Dawn's flower.... no such, right? wrong. in every dawn, there is a flower that blooms, whether a real flower or whether it's something new that comes from nothing or something. in my world, I am that flower. my mind is full of things that suddenly appear, sometimes crap, and sometimes things that make you think and wonder, while making perfect sense or complete non-sense. and although i am just a teenager, i am still blooming with thoughts, ideas, and experience that i believe everyone can know about. so, find a soft spot, get your cuddle buddy, and enjoy the view of Dawn
my name is Dawn. well, sorta. my middle name is Shao-wei, meaning Dawnflower in chinese (hence, Dawn's Flower....). i am only 15 years old and as many of my friends say, my brain isn't really all together. however, i have thoughts that i think are important, or just dumb yet i want to share them. sometimes, my outlet of expression is through writing. although sometimes, i feel that i can't always say them outloud, but they have to be written to have meaning and thought run through the words. it's no wonder that i love to write... writing is different than talking. writing can have meaning, but have grace and art formed from it. it can be as beautiful as Dawn *snicker* or as plain as a piece of paper.... so long as it is something.....
Take some time for you to reflect on everything. * Have fun...
Thanks for the visit
always happy to have people pay me a visit thanks love your journal really nice have a great w/e
I'm in the lovely national capital of Canada where the trees are in all sorts of colour right now. LOL you are the same age as my daughter, and I'm thinking this is a lot like what she would write.
Heya! Thanks for stopping by my journal, I'm glad you like it!
Your pictures are great btw! Hope you have a great week!
well, once again, i really cant name anything, and i really have nothing that serious to talk about. i mean, i think this morning while i was taking my shower i did, but then.... it went POOF... i'm so good at remembering stuff....
anyway, so far, life is fantastic and a nightmare. me and carson: going great. however, he scared me half to death when he wasn't at the bus stop this morning and didn't come to school on time... we have 0 hour together and he wasn't there. i was scared that he got sick, but halfway through the class, he walked in and says "sorry, i needed my sleep".... that was annoying. but, it was relieving for me. so, the class went on, being bored and learning something that didn't need more work (for me and maybe carson), Nick making everyone laugh (more on that later) and then we left 7 minutes early (the school doesn't keep track, just so long as we dont leave EXTREMELY early... unless it's a test and then we leave. i got to leave 23 minutes before the bell!). i met carson outside the door and we walked off to change our books like normal. well, i guess. today, i think, he was holding me tighter than normal, and i liked it. yesterday's conversation was really good and i think it helped both of us. i know that he cares so much about our relationship and he will protect me. me, i just feel like an idiot. i can't help him much no matter how much i want to and he just keeps on saving me ass. i WANT to be of some help, whenever he needs it, but i don't know when or how when that happens. all i truly know is that i've never been happier to be with him. and to think, those thoughts went through my head in a matter of 5 seconds. lol it took me what? 2 minutes to write all that? ha ha! i'm pathetic. anyway, on with the school day! we walked to class and we parted our ways when we came to my guitar class (our classes are in the same halls, so we go to my class, we hug our hugs, then he goes to history). and then i learned that our speaker wasn't coming.... HOW CRAPPY IS THAT?! so, we ended up just playing junk in our books. really, nothing special except we learned stuff on the I, IV, and V chords. lol i envy Mary for taking musical theory already. i am actually thinking of taking that later on. anyway, things were good, but luke and jordan were bugging me, the normal way.
then math.... not cool. i got my quiz back and i did horrible. of course, apparently so did a lot of other people. the quiz was harder than all of our homework and any other quiz we have ever taken. so, you can guess what i got.... hey, it was above 50% at least! anyway, it was crap and we went over pretty much ALL the questions i got wrong, so that kinda sucked, yet helped, but still sucked. then, we had pretty much a do anything day. i learned that a kid named sean was writing a story and wanted it published. kinda like me, only i suck at FINISHING them... i have great storylines, perfect characters, and my friends say i am a great writer, it's just that i have issues with finishing them. i am horrible at short stories. my short stories are like, 4-8 pages (college-ruled paper, double sided, so that's a lot) and if i were to write a regular long story, let's see..... 3 notebooks? yeah, that sounds right. i write that much. everything i write is very elaborate and for some reason, i get stuck in the middle because (from what i am guessing), i don't have enough experience to actually finish whatever it is. like, i don't know how to solve a missing crime where the victim is just there to sing in a competition and i don't know what it's like to be in an arranged marriage and i don't know so many things, it drives me insane. anyway, all i did during that math period was write a little more on a poem. i think it'll be a rap, to be more precise, but not quite sure. if i can get carson to rap it, then it's a rap. he's my chinese rapper, so i gotta see if he likes it.
language arts, i finally got my book. it turns out that yesterday, when everyone got their books (if they bought it through the school. they pay the money, the school buys it FOR them), i was the only one on that list that didn't get a book. either miss a missed me somehow, or the order was screwed. either way, i didn't get my book. so, i got it today and i heard my teacher's dramatic story to get my book. after school, when she could leave, she went to the hospital to see a friend and then had to go across town to a Border's (where they bought the books) to get another, then drive once again across the town to get home. lol she did all that for me. i am truly one of her students! well, this class was rather dull as well. all we did was read our book, Life of Pi. i got so far to where a lot of us were making fun of this one part where Pi, a guy when he was young, saw his swim teacher strip infront of him to go swimming. a lot of us misunderstood that as if he liked it. it made a lot of us laugh.
