Well this year there are things that have come up and choices that I have made that are making me get a job to pay for a lot of things. I don't mind to work it's just the fact that it's telling me that I'm growing up and now I need to take responsibility for myself. I want the money but I know that money is going towards things that are big and won't be much to just spend on fun. I am also nervous about working because I feel that I would mess something up and get into trouble. There is so much with going to work. Your freedom is taken away and you have to schedule everything around when you work which might mean that you will have to miss somethings. Oh well this something I will have to get over and realize that I can't do it all and it's time for this job because I need it to go further in my future. 
This year the school is doing something a little different to promote fitness. We are doing a school wide mile run on May 6th. This event is called Project 88 and if you get your mile under 9:20 then you will receive a t-shirt. The mile starts on the practice field for the soccer and football team. Then you will run to Gemini all the way to the front of the school and around the back towards the track. Once you hit the track you will do one lap and that will be the finish for the mile. Everyone at the school is encouraged to participate and a lot of the gym classes are making it extra credit to run. I think this is a great way to get kids into exercising because we have a large amount of students that are over weight. I know as a runner, exercise is important to stay healthy and to keep your heart in good condition.
We have all been accusesed of something that we know we didn't do. Well the time that I got blamed for doing something it caused me to eat soap. The story is of my sister telling my grandmother a lie. She said that I said a cuss word at her which wasn't true at all, it just sounded like one. Of course with my sister being the youngest she always got her way and won at everything. My grandmother wouldn't believe me so instead of taking my sister's side she punished both of us. She worned us that if one of us didn't tell the truth she was going to wash our mouths with soap. I knew I didn't say it but sister wouldn't confess that I really didn't say it so we both got soap in our mouths. I think that people today get the heat for things they don't do all the time but it's hard to take just ones side because you don't know the full story. Frankenstein right now is going through that because the creation is blamed for everything just because he is a monster like figure. He has gotten tired of getting all the blame so he wants to become more human like and that's why he starts to study the De Lacey's. This also goes hand in hand with being prejudice.
Have you ever had that week when you are just worn out and seem tired all the time? Well that has happened to me recently over the past few weeks. Everything that is going on my life right now has made me stressed and overwhelmed. I think being stressed isn't healthy and makes you worn down easily. I have been sleeping a lot these past weeks and really down. I know that I am sleeping at night and even taking naps during the day. Which I have been known to sleep a lot but not this much. I think for me I just need to give it some time and rest and get back to my old self. I hope as this weekend comes I can catch up on some sleep that I have been missing. 
During this month on the 12th I celebrated my 18th Birthday. I didn't really do much the actual weekend of my brithday but the next week and I did do something. My orginal plan was to go over to my boyfriends to watch a movie but things were changed a bit. While on our way to his house he got a call from a friend needing him to come by to get a book. Well, this is really not what I wanted to do but I told him it was fine. So we get to the house and she comes out and invites us both in. As we walk in I make my way to the kitchen and at that time everyone popped out behind stuff yelling SURPRISE!! It was definaltly a surprise. We just hungout and played games. We sat around the fire and talked and played the game "things." This was my first surprise party and I enjoyed it. So my birthday was great and was spent with people I love. 
The book Frankenstein at this point is really hard to get into. The first few chapters are really boring and just gives background information. I am hoping as I continue to read it will get more interseting. I know Mrs. McDaniel has talked highly of this book so it should be a good one. The first Chapter gives the family decription and it kind of reminds me of my own family life. Victor's dad takes in his niece after his sister dies and it relates back to my family because we have family members living with each other for different reasons. I like the language that Frankenstein is written in, I know at times it might be confusing but it allows you to go deeper into what the author is saying. So, I am excited to see who Victor becomes later in the book.
