There's Something about Finals

Finals week is quickly approaching.

I have mixed feelings on the subject.

On the one hand, finals week means absolutely no homework. It also means that afterwards, I get two much-needed weeks of break.

However, it also means, you know, FINALS. The most stressful times in a high-school student's life besides college applications for seniors.

Most of the time, I don't really worry about my finals. I usually get good grades the whole year and I retain most of the information I am taught, so studying for them is a piece of cake.

I actually look forward to finals week because it is one week with no homework (my least favorite part of education), and I get to have two weeks or two months of no school, depending on which finals week of the year.

This year is a little bit of a different story.

I'm in high school now.

Duh.

And the tests have consequently gotten harder and harder.

This sucks. A lot.

For my French final, I have to speak in french for a full 50 minutes without stopping. Then I have to write in french for another 50 minutes.

Does my teacher realize that we are only into the FIRST SEMESTER of FRENCH 1?!

I can't speak that much french! You haven't taught us enough.

My english teacher's tests are some of the most difficult ones I have ever taken. So the final will be near impossible.

Science is easy and the final will be easy. Phew.

Math final... eh. It'll probably be hard, but definitely manageable. Algebra II is so much easier than Geometry.

And no finals for P.E. or Museum!

So yeah, I'm looking forward to Finals Week.

But I'm also stressing. Big time.

Help.

Dumb Boys Are Dumb

Yeah, yeah, this post was comin' around eventually. I thought that I might as well get it over with, andI don't want to hear you complaining.

Sometimes I really don't like boys. The super cliche, "Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em" is a cliche for a reason. Because they drive me insane for many reasons. One of which is that they all seem to have a common sense rating of -5 on a scale of 1 to 10.
For example, my friend has had a weird "thing" with this guy. Now, she has been up front and honest and open about her feelings, but he can't seem to make up his mind. One minute he really likes her but doesn't show it, another he doesn't like her but flirts with her like it's some kind of contest, and the next he barely looks at her.

This is what we call, A Boy Being Dumb.


These two friends of mine are very close with each other, which makes things infinitely more complicated. Of course. Like everything in life.

My friend is a really amazing girl. She is absolutely beautiful and she has many guys simply panting after her, though she may not realize it. She is funny, charismatic, goofy, kind, loving, and isn't afraid to be her (wonderful) self. She is even better than food.

HER >  

The boy sees this.

And yet he does not act, even though he knows she likes him.

Um, WHAT!? Is he really blind? She is this amazing person standing in front of him with her arms w i d e  o p e n  and yet he runs. Why? Because he is dumb.

He is really only thinking of himself in this situation. My guess is he just thinks that she will always be this possibility, but he doesn't realize that she is not one for waiting. He's lucky she's liked him this long.

This is just one example of how stupid boys are. They can be knowledgeable about a million other things, but when it comes to girls, most of them are dumb and don't have a clue what they're doing. Even the players. They don't really know how the female's mind works. Not even all females themselves know what they're thinking half the time!

You should probably know that this will most certainly not be the last post of this sort. I am a teenage girl just starting high school. Boys are really all I think about. Even though they're dumb.
