Sorry, I didn't get to post anything yesterday. I don't have time to do anything today either. I got a new digital camera, and I love it. I am working really hard on the Werewolf story, but don't wait up. TAKS week. :-( But...NO HOMEWORK...at least, not that much. :-) So so you tomorrow, if I get the chance.

I woke up at 11:30, feeling better than I had done yesterday. I brushed my teeth, went to the john, and ate a breakfast that consisted of pancakes, waffles, cereal, and orange juice. I turned on my computer to do my homework, started to exercise, due to the fact that my current goal is to get my old six pack again. While doing my homework, I got on to Google Talk, and began to chat with Jamie. It was pretty funny, and we learned a lot about each other. I had asked her to be an amateur editor for my stories, and she accepted. As the deal went, I was going to dedicate the book to her; it was something I was going to do anyway. after chatting for many hours, Jamie went to the park, and I went to ride my bike. I have been working on the Werewolf story and got to Chapter 2, yesterday. Right now I am putting typing in this very blog, while trying to finish my homework. My muscles actually grew a little. See you tomorrow!! :-)

4/25/08

The day started off pretty bad. I must have fell off the wrong side of the bed this time. I have been pretty sick these days, but today was worse than others. I puked in the sink for ten minutes, after waking up at 7:30. I had to get undressed and dressed pretty quick. Clothes were flying everywhere. But the day got better when I got to minicourse. Today was pretty exciting, well in minicourse anyway. We got to go outside again and I caught another cricket. This time we ventured further into the prairie land. We saw different plants, and even a few new animals. Some know-it-all kids were picking lots of berries, and uprooting many plants. That ticked me off; I mean one of the main things about this class is to help the environment, there they were destroying everything in there path. Jamie was not to happy about it either. We tried to make them stop, but when you tell a know-it-all kid to shut up or stop whatever he is doing, he just does it even more. After our trek outside, when we entered the classroom, once more, we got to look at a few cat tails. Then the know-it-all kids start talking about the history of these plants; Jamie and I exchange glances and start to laugh, while think, "Who cares!"
The rest of the was kind of boring until it got to Social Studies. I received a free day and some bonus points since I had finished my Photo Story Project. I took out my Werewolf story and worked on it a little. When Mrs. Graham asked us what it was, Tim, who was reading my story, told her it was a book I was writing. I told Mrs. Graham about the site I post my stories in and Mrs. Graham said that she had heard about it. I could believe my ears. That meant that people were talking about the site and that it was spreading. I was really happy. Skipping to Algebra, 4th Period. We took a quiz today, and I think I did pretty good on it. Then I saw Joseph, who is Asian, with a sticky note on his back saying, "Made In Mexico", and Branden, who is Mexican, with a sticky note on his back that read, "Made in China". It was hilarious. Elias had one that said, "Manufactured", but I edited that and made it, "Manufactured in the back of a FedEx truck. That got me laughs from everyone in the class.
The rest of the day, like in science, was not good, and P.E. was not worth talking about. So I guess that's all I have to say.
For those of you listening, I am working hard on the Werewolf story, nights too.

Today was a day like any other, unless you counted the progress reports that everyone received in studyhall. I got pretty good grades this time. Yet, as I called upon my Power, I knew I could do much better. From then on, I decided to always work harder. As I sat down on my desk to plan the Werewolf story I am currently writing, I remembered why had I gotten a computer lab pass. I quickly took all my social studies assignments and ran to the lab. I found that I needed to work on my slideshow, which I thought that Mrs. Graham would not grade. So after I finished that problem I continued on with my life. I don't really care about anything else that might have happened at school, and I do not want to talk about the surprise pop quiz that Mrs. Rockey gave us.
So I am still working on the Werewolf story and it is actually coming out pretty good. I have so much homework today and another quiz in algebra for Mrs. Wolfe tomorrow. This is not one of my good days.
I hope your day was better than mine.



This was written later at: 8:57.

