The Fourth Week

Day 16 of the rest of the year.

Making PowerPoint Presentations for our class inspections next week. It's hectic. ACTUALLY, it's not hectic at all. It's the people you work with that make it hectic. 

We had to make PPTs for our Political Science class, and in my group, I had to combine the presentations. When my group sent me their parts, I combined them, but I changed the background and made it much simpler, compared to their glamorous ones. Then, two of students in my group ganged up on me (NOT LITERALLY, IT'S JUST A PHRASE.) and were yelling, "WHY did you change the theme? Are YOU the leader of this group?" And let me remind you, I did NOT change the info, just the background and those two were making it such a BIG deal. Paranoid much?

Well, I did NOT ace my Maths mock test I had at tutoring last Wednesday. I actually failed. A 7.5 out of 20. I'm ACTUALLY disappointed. Though they were careless mistakes. Typical me. 

Though, I improved. So, THAT's a plus.

I remember all my tutoring experiences from the past few years. But, I wasn't going to tutoring at that time because I sucked at Math. Enough about that. I'll talk about it tomorrow.

I feel like watching Whip It now. Is it a good movie?

UGHH. October. Exams. Study. BLEEEURGGHH. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Weekend

Day 6 of the weekend.

Average day. I was at my aunt's house, and the internet was out, AND I didn't have my iPad, so, I was bored. The only form of entertainment was reading a book or watching a little TV. 

I DID discover some new fun for me though. 'Bad Lip Reading'. They are BLEEPING amazing. AND funny. They lip read some song, or movie and broadcast it on YouTube. The Hunger Games lip reading was hilarious. That really put me in a good mood after I got relapses of my anger when I was reminded that I didn't have my iPad with me.

Speaking of that, I KINDA realize WHY my mom did this. I misbehaved. A LOT. I'm not really a calm person, and the slightest problem can enrage me. I should go to some counselor. Though I'd be extremely uncomfortable talking to a stranger about my feelings. [It seems really ironic, since that's exactly what I'm doing at the moment.]

UGHH. Now I'm totally puzzled on doing my work. Saturday nights are the only days I get to myself. And by 'myself', I OBVIOUSLY mean my schoolwork. Everyday is kinda like a routine to me, Sunday to Thursday - SCHOOL. Friday - Make parents angry. Saturday - WORK. 

Only vacations can pull me out of this pain. SO, I'd have to wait till the last week of October to pull myself together. (Since this is a muslim country, ALL SCHOOLS get a mini-vacation for the muslims to celebrate Eid, and the non-muslims to do whatever they want.)

I don't feel like talking about topics right now, SO......

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Weekend

Day 5 of the weekend.

Today, really wasn't a good day. It was one of the worse days of the month. Probably the worst.

But more about that later.

First, I want to talk some more about my trip to Borders yesterday.

As the avid reader that I am, I was overjoyed looking at books in Borders. I was at the fiction section, and there was a part of that section, containing only Nicholas Sparks' books. BUT I couldn't help but make a LITTLE observation.

Observe: 

  

You see ANY similarity? AT ALL. 'Cuz I do. And it's weird. And TOO repetitive. Couldn't the poster-makers be A LITTLE more imaginative and creative?

Now I'll talk about what happened TODAY. 

The reason I'm posting late today was because I didn't have my iPad with me.

WHY didn't I have my iPad with me? Let's find out:

I misbehaved, and my mom took away my iPod and iPad. 

She can't give me a lecture, she will NEVER give me a mobile. (I've stopped bothering to even ask her.)

But she'll always deprive me of something which isn't her business.

She wasn't even the one who got me and iPad, or the iPod anyway. It was her beloved brother. (Thank you SO MUCH, Uncle.)

My parents haven't even bought me any electronic device other than my computer. (Thanks for that.)

They didn't even buy us the amazing, time-consuming Wii or Xbox we have. It was gifted to us by our beloved uncle. (THANK YOU SO MUCH.)

My parents have ALWAYS been the kind of parents who haven't cared a lot about studies, but when it comes to etiquette & behavior, they're pretty much dictators. My parents have NEVER interfered in my schoolwork. (They hadn't even bothered to put me into tutoring until last June.) But if I misbehave or something like that, then I have HAD 'IT'. ('IT' includes various types of punishment.)

But let's shut this and lets go back a little.

14-15 year olds USUALLY have mobiles, why don't you?

Well, my mom told me, I was too young for a mobile phone, and she got her first phone after her marriage when she was almost 22. 

Ahem, EXCUSE ME? She got married in '96. Cell phones weren't really a frequent thing at the time. I would like an iPhone, but I wouldn't mind getting an old, pixel screened, brand-less cell phones we get for 95 Dirhams in Carrefour, AS LONG AS IT CAN MAKE CALLS. 