then lunch, then band. rather dull except IT WAS HORRIBLE. our band director, arata, wasn't there, so we had my guitar teacher (who also helps with band, mainly the drum line and pit), renner, manage our practice. she had no idea what to do other than we should clean it up and take it one page at a time. that was hard. she had issues with telling us WHERE to go when we had to start over. it was annoying and the class seemed like it took forever.
then biology. wow. dull yet important. we did nothing but study for our quarter final. i know i should have studied, but i just slept. really, my teacher doesn't even care because he believes that if i miss anything, i miss it and should be smart enough to find out what it was. well, you cant really miss anything when you study except for study time. i don't study (i guess that's why i suck at school. go figure), but i looked at all that i REALLY needed, like the junk on the review sheet that i truly had absolutely no idea of. so, after that, i slept. i guess that wasn't smart cause right now, i have a C+ and if i don't get that up, i can't go to homecoming. i need to go cause carson already bought the ticket for the both of us and the only way to get my grade up is this and to find out why my lab that i turned in didn't get a grade.... that's just annoying...
history.... nothign important other than i need to turn in a late assignment this friday before it's too late.... sad, right?
alright. i said that i would talk about Nick from spanish. well, here's teh prologue: this week, since it's homecoming and the last week of the quarter, we have these spirit days:
Monday - STOPLIGHT DAY (wear green if you've got a date for homecoming, yellow if you are just going or thinking about it, red if you're not going at all)
Tuesday - 80's DAY (really dumb. dress like you're in the 80's)
Wednesday - SUPERHERO DAY (dress like your superhero)
Thursday - PAJAMA DAY (nuff said. i really cant wait for this one!)
Friday - SPIRIT WEAR DAY (wear gold and/or purple)
so, today was superhero day and nick was dressed as a girl. it was either Miss A or a superstar... one or the other. it was so hilarious! he comes in and all of us think it's a girl who overdressed, but no! it was nick. dude! he even had the boobs to go along with it! he had teh wig, the hose, the HIGH HEELS, the hat, the scarf, IT WAS AMAZING! so, when it came to play practice, that was even funnier! nick plays the second leading roll of Thoroughly Modern Millie, our musical, as Jimmy. so, before that, we have our little meeting talking about random stuff that needs talking about. so, when it comes to next semester's play, we are planning to do Hamlet. Miss A asks if any boys who are SURE that they want to audition for that would stand up. about 10 guys stood up, then one girl named Nick stood up. so many in there didn't realize it was nick, till everyone started to laugh and explained it to them. so, as a joke, miss a said "ya know what, i think i found out (girl in teh play, but i forgot her name) for the play". that was funny because after she said that, he start jumping up and down and clapping. no one could control their laughter! i wish i had my camera, but i think someone has the picture. WHO WOULDN'T HAVE A PICTURE OF HIM AS A GIRL?!
anyway, play was okay. we went through the entire first act, but me and ANOTHER nick, we were messing around with each other (not sexual, for those who think that way, i mean he would steal my soda and i would chase him cause i wanted my sprite back) and then we came to a janitor. she was really nice and we talked for a half hour. and in that half hour, i learned more than i could in geometry for an hour. her name is Sue and she was 60 years old. she told us her working conditions for being a janitor. it was creepy. she's 60 years old and she works from 3-11:30 PM. PM! plus, she has a family and a really cute dog! and she's always here when us students aren't.... then i learned a lot about nick. he also has a dog and two cats, one who's fat and teh other's skinny. well, we talked more, and it was really fun. then, we realized that we had to figure out where they were in the play. we weren't needed at the time, so that's why we had that long talk. then, when we arrived back, we realized we were needed and we missed it. i was lucky cause i wasn't really that important in that number, but nick was, so he got in a little trouble. but, we got away with it, especially me.
well, today was really cold and windy. so, when we had to leave, me and emily (a friend who lives across teh street from carson, lol) had to go on teh bus. it was rainging a little and teh wind, unimaginable. so, when teh bus came, i was so happy. THE BUS WAS FREAKING WARM!!!! well, other than me and em, another kid was on. we were talking a lot with each other, saying how she and carson SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING THEIR ESSAYS A WEEK AGO, but now that they need to work on them, they're due tomorrow. they have a 5 paragraph essay on Andrew Jackson due tomorrow and both only had an intro and that was it just yesterday! thank GOD i'm in regular history. anyway, we talked a lot about homecoming too. she's not going to be here on friday, so she needs to buy her ticket tomorrow or else she cant come, so i said if she forgets, i'll buy it for her, she'll just owe me back.
after a bus ride home, brit arrive at the EXACT same time as the bus, which was really funny. so, we talked and i said i would come over to see her dresses that she bought. well, one was this UGLY brown/orange that was WAY too low-cut. so, i said no. then, she brought out this REALLY pretty black strapless dress (but had teh little ties that tie behind teh neck) and even though she looked like a fairy, i said to make it funny so i could wear it really fast, "brit, you don't look like a fairy. you look like a goth pixie." yeah, that didn't help, but we switched dresses. they said i looked good in her dress and brit looked mature in my dress. so, i suggested that we switch. well, that didn't work out either. oh well. i still like my own dress, so i'm good.
well, that was my day. nothing phillosohpical to say... if that makes sense at all. anyway, i wonder what will happen tomorrow, especially since my quarter final and my math test that could determine if my dad kills me or not are gonna happen tomorrow.... i'm scared. well, i hope things work out, cause that wouldn't be good if they didn't. which just right now makes me think of yesterday's conversation. carson said my grades weren't hot, and they aren't, but he said that could cause us to not see each other that much. i don't want that to happen, so wish me good luck. i need this to be with him.
