A Word about FRESHMAN

Okay, I haven't updated my blog since last summer, practically a year ago. But, I am (somewhat) more responsible, so I plan on keeping up with it this time.

      

 I am going to describe a small scenario...

           You're walking to the store to buy some icecream for your mom. (She is pregnant, and therefore craving icecream, and therefore violent.) You notice a big pit covering most of the road leading up to the store. Well, you have three options: you could go home, you could walk into the pit and call for help, or, you could find another way around the pit.
Since we're moving on to high school, I'm going to talk about FRESHMAN.

Dictionary definition (Dd): [noun]1. a beginner; novice 2. a student in the ninth grade in high school, or one in the first year of college. [adj] of or for first-year students. famous syn: freshmeat.

Of course, it's the same old problem: freshman being traumatized, beat up, and "scarred for life". It's like what happens in movies: people at the top fall to the pits. From reigning superiority in middle school to lint on somone's shoe. Sad, but part of the process. The only comfort in all of this is that everyone has to do it. I would love to say that it's not true, we're all equal, and that the freshman hazing never happens outside of movies. However, this blog does not support, encourage, or create fairy tales for those looking for Nothing But the Truth. Could I tell you how to survive freshman year? Pshh, NO-I haven't even been there myself!
But I did put up a link with some tips from someone more experienced.

                   Going back to the story, let's say, you decided to go home. As soon as you open the door without icecream in hand, a china dish goes flying over your head. A chair aimed for your abdomen goes crashing into the wall as you run up the stairs and lock yourself in your room. Then you realize that you wanted some icecream...you WANTED that Rocky Road! (Or Strawberry Delight or Cookies n' Cream, whatever.) With your mom raging downstairs, scaring your poor father to death, you regret not attempting to surpass that pit...of course this whole scenario symbolizes your high school experience. The pit describes your fall, which I described earlier. If you think you can't take high school, give up, and go home, you're going to regret it. Why-because the icecream symbolizes the friendship, good times, high school memories, and diploma that you can obtain. And you WANT that icecream! "I scream for icecream" takes on a whole new meaning. Plus, the rampaging mother scene symbolizes the hell you and others will have to go through if you don't finish high school and get your credits. Okay, no more sap!

           Then let's say you try to walk around it, or worse, do a running jump, but fall in anyway. It's going to hurt, but eventually you'll either be able to climb out or someone will help you. When you get to the store and buy your icecream, you find that it was worth it..especially on a hot day like this. So obviously, you're going to try and avoid freshman turmoil and suffering, but you eventually will get a dose of it. No matter how tragic, horrible, or humiliating it seems, the icecream will be well worth it. I can't tell you (obviously) the satisfaction of walking by the kids who didn't get the icecream for whatever reason. You will be glad you got your diploma, knowledge, and friendships in a cold world like this...

           Now you're probably thinking it would be pretty easy to just walk around the pit without falling in. You're right. In that scenario, you could totally do that. But when talking about the freshman experience, it's easier said than done. I wish everyone good luck with this school year wherever they are, freshman or not. :)

GSM and SMS and SMS

Ok so they built a new school in Loganville and they called it Midway Middle. So all the people who knew they were going to be there next year were pretty psyched. And the kids that had to stay at Snellville Middle were unfortunate. New building, better teachers, cooler school, lockers in the hallways, better cafeteria food etc. Boy, were we wrong.

Grace Snell Middle
They decided to call it Grace Snell Middle. Why? Because
someone with loads of money got to name it. And I saw this
thing going downhill. Midway sounded soooo much cooler.
New building, sure. Better teachers? NO. We're getting a lot
of the same ones from Snellville Middle that are transferring
over there with us. Cooler school? Maybe, cus it's new. But
I'm still pissed about the name. Lockers in the hallways? LIE.
*sigh* I was looking forward to that. Better cafeteria food?
As IF. It's not changing, people. And, all that new tech stuff
we received at SMS? None of it's going to be at Grace Snell.
And we won't be able to take tests and reviews with the
remote thingies! And of course, our mascot is a comet.
Again. The only plus is for us eighth graders 'cause
we get to rule the new school and also.....no TRAILERS!
But we're gonna be just as confused and new and the sixth
and seventh graders...smh. But Grace Snell is still better than
Snellville Middle. :P

Snellville Middle
You guys thought you were the unlucky ones. Staying at this
old school while your friends get to go to this new polished
school with better everything. Wrong. You keep the cool
technology, get to intimidate new sixth graders, and you
don't even get a summer reading list! And yet the people
going to new school get one. How unfair is that?? I tried
to get the Hunger Games because it sounds kind of
interesting, you know, eliminating people in real life. And
there was like 150-something requests! So my two books
are the Claudette Colvin one and Fahrenheit 451.

Shiloh Middle School
Okay well, I didn't forget the other SMS. The few kids that I know
who are going to Shiloh,......good luck. I'll check a week after school
has started to see if you're still attatched. Lol, JK I'm sure its not that
bad. I know you got the sucky part of the deal, but hopefully, if you're
in eighth grade, it'll pass by quickly and less painfully. Haha like a shot!

But there is one good thing about all of this. Next year, all of us (or most of us) are going to reunite at South Gwinnett!! We'll all be in high school, DRIVE, date, go to prom, and graduate together. That's as happy as it's going to get. The End.

My Bipolar Name Changing

Throughout the year of 2009-2010, I've constantly changed my name. And for some reason, no one understands. So, I'm going to clear it up. Right now.

We're gonna start from my real name.


Olivia

meaning: olive tree

-Olivia is a nice name. That's what my mother named me.

