Sometimes I hate group project!
Cary:
For English class we needed to read this Historical Fiction book. My group book is The Slave Dancer. It’s a really good book. So, when we received the dates and everything my group decided to read at least until page 50 for Friday (yesterday). Well, Daniel finished the book, I’m on page 59 and the rest of the group is far behind. Well I asked them to read a lot Friday afternoon and send me an e-mail with the information we need to put on the power point presentation at least the characters. Well, Daniel sent me the summary, I changed a little so I would be clearer. I responded his e-mail thanking him for doing his part in the presentation. Well guess what! It seems like the rest of the group doesn’t give a s-h-i-t for this project, and for grades! I mean, I told them to send me yesterday, its 9:00P.M and they didn’t. I finished the ppt. And on Monday I just tell them to do the characters part. Of course I didn’t right it down, so if they didn’t read… problem. If they did… Good! I just hope they don’t ruin the whole thing.
Now, Sunday 20:33P.M I recieved a call from one of the group members. I was happy whe she told me she sent me the e-mail. At least she wasn’t iresponsible. But one of them still call me… 
I don’t like fights…
Cary:
Yesterday in English class like always Ms.C gave us some time to study for vocab. Sofy and I was studying with Alvy (like always). And then, like always, we started doing our stupid but funny jokes at each other. It was when I noticed Sofy got upset. I tried to say I was sorry. But she wouldn’t listen. And then I said I wouldn’t make the jokes again and she said I always say that but never stop doing that. That’s not true. I mean when she asked me to stop the jokes about the booby lady I stopped. But now I mean, in the end of the day she was still mad at me I mean what’s your thing? I didn’t mean it. And I don’t think a friendship can end because of that. My only hope is that Monday she will talk to me again. After all I hate fighting!! When I see the conversation will turn out to be a fight I just say ok you’re right, or I’m sorry. Or if I really don’t wanna talk to this person again, I won’t waste my time fighting, I just turn around and walk away.
Ouch… // Oops
Today in P.E class I was already having a bad time while the teacher kept on saying that I wasn’t giving my best but actually I was because my knee was really hurting. It’s hurting a lot lately. Well, I couldn’t tell her that it was hurting because then she would start saying that I don’t stretch before class, and that I never exercise. I mean come on, yes I do stretch. I just don’t lay down on the grass because then I would get my but all green and I would start itching. And I do exercise. I dance, I mean really dance, 3 times per week 2 1/2 hour a day.
And I play soccer. So I’m not that lazy!
Well so I was playing soccer and Pedro (the boy that was playing in my team) passed the ball, but it was high so, I mean, I wouldn’t just let the ball pass so I jumped and hit my head on the ball. My objective was to do a goal but the ball just went up. And I felt like a hammer had just torn my brain apart. I put my head down wishing it wouldn’t hurt as much but it was worse, then I felt all my blood go down to my head. I was when I felt the pressure. (I read an article that a guy had a heart attack or something that he died) I could already see flashbacks of my life. When I put my head up again I could feel that everyone was looking at me. Even the 6 graders having percussion near by. The teacher told me to wash my face. I knew she was scared, I mean, if one of her students died during her class she could be punished for not teaching how to hit the ball with your head.
It was already time to go. We went to the library talk to Ms.C and after we went to art after-school. I have this thing that I just can’t stop what I’m doing right in the middle of it because class is over and I need to go home. So when the teacher told us to clean up I continued my work. After I cleaned up. Everyone was still in the class talking so I didn’t realize what time it was. Someone mentioned that I would miss my bus. But the driver always comes late so I didn’t worry. After cleaning up I went to the lockers and got my back-pack. It was when I saw all the buses driving away. I felt my blood run cold. I went running like crazy down to where the buses stop to get us. I hoped he was still there. It was when I looked and he was driving by. I just couldn’t let him (the bus) go. So I ran after it. The guard ran after me telling me that I shouldn’t run around the street but I didn’t really care because I just wanted to get home.
I think the buss driver saw me because he stopped the bus. When I walked in I said I was sorry and some high-school boys started saying that I was dating someone behind the gym or something. I mean common I’m not that type. And I just didn’t answer them because I knew we would get into a discussion and someone would get hurt.
In the end I got home safe. And here I am safe and alive and with a lot of headache.
Ants everywhere!!!! They’re stalking me!!!!
Cary:
They are everywhere!!! And I mean inside the house!!!
