3-4 week of 3rd quarter

this week, my period was working Music after CCTV. Everything went smoothly with the shifts and etc, also I tried to keep my period on task with the yearbook and banners. Also, I could say that they've been keeping on task with AR too by themselves without me reminding them. My group still impresses me till this day, they give me less reasons to worry about them. But there is one that still needs to be kept an eye on, but she gets the job done also. Anyways, the only thing that I could recall from this week was that I took my AVID pictures, I'm in the 3rd row on the 3rd of the left side of the picture. There was a smaller avid class than last year because there was so much of us that we were rearranged in another area on the side of the stage. Throughout this week, I could say that my classes were okay for now as I had to sacrifice some of my free time dedicated to my class work. But I really need to turn in my missing assignments so I can get the grade for it rather than having minus points. Everything has been the same ish so far, just the testing is starting to come up a lot now. so I'm not so happy with the amount of boredom I'll be given. But other than that, I've been going to track and my body hasn't been sore lately but I'm currently am from the gym so hopefully it doesn't effect me next practices. Also, I'm not ready for the everyday typa deal of practice except for Wednesday.

highlight of the week would be on Tuesday. I had most of my free time that day so I got to spend it with good people then went cruising at my boyfriend's house after. I stayed for a few hours afterschool like 4 more and we finished our hw then played a few games ahaha, yes. but other than that, I was pretty tired that day.

lesson learned would be to apply my own words to myself. I tell people to do what needs to be done, like I'm a reminder for them but then I don't do the same for myself. I'm slowly being congested with work so I barely have free time and I'm starting to slack. I told myself I wasn't gonna procrastinate so I need to listen to myself and do whatever needs to be done to improve where I use to be.

this blog is a late one, again. My apologies to the lateness of this blog, I just barely have time to finish it with the amount of work I have to do and the times when I'm out with my family without having wifi. But anyways, last week my period was working CCTV, I went on a few days with Kaya and that was it since I let a few more people go twice. This week, I would say it was a little hectic than I expected it to be. I gained a new responsibility of counting ID's with Chad, the other president which is of 8th grade class. But anyways, my class consisted of tests, reviews, and in the making of projects to summarize it all up. I had to take a few tests for Social Studies that was from the text book which was sorta hard to do since not all of us got the concept of what specific piece of evidence from the text that would support our answer. Also, in Algebra, we've been going through easy reviews based on of CLT and distribution. CLT stands for Combine Like terms, we learned this last year so we brought it back to go over the new things we'll be learning about. I never had a problem with any of them, since it was really easy to finish and understand. Then in science English, and AVID we've been working on projects for the past class days throughout last week, all of them were due this week except for English. English we're sorta behind of things since my class took awhile on the journal #2 requirement. For AVID, Mrs. Wert is making us do a portfolio thing again based on our life turned into an autobiography essay. when I mean by 'life', I mean that we have to explain vividly our past/present/future. This project took us about a week to estimate. Then for science, it was started it on Thursday last week then it was due yesterday. So basically it was more of a get-things-together-to-finish typa week.

highlight would be track practice on Thursday, that was a fun practice with little bit of people again. We did new sprints exercises and incorporated new warm up routines to help get ready for the real practice since we're just conditioning for now. But anyways, that practice was fun because we were basically racing each other and my line caught up to the row in front of us which meant that the first row had to run the same thing again for losing.

lesson learned would be procrastinating will catch up to you in a short amount of time. Because of me focusing on other work, I never really gave attention to the small amount of work that meant a lot to my specific class. So to specify, me lacking the ability of being on task isn't going so well when I'm tryna be convenient to everyone when they need help with YB and etc. But therefore, I am a group leader to guide them how to do what in order to get the job done. 

    

3 day weekend!!!

this week has been somewhat a hassle, trying to keep up with everything. I've been tryna read into my schedule but lately I haven't had the time to which is frustrating me because now we have weekly goals. Not only that but grades are being Inputted immediately which means if I have any work to do that's worth a grade, I can't start off the new quarter with bad grades and I already did that by delaying my last weekly blog and taking some of my paperwork home with me after I went over it with the teacher. Also trying to get up early like I use to but I'm still trying my best to get my sleep schedule back on track, although I fall asleep around 12 ish due to work. But goddamn, some of my work I don't even finish and I forget to do it and turn it in which is a bad habit. In fact, by this weekend imma try and straighten everything out. Yes, I'm ranting in my blog about my week because I realized the terrible stuff that has happened with my education stuff despite the fact I'm irritated right now because of my family. I have to get back at the habit of being able to multi-task because apparently I'm lacking that ability right now. Anyways, this week my period and I had ID's which means I'll have CCTV next week. Not many new students came to ilima this week, just a few like maybe 2-3? which meant we had tours to do and I like doing tours because I get to meet new people and practice speaking to more people directly. other than my work, things outside of school has been blasè.

highlight of my week would be today, I would say today because I got to go to a volleyball game for women's of UH. Although UH lost, it was such a close  game and very antsy type. They kept doing turn overs and I just couldn't watch the very last few minutes/seconds because they literally tied last minute until riverside did a 3-pointer. it was an intense game tbh although I don't really watch basketball and I'm not really into it. But other than that, I enjoy watching games in person rather than from the TV because I can lose interest fast.

lesson learned would be to find calmness. I've been pretty hectic this week to start off the quarter due to amount of work and my priorities. They've been interfering with each other at the most unsettling times which is frustrating me. But it's life and I have to peace within this so I just breath in and out and just get the job done.

