Oh wow. XD People actually enjoy this? Thanks geekguy and dinag. Unfortunately, I think my laptop is broken so I won't be able to post as frequently. My parents found us a house to live in--no more hotel-- and I can have some privacy. I'll probably buy a new computer. Weird thing happened recently, I haven't been attending school very regularly this past two weeks so my school emailed my mom telling her about it, which isn't a big deal. My mom knows I stay home. =p But that's not the weird thing; the weird thing is one of my teachers phoned my mom and expressed their concern about me. >.< They asked my mom if I was okay and stuff and if she could talk to me because I've seen really withdrawn since I started school there. So I guess she thinks I'm depressed or pregnant or something. Loll, makes me feel interesting Anyway, I'll write again later, and thanks again for reading

ah thats great news on the university thing congrats! Thanks for the well wishes too, I should probably actually update my blog as it has been a while since I even looked at it 0_o I've also been in a situation like you posted before where my school contacted my parents because they were concerned with how withdrawn I was (except for me this occurred in Kindergarten, when I was about 5/6 years old). Basically one of the caretakers was worried because I barely spoke a word to anyone so she berrated my mum to go take me to a speech therapist or something (can't remember exactly, was like 12-13 years ago now). But the funny thing was that when we got there and had me checked on by this specialist, the specialist gave me the all clear and thought I was in fact quite normal, just quiet and more comfortable with my family than others. I laugh when I think about it now because my mum never really got on well with the teacher that raised the "issue" xD. Just out of curiosity what was your mum's reaction to the teachers concerns?

Well my mom didn't really take it too seriously. She asked me in a sort of joking way if everything was okay in school and I told her it was. It's weird because at home I'm sometimes a real motormouth it's just around people I don't know well that I clam up. The situation was a little funny, but I could tell my mom also wanted to make sure I really was okay at school stuff.

Adriana, I really like reading what you have to say. Congrats on the acceptance to the school of your choice, i can almost remember what it was like for me when that happened. I remember getting called down the the guidance office in High School too, my french teacher reported i looked too sad. And your pic, its Lain isnt it? That thing in her hair is a dead giveaway. I think you're cool

Oh how lame I am.
There's a new kid in my math class (I'm about a month old now so I still think I'm kind of new too) and I thought it would be cool to ask him how he's liking the school and things and if he is finding his way around okay... but of course I didn't do this. I don't know why I can't just talk to people. I think it's because I plan too much. In my head I'm like, "I should ask him does he like the school... but how should I phrase it?" Or, "Okay If I say (insert remark here) these are the possible things he would say... to which I would respond..." and so on. And then theres the timing thing I do. It's the beginning of class so I'm like... Okay I'll wait 'til things settle down a bit... Oh but now the teacher is teaching... I'll wait until the last 10 minutes of class... oh... but maybe it's too late now- I'll definitely do it next class..." Then the next class this vicious cycle repeats until I think too much time has passed to do it and it'll seem... I don't know ... past due? Like there's an expiration date on when I can talk to a certain person. I really would like to welcome him and stuff, and invite him to sit with me at lunch or something... but I guess I'm just too shy. D:

I really would like to welcome him and stuff, and invite him to sit with me at lunch or something... but I guess I'm just too shy. D: Oh I have played that game before. I eventually learned not to diagram possible conversation in my head, lol, but getting the timing right is still a bit tough. This might or might not be helpful to you, but it's helped me, so I thought I'd share. For me, the easiest solution to the planning problem is to only let yourself plan a few questions/statements that you might say, plus a "sign-off" phrase. Guessing what they're going to say usually doesn't work so well, since there's still plenty of room to be surprised, and I think the complicated nature of trying to anticipate each response can contribute to mental blank-outs. But if you have your questions and your sign-off ready at hand, you can choose whether to just go with the flow of the conversation, transition to your next planned question, or end the conversation gracefully (in theory, lol). I do hope you're able to find the right time to talk to the new kid! He won't be new for very long, but if you can show him up-front that you're friendly, it could help give you an "in" when New Guy starts making friends of his own. Even having one person to say, "her? I've talked to her before; she seems cool" can help the rest realize that you're ok to talk to, too.

Wow, that actually does sound really helpful. I'll try to put it to use, but maybe not with him since we're on break now. But If I see some people around who look friendly I'll try to go up to them and start some kind of conversation. Or else my break is going to be really boring.

I'm in a video production class and I can never come up with ideas... Well I can come up with some, but a lot of kids in video have lots of friends and stuff that they can put in their videos and uhm I don't. I always get the camera out and props but then I feel really awkward making a video alone [or with my little sister] so I just don't do it. =/

Today I didn't really feel like pulling myself out of bed but I did it anyway...because of some reason that I forget now. I'm tired of this school thing. I have an AP exam tomorrow that I've been studying really hard for. I want to do well just to prove to myself that I can (wish me luck). We've beeen dissecting a cat in anatomy class. I've grown used to pulling things apart now. I kind of am curious to see a human dissection.

Hey its been a while since you last posted How'd your AP exam go? A cat dissection? That seems kinda random (normally its frogs being dissected not cute and cuddly pets lol), I think I dissected a cow heart a few years back in science class, that was after one of my friends licked it xD so nasty. If you wanna see and do human dissections all the time, be a coroner ;D. I don't know why but I look forward to reading your updates, please post more! ^^
