Well, I'm sitting in school right. I don't have anything else to do besides Geometry, so why not write. Atleast then I'm working on my typing skills and language...hahaha. Though it is better than just sitting here. That would get quite boring. Why does school always have to be so damn boring? If it wouldn't be so boring, more kids would actually like going. But I know that that will never happen...haha. I only have one class left, Physical Science, but that is the worst class of the day. That's the only class that I wish that would just drop off of the face of the earth. It would make school 99% better. Especially with the teacher that I have. I can't wait until this weekend! Some of my friends are coming over or I'm going to a friend's house. Honestly, I'd rather go the the a friends house, but I guess that whatever happens should be fun. I hope anyways. I can't believe that I can't find anything to write about. This is really hard to do!!! When I first came up with this idea of writing on here I thought that it would be quite easy, but I see that I'm wrong now. I still have 27 minutes left of study hall. Can you believe that? It seems like I've been writing here forever. Well, I think that this is enough for now. Bye-Bye!

December 13, 2001

I can't believe that it has been three days since I wrote here. Well, I'm sitting in study hall once again-figure that one out...lol. I just finished my Spanish and English so have absolutely nothing to do, besides listen to music, which I am also doing. I can't live without music. I don't know what would happen in my life if I didn't have music. I know that I wouldn't be as happy! It helps me with everything I do. I'm so bored. I can't wait to get home! I don't have basketball practice tonight, so I'm actually going to have time to do what I want to do tonight: which has to be the first in a long time. Though my mom is making my go to my Grandma's house. It is so boring over there, but yet I know that I have to go. Though maybe when she get's home she won't want to go. That would make my day! I hardly dought that that will happen. I could only wish that could. It woudln't be so bad going there, but it's really boring! Tomorrow I have a basketball game. We should win it, but the last time we thought that we would win we lost really really bad. But hopefull we'll win no matter what! It's just a game and everything, so it really doesn't matter. Plus, I'm not a varsity, so it doesn't matter if we win or lose, though it'd be nice to win. I don't want Sunday to come! I have a band concert. I hate playing in band concerts. The worst part is sitting and waiting for my turn. It bugs me. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just the high school band, but its the choir and intermediate band. So that's what really sucks. But I guess that they have to sit and listen to us, so I suppose that it's only right for us to do the same! I can't wait until this weekend though, especially if Sunday never came! I get to see my niece and nephew again. I don't get to see them enough now that I'm in basketball. Otherwise I always baby-sat on Tuesdays and Thursdays while Rachel was at school and Jason was at work. But now I have basketball practice while she's in school. So that really stinks. Well anyways, I think that I'm going to write a letter to Kristin, bye-bye.

December 23, 2001

Can you believe it? I haven't written in my journal for over a week! Finally, Christmas break! I'm so happy! I get off of school for the next week and a half! That is the greatest feeling in the world! Kristin was over the last two nights. It was pretty fun. Though now I'm extremely tired and can't sleep. But that's okay since I don't have to go to school or anything tomorrow. It's snowing for the first time this year! It makes me so happy! Hopefully we will get enough to go snowmobiling with. I don't like snow unless there is enough to go snowmobiling with. Last night I high-lighted my hair. It looks pretty good, but not the greatest. It took forever to do! I had Christmas at my mom's house last night. I didn't get many things, but what I did get costed a little bit of money. I got a pair of Saphire and Diamond earings with a matching ring. They are really pretty. Then I got an 18" Black light, a "Spanish for Dummies" C.D. rom, toe socks, hair bands, a lot of clothes, a Polaris jacket, and a Diamond heart shaped necklace that is also really pretty. I'm very satisfied with what I got, especially when I think that there are people in the world that don't get anything at all. I can't wait until Christmas day now. That's when we having Christmas at my Grandparents house. It should be pretty cool. I know that I'm getting a lot of glow-n-dark things from my little sister...she picked my name this year...and I wasn't suppose to find out. She has a really big mouth. I don't know what I'm getting from my aunt or Grandparents yet. They always get me the wierdest things. I feel like I could just fall asleep typing because I'm so tired. But I know that if I wouldn't go and try to sleep I'd never be able to do it. I have to work on my webpage for World History yet. It going to be awesome when I get done with it. I only have until the 11th of January to finish it...actually 3 days before then because that's when it's due. I should have picked something easier to do, but people that know me know that I never take the easy things. It's defiently giving my a challenge...finding the information and rewriting it all and then finally putting it on my webpage. Once I get done with it though I'll be able to show it off in class like, 'look what I did, I bet that none of you can do this' type of attitude while presenting it to the class. Today in church I got pretty mad. My teacher told me that I have to change me room. Can you believe that? It made me mad. She doesn't live in it, I do. She said that it sounded to Gothic or something. Figure that one out. Sh even said that I have to change, or work on, the type of music that I listen to. I don't listen to anything bad either. Just Eminem, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Ja Rule...ext. Nothing bad at all. Well, I think that I'm going to go and work on my other webpage. Bye-Bye!

