Sophomore Slump. →
All those who wish to continue on with me to the next school year, above is the link for the next blog. It’s generally the same idea, but for Sophomore year.
(And yes, the title is stolen from Fall Out Boy because a) I have a slight obsession right now and b) I’m uncreative.)

Summer's here. Last post.
I know that I basically gave up on this blog a month or so ago, but I promised myself that I’d write this last post. I’m contemplating keeping this blog throughout high school, or maybe even just creating a new one for sophomore year- who knows. I’ll keep those who care posted about it.
Anyways, like I said. I’ve been promising myself I’d write one last post when...

Tuesday, April 20. (Day 26.)
26: Really, though, don’t be so quick to write people off. Don’t judge a book by its cover. I can’t tell you how many people I looked at the first day and thought “I won’t like her/him” or “that kid’s annoying” or “ooh, she’s so cool” and things along those lines. If you do that, you will most likely end up wrong about people....
Monday, April 19th. (27 Days.)
I’ve decided to just start counting down to the last day seeing as I don’t know what day I’m on now. I really do apologize about that. Also, to end the year on a more positive note I’ll start giving advice instead of reasons it sucks.
27: All incoming Freshmen out there who might read this, don’t spend your summer worrying over high school. It’s really not a...
I'm terribly sorry
That I haven’t updated this blog in such a long time. I’ve let two months pass by without one entry, and I really do apologize. In all honesty, I think it’s because I was at that point in the year where each day blended with the other and nothing exciting was happening anymore. When I got home, I was too exhausted to go through and type about my day. Aside from that, I just...

Since apparently it needs to be clarified.
I’m not bragging about my grades.

Tuesday, February 23. (Day 103.)
Reason 103: Okay, so let’s face it. You know it, I know it, we all know it. It’s a universal fact: High schoolers are stupid and immature. And this in itself gives high school enough reason to suck.
Today was decent, I guess. I was totally dying this morning from the late night, but by the time second period rolled around I was basically fine.
In math class I spent the entire time...

Monday, February 22. (Day 102.)
Reason 102: You get a handful of snow days, people come back with no clue how to walk in the hallways. This always presents itself as a problem. I was completely knocked over today, not to mention ran into at least seven times. I must be invisible or something.
Today wasn’t nearly bad as I thought it would be, coming back after that long long spell of snow days. I haven’t actually had...
Friday, February 5- Tuesday, February 9. (Days...
Sorry I’m so behind. I’ve been a little busy as of late, and it hasn’t crossed my mind to update this. I will get better about it after this post, I promise. There havejust been weird days because we went at ten on Monday and then on Tuesday we got out at one and we had snow days all this week and last Friday was hectic. Just let me list some reasons and I’ll ramble on...
Thursday, February 4. (Day 96.)
Reason 96: Every single time I come back from being sick or snow days or something I have an English quiz that I don’t know about therefore haven’t prepared for. Every single damn time.
Today was actually pretty good. I’ve been loving all the snow days, and I’m glad for the ten o’clock day. I was in such a better mood this morning. I had time to get ready and eat...

