleep. I have been getting eight hours or less for about two weeks now. Good thing Christmas Break is in two days, then I can sleep in. If my mom wakes me up, I will not be happy.

I can't really think of much to write about today, so this post will probably be pretty boring. I am also super tired, so it could get weird.

So, we bought my dog Lola a sweater after her surgery because when we went to the vets for a check-up she was apparently shivering really bad. Dr. McGuire told us to go and get a doggie sweater or something to keep her warm. When I put it on her, she just sat there for almost five minutes just staring at me and waiting for me to take it off her. When I just sat there watching her, she tried to get someone else to take it off her. No one did, and for the rest of that night she sat downstairs sulking and probably trying to get it off. She seems to have given up on getting off by now, and she doesn't mind it as much. I just think it's funny that Lola is the only one (I think anyway) that has gotten a Christmas sweater this year. The only one that doesn't need to wear clothes gets a sweater for Christmas!

I wonder what I'm getting for Christmas. I'm pretty sure that I won't get the one thing I want most, just because my parents don't want to be nice and relieve my suffering. I swear, if I don't get a cell phone soon, I will get stranded somewhere all alone, and then I will die because I couldn't call anyone to come and save me. Mom, Dad, I hope you're reading this.

Journalism

I know that I am posting very often now, and i just wanted you to know that I will be posting at least twice a week from now on for my Journalism class. This is just about random things in my life, but they have to be "Phippen appropriate", So I won't be able to write about either my "sex life, or any nefarious activity." Too bad, huh? I know you will miss it.

With Chrstmas coming up, I need money. Badly. And I happen to not have any. If any of you will be seeing me in the last week, you could donate to the cause... I managed to clean the tubs yesterday and make $3, but I need at least thirty to get everything I want to get for various people in my life.

Usually in my family we just get a small present for all the kids in my family, but this year we decided to draw names. I got Pwee, and I know a few things I want to get him, but I don't have nearly enough money. Watty got me, and I basically have no idea what he is getting me, but I guess I will find out next week, ,won't I?

So, until next post.

Bored Times 10

So, I'm sitting in Journalism right now with nothing to do. I still have about a half hour left to go and I'm sitting in the corner dying of boredom. So I just wanted to write something random before I go.

Once of these next days is Christmas. I don't have money for presents, so everyone's presents will be probably all nice and cheapo. Just for whoever gets a present from me, sorry. But I'll try to get you a good present anyway.

Oh my gosh, I'm going to die if something doesn't happen soon! I wish I could check myself out, come back for A3 and then leave again in time for math. In my next class I get to learn about babies from conception to birth, possibly watching "The Miracle of Birth" along the way. None of my friends are in that class, so you can imagine the wonderful awkwardness.

After that I have history, which sounds lame, but a bunch of my friends are in that class, and the teacher is funny, so it's ok. After that, lunch, and then: Math (dramatic music playing in the background) We even have a test today! *sarcasm* I am so pumped *sarcasm*!

Someone save me!
