Slightly Pissed Right Now. Just SLIGHTLY. -.-
So anyways, a bit of background info. Chinese school is pretty much a joke. Meaning, we have really loose rules for test-taking: you can't have your book out, you can't be discussing things loudly, and you can't communicate with people at different "table groups" at all. But among your own table people, it's fair game. Sure, the teacher says not to do it, but she really doesn't care. (And yes, some of you are probably thinking, 'OMG, Erica is cheating!' I guess if you put it in a technical sense, then yeah. Yeah, I'm cheating.)
So last week, we had a quiz on vocab and stuff, and this one girl at my table didn't know most of the crap. Heck, she only got like, 3 problems out of two whole pages. So Josephine (one of my besties! =D) and I decided to be nice and let her pretty much copy our whole test. She got an A, maybe even a 100%.
Now today, we had another quiz. Josephine and I were way too busy with crap at regular school to study, but the girl we helped last week studied. We asked her for help before this quiz, she said okay. On like, the fourth problem, Josephine and I ask her for help. What does she do? She glares at us, and COVERS HER PAPER. It wasn't even subtle. She moves her arm until it's right along the edge of her paper, and slams her hand on the answers. I mean, seriously? It's not like we can see the paper from here anyways, we were just asking. We f*cking gave you all the answers to last week's test too, and you won't help us this week???
And even better? Right before we turn in the quiz/test, she OPENS HER BOOK and copies a phrase that she didn't get. No one, and I mean NO ONE, not even if we're desperate and totally going to fail (like Josephine and me today) has ever done that before. None of us hav ever stooped that low. And come on, she was only missing one stupid phrase. Our hypothesis? She's sick of always having us get better grades than her. Because, seriously, we DO get better grades; I'm not bragging or anything, it's a fact. Plus, if she's the type of person to do this, we're thinking she really would mind bringing us down a notch.
And more unbelievable-ness? What does she do after the test? She says, "Guys, cheating is bad." Uhm. Yeah. Sure, Ms. I-Copied-All-Your-Answers-Last-Week-And-Opened-The-Book-During-The-Test-Today. Whatever you say. And then she acts all innocent and like she hasn't done anything wrong or retarded at all. AND she makes fun of us for not studying. Like, what the hell?
So I'm totally pissed right now. We helped you fill in the whole test last week, when we were sitting across the freaking table from you, and you won't help us with ANYTHING this week, when we're pretty much right next to you. It's so retarded. I mean, if you didn't need our help, then sure, whatever, we don't expect you to help us if you didn't need our help. Even if you said you didn't want to help us before the test, then fine. But no, you tell us that you'll help, then you cover your answers when we ask for it. -.-
Josephine and I have decided to try and study like hell for the next quiz (half-and-half, so we can help each other), so if the girl asks us for help, we can oh-so-subtly glare at her, cover our papers, and slam our hands over our answers.

Wayne's Leaving!!! =(
He's actually leaving. Like, for real. Permanently. And it's not like he's just moving to a different city or anything; he's moving to TAIWAN. As in, that island off the coast of China which is about 13 hours away from here BY PLANE. And sure, I've only known him for less than a year, but he's already one of my best friends, and I'm going to miss him sooooo much!
I won't see him again for at least a year, and even then, it might not happen. The closest time that I'm almost positive I'll see him again is in three years, when I go back before college. But that's in three whole years...
I'm going to go to Chinese school this Friday, all happy, then I'll expect Wayne to come in during brunch to push me around in a rolling chair into the 12th grade classroom (=P) but then I'll remember. He's gone. And he's not coming back. Not for a while, at least.
He's not gone yet, but last night was the last time I'll see him for a while. We went to Hacienda, not for a movie or anything (nothing good was playing), so we just wandered around and talked. He stole my ice cream (-.-) and I punched him because he wouldn't let me sit down. =P Yeah, same old, same old. Not much was different; we just talked about him moving and about the "good old times" (*cough**cough*) when he liked me. But it wasn't like, "OMG, you're leaving!!! *hugs* *sob*"
I guess the truth hasn't totally sunk in yet. I still can't believe he's moving... I guess it won't sink in until he's actually... gone.
But that was the last time I'd actually talk to him in person, and punch him for putting his arm around me... I guess a goodbye hug wasn't bad. But I'll miss him so freaking much...
Wayne, come back and visit! Don't forget me! If you do, I'll kill you in three years!
You're cute in a stupid kind of way. ;)
Random Stuff From the Last Few Weeks...
So yeah, I had lots of problems last week, most of which I will explain in great detail. =P Family problems, school problems, friend problems. Yeah, I'm just messed up in general.
Well, non-depressing things first, at one of the Saturday practices (I forget which), there was this guys who had a motorized... BICYCLE. I was like, whoaaaa. XD it was pretty awesome, but really stupid at the same time. I mean, seriously? Who takes the time to attach a motor to a bike???
The pancake breakfast/car wash was pretty damn fun today. =P I wanted to cook!!! =( I got to wash cars instead, which wasn't bad. But still! I wanted to cook pancakes and be like, *flip flip* Here! But I'd probably poison the people, so I guess it's a good thing that I didn't cook them.
Practice today wasn't that bad. We learned pretty much all of the closer and reviewed work (which was REALLY bad on Wednesday) and did visual basics, which were torture after not having done them since band camp... We did dropspins continuously for like 100 counts, and my flag kept getting tangled up. Thank God Ashlee told us to stop after the first (disastrous) rep... It was pretty fun today though. Not a bad rehearsal at all.

