growing growing gone

My mom took me shopping today! She was actually super nice about it. I thought she would be annoyed that I needed so many new clothes. I actually really wanted them but she said I needed them too. I was sort of disappointed because I saw the coolest green leather jacket and I think my mom was considering buying it for me but the arms on the jacket were WAY WAY too short. Like how does this even happen? It fit my EVERYWHERE but...not the arms! Ugh. I also got new jeans but I can't wear them to school tomorrow. My mom said that the pant legs are too long and dragging on the ground and she has to hem them. I like how they drag but that did annoy my mom and so the cool jeans are stuck in the laundry room.

I don't wear the same size clothes as my friends. It's really weird. I am the same age as Danielle but she is 3 sizes smaller than me. I'm still smaller than my mom and I think I'm much more mature than Danielle anyway. She always acts babyish and cries when anyone in class tells her off.

 Another reason I was surprised I enjoyed shopping is because I don't feel like doing anything some days. Some days I just want to lie in bed and look at my phone. I hate that I feel so lazy. I think something must be wrong with me for laying around. I don't think other kids feel like this. I must be really weird. But it seems like maybe adults feel like this? I don't know for sure but I know thinking about all this and wondering if my brain is working right makes me even more stressed which makes me just want to crawl under the covers and watch a million hours of old tv on my ipad.

 After my mom had my little sister she wasn't feeling so good and she just laid around a lot too. I never understood what she meant when she said she didn't feel like doing anything. But now I get it!! And I understand her feelings.

Straight C's

Some days it feels like my teachers are speaking a different language. In elementary school we were allowed to move around, work together, cut and paste and sing songs. I remember one activity where we cut out vowels and sorted them and arranged them like a flower and glued them on. I will never forget cutting the shapes and gluing them just how I liked them. We also had this song about the water cycle. It was more of a poem and the whole class read it together. It was to the tune of 'Coming round the Mountain' and gave us vocabulary like precipitation and condensation. Now we have to stay still all the time.

We never get to sing songs or move our bodies unless we are goofing off. Sometimes our teachers let us mess around in class but I don't get to work with my friends unless we do it behind the teachers back. One math teacher at our school does something really cool but I'm not in her class. Last week she took her whole class out to the football field. They got to measure the space between yard lines and then they calculated the volume of the footballs and soccer balls and volleyballs. I think I would learn if I got to try something new like that. But instead i'm stuck in my stupid desk.

 Some classes I do NOT know what my teacher is talking about. The other kids catch on quickly and it feels like my brain is on 'snooze'. But it's so weird, in other classes everything makes sense to me in a second. I don't have to try and it just works for me. It's like my brain isn't ready for some classes and in other classes i'm on a roll.When I can't understand the work I feel like doing bad things. I can't believe I'm saying this. Sometimes I want to stand up and throw my desk cause I'm so upset. Is that crazy?! There are some kids who can't seem to do well in any of our classes. I feel really bad for them because I know what it's like to feel lost during school.

WHAT a nightmare!

Heyyy! Soo I haven't blogged in a while. My mother (known to some of you as MY BOSS) suggested that I get some of my 'energy' out by blogging. Not a terrible idea and since I can do it from my phone she can't complain about me being on it 'alll the time'!

 AnywayYyyy

 The most embarrassing thing ever happened in Science today. NOT to ME thankfully. There's this girl in my class named Cassie. She's always been taller then everyone in the whole class and that's just how it is! The thing is that she's also kinda bigger than the boys in the class. This annoys a lot of the boys, especially the smallest one, Drew.

 Drew was working on a math assignment and Cassie bumped his desk. He snapped at her right away and told her to watch it. I'm not sure why he started out so rude, my mother would say it's 'teenage hormones' but I think he's just a jerk. I can't even relate to people who are that rude. Anyway, Cassie grabbed his pencil and snapped it right in half! Drew jumped up out of his desk like he was going to do something about it. Even though we are only in 7th grade Cassie is really tough and she isn't afraid of anyone. In a blink of the eye Cassie reached down and yanked Drew's gym shorts to the ground! Luckily his underpants didnt come down too!!

 Drew started cursing at everyone who was laughing including the teacher and ran out of the door.

 I can't imagine what I would do if something like that happened to me and I would never dream of actually doing something. But Cassie didn't seem to care. Our teacher seemed totally lost at what to do. He called the office and said he was sending Cassie and Drew both to the office for a referral. He didn't seem to know that these two never get along or maybe he would have sat them further away from each other.
