also i shared the advice you gave to me about francine to her. thanks a lot:) andrew is very laid-back lately and his good humor is contagious. since he is my ap biology partner, some of his good humor has rub off on me and i also find myself cracking jokes and laughing at myself. we are both less competitive with each other and make each other laugh. this weekend, i am working on my u.s history ii project. i hope this project will bring my grade up, but i need to make up a quiz and a test from ch. 11 from the time i wasn’t there b/c i was in business/web at that time (business/web. in there for around a week and a half) however, it has already been around a month and i haven’t made it up b/c i had lots of after school stuff the past few weeks. i hope the teacher will let me make it up on tuesday b/c i don’t like the 65 that i see in the gradebook. i don’t have school on monday or wednesday due to holidays. this weekend i am currently taking notes on three chapters of ap biology, doing a u.s history project (due next friday, but getting a head start), studying for an ap calc test (next friday). i also am brushing up on my java skills in codeacademy b/c i am having trouble computer programming in eclipse software. it is like learning a new language and there are a lot of things to it b/c a computer cannot read messages like a human does, so you have to put things in specific cases like uppercase, lowercase, semicolon. a small error will make the computer confused. i am worried that i won’t be able to do well in ap calc b/c the chain rule is a bit confusing with radicals, fractional exponents and when you combine rules. i am also worried that i won’t do well in java b/c we have a project to work on tuesday and it is due friday and i am still working on understanding the coding language. i also have an ap biology test coming up sometime soon the week after next week. also i need to start studying for my sats, i wonder how i’m going to, but i’ll find time. the good thing is that my inner bully has not been bugging me today and it is enough to celebrate. in the meantime, i will continue to write poetry and prevent that inner bully from trying to sneak its way in.
i even told the inner bully today (b/c i knew it was hiding waiting for a time to strike) “Dear inner bully, solve your own problems. i am tired of hearing the things that make you x (cross) or you asking y. x and y are on vacation studying ways to make the equations of life add up to a solution. i will cut the weeds of the inner bully before it grows in my garden of thoughts, i will snap the claws that try to snare me, i will slash the net that it tries to entangle me in. no inner bully, you will not win!”

my ap biology teacher says that the human mind can only focus really well for twenty minutes at a time, so this is why i sometimes do work for a duration then rest and so something else such as post on this forum. also you are a great friend and give great advice:)
