Damn. My Face Hurts.

Yup. Basically, in PE (yesterday), we were playing basketball, and I managed to steal the ball from this one guy, and then John Kraska (who probably has a foot over me in height), somehow headbutted me right in the face. Really hard. As in he was clutching his head too, and seeing as skulls are really hard... So yeah. I cut my lip on my braces, and it started bleeding A LOT, even though it was a tiny cut, and now my right cheek is sort of swollen. You can't tell though, but it feels all weird and thick, and it still really hurts. XD I couldn't talk right for most of the day though, because the cut would keep rubbing against my braces, and it wasn't very pleasant. Oh yeah, one more key point. John is on my team.

History was okay. We just reviewed the Mock Trial, and watched the rest of "Seven Years in Tibet," which was a really good movie.

I really failed the essay potion of the myth test. DX Which is going to bring down my my English grade A TON. Oh well, there goes my A+... I was actually really proud of that though, since an A+ in English is 100% and we don't get extra credit. *sighs*. Oh well, whatever. Wheee!!! Anyways, even if I got 100% on the essay, my "Antigone" quiz would have brought it down. I think I failed that. XD
Edit: GODDAMN, I HAVE A 99%. Sooooooo close!!! But, then again, she hasn't counted the "Antigone" test yet.

Lunch was fun. I got more piggyback rides! Haha. I couldn't eat most of my lunch though (my cut lip), so I just ate a ton of strawberries. =P And basically, I told Robyn to get lower, so I could get on for a piggyback ride, so she ran around teling people that I wanted to "get on her." No idea what she meant, but apparently it was funny? o.o

The test in bio was easy; Mr. Pence seriously needs to stop giving out extra credit on all of his tests, haha. But whatever, it helps me, so I won't complain. But seriously? I got a 130% on that test (I think the maximum was 132%, and that's going to bug me because I want to know which problem I missed. XD. But he said it was 134%; then again, his math skills aren't very good. I'll elaborate later). So I think his extra credit is pretty much just worthless now. XD I swear, I don't even get why I do my homwork anymore. I could totally skip some assignments and still have an A+ in the class... Besides, I have over 100%, so even if I get full points on an assigment, it brings down my grade, which I find kind of funny. =P So back to Mr. Pence's bad math skills, he was like (talking about the extra test questions), "So, that's 12 points, plus 22 points, which is... 32 points." And we were all like, "Er..." So that was kind of funny. Then he was going over some questions on the test, and he kept insisting that the answer to a question was B, even though it was OBVIOUSLY A, so we just sort of gave up. Then after he dismissed us, Ying and I went up and talked to him, and he walked us through the problem very slowly, and was like, "So the answer is..." And we plug in, "A." And he goes, "*looks at A, looks at B, tells the class* Wait guys! The answer to that one question was A! Not B!" It was rather funny. XD

*****

We played more basketball and I scored a point! For the other team. XD I hate half-court basketball, because I always forget to bring it out (since my old PE class played it differently; I transferred to A period PE second semester). Like, with full court, you aren't aiming for the same basket, so I never have that issue. But whatever. They didn't count it. =P

We changed seats in math. -.- But otherwise, nothing really happened. No pop quiz. *gasp* I went to help Lisa with math, and I was done with the worksheet, so I brought the book, and Mrs. Turbeville got mad at me.
Turbeville: What are you doing out of your seat?
Me: Homework? And helping Lisa.
Turbeville: But she's working on test corrections.
Me: ... Uh... I can still help her?
Tommy: She's helping me!
Me (thinking): Psh, yeah right, like Tommy needs help. (saying) We work in a very efficient triangle. *points to Lisa, then Tommy, then myself, and back to Lisa*
It was kind of funny, but whatever.

I finished the basic hamster bath shape. I just have decorations left. I actually think it's really nice, it's shaped like an egg, and it's divided into two. I made a notch and cap to connect them, and I have a strip of clay to act as support. I sort of want to keep it for myself now... XD Oh well. Maybe I'll have time to make another one? If not, maybe I'll just steal it back when I get my own hamster. =P

French was boring. We're starting a book! *gasp* But it's made for elementary kids. XD

But... but... BUTT!

Haha, I'll explain that later. =P

Anyways, I epically FAILED in soccer today. I sorta kicked a ball that Alex was aiming for, because everyone was coming towards it, and I totally missed the goal. XD Then I was trying to steal the ball from someone, then Alex come over, sorta steals it, and boots it really hard towards me, whereon it BOUNCES off my shoe and rolls out of bounds. -.- Anyways, it was pretty bad. But whatever.

History was okay. We took the Mock Trial which, which I got a 28/30 on. Blech. I know I missed "change of venue," because I totally forgot "venue," so I put "change of location." Bahaha. I don't know what the other one was though. But it's really sad, because I was in Mock Trial and should therefore know this stuff...
We watched more of "Seven Years in Tibet," which is really interesting. I like it! =D

The plays in English were nice. I soooo should've brought my camera! Mehul had to wear this fluffy, girly princess tiara which said "Happy Birthday"' on it, because he was the king, and they needed a "crown." XD
Then we watched some old play thing, which was SOOOOOOOOO boring...

