lizzieladieToday was stressful. However watching Mike and Denise fight and seeing Mr. B. get excited about the origin of the word hookers (thank you Mr. Casagrande) erased most of stress. You know, that and not taking the DBQ test and not having to hand in the review.
The new NHD rules suck. I was actually looking forward to my topic this year but Miss Shields is a little clueless. I'm this -- close to doing my own research on the side the way I was planning to before we went to the library.
For the first time in weeks I have to sit down breathe and update my journal. Last night I was frantically doing homework and being depressed because volleyball lost. (Although 11-1, in your face Mrs. Belles.) I got into the varsity game today, but it pisses me off when Mr. B. won't let the bench-warmers receive serves.
And that brings me to the Big Dilemma that I've been doing some thinking on lately. Kristen Delkavich(sp?) is hated by most of the team. I mean them openly making fun of her and trying to make her cry hated. I don't like her. I think she's an annoying, self-absorbed, socially clueless suck-up who really can't write and could play volleyball well if she was two feet taller (and she thinks that she is two feet taller). However, I don't think that the extent of the teasing that's going on is ok. It's downright vicious sometimes and the worst part is that Kari hates her too and lets Caroline try to serve and spike balls at her head and looks the other way when Vicky and Becca (and everyone else) pick on her. And there in lies my dialema, she's not someone that I want to help or be nice to but she definitely doesn't deserve the level of teasing and bullying that she's getting now. If I do something like not tell her to go to hell when she asks to bump with me and Stephanie because no one else on the team will do anything with her then she thinks that I'm her best friend (and this is taking into account that she once told that "It's not my fault you can't pass.") I'm frustrated and I don't know what direction to go in. I tried to explain this to Alacia and I don't think she understood. Early on in the season my idea was that she wasn't digging her own grave, but that she was jumping in without a fight. I don't think that applies at this points. Thoughts anyone?
(God that was long....I apologize for spamming f-lists but I don't know how to do cuts yet...)
