Hey Kristi,
How are you? That’s good. Me? I’m kind of stressed out. 9th grade isn’t too hot. All of my teachers (each assuming that they are the exception rather than the rule) say something like this to us, “Now you are in high school and I’m going to show you how to work like you are!” and then they dump a load of homework on us. The problem is that they do it all at the same time! I’m not sure they’ve thought this through but there are not enough hours in a day for all of that! Anyway, it’s giving me a lot of stress because I’m trying to get a 4.0 GPA.
The boys are bothering me too. They are driving me crazy trying to impress me or something. They come up to me and say the stupidest things and embarrass us both half to death!
I have so much I want to accomplish and I feel I am not doing so well because of stress. I also, on top of all that, have a ton of chores to do at home. My mom isn’t too happy right now because I haven’t been able to finish them. I hope that sometime real soon I will be able to catch-up with myself.
We just went to the Vernal temple dedication last Monday. It was kind of interesting! We went out to eat too; that was great! …I have to write 1,000 words in my journal a week now, for school, so excuse me for babbling on… I need to start writing on a specific topic like we do in class. Oh help, how boring!
Love, Me
