Abortion

Okay Rory asked me a question four months ago that I did not have the answer to, but now I do. His question was:

What is your view on abortion?

Okay, so I do not like abortion personally but I think it is the girls choice to have the abortion or not. I don’t think it should be illegal to get one because, as horrible as it might sound, maybe the fetus thing is better off because they could be treated horribly and abused and almost get killed. So I am pro-choice. 

There was something quick that  didn't want to expand on. You don't have to agree with me, I'm not telling you to. Form your own opinion on it, that's what I did.

First Day of School

Actually went pretty well. I like all of my classes, or at least the people in them. Well all except math, I like the teacher he is a cool cat, but all the people in there are so annoying! So here are my comments on each of my hours.

A Hour/Chemistry - Gwara was nice, but its the first day so I am not quite sure what to expect. SO many people in that class. I am happy Serenity is in the class, she is like my favorite person. I think it will be a pretty good year as long as Gwara is a morning person. but of course she is probably not haha.

1st Hour/Int. Theatre - Same old same old theatre as last year. But double the annoying people, seriously I thought I was going to shoot myself. This year should definitely be... interesting. At least I will actually do some acting though!

2nd Hour/Hon. English - Oh my goodness I love Ms. Jackson, she might just have given the best first impression any teacher has ever given me. I really like my class haha lots of fun people. Only two guys in that class though, kind of strange. I heard she is not a morning person but she seemed perfectly fine for now(: Oh and I really like that saying she told us "Your perception is your own reality" (sorry if I butchered it) I just think it is really interesting when I gt to thinking about it. I am def going to love that class.

3rd Hour/French II - This was kind of strange because McMullin was like REALLY nice and laid back. She like lifted all of the tules that we had last year. Apparently pregnancy was really hard on her. Actually makes me think about taking French 3 haha. Anyways lots of people I hate last year and its looking to be a good year. I am very happy Abbey got it switched so she could have it with me.

4th Hour/Lunch - I actually kind of liked 4th hour, I thought I would miss 5th too much. But I pretty much hung out with these people over the hour - Jenna Kayla Cheyenne Chris Jenny Kaleina Amy and that one girl I forgot her name. But it looks like this lunch will be good. Oh and it was freakin' HOT!

5th Hour/Math - Love the teacher, Brandl is so legitimate not even kidding. I love his tatoos and his life is really interesting. The people in the class are pretty annoying but thats okay I guess. Oh and of course I have math with Derrick Goslin again, I have had a class with him since the 4th grade. I need a break ahah.

6th Hour/Seminary - I have the same hour I had last year and like 1/2 of the same people and I have the same teacher. So that is pretty good. Except the fact for 1/2 of the other 1/2 of the people. I CANNOT STAND THEM! Ahhhh. I want my old seminary class back! With Malia and Rory, that would be nice, thanks.

7th Hour/AP World History - I am kind of nervous about this class but I have a positive attitude about it. I really like Mr. Treat he seems like a cool guy. There are A LOT of people in that class, there wasn't even enough chairs. I am glad I have it with some of my friends though. I hope it will be a good class for me.

Oh one other weird thing that happened Julie (Jeannie's cousin who used to hate me) really talked to me, like she was really nice to me. I love how this happens when me and Jeannie aren't friends and Jeannie doesn't like Julie.

Kyra Ponkilla

Oh Kyra Ponkilla I don't even know what to say. I am so sorry that this is happening to you, and that it was just dropped on you like this. I am having a hard time even getting this through my head so I can't even imagine what could possibly going through your head right now. I am seriously holding back tears typing this because I don't know what I would do without you Kyra. I am just so happy we became friends last year, you are seriously my best friend Kyra and I love you so much. We have had so many good times and I never want them to end. I just wish your mom could have warned you so we could at least say good bye (for now). I do wish you the best in California and that maybe your mom will change her mind and bring you back home where you belong in a month. Maybe there is a reason that this is happening to you right now and though the reason may be blind I guess we both have to trust that this will be good for you and everything will turn out right. Like Sela said at least you have the beach with you<3 Kyra don't let this bump in the road get to you right now, things will get better for you and I am always just a phone call away Kyra. I love you and I am going to miss you so much. Everything will be okay, I promise.