Back to my problems...
So my parents are sort of arguing right now. I'm not going into detail, but I'll just say that it's making life miserable.
*****
I am so screwed for school this year... My schedule is slowly murdering me... Freaking 4 weighted classes (technically 5, since Breton uses a weighted scale for chemistry, but that's a hella easy class and it's not a 5 point one), and my totally jam-packed after-school crap right now... I already have 2 B's, and I'm positive I'd have more if all my teachers updated the grades. -.-
I'm don't know what I'm going to do next year... I really think I'm killing myself like this...

Friend problems? I'll get to that... eventually.

I'm So Hot!!!
Haha, it's my ultimate cheer-up song. I love the beat and stuff. "Tell Me" gets pretty close too, but I like this one better just for the mere fact that it's way more fun to sing along to (even if I only know the English parts. XD). I swear Robyn and I need to make a "WonderGirls" group, and epic fail at singing/dancing to their songs. it would be so freaking fun!!! "Oh no, please leave me alone! All the boys be loving me, girls be hating me, they will never stop, 'cuz they know I'm so hot hot!"
*****
On another hand, I want to make a Harry Potter skit group too, but I don't think that's ever going to happen. XD *sighs* But you'll join it right? Right?!?! NO?!?!?! CRUCIO!!! >=(

I'm Such a Klutz! Haha. XD
So anyways, before getting to my (not-so) awesome klutziness, I would just like to bring up that I do not have practice Saturday OR Monday, and I don't have Kumon on Friday either. HELL YEAHHHHHH!!!! W00T W00T!!! This will probably never happen in my life ever again. I'm so happy!!! I'm probably not even going to do anything (like going to the movies, shopping, whatever), but I DON'T NEED TO MARCH AROUND AND HIT MYSELF WITH MY RIFLE!!! YAY! I'm so ridiculously happy over this, it's rather sad. But, this means I have my whole weekend to myself! AND I have an ice cream social a hour before Chinese school!!! Yay!
*****
So anyways, Mike (loser. =P) dared me to dress up all preppy and crap (dress, necklace, high heels, all that. Except makeup, because I would NEVER do that. Unless it's a formal/semi-formal event) and I was slightly late getting out of my house today, so I went running down my front door path and TOTALLY just fell right as I got to the driveway. It actually hurt. Then I almost started cracking up before I realized that Ross was still waiting for me, and then I was like, "Aw crap, he's probably going to come out..." And yeah, that's what he did. XD Then he kept freaking about how I was bleeding (scraped elbows/knee), but it really didn't hurt that much. I still didn't look at it though, 'cuz it's not like I could do anything about it in the car anyways. But he was freaking out SO MUCH, and when I got to the bathroom to clean myself up, I was half-expecting my elbow to be like, totally red. But it was just a small scratch, and there wasn't even that much blood, so I seriously have no idea why he was so freaked out about it. o.o But yeah, so that was kind of interesting. XD But then after school Ross was like, "Now I feel guilty," and I was like, "Wtf? It's not like you pushed/tripped me..." And he kept telling me to watch where I'm going instead of rambling and jumping around and being all hyper. XD But anyways, it was pretty funny, I can't believe I did that. =P Yours truly has absolutely no common sense.
Note to self: Do not go running around in high heels if you can barely walk in them.
But I dared Mike to go to school dressed as a super-nerd (or the stereotype of one, at least), and he actually did the whole nine yards. Suspenders, pocket protector, big round glasses, really high socks. It was pretty damn funny. XP

Mock Trial was just going over witness statements and stuff; my "audition" is an expert witness... Which basically means I need to memorize TWO witness statements... Damn... =( I need to do that over the weekend...
Trig was boring; we took notes and learned that you can have a negative angle and an angle more than 360 degrees. Cool. XD We got lots of homework, but it's not due for ONE WHOLE WEEK! Yay!
English was retarded. We talked about a story and watched part of a "magical realism" (gasp!) movie. Fun. *note the heavy sarcasm*
Euro was okay; we took another quiz and I missed one again. Agh. I have a 94% in the class though, so whatever. Lambert's pretty chill with the quiz answers though; as long as it makes sense, he doesn't really even care if it's the right one. XD
Okies, now I'm going to bed! Before midnight! For once in my life! Yay! XP
