This term has been a very big hassle. Honors U.S History, H. English, and Chemistry. Ouch. My parents are going to kill me because I have an F in history. Despite the fact I've turned in all my work, I have an F because the quizzes always catch me off guard. It's so confusing.
I had a funeral two Saturdays ago, and it was a very sad and healing experience.
I've been struggling lately with myself and so have been rather quiet and unenergetic. Yeah yeah, Danielle, unenergetic, holy crap. *rolls eyes* Anyway, I've been trying to maintain and fairly good mood and remain somewhat mentally stable (a slight exaggeration) but it's been rather hard. I've had quite a bit on my mind, quite a bit as it, I'm waking up every night and can't get back to sleep. Last night I woke up every hour and a half or so, every time. Now I'm suffering from sleep deprivation. (Not getting enough sleep from this has actually been going on for a while. I'm drinking COFFEE!)

Now, onto happier subjects. I passed with straight A's last term but I think I'm burning out. Anyway, I have a prom dress now. It's really beautiful, my mom is letting me borrow it. Now I just have to slim down and tone a few things and it'll look great on me. This will take a while =D Thats fine with me, more motivation to go to the gym and lift weights. Necessary for track.
Josh will be visiting from Thursday til Sunday next week, much to my delight. I'm just sad it is not under better circumstances.
Ok, I'm tired to I shall go and rest.

I am now a white/yellow belt in Taekwondo. I have also become a member of the blackbelt club, which means I will be presented my outfit, sparring gear, weapons, and bag next week, I am so excited. I had a tournament today and won first place in forms for my division, my brother won 5th, of course, he was against more kids and there seems to be some favoritism. He did VERY well and I am very proud of him. He was one of the sharper students there. I had the hard-ass, though, I got an 8.2 which is pretty high for him.
I have read the whole twilight series and saw the movie as well. so far, I like the series, the movie was ok, prefer the books. Now I'm reading another vampire book by my favorite authors. After I finish this one, I need to read my summer reading books for english before mid-january. Shouldn't be a problem since after next week, I have a two week break. I can read them then.
Trying to find a way to get to Oregon after christmas to visit my boyfriend. I will be in Santa Cruz Christmas Eve I hope so maybe I can visit some people beforeI leave. Then I can deliver some presents. I have made a lot of art projects and presents for people. Pots, bowls, angels, and such. They came out quite well so far.
Anyway, there's a brief update.

The sore muscles were actually because of Taekwondo and them working for 6 hours or so right after wards.
Cuts, well, pretty much self explanatory. Along with the burn, I was cooking.
Ovulation pain, something that has been reoccuring for about 7 months or so. I have been in the ER twice for it. And they just NOW, on my check up today in the doctor's office, guessed that it was due to my ovulation... oh joy. 7 months of pain, two visits to the ER and it's during a regular check up that they figure it out. The shots were also during my doctor's appointment. HPV vaccine, Meningitis, and the Flu shot. My arms are a tad sore.
Now, for the fight. It wasn't really a fight considering I didn't fight back, which I got many props for. I just didn't want to get suspended. What happened was, I was trying to get to my sister's friend to ask if I could borrow a book. I guess I accidentally bumped into a girl because she started to push me and say "Excuse me" and "Excuse you bitch" and others along those lines. As I was leaving, to provide a little more distance, I was pushed her away from me, not hard. As I was walking, she ran up behind me, grabbed my hair, yanked my head down (making my backpack weigh down on my neck, hence the sprain, (speed and weight are not friendly on one's neck), and she punched me about 5-6 times before letting me go. I got my food (fries and marinara sauce), all in my hair, on my clothes, and my backpack. Which made me upset because I was eating it. She was arrested because a cop and the Vice-Principal were there and had seen the whole thing. She was charged with assault and will be going to court for it. No big deal. But, because of my head and neck, my boss sent me home to rest and I could work that day.
Anyway, recent update on my life.