Okay, so now for the "butt" part. =P Basically, every time Robyn and I "argue," it goes like:
Robyn: "That's stupid."
Me: "You're stupid."
Her: "Your mom's stupid," or "Your butt."
So today, she was giving me piggybacks rides again (yay! I miss those. ;D), then when she put me down, I was talking about her watching "The SHINee World," and to clarify, I was like, "It's by SHINee." So she said, "Well, duh. Who else would it be by?" So I was like, "Well, just in case you thought it was 'shiny.' Like, shiny stuff." Then, she countered with, "Your face is shiny." So without thinking, I was like, "Your butt is shiny." Then I was like, "Wait. No." But by then we were cracking up sooo bad.
Then Robyn goes and tells Sean, "Erica's seen my butt!!!" So I'm like, laughing hella hard, then Robyn tells me to look at Sean, so I turn, and he has this totally awesome, "what the heck?" look on his face. So it was hecka awesome. =P

Bio was sort of fun. Basically, this student (Gallardo, sp?) was sucking up to Mr. Pence, so he actually gave him test bonus points. XD Then Phil (the TA), comes in, looks at Brandon Linkheart, and says in this really official voice, "Citizenship grade. Down." So Mr. Pence actually lowers it 5%. XD After that, it was boring. We reviewed more evolution/ecology. Then we took this practice STAR test that was pretty easy, so... Yeah. STAR testing next week... Blech.

Yearbooks Rock!!!

Haha, I love looking through old yearbooks! And my ID cards. ;) It's so funny to see what people wrote in your yearbook. Like Taehyun was like, "You get any smarter and I'll shoot you" in my yearbook, and Toby had his little "fail" straight line drawing spree. XD

Then I love looking at my sister's yearbooks too (high school ones). It's so awesome to see what comments she made and what people looked like. XD Hey Ramon, if you're reading this, your frosh ID picture is like ADORABLE. Bahaha. It's like, little kid cuteness!!!

*****

Well, today was joyful. I actually tried in PE, which was sad, since no one else did. Haha. I never scored though... I just stole the soccer ball and ran down the field. =P

LOL, I got my highest math test score so far, on a test that I was certain I failed. Wahahaha. XD

I started my sister's hamster bath thing, and I'm not sure if my design is going to work out, but I hope it does... We can start glazing too, so I think I'm going to glaze my little china set. XD Then I'll do my bust. But I have to finish my candle holder too, rofl.

French was boring. We did some book activities, a few speaking ones. I wish we played more games... Like Bluff-O-Mania! That stuff is fun!!!

I stole Ross' coin again. It was Australian today though. XD Not a quarter.

*****

Yesterday was pretty boring too. Didn't try in PE. Then, again we had our old teams ysterday, so...

We had Officer Ransom come in and talk about his Glock, which has 46 rounds, and taser, pepper spray, handcuffs (they're cool black ones too!), his three radios... Haha. It was awesome. I like that dude. ;)

English was iffy. We got our myth tests back (well, the objectives part), and I ended up with 100%, with my bonus buck (which is two points). W00t w00t!!! I think I failed the essay portion though... Oh well. Then we need to act out parts of "Antigone" tomorrow. I have this big huge long monologue thing, and I am going to be SO out of breath...

Bio was boring too. Tons of ecology review, vocab, etc. Mr. Pence rambled on about flying planes and forgot why he brought it up though, so that was rather amusing.

*****

I'm going ice skating Sunday! Yay! Courtney didn't want to go, so I invited Robyn, and she wants to go, so It's probably going to be me, her, Davy, Sam, and Wayne. We're going to trip all over the place, and all the little pro 5 year-old skaters are going to be like, "What's up with them?" It's going to be so fun though! =P

Bowling!!! (Fail)

Bahaha. Guess what my game total was? Like... 45. XD Or I don't know. I might have been a bit more. =P But anyways, it was somewhere around there.
Anyways, we (Davy, Sam, Chrison, Kevin, Sling, Jess, Jess' Canadian friend Ryan, and I) all went to Earl Anthony's Dublin bowl, and epically failed at bowling, except "Mr. I-don't-know-how-to-bowl" Davy, who got like, 4 strikes. He ended up with 107. Which is kind of sad, seeing as he pwned us all, and the game is out of 300. Haha. Anyways, bowling was fun, then we went to the "arcade" and shot up some people. Then I raced Davy in that car game, and epically failed at that too. 7th place!!! Hey, at least I wasn't last. =P It shows how much Spring Break has killed my brain though, because it took me like, a full minute to count how many people we had. XD

Then we went to GameStop and played games there. Bahaha. Wario is sooooooo stupid! Kirby rocks though. ;)

Afterwards, we went to Petsmart and looked at the fish, birds, and hamsters. OMG, there was this ADORABLE hamster there which didn't even bite me, and I soooooooo wanted to get it, but my parents wouldn't let me. -.- It was retarded. *tear* I loved that hamster...
And I scared Davy with a stuffed bunny (which he thought was real, roflmao), and those feather cat toys (which he is apparently afraid of because he doesn't like big, black, furry objects). It was rather funny. =P

Afterwards, we just hung out in front of Panera Bread, mooched off Jimmy (at least, I did), and talked.

