Daily Happenings & Ama.

Thursday, October 3rd.
8:00 I went to school. I worked on my inktober prompt while waiting for the bell to ring.
9:00 I went to art. There had been a substitute teacher the past couple of days, so I hadn’t had to do any catching up. We watched a demo for acrylic, then I did another graphite transfer followed by the painting itself.
11:50 My friend helped me catch up in math.
12:30 Math ended up being easy.
3:30 I went to jazz. I had a good time.
4:40 I spoke to the careers teacher, and she let me go for the first half of class on Friday. My friend’s mother had come to pick her up, and brought their shih tzu. I pet him then walked home.
5:00 The cat down the street was there again, so I rushed home to bring her treats. When I got back she was hiding.
8:15 I finished my drawing.

8:25 I got to school and waited for my friends to arrive. I checked in with the careers teacher.

12:30 I went to social studies. We started a final project for the unit.
2:00 Band was easy. My friend wasn’t there, but I was fine.

Tuesday, October 8th.
7:50 My granddad stopped while I was walking to school and gave me two lemon tarts. I waited upstairs for the socials room to open.
9:00 I gave the lemon tarts to two of my friends. We did attendance then went to an assembly about being safe and knowing our rights in the workplace. We played the scribble game while waiting for break.
10:30 Only a third of the band was there, so we sat in a circle and worked on two of our concert band songs as well as a jazz song.
12:30 My friends and I skipped class to help the band teacher with the youngsters. My friend and I taught the trumpets how to count and note values. We didn’t notice a kid chewing gum. After sectionals we practiced the C scale, then played some of their beginner songs. The teacher yelled at my friend and I for not noticing the the kids gum, then yelled at him for it. The teacher seemed more relaxed in senior band.
2:00 Careers was boring, we watched a movie and started a worksheet on it.
3:20 I walked home. It was significantly colder than the days previous. As I crossed the bridge I noticed the fish had started spawning.
4:00 I watched my true crime show and completed my math assignment.

 

Wednesday, October 9th.
9:00 I went to math and did extra practice.
10:10 We had a fire drill. It was two degrees outside and we were in our t-shirts.
10:30 I took the math unit test.
11:50 Only one of my friends was around, so we went up in the band room as usual. Some of the second year players were playing songs we knew, so I went down and played with them. The band teacher complimented them, then noticed I and another person were there and took it back.
12:30 I went to art. We got a new project and I did my brainstorming. The cute girl left for Timmies at break and was late coming back. Her friend left at break as well. He didn’t come back.

4:30 I walked home and watched my true crime show.

 

Friday, October 11th.
10:40 I brought the target up from the basement and did some shooting.
11:30 My friends came to pick me up to go to the orchard. We stopped at Timmies and the grocery store. We went and played with some little kids before feeding the farm animals. We raced rubber ducks, and the overspill from the water pumps made a bird bath for sparrows. After that, we went shopping and bought some apple themed gifts for thanksgiving. We ended off with lunch. We all got little apple juices and I had a cinnamon bun. I fed the sparrows a couple pieces of my apple.
1:30 We left and took the scenic route to drop off one of my friends. I felt extremely nauseous from the winding road. I got out when we dropped her off and almost fell over. I recovered to see the progress she had made training her puppy.
2:20 We dropped off souvenirs for my friend who was down with the flu. Her dog was wearing a cute sweater. I went home afterwards and tried to recover from my motion sickness.

 

Saturday, October 12th.
9:10 I did some reading while eating cottage cheese and pineapple for breakfast.
10:10 I did a few drawings in my sketchbook.

 

Sunday, October 13th.
9:10 I did some reading, then wrapped the apple juice for my dad.
3:40 I went to the mall to get my ears pierced again. I got small black studs. After, I went and bought some popcorn.
4:50 I went to my Nana’s to wait for thanksgiving dinner. We enjoyed each other’s company and food.

Monday, October 14th.

Tuesday, October 15th.
9:00 I went to art and started my new project. The cute girl was away. I used some watercolours on my main sheet, then drew a lion on a second sheet.
10:10 I went to get pictures taken. I got stuck with the hockey jocks and they taunted me. I ignored them and waited in line for forty minutes because their friends would just go in front of me. It was finally my turn but I had an anxiety attack because the woman would want to make me pose and would want to change my hair. I crumpled up my slip for photos and threw it in the trash in the foyer.
10:50 I finally made it back to art.
12:30 We started a new unit in precalc.
3:20 I walked home and saw the black and white cat. She let me pet her, and she seemed too skinny to me. I rushed home and brought her some cat food. She was delighted that I had brought her food. I named her Ellis.

 