On that note, they people at the conference were quite enjoyable and it was really funny when Josh and I received a cd for kissing. People there definitely reminded me of Santa Cruz because they all dressed as they wanted and it was almost like everyone knew everyone. They weren't all up tight, if anything ,they were loose and willing to accept new things. And funny enough, a lot of people were actually from Santa Cruz. I loved it and the trup was really worth it.
The food was awesome as well, they had vegan food mostly and it was sooo tasty. I was definitely eating a lot healthier.
The only sad part was, i never got around to studying.
I liked living with Josh for the 4 days as well. We worked out things financially, tried to come to a consensus about what we wanted to do or what workshop to go to, calming each other down when they were upset, so on and so forth. I really truly enjoyed my weekend and am looking forward to going next year if the oppurtonity arises.
I was also able to talk to

violetclm at some point and we had a very enjoyable conversation. It was nice being able to talk to him as a friend and not someone I was crushing on =D- Mood:

Cross-Country is going well but it gets hard to attend when you have Taekwondo the same day and you're tutoring people until 4. ugh, life is such a pain.
I took care of my expenses yesterday and am not to pleased at the fact I only have $30 for food this week. and it's supposed to last me for about two weeks or so. YAY XP
Bioneers is next week and I sam so excited. I'm hoping it's going to be a lot of fun and informational. I need a lot of the that information for my community Teens Try Together (TTT) My boyfriend is currently helping me create my website for TTT since
violetclm does not have enough time to create it nor do I have the money to pay him. Joy...- Mood:
groggy
Josh and I spent a lot of time under the tree near my apartments but we also went to the park and river which was a lot of fun. The water was nice and cold in this heat.
Taekwondo has been going pretty well, I'm hoping to get my third stripe sometimes this week so that I can move up to white orange belt. I have officially joined Taekwondo, I pay my own way so I'm hoping I'll survive. Because, aside from Taekwondo, I also pay for my own food, transportation, and phone bill. Fun stuff. Oh well, just prepares me for the future.
In 17 days, my grandmother, my sister, my boyfriend, and I are all going to a Bioneers Conference, I'm really looking forward to it, If you want to understand what I'll be doing here's the link www.bioneers.org
School is ok. We have homecoming in about 2 weeks or so, I'm really excited. My friends and I hit the dance floor harder than anyone else =D

I have to admit, it was really hard to see him in that state.
Otherwise, I start school tomorrow and my first period doesn't start yet!!! Not until September. Go college classes!!! woot woot!

I start school on the 18th of this month and luckily, I have college Trig first period and that doesn't start until September woot woot. It isn't just Trig though, it's psychology too.
My best friend Josh came down from Oregon on the 26th of July and stayed til the 30th. I must admit, these were probably the best 4 days of my life. We were often out an about. We went to the beach, walked along the cliffs, took lots and lots of pictures that I will have up as soon as I get the CDs from him. (we had to use his cord to get the pictures of my camera, so they are all on his laptop.) We also went to the boardwalk and hiked up at Big Basin with my sister. I woke about 6:30 - 8 everymorning, got ready, and walked to my uncle's house every morning since that was where he was staying. I had a lot of fun. My whole family, excluding my parents and brother since they are in Sacramento and were not here to meet him, took a very strong liking to Josh. Even more so than to
violetclm much to my suprise and delight. We would be together from 7:30 or so in the morning to about midnight everyday he was here. My sister has officially dubbed Josh as her Nii-San (older brother) and has high hopes from him being her brother-in-law. Though, highly doubtful in my opinion. We spent most of our morning and nights cuddling and talking which was a lot of fun.It was kind of funny when he left because just the night before, we had been joking about calling a bomb threat so that the train would be late. Well, it turns out, the train was about 3 1/2 hours late because some one in Sacramento stepped out in front of the train, and I have to admit, I was not at all suprised that it happened in Sacramento. Then, another person was hit by another train and we were tempted just to leave and put him on the train the next day, but alas, that didn't happen since we didn't know what was going on. I have to admit, it is very weird not having him here. It was a really long, drawn out 4 days, in a good way. My whole family is trying to find ways for him to spend more time with us. lol.
Anyway, there is an update of the last 5 days for me.
Now, to start with the fun details. I finally got to see my uncle and cousin Zen, they still look the same suprisingly, aside from the fact my uncle has gotten quite a few grey hairs in the last couple of years. We spent quite a bit of time in the lake, thus the sore shoulders and legs. We spent about the first hour claiming our stake for the family though lol. My sister and I also went back and forth carrying the baby while the adults were busy. There was a lot of sleeping too since most of us woke up at either 4 or 6 in the morning, but that was mostly between my baby cousin and my sister. The rest of us couldn't really get to sleep. We also had a guy come up and us for some food, and offered some money but we didn't take any. There was a lot of people drinking alchohol near us. I mean, kegs, coolers ful of cans of beer, etc... My siblings, cousin, and I actually played a little soccer with some of the people sitting near us. When there were complaints of us kicking up a lot of dust, we had to stop. Then we just taught a guy named Garret some Taekwondo and had fights. Safe sparing for the most part, so nobody was injured. I hung out with the people we played soccer with and had quite a bit of fun. All of them were either finishing or had finished college and offered my some beer. (I refused for two reasons, beer tastes nasty in my opinion and I didn't want my dad getting angry at me, the family was no more than five feet away) There was a lot of picture taking and laughing. Both times we came from or went to the car, I had to carry Franky, which I didn't mind too much, he can be a little fussy though. He was asleep on the way to car and it was hard finding a comfortable position. My blanket was used a little bit and now it smells like beer. There was some crying and comforting going around, not by my family but my friend Jigs' girl was having problems. There was quite a bit of dancing and recording of dances.
I managed to take pictures throughout the whole day and I have videos of the firework show that I will get up when I have a computer with a working usb port along with internet.