But anyways, the day was hella fun! Now I have to go plan ice skating... ;)

Old Memories...

I was going through my sister's old senior yearbook, and it was nice to see all the picture and stuff, but then I came to the part where they have all the seniors write down what they'll be doing, where they'll be, etc. in 10 years. Basically, my sister said, "I am going to be happily married to Ramon Qiu," and Ramon said, "I am going to be married to Jessica Tsai," which was really sad, because that's probably never going to happen now. I even remember teasing her because Ramon didn't include the "happily." It was kind of funny though, seeing as another one of Jess' friends wrote that he was going to be married to her as a joke. XD Then this girl named Carmen wrote, "I will be laughing if Jessica Tsai and Ramon Qiu get married," so it was kinda interesting.
But then it reminded me, maybe I just like Ramon the best because he's the one I've known longest and stuff. Which made me think, I'm probably not going to get to know any of Jess' boyfriends well until she actually marries one. Because, after college, she's probably going to move out somewhere, and then I'll be in college, so we're probably never going to be "home" at the same time.

So that's kind of depressing, because it makes me wish I spent more time with her when we were little. Like, now, she's never going to want to play Pokemon again, never going to want to take silly pictures with Fruit Rollups, never going to want to make stupid imitations of Lord of the Rings...
It's kind of sad to think that we're probably never going to hang out together much anymore...

Break Boredom. Bowling? Ehhh...

Anyways, Davy and I made those bowling plans, but they sort of fell apart. Davy, John (Davy's friend), and Sam all don't have rides and as I'm giving a ride to Jimmy, I can't take all of them. Then apparently Sam needs to take care of his little brother, so yeah.
Now we're probably going to go bowling Sunday. XD Never before in my life has making plans been so hard. But everyone can go Sunday, I think, so...

Anyways, break's been hella boring, so yeah. Not much to talk about, but just to show Wayne how to write a blog post even when not much is going on, I am going to ramble for a while about random stuff.

So Yuna finished watching Swan Princess, which technically isn't a drama, but it reminded me, WHY THE HELL AM I NOT WATCHING DRAMAS OVER SPRING BREAK?!?!! Haha. I never did finish that one drama... *sighs* I have too much crap going on in my life, so I'll start a drama, never finish it, start another one, not finish that... I think I'm just going to start one and stick with it.
By the way, I still want my drama. Which, technically, has sorta started. But that wasn't exactly the type of drama I was looking for. XD Oh well. Maybe I should rephrase. I still want my love drama. =P They're soooo cute!
Sometimes though, I sort of wish I never discovered them. You know what? Scratch that. But I spend sooooo much time thinking about them! XD I think the closest people I know that sort of fit in the love drama category are Sling & Tae. It would have been Jess & Ramon too (they were like, the PERFECT couple for a love drama...), but they broke up. ='( Which is a bummer, actually, because I liked Ramon... Oh well. I guess Jason's not bad either, but I don't really know him.

But like, sometimes, I'll just lie in my bed and like, think about my future. I just sort of want to skip all the parts right now, and just see where I end up when I'm twenty-seven. Or forty-two. Or sixty. (Why, yes, those are random numbers.) And who I end up with. It'd just be interesting. To time-travel into the future, just to find out who you end up being with. Or if the best friends you have right now stay with you. Or what job you're doing.
Especially when I'm sad or something. It's just sort of like, I wish I could just skip all of this and see where life takes me... It'd be awesome...
Wouldn't it?

Break is Awesome! Relaxing! Great! And... Boring...

It seriously is. I spent all my break so far doing one of like, five things: 1) Eating, 2) Sleeping, 3) Piano/Homework, 4) TV, and 5) Computer. It's rather lame.

Anyways, not much to look forward to or anything. I'm going bowling on Friday with people I just met, like, 4 days ago. Haha. Shows the extent of my bored-ness. But whatever, they're cool.
But basically, I was talking to Davy (whom I met Saturday, and who is one of the like, 6 people I'm talking to over break, because everyone else is off somewhere), and we were hella bored, so we went on OMGpop and played some Balloono (which I failed at. I killed myself. Four times. Out of seven), and did Jigsawce. Which we failed miserably at. We solved like, three 49 piece puzzles in half an hour. XD It was rather sad. Anyways, we were talking about being bored, and how I never leave my house, besides the movies, bowling, and ice skating. And then we were like, "OMG, WE SHOULD GO BOWLING!" So yeah. It works.
I find it rather funny how I meet some of my friends in the weirdest ways possible.