There’s ants ON the computer, IN the computer, UNDER the computer!!! And I’m not really an insect lover.. so everytime I see an ant I get the nearest possible object and kill them. Like I did now and the nearest possible object was a pen. As we all know pens aren’t that thick so while I smashed it I could hear her little scream, and I could see her suffering face while I killed her. I felt bad for her (ANT) but it’s better having her dead than crawling on me and on my hmwrk.
My mom always fights wiht me because when I kill an insect
(there’s a wholwe lot of types of insect in my house, it’s like a florest)
I just let them there… dead…. I mean it’s disguting to get it and throw it away. And once I missed it when I tried killing it with the cell phone, ( I really meant it when I said nearest possible object) the ant ran and after shaked her butt at me because I didn’t kill her. But that’s like
one week ago so I probably already killed her… HAHAHAHA!!
Sometimes this school don’t make sense…
Cary:
This week was the spirit week. Each day there’s a “costume” or a certain clothes you “have” to wear. That’s fine with me… after all I don’t participate in most of them. It was when I read in the morning bulletin that today was emo day. OMG! I mean look the level of prejudice, they’re saying that emo is a costume. And it’s really someones personality and how they feel. I don’t get this school. I mean if we’re in class and someone fall and we start laughing (including the person who fell) the teacher says that we’re mean. And we can’t be bully. I mean HELLOO! It’s funny man! And if we don’t laugh with simple moments in our lives we are we going to laugh then!! When someone tells a joke!! NOO (Most of the jokes aren’t that funny) So.. going back to my topic.. I think the school should be careful with things they come up to do.
Maybe they didn’t mean to discriminate, or make fun of emos.
But still, it was something really mean to do.
Well, my hope is that they’ll be more creative next year.
Blog Update
Alvy:
I have made links to some of our favorite videos at the menu bar, so you can check out whatever we mention in the blog! I have put 3 videos for now…
Hikaru Utada – Hikari: This song is so soothing, I just love it, and you might be familiar with it from the videogame “Kingdom Hearts.” I had mentioned Hikaru Utada in my last post, so get the chance to see how she sings live, I put up this video.
Ashley Tisdale – Be Good To Me: This video, I have also mentioned in a previous post, and it’s a song from Ashley Tisdale’s first album, “Headstrong” so if you like the song, you can buy the whole CD, because they’re all great.
Christina Aguilera – On Our Way: Of course, “On Our Way” could not be left out, it is the name of our blog and it’s a song that we admire and it has very special meaning. This is not a music video, it’s the song playing while it’s showing a picture of Xtina.
I hope you like all the changes in “On Our Way” leave a comment for improvements or if you like the blog as it is now, we love comments!
Once More With Feeling
Alvy:
Yesterday, Sofy, Cary and Bia went to Vanessa’s house (Oh, by the way, it may seem a surprise to you, but Vanessa was there also.)
We went there to watch “Date Movie” and “Once More With Feeling” (Actually, it’s a Buffy episode.) We arrived, and left our backpacks near the kitchen. We went straight to the livingroom to watch “Date Movie” it’s kind of pornographic, in a way that’s not pornographic, but it’s very funny. We took the kids off the livingroom so they wouldn’t see anything, but Vanessa’s sister made her way and got a little bit of the most “pornful” part. After we watched “Date Movie” we watched the Buffy musical episode called “Once More With Feeling” and it was very interesting. Sofy and I have seen most of the seasons, and we know a lot about each charater, so when we saw Anya (ex-demon, terrified of bunnies, money-lover) sing a total concert on her fear for bunnies, we burst out laughing, and everyone just stared at us. Everyone liked the “Walk Through The Fire” song, so we rewinded that song so we could sing along, and then we watched “She’s the man” but before that, I went to the bathroom, and saw enough evidence to assume that Sofy didn’t flush. And when told her, everyone started laughing, and Vanessa’s mom started to talk about how she does her needs in the bathroom. Later on, we discovered that the toilet water was originally yellow. Even before we were done with “She’s The Man,” Bia and I went home.
From then on, I don’t really know what happened in Vanessa’s house… (Dramatic Song)
So Many Tests In The End Of The Year!
I hate end of semester, I mean we have so many tests. Just in English class the we don’t have so many, because it doesn’t really changes the quantity of tests we take. But in Science and History, Geography and Math! Man! We have tests everyday!
