Today is Monday, March-

Today is Monday, February 29th.

Ugh, leap years always get me! Now I'm sure that I wrote 'March 1' on all my notes today, and when I go back over them to study I'm going to be so confused!

Today was kind of boring, which isn't too unusual for a Monday. It's like we've been in school for long enough that now everyone's kind of just waiting for Spring Break so we can do fun things!

Zwei woke me up before my alarm went off because I guess Dad forgot to let him outside when he woke up, so I had to go downstairs and let Zwei outside and then since I was up already I decided to just start on my morning routine. I had cereal and orange juice and read a little bit of the paper because I had the extra time and I saw an article that said that the new art museum was finally open! I think it would be really fun to take Blake there some time, because she seems like she'd love to go and we'd get to talk about art and stuff. She keeps teasing me by saying that she has a really great date idea in mind but things keep getting in the way! Last week it was the snow and this week she had to cover the football game for her journalism class so we didn't even get to hang out. I wish I knew what she had planned!

Yang came down while I was doing dishes and she looked super tired again. I asked her how she felt and she made some weird hand gesture at me and then said "Good." but she looked like she was about to collapse. She needs to stop talking to Neo all the time and get some sleep! Our math test is on Friday!

The walk to school today was great because the weather suddenly got really warm for some reason so for the first time in what felt like forever I didn't have to wear my big coat or my boots! I felt so light without them, and I practically skipped to school! Yang kept telling me to slow down because I was leaving her behind, but it's her fault for not getting enough sleep!

Blake was waiting for us again and I gave her a big hug and then returned the book she lent me. I finished it last night and it was so good! I asked her how the football game went and she said it was freezing during the game so she could barely write down notes or anything and the bleachers were metal so her butt kept getting cold and then the team lost so nobody was happy. I said I was sorry for how bad it was and gave her a kiss to cheer her up and she smiled :)

Then I said that maybe I should go with her to the next one so I could take pictures for her so she didn't have to take as many notes. She said that that was a great idea!

History was really boring. Oobleck was so upset that he missed some classes last week that he's spent the entire time going over what the substitute taught us, which normally would be a good thing because I'd get a second chance to take notes, but since the sub talked so much slower I actually already got the notes, and there's nothing more boring than hearing the same history twice. Blake and I just made doodles in each others' notebooks :)

When class was over Oobleck reminded us that we had a research paper due in a couple weeks and I got a little nervous because I'd totally forgotten and hadn't started yet! I asked Blake if she'd started yet and she said "Yeah, I'm almost done with all the research, and I've come up with a strong thesis... after that it's just spending time writing it!" which made me even more nervous because I hadn't even come up with an idea yet! I'm going to have to dedicate a lot of time soon to writing it, but I don't know when because I have tests to study for and Weiss' fencing tournament is next weekend and I want to hang out with Blake and go to the art museum! School is so hard :(

In English we're starting The Odyssey which from the short description Mr. Port gave us sounds awesome! Mythology is so cool! It's also a total departure from the rest of the stuff we've read this year, so that's pretty cool too! Jaune said he was having some trouble deciphering all the epic poetry stuff, so I'll probably have to schedule some time to help him understand it. That just means less time for my research paper, which is totally not a problem at all...

The math teacher yelled at Yang again and gave her a detention. It seems like Yang gets a detention in that class every day! On Friday it was because she fell asleep, and today it was because she was playing games on her phone. I asked her about it after class, because Yang doesn't usually play games on her phone, and she said "I wasn't playing games, I was looking up sign language. The teacher thought I was playing because I was practicing the signs." When I asked why she was doing that instead of paying attention to the class she said, "I thought I'd use the time to actually learn. It's not like we're taught anything useful in that class anyway... Jokes on her though, I learned how to say 'Please pass the ice cream'."

Before I could ask how that was going to be useful I had to leave for Science class. I've been waiting for the opportune time to get Sun and Weiss together, but since Sun got so mad at the suggestion last week I've focused on trying to find something they'd both enjoy and then Blake and I can pretend to invite them to the thing and then they'd be there together and they'd see that they're both awesome and perfect for each other! I keep thinking about using the movies, but then they'd just sit far away from each other and they wouldn't be able to talk without ruining the movie, so I need to come up with something different. So far I know that Weiss likes fancy stuff like ballet and fencing and singing, and that Sun likes cool stuff like skateboarding and sports and rock music. I don't really know how to get those to overlap, but I'll figure something out!

Anyway, when I got to class they were both already there, so I didn't have a chance to talk to either one of them and then the teacher showed up and we had to take notes. I'm trying to get Blake to help me but she still thinks it's a bad idea to force this sort of thing, but I keep saying that I managed to get Pyrrha and Jaune together and they turned out great.

At lunch we all collaborated to turn our utensils into a plastic spork scorpion out of sporks, napkins, and some tape Ren had in his backpack. I was going to ask why he keeps tape in his backpack but then I remembered how much time he spends with Nora. Yang showed up after 'serving her time' and immediately called our magnificent work of engineering genius a "sporkion". She thinks she's so funny.

When school was over Blake asked me if I wanted to hang out but I said I needed to work on all my homework. She looked sad so I gave her a kiss and said I was sorry, but I really had a ton of homework to do! I had my research paper, a reading assignment for English, review sheets for math, and a science worksheet! Last week was so easy, why is this week so hard? Spring Break is coming up soon, why can't my teachers just relax? :(

Blake said it was okay and that she'd text me later.

As soon as I got home I had to take Zwei for a walk and then I started on my homework. I put on some music and just tried to get as much done as I could. When Dad called me for dinner I'd finished the science and math, but I still had to read and come up with a thesis for my research paper. Dad let me get out of doing dishes when I told him how much homework I had – I should use that excuse more often.

I was reading The Odyssey in the living room when Yang came home and she had a big smile on her face and when I asked her what was up she just said that work was great and Neo was in a good mood today, and then she went upstairs.

I don't know how to feel about Neo – on one hand, she hits Yang and is mean to her at work and stuff, but on the other she gives Yang rides and seems to make her super happy. Yang's even learning sign language for her, and that's got to be good, right?

It also helps that Yang said that Neo was a patissier (which means fancy-dessert-maker or something) and wanted to teach her some recipes which means that I might get to have fancy desserts!

Maybe she's okay after all.

When I was done reading I got some ice cream and watched a little TV before I went to bed and then Blake texted me so I texted with her for awhile. We talked mostly about school and then we texted each other goodnight and I went to bed.

Now I just need to remember that tomorrow is March 1st, not the second!

Goodnight!

XOXOXO :3

P.S. - I forgot to do my research! Darn!


Thank you for reading.

Keep moving forward.