Okay, Courtney was lingering outside school, and I saw her, and sorta knew who she was, so I was like, "HIIII!!!"
I met Sling in a locker room. While changing.
Mike was when the cat he was playing with escaped from the cage/room and I caught it. XD
I met Kevin through a teacher. Yeah, I know.
Wayne was in my EP contest room, and then he made fun of me for how I was eating a pizza. -.- FYI, Wayne, the only reason I was eating it half-folded up is because I didn't have a plate.
Grace randomly came up to me one day and poked me. So yeah.
And I met Davy at Sling's birthday party. And talked to him when I was asking what the heck he and Sam were doing.

I'm sure I could think of more, but... You get the point. XD

Sling's B-Day Party!!!

Haha, it was hella fun!!! I got there late though, because my mom dragged me to Costco, then proceeded to get lost in Windemere. XDD

Anyways, she had HELLA food! Nomnomnomnomnom... Strawberries, spring rolls, grapes, COOKIES, yumyumyummy!!! Then we all went and watched people play Super Smash Bros, which I fail at. XD I think I killed myself more times than I got killed by other people. Roflmao.

Then we went to the park, and went on the swings and stuff. Sam was trying to never be on the same level as Davy, so somehow he climbed onto the play structure without using the things that you're supposed to use to get onto the play structure. So that was really cool, so I was trying to find out how he did it, and ended up hanging upside down off the wall. XDD
Then these little kids came over and started squirting all the guys with their water guns, and that was pretty hilarious. I borrowed one and sprayed Kevin. XD
Then there was this little guy named John, who I was playing with, because his brother brought him here and proceeded to ignore him and talk on his phone. I really wanted to go up to him and be like, "You jerk! Go play with your brother. Don't just bring him to the playground ad ignore him!" But I figured that would probably be considered rude. =P So I was playing "baseball" with him, the we went on the swings, and when I left for the basketball courts with everyone else, he followed me. It was so cute! And he played basketball with us... sorta... and then pretended to be a malfunctioning robot. It was awesome! At least his brother noticed he wasn't at the playplace anymore (after like, 10 minutes, but at least he noticed. *sighs* I hate people like that... oh well). Haha, then everyone started talking to John, and playing with him, and when he had to leave, we were all like, "BYE JOHN!!!" and his parents turned around, and were like, "What the heck...?" It was pretty funny.
Anyways, besides Annie, Kevin, and Sam, we had fun failing at shooting baskets *cough* Davy *cough*. But it was pretty cool.
Andandand... somehow, Sling and Tae were curiously absent this whole time. *wink* Aha.

Then we ate pizza, ribs, chicken, etc. Played "Ten Fingers," and watched "Slumdog." Dav kept making these retarded comments throughout it until he had to leave. XD I already watched it before, but it was still good. Sling opened presents too, and that was pretty cool.
Then we ate cake (CAKECAKECAKECAKECAKECAKECAKE!!!!! =D) and yeah. Yuna, Jess, and I climbed onto the roof, and it was pretty nice. I wish I could climb onto my roof. Just sit there and stare at the sky.

We got ready for bed, but halfway through, everyone started getting back up and going into the kitchen and stuff. XD Fusako, Kavita, Kim, Jess, and I were playing Truth, 'cept it got hella off-topic. Ahahaha. I wonder what guys would talk about if they played Truth? Probably not what we talked about. Roflmao. Anyways, Kavita and I ended up going to bed at like, 4 am. XD

We ate pancakes for breakfast!!! Yeah!!! And we had this really good Chai tea thing or whatever. Yum! Then people started leaving, but Jess and I stayed until like, 2-ish. XD We made TONS of cotton candy (Sling rented this AWESOME cotton candy maker for a few days), and we ended up with these huge wads of cotton candy. =D We took some home too. Then we watched "Phineas and Ferb" for a while, which was HILARIOUS. I wish I had Disney Channel... *sighs* Oh well.

Anyways, it was so much fun!!! =D

Saturday, April 4, 2009

Spring Break '09!!!

Hell yeah! Days of blissful peace and relaxation and doing absolutely nothing! (Technically, it's just me staying home, sleeping until 3 pm daily, doing homework, playing piano, going on the computer, and watching TV.) Maybe I'll go to the movies. Or have a water balloon fight. Or go swimming if they've cleaned the neighborhood pool, which I doubt. Or go to the park. Or learn how to ride a bike. Yes, I said learn. =P I'm so happy! Yay!

Haha, I wore this really bright pink strapless dress (obviously wore a jacket over it), because it's spring! And bright colors make me happy. ;) And I was afraid I'd get my math test back, which I'm sure I failed, and I'd need something to cheer me up. We didn't though. Get the test back, I mean.

PE was boring. We had a sub, but we still had to run and stretch and crap. -.- We played dodgeball though! I just stayed in the back. Dodged the balls. Caught one. Didn't throw it. I remember I used to actually try in middle school. But I have absolutely no aim whatsoever, and my throws suck too.

