Songs to Remember: Gotta Talk to You - Seungri
I did remember to do a post for today, even though I did spend about 8 hours playing "Rust". Anyways, here's a recap of what I was talking about in the last post.
I was discussing how I saw this picture on Facenovel featuring 2 people I knew from 6th and 7th grade (Middle school basically). It showed this girl sleeping on this dude's shoulder and how she likes this guy. The dude caused me some problems back in 7th grade (and just a tiny bit of 8th grade). The girl doesn't really classifies as "existent" anymore since I liked her a bit in 6th grade.
In my last post, I was talking about the dude and how he caused me problems, now I'll talk about the girl. We met back in 6th grade. We were in the same class and I still remember how she went up and talked to me when I was sitting on the bench watching others play "Wall-Ball". I liked her a bit for some time and she never talked to me ever again.
Now with all this irrelevant information, why would I be talking about a Facenovel picture? Well, it kinda showed how ridiculous my looks are to others. The dude has had no interest in girls whatsoever. He'd rather focus on schoolwork and stuff, rather than trying to attempt to create relationships. Other people (including his friends) think the same way too. They said "I can't think of what blank's girlfriend would be like." Well, turns out she's very charming and attractive.
It confuses me how a dude who calls people "human rejects" and a very "unique" sense of humor could just sit back and do nothing and still get a girl to be attracted to him. I shouldn't even be talking about this considering I can't exactly amount to his level of popularity (and a crude one at that). It makes me think: what's wrong with me? If I could see myself in someone else's eyes, I'd probably solve about 50% of my current problems.
I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, no matter how random it is. Though, I'm still waiting for my turn.
All in all, I hope those two are happy together, even with all the confusion it creates in my mind for this match. Oh, and Facenovel pictures never really speak to me this way. I usually find just random humorous, hurtful, or most of the time idiotic pictures with comments on Facenovel. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this story. See you tomorrow.

Week 32
Songs to Remember: Metropolis - David Guetta and Nicky Romero
Alright, here are some stories that I'm gonna talk about. I think I've forgotten one of them already. Hopefully I'll remember it whilst I write this.
So last Friday (2 days ago, March 28th), I went on Facenovel late at night and came across a picture that my friend posted. He posted a picture of these 2 people I know, one of them a guy I knew from middle school and the other a girl that I had liked (not a crush) for a bit in 6th grade. The picture was of both of them sleeping on the bus with the girl leaning her head on his shoulder.
To get some back-story on this, the dude and I had some differences back in 7th grade. I kinda hated the way he acted back then. We had 2 classes together, yearbook class in 1st period, and English class in 2nd, but most of our "bickering" was in yearbook. Yearbook class was hard as f***. Take my word for it, it's cool and all with the computers and designing something most of the school with see, but it's so stressful.
In 7th grade, I had yearbook because I thought it'd be cool and stuff to work with computers to design something (I really liked graphic designing and stuff). Also, in 6th grade, we even had to fill out like a form if we're interested in taking yearbook. I put that I was familiar with Photoshop and they put me in next year. Yearbook was so stressful. First, the teacher had practice by taking photos of kids and stuff during lunch and that's not very practical in middle school; no one here wants their picture taken. When it was time to start working on the yearbook, we were assigned roles to do (one person would take pictures and work on the math section, another on the science section, etc).
My partner and I were stuck doing the "mugs" section of the yearbook. I cannot tell you how infuriating this job was. We had to manage over 700 kids, their grade, their picture, and their team (in our school, we were divided into "teams" for pep rallies and teachers. A person on "Team Determination" was to have these teachers for their classes. A person on "Team Excellence" would have these teachers for their classes, and so on. There were 5 teams in total).
If the kid was new to the school (or didn't arrive on picture day), we would have to go to them during 1st period (our yearbook period) and take their picture. Once we had all the pictures, we had to input it all in the computer, alphabetically, and according to their teams. Doing this for 700 kids (and including the teachers) was not easy. It didn't help when there was this kid in my class who often messed around, and having the trouble near me.
I figured this post would be too long so I decided I'll just split it into 2 parts (not purely just for having something to talk about tomorrow. People these days don't have time to read long bodies of text. I try to make it like a 2 minute read as much as possible).
