Well...I've never really had a blog before?So I'm not really sure what to write about but I suppose a blog is somewhat like a publicized journal thing where you write about like your views on stuff. So...yea :). I guess I'll write about pet peeves because I can't really think of anything else to write about right now, well I can but I wouldn't put it up on the internet because you know once you put something on the internet it can get anywhere and next thing you know my cousins from India will be talking about it amongst themselves and I would be like "how did you know that?" and they would be like"BLOG" and i would be like "ahhhhhhh!". And then somehow I would get in trouble for it and my mom would take my phone...for like the hundredth time. Actually, she would take my phone up alot last year, but this year she hasn't like...once haha. I think it's 'cause like in 8th grade I was sorta bad but this year I have managed to stay out of trouble :D. It could also be because she seems to be less stressed now. Like my brother had got married this summer, so she was all planning the wedding last year. So, maybe that made her more stressed, and she like projected her stress onto me? Anywho, that's probably one of the reasons I'm at DeBakey. My mom (and dad) wanted me to get away from my "trashy friends". They hated all my friends haha. I mean...well...we were sort of bad I guess...but anyways, I REALLY wanted to go to Carnegie, but my parents and brother really wanted me to go to DeBakey. And I suppose, coming here WAS partly my own decision, but I was really heavily influenced by them. Ever since I was like 6 I would hear all this stuff about DeBakey 'cause both my brothers went here (one is now doing his residency for rad onc in Cleveland and the other is in his third year at Baylor) so like they were always saying how I should go here. But this year when it was time to decide, my bestest friend ever, like seriously my twin from another mother, was going to Carnegie. And I know that isn't a good reason to chose a highschool but like its not like Carnegie was a bad school. It's a vanguard school, the highschool version of T. H. Rogers. I never even was pre- med (I'm still not) and so going to DeBakey, having to take extra science classes when I- to put it frankly- sucked at science and getting the extra work made no sense to me. But things happen, I got into this huge fight with my friend and like I guess...it made me realize somethings, like she was one of the main reasons I wanted to go to Carnegie in the first place, and if it weren't for her I would choose DeBakey, and even though we became friends again, and are now closer than ever, I chose DeBakey (obviously). Why? Because, my parents really wanted me to go here and it was a rather good school and it wasn't like I wouldn't know anyone here, alot of Roger's kids were going here too and DeBakey had one thing Carnegie didn't. It had an MSA (Muslim Student's Association) and I thought going to DeBakey would help me get "in touch with my roots" so the decision was made. I came here. :) I ended up going on a huge tangent here and not talking about pet peeves at all. Oh well, at least I wrote something.