Wednesday, October 16th.
9:00 I went to teach the youngsters again. I could tell right away who liked band and who didn’t. I let the ones who weren’t interested in what I had to teach do their own thing while I helped the ones who cared improve. They did a self assessment for parent teacher interviews and while they were doing that the conductor asked me if I wanted to be the person who calls the hotels and places for the band trip. I said no.
10:10 I went back to careers. I didn’t miss anything. The careers teacher told me she set me up to be the secretary. I also realized I should be using my teaching the youngsters as volunteer hours needed for graduation.
11:20 I went to socials. We worked on our project. I started a rough copy of the floor plan while the others worked on explaining why we did what we did.
12:30 I went to band. We warmed up on nutcracker and polar before performing them for the new principal who had never heard us play. A few minutes after, the youngsters arrived and sat among us. We played nutcracker and polar for them. The ones who I thought wanted to continue with band seemed inspired, while the ones who were off task seemed intimidated.
1:40 I rode the bus home with my friend. It was a forty minute drive, so we graded each house we passed on its beauty; either cute, ugly, or okay.
2:20 We walked for 10 minutes behind a girl who was oblivious to us behind her. She was singing and dancing around to her music. My friend told me it was a common thing. The girl ahead of us took the shortcut through someone’s yard that my friend usually takes, which was suspicious to her.
2:35 We arrived and her dog was wearing his sweater. We laid on the floor fling scrunchies at the ceiling while trying to catch them again. The game ended when our other friend called and didn’t know I was there. She told my friend she thought I was mad at her, which wasn’t true. I didn’t say anything while she was on the phone. After the phone call we picked some of her clothes out for my Halloween outfit. We picked a yellow shirt, a teal skirt, some flats, and a bunch of jewelry out. She ended up imitating her freckles on my face using some eyeliner.
4:00 My friend and I waited outside for her mom and my nana. She was already late, so she couldn’t drive me home. We spotted a cat who looked like Ellis, so we named it Elvis. My nana came and we drove to my little cousin’s daycare. My nana borrowed the car seat and I helped my little cousin balance on some of the landscaping bricks. We got in the car and I went home to watch my true crime show.
6:30 My brother came for dinner but I didn’t really visit due to feeling nauseous.

 

Thursday, October 17th.
6:00 I woke up and did some cleaning in my room.
8:00 My dad and I went to the bakery for some breakfast. I had a cinnamon knot and he had an apple fritter.
9:00 I made it to school and went to art. I drew an excavator and finished linework for the lion. I painted the lion’s mane in coffee and tea. At break my friends came clean about having lied to me. I used an exacto knife to cut my drawings out. It must have been dull because I had ripped the paper multiple times.
11:50 I went to sit in the courtyard to read my book. Some youngsters wouldn’t stop pounding on the window with the occasional shout at me so I left and went to the library. I printed out some music for band before sitting and staring at a wall.
12:30 I went to math.
1:25 We went and had a fake vote for the candidates in our local riding. I voted New Democratic Party. I asked the band teacher if he could sign for my hours with the kiddos to count as volunteer hours for graduation. He agreed. I walked back to class. Behind me, my precalc teacher and band teacher teased me about my “horrible” work ethic.
3:30 I went to jazz. I did pretty well, but I sucked on the last song because I was tired.
4:30 I went to my locker to collect my things. My friend tried to say bye but I shot her the bird before walking home.
7:55 Someone was playing with the birds and couldn’t get George back in his cage. I decided to let him make his way back in on his own.

 

Friday, October 18th.
12:30 I woke up to George flapping around in the dark. I turned the light on and tried to corral him into the cage. I went back to sleep when he was in.
6:00 I got ready for school.
8:35 I walked to school. I went to the band room and taught the youngsters again.
10:30 I went to careers. Band sucked the life out of me so I didn’t get much work done.
12:30 I went to socials. I worked on the project.
1:50 I went to band. We got a new piece of music.
3:15 I walked home and searched for the remote for 15 minutes.

 

Saturday, October 19th.
11:00 I went to spend time with my aunt. We went to her house, picked up my uncle, then went for lunch at a local farm-to-cafe. After, we had an unsuccessful trip to the supermarket because we couldn’t find a place to park. We went to the dollar store to buy a card for someone who’s family member had passed away. My uncle wouldn’t stop mocking me.
2:30 I went back to their house. I decided to go home because the persistent mockery had bothered me.
3:30 I went home.

 

Sunday, October 20th.
I didn’t do much due to the rain.
7:30 I did my inktober prompt then worked on careers homework. I forgot to practice my instrument.

 

Monday, October 21st.
7:40 I left early and went to my friend’s house via foot. I didn’t wear a coat. A man with a serial killer moustache tapped the side of his truck when I was trying to cross the street and gave me a disgusting look. I wanted to flip him the bird, but I didn’t. By the time I made it to my friend’s house my arms were numb because I was only wearing a short-sleeve button up. Her mom let me in and made us tea. I had lemon zinger, she had earl grey. My tea bag didn’t come with a string, but hers did. We watched a cat in the window of the house across the street. We named it Fat Cat Phillip.
8:30 We left for school. We brought our mugs of tea with us. I spilled my tea on both of my hands, but it was cold enough out that I didn’t burn. We arrived just as the busses were getting ready to leave. Before going inside we dumped our cold teas out in the grass. I gave the cup back and she gave me a girl guide cookie.
9:00 I went to math. It was average until the teacher asked a kid to punch a box he was holding up. He punched at it twice, didn’t break through.
12:30 I went to art. The cute girl turned out to be a transphobe so I decided she wasn’t worth my time. I added the receipts, pull tabs, bread bag tags, and Werther’s wrappers to my art project. I had to sit on the floor to use to glue gun, so when I got up I felt creaky like an old man.
3:20 I walked home in the rain.
5:25 I practiced my trumpet. I worked on two songs.
6:00 I cut my mom’s hair for her. It was a weird thing to do for the first time.
6:35 I practiced again. After, I played my Merlin M4. It was easy and I was daydreaming.

 

Tuesday, October 22nd.
8:00 I played the Merlin, then my granddad gave me a ride to school. I played for a friend when I got to school.
9:00 We touched on the election in social studies before working on the unit project. My friend and I played darts over text.
10:30 I went to band. We got another new song. My friend couldn’t play because she was so sick.
11:50 I brought the Merlin out for lunch and it was fun.
12:30 The youngsters had a song from the year above, and my favourite kid could get it, but everyone else couldn’t, so we didn’t play it much. We worked on Mary Had a Little Lamb and Jingle Bells. One kid forgot his trumpet and two others would constantly be off task. I didn’t kick them out, but I should have.
1:50 I went to careers. I was thankful I didn’t have to present.
4:00 I watched my true crime show, but ended up falling asleep.
