Once a Klutz, Always a Klutz

Hi people, 

Today I will be writing about a story from a field trip that I once went on. I originally didn't know what to write about in this post, but then it hit me...literally. I walked into a table before I sat down to write this and was reminded of another instance of clumsiness. 

We had gone to look at pond ecosystems for a day because we had learned about frogs in class recently. We were supposed to try to catch pond creatures in large white buckets so that we could identify them. After a while, all of my classmates had already caught tadpoles or minnows and I hadn't caught anything except mud. 

I was determined to catch something so I came up with a brilliant stupid idea. I thought that the creatures were hiding under the dock, so I put my bucket as far under the dock as I could. 

The problem was that I couldn't pull the bucket back out of the water because of my lack of arm strength. I tried to move to the side but that just made everything worse. 

The bucket was now pulling me closer and closer to the leech-infested pond. I flopped around, trying to pull myself up, but nothing seemed to work. 

Because I was completely stuck, my classmates actually had to pull me back onto the dock. That day will forever be the one time I almost fell into a pond... I hope.

I'm not terribly good at expressing gratitude. I'm not good with time. Most of the time, I need a reality check. I'm always too stuck in my thoughts to do or say anything important. When I eventually decide to do something, I just end up ruining it.  You two are the only reason that the first paragraph didn't keep going on into infinity. You said I should just get this over with, so I will.  You might not always tell me what I want to hear, but there is no doubt in my mind that you always tell me what I need  to hear. I'm just terrible at listening.  When I say certain things, people look at me like I have five heads, but you actually try to understand what I'm saying. I appreciate that so much because a lot of times I feel like the three of us are the only ones listening.  Unlike most people, you tend to understand me. Even when you don't, I still know that you're trying as hard as you can.  I have no more words because there ...

Hi people,  Though it might not look like it from the title, this is a post about music and what part it has in my life.  For the most part, music is a distraction. Many people might lose some of their focus around music. I lose all of my focus. There have been many occasions where I haven't done anything productive for days  because of a song that is stuck in my head. This is especially annoying when I don't even know the words to the song. Another problem I often come across is being in a very quiet place and feeling the need to start humming or tapping the beat of one of my favorite songs. Even with all its distractions, I still love music.  This is the main question in my life.  -Dianna

The Beginning and the End of the End

Hi people,  Today I am writing about the end of my years at my school. I really didn't want this post to be cliche, but the end of this school year is a massive, all eclipsing issue in my brain right now.  This is because I really don't like that this year is ending. I don't like the idea of being separated from my classmates. I don't like that I have to leave my teachers. I don't like the idea of leaving almost everyone I know for a building full of strangers. I don't like any of it. AT ALL.  Last year was very different. I spent the last day staring at the clock and when the time to leave came, I snatched my report card and ran out of the building. I was the first to leave. I didn't event bother to say goodbye to anyone.  That summer I spent a lot of time thinking, and I started to appreciate my school a lot more.  Now, I can't even go a week without school. Over spring break, I kept thinking about how my classmates would laugh ...
