Anyhow, my primary excuse for being a shitty blogger recently is that I was on vacation in San Diego all last week and I spent most of October planning the trip. But now that that distraction is over... we can get back to: the 7th day of my relationship with Craig...
"What's more important to me: my life & future OR Craig? Craig!" Oh dear. My decision wasn't between not failing out of school OR dating Craig... or not becoming a teenage mother OR dating Craig... or not smoking crack OR dating Craig. I got two C's... and still had a B average! With two C's on math tests, how would I ever get into college?!? It's kind of cute that I thought my decision between grades and Craig was like life or death, when in the grand scheme of things, who really CARES?
Lying to my Mom (err withholding the facts) and choosing Craig over studying has not come back to haunt me. There has never been a day since where I was like, "Now, damn. If only I had hung up with Craig in 1996 and solved that polynomial equation, I would have gotten that raise I wanted."
Here's a list* of 10 important events from 1996 that I could have cared more about instead of worrying about Craig versus Homework...
* Thank you wikipedia.
- The U.S. launches Operation Desert Strike against Iraq.
- Serious fighting breaks out between Russian soldiers and rebel fighters in Chechnya.
- The Centennial Olympic Park bombing at the 1996 Summer Olympics kills 1 and injures 111.
- Bill Clinton wins his second term in the U.S. presidential election.
- The O. J. Simpson civil trial begins in Santa Monica, California.
- Dolly the sheep, the first successfully cloned mammal, is born.
- Chess computer "Deep Blue" defeats world chess champion Garry Kasparov.
- 2Pac is killed.
- A gorilla saves a three-year-old boy who fell into its 20-foot-deep gorilla enclosure.
- Sri Lanka wins the Cricket World Cup against the tournament favorite Australia.

“November 7, 1996 Dear Yraid, Usually, Craig calls me cause I ask him to. Today, he called m & I didn’t even mention anything about the phone at school today! I got really bummed today at lunch cause Craig sat w/ his friends & Jessica & Kara (2 people who have gone out with him) said that meant he didn’t like me. Imagine that! I believed them! Then Lisa & Jessie started telling me how I act differently around Craig. They told me I act like I’m really cool & sophisticated. Yeah right! When I’m around Craig, I usually acted weirder than I do around my normal friends. I HATE LISA! SHE’S A BITCH! BITCH! I had Mat for Content Lit today (Content Lit is after lunch). Mrs. Chandler passed our tests, graded. I got 2 C’s! That is really bad for me! I knew that if I show Mom she’ll ground me & apparently so did Craig. He told me, “Don’t show them to your Mom cause then you won’t be able to go to the movies & that won’t be good.” I want to show Mom, but I want to go to the movies! What’s more important to me: my life & future or Craig? Craig! Is that the right answer? I don’t’ know! I wish there was a handbook on how to live life! I think I’ll pretend I got the test next Monday so then I can go to the movies & Mom can still ground me – just 4 days later. I also got a C in Social Studies. I’m definitely not showing that to Mom because it doesn’t matter because for 1st quarter I have a 98.5 in Social Studies. Here are my 1st quarters: LA:A SCI:A 98.8% MATH:probably B SS:A 98.5%. Craig gave me his school picture today, I gave him mine. I put his in a little heart picture frame by my bed. When I was on the phone w/ Craig, I’m pretty sure he was looking at my picture! Why? Because he said, “You know, you’re wearing all black in your school picture?” About 2 minutes later he said, “You know if you hold a picture a certain way it reflects light?” I’m very sure he likes me, I just hope I could raise my Math grade! -Krista I LOVE CRAIG! DUH!”
