Would you like a restraining order with that?

Today was interesting I suppose. Today and tomorrow are blocked days, so we only had 4 classes today, each an hour and 30 minutes long. It was a nice break from the normal schedule.  Having 7 classes a day each 45 minutes long is so….overwhelming. Its too much too fast. It’s crazy.

So, I will definetly cherish wednesdays and thursdays from now on. Thursdays we only have our remaining 3 classes, and school starts at 9:30. I will enjoy that.

I don’t know how I’m going to survive on regular days once we start using our books and doing actual work. Homework every night for 7 classes….is just….wow. And, the Red house is a quarter of a mile away from the Blue house (we did the math). That is bad, especially for me. Why? Because we were supposed to have the majority of our classes in our house. I’m in Red house, and I’ve only got 1 class there, and advisory. All my other classes are in blue house.  My red house classes are spread out throughout the day, so I am going from red house in the morning to blue house to red house to blue house to red house and back to blue house again, and then if I need to put up books or get homework, I have to go back to blue again. So, there is no time to go to my locker and switch out my books, because it takes an average of 4 1/2 minutes to get from red house to blue house, and we only get a 5 minute passing period. I’d have to carry around at least 5 or 6 books, each weighing about 10 + pounds, plus all my other stuff.
Even if I did go to my locker while I was at the red house, i’ve only got 30 seconds to run to the other side of red house to the locker, then ive got to hurry back to blue house. If I did that the most I’d have to carry at a time would be 4 books, an art portfolio and 5 binder/folder things. That is alot for a 100 pound wimp to be carrying up and down the stairs every 45 minutes.

That also doesnt even cover the bathroom situation. There is no time to go to the bathroom between classes, as I cannot stand in line and wait, and then do my business in 30 seconds. The only time I have is right before the last class of the day because its 2 doors down from 6th period, so I guess I better learn to hold it. I could go during lunch, but then I couldn’t eat because we only have 24 minutes for lunch, and it takes approximatly 15 minutes to get through the line (I timed kirsten today).
But see, I’m also a woman. I cant "hold it" until 7th period. Sometimes, when I’ve gotta go, I’ve gotta go. Once a month I can’t do anything about that. The women teachers will understand that, I’m sure. But its the men I’m worried about…

Anyway, with that said, I’ve also got other things bothering me, like Scott, for example.

He has been calling me every day at least twice a day since the beginning of summer.

Of course, I don’t answer most of the time. But still. Can’t he take a hint? I rejected him in May. I’ve rejected him at least 3 or 4 times during the summer. Today when he called he said "I’ve got some things to tell you." And then he explained that one of the things was something he had never told anybody except his parents before, and it was, "every girl I’ve liked or wanted to be with or whatever has moved away, literally. And I promised myself that this time I wasn’t going to let it stop me." He said that he can’t stop thinking about me, and that he misses me so much, and all he can think about is me. He told me, "I don’t want you to think I’m obssessed with you or that I’m stalking your or anything, because I know we never really did alot together anyway but….I really really want to be with you. I want to see you agian."

My god, when he said that, I thought "Sorry buddy, but you’ve already passed that stage."

But geez. This is definetly an unhealthy obsession. I mean….there is nothing spectacular about me. He even admitted it himself, we were never really that close. And I can’t possibly see what he sees in me. At first when he told me he liked me, I was flattered. Then when he wouldn’t take no for an answer, I became annoyed. And now, frankly, I’m getting a bit freaked out….

Everyone else has moved on. I’ve moved on. He needs to move on too. None of my other old friends constantly call me everyday and nearly beg to see me. And they I had been friends with for years, good friends who I did things with. Like Anna and Jesse for example. Scott was just the person I was on good terms with that I sat with on the bus everyday after school. And he is the one that can’t stand to lose me…

I mean…I just don’t get it. I’ve never really talked to him all that much. I’m not a super-model. I’m not increidbly funny or talented or anything. Why me? Of all the girls he knows, why me?

Maybe I’ve been too nice. I’ve been too lenient. Maybe next time I need to just suck it up, be rude for once in my life, and tell him once and for all to stop calling me and get on with his life.

I’ve tried ignoring him. I’ve told him no. Today I even told him that I might get back together with Pat (which….I actually might ) And even when I told him that and finally said bye, he called back 10 minutes later to tell me he actually might be moving to my neighborhood

But yea…….I’ve got to go convince my dad to let me go with pat and aaron to denny’s tomorrow morning for breakfast before school now.