Wednesday, January 27. (Day 94.)
Reason 94: You’d be surprised how hard it is to walk up three flights of stairs with a twenty six pound backpack when you’re running of four hours of sleep.
Today when I reached the last step and walked onto the third floor, I said, “Man, it’s been a long day.” And Erica just looked at me and said, “Except it hasn’t started yet?” This was pretty...
Tuesday, January 26. (Day 93.) (Day late, sorry.)
Reason 93: When you are looking forward to getting somewhere, high school time is the absolute slowest on Earth.
The day went by very slowly. I was in a really good mood, even though it hadn’t even registered in my mind it was concert night.
Really, let’s be frank. I don’t remember pretty much anything from school. I know I pretty much rushed through all of my homework so that...
Monday, January 25. (Day 92.)
Reason 92: Shakespearean Literature.
It has been a very very very long day. It was pretty good though, despite the fact that I have a monster headache and my backpack weighs a good thirty pounds. I’m in a fantastic mood. Probably just because the concert is tomorrow.
On the way to school this morning Kelsey and I rapped, which was horrible, but I couldn’t stop laughing. It put me in...
Friday, January 22. (Day 91.)
Reason 91: Of all classes to get for third period, mine had to be History, so that Coach Trentham can go on for an additional thirty minutes (Seminar time) about whatever he’s talking about.
Today was better than yesterday, I guess. There isn’t a reason to complain about today, but likewise there isn’t a reason to brag about how great it was. It was a regular school day, and...
Thursday, January 21. (Day 90.)
Reason 90: Everything ever. That’s why it sucks.
Today sucked. I don’t want to talk about it in detail. I went to math and slept, I went to Spanish and slept, I went to History and read, I went to English and slept, I went to Physics and read, I went to band and read. There you go. That was my day.
On a side note, I think I’ve lost hope in all people entirely.
Wednesday, January 20. (Day 89).
Reason 89: I got ten points taken off my essay for formatting the paper incorrectly.
It was a long day. I kind of moved through it in a daze. Admittedly, not a lot happened. In math we learned how to graph functions. In Spanish I just read and didn’t pay attention. Took a test in History, got a 96.
I got an hour lunch today. I spent most of the first half of it making up an English...
Friday, January 19. (Day 88.)
Reason 88: The days are never ending, sometimes.
It was a very long day, as predicted. I’m totally exhausted, though I guess I don’t have too terribly much of a reason to be. I just am. It’s just all the late nights and early mornings and trying school days and lack of protein, therefore lack of energy.
But anyways. School.
I sat next to Meg in math today because the Sammy...
Friday, January 15. (Day 87.)
Reason 87: People see the need to stand in front of my locker and talk until the warning bell rings, making it impossible to get my books until last minute.
Today was so-so. Kels actually got us to school on time today, which would be a first. So I was inside before the bell rang for once.
Math went okay. I started talking to that Morgan girl because she really liked my bracelet. She said...
Thursday, January 14. (Day 86.)
Reason 86: People how forgotten how to walk in the hallway like a normal person over break. They are all so rude rude rude. I probably ran straight into at least ten people today because they kept stopping or just not giving me room to walk past them at all.
Today was okay. I can’t believe it was a two-hour delayed day, though. It felt like a real day. I have a feeling tomorrow isn’t...
Wednesday, January 6. (Day 85.)
Reason 85: ACT prep as a Freshman. Really? It’s not that I mind that we’re doing it in the first place as much as the fact that now I don’t have seminar for study hall.
Today was okay. I’ve started riding to school with Kelsey again, which means I don’t get there until either the bell is fixing to ring or it already has. It sucks, but I guess it’s better than...
Tuesday, January 5. (Day 84.)
Reason 84: First day back and they start right back on the homework, harder than ever. (Because I’ve pretty much forgotten everything.)
It was nice to get back to the old flow of things, but I have a crap ton of homework. I guess going back to how things were entails the bad ends of the deal, too. But as far as the day goes, it was alright. Nothing significant happened, as per usual. It...

