Rosemary and Difficult Algebra

I know, don't kill me, I haven't written in awhile!!
This post will be about Rosemary, the spice.
So today I was eating dinner, I was super hungry because our lunch hour is stupidly at 10:12, IN THE MORNING!! And so I hadn't eaten anything since then, and I was really hungry. I don't know if that like lately I have been eating really filling foods, but I get full like really fast. I had eaten one bowl of this stew stuff my mom made, and I was like NOT hungry anymore, but I dished myself out another bowl. And I noticed a particular taste. There's this thing in my dresser that makes your clothes smell good, and that's what the thing in my bowl tasted like that smells. And it didn't seem to fit any of the other tastes in the bowl, and I was dishing things out and saying "Hey, mom, what is this?" And I would take out parsley or an okra, or in weird cases a ball of unstirred corn starch. And she would tell me what it was. Finally I was like, "THERE IS THIS WEIRD TASTING THING IN MY BOWL THAT DOES NOT MATCH THE OTHER TASTES!! WHAT IS THIS??" And she said "Does it taste like old fashioned?" And in my head I was saying, what the . . . .? How can something taste old fahsioned?? But out loud I said "Yes! Kind of." And she said "It might be rosemary, it looks like this." And she pointed to something in the bowl that lookes like a little tiny pine needle. And then she handed me one from a spice jar thing, and I tasted it and I was like "Ugh, yeah, that's it." And then after that I couldn't decide if I liked it or not, I JUST decided I didn't, and my mouth still tastes like it.

Did you know our Algebra teacher, Mrs. Erspamer) gives us homework every night? So far, I have been doing pretty good, I have a 96 out of like 100, all together as my grade, so in other words, that's a pretty decent A. AND TOMORROW WE HAVE A TEST!!! I'm SSOOOOO FREAKED OUT!! Because normally my mom checks my papers, and I always get like a few wrong, and Mrs. Erspamer said this was the EASY stuff at the beginning! But wish me luck.

OHHHH WAIT!!! I have to tell you all about the CROSS COUNTRY meet!!!
I think it was like my best meet ever, even though it wasn't my best time, not even close. It was a 2 mile course like usual, and I got 20:26, so I shaved off more than a minute of my time from last time. Before it was like 21:56. So it was good. But the first mile was 9:38, and I was running, because I had a strategy, that I would run faster than normal and I could only have 25 walking steps, I only used 10. And look where it got me, a minute shaved off. Next time, run even FASTER and 10 walking steps and UNDER 20 minutes. You think I got this??
And guess what?? ISIS who is always first, came tied for first with this one girl on the Raider's team, and they were talking about how they hate having the reputation of being fast, and how everyone expects them to go fast and be like first. I was thinking in my head, like REALLY?? You are saying that to ME?? One of the slowest people on the team?? You want ME to feel sorry for YOU because your tired of going FAST?? Hey, well I'm tired of going slow! If I had a talent like yours I would NOT be complaining!!

So, yeah, I haven't showered yet from Cross Country, so I should probably go do that, I'm starting to grow mushrooms on my arms. Ewwww, not really, but bye.