Normally in history tests I really don’t know what I’m doing. But this one was different! I mean it wasn’t easy peasy but it wasn’t that hard. Maybe because I studied really hard. What I don’t like about Rodrigo (Geo. & Hist. teacher) is that he stays 2 months teaching us something and in the end he gives a big test. I mean if we get a B- on the test our grade goes really down. And we don’t have a chance of getting a good grade after. Specially with Rodrigo the test are big because he make difficult questions and he expect us to remember names of people we didn’t ever met and that he mentioned the names 2 months ago! I mean, I don’t even remember what I had for dinner yesterday! How can I remember that! He could at least give quizzes and make the final test not that important. The bad thing about Geography is that we only have it one day in our schedule, so it’s even harder to remember what type of landscape the region has. I don’t even know the street I live in how can I know the landscape I’m on!
Science:
What I like about Science is that its a logical subject. I mean or it yes or no and maybe. Not like history and geography that you need to memorize everything! I also like Science because I want to be a Scientist when I grow up. It’s more some who stays on a station where you can see the atmosphere of the whole world in a computer. And when a hurricane is forming you call the places that will pass and then you’ll save a lot of people that could’ve died. The only thing I don’t like about Science is the lab reports. I’m just really lazy when it gets to do things I don’t really know how to do. But I have a lab report due on Monday and I hope I’ll get this one done. It will be the first lab report in my whole middle school life experience.
Math:
This last week was really funny because Mrs.Hogan gave us a test about Chapter 5 and everyone except Julia failed. Shew said she would give us another test and everyone except Julia and Christina failed. Well, in the end I think we did 4 tests and the maximum of people who passes in each test was 2. The last test we did yesterday I think I did pretty well. It turned out I did. I only got 3,5 wrong out of 33 questions. Only one person failed which I won’t say the name because I don’t think it’s ethical. I think I did pretty well this semester, I’m just waiting to see my final grades because I know every year there’s a surprise bad grade, I’m hoping this year there’s no surprises.
So Weird But So Cute
There’s this little cute boy in 6th grade. He’s a mixture of japanese with Brazilian. He’s so cute, and all the boys of his class kind of exclude him because he is smart. Once I saw him going down the ramp with his back-pack, he was overloaded with things. He was carrying boxes, and posters, and notebooks. He fell and his wheel back-pack ran over him. Everything fell on the ground, everyone that passed didn’t help him, I almost cried. He was there alone trying to get up and not one single soul helped him. Since I was really late for P.E I couldn’t help him but I sure wanted to. Well I’ve been hiding my love for him since the beginning of 7th grade. Yesterday I was going to my bus and there was him, like always overloaded. I said hi, he said hi, Alvy said that I loved him and the little boy made a strange fart noise with his mouth. It was really weird but still he is so cute.
I’m So Sick of People
Gosh! I mean, I’m so sick of people that don’t get things! Today in computer class I always have my place, everyone has one. And then I went in and Lorraine was sitting where I’m supposed to sit. I mean, I’m not saying you’re stupid… but you’re sure not smart. And then you ask if I like you or if we’re super friends! Hell no! I don’t hate you but just live your life and then I’ll live mine.
And now I’m here in computer class… sitting away from my friends, and totally isolated. And Lorraine is there, in my place staring at her computer and complaining why is not working! Of course it’s not working, that computer wasn’t meant to be used by you!
Changing topic.. today in Advisory we were supposed to do plays about self-esteem. Since Mrs. Herrera wasn’t there, (we had a substitute.. Lalita) we didn’t really do something about self-esteem. My group, Sofy, Alvy and Talita did a play about Eve and Adam. Talita was Eve and Sofy was God who told her not to eat the apple(Alvy) and I was the tree. It was really funny because I couldn’t stop laughing the whole play, and then on the main point of the story I don’t know why but I said: “I really need to pee!” Everyone started laughing, including Lalita. In the end I didn’t get to pee and Alvy, Sofy and I decided that Lalita isn’t a bad substitute after all. Maybe we hated her when she substituted in English class because we’re so used to having Ms.C as a teacher and she’s so cool that no one can substitute her.
The other plays were really funny too, Renato sounded like Mano from Happy Feet, because he did a strange voice just like the penguin does when he’s trying to sing. Of course the boys’ plays’ were all about fighting and war, but it was fun too because they did Act 1 from Romeo and Juliet when the families fight so it was kinda funny watching that.
Daniel, the new boy, in our class is really cool and funny. I think he’s already friends with the boys. Poor him, he was attacked in math class by Julia. She started looking weird at him and said that she knew him from somewhere. She didn’t settledown till she found out that he studied where her older brother used to go to school.