Though, I do respect her decision of not giving me a phone, until I'm 18 or something, (According to our deal.) as she thinks I'll probably misuse it. I don't blame her. I HAVE done a lot of horrible things in my life. Which I DO regret, but she doesn't think so. 

I stayed up to write this, and I'm feeling a LOT better now. I have always used this as an alternative to get through the day and get control of my temper so I don't do anything rash when I'm angry. And I had to say, IT IS working. *YAY!*

Btw, if you remember, yesterday, I said that I had gotten the 1st Percy Jackson book, and I am expecting a craze to be coming on.

And I CAN say, that the craze IS coming on. Percy Jackson IS AMAZING. I admire the language used here. Rick is a REALLY good writer.

Well, Now I got to get back to sleep. It's almost 12:00 AM now. And I'm an early sleeper.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Third Week

Day 15 of the rest of the year.

It's been 3 weeks since the start of school. Doesn't feel like it. Seems like I've been in school my whole life.

Anyway, I had a really good time today. My mom had to go to my aunt's house to discuss details of some community cooking competition, so, my sister, brother and my dad and I went to a mall. And I, being as cunning as ever, took advantage of this situation (of my mom not being with us.) and got myself a book. The 1st of the Percy Jackson book to be exact.

I expect a craze to be coming on.

The moment I entered borders today, I was so happy. I LOVE bookstores. 

BUT, everything is just too expensive. Even the stupid things.

And there was one thing which caught my eye at the store. I was searching for a Rick Riordan book, when I came across a few of Percy Jackson books, and I saw 2 Books of Percy  Jackson and the lightning thief. One had the standard cover, while the other had the cover of Logan Lerman's back. I checked the price, and the standard cover book was 30 dirhams, while the other one was 50 dirhams. As if anyone is gonna buy the 50 buck book.

Talk about stupidity.

I'm not gonna do topic time today, as I'm sleepy and tired, since I spent 3 hours at the mall. WALKING.

*Yawn* 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Third Week

Day 14 of the rest of the year.

My nose was BLOCKED last night. I was crying because I'm such a horrible person.

Typical me.

And I FINALLY got my Biology work done today. AT LAST. Mission Accomplished.

Though I still got other work to do.

Tough Luck.

I wish my school had a newspaper club. I would totally join.

OMG. Begin Again by Taylor Swift is THE BEST. I LOVE Taylor Swift and ALL her songs. Though I'm not really obsessed or dedicated or whatever. 

And oh yeah, has anyone read Rick Riordan yet? Amazing author. I'm totally obsessed with the 39 clues. (Though he is only a part of it.) AND it's website.

DEDICATED FAN.

TOPIC TIME!

Alcohol addiction:

Don't get into it. It's horrid. Thousands of people die because of this. It's better to stay away from this.

Using public restrooms:

Is fine in Dubai. There are amazing restrooms in most of the malls here. The only bad public restrooms in Dubai are usually in schools and old buildings or undeveloped areas. BUT, in India, the place where I live, it's TERRIBLE. I can't stand it. It's just gross.

Getting up in the morning: 

Is hard. But I get up at 5:30 AM anyway. I think the earliest I've gotten up for school is probably at 4:00 AM to complete a  lotta work.

But I've gotten up 3:30 AM too during Ramadan for eating some food before starting the fast. Though I go back to sleep later.

That's it.

Now to do some MORE work. No puzzle there.

I should probably multi-task while completing work. Otherwise I wont be done with anything by the time I go to sleep.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Third Week

Day 13 of the rest of the year.

I guess I had fun today. ACTUALLY, not really. The only time I had fun was during recess, and at dispersal time. When I was NOT the fifth wheel. Yep, no third wheel here. Only the fifth wheel. 'Cuz I'm the one with no best friend counterpart. The grouping of our friends usually goes like this:

• Sam (Me) & Poornima
• Shwetha & Irene
• Anncy & Lisha (Well, their not really best friends, I guess. But something like that.)

(I'm such a horrid friend. I'm surprised that I ACTUALLY have friends. I should probably just leave school or something.)

And since Poornima is in another class now, I feel left out *Aww*. So, THAT'S FUN.

Anyway, I was VERY sleepy in class, so, while I was in the washroom, I made up a song. Well only the first part.

Sleepy (Sung in tune of 'Sorry' by the Jonas Brothers) (You should probably listen to that first, and then to this.)

(After I reread this, it KINDA sounded like an Ode to insomnia.)

Droopy eyes and restless mind,

Sleepless nights with no lullabies,

Never helps and keeps me awake.

I realize I need some sleep,

Otherwise, I'll grow weak,

Building up the strength to stay awake. (In the morning.)

And I'm sleepy,

For staying awake, up all night,

'Cuz that's what one direction told me.

And when it's morning,

This time is the only time,

When I can't stay awake,

So, I'm probably gonna sleep the whole day.

(I'm probably gonna sleep the whole day.)

Whee. How exciting.

TOPIC TIME!

How to properly stretch:

There's something called, "Properly stretching"? 

