Week #1

Aloha, People of the internet. My name is Melon, and somehow, you have stumbled upon my blog. I’m new at this, so don’t judge!
Now, after my sorry excuse for an intro, embark on the magical world of. . . My Beautimous Life. So this is how it’s going to work: I am going to update you weekly on my life.
Monday: I. Am. Tired. Whoever created Mondays deserves a slap in the face. I literally spent most of Sunday evening on Netflix. Productive, I know. Anyways, I feel like a log.
In geography, we were in the computer lab researching stuff for our projects on different aspects of Russian life. I learned two things from this experience: One, Russians love their vodka, and two, they have a dessert made of marshmallows and chocolate. Its genius, I tell ya, GENIUS!
In PE we were doing a game of tug-of-war, but I was wearing boots. Those floors are slippery! I ended up falling down and sliding across the floor. I must have looked so smooth out there.
Tuesday: We had a grammar test today in English and I think I flunked it. At lunch, my friend Kat decided to bring an avalanche of little children to where I was sitting, and let them bury me. I think I’m scarred for life because of this incident. Note to the world: Children are awesome, but when they come at you in groups of more than five, I suggest you go home curl up in a ball under your bed, and don’t come out until after the zombie apocalypse (so basically never)!
Wednesday: Whoever decided to create the high school application process was seriously messed up! I thank them for making my life miserable. Also, why does a school need to know all of this random stuff about us? I was filling out an application form with a bunch of fill in the blanks. One was ‘My favorite midnight snack is. . .’ I don’t know about everyone else, but I am not staying up until midnight for a snack. I NEED my beauty sleep.
Today at lunch I discovered, once again, that I have the weirdest friends ever. I was eating a yogurt tube, and my friend decides that it’s a good idea to squeeze it and go “Squishy squishy, bum bum” It’s times like these that make me reflect on my life choices.
Later, during physical education, my friends and I were trying to perfect our dance routine (Every year we have to make dance routines to perform). It involved a lot of falling. At this point in the day, I decided to take off my shoes, which resulted in a lot of pain. We tried to create a pyramid. I was at the bottom because I am the tallest child in our group, and most of my friends could not support me to save their lives (no offense, guys)! Of course, since most of us are pretty awkward and clumsy, we all ended up in a big pile. Surprisingly, this happens to be the best routine in our entire class. Sadness!
Thursday: Humph. That’s all I have to say about school right now. We have a geography project, English essay, science fair project, AND a French poster. What is the point of giving out all of these projects at once? Of course to top it all off there our high school applications due soon. I am very stressed right now, and yet so calm. I feel like I just want to go to sleep forever!

  1. I am looking forward to reading your posts every week. My favorite part of your post is when you said that whoever created Mondays deserves a slap in the face. Ha hilarious!

  2. I am really excited and will definitely be checking out your blog every week to see a new post. I love your URL - chocolate marshmallow - yumm! I thought it was really creative how you did a day-by-day summary.

  3. Melon, your posts are so funny! You think Mondays suck because whoever created them deserves to be slapped. Russians like their vodka and awesome chocolate marshmallow cake. You say that I could not support you to save my life...must start working out :). And sleeping forever sounds great...my bed should come here to school with me.

  4. Love this post, Melon! And yes, Russians do love their vodka. I love Tuesday's summary! Groups of small children sounds frightening. They seem so cute, and then you find out who they REALLY are. On Wednesday, I have to agree with you on one thing: sometimes, I do have to reflect on my life choices... I have some really weird and crazy friends as well! Good luck on your high school application too :) I can't wait for more posts and day-to-day summaries- I think they are a neat way to organize your post!

  5. Woa, woa, what is all of this about Russians and vodka? On a brighter note, I enjoyed your comments on groups of little children. I know that everything always does seem to happen at once. Don't worry, when you're an adult it doesn't stop!

  7. I love this blog post. It is so random, but it symbolizes a typical day in the life of a middle school student, (in k-8th schools). It is well written and full of frustration, philosophical statements and above all - humor!