I'll continue it tomorrow, so I'll see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Talk to My Face - D-Unit
So I forgot to write something for today (insert colon p here). I was too busy today playing Minecraft with my buddies and by buddies I mean cousins. I also found that one girl who stands in front of my locker's ask.fm profile (she posted it publicly on Facenovel and said for people to ask her questions so no, I did not stalk her to get the link). So that means I have another person to mess with. And yes, I do not have a life due to me messing around on people's ask.fm's.
I'll tell stories tomorrow, but now it's getting late so I'll see you tomorrow.

Week 32
Songs to Remember: Dear Boy (Radio Edit) - Avicii
Last night I thought about what I was looking for in life. It's something else.
So today I did my Romeo & Juliet Recital for my English class. It lasted about 15 seconds. The words were stamped into my mind so I didn't really have any trouble memorizing it at all. In Biology class, after we all took a quiz, the teacher put on a movie and it was "Frozen".
Don't even get me started on the amount of Frozen posts on Tumblr. For those of you who don't know (that's basically anybody who exists), I have never watched Frozen. All I've seen of it were Tumblr posts and that's about it. I didn't know what to expect when I was watching it, except a lot of singing. There was so much singing that I could not understand the plot one bit. And no, I don't want to build a f***ing snowman.
In physical education class, we were still having the table tennis tournament going on. There was only one thing: my partner wasn't here today. I was like "F***", but then I was like, "This means I get to 2v1 people. And that is just what I did. People are was facing against were like "It's just you?" and I was like "Bring it". I got from the last table to the 4th table, about 3 tables from the "King's court".
Today we had a rally in the gym today (rallies are like when people do stuff in the gym and half of the school sits on the bleachers there to watch. Then that half leaves, the other half goes in, sits down, and watches the performances again). It wasn't that great, none of the rallies are ever great. It was a hot and steamy room full of dancing teenagers.
In Geography, the class in which Tn and I are in, the dude who didn't finish his presentation yesterday, actually presented today. His was on Mexico and his talked a lot more about it's history and stuff more than mine. He even passed out food which were these kind of bread pastries. We watched like half a video on this dude in Rio and when I bell rang, quickly packed my stuff so I could exit out the door at the same time as Tn, but no, she was gone like the wind.
I did say Hi to her though. I felt that a hand wave was all that was necessary to get my point across. Something is just out of place and it might just be my paranoia. I don't want to jump to conclusions like I did with Ez because I learn from my mistakes. I'm not going to do anything drastic, I'll just take it slow. And I mean like, a hand wave once a week slow. How many days we got left of school? 42? That's not many days left. I just kinda want to get this year over with so I can start anew, but then there's that feeling you get when there's only a few weeks left and you don't want it to end.
My friends, they're there for me every day. The thing about it is that it's- well, everyday. I'd like to meet more people and develop friendships with them and stuff. The girls at my school, it's just the same old thing over and over again to me. Not many people have that factor that I find exciting. And that is it. I'm bored. I'm bor- ing. Every day is the same thing, with little fluctuations every now and then.
I want excitement, I want surprises. That's exactly what I'm looking for in life. Meeting new people, they might surprise me in their personality. Developing a relation with someone, it doesn't happen very often, or actually not at all. That makes it exciting if it does happen. It brings excitement to my life.
Anyways, I got some stories to tell for tomorrow so this weekend won't get boring. I hope to see you tomorrow, so see you tomorrow. Be sure to make life exciting.

Thursday, March 27, 2014 "I Present."
Thursday, March 27, 2014
Week 32
Songs to Remember: Safety Zone - DMTN
Well, this day proved to be less exciting than I was expecting. Let's just say I might have done something wrong.
In first period, everyone went up to recite their lines for there parts in Romeo & Juliet. Everyone except for me and a few people. Now that's such a tease; I was expecting my teacher to reach in that box, pull out my name, and myself to go up there and recite my lines to get it over with, but no. Now instead I have to do it tomorrow.
