Hey..
I'm writing this as I want to cry. The guys in my class are pure bitches. We had to solve a real life math problems from one of the other teachers about a field hockey tournament, that I am participating in next weekend. We had to figure out how long it would take for 5 pools of 5 teams and 6 pools of 5 teams to play in a round robin tournament.
My mind thinks differently than theirs, so I started writing out a schedule of the teams for each field (there are 3) as 1a v 1b, 2a v 2b, 3a v 3b, etc. They had solved it quicker than I had obviously. Once they solved it, they were like, "It's 10 hours. It's 10 hours." I was, "shut up bitches."
The teacher started the class when I was almost finished (I take my math classes online so it didn't effect me), and one really pompous kid said, "Kathryn it's 10 hours, you don't have to solve it" and me being thoroughly annoyed by then, stood up slowly, erased my work of the board and sat down forcefully the eraser and marker. I then walked over to my stuff, took out my laptop and headphones, and sat far away from them. He said, "chill dude," and I wanted to flip him off and punch him in the face right there, but sadly I couldn't. Perks of being at a small Catholic school huh? Looks like this is my first entry in this, oh well. Gotta start somewhere though.
But on a brighter note, I'm most likely going to Tidewater Comic Con this weekend! My friend and I are going to cosplay as members of Survey Corps from Shingeki no Kyojin(Attack on Titan) and enter in the cosplay contest! I'm super excited!
I gotta go now,
so much for being a geek.

Nothing much has happened lately.. except I went to Comic Con yesterday! My friend and I cosplayed as members of the Scout Regiment from Attack on Titan. We received a lot of compliments from people. It was amazing! There was this Reaper (hero from Overwatch) who was wearing a sparkly party hat and was blasting music from a speaker at his waist. He danced around everywhere, and my friend was sorta stalking him. We were trying to get a video/picture for one of out other friends who were coming later. It was funny as we were trying to find him! We managed to get a photo and video of him, and send it to her.
While we were there, I got this awesome fan art of Titan-Eren, Armin, Mikasa, and Levi(characters from Attack on Titan). It's going to be hung on my wall later.
I have 16 days left of school! Finally, I will be done with my hellhole of a school, before heading off to wonderful high school. Joyous.
I'm going to Costa Rica this summer! I'm so excited. We'll be there for the ten days before the 4th of July. I'm also going to a few field hockey camps, and one dance intensive at my studio. I can't wait!
Gotta go.
Geek out peeps!

Hey again..
I have a week left of school! I'm extremely excited! I'm counting down the single days I have left. Let's see, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday is a field trip, Monday is field day, Tuesday is our Shakespeare play and talent show and Wednesday I'm out of school! So I have a week left.. YAY!
But on the other hand, my friend Emma, her mother died last week from cancer and her funeral is Thursday. I'm missing school that day to spend it with her instead.
I leave for my awesome vacation to Costa Rica in a month.. And I start high school in three. Eh. Any tips? Besides doing my work the day it is assigned, kinda do that already for middle school.
But hey! You guys are amazing! Thanks for all of you're fabulous support!

Where in the world is Katt today?
Right now, I am in Atlanta, GA in a international terminal waiting to board a plane going to Costa Rica. I'm going to be there for 10 days! So I won't be as active.. oh well! I'll definitely tell you guys all about it when I get back!
What has happened since I last wrote? Let's see.. I finished school and 8th grade at my horrible school, I played close to 20 hours of Sims4 and I finished my public library's summer reading program within 3 days after it started. I was also in Charlottesville for 4 days for a UVA camp. It was very hilly, I hated it.
What's been up with you guys?
I'll be going to the tropics soon!

Hey guys!
I'm back in my cozy little beach town.
Costa Rica was great! I wish it was just as green as it was there here in my state. Did I just do an unintentional rhyme? I guess so.
I wish I could go back.. We did a lot of fun things. We went kayaking and swimming near a volcano, and went to natural hot springs. We went horse back riding in the middle of a thunderstorm (quite an adventure!) and zip lining while was raining.white water rafting was by far my favorite. We stopped half way through the path and ate fresh pineapple and watermelon. Let me just say, nothing will taste that good back in the states. We also went to a chocolate tour, it was delicious! And a coffee tour too, but I didn't enjoy it as much. I mean, it was interesting, but I'm not a big fan of coffee.
Bus rides, were, um, great. Lol. Not really. For the first few days, we had at least one person puke a day, mostly from motion sickness. But one girl threw up (3 times!) from dehydration and we all got a lecture on it
Our tour guide was fantastic. He had his first Girl Scout cookies with us (we brought them, as we were all Girl Scouts), and he ate two whole boxes in one day! His laugh was hilarious too! It was like one of those laughs that you could spell out (ha ha ha ha). He was much better than my last trip tour guide for sure.
And I met eight elaborate people. All weirdos like yours truly! But they're amazing folks. In fact, I'm seeing all but one of them tomorrow. I'll try to write some more during this lovely summer, but I have National Club Cup in a week for field hockey, and I'll be busy every day.
Write more later.
Your favorite geek,
Katt

HEY GUYS!
It's Katt!
I'm in school again! *pause for dramatic sigh*
uuuuuuugggggGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Well, now I am in high school. It's better than my old school for sure. Definitely less boring for sure.
I love my theology teacher. She's awesome and funny. I also like my Algebra 2 teacher as well.. No terrible loads of homework yet, which is good.
I have field hockey after school every day, 4-6, and school ends at 3.. I'll be doing homework then. Our first game in on September 7th against one the powerhouses for the public schools in my area...... And it's the JV too. I'll do fine, I know a couple of people on the team.
If you have any suggestions for high school (minus the fact to do your homework when it's assigned, I've already figured it out :D).
Thanks y'all!
Shall write later,