But I don't want 'O' to be my first initial. (I like 'Alivia'

better) And the book about Olivia the pig was bad enough.

Then they made it a show on Nick Jr. So while I was in the

computer lab in Mass Comp, Alicia and I found a site called

thinkbabynames.com so everyone started changing their

names. Alicia changed hers to Alyssa, Krystal changed hers

to Kristabelle, I think Julie became Jolie, Kelsey became

Chelsey, Makenna became Madonna, and I know we did

one for Bethany too, but I sorta forgot. Sorry, Bethany...and

so at first I changed mine to Olivette, but it was just all wrong

and stuff so I went with Lexi. Everyone said there was no 'Lexi'

in 'Olivia'. YES. There is. It's the 'L' in 'Olivia'.

Lexi

meaning: protector or defender

-Lexi sounded like a pretty good name at the time. And the

'L' was pretty because the 'exi' part looked nice on top of the

bottom L line. Basically, I liked how it looked. It was

okay, but no one really accepted it and some guys in seventh

period (I think it was Femi and Irshaad) said it was a stripper

name. And the 'ie' part at the end is for cheery, happy people.

Like Amy or Dorie or Sally. So I made a slight change at the end.

Lexus Honda Ford Car Lady

meaning: lexus honda ford car

-At first it was just Lexus. But then Alicia told me that there

was a car called the Lexus so she started calling me Lexus

Honda Ford Car Lady. At first, I was in denial, but then

I realized something very important. It was catchyyyyy.

So I use that name on my blog. Because it's different. And

you're not gonna find another Lexus Honda Ford Car Lady

unless you take it in a different way. Like if you grow up

and go looking for a car and a lady tries to sell you a Lexus

Honda Ford Car.............

Peanut Butter n' Jelly Sandwich

meaning: peanut butter n' jelly sandwich

-.................I don't know. It sounded cool at the time so

I started using that name until I found out that it was already

"taken". Which I still don't think is fair. You can't just go,

no that's my name, when you're still having people call you

by your real name....smhhhhh people these days. Actually,

I don't even remember who it was.......

Kairamelle

meaning: caramel

-Well I spelled it differently to be original, but it is

basically came from caramel. I briefly liked it during

bus call. But that's technically taken too because one of

Karah's nicknames is 'Karamel' so I took the courtesy

of changing again.

Karvelle

meaning: a NY icecream store

-Okay that's my alternate name on Facebook. It's

based on the ice cream store called 'Carvel', that

I was hoping no one knew about since it was in

NY and we were in GA......but apparentely they did.

I'm not a fattie, and I'm not obsessed with food. It's

jusst that a lot of junk food have cute names. So I

don't know, maybe I'll go back to Lexus. I'm going

through name puberty lol.......don't comment on that.

So that is the story of my name transition.

A Different Look at Life: Penguins and Humans Find a Bonding Moment

A Different Look at Life: Penguins and Humans Find a Bonding Moment

Penguins and Humans Find a Bonding Moment

Pants on the ground, pants on the ground lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground with the gold in your mouth, had turned sideways pants hit the ground call yourself a cool cat lookin' like a fool walkin' to town with your pants on the ground

Everyone saw Larry Platt on American Idol

performing that song. And it was funny. But

I'm really going to get into the concept of

pants on the ground. And, like, analyze it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkeAzqhlkNk

 

A lot of people around America sag their pants. But if you're gonna do it, do it right!

Basic Rules in the Art of Pants Saggery:

1)Your pants are not supposed to be all the

way down at your ankles. No one wants

to see your hairy legs. And you're only

supposed to sag a little bit. In other words,

don't show a full moon. And people

shouldn't remember what color underwear

your wearing..........or else you did it wrong.

See? Partly. Not....................full

 

2)Here's a big one: Girls are NOT

supposed to sag. It's disgusting. You

have no idea how many times I see that at

Walmart! And it's even worse when you're

not even wearing underwear! GOOOSH

no one wants to see your butt crack! Man

I swear,I was blinded for ten minutes

after........such horrible things can happen

while you're innocently looking for a book

at the library. Of all places for it happen.

The library.

3)With your pants sagging, you sorta have to

walk like a penguin. And it's a very slow

process. I understand that you want to keep

your swag on, but I gotta get to class. So

maybe you should, like, practice waddling

at home before you become that annoying

car at the front that's driving at two miles an

hour. Because I'm the Lexus Honda Ford

car that's gonna run you over.

 

Breaking of the Rules:

Mr. Kelly's fifth period should remember this one.

We were walking through the hall to the trailers.

Then this white kid comes penguin waddling

down the hall beside us and his whole blue

underwear was on display, which was really

stupid because Mr. Kelly immediately pulled

him over like the pants police. As I said, if you're

gonna sag, only sag it a little bit.

Okay well I already gave a mini summary, but

anyway. Okay so I was at the library looking for

some books. You know, teenage drama and stuff.

Then I went to the DVD section with some skittles

and when I turned around, there was some woman

bending over with her butt in the air, and I was soo

grossed out!! It's like, OMG WTF?????? And

people were like, staring. How can you stare at it

that long??? I mean, maybe I'm speaking for myself

when I say it's nasty because apparently some might

like it.......so anyway, I was shocked and had a few

problems seeing so I almost missed the vending

machine.....as if.

This last one, no one broke the rules. I'm just saying

that walking behind saggers is funny because they

have to walk weird to keep their pants up (like

penguins). It's like Happy Feet with skinny j's.

Actually you know what??? I'm gonna

call them waddlers!
