Today wasn't too bad. I got a C on my Yoga test lololol. xD Technically I personally only missed one point, but we're graded as a pair, so yeah. Not like I care, pass/fail for the win! The calc test was painful... History quiz was alright; I missed a question because I said WWII and not Pearl Harbor (not specific enough). Ah well.
My entire 10th grade Chinese class stole all of the food from the office. xD

General comment... To be honest, PMS and lack of sleep aren't valid reasons to be bitchy. They're reasons to be irritable and have a slightly short temper, but you still don't have any basis to cuss people out and be a douche. Every girl goes through PMS to an extent, and pretty much all high schoolers run on a limited amount of sleep. But does everyone go around swearing and being a loser? I didn't think so.
You're entitled to a level of stress - after all, we ARE high schoolers - and that level is augmented by girl problems and all-nighters, but not the extent to which some people take it. Get a hold of yourself.

Justin started this huge "Let's sing Happy Birthday to Erica!" thing in bio today. And it's not my birthday. Oh jeez. xD

A spoonful of joy. =]

Placed 6th overall in my event!

Pretty damn good for my first time, according to Daniel. Wouldn't be as good if I did a principle event, since those are apparently not hard to place in, but I had my nice 40+ participant RFSM. =P Tiffy got 7th in Principles of Business Management, Daniel placed 8th, and Jung 9th (not sure which events, think Jung's was Apparel and Accessories).

The DECA State Conference was pretty amazing. =] I still can't believe I placed! But hanging out with people was definitely fun, and the whole Great America trip was awesome. Met some cool people too, like Ivan, Chris. P, Tim Kim, Casey, Calvin, and Kyle. Raiding the Elite room to play cards/hold meetings with Mr. Potts's card was pretty awesome too.
And don't even get me started on rooming with Michelle and Jessica... We're so weird... Staying up until 2 eating ramen and watching cartoons. xP It's a butterfly... or a manta ray... or a FLYING TAMPON! I can't even count how many things Michelle misplaced in less than 3 days (hour-wise)...
The actual competitions/roleplays/tests were pretty stressful, especially since I didn't really know what I was doing, but they were fun nevertheless.
I can't wait for next year!

Got in the top 8 for both of my roleplays! Probably didn't make ICDC (need top 3 overall and I didn't get anything for the test), but I'm happy. First competition EVER, and in a category of 40+ contestants! Plus, the 7-10 people I talked to for the event (RFSM - Restaurant and Food Service Management) were returning participants. I'm pretty proud. =]

I felt sort of bad, but I woke up at 9 this morning, and the first thing I thought was, "HAH. People are in AP Chem right now!" xD
We get to go to Great America in like 15 minutes (at a DECA conference, who would have thought?!) so I'm super psyched for that. I've taken the math and event tests (not taking econ) and they didn't seem TOO bad, except when they got into business jargon which I mostly didn't understand... But who knows, I probably failed it.
Our team was creamed in Quiz Bowl. xP Ah well.
I don't feel like I'm at a conference really... Like, I don't feel like I'm on vacation, but it's sort of like being at home and school. In a sense, at least. We still have testing, we go out to eat at like IHOP (the service SUCKS, we waited 50 minutes for them to just take our order!) and sushi places, and yeah. It doesn't seem that much different. But it's super fun! =]

Hope everyone is doing well back in San Ramon!!!

I'm there in spirit. =P

So apparently Friday is the one day I'm actually doing stuff in my classes... There's a lab in chem, a test and "nature walk" in bio, and we're returning/checking out books in English... Blah.

147/365

Ahhhh, I reallyreallyreally hope we made it into state! I'm pretty sure I didn't get all 5s (one of the scoring attorneys didn't seem to like me all that much...) so if we lose by like, a point or two, I will be pissed at myself... But we're going to make it! We will! I can't even find out if we did because I can't make it to the awards ceremony on Thursday! D=

ACT Scores

I'm trying to figure out if the stuff they send the colleges is the scores they show you, or if they recalculate your score based on the English/Writing Combined score... Because I like my current composite score, but I didn't do so hot on the essay, so it drag my composite down a point if it gets re-evaluated...
