Argh...

Ugh... Hate slow weeks.. It's cause we have a three day weekend this week isn't it?

Monday was the worse day of the week due to everyone remembering the shootings on Friday night (and still are). It was a Facebook event to wear black in memory of Tara Romero. It started off super terrible cause a fourth of my dance class had to sit outside because they wouldn't stop crying. I can't say I blame them cause I was close to tears too. These people knew her. Sweet, sweet Tara. Gone. But y'know you pick up the pieces and move on... some people more slower than others. That's what sucks about death is that it gets in the way with our daily lives. There's no time for emotion or it just ruins other plans. Stupid modern life... But whatever. Sometimes you just got to deal with it and live life how it's given to you. By the end of the day, most everyone's tears dried and we just went on with life.

Tuesday: Anime club day. We finally finished our game of Jeopardy and watched some anime clips online. Another stress filled day with school work and more school work.

Wednesday: Same but with GSA today. We made bracelets and T-shirts special for the club with fun paints and glitter. In Advisory we talked about whose responsibility it is to help students succeed and what not which I kinda found really stupid since I feel like we should have talked about how not to be affiliated with gang violence seeing as how one of the students was shot on Friday. But whatever... I think it should be common knowledge to never get involved in that stuff.

In fact, I'm watching the news right now and earlier they were talking about the shootings and raising awareness for gang violence. As it turns out, the suspected gang members were out looking for rival gang members and just opened fire on a bunch of teenagers. This just makes me more upset and angry at the people who took Tara's life and put two others in the hospital, fighting for their lives. I mean what gets people into that crap? What are they trying to fricking prove?! That the human race has no intelligence?! Well congratulations any and all gang members rotting in prison. Hope you are proud of yourself! All that getting involved in a gang gets a person in life is behind bars and hate. I don't care what stupid reason one has for joining a gang, it doesn't exactly end well for anyone. You wind up fighting other gangs over stupid differences and end up getting yourself killed or getting innocent people killed. Are you that stupid to not see that? Open your eyes before you hurt yourself. You're not cool or whatever for acting like a jerk and hurting innocent people, because it just makes you stupid. No one has a real reason for being a part of that crap, so just don't.

I just needed to get that little rant out of me.

Anyway...

Also drama's been doing a lot of set building and rehearsing and what not. We open up the play next Thursday which is pretty exciting. Been helping building the set and it just looks awesome. So anxious for opening night. And tomorrow we have a Chile's fundraiser night to help get the club some more money.

And this Friday is no school for Veteran's Day.

XOXO,
Liz

  1. I'm sorry to hear what happened to her, sometimes life just isn't fair and all we can do is try to move on... A girl at my school died in a car accident a couple of years ago and every single person was so upset as she was really lovely.

    On a happier note, your school has an anime club??? WHAT THE HECK?! All my school has is a hockey club, one reason why the UK sucks at times...