January 15, 2002

Wow! It's been along time since I've written in here! Probably longer than a month! Either I have just had a REALLY REALLY boring time and had nothing to talk about or I've just been too busy to write...probably too busy to write. Finals were last week. I haven't found out how I've done, though I think that I did pretty good. I've been so busy the last couple of weeks. Between basketball, school, and band I've been leading a pretty busy life. I hardly have time for my friends anymore...which to me is a very scary thought. Though some things in life are just meant to be taken more seriously...like school and band. Yesturday I changed my school schedule. I added a class and I'm so happy for it. Finally I got rid of my 7th hour study hall. Though I think that in the long run I'm going to miss it. That's usually when I was so bored that I would work on my webpage. Now I'll just have to take the time and work on it different times. I wanted to pick up a erving class on the Human Behavior:Native Issues, but it was only for the juniors and seniors. It made me so mad! The guidence counselor was going to let me until another "bad student" came a long and wanted it. She can't let one have it without the other, so needless to say I didn't get it! But oh well I guess...Life moves on! Instead of getting that class I had to move my first hour class, World History, to 7th hour, where normally I'd have my study hall. I replaced first hour World History with a record/information processing class. So far it is pretty cool. I have only had it one day and already I like it. I know that I wouldn't want to do it 24/7 or anything, but its all good...especially since I get to work with computers. That's probably the best thing about it all! Basketball is going terribly bad...though MAYBE it'll get a little better. At the beginning of the year we started out with 11 players and we did get down to 8...inwhich one couldn't play. Now we are back up to 9, which REALLY pisses me off!!!! The last two practices there have only been 4 people at practice because the others skipped. Tonight at the game, one of the girls that quit before decided to show up and play. I can't believe that the coach let her play!! She has been out for 2-3 weeks...no practices or games and she came in and played most of the game today! I think that a LOT of people were mad. Though a lot of people don't like the coach either so that didn't make matters any better!! We actually won tonight too! The score was 47-27! I couldn't believe it! It was a lot of fun! I think that our coach is finally realizing when she pushes us to our limits that we don't play good. So maybe she'll back off a little bit. I hope she does too because ALL of us play better. I think that tonight she kindof found that out...or I hope that she did! I've been so happy lately! Even though I've had tons and tons and tons of homework, it seems like it's all good. Most of its on the computers, so that's probably why I think that it's all good! I'm working on a webpage for my World History class. When I get done with it its going to be REALLY REALLY REALLY big and cover a lot of different information and time periods. Right now I just have Ancient Egypt done and I'm working on Ancient Rome. I have about another 8 weeks to work on it, so I hope that I get done everything that I want to. This really doesn't make any, I should be working on the webpage but instead I'm working on my own. Talk about wierd! I'll work on it later tonight I guess. I'll work on it right before I go to bed so I can fall asleep doing something that I love! But yeah, anyways! Band is getting harder and harder everyday it seems. I have a class A duet with my best friend, Kristin, and we are doing a Class A Festival Piece as a whole band. Oh yeah, I'm doing a Class B solo for piano too. So I've been doing a lot of practicing at school. Normally I'd practice during my study halls, but now that I have one every other day, I've going to have to work hard at school and at home on the weekends! But that's what I dedicated myself to in fifth grade when I decided to go out for band. I knew from the beginning that it was going to be a lot of hard work and dedication...especially with the band instructor that we have. He pushes us to our limits and expects only the best from EVERYONE! He's pretty strict and everything, though it all pays off in the end...especially when we go on our trips! I can't wait to go on one, but yet I DON'T want to go this year!!! I want to be atleast a junior when I go so that I'm a better player. Though that wouldn't be good either because then the instructor would expect more of me! Well, I think that I'm going to go and work on some homework...bye-bye.