1st blog of 3rd quarter

so we finally got back to school which was on the 6th of January, Wednesday. Thank god it was Wednesday because I wasn't planning on staying later because obviously I would be super tired due to my sleep schedule since it's really whack now. Anyways, we only had three days of school so my group had music to start off the first week of school back of 2016. to start off the week, it wasn't as hectic as i thought it would be but we did start working on a few projects for AVID, English and Social studies. My other classes was just chilling out to give us a break to warm up for the rest of the quarter. Also, we started on one of the orientation dances which was Gabby's so we've been practicing that during homeroom since everyone is there. School has been small kine stressing me out due to early projects we just got to instead of taking a little break to adjust to the school system again. 

highlight of the week would be the first day back. I would say the first day back because I got to reunite with everyone and it was just good vibes all around that day to see how happy everyone was to see each other. Plus I got to play music that morning so it got me in the mood to be energetic and happy. 

lesson learned would be to practice things. In my opinion, I need to practice more to get good at things I'm starting off new to. Such as dancing, whenever I'm assigned to do doing a part, I should start practicing those moves to get better at the way I perform. Practice makes it perfect.

If I were to sum up my whole 2nd quarter, I would say it caused me to feel happy, shocked, hurt (mentally), relieved & stressed. I learned so many things this quarter and a lot actually happened to end the 1st semester, (mentally hurt event in my 2nd quarter) sadly there was one thing I wish I could change and that was to get back my best friend that once left me for somebody else because they were guilty of having unstoppable emotions for that "somebody". The whole dynamics of this quarter, I felt as if I lost my closest friends while they turned their back on me for something bigger, I hardly go out on adventures after school anymore or I just sit back at someone's house till my parents pick me up. (stressed event-) I lacked in so many things this quarter but that didn't get in the way of me still perfecting my group to be the way they should be later on, I believe my 7th graders are ready to become group leaders by the time they need to apply again. Also, I've been trying to keep up with my responsibilities and my priorities but I've been failing at multi-tasking. I apologize to anyone in leadership if I felt rushed into doing something important which resulted me to be a b*tch to them at the school activity. With the amount of work being piled on us, as always, its been procrastinating which needs to stop because it'll happen again where I'll have to stay up all night just to finish all my overdue assignments. In my opinion, I've been focused on things that shouldn't come before my education, So I need to realize what's going on that is necessary or unnecessary. That sorta explains all my late work or laziness to do an assignment, and btw I'm the type of person who does my work at home because I do my best quality there. (relieved event-) Where I got to the point that I can finally relax and stay calm would be the last few days of school because I finished all my work that was piled on me & pulled through a last minute thing for a project. Which meant I had no homework for the leftover days & had time to catch up on my TV shows. (shocked event-)  Through this quarter, I'm actually really surprise at the way I've been trying to change myself for the better, left a good friend because they did me wrong on so many levels then still has the nerve to bring up the situation to people that I have to explain she's the wrong one, also I met someone who changed my whole perspective on 'desire' & 'love', staying out of drama with a positive attitude while I hate in silence, been helping others lately, and etc. I hope all of that continues for me honestly because I liked the way I wasn't involved into someone I shouldn't be &I I involved myself into the right things. But what really annoys me is this one person I known ever since 7th grade, and she's been such a total b*tch to me lately telling few of my secrets to her "new" close friends and insulting me, making me feel bad, one day I'll tell her straight up that I don't like her negative attitude in a nicely way to show respect for her to stop. (happy-) This is basically what motivated me to come to school & was literally my distraction to bunch of things. I knew this guy for awhile, we were talking but it didn't end well because he hurt me mentally and emotionally last year which resulted me into hating him for what he did to me. But we've been talking over the summer a little and during break, so we got closer and ended up growing strong feelings for each other. you'll probably think "what are you thinking?! going back to the guy who broke your heart!?", but the thing is I've always had a thing for him even though he hurt me. I just wish he had the opportunity to be with me at that time but he decided to leave me, but it doesn't bother me because I'm happy he did because without the incident I wouldn't be with him this present day, still loving him hard. He changed my whole dynamics on what 'love' was, I felt every possible emotion there is to feeling happy. I'll still do anything for him, he's my best friend. Like I always live up to, "things happen for a reason". that's sorta my whole 2nd quarter within a paragraph I guess. 

highlights this quarter would be getting the boy I've always wanted, adventured with a few of my elementary friends, been focused on school lately which kept my 4.0 streak for the 1st semester, and just ultimately smiling because although I think life is terrible it's just great mannnn. Lowlights of the quarter would be not getting my best friend back, scolding some of the 7th graders for not thinking wisely of their actions, sacrificing majority of my free time to do (a) school event(s), and for lacking in making new friends, also having the eagerness to adventure but couldn't. 

lesson learned of the quarter is that "things happen for a reason". I believe things result in your life due to what plan God has for you, although I don't go church anymore lol I still think of him as a very important person who helps me get through my hard times. I made regrets, mistakes, accomplishments, and etc, and it's all because I'm living my life the way I chose to. As long as I'm learning from my mistakes and regrets, I'll better myself each day. It'll take time to get where I want to be in life, and that's okay because I'll get to experience my growth physically and mentally. Never let a day go by of you not doing something that'll change you for the better. 

I have a few things I wanted to improve myself on to start off the new year and 2nd semester. I need to get better at prioritizing my responsibilities, to stop procrastinating, extract the negativity from my life, and to just make friends with new people that'll accept me for who I am. Is there anything that I'll like to change or improve in the leadership classroom? always, I need to get back up at being creative with the way I handle things, I need to come to school earlier like I use to, to be on time and set a better example of my 7th graders every time.