News to me.

Spending too much time getting ready in the morning:

Will make you miss the bus.

Believe me.

FINAL TOPIC!

Your attempt to write songs:

IS HORRID. And just sad.

You saw the evidence.

I have hung my head in utter shame. 

That concludes our topic time for the day.

UGHH. I loathe homework. Tomorrow's gonna be worse with TWO consecutive classes of physics. Continuing with Biology and Chemistry.

My hatred for science never stops growing. I'm taking humanities or commerce when I reach my junior year.

English is the best subject ever.

I'm hungry now. I'm gonna end this and search for a bite to eat while completing LONG DUE homework and watching SNL.

Btw, did anyone watch the season premiere of HIMYM? I'm just overjoyed that it has restarted again.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Third Week

Day 12 of the rest of the year.

I must have achieved yet another level of procrastination today. I was majorly procrastinating today. I'm typing this at 8:40 PM. It's seems kinda late to me, since I usually start at 7:00 PM.

 

I need to get a new, better picture of myself. In my most recent picture, I look like terrible shit with squinted eyes and a black, splotchy, discolored face being awkward. 

And my glasses looked horrible. *BLECH*

I SERIOUSLY have to do my biology homework. *WHY do I do this to myself?*

I wish someone (SHWETHA) called someone (ME) and encouraged them to complete their homework. 

(OR THAT SOMEONE IS GONNA BE IN THE MUD.)

TOPIC TIME!

Unsolved equations:

Who DAFUQ CARES? 

"Let thy unsolved equations BE unsolved" was how the saying went.

PISH.

Hiring someone to mow your lawn:

We don't have a lawn. As a matter of fact, we don't even have a backyard, or a frontyard, or  whatever you call it. I live in an apartment.

To me it just seems like a scene from Call Me Maybe.

Your favorite circle of friends:

MY CIRCLE OF FRIENDS!

Deleting spam mail from your email:

With one click of a button, it's gone. End of story.

FINAL TOPIC!

The worst way to die:

There is NO worst way. All ways are just the same, only the technique is different, and no matter how different it is, you're still gonna reach that ONE destination: Your Death.

LOL. (Nuh-uh. It was actually intense.)

Well, topic session OVER!

I should probably start completing some crap I'm forced to do.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Third Week

Day 11 of the rest of the year.

Today was just BAD. I don't even wanna talk about it. 

I KNEW that I should have just shut my big mouth up and NOT told Irene & Lisha. They wouldn't even care. I'm sure they wouldn't even read this. It's not the way the reacted or anything, it's like, they didn't give a shit of their friend writing something or whatever.

*UGHH. Too intense*

Anyway, I was SO SLEEPY at school today. Ditto for tutoring.

I HATE completing work.

Only English class (And the teacher) can pull me outta my misery.

SO BORED. 

WOO! I can watch SNL and X Factor today! SOMETHING to look forward to.

I'm just taking classes on writing now, because I would like to improve my writing skills. COMMITTED. 

Well, now I gotta complete my English work, AND my Hindi work, AND my Biology work, AND AND AND...the list goes on.

(And Shwetha, if you didn't know, when I went to sleep last night, I cried inside.)

Whatever.

-Sam Frank

The Weekend

Day 4 of The Weekend.

Well, today was kinda exhausting. 

And I can't hold it in anymore:

I'm planning to write a book. Not for commercial use or anything, but like an E-Book or something. OR on some story sharing site. Like Wattpad. Another one of my spontaneously "GENIUS" ideas. It'll probably be some clichéd book that I will have to edit a gazillion times. So, I'm just reading on some creative writing site, and I'm gonna write away. Because my stories are usually shit. 

And now I'm gonna write my biology homework. It used to be non-existent. I got 28 questions left.
Shout out to Shwetha: I know you MIGHT be reading this, but I'll be waiting for your call. I know you said:

 "No guarantees, No promises."

Well, I said it, and you said "same here". But when I go to sleep at 10:00 PM without having one more phone call with you. I'll be crying inside.

LOL. (Not really, it's actually intense and dramatic.)

I like the X factor USA . It's not that bad. 
UGHH. When is How I Met Your Mother gonna start. Can't wait for the 24th.

Today's topic:

Plato vs. Aristotle (DAFUQ?)

Cheating on tests:

It's not good. It's bad.

Well, I don't know what to say about this. If I say cheating is OKAY, It'd be stupid. If I said cheating is NOT OKAY, I'd be a hypocrite. 

I'm gonna say, Don't do it unless desperation arises and you trust yourself that you won't get  caught. If you don't get caught, a mark will be left on your heart, and guilt will haunt your heart till you die. (You won't notice it, but it's there.) If you get caught, TELL THE TRUTH. If you don't tell the truth, a mark will be left on your heart, and guilt will haunt your heart till you die. (You won't notice it, but it's there.)