As you can see, it's less exciting already. In physical education, the tournament's been going (table tennis tournament) and my partner and I are stuck between the last and second to last court. We always win when we're on the last court (because the people who are on the last court are essentially free wins for us. I've been using the word "essentially" a lot recently). When we're on the second to last court though, we always lose by like a few points. It's essentially this table tennis curse (see what I mean when I say I've been using the word "essentially")
In 5th period (Geometry), I was starting to shake a bit. I wasn't exactly nervous for the presentation, I was just nervous for the presentation. I had my notes and I just kept going over them and I just thought to myself "Yeah, I am so going to need these. And by these, I mean all of these." Then when the bell rang, I was hoping to see Tn on the way to Geography, but nope.
So it was 6th period, I was getting out all my stuff and the most bulls****y thing happens: the other 2 dudes who were presenting WEREN'T PRESENTING. One of them was obviously not going to even attempt to even write his name on the paper to start his presentation and the other was like "Yeah I don't have mine ready." I'm like "Wow. So this is what I get." It was essentially god trying to be nice to me like "Hey Drew, since you were disappointed that you didn't recite your Romeo & Juliet lines today, I'll make sure you go first, and by first, I mean FIRST!" I got my USB drive, and I put it in the computer. Yep, there it was, my hard work from Monday (this Monday) staring at my like "Yes. Present me to your class. See what happens."
I edited it a little bit and just stood there like "OK, this is going to be OK. Just picture everyone in their underwear." But then my mind was like "Oh no, they're hot!" I had my poem I was about to read in my left hand, my notes in my right, my body shaking, and my throat abnormally dry. At first I felt in control when I looked out from the front of the classroom. I was like "Yes, you are my pawns and I am the king." But then I was like "I take that back! I take that back!" When everyone was settled in and the teacher said "Whenever you're ready." I was thinking like "Is there a time limit on being ready?"
So there I was, the lights dimmed a bit, everyone's eyes fixed at me, and I just went at it. "Hi, my name is Drew." and it began. I went to the poem after I introduced the presentation a bit and I could see my teacher just sitting in the back all comfy on his couch like "Yes. Present for me. Present for the whole class. Yes. Yes." I read my poem, making sure that I wanted to keep my eye contact on every row in the room (by row I mean left, right, and center of the room). I kept on hearing the sound of my paper crinkling when I was holding it. I think I held onto it too tightly, or lightly, or I was too shaky (most likely everything).
When I was done with the poem, I was expecting applause. Nope, just silence. I moved onto the PowerPoint being all like "Now I'm going to take you all on a little trip to Switzerland." I had my assistant (forced assistant) hit the space-bar on the laptop to advance the slide to the beginning one. I spoke poorly in 3 languages, just for the first slide, thank you Google translate. I began to stutter a bit, a bit of umms and uhhs here and there, and whenever I said "uhh" or "umm" I instantly thought "Damn it." because the more "umms" and "uhhs", the lesser my grade. Wait, why was I thinking about my grade at this time when I should have been focusing on looking professional and smooth?
Anyways, I think I zoned out a it towards the middle of the whole thing. I honestly could not remember how I managed to do the lecture for 8 minutes straight. I think my sub-conscious was taking control cause' during the middle, I kinda forgot where I was. My mind sorta fainted but my body kept on going. It was pretty weird. When it was the end of the PowerPoint, I was like "Oh." and I went to go get the chocolate and my teacher was like "Good. 8 minutes. Let's give Drew a round of applause." And I was thinking like "Holy- 8 minutes?" I guess all the stuttering and "uhhs" and umms" accounted for 3 minutes of my whole presentation.
And then it was over and I was passing out the chocolate while some people were asking me questions. I mean, I was surprised people actually had to take notes on my presentation and I was like "Yep. Shoulda stuck with paper." The short questions people had to answer on their half-sheet of paper were like "Write 1 fact a famous person" and "Write 1 fact about transportation of the presenter's country" and stuff like that. I didn't have enough for 1 bar per person, that would be way too expensive. Instead I had it be 1 bar per every 4 people and they would just share it. The whole point of the food was for people to taste it.
When I went to pass the chocolate to Tn's friend (the one who sits right next to her whose seat I wish was mine) I was like "Here you go" and Tn wasn't even looking at me. At least I didn't she think did. We proceeded to work on this assignment the teacher gave out which was to make a cross-word puzzle. While I was working on it, the teacher overhears Tn and her friend mention my name so he goes over there like "Oh, do you have a question for him?" and he had this face like "Oh I know what you guys were talking about." When the bell rang, I made sure that I was going to go through the door at the same time Tn does. But, something was kinda weird. I was standing at my desk, pretending to look through my backpack and stuff and I see Tn talking to who friend who sits near her (not the one next to her).