Math was boring. We "learned" about sigma. Blech. Bo-oring.

Brunch was hilarious. Basically, I was talking to Robyn, and she was saying I looked nice and asking about my dress, so I told her it was strapless, and she was like, "Take it off!" (Referring to my jacket, because she wanted to see my dress, but you know.) It was soooo funny. XD You had to be there.

I slept through ceramics. Made a hollow sphere. Pretty much it. So basically, I worked for like, five minutes out of 100. XD

Lunch was pretty boring. Robyn was gone, at her swim lunch, so... no shoe-stealing. Or (lesbian) name-calling. XD

We didn't do much in French. Took a quiz, which I aced thanks to Shannie's tip-offs. (Love you!!! =D) Listened to some music. Reviewed the subjunctive. I finished parts of my homework. Afterwards though, Shahzeen and I ran outside and screamed, just to celebrate the freedom of spring break.

After school was pretty boring too. Listened to the "Assumption Song" on CK's iPod (dude, her headphones are freaking BEAST. Hella good sound-canceling and stuff), cracked up at Grace, etc.

Ross and I had an interesting conversation on the way home. As always. We were talking about jacket zippers today, and those dangly string things on sweatshirts. Then we were talking about the girl-guy ratio of science and math teachers. It was rather fun. We were relating random words yesterday (like apple to house, by way of: apples grow on trees, trees are green, bushes are green, bushes are outside my house). =P I love our rides home. Haha. The only reason the rides to school aren't as fun is because I'm always dead in the mornings, so I never really feel like getting into a debate about the use of the word "technically." XD

*****

We had pictures in Chinese school today, and my teacher thought I dressed up for it (you know, what with my dress and stuff), but I had no idea. XD We were arguing that the guys should go in the front, since the girls didn't really want to be in the front, but we had to be. -.- Oh well. But like, Michael, Kim, Daniel, and Andrea weren't here, so I guess they're not going to be in the yearbook? Which really sucks. =\
Our teacher got really mad at us today. She totally snapped at Michelle. Like, my guess is that she was already fed up with us, because the guys never listen and are always hella noisy and everything, so when Michelle was asking her for help on the part of our homework which we weren't doing, she got hella pissed, and started screaming and stuff. She sorta reminded me of my dad, so I got hella freaked out. But basically, Michelle was asking her what some of the phrases meant/said, but the teacher didn't want us to be translating them right now, so she just flipped out. It was rather scary.
She calmed down after a while, so things were okay... ish. By far the first time our teacher has actually gotten mad though.

Substitutes Rock!!!

I'm so freakishly happy and I don't know why! W00t!!! It's really weird though, I like, literally failed my math quiz (screw Turbeville for putting stuff she didn't teach, and isn't in the book, on the quiz... -.-) and I think I failed my math test too (I hope I don't get that back tomorrow), and I sorta failed-ish my history pop quiz, but I'm still hella happy!!! Maybe it's just because it's spring. My favorite season! Yay! Plus I got the only 100% on the essay I wrote in history (which I have no idea how I got, seeing as he was rambling about not focusing on the negatives, which is exactly what I did, but whatever!), and my English average is pretty high. And I found out I got 100% on the objectives part of the myth test (missed two, but used a bonus buck worth two points). Yup! =D

We ran so much in PE... Well, technically, not really, but compared to usual. Three laps + stairs. Blech. Then we played field hockey, where my finger got (accidentally!) smashed by Shannie's totally awesome, powerful whack at the ball-puck. XD

We just watched Seven Years in Tibet in history. We were supposed to have a pop quiz, but Mr. Tisa talked Mr. Sloan out of it! W00t! Go substitutes!

Kristine was like, going crazy during brunch when she found out Ms. Foss was gone. I swear, she was laughing hysterically. She started crying because she was laughing so hard... o.o

Obviously, we had a sub in English too. Mr. Bourg! Haha, he makes tons of stupid jokes. XD Robyn went to the orthodontist, and he was making fun of her name, then she walks in, and he's like, "Darn! I can't make bad jokes about your name!" Then he says, "She's Saiki-ing me out!" It was so lame. XD

I stole Robyn's flip-flops during lunch, hid them, then cracked up when she walked right past them. =P Stepho wanted to go talk to Mr. Johnson about joining Jazz Band next year, so Courtney and I went with her, but he wasn't there.

Bio was boring besides a certain Mr. Pence is "batting a 0... or is he?" episode. =P I swear, this is why I love this class. Roflmao...

After school, Stepho, Courtney, and I went to talk to Mr. Johnson. You can totally tell he wants a pianist for Jazz, since he was talking about how if Stepho didn't work out with bass, she could play piano instead. XP

*****

Field hockey in PE yesterday. Fun.

Test in math yesterday. Double fun.

Did nothing in ceramics yesterday. Triple fun.

And French actually was fun. =P I got candy, because Mme. Goldin was going around sticking pictures of fish on people's backs. David TOTALLY didn't notice he got one, it was HILARIOUS.