Favorite quotes verses (WHATEVER.):

"Were I from Dunsinane away and clear,

Profit again should hardly draw me here."

 - A Doctor in Macbeth.

"I shall be telling this with a sigh, 
Somewhere ages and ages hence: 
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, 
I took the one less traveled by, 
and that has made all the difference."

- Robert Frost. (A road not taken.)

LOL. (Not really, it's actually intense and dramatic.)

Well I had fun typing this. Really, I did. 
I shall be waiting for the call, Shwetha. OR I'll go to sleep or something. Or write my book.
I should probably go complete my work now.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

(I promised myself I wouldn't do this, "Follow me @samfranktoyou on twitter OR just click the link: https://twitter.com/samfranktoyou")(For updates and crap like that.)(Ultimate shame level 9000: ACHIEVED)

The Weekend

Day 3 of The Weekend.

UGHH. I am tired. The lunch party started at 2:00 PM, and ended at 10:00 PM. People came, people went, and then other people came. I was also hungry. 

It's always like this. When people come to our house for dinner, my mom and dad buy amazing chicken lollipops from a restaurant. But when I go to someone else's home for dinner, it's just normal, average food. 

I couldn't get ANYTHING done today, so, I'll be completing A LOT of work tomorrow, if I can ever get my head outta my iPad. 

Oh God, Why am I 'The Only One' who procrastinates SO MUCH? I'm ashamed.

I got nothing to add about today, other than the fact that I was shit bored today.

I HAVE to sleep early so I can study or something. 

I was gonna talk about something, but I forgot what it was, so, I'll probably talk about it if I remember to on Sunday, as that's the day I can get privacy on my computer.

*I hate blogging on the iPad*

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Next Week

Day 10 of the rest of the year.

Today was a short day. School closed at 11:00 AM. It doesn't feel like I went to school today.

It wasn't that fun at all. Except for when I was in the bus, and I was reading a book called, 'Pulling Princes' by Tyne O'Connell, (I AM CRAZY ABOUT THIS BOOK. AND I WANT THE REST OF THE SERIES TOO) while listening to music on my iPod.

Then Shwetha, Anncy, Lisha, Irene and I, played a game of acting out lyrics of songs and guessing them.

And Oh, yes. My English teacher told me, that I have a loud and clear voice, and she also said that I like to be heard when I'm reading. I exploded. (mentally.) Since I was overjoyed with what she said. 

Oh God, I wish I lived in the United States, so I could get amazing books. Once I get hooked on a book, and there is a continuing book to it, I get CRAZY about it. 

Now, my book obsession(s) is/are:

Possessed, and it's sequel, Consumed - By Kate Cann

The Calypso Chronicles - Tyne O'Connell
The Harry Potter Series - J.K. Rowling

And...That's it!

I started writing this post at 4:00 PM, and now..

*13 hours later*

Yep. I'm writing this at 5:50 AM on FRIDAY.

I'll tell you what I did yesterday for this procrastination thingy to arise.

Well, at 6-something we went to the mall, ate supper, and shopped.

We came back at 9:00 PM. And since my parents were there at home, I couldn't write my blog. The ONLY people of my friends and family who know about this blog, are Hanan, Reem, Poornima and Shwetha. And the idea to continue writing my blog on the iPad didn't even hit me till 11:00 PM. And that's when my dad started screaming at me that I shouldn't play the iPad at night and a load of other crappiness.

I'm hopeless.

Which brings to another topic. (Well, it's a question.)

WHY do you (Sam) procrastinate so much?

I think it's because I'm TOO interested in doing other things rather than the things I should be doing. It's a thing of the brain. It's also a thing of your willpower and confidence.

A part of my brain, (The limbex system) reminds to do something else which will probably give me immediate satisfaction. For example, suppose I am completing my homework, something (I forgot what) causes the limbex system to send messages to my brain to do something else, like, completing the riddle school series over and over again. Now it's up to me, to choose. I can choose:

• Completing my homework. (Which will give me long-term benefits, when I go to school next day with a proud face, that I completed my work.)
• Playing riddle school. (Which would give me immediate happiness, since riddle school is fun to play.)

Though that was not what happened to me yesterday while writing the blog. It was pure laziness.

(And thank you to charlieissocoollike for teaching me, and many other uneducated youtubers about procrastination on your video.)

I'll keep you guys posted about today too. Kinda later in the evening, since we are having a huge lunch party in our house today.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Next Week

Day 9 of the rest of the year.

It was really AMAZING at school today. There were 12 girls who were absent, (INCLUDING, THE PESSIMISTIC & PARANOID SHWETHA.) who were taking the day off, for studying for our computer exam tomorrow. APPARENTLY. Well, joke's on them, since WE DON'T HAVE AN EXAM TOMORROW! That's right, our exams have been postponed to the 15th of October. (Which happens to be my sister's birthday.) I'm ACTUALLY relieved since I was a mess in studying. And I have FAITH in myself that I'll do great in my Maths exam. 

