Slough Creek Members,
I would like to apologize for my inactivity. I would love to be online more then I currently am, as well to help keep this website active. Unfortunately, I have had a lot of things going on in my life right now.
I have made a competition with Avikii that I'm determined to win [whether it ends this Monday or in the Summer, I'm still going to beat you]. I have a document that I can not explain in detail, but it requires a lot of work and I am trying to finish it by April. I can not even say that I am halfway done with that document.
I have started running a club at my school. It is called the FIDM Fashion Club. Its sponsored by the FIDM college. It is quite similar to a trade school [and just as expensive]. FIDM stands for Fashion, Industry, Design and Merchandising. I helped to start the club because it offers a 6,000$ scholarship to its president(s) if they go there. I am on the fence on going there, Cal Arts or a community college, but its definitely a big help if I do decide to go there [especially since the tuition is roughly 40K a year]. I am going to be studying to become a film major/ set design major. In the mean time that means I will have to get a job and take the SATs and ACTs. So I will be taking time off not only to study now, but to earn some money. I plan to get a job in May, even though I do not want to, my family is really tight on money now more then ever so I need to especially if I go to FIDM or Cal Arts.
In addition to all of this, I have been acting as Manager for the boy's Volleyball Varsity team. I help with JV sometimes as well, but it is mostly Varsity. Managers come to all of the games, they take statistics. Its a really simple task, but very important because it helps so that the coach does not have to take them and can focus on the game. It also helps them figure out how to fine tune the team during the game and how they will run the next practice. Statistics that a manager takes includes: Passing stats [3,2,1,or 0 pass], hitting stats [in play, kill, hitting error], blocking stats [block or error], digs [1, or 0], serves [in play, ace, or serving error]. So yeah.
Finally there is this one last thing. I do not mean or intend to bore you all with the drama and such of my life. However, I feel it necessary I at least offer the information if you care in the least, in all fairness. I have just fallen into a rather large rut in my life. I feel like some particular people have been criticizing me to the deepest and farthest lengths they possibly can. They perhaps hope that it will help me or are simply just stating the truth, however it just feels like another arrow. I do not know what it is that has set me into this bad mood, but its stomach turning and exhausting me to the furthest ends of my body. Everything that helped push this mood away is simply acting against me. Ive lost four things that make me happy. Two of which are people. I am slowly loosing every willingness to draw let alone write here. At volleyball practice everyone is giving half their effort, and so I can not de-stress myself per say. And the last two things are just two different ways I'm loosing/ not getting to see or the comfort of my best friends. I was supposed to see Avi this week but I might not even get to now. I also really want to talk to another friend, and there is a ton of drama between us lately. Its not their fault, more their parents, but I have not had the chance to talk to them. I do not know if maybe they are avoiding me ontop of it all or what, but yeah..
So sorry for that sob story but yeah. :') I hope you all have a good day...
