Today was my best friends birthday so I made a cute sappy vid for her. I love her but our friendship isn’t the same. I know she’ll always be a part of my life but we feel more like distant relatives(hoping we can one day be close again).

I went to my first two classes and I can’t believe how much I missed, at times like this I just want to run away or curl into a ball. Yet again I’m set to have a math AND science test on the same day. I feel like I have one every week, which is becoming true. Didn’t realize how stressed I was until now. My grade drop in science(I have a low 90 instead of a high one), makes me unmotivated and sad. I’m pretty sure my science teacher doesn’t like me too much, which sucks. I always have problems with female teachers, it’s harder for me to bond with them, but give me the “meanest” male teacher and we’ll be best friends. I’m a puppy that makes best friends with cats, we just go together in the oddest way.

In math we had a mental health presentation and I realized that I might be slipping into a slight sad spell or depression. I’m just so tired and unmotivated lately. The only thing I want to do is stay home, that’s what got me in all these messes in the first place.

Went to dinner with this older couple my parents became friends with and our relationship is like in the movies. They’re sort of like grandparents to us now. I remember always admiring how the white people always had non family that they considered family, I always wanted that.

I want to read tonight but I’m half asleep as I even write… night.
