I've been just sitting on my ass, eating leftover pizza, and playing video games the past two days, and boy do I feel great!
Honestly between not being able to sleep too well and worrying about what my parents are gonna say when they get home, I feel like I've been hit by a truck.
Literally. no, figuratively. That's the right word, right?
Either way, I don't really think I'll be going outside much. After those creeps opened Tara's locker I've been getting weird vibes. I haven't even finished her stupid plagerized manuscript and I'm still feeling it. It's like they were... desperate. and the weird part is nobody stopped it.
I don't like this. I don't like this one bit.
And I don't like being in the house alone.

Tip #17: What the hell?
So what the shit is this supposed to be?
Some kinda... uh, urban fantasy (that's a genre, right? I can't remember too well :I...)
Or a fairytale?
Either way, Tara's gonna get hit hard for plagerizing when she finally comes back. There's tons of this stuff, and I don't think it's cool to use one guys' idea, not for this assignment. And really, a "man with no face"? Is that supposed to be scary?
This was a dumb idea. Tara just didn't want to get caught. Just like everyone else in the class. Jeeze, I know the project was hard, but there's no reason for everyone to rip off some stupid guy on the internet.
It wasn't even that well written. She scribbled all over it. Like she couldn't decide which part to steal next.
I haven't even bothered going to school. What's the point lately? My parents are on vacation, and I didn't even tell them about what's going on. Not like they could do anything, right? Not like I can do anything, right?

Tip #15: ...
Someone cracked open tara's locker on friday. It was chaos. Papers flew everywhere. Sketches They looked like they came from a crazy person. some have red stuff on them and I'm hoping it was strawberry jam so bad but
I remember as a pack of her sketching pencils fell to the ground. Charcoal. Tara liked (likes!) to sketch. But she always told me you had to take good care of your tools. Those pencils were used down to the nub. Like she couldn't draw fast enough.
I grabbed something while everyone was distracted. A thick stack of papers, typed in courier, fell onto the ground and got stepped on a few times so I grabbed it but then I realized what it was
it was her manuscript
the manuscript, the one she got mad at me for talking about
I'm scared to read it and I know i should probably hand it over to the people in charge of whats wrong but its not like they have any leads
I want to know what's going on.

Tip #14: I just realized the last post was unlucky...
I still can't sleep. No word on Tara. They're starting to think that other kids that have been away don't just have the flu. Our teacher still isn't back yet.
Shit. shit. shit.

Tip #13: Hope for the best
Tara has gone missing.
Nobody's saying anything.
Mr. Reading still isn't back yet.
Everyone looks scared.

Tip #12: On knowing your limits
I'm going to talk things over with Mr. Reading when he gets back.
I'd rather write poems, or a story, or.... anything. anything but this. Maybe I have no talent, but this was a stupid idea.

Tip #11: On willpower
I'm kinda getting tired of this blog, I gotta be honest. Nobody's reading it, I'm not getting marks for it, and I don't know what to talk about! D: It's a dilema if I've ever seen one, but I gotta stay strong!
Everyone else is keeping their projects super close to their chests. Laaaame. Though honestly I'm not sure if I'd want to read them again... they sure were scary!
I don't have talent like that, so I'm stuck doing stuff like this.

Tip #10: On Substitutes
Substitute teachers are something we all have to deal with. Whether you're in grade school or Senior year, you're gonna have a teacher away sometime. But what are you supposed to do in the meantime? Here's some tips to get through the boredom!
Tip one: Do the work that the substitute tells you to do. you'll just have to catch up later if you don't, and it's usually pretty easy anyways!
Two: Ask your friends for help! I've found that Subs aren't too useful themselves, but usually there's one or two smart people in class that can help you out if you need it.
Three: don't be a jerk! you don't want to face your teacher's wrath when they finally get back, and really, is it so hard to be a decent human being? The Sub WILL leave a note for your teacher to read later, and you really don't want to deal with that, so just behave!
Four: DON'T. SKIP. Your teacher can tell, and the period tends to go by quick once you get the work done. what's the point of getting yourself in maybe trouble? there isn't one!!
Alrighty, that's it for today. I hope Mr. Reading's back soon!

Tip #9: Y'gotta have faith!
Well, seems things are a bit more back to normal! Maybe all that apologizing really did make a difference!!! The substitute won't let me work on my blog in class though so I'm finding it hard to fit in time to work on it...
Anyways, right. The tip of the day is if you get in a fight with your friends, try not to make a complete idiot out of yourself and make it worse!!
Seriously, that's it for today.

Tip #8: Show initiative!
Just because everyone else is slacking because Mr. Reading has been away doesn't mean I'm going to! So, todays tip is about showing initiative, which is what I'm totally doing.
One: Don't slack off! Just because your teacher is away doesn't mean you shouldn't do what you're supposed to. Keep on your schedules, and keep working!
Two: Don't mind people who don't want to socialize. REally, it doesn't really matter int he end and stuff. It's not like they're talking to anyone else. It's weird actually, nobody's been really talking to anyone at all lately. I'm sure it's all just test stress and stuff!
Three: Don't slack- I've already did this one
uh
I guess that's all I have to say on the matter for now I guess

Tip #7: On not being an ass
Tara, I'm really sorry. Actually, everyone, I'm sorry! I didn't really realize all of you being bitten by the same story bug (?!?) wasn't something I was supposed to talk about. I feel really bad, and I didn't really think it was a thing about invading everyone's privacy, but now I feel like a stupid idiot for messing up so bad.
So the tip of the day?
One: If you make a mistake, own up to it. Apologize, and don't make excuses. I'm not too good at this, but I'll try: Tara, i'm sorry I talked about your creepy story thing on the internet where everyone could see. Nobody else is too mad but you are and you're my friend. I don't want to make anyone feel bad I swear! :c
Two: Respect people's boundaries. Some people are going to be ok with certain things. some people aren't. You gotta respect the people who aren't.
Three: For fuck's sake I'm sorry ok?!?!? Christ on a bike

Tip #6: What's ok and what isn't
Okay I hope nobody minds if I do something a little different today
everyone's stories for this project were super fucking weird and like they all had the same thing
I hate hate hate HATE horror and everyone seemed really confused?!??
I didn't really have to write an entry today but I'm kinda freaked so I figured I'm not hurting nobody right?
... right??

Tip #5: Keep cool
Who else is starting to sweat the small stuff? Hey guys, it's me, Terry, your favourite tip dispenser, with another tip for today!
Just a quick point; I'm not going to be making these so long, since Mr. Reading said he'd cut me a break since I've been so good about getting things done! Now I'm obviously heartbroken (READ: ecstatic!) about this but we all got to make sacrifices for the greater good or whatever.
Now, it's that time of year that the ISU's and the tests and other stuff really starts to add up! If you're starting to feel the heat, here's a few things to help you get through it.
One: give yourself time to relax! We all know hard work is super important, but overworking yourself never got anyone anywhere. Take a nice, long, shower, make sure to eat three square meals a day, and most of all, have a little fun once in a while.
Two: Make schedules! This tip is something I tend to suggest ALOT, but that's another story altogether. Schedules make sure that you get everything done, and done well.
Three: Don't worry too much. I've psyched myself out when it comes to tests so many times that you wouldn't believe it! Be confident in your study skills.
And lastly, Four: Leave plenty of time. Procrastinating is never, ever a good idea. Like, ever! make sure you're careful about sticking to your schedules and never leaving anything to the last minute.
Hope that helped you out, and thanks for reading, Mr. Reading! ;P