I pretended to go through my backpack and stuff, waiting for her to begin walking to the door, but she just stands there talking to her friend. They even mentioned my name and I kinda overheard Tn saying how "Drew is so annoying" though I doubt that's aimed towards me. There's a lot of Drew's at this school. They talk and talk and I even look at my watch and I was just thought like "Whatever" and just walked out. I was figuring that she was waiting for me to leave first so then she wouldn't have to run into me on the way out.
And that was the end of story that showed me how over-thinking is something you don't want to think about. I learned from my mistakes (with Ez) and so I'm not going to act all spiteful towards Tn just because of something I think because chances are, people don't pay enough attention about you to even act spiteful towards you.
Anyways, I did the presentation, I got my 15 minutes of fame, and accomplished what I had to do today. What I didn't accomplish though was to talk to Tn today. Talking to her is like a drug, you just can't stop. She's also been on her phone a lot lately and by phone I mean mobile on Facenovel. Something's wrong, I just can't put my finger on it. Hope you enjoyed, see you tomorrow.

I learned from my mistakes (with Ez) and so I'm not going to act all spiteful towards Tn just because of something I think because chances are, people don't pay enough attention about you to even act spiteful towards you.
Anyways, I did the presentation, I got my 15 minutes of fame, and accomplished what I had to do today. What I didn't accomplish though was to talk to Tn today. Talking to her is like a drug, you just can't stop. She's also been on her phone a lot lately and by phone I mean mobile on Facenovel. Something's wrong, I just can't put my finger on it. Hope you enjoyed, see you tomorrow.

Wednesday, March 26, 2014 "Preparations."
Wednesday, March 26, 2014
Week 32
Songs to Remember: Lose Control - H
The amount of work due tomorrow is craaaa-zay. Instead of having all these presentations and homework on Friday, my teachers decided "Why the f*** not?" and put it all on Thursday. I have a Romeo & Juliet recital for English tomorrow, readings on ADHD and the nervous system for Biology, a printed-out black and white picture for drawing class, a math test, and my oh so dreaded presentation for Geography.
So instead of preparing for all this, I've decided to spend a few minutes writing this post. So, nothing really exciting has been happening. It rained today and I didn't think it was going to rain at all considering how it was sunny and warm for like a week and a half. But it's spring so what can you expect?
I'll talk more about what's what tomorrow (I'll definitely have a lot to talk about tomorrow), but right now, I got to start memorizing my presentation(s). Anyways, see you tomorrow.

Tuesday, March 25, 2014 "Getting Down to the Wire."
Tuesday, March 25, 2014
Week 32
Songs to Remember: Forever - HAIM (The Knocks remix)
Where am I? What year is it? Oh it's you again. I'm talking to you, blog. I just finished my PowerPoint on Switzerland (it was a bit harder than I though), now I have to practice memorizing my lecture as much as possible. I have to do my presentation tomorrow and it's kinda getting down to the wire.
My English teacher is going to have a few people recite their memorized lines from Romeo and Juliet tomorrow. He's going to do this by random, drawing names from pieces of paper in a box. I have about 3/4 of my lines memorized; it's the part where Romeo is talking about life before he drinks the poison (oops, spoiler alert, heh). These lines I'll probably remember for the rest of my life. Oh and that reminds me of this one article I read where this dude had these robbers give up by reciting lines from Pulp Fiction. Now that's cool.
I have drawing class as my elective class right now. In this class we don't have any homework at all (the only exceptions are like, finding a picture on the web and print it out to use a reference picture or something). Next year, I think I'm going to have Chinese 1 as an elective (which means, a lot of cute girls to sit next to). That also means I have to learn to write in Chinese (and re-write down sentences like, 20 times on a sheet of paper). My friend is taking Chinese right now (and is part Chinese) so he could always help me out. Or, I could have one of the girls in that class to tutor me during lunchtime, which is also a win for me.