But, apart from that, I did have an amazing time today. Since a lot of students weren't present today, we all changed our seats. I really didn't want to sit with Irene and Lisha, so, I sat with some of my other good friends like, Saba, Madiha and Saima. I had a lot of fun laughing with them. And we talked about a lot of stuff today.

Anyway, just a tip for the future: Do NOT eat too many prunes. It gives you diarrhea at THE WORST TIMES. MY worst time: At Tutoring. TODAY. 

I am NOT going to continue this story. (Note: I was eating prunes while typing this. I'm a hypocrite.)

And I FINALLY got to watch the Hunger games. I always try to read the books first, then watch the movie. According to me, Books are ALWAYS better than the movies.

Atleast I can watch it without guilt now.

I swear so much in school, I look down upon myself. Shwetha told me to mention something else about myself, but, I forgot. 

I'll just talk about some random topics now:

Things to do with your dog:

I don't know, I don't really have a dog. I'm kinda scared of them. The only animals I've ever touched are: A cockatoo, (of Reem's, named Coco) and some cat.

If YOU want to do something with your dog, then:

• Play with it.
• Take care of it.
• Love it.

NEXT TOPIC!

Rings of Uranus:

It has many rings.

SEXY.

FINAL TOPIC!

How to do Origami:

Use an Origami book. DUHHH.

That's done.

I also just finished talking to Shwetha. She said she'll call me again. (Shwetha, you BETTER call me, if you don't, I can still meet you tomorrow and put you in THE MUD. Call me. You know them digits. And baby, PLEASE DON'T GAWWWWWWWW!)

I'm having better expectations for the year. At the moment. You never know what can turn your smile up-side down. (Corniest line EVER.) 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Next Week

Day 8 of the rest of the year.

I'm not tired today, since I didn't go to tutoring today, BUT I WAS LONELY. My best friend, Poornima, is in another class, since she chose another syllabus course for her freshman & sophomore year. So, the only other human person I can freely talk to is Shwetha. (WHO WAS ABSENT TODAY.) I think it's because, we have a lot in common, and we have a lot to talk about. Today, Shwetha happened to be absent, so, I didn't really have anyone to talk to. 

And I was KINDA upset with Irene today, since she said that, Me wearing the geeky glasses made me seem lame and like a wannabe. A WANNABE. EXCUSE ME, I am a person who doesn't give a SHIT (Sorry, but I think the swear was appropriate here.) about popularity, and she says that I am a wannabe. Does she know what a wannabe is? OF COURSE she doesn't she's IRENE. (I think only Shwetha and Poornima will get this joke. The thing is, Irene isn't so good with English. So, the rest of us make jokes about her lack in speaking English.)

But it really doesn't matter, since my English teacher made my day, YET AGAIN. She said I have a loud voice, and that I read nicely. And that made me confident. Since I'm usually the one who stutters, and doesn't believe in herself at ALL.

But putting school crap aside, I'm gonna talk about TV. 

I just finished watching the latest SNL episode, with Seth MacFarlane, and it was pretty good. I'm just a little sad that, Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Abby Elliott left. 

And I can't wait for the new episode of How I met your mother on the 24th. The only thing I like about September is, that, shows start their new seasons again. Yay!

Well, now I have to go study and write notes for my computer exam. (Yes, we have an exam for computer science.) Since, I found out that, if I write notes and learn, it happens to become much easier for me. 

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Next Week

Day 7 of the rest of the year.

Yum, Ice cream is very tasty. It's been an hour since I came back from tutoring, and I am AMAZINGLY not tired. It has been an off study day for me, since I wasn't my usual, 'perky' self in ENGLISH. AND I QUOTE, "ENGLISH." The other subjects can go to hell. Except for Islamic and Arabic, 'cuz I like that, and I'm learning about my religion and it's language. SO, it is good. 

Though, I was doing good in tutoring today. I just need to study A LOT today. 

Anyway, I was just going through my syllabus for math for my 1st semester exam, and I was just analyzing how good I am at it, and if it will EVER come to use in life. 

Maths list:

• Number system (25% understood) - Use: IN. MY. ASS. (OR maybe SOMETIMES in some complex job)
• Polynomials (69% understood) - Use: IN. MY. BLEEPING. ASS. (SERIOUSLY)
• Coordinate Geometry (100% understood) - Use: Probably in architecture or some seating arrangements.
• Introduction to Euclid's Geometry (89% understood) - Use: None. Because this was the thing that STARTED geometry. Almost centuries ago. I don't see any use of it in ANYONE'S life.
• Lines and Angles (97% understood) - Use: Architecture. Maybe. Who knows?
• Triangles (-1000000000000000% understood) - Use: I HAVE NO IDEA. It is just CRAP. It makes a simple, three-sided figure into a BIG DEAL. No, HUMONGOUS DEAL.
• Heron's formula (91% understood) - Use: I know there is a use, but I'm not sure WHAT. It's probably for people who measure things. Probably measurers?

