CONGRATS!

I GOT ALL C'S AND ONE B ON MY REPORT CARD-

Last term I failed. I'm normally a A-B student but this year just knocked me down. I can't do remote for the life of me.

RELATABLE, actually for us it's the opposite. Everyone doing online school is getting good grades, because the curriculum is easier and not as good, and people have more opportunities for cheating lol.

But you got this! I know you can do it. :)

Online school sucks. :(

Yeah I can totally see that. A lot of people in my school cheat and I would too if I could actually focus.

Because basically I have ADHD and I can't sit still enough to stay on the computer for over seven hours. The curriculum is a lot easier but I'm already so busy and my mind can't focus so I don't get anything done.

Thank you!

Ohh yeah, I feel you. I don't cheat because I just don't feel into it. I don't know it just doesn't fell right loll.

But anyway, I totally feel you. I don't have ADHD, but I find it quite hard to sit still too. Like even when sitting I'm always moving a body part (right now it's my leg shaking), let alone stay focused.

I think in person it was easier to focus because I don't know, you were able to move around more. Things were just so much easier for me lol.

<3

Ohh yeah I feel kind of bad know. I mean I just didn't want to flat out lie about it. Because honestly I would cheat if I was given the chance.

Exactly, right now I'm shaking my hands as I'm typing. The typing is good though. If I had eaten sugar in the morning (I didn't actually eat anything) then it would have been better because sugar slows down my thoughts and I have less of an urge to move. Weird I know. For other people it does the opposite but for me it helps. That's why I'm always eating candy and chocolate.

Oh yeah totally. I was able to walk around the classroom and take short walks. But when I'm at home I'm just stuck. I was in school for a few weeks but I got quarantined for the third time because somebody in school could the virus. So I'm stuck at home for another week.

I AM DETERMINDED to get better grades this term.

Yeah, it's cool! :)

Yeah, exactly. I'm now wiggling my toes, I don't know why XD.
Ohh really? That's quite interesting. Like you said it actually does the opposite for my sister lol. She had like 3 chocolate bars yesterday and she was running the house in circles lol.
But it's cool that it calms you down! I love chocolate and candy lol.

Yes, exactly. It was ore of an open space, and home is just...enclosed lol. Oh darn! I'm full time online so that hasn't happened to me, but some of my friends go in person, and same thing happened to them.
I hope you stay safe! <3

YESSS YOU GOT THIS

Toe wiggling is always nice XD! Oh no, little siblings running around is a nightmare.
Yeah it is actually, I love all sweets.

EXACTLY- Ah I was fully remote for a little bit but I just couldn't do it.
I haven't gotten sick yet! Though I never get sick so..

Anyways!

THANK YOU!!

Haha, for real! Lol, exactlyyy!
Yes, same, I have a huge sweet tooth!

I know right! There are just some times which I am like...I can't do this...I NEED TO BE AROUND PEOPLE, as my title says, I am extroverted.

VERY EXTROVERTED. Like I need to be around people or I get so sad. School provided that social activity, but it's harder to interact in online school. :(

That's great that you don't get sick!

<3

My favorite chocolate is either cookies & crème white chocolate Hershey's bars OR Reese's. Both very different and then I love any candy.

I'm a bit in the middle. Like I love talking to people but I normally hate most people and most of them are to loud for my head. But I like being around my friends and such. Other people are normally a no.

Oh yeah I agree with that. Before this I had a bunch of friends who I talked to everyday but now I only have a few close close friends who text me every other day. But I have made a lot of new friends, mainly on Goodreads. So, that's a plus.

I am, I hate the idea of being sick. I think it's because when I was a baby I had so many didn't illnesses. But I also have a disease that doesn't effect my health so actually I think that counts as being "sick"? Maybe?

:D <3

Oooh all those sound good! I am vegan though, so I can't really have milk chocolate or anything with milk lol. But before I went vegan I had all that and loved it! Now, I only eat dark chocolate, but I am still in love with chocolate! :p

Oh so like an ambivert? Yeah, I agree. A lot of people can just be so crazy lol. Same, I prefer being around my friends to strangers, but I still like being around people.

Yeah, I know right! Same here. It's like we are drifting apart, but I think we will get back together when we go back in person. :)
Same here! I joined GR February 2020, but only got really active around November 2020 and I've made so many friends here!

Same, I hate being sick too. Ohhh yeah. Hmmm are you talking about ADHD? I honestly wouldn't consider that as "sick" lol.

Oh really? That's cool! I personally, am vegetarian. I don't think I could part with milk or chocolate like that XD But good for you! I don't really like dark chocolate because it's bitter in my opinion, but if you like it!

Yes that's the word! I knew there was a word for it, I just couldn't remember. Oh yeah in real life, I can't talk to strangers, I can only talk to my friends. It's weird.

Exactly, I have a few friends that are remote still and hopefully we do drift back together. Though if we haven't been talking, I don't think we'll become friends again or anything like that. But then again, I can't really talk to somebody unless they start the conversation.

Kind of. But I mostly thing of ADHD as a disorder of sorts. I'm talking about PCOS. Which basically I can't have children. That's it in simplest form.

That's cool! I used to be vegetarian too! Well, I've been vegetarian my whole life, only a couple months ago I switched to vegan.