I just realized I sounded like a total thirsty dude in the last paragraph. Now that I got that off, uhh, I was surprised my partner and I did good in table tennis today. We're at like, the 5th table out of 10, so we're going to be averaging on a B grade right here. I realized that the reason we got to that table was not because we did 360 turns trick-shots across the table (which we didn't), but because our opponents mess up. If we kept on rallying the ball (by rallying I mean hitting it back and forth), they're gonna mess up eventually, either hitting the ball too hard or not hard enough, netting us the point.
After physical education, I sat at my friends and our usual hang-out spot. I was sitting there, eating my lunch and a few minutes after the lunch bell rang (people in 4th physical education always get released like, a few minutes before the bell. Don't ask me why) Ct came by and was like "Hi" and I was like "Oh hey". She caught me off guard, because I don't always expect stuff like that to happen (or at least too often anyways).
In that one moment, I felt that my existence was known, just for that split-second when she said Hi to me. It just helps me know that some people care enough to say hello once in a while, or as I like to refer to it as "Hello, I am acknowledging your existence. You may now return to what you were doing."
Talking about my day is weird, but that's all I really got to talk about right now. I'm still waiting for exciting things to happen. Still waiting. Still waiting. Still waiting. Stil- see you tomorrow.

Monday, March 24, 2014 "Who's Drew?"
Monday, March 24, 2014
Week 32
Songs to Remember: Forever - HAIM
It appears that you don't really need a "Hello" in order to start a conversation once you've talked to the person for a while already (about a week's good). Tn doesn't even physically say Hi to me, she waves while I wave and say "Hi Tn". This kinda reminded me of Ez's hello wave and I don't want to remember that.
For English class, we're reading this book called "A Raisin in the Sun". I've heard of the title before, back in 8th grade where we had a poetry unit and we read this poem that had those words in it. That exact poem was in the first few pages of the book.
Oh and here's a cool story. This happened last week on Friday I believe, in my first period English class. Our class was packing up our stuff and lining up near the door because the bell was about to ring to go to our next classes. I sit next to these 3 people, one guy in front, one girl to my right, and a girl diagonally-right of me. We joke around and the guy in front of me always jokingly says "I love you" to me (all of us know he's doesn't actually mean it).
So we were in the back of the classroom (it's a very small classroom, there's only like 25 students in here) standing, waiting for the bell to ring. There's this girl who sits about 3 seats in front of my row. That one guy goes "Do you love Drew" (again, this is all a joke). She replies "Who's Drew?" Now that made me laugh a bit inside. Not because of the fact she doesn't really know who I am (by name anyways), but because it's funny. I mean, who am I? I don't even know myself, heh.
Anyways, just a story I found interesting. We started doing practice matches today for our table-tennis unit in physical education. We even started one match for our table-tennis "tournament". And by tournament, I mean grading. There are about 10 tables and if we win a match, we move up a table, and if we lose a match, we go down a table. If we're in the top table, our grade's going to be an A+, the middle tables a B, lowers a C, and so on. Hopefully my partner and I (I didn't really get to choose my partner. Her and I were like the last ones without a partner so, yeah. She's a short, quiet girl.) make it to at least the B range tables so it looks like I'm going to have to carry here.
I talked to Tn today, right after I took the Africa test for Geography that is. I totally forgot that we had a test today. Usually the tests are on Tuesdays and Fridays, but because of a "school rally" on Friday (and Tuesday just isn't the day), the test was moved to Monday, which was today. I remembered about the test during 5th period when I was going through my binder (I don't see how I didn't remember in my past periods). I studied while my teacher was making us do examples on our notes worksheet (I always finish the examples quick so I have time to do whatever).
I studied as much as I could before 5th period ended. The worst part of the test is the map part. I had to go through the test packet and look for names for countries it had in other questions and just pray to god I have them in the right locations. I think I got at least a B-. AT LEAST. Please, for the love of god, let me get at least a B-. I have a C+ right now for f***'s sake.
I hope you enjoyed the post. I actually wrote a lot today, I don't know why. I think I should work on my presentation now. Oh and by the way, Target has some good commercial music. Forever by HAIM is a-maz-ing. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Thank You My Love - Hong Dae Kwang
I recently started on my PowerPoint presentation today (thank god) for my Geography class. I have to wear a dress shirt, tie, and dress-pants and do a 6 minute presentation on Switzerland, due on March 27 which is this Thursday.
