| Actual, Funny Answers from first grade school children about proverbs during a pop quiz test on proverbs.
A
first grade teacher collected well known proverbs. She gave each child
in her class the first half of a proverb and asked them to come up with
the remainder of the proverb.
It's hard to believe these were actually done by grade one kids (6 year-olds), because the last one is classic!

Hey!! It's SNOWING!!! It's raining and then snowing - a good sign, when it comes to school being cancelled. I've actually really missed snow, this season. It's not just because I like getting out of school; that's just partially it. What I like best about it is how pretty it looks. How it glistens and glitters and makes everything look palm and peaceful. I swear, if there was always fresh snow on the ground, there would totally be world peace. <BR>
Uh. I was going to say something, but I forgot. Let me think here for a second....Still thinking...<BR>
OH!!! I'm going to make a new LJ for my writing. I need to submit something to the Iguana Crossing for Creative Writing, so once all of the stories are up could you please comment here or there and tell me which you like the best? Hopefully, I'll be updating somewhat regularly - not daily, maybe not even weekly, after Creative Writing is over, but I'm hoping to make it habitual. I'll post a link here after the livejournal is all done!<BR>

| Gahhh. I love Billy Joel. :) He makes me happy. I'm about a thousand times better than I was over the weekend. I just needed to vent. Thank you, Kate, Katy, and Kady (...ahhahahah) for your comments. They made me happy. :]
Drama started today! We didn't do much, seeing as there really wasn't
much to do. Christine and I fixed up the props closet, though, and now
it's all organized-looking. :] But I've decided that I'm just going to
introduce myself as Bri from now on. Really, nobody except for my
parents and some of my teachers call me Brianna. It's either Bri or Bee
with EVERYBODY else. Today, though, this Freshman asked me if I needed
help. She said something like, "Brianna, do you need help cleaning out
the closet?" I got *so* confused. I thought my mom or one of my
teachers was there, lol. I turned around and it was this girl. So - I'm
just going to be like "Hi, I'm Bri" from now on to avoid that kinda
confusion hahahaha.
Ummmmmm. I put a ton and a half of new music
on my iPod and the speakers that I got for Christmas work! I figured
out how, I'm so techno-smart. (Which Explains why every technological
device I touch breaks. Er.)

| Okay, so this new year - not so good. Let's summarize.
My
grandmother, the woman who has practically raised me and loves to be
like a grandmother to all of my friends and has been living with me
since I was about 6 months old - is in the hospital, dying. According
to my mother, she's doing much better. She had congestive heart
failure, and she had bypass surgery on ...Tuesday, I believe. There
were complications in the surgery however, so they didn't wake her up
until HOURS after the surgery. Her kidneys aren't doing well either,
and she's going to be in a lot of pain.
Today, I was woken up by
Christine's sister, Dani, at 10:15 in the morning and she started
screaming at me to get up because my mom had called and I needed to be
at home to baby-sit my sister, Richelle. Christine and I had stayed up
until about 5:30 in the morning, because Christine was hyper and
dancing on th ebed and such. Of course, I was groggy and royally pissed
off. I trugged on home (in my pajamas) and planned to go right back to
sleep. My mother was rushing around telling me that i needed to get
ready to go out, but ignored me when I asked where. In my cranky state,
I kept complaining and I was exhausted so I was lying down on my bed
and trying to wake up. This pissed my mother off, so she was ranting
about the house. I understand that she's going through a really hard
time ... but so am I. My dad went into her room and was being a
complete asshole. Like - I'm surprised at how much of a total jerkwad
he's been lately to my mom. I don't know what happened to them, but
they need to fucking get over it. They were screaming at each other and
my mom kept telling him to go away, but he was being persistant. Then,
they said something that I will never forget and that made me start to
cry hysterically.
My mom screamed "I hate you!" to my father and my father yelled it right back to her.
Every
time I think about the scenario, I get all worked up and I feel like
crying. My whole entire house is falling apart. Not only the people,
but the actual house - everything is breaking. The people and the home.
Anyway, I was extremely angry with my parents - my father in
particular - for acting like such morons in this really hard time. They
were all offended that I was pissed off at their behavior!
My
mom finally revealed where I was going - Lauren's. I didn't want to go
because I was tired, but whatever. On the ride there, my mom was
screaming at me and telling me how selfish I apparently was and how I
didn't care about my grandma at all. I couldn't stop crying because
I've been doing pretty much everything for other people ever since my
grandma has gotten into the hospital, and it's taken a real toll on me.
I've been listening to other people's problems and trying to help them,
meanwhile I'm dealing with all of this crap AND catching up in school.
Ugh.
Then, my mom proceeded to pull into this parking lot at
Michael J Tighe park and continued her rant about what a spoiled little
bitch I was (her words) and how I didn't care at all about anyon ebut
myself. I couldn't even speak without sobbing so I just sat there and
listened to her call me a complete brat. I act like such a doormat
sometimes.
We got to Lauren's and I was trying to stay calm,
even though I had clearly been crying. My mom was standing there
talking and then suddenly I started crying and she gave me a hug and I
was hysterical for about five minutes. I"m not an emotional person,
usually; I rarely cry, ever. It's not that I try to avoid it, it's just
that I'm not an emotional person. This was a huge thing and I was just
really, genuinely upset.
On top of all of the crap that
happened today, one of my best friends, Lauren, had another seizure on
Thursday. She had a grand mal seizure on the first day of 8th grade;
this one wasn't as big, but it's still scary and it's just something
hard. She seems okay about it, but of course, I'm worried about her and
so that just adds to my stress.
Plus, I'm really far behind in
school and I'm having a hard time catching up with everything going on
here. I wasn't recommended for a Spanish class because a) Ricci is an
idiot and b) I'm probably failing. I have no idea what's going on in
Geometry. Everything else is pretty much okay, but nevertheless I'm
freaking out because there's midterms at the end of the month.
Not
only all of this, but my throat is really starting to hurt again. I
don't know WHAT THE STUPID PROBLEM IS, because I had my tonsils taken
out three and a half fucking weeks ago, but apparently it's not enough
that I have all of this crap going on. No, I have to be in physical
pain as well. And. My computer broke again, so I have to use the office
computer again. And, my room is a complete mess and I really hate it
when it gets like that - especially when I'm as worn out as I am right
now. UGHHH.
What a way to ring in the new year.