January 16, 2002

Hey! I'm doing pretty good. I'm already at two days in a row! Can you believe that? I don't even know why I write here. Most people won't read it anyways. I guess that I have to keep myself busy anyways. Write now I'm sitting in Recording: Information Processing. Now I know why I took this class! I get to go on the computer to do what I want. So that's pretty cool! I hope today goes by a lot better than every other day. I already switched my spot for World History...the seating arrangement. So it's already is starting out good. I just hope that it keeps going the way that it is. Though I guess that everything happens for a reason. This class goes by so fast. I wish that she would give us more time to work with the computers. She gives us before the bell rings and sometimes 5 minutes at the end. Anytime in between you can't do anything on the computers. So it does kindof suck. But oh well I guess. I guess that there won't be a class that is totally with computers. But I wish that they was. Well I have about 45 seconds left so I beter be going, bye-bye.

January 22, 2002

You'll never guess what class I'm in right now! I'm in Recording! I have about twenty minutes to write, but I don't think that I'm going to be writing that whole time due to the fact that I really don't know what to write about. Hopefully things will just pop in my head as I type. Though I don't think that that is going to happen. Today is going to suck so bad! I'm so tired! This class is pretty boring. Actually I only have a couple of minutes to write. My teacher just said that she's going to give us a couple of minutes to finish what we were working on. Why can't she just give us the rest of the class period to work on it? That would be the best thing that she could do at this point in time! Though I hardly doubt that she'll give us that much time since she is a little wierd and all. But then again what teacher isn't wierd...especially in my school! ALL the teachers are atleast a little wierd in their own way! I can't believe that I don't have anything to write about. So I'm going to go, bye-bye.

January 23, 2002

WO! I'm actually not typing in Recording! I'm in English this time. I already have all of the information that I need from the internet for my research paper, so I'm just messing around! I have about 15 minutes left, but I want to check my email too. So I really don't know how much I'm going to write today. Nothing is happening in my life...like normal. Though last night I had a basketball game and we got wooped majorly!!!! I don't even know if I could call it a game! Our star player was out for the game because she yelled at a girl the last game and got kicked out. So WIAA rules say that if you get kicked out of a game you have to sit out the next game. It really really sucked! But oh well, it's just a game. I have a feeling that we are going to get in big trouble in practice tonight! Coach was extremely mad at us for loosing so badly! But oh well, practice will just be hell...but what's new? I absolutely DO NOT want to go to practice! Though when do I? I hate going to practice, though I do anyways. I'm not most of the other players on my team! There's really only four of us that are dedicated to basketball and the team. The others just want to play in the games without practicing...which doesn't work at all! Wow!! I still have like ten minutes left! I am so bored! I don't know what to write anymore either! This sucks! Well, I think that I'm going to go and work on some other homework...bye-bye.

January 28, 2002

I'm totally bored out of my mind right now. I'm sitting in Recording...again...and I finished my assignment so I don't have anything to do. I have 15 minutes of class, but I think that she's going to give us another assignment because quite a few people are starting to finish already. I know that if most of the people wouldn't get in done she would give us more time to work on it. But oh well I guess. I don't want to go to band today! We are suppose to have a playing test, and I can't play the part that we need to play! I'm going to have to practice during my study hall third hour and during my lunch. I don't want to have to practice this whole week during my lunch time. That isn't fun. You don't have to practice very long...only 30 minutes...but still, that's time that I could be working on homework or hanging with friends. This class is so easy! I don't even know why I took it, but oh well now.

