Summer School: Not Having A Life

It's almost been 2 years since I last posted;
A lot has changed.
Friendships began and ended,
New hobbies, new phone, new clothes...
...and a new set of values.

Summer school 2013; talk about not having a life.
English and Chemistry...
There is absolutely no chemistry between these two subjects.
What was I thinking?
That I would be able to handle two courses?
I don't know what I'm doing anymore...
English... the thing I dislike most is how we dissect and take apart every piece of writing we read. We kill the piece of writing until there is nothing but the skeleton of words put together to form a piece of thought we ASSUME the author has written based on "EVIDENCE" we find the piece of writing. The beauty of just reading is gone; replaced with a cold analysis of the piece of art- a piece of paper covered with words. I mean, to me, the beauty of English is being able to feel what I think the author is speaking WITHOUT going over the words a million times.
I don't know...
I understand English is all about having the "correct" interpretation of the work, and being graded on whether or not you are able to take the words and get the theme or the mood or the tone that majority of English teachers or professors agree on.
To me, I think it's just killing a work of art by using modern day analysis to convey a meaning to society that WE want people to learn and to accept.
Allow me to allude to George Orwell's 1984;  The Thought Police controls all thoughts and emotions... English teachers and professors are the epitome of the Thought Police, except the only thoughts they control are our creative minds over English literature.

Needless to say I am in a very unstable mood and extremely aggravated over English.

Crappy Week.

Had a uber crappy week this week. All these people giving me crap, wasn't even funny. But it's amazing how seeing someone that's your legit friend can make your day so much better. People I can just be ME around... those people that will accept you for who you are and what you stand for... they are the people you need to keep with you forever. I need more friends like these ones... Sometimes, I wonder if I should just disappear. Not like in the "I'm gonna kill myself way," but more of "I'll move to another city or country and see if anyone notices" kind of way.
On the plus side... now I get to see who them fakes are, and who are the people that will stick with me through think and thin. <3
Volunteering tmr, first time this school year, woot woot!
Vball season, dance squad tryouts soon (LOL ikr dance squad), We Day selection list is coming out soon, QCC Vice Prez spot up for grabs... (hope to make it!), or else it's QCC Communications Team or QCC Social Communicator or QCC Volunteering Group... or if worse comes to worse, the QCC Fine Arts team.
LOL QCC is a non-profit organization that does a variety of events, with the main purposes of creating critical creativity, giving back to the community, broadening our social group, and having fun. (:
So yeah. BUSY BUSY BUSY GAAAAAAAAH D':

School & Them Fake People

So many fake people around, it's kinda scary. Those people who I thought were my friends actually are the ones who talk shit about me. It's not fair. I'm trying to be me, trying to get these people to accept me, trying so hard to not upset someone, and all I get is my kindness thrown back into my face. Apparently, people aren't supposed to be friends with me because I'm too competitive. I'M TOO COMPETITIVE. Anyone that knows me for longer than a year knows that I'm not competitive. I'm the least competitive person in my entire incentive class. I just try to get good grades so that I can keep my phone and internet use. But obviously, no one cares, and even if they knew, they'd still make it sound like I'm BS-ing. Seriously, if you're in an INCENTIVE class and you're NOT competitive at all, something's wrong. Big time. Everyone wants to get good grades. I don't see where the problem lies. Perhaps it's because I sometimes refuse to show my grade, but then again, other people don't either.

Irony right here: The people that have been spreading crap about me were my close "friends" last year, not only that, those people are the EXTREME overachievers. Every subject 90%+. Honestly, I'm the kid that barely makes the low A, high B. Maybe it's because I'm in the middle. Maybe that's why people hate me.
I play sports, but not competitively. I join only because I need to lose weight and maintain a healthy diet. Because I'm a pretty committed person, I know that if I join a team, I'll follow through and go to all the practices. That's the type of person I am. If I don't play sports, I'd spend all my time in front of the computer or on my phone, blogging or surfing the net.

You know my name, but not my story. Darlings, don't judge a book by it's cover. Get to know me before you diss me. At least some of these people actually come up to my face and say shit about me in my face.
I don't know what hurts more... getting it said to your face, people saying it behind your back, or people saying it behind your back and then you find out later. From someone else.

Emotional, physical, and mentally sore. I need to watch my drama. -sighs-
Volleyball all day, erryday. So sore, so sore. So much stuff happened this week, my mind is legit blown.
3 tests this week. 3. My brain does not have such high capacity at the beginning of the year.

Until Next Time,

I just realized... I have no followers.

So technically, I'm typing to no one. But that's alright. This week has been pretty hectic. Trying to work out my schedule, classes, homework, and starting my extra-curriculars. I'm pretty happy right now with my life, because I'm pretty sure I've worked out a balance between my "online" life and my normal everyday one. Being a crazy internet addict like me, it's kind of hard to say, "Okay, I'm done with the computer for the day." It's just not possible. My homework also involves the computer. I don't have a lot of self control when it comes to spending unnecessary time on the internet. But that's alright. I need time to express myself and give myself a break. Okay back to homework now. (:

Until next time,
Claudia

Sowwy for no recent posts...

But new school year and all that jazz makes it kinda hard to update my blog. As well, I've been trying to organize my school year, trying to balance my volunteering, schooling, and extra-curriculars. This year, I'm more busy then ever. I've decided to go on with my piano, so I'm taking my ARCT next August. It's gonna be a challenge, because as everyone knows, I didn't give a crap about piano before. But now, I've been given the option to finish it in 1 year, compared to the normal 1 1/2 year. As well, I'm doing theory too. That's going to be crazy. actually. Then I have Girl Guides, and it's my last year as a Pathfinder, so I need to get my Canada Cord... and I have chinese school, and math tutor, and I'm taking up Taekwondo again, need to make time to get my shooting license... so much to do, so little time. I also want to join my school sports team and still have time to blog and spend time with my friends and family. As well as watch some Taiwanese drama. Oh dear oh dear. I have to do min. 60 hours of volunteering this year, and I really don't know if I can. Also, I'm planning on taking early morning choir, ICT 11, and science, english, and socials incentive. Incentive I can manage... Honours math 9... not so sure. Especially when it means I have to take my Provincials this year. and now because gr.12 provincials have been cancelled... ALL MY PROVINCIALS COUNT. D": it's a make it or break it. (I need an A in every provincial in order to be eligible for scholarships.) All this stress... but I'm sure I'll manage. Oh and ofcourse, did I mention I've now got 3 blogs to manage? And yes, I will try to keep them as updated as possible. (:

Until next time,

I went on a vacation

I went on a vacation, hence the lack of posts. Travelling within your own province is quite a sight. Honestly, I never knew there could be such great contrast between just a couple of hours drive. The beautiful scenery, the different types of people, the different way of life. At the moment I'm typing this, I'm still on vacation. I just don't have wifi. I don't even have network on my phone. Yup, I'm up on a mountain in Castlegar, living at my auntie's place. They have 2 big dogs, Harley and Luke. I smell like dog most of the time. Being next door to nature is really different from city life. You walk out the door and BAM you're standing on gravel road, not one moving car in sight. Not one person in sight either. But holy crap is this place cool. We drove to Nelson, about an hour drive. I sat on this trolley car thing, went to this street market, and bought natural soap. Right now, I'm watching Batman on a 52" TV. I think. It seems bigger... I also went to a hotsprings. All natural. (: Oh maah gawd i went shooting ommmaahgawwwd.
:O Check out the pictures below!!


That's the trolley