What I said,

In my mind I hoped for this summer to be amazing, I even said it out loud. But this summer was much less than that. But one thing I did say about this summer was that it would change things, and in all honesty it did. This was a summer of loss and realization. This summer I pretty much drifted away from my best friend of four years, I lost her but I did a lot of thinking over time about it and I know that it really is for the better. On a different note, I changed a lot this summer. I found out a lot of things about myself that was crucial for me to even move on with my life. I learned a lot about other people, good things and bad things. So even though this summer was not amazing like some of my others have been, it was a summer that changed me. Changed me for the better.

Well just thought I would get that little snip out there.

Anyways,

school starts this upcoming Wednesday. I still need to finish 1984. Not that it is a bad book or anything its just that I have a short attention span on things that don't keep me on my feet. 

I am really quite excited for school to start I feel like my life will be back to normal when it starts. A new year, a fresh start. Summer is coming to a close but I still have a couple plans that need to be fulfilled, like hanging out with Macy and Madi. 

Unfortunately, only one event was crossed off the bucketlist:/ 

We still need chalk night, movie night and a concert I believe.

One last note,

my grandpa is over and I find it hard to communicate with them, that is something that I need to work on.

Day Thirty

Last day of the challenge!
Day 28- A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned

Day 30- Who are you


Well to start off and say the simplest I am Sydney Richardson, 14 years old. I am probably (not to sound conceded) one of the most mature 14 year olds you will ever meet. I am a sophomore at desert ridge and the second youngest in my class. I am now and forever known as the middle child in my family. I am just pretty much your ordinary girl. I am just trying to find my way in life. I set my own opinions and listen to others. I am Sydney Richardson and thats pretty much all I will ever be, well until I get married and get a new last name.

Day Twenty-Eight

Day 26- What you think about your friends

Day 27- Why are you doing this 30 day challenge

Day 28- A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

Well the most obvious physical change is that my hair is now half the length is was a year ago. I also don't have highlights anymore so a lot less blonde then I had before. Most of my teeth have grown in now as compared to before when I had some random vampire teeth that were like only coming half way. I have gotten taller to the point that I am officially a average sized 14-year old. When it comes to non-physical changes I am a lot more confident than I was a year ago. I am now more independent. Before I did things wondering what certain people would think about it or I would always think everything I did was bad compared to what everybody else was doing. I still haven't completely found myself yet but I know now what I don't want to be like. I have changed a lot in a year, thats all I can say I guess.

Day Twenty-Seven

Day 25- What I would find in your bag

Day 26- What you think about your friends

Day 27- Why are you doing this 30 day challenge


Why? Because I noticed I had nothing t blog about all summer so I guess this would help me out a little bit. And it sounded fun to me and not too complicated. 

School.

Wednesday August 11th. One week and two days. School starts. 

I can officially be called a sophomore, even though I still look like a freshman.

It seems so unreal that school is starting so soon. I can't decide if the summer went by fast or slow.

Anyways, I am so excited for school to start. I cannot wait to see the people that I haven't seen in a long while. I got the first glimpse of it today when I saw Kyra Ponkilla who I haven't seen since the last day of school and I have missed her so much.

Anyways, school is like my life, kind of. It gives me things to do. School has introduced me to just about everything that is important to me. Like people or activities. 

And to think that I am a quarter done with high school? That is crazy. If this year went by as fast as it did last year I will be a junior before I can even blink! 

The future is amongst us all! We can either be afraid of it or embrace it. I didn't realize how fast life goes until recently and I just want to live my last 3 years of high school! I'm not going to waste it I am going to make something of it. I want to be able to have good memories from my high school experience to tell my kids. Speaking of kids if I followed in my moms footsteps I could be getting married in 5 years and having kids in 6. Crazy? YES. 

Time to embrace life and understand that I can't stop the future was coming.

And news flash; neither can you.

Day Twenty-Six

Well they must be some pretty special people if they are my friends haha. I hang out with a wide variety of people and I think of each one differently. I love all of them for different reasons. One thing that all my friends have in common though is that they all have hearts. My friends are pretty amazing even if other people won't agree with me no matter what other people try to say. I love all my friends and I think I know they are all very special.
