BYE MARATHON!!!


A Crab that was just hanging out before I left.
I'm in South Carolina now. I don't like how I had to leave everyone I knew back in Florida, but I'll live. I get to back to Marathon again sometime. Oh well.

I loved this crab, it was quite adorable. Our apartment complex here in South Carolina has little tiny frogs ALL over the place. They're so cute!!! Haha. And there's a mini train thing that is just cute. I love it so much. It was fun to play on. :D

I don't really have much to write, so I'm just going to post another picture and be done with it.

OMG!!


"Shark" - random man.

"Actually, it's a killer whale."

"Orca" - Captain Jack.

"Yuppers."

Haha. So yesterday, Kurt and I bought an inflatable killer whale/orca. It was raining outside and we walked past the WinnDixie and, as we were looking in the window, we saw a giant, inflatable, killer whale. I immediately wanted it, and looked at the price tag. It was on display for $9.99. I was so excited. I didn't have any money on me, but I immediately asked Kurt if he'd buy it for me. He said we'd split the price. So we did.

So now we have a giant, inflatable Orca. We tried swimming with it, but we found out that you couldn't actually get ON the Orca. So it's mostly just for decoration. But it's a pretty decoration and I love it. :D Seriously, Orca's are the best. Especially giant inflatable ones. Teehee.

I'll try and add some pictures of this Orca on this post later on.

Teenager Seeking Inspiration...

Lately I've just felt kind of depleted of creativity. I have had some things going on in my life, but I haven't been able to find the energy to pick out the good and leave behind the bad. So I could post them in this blog.

I asked my friend, Louise, what I should do with this blog. She told me that I should do what I want. To go in the direction that I want to go in. I think I am just going to follow her advice. I'll go with what's on my mind, writing the newest things and the latest things.

So, being home-schooled, I do school work all year round. Day after day I do work. Sometimes even on Saturdays, especially lately. I'm still in trouble with my parents, so I don't really have anything better to do. It seems, though, that no matter how hard I work or how long I sit around trying to concentrate on it, I don't get anything done. I've been working for half a year already and have only finished one class. I have another class almost completely finished, one half way finished, and a third one 5/8ths of the way done. So I'm doing awful. Like, I'm really far behind.

I am going to start doing Florida Virtual School soon. Probably when I'm in South Carolina. Which is kind of funny if you think about it. I'm doing a FLORIDA school in SOUTH CAROLINA! Haha. Sorry, I am sure I find that more entertaining than other people. Once I do Florida Virtual School for a while, though, I can try and get a scholarship with Florida Bright Futures. If I get good enough grades, I can get them to pay for my college for me. I know that for certain, I AM going to college. I may not go right away, maybe take a year to travel some more and get some money to pay for college, but I am going.

The class that I am halfway finished with is a Video Production class. I have to create a video that is two to three minutes long. Since my cousin is here, I told her that she was going to have to help me. It didn't take her long to come up with the idea of an instructional video. Instead of instructing someone on HOW to do something, we're instruction someone on how NOT to do something. What is this something? Windsurfing!! Haha. I'll post up some pictures of this event. Maybe. Or maybe post up the video once it's edited and pieced together perfectly.

The sad thing about the video class is that....

OMG!!! MY MAN JUST WALKED IN THE BUILDING!! Haha. Okay, so the story behind that. I was walking with my friend Thomas one day. He was all "Oh look, is that your man?" He was pointing at someone, so I look up just as a car pulls out. Inside the car is the guy with skinny jeans and tattoos. He's got blonde hair and glasses. I look at him and go "The guy in the car? Psh. Ya!" Then, as the car pulls away, I realize that he was talking about the seven year old, blonde kid who was standing behind the car. Ever since then, this guy has been called "My Man." Every one of my friends knows this. I haven't seen him for a week or two...not since his girlfriend came and visited, but he's here again! I'm so excited about this. I wonder what his name is.....

ANYWAY!! The sad thing about the video class is that it only counts for half of a credit. Which means that I'll only have three and half credits soon. And I need five. My mom is signing me up for those Florida Virtual classes though, so I should have five and a half credits soon. So, I guess it just means I have to work harder. Or that the video class was just for the fun of it. It made me realized that I could never really do well in video production.

So, I have to go now so I can get my school work done so I can go windsurfing again. I've come close to not making a giant fool of myself. Yeah, I'm currently working on actually standing up on the board with a sail pulled up. Without having it fall on top of me.