Well, that's it. It actually made me feel better about myself.

Irene was absent today. Whenever Irene or Shwetha are absent, Usually something happens in our class. Today, it was my acting. In English class, we are learning an excerpt from Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam's (India's 11th President) autobiography, and he was talking about his friends, somewhere between the lines, I had to act like his friend's father, and APPARENTLY, I was acting like a too strict father, (Well, I had to, the friend's father was a Hindu Priest.) and WHENEVER, I do ALMOST ANYTHING, my class starts laughing. I should probably ask Shwetha, WHY they do that.

I should probably start doing some work. My first exam starts on the 20th. LUCKY ME.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Next Week

Day 6 of the rest of the year.

I'M GONNA GET THEM HIPSTER GLASSES!

Which is what Shwetha and I sang almost all day.

There was a Teachers' Day program today at school, so, I guess I had fun, 'cuz it wasn't really AMAZING. It was fine, really. Not too good, not too bad.

I had tutoring today, so, I am kinda fatigued. AND I gotta do 28 questions of Islamic Studies. (If you didn't know, and probably wouldn't, I am a Muslim.)

I want to post a drawing of myself, which I would do on paper, but, then I'd need a scanner to scan it.

Anyway, Note to Shwetha: I know you're reading this, so PLEASE complete my Chemistry paper thingy. 

I'm gonna do one of those topic things today.

Ways to spend a Sunday Afternoon:

Well, first, let's see, what I do on a Sunday Afternoon.

• 2:15 PM - Reach home from school.
• 2:25 PM - Go have a bath.
• 2:55 PM - Come out from bath, and have lunch.
• 3:15 PM - 3:45 PM - Do necessary things, like, Prayers, revising, etc.
• 4:00 PM - Go to tutoring.
• 6:00 PM - Come back from tutoring.

So, that's how my Sunday afternoon is spent. AND, I literally have NO OTHER CHOICE. IT IS A WEEKLY ROUTINE. 

Anyway,

If you live in one of the countries where Sunday falls in the category of a weekend, then, you can:

• Watch a movie.
• Do homework.
• Blah Blah with your friends.
• SLEEP.
• Listen to Gangnam Style.
• Eat.
• Study for some test.
• Experiment with makeup.

NEXT TOPIC!

Days you feel like crap: 

Mondays. Or maybe weekdays. 

FINAL TOPIC!

How to throw a proper high school party:

How the BLEEP would I know? I don't think high school parties EXIST in our school. Whatever. If you wanna throw a proper high school party, then:

• Get food and call people.
• Mingle with those people.
• And get good music. 
• IF you don't want music, then, you should probably be having better food.

PARTY DONE.

Topic session OVER. 

I just got them Hipster glasses. 

I look better.

UGGHH. SO tired.

Now I have to get back to work. Like I usually do. And then sleep. 

I don't even know HOW I'm gonna survive my freshman year.

Whatever.

The Weekend

Day 2 of the weekend.

I AM TITANIUM!

Today was a really good day. My dad finally ordered hipster glasses for me and my sister. My sister's came today, and I am obsessed with it. I was trying it on a gazillion times today. Mine comes on Monday. Can't really wait that long.

I was at my great-grandfather's house today, (Like I am on usually every Saturday) so, I planned to post when I reach home. THAT was a bad idea, 'cuz the wi-fi on the iPad was down. So, I had to wait till I could use the computer. 

I had a really good time today, since I was at my great-grandfather's house. My dad's uncle and aunt also live there, (Though, they are almost my dad and mom's age, so, they're like my own uncle and aunt.) and I'm really close to them, plus, they're a lot fun. Like really. 

I'm still obsessing over those glasses.

I don't want to crap about anything else right now, not even about MYSELF. Probably because I wanna sleep. 

Whatever.

The Weekend

Day 1 of The Weekend.

Well, it's FINALLY the weekend. Been waiting for the day. Instead of 5 Days, it seems like, it's been 5 WEEKS since school has started. And if you didn't know, weekends in Dubai exist on Friday and Saturday.

I've been really tired today, for who-knows-what reason. And I've been doing some stupid work too. Rather than studying. I've been:

1. Helping my sister create a doctor out of some hard, air-drying modelling clay.
2. Washing dried clay powder off my hands.
3. Washing excess black raspberry vanilla lotion off my hands.
4. NOT Studying.
5. Cleaning my own modelling clay mess.
6. WRITING A BLOG.

I just saw the new models of the iPod touch & the iPod Nano, and I'm literally day-dreaming about them. My almost 3 year-old iPod Nano looks like NOTHING against them.

I need one of those printer-scanner-fax thingy. Even though I know printers are sent from hell. 

I'm just gonna talk about me now.