My parents went out and finally got the Toblerone (Swiss chocolate) for my presentation. I'll be handing them out to the class and hopefully that'll get me some extra style points for my presentation. I've been working on the slides for the presentation for a few hours today. I timed myself and I got about 1 minute done so far (about 4 slides).
I don't have much to talk about today, it's mostly just an update. I'm probably going to be busy this week memorizing my lines for Romeo & Juliet for English class and my Switzerland notes for Geography. Anyways, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Whatcha Doin' Today - 4Minute
Sorry if you saw the text at the bottom of the last post, that was just a note to remind me what I was going to write about and I sorta forgot to delete that part. It's gone now, I went back and edited it. Anyways, onto the discussion.
So you all know Mq right? Nobody does really. I've talked about her before, she's this girl that I had a crush on (what a surprise) from like October to December. She was in my 6th period physcial education class last semester. She's supposedly in a special education class here at school, but I don't see why; she seems pretty normal.
Yesterday night I was on Facenovel scrolling through my news feed and I saw a picture of Mq's best friend whom she hangs out with and talks to every single day. Her friend is also in the special education class as well by the way. I accidentally clicked on her profile (accidentally OK) and I found pictures of Mq on there and I was like "What is this". I tried searching Mq up on Facenovel before (because I wanted to talk about physical education OK), but I couldn't find her (as expected of course). This was a surprise to me, so much that I was questioning myself, asking "Wait, do I even have the right person?"
And it was Mq, because she literally wears the same thing everyday (I'm not even kidding). She wears this pinkish red jacket all the time. She was tagged in the picture, but under a different name. She used a Japanese name and a Chinese surname. I accidentally clicked on her profile and all she had were some selfies and a few random profile cover pictures. I did not expect her to actually take selfies.
Oh and I forgot to explain that she avoids me. Like, when I'm walking in her direction, she moves like a mile away. To this day, I don't know why. Anyways, I just wanted to get that out there, I am bored and got nothing really else to talk about. I haven't even started on my presentation yet. I'll see you tomorrow.

Friday, March 21, 2014 "Risk it for the Biscuit."
Friday, March 21, 2014
Week 31
Songs to Remember: Chloe - Emblem3
I said I was gonna have a lot to write today, and I lied. I don't know how long this'll be so we'll find out if did write a lot or not. Depends on what I define by "a lot". Can you believe I have only 48 school-days left? I know, I was surprised too, surprised that today I risked it for the biscuit.
Today was fine to say the least. My English teacher is making us remember lines from Romeo & Juliet and recite them. This is probably what Shakespeare's intention was he when writing all these plays. My teacher barely teaches us about English and mostly just has the class read out loud one person at a time and then towards the end of class, like 10 or so minutes, we watch parts of the film version until class ends. I already know correct grammar, spelling, much vocabulary, and such (even though I sometimes don't show it on this blog) so him barely teaching us English really isn't that much of a problem.
We're doing ping pong now (or table tennis if you wanna be a d*** about it) for my physical education class. Yesterday we were practicing on serving. Like literally, that was it. Just serving. We didn't even get to return the ball, a person just served and we could only catch the ball and give it back to them to serve again. Like, it does not take 50 minutes to learn to serve, only about 20 minutes (for those who have never heard of ping pong, or table tennis, before). Today we practiced rallying in doubles. Almost every freshman here has taken ping pong (or table tennis) in middle school so I don't see why they're taking their darn sweet time for practice. We learn by mistakes and we make mistakes by playing.
Now moving onto the real stuff, where things get real. Ct wasn't here today (and by that I mean I didn't see her at my locker) so I didn't get to tell her my name ... And that is why I'm waiting for Monday. I am also not excited for Monday at the same time because that just means I'm a day closer to when I have to give my presentation, which I still have yet to put together.
In 6th period today, we played Jeopardy, like the class-study-game-for-a-test type of Jeopardy. The teacher has written on the board multiple subjects (including North, South, East, and West Africa) and the teams were boys against girls. A person picks a question, the teacher reads the question, we raise our hands to answer and get points for our team. Needless to say, the girls won and got 5 extra credit points toward the Africa test on Monday (oh no, I just remembered this).