Actually, ceramics was okay. I started my candle holder thing, and this girl got asked out to ball, it was so cute! Like, this guy comes in with flowers and ice cream and asks her out in front of the whole class. Kind of embarrassing, I guess, but sooooo cute!!! Haha. I'm such a sucker for that stuff. It's sad.

Myths... That "Wonderful" World of Fantasy...

Yeah, when I was about 8, I got immersed into the world of Greek mythology. Like, not "First there was Chaos, who gave birth to blahblahblah..." but the ones about heroes and Hercules and Theseus and stuff. So basically, my teacher read us a bit about Hercules, and we watched the Disney version, so I got interested and checked out this little summary myth book, and looked up the myths I wanted to read more about. So basically, I loved mythology.
And now? It's sort of annoying. Stupid myth test... I'm actually okay with the myths (not so much all of the names, but...), but I hate the allusions and vocab...
It's such a herculean task to memorize these! I hope that this test won't be my nemesis... I'm in such a panic because I haven't started actually studying yet... I don't think I'm going to study much, or else it will be Pyrrhic, but if I don't study, I will be sure to get lost in the labyrinthine questions that are bound to appear, and fail. How dare the Draconian Ms. Foss hector us with the prospect of such a hard test? Okay, I'm done with my philippic now. =P


*****

PE was boring. We fail at field hockey... XD

I totally bombed my math quiz. I got 14/20! Yay! Ugh. I really am not looking forward to Wednesday... Stupid test on permutations and combinations and crap...

I read the myth book in ceramics. I really didn't do a thing I was supposed to be doing, since Mrs. Tussy was entering grades, so she didn't notice, but I'm pretty much done. I'm farther than like, half the class. ;)

I was dead during French. Don't even ask me what I did. Something about learning vocab about going to the doctor's and stuff.

Haha, I feel sorry for Ross. XD He has to put up with me going, "Test me! Test me!" on the ride to school tomorrow. XD He had to put up with it today too, actually. And during brunch. And on the way home. Oh well. He's nice. =P

Sunday, March 29, 2009

Boomer's/Cady's!!!

Anyways, I had a totally AWESOME time today! Alex came over for like, half an hour because she needed a ride to Cady's (where we then carpooled to Boomer's!), and we basically reviewed for the myth project and talked. =P

Boomer's was hella awesome! We went on the bumper boats and ended up in this big huge mob full of Mock Trial people, and there was mist (from the squirt guns) EVERYWHERE!!! You could barely see who you were shooting at, it was so bad. Haha, everyone got SOAKED. It was soooooooooo fun though!
Then we went GoKart Racing (my first time ever!) and it was AWESOME. I drove like a crazy person, but I didn't bump into anyone!!! I really want to go again, maybe I can go for my birthday? Boomer's isn't that far... But anyways, it was so awesome! I kept swerving back and forth, but I was going full speed and making all these hairpin turns. XD
Then we went inside and played video games for a while (not ones with tokens though, since our card didn't cover that), where Alex and I played DDR, I went skiing, and shot tons of people in that shooting game. =P It was pretty cool.
Then Adam, Lana, Kelly, Aaron, Alex, and I went to play mini golf, hole-in-one version, because playing it normally would have taken FOREVER. Basically, you get two tries to make a hole in one. I got one, and Lana won because she got two. ;) So that was really fun, and then I bought one of those soft-frozen lemonades that I LOVE. I swear, those things are muy deliciouso.
Then we went back in and played some more video games, and then we carpooled back to Cady's house.

We ate tons of pizza, strawberries, chips, Chex, and drank tons of soda! Then, right after, Luke, Tate, and I went on the trampoline, which wasn't very smart, but it was totally awesome! Then we got "awards," gave the 2-year members gavel pins, and gave Mr. Barr and Lori their bed-and-breakfast gift!
We played RockBand too, and I just sang, but it was kinda hard holding the notes since I had a cough, but I still passed all the levels! ;) I love it when Adam sings though, it's HILARIOUS.
Then we watched "The Princess Bride" which was, amazingly, a pretty good movie. Funny, sort of violent but not really, and just awesome in general.
Cady has three dogs (Red, Crash, and Luke Skywalker), a kitty (Jellybean), a frog (Wilma), and a tarantula (Sugar Cookie). The doggies are sooooo cute! I fed Red and Crash some pizza because they kept staring at me, and sitting on either side, and I felt bad. =P
It was kind of funny though, because Mrs. DeLano was baking brownies, but apparently her new oven doesn't work so well, so the sides were done, but the middle was totally uncooked, so we dug it up, threw the bits on a plate, and baked the middle in the oven a little while longer. It looked sort of... weird, but it tasted fine, so... ;)

*****

Yesterday was okay. We played field hockey in PE, which was sort of stupid, because field hockey is just a stupid game. XD Jamie whacked me in the neck with the stick though (totally on accident).

