Today is Saturday, March 5th.

I slept forever last night, which makes sense since I was so so so tired yesterday, and it felt really good. The only downside was that I woke up kind of late in the morning and I had a lot of stuff to do today.

When I came downstairs in my pajamas Dad was still reading the paper at the table and he said, "Morning, sleeping beauty. What's the plan for today?" so I told him that I had to do a whole ton of homework and go over my research paper and then I was going to go to the football game with Blake and help her with her journalism class. He just nodded and said "That's good." and went back to the paper.

I grabbed a bowl and some cereal and ate breakfast in front of the TV and managed to catch the end of some funny weird cartoon about a camp. I don't usually eat in front of the TV but I might have to start because that show was really good. When I was done and washed my dishes I went back up to my room and got started on my homework.

I did the History stuff first. Oobleck wanted us to read a chapter from the textbook and then do an online quiz, so that only took about twenty minutes, but then, since I got assigned extra work, I also had to define fifteen terms and explain why they were significant, and that stuff always takes a lifetime to finish. Doing the terms almost put me back to sleep, so I rewarded myself with a short break and watched cat videos.

After that I started working on the essay that Mr. Port told me to do to make up for sleeping in class. I ended up reading ahead in The Odyssey, because it was really good, and it didn't take me too long to write a one-page, double-spaced paper. It gave me hope for my research paper too! It's amazing how quickly you can get a paper to two or three pages when every teacher wants it double-spaced. The research paper might not be as hard as I think :)

Although everything I wrote yesterday was pretty poorly done, but that's what I get for staying up all night to do it. I edited the first two pages but gave up and concluded that I'd just have to start all over.

Then it was lunch time so I reheated some of the leftovers from yesterday and read while I ate. My new book is all about a political upheaval in Renaissance Italy but it also has magic and drama and murder and romance and it's really good! I wonder if Blake has read it before? I hope not, because it would be so cool to be the one to give her a new book for once! :)

Anyway, after lunch I walked Zwei (it was really cold!) and when I got back Dad was pulling into the driveway. I hadn't noticed him leave – I thought he was just working in the basement or something – so I asked where he went and he said he made a quick trip to the grocery store. He made me help unload the groceries which annoyed me at first but when we were done he told me to close my eyes and hold out my hands and then he gave me a giant bucket of cookie dough! He said he could tell I was feeling down so he rushed over to the store while I was busy and got me something to cheer me up!

Dad is the best dad :)

We spent the next hour making cookies and talking about school and Mom and a little about Blake (because I mentioned how I wanted to take some cookies to Blake) and then we watched TV together and ate the little bit of cookie dough that was left at the edges of the bucket. It really made me feel better :)

Then I had to start getting ready for the football game so I ate some actual dinner (Dad said cookies didn't count) and showered and spent twenty minutes figuring out which outfit to wear but then remembered I'm just going to be wearing my coat the whole time so I just went with a sweater and jeans. I was still packing up all the stuff for my camera when I heard the doorbell ring and Zwei started barking so I rushed downstairs and put Zwei into Dad's room so Blake's allergies wouldn't act up and then I let her in and gave her a big hug and a small kiss. She said "I guess someone is feeling better?" and I laughed and said I was and then asked if she wanted anything to eat but she said we had to get to the stadium early so I just grabbed all my stuff (and some cookies!) and an extra pair of mittens and said bye to Dad and then got into the car with Blake.

It wasn't a long drive to school so we only talked about what to expect at the game. When we got there the parking lot was empty so we got a good spot and then walked to the gate. Blake showed the attendant the pass her teacher gave her so we got in and found a good spot at the fifty yard line and I started getting my camera set up. The benches were freezing! I think we were only there for like five minutes before I was shivering and my teeth were chattering really loud but Blake thought it was funny so it wasn't really all that bad. Plus we sat really close together to stay warm which was nice :)

Other people started showing up after a little while and it started getting noisy so Blake and I couldn't talk to each other easily but then the game got started so we were too busy anyway. It was really cool to be so close to the game! Blake had to scold me because I got distracted by the game and wasn't focusing on taking pictures. It's not my fault the game was so entertaining! Luckily I got some really good pictures. It was hard trying to balance the color temperature between the stadium lights and the fading sunlight but I think when they print it'll come out okay.

During the downtime between plays I'd watch Blake and she'd be furiously scribbling into her notebook and I was amazed at how fast she could write. I guess I shouldn't have been, since she manages to keep up with Oobleck during class, but it was still impressive to see how much she could write about a single play. Then again, people say pictures are worth a thousand words... :)

When it was halftime I went to get us some hot chocolate from the concessions booth and Blake and I dipped the cookies I brought in it. It was great to have something to warm me up after sitting in the cold for so long. Since a lot of the people either went to get food or just plain left (I don't know why they did, there was still a whole other half of the game!) it was a lot quieter and Blake turned to me and asked, "Do you want to talk about yesterday?" and I asked what she meant and she said, "You know, about what happened with Weiss?"

Even though I'd been having a great day I still felt mad about that so I said, "No." Blake sighed and said "I know you're probably still mad at her, but she's your best friend! I think you should apologize."

I grumbled and said that it was all her fault for being mean and she should apologize first, but Blake just said, "That's not how it works, especially with Weiss. Do you really think that none of it was your fault?" and I shook my head because I knew it was partly my fault and I said, "No, I started it, but I was just having a bad day! And she insulted me for being a lesbian! That really hurt me!"

Blake was like, "I know, believe me, and you can tell her that when you say you're sorry. But you also called her 'Ice Queen' and a bitch, and I know you know how much that hurts Weiss. You used to tell me how you hated that people called her that when she was so nice, and how they just didn't understand that she was super stressed."

I felt really guilty because I knew she was right and what she said made me think about what Weiss was probably doing at that moment and I felt even worse because she was probably alone, angry, and didn't have anyone like Blake to tell her that she messed up and needs to fix it. I gave Blake a kiss on the cheek and told her that she was too amazing. She just laughed and kissed me back, then stole one of my cookies :P

The rest of the game was pretty awesome and I got some great action shots. Our team won! Blake drove me home and we made plans to exchange copies of my pictures for her lab notes tomorrow and then she kissed me goodbye but before she left she made me promise I'd apologize to Weiss. I swore I would, cross my heart and hope to die :)

When I was going to my room to start going through my pictures I passed Yang's room and her door was open and I saw her changing out of her work outfit. There was a big purple bruise on her shoulder. I said, "Whoa, Yang, what happened? How'd you get that bruise?" and she turned around and looked a little surprised and said, "Oh, I slipped while carrying some dishes and hit my shoulder against a doorway. No big deal, but thanks for worrying! You're so cute." and she smiled at me then asked how my date with Blake was. I told her it wasn't a date but it went super well and then I left and worked on my pictures, then read more of my book.

I don't think Yang is telling me the truth, but I'm sure she'd tell me if something was wrong. It's probably nothing serious.

Today was a great day :)

XOXO :3

...

P.S. - There were some great pictures of Blake among all the one I took at the football game. I texted her the one I got of her face when one of the players got tackled a little too close to us. She told me to delete it immediately, so naturally I sent it to Yang and Pyrrha. Five minutes later I got a text from Blake that said "You will pay for this." :)

...

P.P.S. - I was going to call Weiss and apologize but I think it would be best to do it face to face. She's probably busy anyway. And it's late. Actually, I'm probably just nervous about talking to her. What if she's still mad? Waiting is better. I think.

...

P.P.P.S. - Dad and Yang ate the rest of the cookies! Now we're out again :(


Keep moving forward.
