Life Lessons.

It's almost unbelievable how fast this year went by. This year was ALMOST perfect. So many tears, both happy and sad. So many uncontrollable laughs with friends. A countless number of crazy nights you won't ever forget, or remember. Haha I'm just kidding. On a serious note, I did A LOT of growing up in 08. I really do feel like I changed for the better. I don't just feel like it was another year that went by. I feel like I actually did something for myself this year. It definitely wasn't a walk in the park though. I was hard letting go of old things and allowing new and unfamiliar things to enter your life. But I guess that's what growing up is about? I'm just so excited that 09 is about to be here. It's a new start and I'm determined to make it better, if not just as good as 08. At the same time, I'm sad to let 08 go because it was such a great year! 

WELL HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS IT!

What happened to FAMILY?

My family has always been really tight. One of those big families where everyone loves each other. One of those families that has BBQ's every Sunday. I had the type of family where cousins and aunts were best friends. But the past two years has brought nothing but drama to my family. It's ridiculous how immature my family is being! It's actually pretty disgusting. It's gotten to the point where everyone is doing their own thing for Christmas! Ever since I was born, and probably before that, the whole family got together for Christmas, and New Years. And this year were not?! Over something as stupid as this!? I hurts to say it, but who knows how many holidays we have left with each other? Grandmas getting pretty old.. and so is Gramps. Can't everybody just put your stupid problems a side?! Don't you even care how this is effecting the kids?! Gosh. I swear sometimes adults can be more immature then the "kids."

Does anybody even care anymore!??!!

I'm so tree hugger but lately in World History it has come to my attention that...

we're killing our freaking planet!!!

So basically I think we really need to realize what we're doing.
Everyone hears about this "global warming" and "pollution"
but nobody is really educated. I think the media needs to make a better attempt to educate our society about this before it's to late.

We're running out of options.

finals.

I really do honestly hate finals. I hate it with a passion. Not only is it pretty stressful, but also it's just another reminder that school and just time in general is going by way to fast! Late night study sessions kill you! I think I'm doing a pretty good job in preparing myself for finals this time. Unlike last year. I guess that's just one of the perks of NOT being a Freshman. =]

Bye Gunderson

I'm sooooooo out of here. 

To many memories. It hurts.

Tired of the same faces. It's irritating. 

The same routine everday.. 

CAN YOU SAY BORING?!

Now I just got to make the final decision. 

It's MY choice.. Anywhere I want to go and I'm there. 

But now where do I go?? 

And the most intresting part is when I'm gone, nobody will notice.

Maybe once I'm gone for a few weeks. 

Doesn't seem like..

When ever you want to be alone, everyone just seems to want to be around you.?

And when ever you just need to talk, nobody is available?

Doesn't it seem like when ever somebody turns to you and asks, "What's wrong,"

with just that irritating voice, it just makes your eyes well up with tears?

All I know is that's how it's been for me lately and it's driving me crazy... 

I need to get out of Gunderson

I don't know why but for the past two months or so I have just grown to completely dislike Gunderson. And this is where my story starts. So it was after lunch, 5th period, and as usual I was completely fed up for the day. I walked into Mr. Thompson's class, looked to my right, and this is what I read. Gunderson High School is a technological, collaborative, college preparatory community that achieves excellence, celebrates individuality, and respects diversity. That would be Gunderson's Vision Statement. Reading this made me realize something. As an 8th grader coming into high school as a freshman, I chose Gunderson as my school for one reason and one reason only. And that was because I heard nothing but good things about this school, and at orientation I remember Mr. Castro starting his speech off with that statement. From that moment on I was so excited to start. I loved the fact that everyone could be themselves, that we had no cliques, and for the most part everyone got along with each other. Celebrates individuality and respects diversity. That is what I was most looking forward to. Unfortunately as the year went on I found this to be completely not true. Nobody is an individual and everyone is the same. Yea we do have so many different kinds of people, but no matter what "type" of person they are, they all have the SAME EXACT ATTITUDE. Everyone has this attitude of I don't care. Excuse my language but I'll kick your ass because I'm so hard. And to be honest it came from the class of 2011 and now the class of 2012 has followed. Every school has drama. I mean come on, it's high school. But as far as I'm concerned, our Freshmen and Sophomore classes has doubled Gunderson's drama rate. Even though I'm not in it, it gets really annoying to hear about it. To hear about who's supposedly fighting who when everyone knows it's most likely not going to happen. I've just become so tired of it. I realize no matter where I go this is going to happen, but I've gone to school with these people since elementary school and middle school. I just need change. I need to get out of Gunderson. I need to meet new people. And I feel I can't do that at this school