Thursday, December 17. (Day 82.)
Reason 82: When you have free time to kill in exams, you end up getting yelled at for amusing yourself with play dough. Well, whatever.
Ironically, the worst grade I managed to get on an exam was in band. (So far, anyways. Who knows what my Physics grade is.) I got a 94 on the Algebra exam, a (very disappointing) 89 on the Spanish, a 97 on my History one (wtf? How does that even happen?), a 99 on...
Wednesday, December 16. (Day 81).
Reason 81: Band exams will surprise you with how difficult they are.
Today was okay. I loved English this morning. I like that classroom in the morning. The sun coming in makes it look very pretty, and it was just a nice setting. I read for the first thirty minutes, then dedicated the last part to writing people their letters. I’ve still got a lot to go. On a side note, I got a ninety six...
Tuesday, December 15. (Day 80.)
Reason 80: Picky English teachers. It’s BS when you get a seventy-five on an assignment in which you had to write vocabulary sentences, simply because you didn’t use enough context clues.
Today was okay. It was kinda slow, because we pretty much didn’t really do anything in most of my classes. In math I worked on the review and Gates drew me a bunch of pictures (which got the...
Monday, December 14. (Day 79).
I’m going to give Monday a reason even though I didn’t go, because I want the day to match the reason number.
Reason 79: If you’re not there for a day, you risk people talking about you like they know the whole story- when they don’t. (So, in short, people make high school suck pretty hard.)
Tuesday, December 8 - Friday, December 11. (Days...
Man, I keep getting so behind on this. But I’m going to attempt to keep up with it. I’m going to make a collective post for last week, and I promise I’ll get better about it after break.
Reason 75: Having to stay up until two in the morning to get through 30+ chapters of Great Expectations study guide work.
Reason 76: English teachers lie. They will always assign an essay over...
Monday, December 7. (Day 74).
Reason 74: All the work gets pretty overwhelming. Especially when you’re a procrastinator and end up putting everything off until the last possible week…
Today was pretty okay. In math, I rushed to finish History homework. But now I have this huge review assignment, because I wasn’t able to do it in class. Spanish was actually fun today, but I can’t remember why. In...
Friday, December 5. (Day 72).
(Ugh. I’m so forgetful when it comes to this).
Reason 72: The week drags by slowly until I actually need time to finish things up. Then, suddenly everything zooms by, making it impossible to get done. In fact, this applies to the entire nine weeks as a whole…
I don’t really remember what happened during school, I just know after school was a blast.
Thursday, December 3. (Day 71.)
Reason 71: Apparently it’s just extremely horrid to format math problems in a way your teacher doesn’t like. And instead of just tell you this, it’s necessary she give you a fifty on a quiz that you got all the answers right on…
Today was very good. There isn’t a reason, it just was. Those are always the good days.
I’m too tired to do any of this massive...
Tuesday, November 30 - Wednesday, December 2....
Okay, so I’m sorry I got so ridiculously behind on this. That’s high school for you. I got wrapped up in the hectic schedule of this week. So, I’m going to just combine all of this into one post and be short about it.
Reason 67: High school entails stupid things such as spending half of your life reading a book you hate.
Reason 68: It never fails that the one time you...