I am a 5 feet 5 inches tall, 14 year-old girl. I have short, black hair, with little fringes and I wear metallic blue, rounded-rectangle glasses. I have anger management issues, I like writing and drawing, I ACTUALLY LIKE Shakespeare, 'cuz that's what our school taught us in the final two years of middle school, I'M CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS, and I'm KINDA creative. Which I think I got from my mom. I like to think, there is atleast SOME part of me which is like my mom's. 'Cuz I am a total opposite of my mom. 

So, I'm technically, actually a lot like my dad. Well...Not really. According to A LOT of people, (NOT exaggerating, A LOT OF PEOPLE) I'm like my dad's younger sister.

This is me.

This the best me I can draw.

Nothing eventful happened today though, It was just a normal Friday with our usual family get-together. *yawn* I hope we have a big luch party or something next Friday. I WANT something to scream about on the internet.

That's as much as I can talk about myself today, I'll probably continue tomorrow, If I don't have any other boring crap to crap about. I'M JUST SLEEPY NOW.

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Beginning

Day 5 of the rest of the year.

I slept at 11:00 PM last night, woke up at 5:00 the next morning, It's 10:30 PM now, and I'm still not tired. That cup of coffee did it's job today. I was really energetic today. 

(AND THANK YOU SHWETHA, FOR GETTING THE GALAXY BUBBLES, EVEN THOUGH I HAD EATEN, LIKE, A QUARTER PIECE OF IT.)

I had a really good day at school today, It wasn't AMAZING, but it was a great day. 

And my English teacher really made my day today. She said I was good at my English grammar and stuff, and I became really happy. Nothing really eventful happened though. We just had a video filming session today, for our Teachers' Day program. And, though the video was a 15-20 seconds video, It happened to be a 15-20 minutes filming session.

I was really planning to watch some SNL episodes today. But I couldn't, because my family and I had gone out visiting. Thursday & Friday evenings are the only time I get free for myself. Otherwise, I have to study, go for tutoring, do a lotta homework, etc.

Anyway, my friends and I were just planning to watch Breaking Dawn Part 2 when it releases. I feel like there is no one else for Rob and Kristen other than each other. They're MADE for each other. Like, Chris Brown and Rihanna. They can't keep their hands off each other.

Well, It's killing me that I can't play the Sims due to the exams, because I KNOW that I'll get addicted INSTANTLY, you get some, you lose some. I totally want the other expansions of The Sims 3, I only have Ambitions till now.

Oh great. NOW I'm sleepy. OBVIOUSLY because of the boring blog post I just finished writing in the time span of half an hour.

BETTER BLOG POST TOMORROW! (Possibly.)

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Beginning

Day 4 of the rest of the year.

WOAH! I am seriously NOT tired today. I was totally on ultimate turbo mode today. I had a good day, with some good fun, I rocked my maths tutoring where I finally understood Lines and Angles. And I studied enough today. Unlike Shwetha, who got SOOOO paranoid that she would fail, she took a day off from school JUST to study. I mean, we're talking about SHWETHA. She is literally AMAZING at Math, she is just as good as I am in English and she really good at Hindi, Arabic and other subjects too. I KNOW she's gonna ace the exams. I'M the one who should be paranoid. NOT her. (BTW, SHWETHA FOR THE LAST TIME, YOU BETTER GET MY GALAXY BUBBLES TOMORROW OR I AM GONNA PULL YOUR BRACES OFF YOUR DISFIGURED TEETH!)

I WANT those chocolates.

I wish the exams would get over fast, so we could have our annual picnic. I'm not really excited, as our trip is to the Grand Mosque. The Grand Mosque happens to be a really HUGE mosque in Abu Dhabi. (Which happens to be the capital of U.A.E.) It's really pretty, but I've been there before. My family and I were planning to pray there, but, it was filled with tourists. And the thing is, I don't know HOW I'm gonna have fun there, Abu Dhabi is, like, almost two hours drive away from Dubai, (including getting out from the school, and reaching the mosque.) so I don't know what's fun in sitting in the buses for most of the time. (Note: Cellphones and Mp3s/iPods NOT allowed) But I wouldn't mind going there as long as I have fun. RIGHT? 

Anyway, here's a picture of the mosque:

This was when it was almost completed.

 

This is the completed mosque.

It's kinda pretty. I think it would be fun to go with my friends. Though, I was expecting something better this year. 

Well, now I gotta get back to my ultimate turbo mode and complete the other work I have left. 

(AND SHWETHA I STILL KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS, AND I'M TELLING YOU ONE. LAST. TIME. YOU BETTER GET THOSE CHOCOLATES OR ELSE, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO TO YOU.)

Whatever.

The Beginning

Day 3 of the rest of the year.

SO TIRED. I CANNOT handle a busy schedule. It's HARD. My day starts from 7:00 PM. Only THEN do I get to spend the day doing what I should be doing. Which is, HOMEWORK. Though I really can't complain. A friend of mine who is in her senior year right now, gets her day at 9:00 PM which is when her tutoring session ends. TOUGH LUCK. 

