Eid, School, and BOOKS! Lots of them in fact...

School started, i haven't written a word in here ever since the first day of Eid, i barely wrote anything that day.

Starting with Eid. The first day was the same as every year, people come visit you in the morning, the men to be precise, and then after they leave at 11 am you go to sleep because you've been awake since 5 am. That day i slept until lunch at 4 pm, we had lunch with my grandparents. We waited until 7:30 pm to go on our own relatives' tour. After going to 4 or 5 houses, we got to the last house of that day, at 9 pm we went to our 2nd only descent mall in Irbid, with 5 of dad's cousins, i had fun, i went home at 12:45 am, which was  surprising, but awesome.

School. School started exactly the first Sunday after Eid, which was only 2 days after it, no breathers. The first day was normal, not as pleasant as i expected, but pretty normal. For one thing, 11th grade is going to be a hell of a ride, specially when it comes to the people i am going to share a classroom with for a whole school year,and that might be stuck with the next year. The school practically stuffed us from 10th grade in two classrooms,last year there were 3 classrooms, and this year a lot of girls transferred, one of them is one of my best friends, thanks to her transfer school sucked even more. it didn't sucks, it sucks! Most of my friends are in the other class, yay.  I just figured i'd endure it, and concentrate on studying.

The books were twice the size they are now, until i split them in half

As for BOOKS, i finished reading Thanks for the Memories for Cecelia Ahern 3 week ago, and i started reading Dan Brown's the Lost Symbol, a nice change, keeps you reading for hours and hours. I've always loved Cecelia's books, they always relate you to something in real life, every time i read something about someone in one of her books i remember something about my family or my friends or my school.

Back to Writing

I am re-writing the story I wrote for the first competition almost five months ago. The story was really bad, it has some sort of mystery, but it was too long, I mean it was 22 pages. I re-read it, and found in almost every paragraph something wrong and sort of out of place. Hope the new one turns out well.

DONE with 10th grade!

Yes, my summer started last Sunday. I feel VERY relieved now that I’m done with 10th grade, that was pretty much the highlight of my whole week. How was my year? well, 10th grade was pretty much the worst year of my life, and it's not only because I was studying my ass off, it didn't have as many complications as any other year, but it did REALLY suck.

One of the reasons was because in 10th grade you feel like a lot of people just leave, it was the most time I missed some my friends, a lot of people transferred  to other school, which is really saying something, because my school is not that bad, there were new kids, my best friend was only with me for a semester and not even in the same classroom. but in advance I did make new friends, I got closer to people I never thought I’d be friends with, I found out who was real and who was just pure fake, and for the first time in my life I felt like I was part of a group.

I had a few not-too-bad experiences, I applied for 2 English writing competitions, the first one was really bad, I just went to school like it was any other day, and next thing you know is that my teacher’s telling me I have to go now for the competition. The “short story” wasn’t really short at all, my story was 22 pages long, my teacher hadn’t even finished editing it, there were more mistakes in it with coordination that grammar, so I went. But the day was fun, I spent the day with my friends, I didn’t take any classes at all that day, and I got to miss 2 quizzes (which apparently I was about to retake in two days after).

The second competition wasn’t as bad, it was actually really good. The story was 4 pages long, and that time the teacher did edit the thing and helped make it better, and in the end me and another girl who applied with a poem got to go to an honoring party or something like that, they chose the two of us which was very awesome, because the very person I hated applied for the competition but she didn’t go with us.

Other than competitions, nothing was really at all that interesting, I was supposed to be in an art gallery at school (for my crochet work, yeah it looks like it’s something only grandmas would do, but it was fun), but the teacher said I had to show up and work in front of the students. I didn’t have the time to go, we were preparing for the finals, and I really had a lot on my plate at the time.

Something else on the “paint things new and bright” list of my year was that I got a new iPod touch 4^th generation, which is awesome if you ask me, I just love it, and I’m getting obsessed with Apple more and more now.

Maybe 10^th grade wasn’t as bad as I said it was, the year wasn’t entirely good, but I survived, the crappy things were related to studying and a very, very, very bitchy friend, who is not a friend anymore. Ever thought about someone that just makes wanna beat the crap of something, or THEM?! When you hear their voice you just want to slit their throat open?! Well, in that whole year, only one person (shockingly!) got that honor.