When class was about to end, I was getting ready to exit out the classroom door at the same time as Tn. I walked out a bit earlier than her, so I walked as slow as I could so that anyone with functioning legs could catch up to me. I was about 20 feet away now, walking to the back of the school and Tn appears right next to me (to my left to be exact). It was like a *boop*. She started talking about the Africa test or something (can't recall exactly) and I was exclaiming how I needed that extra credit for my test since I know I'm not going to do that great on it.
I then proceeded to ask her what she was gonna do for the weekend. She said that she didn't really knew and how she's pretty lazy. I told her that my friends and I were going to the movies on Saturday and insisted that she should come. "You should come," I said. "I don't know," is what she said. Actually I don't really remember what she said, something about being lazy. And in my mind, I was like "B****, you moved yo ass across the nation to go to a goddamn debate and you can't go a few miles to a f***ing movie theater?" Just kidding, I don't actually think like that, unless I intend to live the thug life.
Sometimes, you just got to risk it for the biscuit. If you want the biscuit (in my case, Tn), you gotta risk it. Oh and I just remembered something, something that has to do with Facenovel. Oh, and I did actually write a lot. Yay! OK, see you tomorrow.

Week 31
Songs to Remember: Teen Top - Crazy
First of all, I just want to say sorry that I forgot to finish my last post. Last night I forgot and I didn't even finish what I was going to say. People forget sometimes; I'm human OK? Anyways, I got a few things to discuss, first about current events and then something else.
Today my teacher told us that he was moving the test to Monday so I was like "Seriously? Seriously?" Well, I don't even study anyways so that's fine. But this time I HAVE to study, especially memorizing where each country and capital is on the map of Africa. I have a C+ right now in Geography and I think it's mostly due to getting all the map labeling questions wrong on the tests (and partly due to me not finishing some work).
I also said Hi to Tn and Ct today and that made me feel good inside, knowing I'm keeping my existence recognized by a few people, just for a few seconds. Ct doesn't even know my name, she just says "Hey, you!" It's kinda my fault, I forgot to tell her my name. Several weeks ago I was like "Hey, your Ct right? Nice to meet you." Yeah, kinda messed up there, but it's in the past and nobody in high school remembers anyways, nor do they care.
I just forgot a really amazing story. I still can't remember what it was. Anyways, you know how whenever you get a crush on someone and you "stalk" them for a bit (it's mostly just going onto their social media profile and looking at pictures and statuses really)? Well, I sorta accidentally went on Ct's profile ("Accidentally? Drew, how can you accidentally go onto someone's profile?" Motherf***ing conscience, do you not see I'm trying to tell a story here? Sheesh, some people). I saw someone posted on her wall, mostly due to her liking a LMS status thing.
The post said: "You're awkward in a good way. You're friends with my homie, Mc and you are really awesome. Rate: Really CUTE" She replied with "awh tenks sean!! i hope u see me more than just mc's friend soon <3" And I'm just like "What the f*** man, can you give me a chance here." After that, I was just feeling whatever. I accidentally clicked the dude's profile (looking at his mutual friends mostly) and I was "Does anyone know this guy?", seeing that there was only 24 mutual friends between us (and I got like 200 Facenovel friends. That's a lot to my standards).
I was thinking "Wait, what if she's a Sophomore?" Dun, dun, dun. But in reality it's not much of a big deal when you're thinking in real world terms, I mean, it's a one age difference. Though, she is still younger than me so that's something good, right? I accidentally ("Drew, how many people's profiles and pictures have you accidentally clicked on today?" Only like, 5 conscience. Can you go away now?) looked through more of Ct's pictures and it turns out: she is a Sophomore. DUN, DUN, DUN.
She even had a picture of her and her prom date, who asked her to prom by writing "You + Me = Prom?" Like what? That equation doesn't even make sense, let alone dates. But she did go with this dude to the prom so I was like "Whatever, you and your math logic." Anyways, enough of this stalker-like discussion. But, back to the status thing. We're discussing that now. So, Ct basically went straight- f***ing forward when telling this dude "Yo, notice me already senpai." That got me thinking; Why the hell don't I just do this? Tomorrow's Friday, I might as well ask her and Tn if they're going to do anything for the weekend and then proceed to invite them to the movies or whatever (because the movies are obviously not cliche at all).
