Argh. I can't sleep. I hate when this happens.
I've been sleeping pretty badly the past few days. I don't know why. And the quality of the sleep s not good either. My mom once suggested that I take sleeping pills, but I had declined...maybe I really do need sleeping pills >.< I don't really like the thought of that. Pretty pathetic. Not only do I fail in school, basketball, and pretty much everything else except for failing, but I also fail in sleeping! That's pretty sad - as in pitiful.
There were some things that I'd forgotten to mention in the last post. So I guess I'll just kind of put it here...
First of all, that lady who gave us the almond cookies, gave it to us at the party thing we had at our house on Saturday. And she wanted to take a picture of my family, so that she could send the picture to her husband, who apparently lives in China. Weird, I know. Apparently the lady talks about our family a lot [to her husband] and so her husband wanted to see what we actually looked like. I think it was a pretty good picture...took it on the stairs leading to the upper level...Allen's face half covered by my dad's head (Allen and I was sitting behind my mom and dad)...both of us death staring at the camera...yup, I'd say that it was a pretty epic picture.
Second, I had bought a water bottle (wow my head is getting all screwy; first I typed "wottle bottle," then "ware botttle") at lunch and after finishing lunch, I went to the bathroom. I had forgotten my water bottle on the bathroom counter/near the sinks and hadn't noticed until seventh hour that I had lost it. I passed the bathroom that I had left the water bottle in while walking from seventh period to the buses, and suddenly remembered that I'd left it in the bathroom. So I went in to see if it was still there. Sure enough, no one had even touched it. No one would take a water bottle that's in the bathroom especially if it's opened, and people probably thought it belonged to someone who was using the bathroom, so it would be weird if the person just saw them taking the bottle. Which I doubt anyone would do. Although mildly interesting, there is no moral to this story and was all in all rather pointless.
Today was pretty relaxing too. In health, we got into groups (of supposedly 5-6, except there were groups of three and I was in a group of four, including myself) and read and presented (the pros and cons) about a fad diet. Such as the Atkins diet, South Beach Diet, the Zone Diet (which was my group's), the grapefruit diet, and weight watchers...While "working," some of the people in my group were talking about how they had to watch birthing videos. It was quite...graphic, and definitely more than I would ever want to hear. It was not pleasant at all, especially since it was in the morning. Come to think of it, I've never really had a Sex Ed. class. First through fourth grade - too young. 5-6 grade - still in the same "elementary school" and still too young. 7th grade - the school I attended had the class as a sixth grade class. 8th grade - gym and health combined, so we didn't really talk that much about it. Except we learned about STDs. Which my health/gym teacher, Mr. Pohl (spelling error maybe), said he "enjoyed" teaching. I hope we don't do too much on that in my current health class -_-
I also fell asleep for at least ten minutes t the start of class. We actually began class (as in actually learning, and the teacher actually talking) at 8:25. The second (tardy) bell rings at 8:16. I almost fell asleep during the movie we watched too. I think it was called "Overweight in America: Why Are We Getting So Fat?" LOL. Apparently one in five teenagers are overweight nowadays. How sad. Obesity is second only to smoking in leading causes of preventable death. Maybe soon to surpass it even. Almost the ratio of Chinese people to the world lol. Which was like 1 in 4.
Third hour...I can barely remember what we did in that class. Oh. We were given of an ap reading list and a list of the most common books on a college "recoommended reading list" or something like that...And we had to highlight the books that we've read. I knew a lot more of the books than I've actually read. I seriously need to read more though. Something which I thought impossible to do before since I used to read a little too much (i.e. staying up late to read). Oh well. Then I think we did a practice E.O.C.
Fourth hour...not much I can say except SECOND VIOLINS FAIL.
Fifth hour...we got papers about a certain significant figure during the time period we're studying (the "age of anxiety" or post-WWI) and basically gave a presentation-like thing in groups. Then made new groups and transferred the info we learned from the last group to the new group. I think there's a name for this kind of learning process, but I forgot what its called. My person was Carl Jung. He was a psychoanalyst and he believed that the ultimate goal in human life is to come to terms with conciousness and uncociousness. Whatever the heck that means. He apparently disagreed with Sigmund Freud somewhat and thought that freud wasn't giving enough credit to the role of religion. Or something like that. His followers (of his ideas) were called "Jungians"...
Sicth hour...boring as usual. Spanish is almost never not boring.
Seventh hour...we started chapter nine, which is about sequences...finished the homework in class. really easy. really boring though too.
All in all, today was really tiring, yet ironically, I can't sleep right now. I didn't have any homework today (well, technically yesterday) except for ap euro reading. I was thinking of sleeping instead of eating during lunch, but I hadn't really eaten anything for dinner the night before and didn't eat breakfast either, so I was pretty hungry.
I feel so lethargic. Dang. This is really going to stink since I'll still have to compensate for the missed hours of sleep on Sunday and today/tonight. Frickin.
Because life goes on...