January 39, 2002

I'm so happy! We won another basketball game!!! It's like our fifth one this season! We are on a roll...lol. I can't wait until tomorrow! I'm only going to be at school for maybe 30 minutes! I get to go to a math meet, in which the test only lasts an hour and then the rest of the day we get to walk around the city. I was in the city all summer so I know where everything is. It's going to be a lot of fun! After we get back from there, I get to go to El Tapatio (a Spanish resturant) for Spanish Club. I hope that a lot of people go. So far I know that only me and another girl are going. Though I practically know that there will be more. I guess that that best part about tomorrow is that I don't have to go to basketball practice! I'm just not having fun playing this year! I don't know why either. I think it's because all the coach worries about is winning, and that's NOT the way that our team is! We don't care about winning or loosing...we like to have fun. Usually when we don't care about winning or loosing we play a lot better than if we "have" to win! But I guess that that's just my opinion. OH YEAH!!!! I almost forgot! I died my hair this last weekend! I don't really know if I like it of not yet though everyone else REALLY likes it! Instead of it being blonde it's pretty red. I wanted it to be brown with a reddish tint, but it turned our red with a brownish tint...lol. I'll have to take a picture of it and put it on here. Though that won't be for a while! Well, I think that I'm going to bed so that I won't fall asleep during the test tomorrow, bye-bye.

February 4, 2002

I'm back!!! LOL. Anyways, I am in the greatest mood in the world! I don't know why either! I think that it might be because I only got 3 hours of sleep last night. When I don't get enough sleep I get really hyper, and when I'm hyper I'm in a good mood. But that's only one of the many reason that I can think of at this point in time! Guess what class I'm sitting in! You guessed it! Recording...or what the teacher calls "Record Keeping, Data Processing Class." Talk about a mouth full! We still have five minutes of class! This sucks! I already wrote a five page letter to my best friend! But that only took me about 15 minutes. We had a test today, so we got a lot of free-time. I hate the people in this class. Though not all of them! They complain when she doesn't give us free-time, but then when the teacher does give it to us they waist it by talking. And they wonder why she doens't give it to us often. Why can't people actually be smart and mature at the same time? WOW!! That might actually make a good combination! I think that the teacher is getting a little dustrated too. I pitty ALL the teachers that teach at my school! I swear that my school is the worst school around! Though I don't think that I'd go to a bigger school, or a different one! I can't say that I don't like going here, just that the kids are ALL stupid, immature, and LAZY!...probably one of the worst combination that any person can have. We have a new kid in our class too! I really didn't get to talk to him or anything, but he seems pretty cool! This is our first new kid since 7th grade...besides Stacey. But she really doesn't count because she came to this school for a couple of years before. So in my mind she doens't count as a "new student." Though I guess that that's my opinion! I guess that this new kids name is Moin and he's from Indiana. Though that's all I really know about him. Well, class is almost over, so I'm going to go and find something else to do. Bye-Bye.

February 14, 2001

I can't believe that I haven't written in here for about two weeks! By the way- Happy Valentine's Day! I haven't been able to get on-line much, since I'm grounded and all. It totally sucks! I haven't been able to check my email either. Though that's really the only thing that I'm grounded from! The good thing is that I can check my excite (bethany2005@excite.com) at school, so my mom doesn't know that I've been checking my email. If she'd find out, I'd be dead! I'm not even suppose to be on the computer right now, but how is she ever going to find out? I don't know what to say! Nothing has been going on in my life since I've been grounded for the last two weeks! I should be ungrounded by the end of next month! I better be anyways. Though I guess that I shouldn't be complaining because I think I got a pretty relaxed punishment! Well, I'm going to be going, bye-bye.

February 19, 2002

I'm so happy today! I get to leave school at 1:45. I get to go to school with my older sister. It should be pretty fun! Then tonight I get out of pep-band because my other sister should be having her baby sometime this morning...HOPEFULLY!!!! She's been in the hospital since yesturday morning. The doctors softened her pelvic, or whatever, last night. They were going to induce her this morning. If she's anything like my other sister, the baby won't come at all! With both of my sister's kids, Schuylar and Caleb, she had to have C-sections...even after being induced. Eliza doesn't know what she's going to have. I told my mom that if she had it that she was suppose to call me at school because I want to know ASAP! My dad had his hip replaced last week. He says that he's doing better already, but I don't think so. Bonnie, my step-mom, says that he's been a "pain in the ass" since it happened! He's not used to sitting down all day and not being able to go outside or anything, so I can see her point. Well, I'm going to go and check my e-mail, bye-bye.