Well, I've been in Sacramento now for less than 5 days and already I'm bored out of my mind. The only thing I really look forward to is my taekwondo lessons I'm taking. Otherwise it's chores and games. I don't have any of my friends numbers so I haven't been able to contact them and I don't know where or when they get out of summer school. *sighs*
violetclm has left for Vermont and, much to my dismay, I will not really be able to talk to him unless I talk or write in german. I've only just recently begun my lessons so I have to cheat and use a translator to tell and read what needs to be said. Along with a few modifications such as going from formal you (Sie) to informal (du).This week I have finals and that's it, no more school.

Since I haven't really had time to post recently, I'm going to do a quick overview.
- Happy VERY late 16th Birthday

myriad_rainbows sorry that I wasn't able to keep up with the times and tell you earlier. I also had no idea you were almost a month older than me. Learned something new. - Might be trying out for cheerleading. Yes, I realize that I hate cheerleading but I want to help our current cheerleaders so I'm giving it a shot.
- Sprained my ankle and still cannot run but I am physically able to more than I was a week ago so that is definitely an improvement.
- Trying out for the Talent Show, singing "Vanity" by Yuki Kajiura and it is in english in case some of you were wondering.
- Kind of shocked that violetclm has posted more than me but not really surprised considering how long it has been since I've last been on this.
- School is going well and so is work.
- I have to work even more nowadays due to the fact that I have to help pay for food since we aren't getting enough money to do so currently.

I have some how managed to pull my hamstring in my right leg, it is rather painful. I have somehow managed to become the assistant coach on the Track team along with actually being a team member. Reason being that we have no one who can teach us how to throw diskus and shot put which makes things... slightly difficult. Vitaly and me are the only ones who really know what to do but I ended being landed with the duty of teaching and coaching. I honestly don't know whether I should be honored or insulted but I'll take it as a good thing. For some reason, I ended up running with the sprinters but I'm a long distance runner, what a pain. I really dislike my coach because he is almost never there so where have to rely on the other coach who doesn't really know what he is doing but something is better than nothing right?
On top of that, my alarm clock got set ahead and hour and my sister and I ended up waking up and 5 minutes to 5 instead of 5 minutes to 6. It was rather frustrating but we managed to get things worked out so we didn't wind up going to everything an hour early, which was good but now I'm tired and want to sleep now but I haven't eaten and it's only 15 to 7, blegh.
But one thing has managed to go well, my best friend Brock showed up and I got to hang out with him a little while so it was worth it.
