Junior Year is going to suck.

     I have a strong belief that Junior Year is going to suck. Where should I start.
     Over all, There are a crap ton of students at school. But not one of them is one of my top8 (friends), Paigie. There are about 36-42 kids in each class. This population boost happens ever year, but they say there will be done building the new high school by next year. Like always we can blame this from population growth and that leads the surplus of freshmen running around with their heads chopped off. Gawd, I hate freshmen (Yes, i noticed i offended probably 2 people that found this blog; that would be their parents)  with their stereo type of what high school is like vrs. REALITY. The need to over match there clothes and do a cake-face to their pretty face. Even though I bash them, I have a pile of clothes I want to wear myself, but I don't want to give people the illusions that I'm trying to look too decent and maybe even for someone (-___- does this face look like it is for someone). But that is just me and my anxiety and the BLOG THAT EXPLAINS WHY I AM SO PICKY [[CLICK HERE NOW]] .

TAKE A DEEP BREATH...Chem-H rant in a few.

Spongebob
      Speaking about anxiety...I no longer have my awesome physics teacher and chill class. I traded that in for Honors Chem (my first honors class ever), but it is a culture shock. The jokes the teacher (or class) crack aren't even that funny. It could be because I sit in the very back of the room and can't hear or see a darn thing. I couldn't switch desk because the teacher wanted me to see who wouldn't mind my desk and I knew nobody would switch.  There is the constant worry that any second the class will get 10x harder or I will have to present something and the fact that people in that class are semi-cliquey. I have no friends in the class.
     Yah, I know some faces, but its not like they will at least make small talk. My parents (who didn't even push me into the class; i did that) are telling me to stick with it. Saying stupid crap like "It's only been two days" and "you will make friends cause you will bond over group labs" and such.My Mom said stuff like "Well, don't quit if you don't like it, because that is not a good reason. You will have to put up with people later in life [relates to her job]. Also, collage is competitive and this will be the only edge you will get cause you don't to clubs, AP, sports, ect..." I just stare at her like *You told me not to do it cause you thought I can't handle the work!! I did it for collage (it is a weighted class) and so I can punch you in the face next time you call me stupid (if I get a B or better).* The worst is when they take to the elementary days when they tell you to excessively smile and play 20 questions until you find something in common or one gives up.
      I mean it isn't really a hard class (yet). I don't know if I should be saying that yet, because we took an element abbreviation and name game quiz. My anxiety kicked in so much, I only wrote my first name on the quiz. I hope I don't have to retake it cause it got lost in a sea of papers or if I get docked a point. I was worrying that I was taking to long. When I turned it in, I saw only my first name on it. I didn't want to take it back for the question if I was cheating and I was also being lazy. So I made this face xP and walked all they way back to my desk.
     Maybe I can use my IEP card (its like what the school calls "special ed" and the card is a  that will get myself in or out of stuff cause my mom believes that I'm that mental (I will admit to corks, but I get it cause I'm related to her and I have to live with her (and a few childhood tramas). IDC more perks and being pulled from classes for me.). If I could, I would be switching to the other honers class where I at least would have a friend from ASL. I go through these moods to switch and not switch cause of the befits and the learning environments.I guess I feel out of my element when I'm in this class. Pun in tended. (meaning I feel uncomfortable and in a foreign territory if you didn't get the pun).

     Besides that mess of that problem. Kyra and I have been getting to become close friends because everyone else sort of left us (or they are 5 ft away). So its time I dust off my flyers & get some sign twirlers to recruit people.
     Also, it is pretty fcken hot & bright at school. I havn't ordered the sunglasses yet, but my dad is letting me. YAHHHH no glaucoma for me.

But other than that I think my Photo, film History, (maybe) collage algebra trig , ASL, and flim English will be chill. What is your opinion about your classes and school?

Organisation: Love it? Hate it? eh?

     Well we all  know that we should be organised.Some are better then others at being organised, while others can live in completely filthy, Actually come to think about it, its there a whole spectrum of people who are in the middle. The ones with 75% organised, 33% organised, or the ones that can be 90% organised, but it is because they have 0% will power so they are at 12%.
     I my self has realized that I have been getting the need to organize or, as my mom put it, CLEAN. I love the thought finding things you never use and giving it is purpose again. It is also nice to de-clutter your room from the useless crap you had. I always think of giving my friends my unwanted stuff, but I then think "Why the heck would I do that! It would just transfer the clutter to another room and that's bad to do to a friend" and "Why would they want my useless crap anyways? To add it to their shrine of me because we all know Paige has one" (haha JK Paigie). When I get half way to almost done with organizing/cleaning, I stop and think "WTF am I doing?" becaause that's when it is no longer organisation but clean-isation (see what i did there).
     If you haven't noticed, I have tabs on my blogs now. I now can make different segments and such. I will follow up with another blog giving a description of each tab.
     Well enough with me, your probably hopping I will give you tips for back to school or life help. Maybe the only reason your reading this cause of StumbleUpon or your already following me. But any who-daa lets get on with a few tips.

     So if your spring-cleaning your room-
1. Take everything that is out of place and put it on your bed. That junk on your shelf, clothes on the ground, and that snake in your boot. If you already know were the item in question should go then your welcome put it there. Like clothes in the hamper or hanging in the closet. When your done with this task your room should be spot less, but your bed. ***But you cant go to bed unless you find a home for that stuff. This is where you toss it, store it in a spot, or eat it.

2. Vacuum and dust. This one is a must.

3. For drawers mentally label each drawer for one thing. Let it be school suplys, craft stuff, and electronics for your night stand. Shirts, pants, underwear/socks, skirts, and so on for the dresser. Also toss any crap you don't need or use.

