Rah-rah...royalty?

"You're the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"
Everybody stop, wait, look, see
You're the girl that could lie to my face
And fabricate a flood to get through to me
I went away and you found a replacement
So call him, don't call me
To the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"
You drama everything"

Hi!
See that exclamation point?

Hmm...I'm bored.
Oh I know. This post may seem a bit stingy...but it's my blog. I can do that.

So pretty much every school in America has a homecoming. And a lot of schools do the thing where during the week leading up to homecoming, you get to have those dress-up days with a different theme everyday. So that's pretty cool, right? Yeah. But you know what I don't like? Voting for things like "homecoming attendants" and "king & queen"...especially the way my school does it. The whole thing's one huge popularity contest. I mean seriously. Not once have I ever seen someone who was not considered "popular" be nominated. Now, not that these people aren't good people, that's not what I'm saying. But still...why do we have to establish who's the most popular in school? Isn't school a place for learning?

I dunno. That's Kenzeh's view on things.
Huh. Kinda short post today. I probably coulda said more but...oh well.
Aaaaanyway...um. Bye.

Math Is A Wonderful Thing

"I just wanted you to know
That the world is ugly,
But you're beautiful to me."

Hi.
I am litterally staring at a blank page with nothing in mind here. So...I guess this should be interesting.
Hmmm...
Oh, I know.

I am a perfectionist.
So much so that I am, in fact, obsessive-compulsive. I mean, think about it: Have you ever seen me use any texting abbreviations (ur, lyk, thx, abt...you know, junk like that.) at all? No, you haven't. Know why? Cause I'm THAT much of a perfectionist. I have to type just as perfect as I do anything else. It's like this with everything I do. If I write a letter weird looking, gotta erase it till it looks right. If I set something up but it doesn't look quite right, I'll have to rearrange it till its perfect. It even bothers me when my room is messy, which it is most of the time, but still. And my grades. That's a big one. If they're not all within the A-B range, Kenzeh is not happy.
So why all the sudden am I caring less about school work?
I don't know.
But it happened towards the end of last year.
Now, if you know me at all, you know that my math skills are nowhere near up to par. But that doesn't mean I still didn't want to try. And for the first two and a half semesters, all that trying was getting me a B. Good enough for me. Heh, that rhymed, but anyway, towards the end of the third semester, that B turned into a B-. And then a C. And eventually, yes, an F. And for some reason, I really wasn't bothered by it. I mean sure, the fact that I was going to have to retake the class haunted me a little. But other than that I was just kind of like, whatever.
Somehow, at the end of the year, that F worked its way back up to a B. I don't know how that happened either, but thank god it did. This year my math class isn't nearly as difficult as it was last year. Which is a good thing, I suppose.

Well, I just spent 20 minutes writing about something no one cares about. So that's pretty cool.
Erm...have a nice day.