May 1, 2002

WOW! I haven't written in here for about 3 months! I can't believe it. Alot has happened in that time too! On February 19 (the last day I wrote), my sister Eliza had a baby girl. She named her Ashley Kay. She weighed nine pounds, 1 once and was 20 1/2 inches long. She is now eight weeks old and has passed up her cousin that is almost 6 months old! I could not believe that when she told me. Everything is going good for the both of them. This last weekend Rachel's family went to Sears to get their pictures taken. I went with because I can usually get Schuylar to take really cute pictures. It totally sucked! We sat there for about an hour trying to get Schuylar to take just one picture. We got her to smile in the family picture, though her head was not straight. That is the only picture that we got of her all day. Usually she loves pictures too. I couldn't believe it. Kevin has a new girlfriend. She is awesome! She's over just about every night. I think that they are going to get married within the next couple of years. They are already planning to build a house. I hope that they do get married. She would be an awesome sister-in-law, especially because I only get to have one of those. I get to have 2, possible three brother-in-laws, but only one sister-in-law. That sucks! I would rather have sister-in-laws than brother-in-laws. But oh well I guess. It's my parents fault for not having more boys instead of all the girls. Though I don't think that I would be able to live with more than one brother. They seem to be pains in the ass! I worked at a track meet yesturday. There were alot of hot guys there too. I had a lot of fun just watching the guys. I was out for track, but then I had to quit because I was extremely sick and my grades dropped from A+'s to F's, and there's not possible was that I can live with that. Last night my friend Brandon came over and I put corn rows in his hair. I thought that they looked like shit, but he said that they didn't look too bad. So I don't know if he's saying that just to be nice, or if he actually thinks they don't look too bad. I think that they look horrible. It took me 1 1/2 hours just to do the ones that I did. If we would have had more time, I would have tried to get the sections smaller and have more braids. But oh well I guess, life goes on. I'm hopefully getting my horse bread next month. I can't wait. I can't wait for school to get out! We have about 23 days left of school. It seems so far away! I hope that the time flies by. I can't wait for summer, though it is going to be EXTREMELY busy. The first two weeks of summer I have to go to summer school to take driver's ed so I can get my temps. Though actually it's really only a week and a half because the 12th of June I get to go back to school for six weeks. I'm in a summer program where I stay at a college campus and go to classes there. I also get to go on trips like to zoos, pro baseball games, water parks, St. Louis, and many other awesome places. I also get high school credits for it. It is awesome. I'm going to have to get into a habit of writing in here again! I'm in the process of taking more pictures and posting them on here. Well, I'm going to be going. Hopefully I'll write in here again tomorrow.

May 3, 2002

Hey! I'm actually doing pretty good...two out of three days. WOW! That has to be the first in a long time! I'm sitting in Record Keeping waiting to take a test. The teacher is explaining something that I already know. But oh well. This test should be pretty easy. I haven't gotten a grade below a 94 so far on one of these tests. So I should be able to get a good grade. This class is so easy, I just have to learn to slow down a little. I rush my assignments so I don't have any homework, and then I make stupid mistakes. Life goes on though! Well, I'm going to take the test, c'ya. That test didn't take long at all! It only took me about 10 minutes to finish. It was so easy. I wish that it would be a little more challenging. I don't even know why I write in here. No one probably reads these anyways! if someone is actually reading these, will you please send me a letter to tell me that you are (bethanywi@hotmail.com) Thanks. If now one responds, I don't think I'm going to write in here. Though it is keeping a journal, which I should do. I just hate writing in a normal journal in fear that my mom will read it. I know she can read this, but that doesn't bother me because I know she never will. She's not a computer type of person. Plus she doesn't know my URL. It's not like I write anything juicy in here anyways, just the normal basics. This class is so boring! I still have twenty minutes left too. I am working on getting more pictures on the picture pages. I just took about 50 pictures, so we'll see how it goes. Actually I think I took closer to sixty. Though I won't put all those on, only the good ones. I don't even know what is all on them. A couple of my friends took my camera and snapped some pictures. So I bet that I'll have quite a few wierd ones that I might not be able to tell what they are. It'll be funny to see what the pictures are all of. Especially with Scott having it. He had for two hours! There should be some interesting ones there!!! But oh well, I was the one that told him he could take some pictures if he wanted to. Needless to say, he wanted to take a lot of them. I'm going to get the pictures developed tonight, so hopefully by the end of may I'll have them on here. Many of the pictures are of my friends. I don't think that there are too many crazy ones. You know, in school we can't be that crazy...the teachers already think that we are NUTZ! But that's their problem...right? Tomorrow I have state solo ensemble for band. I really don't want to go! I know that I have to go because I already missed the BIG compitition for the band because of being sick. If I would have gone to that then I would skip tomorrow. I also have a wedding to go to...which I really don't want to go to, but my mom is kindof making me go. Well, I have to make some corrections on the rest of my page, so I better get going. C'YA! Don't forget to e-mail me if you read this!! (bethanywi@hotmail.com)