It's because in US, they put a lot of hormones in the milk, so when I drink the milk, the hormones affect my acne. Badly. :(

And, not all dark chocolate is bitter! I feel you, I once got this extra dark chocolate, it was horrible, so bitter I couldn't stand it. But generally not all dark chocolate is bitter. :)

Yeah, a lot of my friends are like that! I wouldn't call that weird. :) Bunch of my friends are too shy to talk to strangers, and I used to be like that. But now I've become more open lol.

Yes, I hope so too! Yeah, exactly. Haha, relatable! It's a bit awkward when you start the conversation XD. But when the conversation starts, it's quite nice.

Ohhh well even PCOS, I wouldn't call that sick. I don't know how to word it without sounding rude (I don't intend to sound rude), but I don't think that's sick. :)

Sorry I had a few classes to attend!

Ohh cool! I've only been vegetarian for about a month now.

Oh right true! I've heard that but every kind I try is bitter. Are there any good brands you know of that aren't bitter? I'd like to try a sweet kind of dark chocolate. Who knows, maybe I'll like it!

A lot of my friends are the opposite. Their pretty loud and they like talking a lot but I guess they just don't like me well enough? I don't know.
Exactly! When you start a conversation it's very weird and awkward but after a few minutes it's alright.

Hm yeah I guess so. I think it's all a matter of opinion really. My doctors call it a "sickness" so that's what I've been calling it. Oh and don't worry about sounding rude or not, I don't get offended easily and I handle rudeness everyday (*cough My brother cough*)

You're good! :)

Ooh cool! How is it? What made you become a vegetarian out of curiosity?

Ohh yeah, so there's this dark chocolate which I'm addicted to, it's not completely chocolate, but they are dark chocolate covered blueberries! They aren't bitter at all!
Here's the link to it, I sent the link to the Amazon page, but I'm sure other places will have it too! I get mine at Costco. :)

https://www.amazon.com/BROOKSIDE-Choc...

If you do try it, hope you enjoy! <3

Ohh lol, yeah I know a lot of people like that, but I don't mind too much, as long as they don't constantly talk to an extent where I get a headache XD. Hmmm, I'm not sure! Maybe that's just how they roll lol.

Yeah, exactly XD.

Hmmm, I wouldn't really consider it a sickness. In my dictionary, I consider sicknesses like covid, the flu, fever, the plague, migraines, things like that?
Haha. :)
Darn, is your brother that rude? Or is it more like playful rude like my sister XD

This may sound like a pretty pathetic reason but a month ago in school we were learning about how male cows are raised and then murdered. And honestly it made me sick so I decided to never eat meat again.

Oo that chocolate looks soo good. I should buy some to try it! I'll probably do that when I get more money on my card. Thanks for telling me about it and sending a link. It's pretty cheap too!

Yeah, I hate headaches almost as much as I hate being sick. And sometimes I do get really bad headaches while talking to my friends but it's fine.

Ah yeah I get that. I pretty much just think any kind of sickness is classified as being sick. But then again my opinion on things change every month. Last month I thought the virus was untreatable. And three months before that I thought it was fake.
Oh gods yes. Yesterday I asked him if he could help me with some cleaning and he said "Nah. No you can do it all" Like seriously?

Well, I have pretty decent teachers, it's just the curriculum. I used to go to one of the best schools in the country, before covid. So before the curriculum was quite rigorous. But, now the curriculum has really slacked off lol. It's so disorganized and confusing.

And my school switched to something called "Buzz" which is kind of like Google Classroom, but wayyy worse and has much more glitches.

Honestly, the only reason I put up with the crappy education is because we have decent teachers who understand our pain lol.

Ehh that's not pathetic! But, yeah, no offense to meat lovers, but it just makes me sick thinking about it. :(
I mean I'm vegetarian for religious reasons, but it's also because I'm an animal lover, similar to your reason XD.

I know right! It's quite good, alright! No problem!

Yeah, I agree.

Hahaha, why is that true? I remember in January 2020 my friends were just laughing about it and now...we have all gone insane lmaoo.

Oh darn! I hate that, my sister does it too. So relatable. :(

Oh yeah exactly. They don't have enough help for people doing remote either. It's either you pass or fall.
And don't be disappointing in yourself! I'm sure you tried you best and just know you did a lot better then me. I mean I failed the first two terms.

WAIT BROOKE YOU DO BUZZ TOO?? WE CAN SUFFER TOGETHER. I THOUGHT ONLY MY DISTRICT DID BUZZ ALFKJSKLFJSA

And yeah all of you will do awesome next term, you got this! <3

Oh good! Yeah totally, I almost threw up in class (TMI I now).
Even though they might now speak our language, I hate how we treat them. I mean it's one think to raise them up but it's another to raise them just for slaughter.

I know right?! We were all just joking around about it and them BAM it becomes real.

Haha, I would have done the same to be honest XD.
I know right! Exactly. :( It makes me sad.

Haha, exactlyy! In January 2020 we were like hehe...a virus...as if we would believe that...and next thing you know, in 2 months we are quarantined. :/

BUT AT LEAST WE ONLY HAVE 1 MONTH LEFT OF SUFFERING"

YESSSS THANK GOD

Abby, it's a thing that sucks. It's better than you don't know its horror. Just kidding!

Basically Buzz is a learning platform, similar to Google Classrom, except it's wayyyy worse. The layout is crappy, and it glitches a lot, and the lessons on it aren't the best XD.

EXACTLYYY, I think from 2009, they are so outdated, and pretty boring.

I know right! Precisely. :/