Monday, November 23. (Day 66.)
Reason 63: Lunch by yourself in a high school filled to the brim with people. You’d think you’d belong somewhere in there.
This is going to be short and straight to the point.
In math, Gates and I decided that the reason I was so randomly dizzy and couldn’t see straight was because I was blinded by my undying love for her.
I have a Spanish test tomorrow. I made a ninety-six...
Friday, November 20. (Day 65).
Reason 65: Everything.
Sorry this is late. You might as get used to them being late. I’m lazy and either otherwise occupied or tired on Friday nights.
Anyways. The day was okay. The schedule was messed up because of the talent show, but I’m not going to complain about having shorter classes. The day flew by, and I managed to get through.
An emo kid demanded my money from me. I have...
Thursday, November 19. (Day 64.)
Reason 64: Coach Trentham is a dick who doesn’t give me new “interactive notes” or whatever when I spill water all over mine.
So, today wasn’t the best, but it didn’t suck or anything. I’d say it was okay, but I’m so tired of only describing my days as that. I really need a thesaurus or something.
But anyways, in math class today we learned about finding...
Wednesday, November 18. (Day 63.)
Reason 63: My English teacher offers pretty much no extra credit, and I’m holding a C in her class at the moment.
Today was… I don’t even know. Weird. I moved through most of it in this daze I can’t really explain. I can’t decide if the week is going by slowly or pretty fast, but either way, I seem to be getting through it.
I took a math test that I’m pretty...
Tuesday, November 17. (Day 62.)
Reason 62: Creepy subs.
Gates and I got caught passing notes today. I could have sworn that Mrs. Hawkins was going to give us lunch detention, but she didn’t. Just a “warning” or whatever. All the other classes went as per usual, aside from World History which was actually interesting today.
On the way upstairs from lunch I managed to trip while walking up the stairs. It...
Monday, November 16. (Day 61.)
Reason 61: Coach Trentham’s geography quizzes.
Today went pretty smoothly for a Monday. The worst part of the day was the morning, which is pretty typical and was expected anyways. I found out I made a 105 on my math project (:D) thus bringing my grade up to a ninety-six. I have a test tomorrow in Spanish that I meant to study for, but oh well. I bombed a geography quiz today. I made a...
Friday, November 13. (Day 60.)
Reason 60: Everybody eventually has to graduate. That’s what sucks.
I moved through the day in a daze. I was so tired. I accidentally started to get my books out of the wrong locker. I was confused why my lock wouldn’t open and then Matt Lindsey walks up like, “Um, excuse me Hannah, I need to get to my locker?” And I looked him like, “What?” And then I realized...
Thursday, November 12. (Day 59.)
Reason 59: All the teachers just randomly decide to assign a ton of super hard homework all on the same night, which happens to be the busiest night of the week.
Today went okay. In my (honors) English class and Physics class like more than half of the people were missing because of chorus. It was weird. I have a lot of homework. Like, I shouldn’t even be online right now, because I’m...
Wednesday, November 11. (Day 58.)
Reason 58: Sometimes, the one person you want the most to get away from (out of the ten million it seems are in the high school) is the one that you can’t seem escape.
Today was pretty good, considering. Math was pretty awesome. Megan made me a whole freaking bag of cookies because I was so sad last night and she wanted to make me happy. She also told me she liked my shirt (like three...
Tuesday, November 10. (Day 57.)
Reason 57: People.
I don’t even want to talk about.
Monday, November 9. (Day 56.)
Reason 56: When you try to help, you just end up getting yelled at.
I’m getting so pulled into the pattern of this school thing, it’s a little bit crazy. When I really sit down and think about it, the actual day I spend at school never varies. I feel like I’m just reliving the same day over and over again. And I guess it’s okay, because I probably could go on like this...
Friday, November 6. (Day 55.)
Reason 55: We- the band- sit in there for a good twnety minutes, and only play two songs in pep rallies. And when we actually do play songs, they don’t even mention us… They’re just like, “Give it up for the cheerleaders and dance team!”
(It’s a day late, I apologize). It was a good day, but it was the longest one yet. The school part of it, as always, flew by...
Thursday, November 5. (Day 54.)
Reason 54: Having a substitute in math and therefore no one to explain exactly how it is you simplify polynomials.
[It’s 11:26 and I’m still up working on this English assignment. Since I don’t have time to formulate an actual post about my day (which was okay) I’m going to post some of the short story “tale of horror” thing on here. (Keep in mind it...
Wednesday, November 4. (Day 53.)
Reason 53: Bitchy exboyfriends.
Today wasn’t that great. I failed the Physics test I took yesterday, I’m most definitely not going to have enough time to edit my story for English, I got a sucky new seat in Spanish, apparently all my old friends are mad at me, and Mrs. Smith wants me to take AP Euro next year (which is apparently extremely hard). Not to mention my exboyfriend seems...
Tuesday, November 3. (Day 52.)
(A day late, sorry.)
Reason 52: Physics tests that you don’t know the answer to that take up every single minute of class.
The day was good. I don’t have any major complaints, except for the fact that it sucks when your favorite teachers is in one of her moods. I can’t decide if I like Ms. Payne simply because she teaches English or not, because Lord, she gets so moody....
Monday, November 2. (Day 51.)
Reason 51: You miss a day of school and you’d be surprised how much you really can miss.
Guess who had to write down the first two paragraphs of ”The Raven” from memorization for a test today that she didn’t know about? Guess who hasn’t ever read “The Raven”?
Guess who had a test over the some short story Edgar Allen Poe wrote? Guess who never got a...

Friday, October 30. (Day 50.)
(A day late, sorry. Ya’ll are just gonna have to get used to the fact that during marching season, I will never be able to talk about my Friday on the actually Friday.)
Reason 50: Coach Trentham’s ridiculous 126 question fill in the blank tests (that took me all of class and seminar to complete, maybe a few minutes of lunch.)
I kept forgetting today was Friday. It went by pretty...
