What a Sunday

Today, I gleaned the gutters on the roof. That wasn't too bad. The only part I really hate is getting on and off the roof using the ladder. I also mowed a yard across the street. It took forever since the grass was tall and thick. The lawn mower kept getting stopped up. Still, I finished and got $35, which completely makes up for the money I spent yesterday on manga and then some.

When my dad and I were trying to start the weed eater to finish the yard, I looked at my watch. I had to go to the library because I had to get something signed for the National Honor Society for the volunteer work I did there. I had 15 minuted before it closed, and I got my bike there in 5. Pretty good considering my bike chain fell off. I got the thing signed, finished the weed eating, and now am typing to all of you.

I still haven't written my valedictorian speech for graduation, which is in two weeks from tomorrow. This becomes painfully obvious when people keep asking me about it. Honestly, I don't think I can do it. People tell me that it doesn't have to be big and important and that hardly anyone will pay attention. I don't care. I don't care if no one expects it to be importand and encouraging and all that. I, however, do expect pretty much sll that.The problem? Every time I try to think of a direction to go in for the speech, it gets depressing. I can't give a depressing speech. That wouldn't do at all. I want to encourage people, but I think I must be encouraged myself. Honestly, I'm not. This is why I can't write it. It'll be depressing. Maybe I should get a team of writers and put all of their work together.

Another thing I hate is that people say I'm super smart or at least just smart. I hate people calling me the best of the best. I'm not that smart. I know other seniors that know more than I do. All I do, all I've done since 4th grade, is do the work and remember enough to take the tests. None of the awards I've gotten at school have made me really proud. I have some pride in them, but nothing compared to my favorite. The award I'm most proud of is the one I didn't get in school and the one I feel like I've shamed the most. It's my black belt. I used to just look at the degree on my wall and smile. I love that. Now, I feel like I've shamed it. My dad took be out of Tae Kwan Do a year and a half ago. I let him do it. He knew I didn't like it, but I still let him. I should have fought him tooth and nail. I could probably get back it, if I get the money (which I probably do now if you read my previous post) and a license, but I hate driving. My mom offered to put me in it, but she needs all the money she has. Since then, I hardly work out. I've just lost the motivation. Sure, I may play around every now and then, but everytime I try to set up a work out schedule, it falls through. Maybe I can make a good one this summer. I'd probably work out more if there was someone to work out with. My favorite part of Tae Kwan Do was the sparring. That was the main reason I loved it. I wish there was still someone to spar with. I tried to do it with my friend, but he didn't like it, or mainly just the part about me hitting him. I was lucky though. Right before my dad took me out of Tae Kwan Do, I bought my bokken there. I still have it.

That's enough now. That was a lot of typing. Congrats if you read it all. Good job. Later.