God! Man, the Werewolf story is turning out harder to write than I thought it would be. I have only written 5 pages right now. I mean what the heck, man!! I think this going to end around 20 pages, so don't wait up. I might write a few other stories to read. Once again: &@$# this!! Even though writing a story is not easy, when you see people reading it, and compliment you on your writing; that is reward enough. *sigh*

Hello, everyone. I am glad you came to read this blog. I hope you are enjoying reading my stories in Nawal Aditya's Short Stories and Scripts. When it comes to writing about my life, I am too lazy to put a proper title. As you can see...Well, today I woke up, got dressed for school, and went to WIS. As I walked through the doors, I took my clarinet to the Band Hall, and chatted with a few of my friends. As the bell rang, I started to walk towards my Minicourse, which was taught by Mrs. Garcia.
"Nawal!" Josh, suddenly, yelled out mockingly. A few people around laughed, as I kept my head down and did not mind. I finally reached my minicourse and held the door open to let people in. A few people came in and I greeted them, as usual. Rose walked in, her black hair bouncing up and down, and I cheerfully said, "Hi!" She replied with another, "Hi!" and walked into the classroom. Then after David walked in with a few people (some whom I "helped" get in the room), Jamie came into the room, and I greeted her, "Hi, Jamie!". To which she replied, "Hi, Nawal." We all went into the classroom, then journeyed to the Computer Lab, then we went outside. As we were observing the prairie life (or as close as we could get to observing prairie life), we saw a few crickets and started catching them. Usually crickets would jump right off your arm, but the one I caught stayed on my arm for some reason. I soon found out why. It excreted waste on my wrist, but I carelessly flicked the piece of poop of my arm; and as soon as I did that the cricket leapt of my body. I was to hasty to crickets anytime soon. Everyone who was watching chuckled at the anecdote.
Mrs. Garcia then opened a gate, and told us to go inside it, so we could observe the plant life there. She also told to shuffle our feet so the snakes would hear our the vibrations of our feet and leave us alone. Jamie and I walked together and saw some really impressive spider webs.
"Isn't that what Trapdoor Spiders do?" She asked.
"Oh, yeah! You're right." I said. I really wish I had my camera, since I am a photographer. Now, Mrs. Garcia brought us to a bunch of plants with honey suckles hanging from them like white ornaments. After Mrs. Garcia had showed us how to get the honey out of the flower; Jamie, Paloma, and I, with the rest of the class took a honey suckle and drank some of its nectar. Jamie and I took another one, but her nectar dripped away, so I immediately gave her my honey suckle.
"Thanks." She told me.
"No problem."
Suddenly, we heard the pledge was being recited in school. The class hurried back inside right in the nick o' time, when the bell rang. I gathered all my junk and moved on to Mrs. Rockey's class, which was in the portables.
I did not notice anything new, until I sat down in my seat. I realized that Ms. Warner was there, instead of Ms. Rockey. I jumped up, stood up on my desk, and yelled out, "WHO ARE YOU!!!"
I am just kidding, although it would have been funny if I had done that. What I really said was, "Hi, Ms. Substitute", since I could not remember her name. She glared at me, and I remembered who she was! It must have been the intensity of her small, beady eyes that made me remember. The rest of the class we had fun, but I don't feel like going into the whole story.
The I went to Mrs. Graham's class, but I saw Mrs. Chapman there. This reminded me of my story: "Substitute". I shivered involuntarily.
We worked on our Photo Story for class. I goofed off for a while and made a photo of me being covered in graffiti and stuff. It was really hilarious. Afterwards, I said into my speaker for my Photo Story, "In the year of 2000, George W. Bush was elected president. People still ask, 'Why?'. Whoever was listened laughed out, even Mrs. Chapman.
Then I went to my Int. II Band class and we all struggled with piece titled, "Spy Chase". It is an incredibly cool piece, but it is also incredibly hard.
When I was going to my Algebra class, I put plastic, white knives on either side of my head, and got a few laughs for that. When Mrs. Wolfe spotted the knives, her lips twitched almost forming a smile, but she told me to take them down. An order I followed like any other: relentlessly. I did everything I needed to, in class, ate lunch, ran around in P.E., and then went to Science. Another class taught by Mrs. Garcia. One of my friends, Raymond was playing around with plastic knives. Mrs. Garcia confiscated them. I just gave her both of mine. Raymond got a detention towards the end of class, and I went out free. I am now writing this, and my Werewolf story. I am planning to write a romantic story after that.