History was okay. We talked about the essay (which, by the way, I passed! Yay!), and did some cultural literacy's, and probably did some other stuff, but I don't remember, as I wasn't really paying attention. XD

We took our "Odyssey" test in English, which I have a feeling I failed, but... Then we watched this really stupid cartoon thing about the gods/goddesses, which had some interesting information, but you wouldn't really pay attention to it because the narrator was so freaking annoying... -.- Oh well.

I was really asleep in lunch, but I helped Kevin with his TKAM homework, since I'd read the book, and Kevin's not azn enough to finish his homework at home. XD

We took a test in biology too, which was actually kind of hard, but I got a 105%!!! (Out of a total 110%, but whatever.) But I felt kind of bad, seeing as I only studied for like, 5 minutes during lunch, and the two times he told us the answers to the first 14 questions on the study in class.
Basically, before the test, he was talking about how if you didn't study for 4-5 hours, you wouldn't pass the test, so I was like, "Oh sh*t..." Then he told us the highest average in his previous classes was a 70%, which made me even more nervous, and I got the test, which was harder than his normal tests, and I filled it out, guessed on a few, but thought I did okay. But I wasn't expecting to get even an A, because I figured I probably bombed a few questions since I barely studied at all, but I got a 105%, and I felt really bad, since there were people who actually studied and barely got an A, then there were people who flunked the test (half the class), and here I am, standing here with my barely studying and having an A+. -.-
I was pretty happy though. And I was proud of my A+. XD Of course, I probably could've flunked the test and still have an A in the class, but whatever.
I got this cool tattoo too, it says, "I Love Your DNA." I still have it. It didn't come off in the shower. o.o But it peeled a bit, and it got worse during the bumper boats today. Oh well. I got this really cool morphing ball from Mr. Pence too. It's sort of broken, but whatever! I love it! =P

Oh, What a Difference a Single Letter Can Make...

PE was pretty fun. We played indoor soccer and basketball, but we never got to basketball, since we didn't have enough time. Soccer was hella fun though. XD Kind of lame too, since I was one of the few girls trying, so there's all these guys running around, then me and a few more girls, then these mobs of girls standing in the corner talking and screaming when the ball gets near them. XD But anyways, I had this awesome episode. I was trying to steal the ball from some dude, and I got it for like, a split second, then he tried to get it back by putting his foot directly in front of me, so I tripped over it, went flying, and landed in the perfect position to use my momentum and roll and get back up. ;) It was pretty cool.

Math was boring. We're doing probability. Elementary stuff, it's so stupid. -.- We had a fire drill though, which spared me from about half an hour of torture. False alarm too, so nothing got burned down. Though it would've been nice if it did, as long as it wasn't where my stuff was. =P

I was throwing a pot in Ceramics today, and trust me, that stuff is waaaay harder than it looks. XD My "pot" ended up being rather miserably out of proportion... Oh well. I also happened to give myself a cut... with soft, wet clay...No idea how I did that. XD

Lunch was pretty boring. I've been hella tired this whole week, and I don't even know why; it's not as if I slept particularly late or anything... Oh well.

French was okay. We just reviewed for our test Thursday, and talked about how if you say "baisser" (bess-ay), which means to turn down (the heat, air conditioning, etc.), wrong, and pronounce it "baiser" (bez-ay), it means the F-word. So if you want to tell someone to turn down the air conditioning (Pourriez-vous baisser la clime?), and you pronounce it wrong, you're telling them to go f*** the air conditioning. XDDD
So that made me think of something else, like if you weren't a native English speaker or whatever, and you pronounced "s" like "sh" because of an accent, and you wanted to ask ,"Can I sit here," you'd be saying, "Can I sh*t here?" Which is a rather big difference if you ask me. XP

Myth Presentation and Alex Award Project!!!

We played capture the flag today, which I sort of tried in (I was defending), but after I narrowly missed getting slapped in the face, I stopped going after the really fast, crazy I-flag-guard-for-my-life people. Plus, I'm still sick, so I couldn't breathe after. -.- But it was pretty fun, so...

We had a "superquiz" in history, which I probably failed, but I can't check my grade, because SCHOOLLOOP IS DOWN. Ugh. Then we have an essay on Wednesday, which is going to be kind of hard to write for me, but whatever.

English was pretty fun though! Dalton and I presented our myth project, but that was sort of messed up. Basically, I had all these props, and I talked through the first few paragraphs, and I started coughing really bad, so I told Dalton to take over, but he had absolutely NO IDEA what we're talking about. So he takes the summary, and reads off of it (word for word), which really isn't what the summary was for, since the language wasn't exactly an "informal, teaching" dialogue. The horse I made was pretty cool though, and everyone got a good laugh out of the skit, which I must admit, Dalton edited pretty well. Then no one got 100% on our quiz, and like, more than half the class failed it, which I found really weird, as I made sure to emphasize the questions with "And make sure you know," or "This is really important," but I guess between the skit and everything, people just forgot... But that really sucks, as it's part of my grade... But I hope I get extra credit for my props?

