Hey team today at school I wasn't really excited because once I got their not much later did this boy just get sooo mad for no reson at me and my friend.I was super mad because it happens almost everyday. Sometimes we froget about other times we talk to him about it. But me and my friend get the same results.Like Serena said sometimes I wish like I was in my own little city.

People at my School (WARNING: Very Long)
So today on the bus I overheard a girl talking about some REALLY mean stuff about this boy on my bus. I spoke up because this girl pushed him once into a metal pillar. She told me it was none of my business and that I was being mean by listening to her conversation (even though she was just talking not letting the 1st grader she was talking to talk herself.) I was silent until I came home.
I didn't really enjoy my afternoon because today we had music, the special I didn't really get, and our music teacher gave us bad news about the talent show, then made us play a song our recorders, which has lots of high notes that hurt my ears. My friend next to me broke down because our music teacher told her she couldn't sing her song because it was not 'age-appropriate' so she had to pick a totally different song. It was a good song that was appropriate to all ages, and she had been practicing that song all month. And the thing that made it worst, she had to give her a different song by tomorrow. I was slowly breaking in the inside as well.
In music class and regular class, I am surrounded by boys I don't really like, and are always getting into trouble. They give me headaches when they talk when they are not suppose to and make inappropriate comments to everything the teacher says. I try everything to try and make them stop. I tell them repeatedly to stop, ignoring them, even telling the teacher, but they always forget. I want to move, I even wrote a note on my test to my teacher telling him to move me so I can focus in class. They really annoy me when I am working on something really important in class, like my animal writing. Everyone is finish with their rough draft, while I am not even close to being finished. They bother me about things that are really dumb or random and at the end, I never finish.
On Monday, I talked to the other girl if she got into ACMA and she said she's back on the waiting list. There was a lot of people in the dance part and my mom told me it was really close. There was a lot of talented people. I really wanted to help her, but I didn't know how. I wanted to help all of them. The mean girl to be nicer to others, my friend with her song, the boys to be more polite and respectful, and my friend to get into ACMA. And some others too, like my teacher who forgets certain things and my music teacher to try to tell people earlier. Sometimes I wish I could be in my little city I made. In my city, people treat each other like if they were in their shoes, and they would be respectful, kind, and thoughtful about others. And there would be schools that open at 9:00 AM.
I really hope for the best for those people. I thought of them when my brother and sister were fighting over toothpaste or something and when I looked at my little city in a jar. Sorry if this is really long, but I really needed to say something because all of this happens about everyday, and it WON'T STOP no matter how hard I try and I am sick of it. I just want to scream! I want to just skip school because of this. Luckily, thinking about my friends and funny videos helps keeps me from tearing my hair out and screaming in their face. Writing and martial arts helps me too. I write about my struggles and martial arts helps me clear my mind and think about the thinks happening now. That's probably why I blog a lot. I have sharp hearing sometimes and can hear the small things and understand what or how the problem can be solved.

Hitting the Stairs
Hi all,
With so many things going on during the week, from work to taking care of our kids, I often struggle to plan regular "workout time" -- especially cardio exercise like running or bicycling. I'm trying to get better about this, but in the meantime, I've also looked for ways to fit shorter bursts of cardio into my regular daily routine. Last week, one of my co-workers sent an email challenging all of us in the office to start using the stairs instead of the elevator. I thought, "D'uh -- I could do THAT!" So that's now on my list.

Comic Con and Green Power Ranger Work-out!
This past weekend, I was able to go with my dad and brother to the Portland Comic-Con. This was first one that they held in Oregon. I got to meet with Michael Rooker aka Harper from Call of Duty. He was nice and dad took a picture of us with him. Also, got to see what my dad calls the "Fonz" but he is before my time. :)
Finally, I got to go on a neutral karate/muy thai class led by Jason David Frank, aka Tommy from the Power Rangers. It was fun and cool to see a different style. I learned what he calls 3 pushes which is two blocks and a palm strike to the chest to defend yourself. He also taught how to defend against the push by blocking it at first then grabbing head and then kneeing to the chest. I thought he was a good teacher. He was pretty funny and had a great time learning from him. Even though he taught some great moves, he emphasized living the martials arts lifestyle by being disciplined, having a great attitude, and doing your ki-ups from your belly and not your chest.
I had a blast at the Comic Con. I also saw some of my Aim High friends and hope to see you in next year's con because I want to go again in 2014!

-Do or Do Not!
I have let time slip by.
This is my test.
The fact that I am testing is now setting upon me.
This is my test.
I was more in shape last year than I am this year.
This is my test.
I have to prove I can be on par with my mentors although I am not there yet.
This is my test.
I have to run 9.3 miles in two weeks when I can only run 3 now.
This is my test.
I don't have time, something my teenage attitude tells me often.
Then why am I testing if I am so far behind?
Because the rut I have fallen into is NOT okay and not worthy of a third degree.
This is my test.
This changes now.
