Work

As many of you know, I work for Mr. V and despite what he might think I love my job. It's a lot of fun and he's the best boss (just don't tell him that). I usually just grade papers, put them on renweb and put them away. It's pretty simple actually plus he feeds me so it helps me work harder *cough* *cough*. Even though I complain and make fun of Mr. V a lot I wouldn't want to work anywhere else =]. I'm very content with my job, he takes Kenji and I out to eat sometimes and is super nice to us. There is never a dull moment when I'm working (specially when Kenzi or Dani are in there =]), my work partner is great =] and I still get payed. It's the best kind of work there is.

Win- Win

Well, the past weekend Kenzi, Dan, Kenji and I all wanted to go out. We already said that we would go out on Sunday to the mall and then to Mrs. Tydings house to watch "Disturbia", but the only problem was that Mrs. West said that we had to be back at 7:30pm for worship. There was no way we were coming back that early when we were only leaving at 3:30 in the afternoon and we wanted to be with them longer than that. So we made a deal with Mrs. West, we would go out an hour earlier, like at 2:30pm, if she would let us stay out until 8:30pm and come back for study hall. It ended up working out, we were all happy. We got to spend more time with them and we were still back in time for study hall and chores.
Yay =]

p.s. We had a great time *wink* *wink*.

Kenny's Sister

That is a term I have heard all my life! It was like people thought that was my name, I wasn't Karen I was Kenny's sister. The worst part of it was the high expectations and impression of who I was to be. For those of you who don't know my brother he's practically perfect, straight A's, favorite child, favorite student, loved by ALL! It's torture going through life knowing you can never be that good ... so why try? =] and that is why I am the way I am. It's because I decided to stop try and be better than my brother and just be myself. So if you think I'm perfect .. you should really meet my brother, Kenny Tejeda. That is why I'm rebellious and so out spoken, it's because Kenny isn't rebellious and he's quiet and I wouldn't be able to stand being that way, it's just not me. On the first day of 6th grade my science teacher practically fell out of her chair when she found out that I was Kenny's sister because he was her favorite and she just absolutely loved him.. that day forward I swore I would be the loudest and most talkative person in the class.. and I was. =] Now, thank the Lord, I don't have to go through that because my brother never went to HVA, now I can start my own life as Karen Lilia Tejeda.

Best Friend

MacKenzi "Shiny" Hall .....

We instantly clicked on the first day.

We ended up having much in common.

She was one of the main people who understood me

because we came from similar situations.

Then we ended up getting really really close.

We can read each others minds.

We think the same things.

We can talk with our eyes and with two word phrases (which really annoys Kenji and Dan =])

I tell her basically everything.

She knows me more then anyone here.

We can talk forever about absolutely nothing

and I'm pretty sure we've laughed until we cried about 20 times =]

She makes me cry with laughter.

She makes me frustrated because she all ways has to go against what I'm saying.

She makes me laugh because of our stupidity,

but she makes me happy because I'm never alone

and that's why she is my best friend. She makes me angry, happy, and sad all at the same time. She makes getting through high school -which is basically my whole mission statement- a lot more fun and easy. We can talk about anything and every little random thing.

I LOVE YOU Shiny .. your ze bestest friend!

TV

My favorite thing to do on my spare time is to watch TV and movies. I love CSI (all of them), Law and Order (all of them), but I also like the TV shows like Ex List, and Greys Anatomy, Friends and Private Practice. Basically anything that has that sorta love thing, buts funny and kinda gross at times with the dead bodies and stuff.

No I dont believe this has anything to do with my mission statement, but I also dont believe its a waste of time. I do actually learn stuff from the CSI shows and the doctor type show, granted its not the most (or second most) educational show of all, but it is entertaining. Plus its not like I watch TV as much because we arent allowed to in the dorm. So for me watching TV is like a priviledge now, but I'm addicted to watching TV and if you gave me that priviledge I would probably abuse it =]

Science

Now let me just first say that I have no problem with Mrs. Barizo I just happen to have a problem with science.
I cant ever seem to pass any of the test or quizzes... it really irritates me.
I read everything she tells me to read, but it just doesn't stick to me because I don't care.
I don't care about molecules or biospheres.
I'm sorry, but I don't.
I wish I did care about how the Earth came to be and whats in it.
I don't learn from reading and taking tests.
I learn more hands on and interactive activities.
And although I have an A in her class, its a low A.
I'm shooting for a 4.0 and science is bringing my GPA down and its really getting me mad because its not my fault that I learn differently then how is taught.
But I've decided to just try harder.
I've decided to try and improve my reading and comprehension skills in science.
I'm going to try and hopefully that's good enough =]

Nerd ALERT!!

Yes, I know I'm a nerd. I've been a nerd since forever. Before Maryland I lived in Harrison, New Jersey. I was one of the smartest kids in my class. I got really good grades, but then I moved to
Maryland in third grade and everything got about ten times harder. I went from getting A's to C's. The curriculum got much harder and I had to work to bring up my grades. By fifth grade I was moved up to GT (gifted and talented) math and got back my straight A's never again getting anything lower then an A on my report card. I once again regained my smart kid, nerd status. In sixth grade I was moved up to all GT classes which was a bit challenging and remained in all GT classes throughout middle school. That means that each year I would learn what the year above me was learning, so last year I already learned and earned some credits for ninth grade. That's why most of the stuff is really simple for me and that's why I'm able to take some classes that others can not. So yes I understand that I am a little more advanced then others and yes I know I'm a big nerd, but next time you say that I hope you'll remember all the hard work and effort it took me to get there. I didn't just wake up one day and "boom" I obtained all this knowledge, it actually took some time. I had the brain power I just had to find the right way to use it all. So you can call me a nerd all you want, it doesn't hurt my feelings, I'm proud of my hard work and accomplishments! =]