May 10,2001

Hello! Hello! Hello! I'm in a really good mood today. I can't type either, but that's besides the point! Last night was pretty interesting! Brandon and Amanda came over and stayed until about 12:30. It was pretty cool. I braided Brandon's hair again. This time the rows are much smaller. I think that there are nine braids when last time there were only seven. This was the first time that I met Amanda. She seemed pretty cool. It would be pretty cool to party with her. She seems like she would be fun to party with, as well as Brandon..lol. The principle came into the room. He is so stupid sometimes...I have to be nice, I don't know who all reads this. My great uncle died this past Wednesday. I really didn't know him that good, but the one thing that I REALLY remember about him is that he always gave us quarters. He lived in an old farm house next to my grandparents' house. He didn't like to cook, so my aunt would prepare meals and take them over to him in his house. On the weekends that we were there, all of us kids (my sisters and cousins) practically faught to take his meal over to him. But the catch was that only one of us could take it over. Usually I was the one that would take it over because I was usually the first to ask to. After we'd give him his food, he'd give us his dishes from the meal before with a quarter on top. I remember one time he didn't have any quarters so he gave me a dollar instead. A quarter now is no big deal, but when I was five and six, it was a life's saving. That's probably one thing that I'll never forget. Between that and some of the stories Dad tells me. Another time I remember was when we were bouchering. Dad was cutting of the legs with a boucher knife and Arlie came out and started to yell at him because he wasn't doing it right. He WASN'T suppose to be cutting it off with a boucher knife, but instead the hax-saw. It was so funny. I don't think Dad knew what to say. Every time we boucher we still bring that up, or we did. I don't know what it'll be like anymore. That's all that I really remember of him because he went to a nursing home about 3-4 years ago already. It hasn't seemed that long, but I'm pretty sure it has been that long. I have over 1/2 hour to write...though I don't think that I'll write that long. That is a LONG time to write, especially when you really don't know what to say. Today I get out of school at 12:20! I'm so excited! I want to go home! I'm sick of school and can't wait for it to be over with!!!! The yearly Pow-Wow is this afternoon at the school so the kids, with an advance make-up slip, can go. The kids without one have to go to classes and then the teacher decides if they go or not. I'm not going to the Pow-Wow and I'm not going to classes. I'm going home because I have the baby-sit...hahaha. Nice excuse, Huh? That's what I thought. I can't wait for summer! I want to go back to Upward bound!!!! Staying at home is so boring, especially with the weather we have been having. It's been cold and very windy. I want to get outside and do some horse back riding, but do you think that I can? I don't think so. I'd freeze to deather before I'd get my horse saddled up...lol. It wouldn't be so bad, but the wind is really cold and really strong. I think that everytime I write here I say something about wanting summer to come and wanting to go back to Upward Boung. I think that's pretty funny. Well, I'm going to go and mess around on the computer. I'll probably end up working more on my webpage that I'll NEVER get done with. But oh well, it gives me something to do. Well, I'm really going now. Bye-bye.

This weekend was pretty interesting. I stayed at Rachel's house all weekend! I baby-sat Saturday night for a little while. Rachel and Jason had to run to town, so I just stayed back and baby-sat for a little while. I just thought of something. I have to research for a report, so I'm going to write later. bye-bye.
