Class.
I really hope that since I finished my paper in English class, I can actually be on here blogging.. Maybe if my teacher sees me typing she'll just think I am still working on my paper. Or maybe this is okay. I did get my work done. I absolutely love Bend High. It is so wonderful. All of it. I have so much fun everyday. It's weird to wake up and look forward to school. For the first two years of High School, I woke up and wanted nothing more than to jut curl up under my covers and never go to school. I hated it with a fiery passion. I don't know what it is about Summit High that didn't work with me. There are truly some really nice people there. Also a lot of plastic people. In general, everyone judges a lot. I would smile at people in the hall, and then receive a nice, friendly glare. How kind! At BHS, that doesn't happen. It's so incredible. I can't believe it. I didn't think any high schools worked like that. I wore a mohawk to school last week. People commented on it and said it was awesome. I felt happy that I work such a crazy haircut. At Summit, I would be looked at like, "WTF?!" and then get royally judged. Goodie! It's Friday today. Class is almost out. Maybe I'll blog later. I have to clean up this mess I've made and turn in my really, really exciting paper. WOO.

Oh Yeah...
So for a while there, I forgot I had a blog.. Seeing as I haven't written in way too long. A really exciting few things happened though!
First off, I paid my outstanding library fine of, yes, $13.00 off, so now I feel like a free human, and I've been reading a lot, seeing as I can now get books again. But I have resisted paying that fine for so long that I've forgotten how to use a library, so now I have to work on that. Good thing librarians are there to find the books for you. I recently finished reading 'Push' by Sapphire, 'Where The Heart Is' by Billie Letts, 'The Female Brain' by someone who's name I forgot, and 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy. Excellent books! I enjoyed all of them! Highly recommended!
Secondly, I am officially a Bend High School student! I no longer go to Summit High! I'm so thrilled about this. Summit was great for the first two years of HS, and it taught me a lot of things about myself and taught me patience, but mainly it taught me that I needed to continue for my search for "Indie Hipster Funk Soul Brothers" to make friends with. Which brought me to BHS, where through a Summit friend, I met some amazing friends, Maddy, Alex, and Janet! And I'm beginning to meet their friends and make friends with them and everything is so great I almost can't believe it and have to make sure I'm not dreaming this. It's so fun, that after waiting for 2 years to find my perfect friend group, and I finally have and it's greater than I expected! I am always having fun, and I am loving the person I am becoming. Just last year, I hated school, and home, and people, and family, and generally life, and wondered what the point was, and I guess you could say that I shrunk up inside myself and became just a shadow of the crazy Kate Kennedy I once was. Until just recently, I have exploded out of my shadowy self and now I feel like I could take on the world. I am so thrilled, and I love everything, and I look forward to new challenges! I can't wait to have this fresh start at BHS. Everyone asks if I'm transferring to BHS because of Summit drama and that no matter where I go there will be drama, but what they don't understand is that I'm transferring because there are people at BHS that are like me, and original, and non exclusive. Sure, there will be the traditional cliques and shit, but now that I have met a sturdy group of friends, I'm going to be able to get through them without being majorly injured. I look forward to this coming school year. I really like re-learning the meaning of fun.
Third, uhh.. I don't know, but I just can't wait to see what comes across my path these next few years. I look forward to seeing what I do after HS. If my uncle is still living in NYC, then I might go there for a gap year and do some waitressing because to me that has always sounded fun, and start saving up for what life throws at me, and I will try and pursue a musical career. Millions have done it, I want to be one of them.
Tomorrow night I'm going downtown to First Friday Art Walk and I'll be playing guitar on the street for the evening. Hopefully I can make some money for the month. We'll see. 13 days until my birthday, I can't even wait to be seventeen. I've waited for this for a long time. One year and 13 days until I am officially an adult. That freaks me out more than anything though. My parents say that it freaks them out, but I've over here sharting my pants thinking that I'm going to have to start supporting myself and living my life and not just taking naps and checking facebook all day.
It's going to be a long haul these next several years. Who knows what I am going to do with my life. I haven't the faintest idea.
