:'(

My baby T-Rex departed from this world in the morning today. :(

He's been my best friend since I was five years old and he died at eleven years of age. My whole family babies him and we adored him to pieces. I just hope he felt the enormous love we all felt for him.

Curiosity killed the cat

I'm having mixed emotions right now. I accidentally took my friend's notebook and I was flipping through the pages right now and came across some pages that used as her "diary". I know I shouldn't have read it and I should've just shut it closed but I couldn't help but read what she wrote.

She wrote about her boyfriend and how he's been pressuring her into having intercourse. My friend admits that she's interested in the action but understands that they're both too young to get involved in anything of that sort. Not to mention, she doesn't want to disappointment her parents or her boyfriend. It's a complex situation and she's torn inside.

She wrote about how she prays to God asking him for guidance and that she wishes she was closer to her faith. She seems confused and lost. In one of the pages she wrote that she wished she had someone to talk to get receive advice from.

After reading that I know I'm not a pro in that field or anything but I really wish she would open up to me about it. I don't why I have this sudden urge to talk to her about it. Reading it makes me want to open up to her about my past. I just wouldn't know how to bring it up considering that I don't think she even knows that I accidentally took her notebook!

And then I feel horrible because I know I should have respected her privacy and I know I would have been pissed to find out if someone read what I wrote.

After reading this I see her in a completely new light. Not in a negative way, but she honestly seemed like such a happy-go-lucky gal who was incredibly happy in her long-time relationship.

I don't know how I'd bring it up but if she asks me or seems scared if I read it, I will let her know that I did. I will own up to my actions and simply say that I wont repeat a word and I'd be open to take heed for her. She'll be in my prayers from then on, even though I do pray for my friend in general.

I just hope she follows her heart and takes her stand if anything drastic pursues.

This makes me so happy.

Sometimes I'd rather stay at school than come home to an angry mother.
It's frustrating and has such an major impact in my day. This being that if I was having a good day and I come home to an angry mother, no matter how great my day was it becomes horrible.

Ugh. Kill me now. -_-"

Stress, stress, stress... and some more stress.

I’m absolutely drained but I can’t sleep yet because I need to study for my AP US mock exam tomorrow morning. My friends just left a few moments ago and we still haven’t completed our AP Spanish project; thankfully the deadline date got pushed back an entire week. We were hoping we’d finish it today that way our friend could edit it over the weekend and turn it in for extra credit however that plan has definitely changed.

There’s about three more weeks for AP testing and I’m starting to panic. I have my practice books for English and History but I don’t necessarily believe I need one for my Spanish test. I feel confident that I’ll be able to pass with a three but I’m banking for a 5.

English worries me a bit as my vocabulary isn’t as diverse as I’d hope it would be this year but I have learned a plethora of new words already. I’m looking forward to writing my essay and I’m going to definitely try and use the best syntax and vocabulary. I must admit I’m excited for the English exam.

I’m more worried about U.S. history. I feel like there are more chances of me not passing but I suppose I need to stay positive and try my best. I know I have a higher chance in passing this test than AP Euro because I seriously did not dedicate myself to that course as I should have. This year, I took this class a lot more serious and I know what to expect so it wasn’t like a slap at the face. I’m thankful that I did gain experience from AP Euro in writing DBQs and pacing myself for the tedious homework assignments.

I suppose I should stop ranting now before I carried away. I’m going to enjoy some leisure time and reread one of my favorite fanfic chapters and log offline and get myself to review for tomorrow but majority for the actually exam.

P.S. Before I adjourn, today in AP US history we took some questions on the chapter we’ve been covering and I got more than half correct which gladdens me! It makes me feel like I actually do have high potential in passing this exam. Here’s to hoping!

Love and Light!

Breaking Barriers

Jorge Ramos and María Elena Salinas

Today after my Spanish class I spoke to my teacher about Jorge Ramos, one of the best journalists in Hispanic television. He's interviewed just about the highest ranked people in the world like the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro.

On television it showed a clip of Ramos interviewing Chávez and Ramos was asking blunt and difficult questions. The president replied with anger since he "felt" he was being attacked but Ramos was simply doing his job by asking bold questions to receive a primary response.

I can only imagine how much stress he has in his daily life with the thought of needing to deliver good inquires to his interviewees. I, myself, panicked when I had to interview other students and my school's principle! I can only imagine how life-changing that moment must have been for him.

Another characteristic that attracts me to Ramos is that each time something major occurs in the world, where ever it be-- the following day the public can count that Jorge Ramos is already headed to the destination. Absolutely dedicated and inspiring.

I just found out he has his own book so next time I'm headed to Borders I'm going to try and buy it. I can only imagine if I'll ever reach that point in my aspirations of becoming a top notch journalist!

Incubus spiritually fulfills me.

I feel like such a hippie when I listen to them and I absolutely love it!
