first day, and some venting

first day of school seemed so ridiculously slow. i have;

World History
English
PE
Chem A
Geometry A
Spanish 3

Mr. Baratti for World History was pretty friendly. he looks like the type that would tell corny lame jokes that people secretly think are hilarious, so that's good. it's a tad bit awkward in that class though.

English was okay. Mrs. Z seemed outgoing and friendly enough, although i heard she was like mean or something. we all had to say something we were obsessed with and i said that i was obsessed with hating the sound of cracking necks, fingers, and necks.

P.e. was fun, i have Deena and Monica in my class, whoooo. Mr. Woodbury's my teacher again, so i was happy.

Chem was kind of boring, maybe because i didn't know anyone. Mr. Olsberg seems very quirky and candid.

lunch.

took a test in Geometry. Mr. Cochrane was nice, sort of. i have Andy and Don in my class so it'll be a tad bit more interesting than chem, i guess.

Spanish 3 was hilarious. i didn't know why but i couldn't stop laughing. Mr. Yarnton was really funny and i actually understood most of what he said. i have a feeling we're going to have to participate a lot and do oral presentations like last year so that's something i won't like about that class. he said my writing was nice, though.

it was an alright day, not too shabby. definitely much better than last year's first day.

venting;

okay so last night my mother and i got into this fight about me wearing nail polish. she saw that i was wearing nail polish on my fingers and toes and ordered that i take it off before i go to sleep or else she won't leave the room. she even took away my ipod for dramatic effect.

i tried as best as i could to calmly negotiate with her. i told her that i'd do it tomorrow and that i wanted to go to sleep. she of course wouldn't even listen to me and said no. so i asked her what was so wrong with nail polish, and she said that it's un-natural and not necessary for someone like me, because i'm such a little child.

i got angry and after 15 minutes of multiple "I'LL DO IT TOMORROW MOM" and "NO, JOANNA DO IT NOW" i finally gave in to her and she left the room temporarily. i was pissed off so i finished taking the remaining nail polish out and closed the door and locked it.

after a few minutes she came back and realized that i had locked the door. she spent 10 minutes outside my door picking at it, and she freaking succeeded in OPENING it.

she came in and was all, "Thank you Joanna for listening to me, i love you" and she tried to kiss me. i flinched away because i was so incredibly mad at her.

it's not just because of the whole nail polish thing. it's just that she always always gets her way, she never negotiates. My mom always thinks she's right and never ever ever says sorry. she doesn't really stop to listen to what people are saying because she knows she's going to win anyway; she always has to have the last word.

like last night, she didn't leave the door locked and just leave me alone, no, she had to freaking PICK at the lock, and succeed in unlocking my fucking door just to show me how she's always the right one and she always wins.

i know you're supposed to listen and obey your parents and shit, but they're supposed to listen to their kids too. she rarely ever does that.

i'm not saying that the rest of the family is fucking perfect and is completely flawless, i'm just saying that she isn't.

call me stupid, naive, ignorant, immature, wrong, overdramatic blah blah. it's just my thoughts on the matter.

sorry, that was really really long.
