Public high school is the stupidest thing on this planet. But thats just my opinion. I wasn't one of those children that could show up to school and succeed at the drop of a hat. I was one of the select few that got stuffed in lockers and had rumors pinned to my back like sticky notes. Even though I told teachers and complained, nothing was ever done to make the issue subside.
I think that if one of the teachers would have given a shit, I would have enjoyed public school a lot more. All the teachers thought I was just another bad kid incapable of succeeding. I could tell by the way they looked at me and how they talked at me instead of to me. Just another walking report card stained with red ink.
I suffered through middle school for a reason though. I hated every minute that I was in that hell hole, but that hell hole is what made me see that public school was just not the proper learning environment for me. I then started looking into Wellsprings Friends School. I figured if I couldn't hack it in a public middle school, a public high school was only going to be ten time worse.
When I finally reached the bridge of high school I was more than ready to be released from the grasp of the public school bullshit and enter into the loving and understanding arms of a little place known as Wellsprings Friends School. Now you see this place isn't no ordinary school, no sir. This place is special. It and all who inhabit it are different, yet we all have so many things in common. Everyone is treated equally and no one person is better than anyone else. I feel like I can breath here without ingesting someone else's hatred towards someone else.
I defiantly have a better outlook on the educational system because of this school. Not a day goes by that I don't feel heard and accepted. It's like I went from being a waking report card, to being an actual human being. I have learned so much more educationally and socially than I did in public school. Ultimately I have learned to trust my peers, and no matter what they have my back.
This has become a second home. Every person here, teachers and students, are my family. I can learn and ask questions without feeling judged or stupid. The teachers make it easy to be at school. I don't feel the need to go hide out in the bathroom or a vacant classroom. I'm allowed to be myself which is all I really needed. I have found my voice.

The end is near...
There are two great theories fighting for popularity on the internets. When I say great I mean completely hilarious and sincerely insane.
This guy Lou Valintino is a fascinating fellow. His blog is really hard to read but when you get past the big scientific words and the nutter babble, it is kind of interesting.
According to Lou, on the date 11/11/11 the world is going to go downhill. The economy is going to crash and war is going to break out in the Middle East, and Cuba is going to become violent. UFOs are going to start making themselves known he says, but don’t worry, he insures that we can’t be negatively invaded by aliens because we have already negatively invaded ourselves.
To verify that his predictions are correct, he has a whole list of important predictions that came true. He predicted that Bill Clinton would be impeached in 1998 because Monica Lewinski spoke her true feelings to the public.
If you are really worried about being abducted by aliens you can just sell your soul to God, but you better hurry because May 21st is coming quick. That’s what Marie Exley says. She believes that the world is going to end on May 21, 2011. She really wanted to start a family but since she thinks the end is near, she has decided to do God’s work because she doesn’t have time to start a family.
She now drives around from town to town telling people that if they don’t get straight with the lord they will not be saved when May 21st gets here. Marie and a bunch of other extremists, think that the Bible is cosmic calendar. But if this so called day of death passes and Jesus hasn’t came down to save them, then they haven’t lived up to his true expectations.
Let’s play a game of ‘Would You Rather’ shall we? Ok. Would you rather be abducted and anally probed by aliens? Or would you rather give your soul to God and hope that he isn’t going to anally probe you like the aliens? You choose. Be swift about it though because May is approaching as we speak.

Today, on the way to school something made me laugh, but I don't know what it was. It must have been really funny because I laughed all the way to school. Then me and my friend watched this really funny video that made me laugh even more. So basically I've been laughing all day.

My weekend was really boring. I went to Brownsville and sat around and played video games the whole time. And when my brain felt like it was going to explode, I went roller blading. There is also nothing to eat in that hell hole. Brownsville is a terrible place for a teenage girl.

Well today has been hard. I'm really tired and I don't feel motivated at all. No caffeine is the reason I'm sure. I got to school, and that didn't even motivate me. I'm feeling very dull today.

Today is day three of no caffeine and I am feeling really drained. I got out of bed this morning craving a cup of coffee but no, I couldn't have any. Then when I got to school I made coffee for everyone else but again couldn't have a single cup. This has been the longest three days of my life.

Today I rolled out of bed this morning at 6:15. I jumped in the shower, then made breakfast for my friend. I got to school and now I'm in blogger class. It's been to average of a morning.
