9.12.14- AHW

summer. tomorrow is summer. I've reached the point where I'm slightly sad. I'm gonna miss being with my friends in the hallways and bays. the lunches where we're sitting at a table and have tons to talk about. the recesses outside in the garden where even though the noon aides are overprotective, I'm gonna miss it. missing sitting in a classroom, even though it's boring at times, but being with people you know and see everyday and are in the same boat and course as them. missing the craziness and creativity that everybody causes when all the different personalities combine. missing my teachers, who I see and talk to everyday and have lived with for the past 9 months. it's like moving away. you live with everyone on the same schedule, the same way, in the same boat for 9 months and then it's done. but then you remember the freedom. freedom to do whatever you want. freedom to not have to wake up early. freedom to not have a tight schedule and stressful assignments. freedom to see who you want, when you want. freedom to not have to take orders from people you don't want to. freedom with no lectures, no rules, no stress or anger. freedom to be you. because that's when you're truly you. when there's nothing you're required to do or follow. when you're you. that's when you should judge and know someone. when they are finally themselves.

obviously pros and cons to leaving school. but for now, let's focus on the pros. there's nothing you can do to stop it, and if you're really gonna miss it, don't be too crestfallen, cause we'll be back in September just like clockwork.

this might be the last time I write on this blog consistently for a while. but I'm glad this is at the top. because it's something we all should remember. if you can't do anything, then focus on the pros before the cons take you down.

Paper plates are done!! Phew. Except iyana and Lilly haven't done each other, so at least they have to work it out between them. It's all set and done and I've organized it tho, so on Friday everyone gets a plate! Yay

I think tmrw (field trip) is gonna be fun and ik how to skate so that's a good thing. Bowling isn't my strong suit tho but it's really fun because you play and are able to do other things while waiting for someone else to go.

I'm doing my AHW in math because I just finished my math finals (🙏) with half an hour to spare. Hopefully more people finish cause it's freaky quiet and I don't even know if I'm allowed to be on here but yolo I don't think it matters cause we're all sitting alone anyway at my table.

I'm kinda glad cause it wasn't THAT hard all the units that I hated or were hard only had like two problems and the rest were things we've done before. It's all 16 units so it is hard but it wasn't for me because I knew all the stuff and studied and i was in 5/6 math before so I learned it last year too.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do now cause it's 12:24 and math ends at 12:50 but I'll tweet this and idk math just kill time doing something else. I'm gonna check my volume tho so nothing happens haha 😂 k all good now, 🙈

I'm writing so much because I can't think of anything else to do I could play a game but maybe not idk bye then I guess

My AHW got deleted from earlier so I'm just gonna write about paper plates.

They're almost done. They'll be done by tomorrow/wed morning. The 6th girls are doing each other, but everyone in the class gets they're own with an award and a note on the back of the plate. The people presenting them are:

Helen

Kylee

Fiona

Lydia

Grace

We each will present 9 because 52-7(us)=45 and 45/5=9

The presented plates for each people will be random so it's fair and no favoritism is involved.

They'll be presented on the last day, June 13, a Friday. It's a half day.

Have you ever been afraid to get to close to someone in fear of hurting them? In The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, Hazel Grace Lancaster doesn't want to hurt Augustus Waters by letting him love her.

Hazel Grace doesn't want Augustus to get hurt. She tries to explain this to him in many ways. "I'm a grenade, Augustus." She uses a metaphor to represent the fact that when she inevitably dies, she will obliterate everything around her, including him if he gets too close. 

Hazel directly resists and pulls away from Augustus. In many scenes when Hazel Grace and Augustus are together, Augustus tries to kiss Hazel or show affection/PDA, and she pushes him away for a reason. She doesn't want to bridge the gap that she's made between them by showing him love or letting him show he loves her. She always turns her head from him, physically and emotionally. I think that many cancer victims tend to shut out the world like Hazel, especially if they have a set death date. They can't find purpose in doing or loving anything because they find it pointless. Many cancer victims such as Hazel, Augustus and other characters in the book suffer from this sort of depression as well.

She hesitates and regrets decisions she made to be with him. When Hazel Grace first goes back with Augustus to his hotel room, they stop outside the elevator at his floor. "Is he regretting this? I shouldn't have suggested this. Why did I suggest this?" Even when they're together (finally) she still shows her nervous, sensitive side. She worries that when she did pursue him, she hurt him, which is her main fear. Without her cancer and her realization that life is temporary, she lives more vividly and with more purpose.

Hazel Grace worries that loving Augustus or letting him love her will hurt them both. Hazel is like many people today, nervous or scared to give of herself a relationship with another person.
