Second To Last Post

Sorry guys, but I can't continue the blog. Graduation is indeed 17 days away and I have everything to be excited for, but recently my best friend Brice Murphy died. I think I made a post about him earlier this year before Spring Break, but I find nothing exciting about school anymore, not since Brice isn't going to be there for it anymore.

I'm not going to quit on life. That's a promise I've made to myself, but the promise I will make to Brice is this: I will spend my life doing what it is that I love, doing what I want, because life can be easily taken away before someone's done what it is that they want.

I know that if Brice was in my life for several more years it would be great, it would be a much better life, but this is something that I'm going to have to get used to this. Wish me luck and look for my last post for the last day of school.

Brice Murphy

Thank goodness and all that's above for my most awesome friend Brice Murphy. I've only known him for three months now but I've felt we've been friends for longer, almost a lifetime I swear! But, in truth, I've never met anyone like him. I mean the guy is so full of wisdom and smart ideas and he's so up-to-date with his psyche. The great thing about Brice is that, with his great wisdom, he does what he can to use it to help people. You know I don't think I've ever been annoyed by him at all! There is nothing annoying about him. He's just that kind of person who will give someone his full attention and makes them feel good, he's a lot like my uncle. Oh my gosh, and all the times that we've gotten together and just chilled have been the best! I especially love how he is dating my friend Alycia (Cia) because they are just perfect together, they are so great and I don't think they'd find someone better in their high school years.

What I've loved about Brice is how helpful he's been with me. The other week I almost had a meltdown at work and I talked to him for thirty minutes and he just helped to calm me down and figure things out. I didn't enjoy going back to work, but I did feel better; I wasn't as stressed nor upset. To me, Brice is my twin; meaning we're very much alike! Everyday after art class we walk together to meet up with our friends at lunch and we're just arguing the entire way over something ridiculous, but it just goes to show how stubborn we both are. And, I don't know, I'm just happy with Brice there. I guess I've kind of stayed with Tim because of Brice.

And, whatever weird way the universe works in, I feel like I've known Brice for longer than I actually have. I feel like we were actually twins sometime in a past life. Whatever twins we were, I kind of hope we weren't like Selene Cleopatra and Alexander Helios (Cleopatra's children) because Selene lost her brother and I don't want to lose Brice. There's so much life left for him to live and I hope that our paths stay straight and aligned for a long time.

So, thank you, Brice, for helping me and for being my little brother.

Day 123 - 126

So I've been gone for quite a while and that's all due to me getting the last of my wisdom teeth out. Yay! Surprisingly the pain wasn't all that terrible, my bottoms seemed a lot worse. So yeah I've missed out on a lot of school and have a lot of homework to catch up on when Monday comes around.

Day 122

Holy cow, I am so not ready to be back at school. I had to set seven alarms on my phone and use my digital just to ensure that I wouldn't miss the bus! The morning was alright, I actually helped my friend Sabrina through something that was troubling her. I feel bad and kind of wish there was more that I could do for her besides just be at her side and not be able to really do SOMETHING. Like I said, the morning was alright. My caterpillar is doing a phenomenal job, especially since Jezzie is all tucked up in her cocoon and will be hatching sometime soon. In art we have continued to try to use charcoal to draw the human figure in various forms and values and I totally hate it. Don't get me wrong, the curriculum is good but I just really suck at figure drawing. More practice will help, that's for sure.

In personal Finance it was just a day to catch up on our work and turn in anything that is missing, yada yada. And choir we're getting ready for our two music competitions!

Day 121

Today was just an assembly that happened to be so boring and easily ditchable. Because of this and next week being the PARCC testing all my classes didn't do much. So, until March I won't be posting thanks to my week off!

Day 120

Didn't go to school today.

Day 119

As it is Wednesday, I only have ONE class to go to and that happens to be a pretty good class. Today we've spent doing our critiques on each other's works and it turned out pretty good. Actually most of the class was finished so that was REALLY good. And then we got started on figure drawing. So far, I suck.

Afterwards, I had to stay in the library as AP Lang and AP Lit students did their MOCK exams and boy did that suck. All that necessary silence and boredom. Nope, no me gusta!