Anyway, Shwetha wasn't really present at school today, so it was a little boring without someone to share my sarcastic comments on Irene with, which only Shwetha happens to understand and she even supports me on it. (Though Irene & Shwetha are best friends.)

(AND SHWETHA, I STILL KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS, SO BETTER GET THE GALAXY BUBBLES TOMORROW!)

But, anyway, I was watching the MTV VMA's the other day, and I was actually expecting Bad Girls by M.I.A. to win, but unfortunately, We found Love won. I didn't really enjoy the video much. I don't even happen to like the song. I got bored with it a little. Atleast Bad Girls won for Best Direction and Best Cinematography in a video.

YAY! I just got a topic in my head to talk about:

Comedy Shows:

I LOVE Comedy shows. I adore them. Watching comedy shows throughout my life was one of the things which really improved my English more than it should have, and, that's where my sarcasm comes from. I watch a lotta comedy shows. I GREW UP watching them. I used to watch FRIENDS on our little TV when we didn't have cable back in 2002 or something. It's one of the earliest shows I remember watching. *SWEET MEMORIES* Then as I grew older I started watching other comedy shows and stuff. But personally, I love sitcoms THE BEST. With a little story and drama. And a laugh track or an audience. That's like one of the reasons I don't enjoy Glee SO MUCH. I need laughs in the background. That's why my favorite comedy show is SNL. (Saturday Night Live) Comedy can't get better than that. 

Anyway, That's it. Nothing else to talk about.

Whatever.

The Beginning

Day 2 of the rest of the year.

OH GOD. I couldn't even keep my eyes open today. I just came back from Maths tutoring, and I seriously want to doze off. The moment I woke up in the morning, I was sleepy. First five classes at school, I was sleepy. EVEN at my Maths tutoring I was sleepy. It's really hard to act like you're listening when you're really not.

Overall, Today was kind of a good day. I had fun with Shwetha and (my other friends), Poornima, Irene, Anncy and Lisha. 

Still got the pressure of exams on my head though.

Not much to add about school today. Me and Shwetha talked about some significant holders today. (nobody needs to know what.) Did a lotta revising and studying. And all the boring, old school stuff. (AND, NOTE TO SHWETHA: I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS, SO BETTER GET MY GALAXY BUBBLES TOMORROW!)

I need a topic to blabber about now...FOUND IT! *On Random Topic Generator*

Barack Obama's deceased grandmother:

Never knew her. Probably never will. She must have been very beautiful. She will be missed. 

R.I.P.

NEXT TOPIC!

Fergie's marriage:

Was to Josh Duhamel. It's a nice one. I hope they last.

FINAL TOPIC!

Reasons not to be popular:

1. People judge you too much. Why? Because they know your name. And you. As you're popular.
2. Too much hard work. Gotta keep up the rep. Gotta keep up the image.
3. Can't afford to make ONE embarrassing mistake. If you do, people will remember it for life. WHY? Because they know your name. And you. As you're popular.

It's fine to be good popular. Not the bad one. 

Well, that ended my topic session for the week.

Moving on, I realized today, A person NEEDS atleast 6 hours of sleep. OR More. Soooooo.....SLEEP. At the approriate time. 

*What a horrible way to end a post.*

Whatever.

-Sam Frank.

The Beginning (Finally)

Day 1 of the rest of the year.

Well, today wasn't really as bad as I expected. I wasn't 'The Lone Ranger' getting up from my seat to show my class that I was the one who didn't do my work. Actually, I wasn't a Ranger at all. I had completed my work as I was supposed to, and I was confidently sitting on my seat. (Thanks to Shwetha.)

We had a couple of new teachers replacing our old ones, a LOT of the first day euphoria of meeting our friends after the vacation, (According to our supervisor.) and, I have to admit, I did have a little bit of fun. But everything is STILL the same. I HATE Maths, I LOVE English, and school hasn't even changed a bit. 

But, anyway, the worst thing is, Exams are just less 20 days away. I'm doing EVERYTHING I can to catch up with my studies. I take up ALL my free time at school, and just study away. If my class didn't know me, everyone would just think I am a paranoid nerd. But, read the second to last sentence again, "I take up ALL my free time at school." AT SCHOOL. I'm still the lazy hippo I've always been at home. Well, for the time being. (Why am I procrastinating SO MUCH?)

And I just got home from stationery shopping. I saw an amazing hand-stitched notebook in Paperchase, but it was too expensive. All the good notebooks over here are above 50 AED, which is probably around 14 American Dollars. It might not be that much in America. But around here it is. 

Oh, The Economy, controlling almost everything. (Mostly, money. But everything costs money these days. So.. Whatever.)

And according to my observations, my bag seems to be getting heavier everyday. Why can't lockers exist where they should?

Whatever.
