1st quarter

WOW!!! The first quarter of the year is already over. It's hard to believe this is now the 10th week of school. It only feels like 5 to me. I am happy with my academic performance so far and hopefully it only gets better. I am looking forward even more to the memories that will be created in the next 3 quarters. I hope I still hang out with my friends after high school. One of my goals for this year is to try and not worry so much about things that I can't change. All worrying does is get you stressed out and waste time. If you can't change the situation why worry? If you can, then why worry? That is one of my rules this senior year.

Project Partner

Today in British literature we got a paper on a project that we are doing. Each person got a partner for the project. They were picked by Sis. Holly drawing names out of a bowl. I was the last name drawn. And my partner...Gabe. Not gonna lie; I was kind of upset that I got Gabe. Then I thought that this could be a great opportunity to learn how to work with people. We had a little disagreement already because we did not agree on what topic we wanted to do. There was a list and every team had to pick from that list, no duplicate topics. All we had left was an author and two other topics on general themes. Before I even knew my partner I knew I wanted to do an author and not a general theme. By the time that Gabe and I were able to pick there was only one author left. When Sis. Holly asked which topic we want i immediately called out the Author. Gabe said no. i strongly told him that I will only do an Author and not the other two. I didn't care which author we did, if we would have been chosen earlier he could have picked the author. However, since there was only one left I had to put my foot down. Do you think I was too harsh and should have listened to him more or is what I did okay?

saving

Why is it so hard to save money. As you know I have a job and get paid every Friday. It seems like when every Friday rolls around I have the same amount. Through the week I end up spending money here and there, just a little, but it adds up. Now that I realize I have a problem I am going to try and fix it. I have been trying to save up for a keyboard. My plan of action is as follow: 1-Find the keyboard I want so I know how much to save up. 2- After each paycheck I first will pay tithes then put 50% of whats left in savings for the keyboard. Then put $30 away for gas/ general saving. The rest will be my disposable income. If I see hat this plan is not working then I will change it accordingly.

what annoys me

You know what annoys me!? When people walk around the mall or anywhere for that matter and just play music off their phone for everyone to here. It usually is dumb rap music. hey are called headphones people! Not everyone wants to listen to your crappy music. Your life is not a movie, you don't get a soundtrack! So stop doing it. I see lots of these people while I am working at the mall.