"Are you okay?"
No.
I am not okay. Not all the time at least. I don't know how my freshman year that starts today will go. I'm worried I'll fail all my classes, that I'll let in all the goals. I worry about my mother staying alive. No, she's not dying, but I'm still worried nonetheless. What is she gets into a car accident on the way home from work, and I'll never see her, touch her, or hear her voice again? What if she dies and the last thing we did was fight? I can't take it. That's what my mind thinks about when I try to sleep. When will I die? When will my friends die? I can't take it.
On top of all that, there are times I don't, no, I can't get up and do something. All I can do is lay in bed and question why we are here on Earth. I worry that people judge me constantly for my high pitched voice, my shortness, my lack of using makeup, my hairy legs when I'm too lazy to shave, my weight, my interest in computers and writing, my geeky interests, my computer wallpaper, my choice of activities after school, the fact I play video games regularly, and the list could go on with my insecurities, but I'm stopping it here. The point is, I worry. I worry about everything. I'm never satisfied with my work, nor is my father. I'm always thinking somebody is going to out do me, make theirs better than mine. I can't stop thinking about that , especially when there are school projects, and we work by ourselves. Or if it's a group project, I'm worried that people will see me as a bossy leader or someone who doesn't pull their share, which I do. I normally do most of a group project, which makes me upset.
No, I'm not okay. I'm almost never okay. People are saying that I should talk more, when in reality, I'm afraid to talk to most people because I'm afraid they will judge me. Then I write, and I'm getting it all out. Whenever I'm down, I write. But I worry people won't like my writing, or that nobody will look at it. I can't take that. I compare myself to others endlessly. Other girls, other goalies, other dancers, other writes, etcetera. I need to stop, but I'm not okay. I can't stop.
Then there's guys. When you like someone, and can't bring yourself to tell them, so you tell you friends instead. Once you do, they're always asking about him or mentioning him. It's bad enough you only see him in one class, barely know him, and he's a grade above you. One of your friends is on a sports team with him and gets his number for you. You text him the same day you get it. One of friends thinks he knows that you like him. Now they're trying to set you up, which you're okay with, but still afraid. Still worrying. It always leads back to worrying.
On top of all that, you're barely keeping your head above the water. You got your first C on a report card after being a straight A student for the past who knows how many years. Teachers seem to like you, but you're not sure about the students. Some talk to you, but you have to start all the conversations.
So if someone asks me if I am ok, I'll reply with a yes.
But deep inside, I will want to say no.

Hey guys.
It's been a while. What's happened so far?
I went to see Thor: Ragnarok the Saturday before it came out. The CGI and special effects were awsome! And the movie itself was too. The plot and storyline had me on the edge of my seat (literally).
Also, I went to state with my high school varsity field hockey team. We lost in the first game to the #2 ranked team in the nation. We were defeated 10-0. Nor did I play, as I was the backup and the starting goalie was a senior. Oh well, it'll be mine next year.
But the worst, or a somewhat good, thing that happened to me is more personal. I've liked this guy in one of my classes for a couple months now, and finally got the courage to tell him. I did so via text, and I got rejected (but he was really sweet about it "I'm really sorry..."). On the bright side, I can get over him and focus on life more steadily.
Comment if you wish
Write to ya later Prosers,
Geek out!

Hey there Prosers,
Another year has come and gone... and it's been pretty eventful.
Mid-terms are around the corner and I'm procrastinating instead of studying. I've been busy, busy, and busy.
I guess I'll give a small recap of the year.
January last year, I was a 2nd-year u14 goalie for club field hockey, straight-A student, a passionate dancer, and a 9th year Girl Scout.
February came, and so did my birthday. Indoor field hockey was every weekend and playing Overwatch in my free time is what I did.
March was eventful, as I went to the National Indoor Tournament with another club team from the area, as they needed a goalie. We went 2-3 for the tournament, but that was okay.
April showers brought outdoor field hockey as I participated in Futures, a USA National Field Hockey pipeline program.
May brought me to my first finals, though I only took 2.
The beginning of June brought the end of school, and the last day at the school I had been at since kindergarten. At the end of June, I went to Costa Rica for 10 days with the Girl Scouts. That was fun!
July brought field hockey camps and National Club Championships. I had a penalty stroke (that I stopped), and I made a game-winning save at the end of our last game. We ended up getting 5th for the tournament and ranked 3rd in the nation and 1st for the region and state. My club overall though is 1st in the nation, region, and state!
August brought the beginning of high school, and many new friends and classes.
September brought school hockey and stress. Cute guys were mixed in there sometime.
October came and I saw some old/close friends again.
In November brought my last u14 outdoor tournament and the beginning of indoor field hockey once more.
And in December, this month we're about to finish, I played my final u14 playday ever, joined and quit the indoor track team, cowered in fear from stress from school, and was accepted as the only freshman (I believe so at least) to my school's leadership seminar in the second semester.
I've decided to finish this uneventful book for now. It has escaped my mind so many times I'm going to try to keep a paper version next year. Perhaps at the end of 2018 I will post it, a day equals a chapter. I'll think about it.
And I have exciting news! I'm starting to work on a novella (maybe a novel.. who knows?), and my post "Sadness of Lost" is a draft of the first chapter (though it's chapter title is different right now). The basic summary is a few different short stories of different pov's and the people all end up in this strange realm, and I kinda gets crazy from that point on. I don't know how long it will take me (it's gonna be a while), but I might post what I have done soon. Who knows what the future will bring?
Have a great 2018 Prosers!