4. Tight corners. Look under your bed, and  behind your dresser for stuff. You probably drop somthing down there, was pretending to be a chipmunk, or wanted to make a "clean" get away (that can mean your hidding something or you need to clean so you can do some social activity with your friends ). Whatever the case may be I'm guilty myself.(:

5. Launry Day. Wash your sheets and clothes.

Other tips

1. Using a desk organizer can help. I also take all my school papers that I don't really need , but I keep them for the whole school year in plastic bags and shoe boxes in my closest. You never know when you will need those papers or need something to be in your bonfire.

2.For school, (as you probably know if you read my back to school blog) I stress the fact you should get spiral notebooks for each class you do do your stuff in. "But Kayla I write a lot". Have no fear, just uses one for note taking/classwork and one for homework/classwork (put classwork somewhere). I say  make sure the note taking book is durable because you will need it for the whole semester or maybe even the year. For the other one, just get a 35 cent one from target. Depending on what your teacher is like, they might ask to see your work. So either rip it out or ask if they can turn in your homework notebook.

3. Planers. Use them.

My Non-expert Advice: Back-To-School-My first of a few

Hey, so students are going back to school. I thought I could toss out ideas for these students and maybe have fun doing it. Myself is going to be going to her junior year of high school. I'm glad to go back to see my friends and stop being bored.

so maybe I should start with supplies and tips.

Supply's:
1. Spiral Notebooks-
These help a bunch. I say you should get one for any class you take notes in. If you really want to be organised you can get one to do your homework and one to use for the notes (for each class of ur choosing). It also helps cause you know where your hw is and can tear out paper with out the worry that you will run out of room for your notes.

-I had a note book for my Algebra 2 and Physics class.My physics was a little more messy cause I also did class book work by my notes. I'll be stocking up on these so I can be more organized. If your lucky, buy them in bulk (or get the ones with more than 70pgs).

2.Backpack/Satchel/Purse-
well this will be the first year I wont be using my sisters old backpack. I had the same power Blue jansport bag since 3rd grade (the type with 27 pockets). I send that to get fixed over Christmas, but it took longer than expected. So I used a dark blue one (2 pockets-less nerdy/looked cooler) that got holes in it.
-also try NOT to over pack. Hey on the first day the teacher doesn't really care if you have 64 crayons and a built-in pencil sharpener. People will say "good for you" =l * SARCASTICALLY*.

3. Binder, dividers, loose paper, and a Binder Pouch
(&the necessary stuff that goes a binder or pouch.You don't need a hole  puncher.)
This one is pretty self-explanatory. Pick one u like, style it or not, fill it with Funions...IDC.
I personally don't care to personalize it. I use printer paper and change the color from now or then and add ransom slips of paper or notes/reminders. Also I love the dividers with the pockets, but if you like folders then rock that too.
-Look around your house for usable pens, pencils, and highlighters. You don't really need to buy more unless you need more led, erased your erasers, lost them, they broke (talking about mechanical ones), ect ect...

4. Lunch
Bring one, buy one, beg your buddies, go out to eat (if open campus), eat out of the trash can, or starve.

5. Random stuff to bring:
1. mint gum-but don't trust the saying "giving free gum=more friends"

2. a "first aid kit" (i call it that)- it has extra Bobbie pins, hair ties, Advil, a band-aid or 2, "girly tissues", chap-stick,  floss/a floss pick, ect.. just put this all in a pouch and you should be good.

-I also use this as a good time to get rid of my bad Bobbie pins and hair ties by giving them to people when they "barrow". I am always sad when they give it back.

3. A calculator for math/science

4. Water- inside of a water bottle... in case you wondered.

5.Phone/ Carrier pigeon- what i don't judge.

6. If you have a chill class and a battery that keeps dying . bring your charger. That's why you make friends with the teacher. :D

7. FRIENDS - what? some people don't have friends. Be glad you have the ones that you question why they like your weird pants. And make your weird pants befriend those lonely pants.

8. (my favorite number) remember to eat breakfast, wear clothes, and a smile. Uber cheesy, but maybe you smile will brighten someones day. --SUPPER CHEESY!


 9. Hand sanitizer - cause people are filthy and I need to get rid of my crap from Christmas.

!0: What you find necessary- Planner, PE clothes, French Book, soccer ball, ect...

Other tips
1. if you think you are smelly use deodorant over a $70 perfume. If you need to you can use a body slash, but don't bring it. It will spill and you will over use it. When you over use it, it repels more people than it attracts.

2. FRESHMEN: the first week of school is not a beauty pageant. Lay off the overly perfect outfits, cake face, and heels. You more approachable (and look less plastic) and like school more if you are dressed comfortable. Casual clothes has perks too!

3. Get a good nights rest. I'm trying to get back to my sleep scheduled, but it is hard. Try to work on it 2-3 weeks before school.

4.  Try not to procrastinate. "Better said then done, Kay!" Yes, I know. If your going to procrastinate at least get/make a planner. So you have a set schedule.

5. When you get your classes map them out on the map. If needed.Freshmen, this would be a good time to see if your friends cross paths during passing period (if you have time to chat) and decide where you should eat lunch. My school lets us eat wherever, but I am deeply sorry if you still have to sit in a lunch room.
My Room like 40% into my Back-to-School cleaning.

6. Clean your room. This one will help you bring in the new school year. Think about it. "A cluttered room, is a cluttered mind". Get rid of the clutter and toss the junk so you can be organised and free. This is a good time to see what school supplies you have around to use, what junk should be use up, and what should be be trashed or donated.
