This coming up school year is my first year of high school. I have to admit i am a little nervous. Growing up, homework was really easy for me, I finished everything really fast and got really good grades. When I hit 7th grade I got my first F and wasn’t trying in school at all. Last year I did pretty good in school, but I didn’t put my best effort into getting good grades. But I passed. I was lucky that it didn’t count for anything. But this year and the next four years of my life will count on my collage application. I plan to go to collage and hopefully in California. Well anyway I am nervous that I wont do well and concentrate. I need to get straight A’s to get a scholarship. If you do not go to collage these days, there is no chance that you will get a decent job. I also don’t know if I should continue playing the clarinet. I enjoy playing in concerts on the final peice, when the whole band plays together. I am taking it this year in 9th grade. And it would be helpful on my collage application. No matter what I want to continue taking private lessons, outside of school. I am just not sure if I should continue taking band in school. Because what I hope to do is to be able to graduate when I am in the 11th grade. I won’t graduate then but i want to be able to, so that my senior year I can take fun classes and just relax before I go to collage. Because I am sure collage is really difficult to do and it takes hard work so that would be cool to relax for a year. But if I take band that takes out one of my classes during the day when I could be taking a recuired class. But when I am in 12th grade I can’t take band if I haven’t done it in the last three years. And I might regret not taking band. Oh well I am sure I will do the right thing when I decide what to do.

Dear diary,                                   July 20,07

Today was a nice day. I spent most of the day looking at old pictures of my mother when she was young. I was shocked because some of the them I thought they were of me. I am going to borrow all of my Nana’s pictures and scan them so that I have a copy. I looked at my mom’s baby book and I bet i know more about her as a baby than she does. Lately I have been very interested in finding out what it was like for my parents growing up. When I was in New Mexico i asked my Granny many questions about my Dad. So as soon as my Nana got home from work I started questioning her about what my mom was like when she was young and what it was like raising her. It was interesting. Today I also wrote down all the songs I want to get from itunes. I am excited to get ho,e to buy them. I cant buy them at my Nana’s because you cant have more than one library so if I bought them on her computer I would have to erase all the other songs on my ipod and I couldn’t have them both. That is what I hate about itunes because you cant always get on that computer. You should have a login name and pass word and than all your songs pop up! That would be good! Well that was my super exciting day!

love,

1.  
   1. The last few days i have been thinking about my pet peeves. I thought I had a ton but after trying to think of every single one I really didn’t have that many.

my pet peeves:

1. It drives me crazy when people pretend to be dumb.
2. I hate when people ask if you know what something means, you say YES and they tell you what it means anyway like they think your stupid.
3. I hate when i have to ask some one 20 different questions to get one answer.
4. Being interrupted.
5. People ignoring you.
6. having to repeat yourself if some one interupted you to talk to some one else while you were talking to them.
7. People who complain about everything.
8. people who blaim everyone else for their problems.
9. people who complain about something and than dont want to change the situation and not try something new so that wont happen.

well those are my pet peeves. I will try not to be to mad if people do any of them. because I know I probably do some these thing.

Today my Nana’s boyfriend Jesse took me to the mall to go shopping. I insisted him not to buy me anything at all. But Jesse insisted that he did. He said it is like having a grandpa without him being married to my nana. I disagree, even if he did marry my nana he wouldn’t be my grandpa ever. My mom and I have had this conversation many times. We want my nana to be happy and I hope she does marry Jesse because I don’t want her to be alone. But just because Jesse is in my nana’s life doesn’t mean he is in mine. Nothing against him he’s a nice guy but he just isn’t my grandpa. And maybe i will learn to love him or maybe i wont, but he shouldn’t expect me to. Sometimes i think that he does expect me to give him a hug and say that i love him like he has come up to me and given me hugs, and said that he loves me, but i do not feel the same. My sister and my mom give him hugs goodbye but i dont want to do that. And i wont untill i am ready or untill i feel like it. He has noticed that i am not going to give him a hug yet so he has backed off and i respect that. He has been dating my Nana for about three years now. That is a long time. They should get married but for what my Nana has told me is that he is clingy and she doesnt want to be tied to him if they get married and not have anytime alone with me or my sister without him around. I agree with her, she should be able to go do her own thing for a few hours without him with her. Well it is none of my business what my Nana decides to do, whatever she wants i am here to back her up on it. that was my day!

