The Interesting Parts of This Post Start in The Middle... (You can ignore my rant about the essay contest!)

So, I should actually be in my PE class right now, but thanks to a bizare twist in my hectic month from hell, I just found out that I won a Veteren's Day essay contest that my school was holding, and I get dismissed from this period to reherse for reading it in front of a whole assembly. Wait-- A WHOLE ASSEMBLY?? AHHHHHHH!!!! Okay, so I am totally going to choke, but at least I get some time to work on my blog. And I get a gift certificate to the mall, so it's all good.
The thing is, though, I entered the contest for kicks and giggles. I actually thought that my essay sucked big time, but apparently I was wrong. Funny how those things work isn't it?
Considering the way I woke up this morning, totally freaking out about the three tests I had to take, the homework I had to make up from missing yesterday for an all day meeting, and trying to explain why I forgot to tell the leader my community service project why I was totally AWOL yesterday, I think that God definetley heard my prayer. Sorry, for those of you who don't believe in God, but after today, I am totally re-amped in my faith. He totally comforted me when I thought that my day was going to be the worst I have ever had the mispleasure to wake up to.
And now, I am going to stop talking about that, and talk a bit about my actual blog. Only ten people voted in my pole? And Edward won (surprise, surprise), taking it by storm with fifty percent of the vote. I think that Jacob came in second with thirty, and David came in third with twenty. And absolutely no one voted for poor Kartik? Come on, people! I love him!
Anyway, I am totally starved for good reading right now. I just can't find any good books to get in to. However, I have found the WORST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!!! It is called Eyes of War by Janna Nickerson. Trust me, people, don't waste your valuable literature minds on this book. I hate talking bad about this book, because I have met the author and she is really nice and she lives only like twenty minutes away from me, but this book is seriously bad!! She wrote it for her senior project, and then was shocked when no real publishers would publish it, so she self-published it. She shouldn't even have been allowed to do that!!! Does anyone realize how many trees were killed to print that crappy book? No! She doesn't know how to write. I was writing on the same level that she is when I was in the seventh grade. Seriousl, I think that she robbed one of my journals and used my style of writing to write this nove. It is terrible!
Anyway, I am reading a sort-of-good book right now. It's called Hope Rising, and it is really sad, mostly because it is 100% true. I don't want to give away what it is about, but I recomend not reading it unless you are prepared to shed a lot of tears.
Anyway, I think that I am going to start a new poll, so tell your friends to vote!!!!
