Lee High Magnet
Today, I am furious. I feel like I have basically been insulted to my face by the principal at my school. I was late to my Creative Writing MAGNET because I had club pictures. When I came in to get someone for a picture, my magnet teacher was crying. That in it's self made me angry. Let me state that out of all the teachers that I've had, she has been the second biggest influence in my life. It takes a lot to put up with me because if you know me well, I am loud, gregarious, and temperamental. Despite all of this, I maintain strongly that there are very few teachers out there that would be able to keep their cool with me for one year, much less three. She actually cares about what we have going on at home and wants us to be happy. Do you know how rare that is for a teacher? Yeah, she makes me angry sometimes because we have differing views on stuff, but I know that she means the best. She was crying because in the first time in seven years she had been written up. She was written up because us students, students that applied to this class and come from all over town, published in magazines, novels, and newspapers, students that keep good grades, students that have been shown to be exceptional in this subject, were writing stuff that was "TOO VULGAR". We have never had this issue before. When we enter this class, we are expected to be amazing writers that can go above and beyond. If you censor our work, some of us will never go anywhere. We have students in here that could be the next Stephen King, but they won't ever do that if they are told that they can't. I am about to turn eighteen this month. I think that I have the mental capacity to understand what I am reading. And no, my own writing has never been vulgar. It's not my own writing that I am worried about. I am upset over how this was handled, what with her being written up instead of confronted, and I am furious with us being censored. Magnet makes Lee what it is. If not for the magnet, Lee would have been shut down because of the white to black ratio. Even if that wasn't the case, Lee is known for it's Magnet. Do. Not. Fuck. With. Us.

Beta Club, Bras, More
I am really uncomfortable right now. Like, super uncomfortable.
I have a Beta Club initiation on Thursday and we have to dress all fancy and pretty. Because of this, I was forced to go dress shopping. I needed to get some new shoes anyway because the soles were wearing off on mine. While we were there, I picked out two really nice dresses but they weren't flattering to me so we didn't get them. My grandma asked a lady to help us and the lady picked out a dress that I thought was really ugly, but she watched it with a jacket and belt that made it look really good on me. The only issue with the dress then was that it made me look flat chest. I have DD size breast and I was looking flat chested. ;-;
She had me try on one of their bras and all of the sudden, I was not only back to my normal bust size, but double. o.o I thought that they may be padded and as a rule was against that but no, they just had wire.
After we got that outfit and two bras, we went to the mall and I got my first pair of boots.
Let me just say, the smallest things make me super happy. I was so excited to have them, I still am.
The only issue is that they're pretty uncomfortable. ;-;
So, I'm sitting here at school with my new bra and boots, trying to ignore how uncomfortable that they are. The bras wire is poking the soft fleshy part of the inside of my arm and the boots keep pulling my socks down and chaffing me.

School Blocks
I've been helping people get past the school blocks on the laptops all yesterday and today. What we've been doing is downloading Google Chrome and some software called Psiphon3. The software works as a proxy that can't be blocked because it's not a site. It doesn't affect anything, download time, doesn't put any bulky graphics on the page, nothing. The only problem with it is that you have to use Google Chrome which is fine with me because that's what I use anyway. XD
It's funny though because kids have been coming to me in groups to ask for help, even a few of the teachers.
If you block stuff on the computers, people are going to find a way around it. The kids already hacked into the computer and got the wi-fi password for the adult wi-fi which has less blocks, put video games on their computers, and movies. I'm waiting for someone to hack into the administrator account on the laptops and spread the password so people can just change the settings.
I wanted to put an emulator on here so I wouldn't have to download the games separately but I might not be able to until someone does get the password so I can change the download settings.

Sign Language~
I haven't really had too much interesting going on in my life lately, well, I'm sure that I have, I just can't think of anything.
Right now, I'm working really hard on my sign language. I'm trying to learn the song Snuff by Slipknot is SEE which is turning out to be really hard because a lot of sites want to teach ASL. I would happily learn ASL if I had someone who would sit down and take the time to teach it to me.
Until then, I am slowly working on SEE. I know most of the song, but the signs are mixed between SEE and ASL. ;-; I don't even have the signs for some things because I can't find a sign for them, words like of, that, and to...
Then, I went to an English teacher that I had last year and asked her to help me because she is fluent in sign language. I was so proud when I went in there because I had learned so many more signs since I had last seen her, but then I found out that they were all ASL which doesn't do me any good if there isn't anyone to teach me how to sign it. She helped teach me a few signs in SEE for the song that I need.
I will get this damn it.
And wow, I just want to mention that I am typing really fast on this laptop and it's kinda neat because when I got it, I didn't think that I would be able to do this. ^-^
