Something That Helped Bring Me Back

I decided to update again because I get lonely and bored in third period. (I tend to stay away from the rest of the students in here because they're either complete morons or druggies... or both.)
Plus, I can't seem to pass this algebra lesson on slope-intercept form. I've been stuck on it for a week now, and it won't let me move on to the next lesson until I pass this one... so it's really frustrating.
Only now do I thoroughly regret failing algebra my freshman year. *sighs* I'm almost done with it, though, once I get past slope-intercept, so... I'll just keep working at it.

Today has been pretty decent so far, excluding this morning before I got to school, when I felt depressed and didn't want to talk to anyone at all.

I felt better when I got to U.S. History: The humidity made my hair curly again once I got out of the car, even though I straightened it this morning until it was board-flat. When I got to class, I randomly asked if anyone had a hair tie I could use to pull it back, because by this point I've grown too annoyed with it being curled up in my face to tolerate it anymore.
One girl let me have one of hers, so I went to the bathroom to pull it back... and I was super happy to find that most of my hair is now long enough to keep in a ponytail.
Super, super happy. C: I've missed being able to pull my hair back; it feels really nice.
Now I'm walking around campus with my hair up, wearing what I call my "Nazi rookie hat" on top of that. (It's the black hat I bought when I went to the mall with Menna and Kathy back in August, when I visited Vegas for the summer.)

Law was flat-out easy for me today. Our teacher let the class correct their failed tests from last week, and since I'd already done that immediately after taking that test, I was free to sit around and do whatever I wanted—which was, basically, to sit around and talk to the teacher, Laura, Chandice, and some guy that sits behind Chandice, whom we've begun calling Dude Guy since we can never remember his name. (Tomas was at a college/career assembly with the rest of the seniors in the school for most of class.)
Laura, Chandice, and I chatted throughout the hour, basically, about anything—mostly our boyfriends, how tiny Chandice was compared to Laura and me, that sort of girl stuff.
When the seniors finished the assembly, it was time for the juniors to go, but I'd already decided ahead of time that I wasn't going to go. I stayed in Law instead. (I'm not going to college here anyway, so why bother, I thought.)
When Tomas came back to class, he had to correct his test, too, to his disappointment. xD When the teacher didn't appear to be listening in on us, he constantly tried to ask me for the answers he didn't know, but I couldn't remember any of them and I wouldn't have indulged him even if I had. ||D;
For the rest of the class, the three of us (Tomas, Dude Guy, and I) wasted time talking about (a) Tomas's ability to mimic Elmo's and Smeagol's voices perfectly, (b) his issues with him, Chandice, and her boyfriend (and how jealous she apparently gets when he hangs around with other girls), (c) something about Mexican similarities between him and his father, and (d) advice from Dude Guy about my braces, since he has them, too (because the wire in mine has begun to stab at the backs of my cheeks, proof that they're doing their job and moving my teeth, and it's bugging me).

I left Law to find it was raining outside, and my hair is unaffected now that it's pulled back, so I'm not annoyed with it. >D HA! TAKE THAT, CRAPPY TEXAS WEATHER!

I still have fourth, fifth, and sixth period to deal with today now, but I think it'll be fine. I hope so, at least.
After school, Chris and I are going to get our hair trimmed, because my hair needs to continue growing out smoothly and he wants to look nice for Father next week. (Our spring break is next week, for those of you who don't know that, and we're going to be in Oklahoma visiting our father for the whole of it. :/)
Oh, and once he and I get home, I really need to get some more pictures of me and him for my multimedia project, before Thursday. So I'll do that tonight. (Those of you that expected me online tonight will have to wait a little bit. I need those pictures; they're part of a major test grade. Be patient with me, mmk?)

... I'm doing pretty well right now, save for the fact that my braces are ripping up my bottom lip. q__q Ow... Should've brought the wax I've got left.

So, I'll talk to you guys later, ne? <3

P.S. I owe an explanation about this morning to my little flower.

I also need to have a serious talk with a certain individual about some ridiculous behavior that I've been hearing about another certain individual.
Why do I have to be the peace keeper, guys? Honestly? = =;

Oh! Kathy! I am so sorry I ignored you last night on AIM. ; ; I had shit going onnn.