Bio was pretty fun. We finished up out DNA fingerprinting lab, and got to see these bands of glow-in-the-dark DNA fragments under UV lights. It was pretty cool.

*****

I was so freaking tired today though, and I have no idea why, but I finished my WHOLE Alex Award project yesterday! EVERYTHING! Besides reading the book, that is. But anyways, my project consists of one VERY crappily written poem which really isn't what she wanted at all, seeing as it's mainly a retelling of the story, two pictures, and this wooden swan I made. XD I hope I get an A on that though...

*****

Friday was... interesting. Let's just say that I was "massacred" (not really, but... =P) by some girls during Chinese school telling me to go out with this one guy. It was rather funny, but sort of weird, seeing as afterward, every one of my Chinese school friends was like, "What was THAT about?" Some of my best friends weren't there though, so I guess I won't get bothered about it too much...

WHOAAAAAAAA =P

I really need to keep myself updated on posting. =P Okay. I shall go backwards from today until... a week and a half ago. XD

So anyways, we ran a TON in PE today... Two laps, then sprints. So basically, pretty much a mile. Then it was retarded, because I'm sick, so after I sprinted, I started feeling really dizzy and nauseous and almost threw up. -.- So for the first game in Ultimate Frisbee, I was sort of wandering around the field, trying to look like I'm playing, holding my stomach, and trying not to throw up. It was pretty miserable. Lol.

So during lunch, I was actually quiet. I just sort of slept in the shade... Until these guys started throwing a water bottle at each other, it almost hit me, and i pelted it back. =P

Math was boring. We learned about the "Fundamental Counting Principles!" Yay for 3rd grade math!!! W00t!!!

Ceramics was boring too.

So was French. I am SO good at describing my day huh? Miserable and boring.

*****

PE yesterday was okay... We did this weird descending jumping jacks thing instead of running, so...

History was pretty fun. We just presented our PowerPoints; I'll probably have to go tomorrow...

We just watched some more of "The Odyssey" in English. Mr. Bourg subbed for us, so yay for bad jokes 2 periods in a row!!!

Bio was HELLA boring. We just reviewed RNA. Thank god it was only 45 min... (CAHSEE testing, so everyone but sophomores got to get to school at 11:00!!! And that's only if you have A period!)

I had this awesomely green outfit for St. Patrick's!!! Haha. It was pretty cool. I ran aroung pinching people. =P

*****

We played dodgeball in PE on Monday! Hella fun!!! Except the first game. It was girls vs. guys, so by the time the girls lost, there were like, 2 guys out. XD

Math, Ceramics, and French were boring. =P

*****

I didn't do much over the weekend... Went to Dalton's house to work on the myth project. Our skit was hella funny. I kept forgetting my lines, but whatever. My first skit thing where I had to talk (Ajax), it was hella windy, so you can't even hear what I'm saying in parts. Then when I'm being Sinon, I had to improvise my lines, which made them suck really bad. Plus, Dalton kept smiling behind his shield, which made me crack up, so it took us like, 21 tries to get it right. The only skit part that was really good was the last one, with Astyanax. The invasion of Troy fight scene was pretty nice too. But the part where I shoot Dalton in the heel was really messed up; the wind ended up blowing it near his chest. So that was pretty bad. XD

*****

We had a bomb threat on Friday... the 13th. Apparently, these teenagers were talking about a bomb in a video game, on a simulated high school campus, but someon thought they were talking about Cal High, and things got out of hand. But it was kind of funny; a bomb and shooting threat on Friday the 13th... Plus we did the 13th Cultural Literacy in history... =P
Leadership or something put these signs on all of the teacher's doors. For appreciation, I guess. Mr. Sloan's was "Class Clown," and Ms. Foss' was "Best Couple... with Mr. Sloan." XD I was joking to Courtney and Robyn, I was like, "It's because the best thing about Ms Foss is Mr. Sloan! They can't think of anything nice to say about her." XDD But Ms. Foss is pretty awesome.

*****

On Wednesday, we played wiffleball/volleyball again... We failed on the volleyball court, because Kevin wasn't here. XDD

We went t the library in history, and hd to start our African country PowerPoint. I finished, like, half a slide, so I didn't even save it. I just went home and did the whole thing. XDD

English was HILARIOUS. We watched this movie about ancient Greek philosophers or whatever, and there were all these busts of Socrates and Pythagoras and stuff floating around, coming out of temples, etc. =P

Bio was boring, since we just did DNA/RNA stuff...

*****
I went to the movies on Sunday with Sling, ChiChi (Wayne), Ethan, and Sam. (FYI, I really don't know Ethan or Sam. XDD) We watched "Taken," which was a pretty cool movie. Tons of action and a guy running around killing people. =P Then afterward, Sling and I were going crazy running around the place (Regal), so we ditched the guys like 3 times for Barnes & Nobles, Party City, and Starbucks. It was pretty fun. Then everyone was picking on Wayne, cuz he's such a good sport about it. =P
