Thanks anita;) i found that i got an 89 on my physics honors forces test and i’m glad;) dave is great, he helped me with my ap english rhetorical devices (allusion, metaphor, anecdotes) essay today and he is very encouraging in school. when the ap english class took a walk to clear their minds and i stayed behind for 15 minutes to draft part of the essay so i would have an outline when we came back, he stayed behind for a while and also did the same thing and we helped each other with ideas. after physics honors, which was last block, we were talking about physics and the chapter called work and i think it is pretty simple and also he said that i was smart and he was glad i did well on the forces test. he knows the stresses i have in my life with being health conscious, criticizing parents, special friend and also self-criticism. dave is very compassionate and accepting and i feel like i can be myself around him and he doesn’t mind. today, i showed him the posts that i’ve been writing about him and it made him smile and he doesn’t mind me being a buddhist wiccan. he is very intelligent, but he doesn’t put others down who aren’t as smart as he is, instead he values hard work and he always sees the talents in people rather than their flaws. dave is quite laid back and he can be competitive, but in a fun and entertaining way. i think my special friend and andrew are annoyed at me because i think i’m doing better in math and science.i think dave sees my passion for math and science and he is also doing well in those subjects and sometimes he helps and encourages me. one of my other ap english friends, cj is entertaining and well dave is eloquent and poetic, he is humorous and entertaining. cj is a great writer and he is very encouraging as well; he also has great compassion, he would help anyone in need (like me since i also enjoy helping people). dave and cj often work together in literature and sometimes they have a friendly competition. cj, dave and my lunch buddy don’t really pay attention to the competition of the higher classes, they are just content to try hard, encourage other people and seem to really live life with confidence. one of my track mates who is a thrower as well is in my physics honors class and he is great, he was teaching me about discus and javelin and he said he thinks i should try for shot put. i had to help my parents with the restaurant so i missed practice today, but i still met with my track mates and the ones who are in my classes are great. we sometimes help each other with our homework and we laugh together and share techniques on how to become better. also i think i am set for the pre-calc test tomorrow since my pre-calc teacher does a lot of reviews and goes over things quite well. i have a physics honors work quiz and ap world history ch. 16 test friday and the ap english word of the day test (sept-march) is moved to monday. dave says that i shouldn’t be so criticizing of myself and that my talents were my compassion, my perseverance and my empathy for people, he also said that i was athletic and that i was a little too health conscious at times. cj is great because he makes me laugh when i’m down with his jokes and dave is great with his advice and his laid back, compassionate nature which makes both of them easy tot talk to. anyway, dave is right about me being health conscious and also school grade conscious, i tend to try to do really well and feel quite upset when i do bad on a test or quiz, i have the standard that i have to get an 82 or higher as my overall grade and also tend to get restless if i miss a day of working out because i’m afraid it will diminish my muscle tone and also i have been consuming french fries, cookies, donuts and junk food because i want to be healthy. i am going to work on improving my circulation because i feel like ever since i’ve been quite health conscious, i need to increase my circulation. i have been working out, eating lean protein, vegetables and fruits and watching everything i eat and calculating the calories i burn. cj is great because there are times when i feel stressed, he will make me laugh with one of his jokes.