love,

Today my family and I went and saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. My sister thought it was okay, my mother really liked it, and my dad and I sorta agree on that it wasn’t very good. My dad pointed out that he didn’t like it because Harry Potter (to him) is about him and his friends going to school, learning magic, playing Quiddage matches, the house points and things like that, and than have a little mystery beyond all that,  but they did nothing of that in this movie. I disliked it because Harry Potter is a wimp. He has all these chances to kill Valdamort but he thinks that he is turning into a bad person. I mean Valdamort killed Harry’s parents and keeps coming back to kill Harry. The part i hated the most was at the end Harry was telling Dumbledore that both him and Valdamort couldn’t live so that one had to kill the other. I was just like HELLO isn’t that what you have been trying to do the past four years!!! Well anyway Daniel Radcliffe has changed so much from the first movie. There is a scene where it shows him in the first movie and than in this last movie and oh boy he has grown up! Well that was my day!

love,

Tomorrow my family and I are going to go see Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix. I hope it is good. I am excited about seeing my dad; I haven’t been home to see him. So I miss him. I saw my mom and my sister today when I went to my clarinet lesson and they had their weight watchers meeting! I am so proud of them, my mother lost 5 pounds and my sister lost 1 pound in one week! my Nana and my aunt Berta also go with them every  week to their weight watchers meeting so my Nana lost 2.5 pounds, and this was my aunt Berta’s first week and she weighed 13 pounds under of what she thought she weighed so it is like she lost 13 pounds. My mom and I had an interesting conversation about food also. When it comes to food I don’t belong in my family. I am so picky about the food I eat and I dislike everything that my family likes. I can’t stand the taste of cheese or spaghetti sauce or root beer flavored candy or teriyaki sauce or tortillas. I don’t like anything that has that stuff on it. I just thought it was interesting. I also would rather starve than have to cook something. I hate cooking. The only thing I make is jiffy cornbread. And it is pretty good. But I am too lazy to make myself Mac and cheese or some soup. But I don’t care. Ha-ha. Well I hope Harry Potter is going to be good. A lot of people said it is. I think that the books are super boring but the movies are pretty good. My favorite movie so far was the second one, the movie that featured the snake. I thought that was a good movie. Well that was my day.

Love,

I am spending a week at my Nana’s house to get away for awhile. I got up had a bowl of ice cream and was watching TV, having a good ol’ time and my Nana’s boyfriend Jesse asks if I want to go to his house to swim. So I went over and swam for awhile and tried to get a tan. I am still whiter than white. lol! No I have a pretty good tan. Then my Nana calls and says that she wants to get something to eat. We all went to chilies for dinner. It was good. Then I go back to Jesse’s to play some pin ball. I win of course! I won 3 games and Jesse only won 2. So over all I win. Then I went back to my Nana’s house and my Nana tells me to call my sister because she called so I call my house just to find out that my hermit crab is dead! :( Every time I leave my house for a week or so one of my animals dies! It is so on fair!!! I left for 2 weeks to go visit my family in New Mexico, when I come back my gerbil Butterscotch wont let me hold her. Every time I tried to pick her up she bit me. She died. I left to go somewhere for a week and I come back the next day my fish Bruce is dead! Now I leave for one day and my crab dies! So not kool! Well that was my day!

Love,

Well yesterday my sister, my dad, and my dad’s best friend Gordon and I were up all night setting up our new pool. Well we have had it for two years but we have just now set it up. I am thrilled! It is so nice. I had to go in it today because the chlorine fell out of the holder and it could have ruined the liner. Well anyway it was nice because it is so hot here, it is unbelievable. I can’t wait to get a tan and be swimming in it! yippiekiay!

Today we finally got my bank account set up today after I went to the dentist. The dentist said I was doing everything right with my teeth! I was so happy! Well anyway back to the bank account thing…. we got it set up but we didn’t have our photo id with us so we have to go back in and put our names on it, right now my dads name is on the account. I am going to save my money for awhile unless there is something I need or really want. If I save my 170 dollars a month I will have a lot of money that way in case their is an emergency I will have plenty of money! Ha-ha! I am so excited! The only thing is I am not good with saving money. I am going to try my hardest! Well that was my day!

Today my mom, my sister, my Nana, and I saw Ratatouille. My mom and sister really liked it and thought it was really funny. My Nana thought it was long and she fell asleep during it. I thought it was boring in the beginning, and took awhile to get the story started. I agree with my sister and mom that it was very funny but I also agree with my Nana that it was long. I want to see license to wed next weekend. Thursday I am getting another bank account. I had one before but it didn’t work out so my parents and I are trying it again, so that I learn how to manage my money. Last time I only got $100 a month this time I am getting $170 a month. yay! I am so excited. Well that was my day.

Love,