You see? This is what gets my motivation going. I haven't typed like this in long time. And by that I mean like, 2 weeks. Oh, and by the way, I'm not a f***ing stalker. I hate that word. Never use it again. Except for me, whenever I need to make a point. I'm literally on the web for about 7 hours a day, so you can't expect me not to look at people's profiles to see what's going on for change (ha, double negatives).
You can expect me to talk a lot more tomorrow. This is what I needed to get my mind back on track. Anyways, I have to do my homework because we all know I do my homework (I'm not even kidding). See you tomorrow!
Week 31
Songs to Remember: Teen Top - Crazy
First of all, I just want to say sorry that I forgot to finish my last post. Last night I forgot and I didn't even finish what I was going to say. People forget sometimes; I'm human OK? Anyways, I got a few things to discuss, first about current events and then something else.
Today my teacher told us that he was moving the test to Monday so I was like "Seriously? Seriously?" Well, I don't even study anyways so that's fine. But this time I HAVE to study, especially memorizing where each country and capital is on the map of Africa. I have a C+ right now in Geography and I think it's mostly due to getting all the map labeling questions wrong on the tests (and partly due to me not finishing some work).
I also said Hi to Tn and Ct today and that made me feel good inside, knowing I'm keeping my existence recognized by a few people, just for a few seconds. Ct doesn't even know my name, she just says "Hey, you!" It's kinda my fault, I forgot to tell her my name. Several weeks ago I was like "Hey, your Ct right? Nice to meet you." Yeah, kinda messed up there, but it's in the past and nobody in high school remembers anyways, nor do they care.
I just forgot a really amazing story. I still can't remember what it was. Anyways, you know how whenever you get a crush on someone and you "stalk" them for a bit (it's mostly just going onto their social media profile and looking at pictures and statuses really)? Well, I sorta accidentally went on Ct's profile ("Accidentally? Drew, how can you accidentally go onto someone's profile?" Motherf***ing conscience, do you not see I'm trying to tell a story here? Sheesh, some people). I saw someone posted on her wall, mostly due to her liking a LMS status thing.
The post said: "You're awkward in a good way. You're friends with my homie, Mc and you are really awesome. Rate: Really CUTE" She replied with "awh tenks sean!! i hope u see me more than just mc's friend soon <3" And I'm just like "What the f*** man, can you give me a chance here." After that, I was just feeling whatever. I accidentally clicked the dude's profile (looking at his mutual friends mostly) and I was "Does anyone know this guy?", seeing that there was only 24 mutual friends between us (and I got like 200 Facenovel friends. That's a lot to my standards).
I was thinking "Wait, what if she's a Sophomore?" Dun, dun, dun. But in reality it's not much of a big deal when you're thinking in real world terms, I mean, it's a one age difference. Though, she is still younger than me so that's something good, right? I accidentally ("Drew, how many people's profiles and pictures have you accidentally clicked on today?" Only like, 5 conscience. Can you go away now?) looked through more of Ct's pictures and it turns out: she is a Sophomore. DUN, DUN, DUN.
She even had a picture of her and her prom date, who asked her to prom by writing "You + Me = Prom?" Like what? That equation doesn't even make sense, let alone dates. But she did go with this dude to the prom so I was like "Whatever, you and your math logic." Anyways, enough of this stalker-like discussion. But, back to the status thing. We're discussing that now. So, Ct basically went straight- f***ing forward when telling this dude "Yo, notice me already senpai." That got me thinking; Why the hell don't I just do this? Tomorrow's Friday, I might as well ask her and Tn if they're going to do anything for the weekend and then proceed to invite them to the movies or whatever (because the movies are obviously not cliche at all).
You see? This is what gets my motivation going. I haven't typed like this in long time. And by that I mean like, 2 weeks. Oh, and by the way, I'm not a f***ing stalker. I hate that word. Never use it again. Except for me, whenever I need to make a point. I'm literally on the web for about 7 hours a day, so you can't expect me not to look at people's profiles to see what's going on for change (ha, double negatives).
You can expect me to talk a lot more tomorrow. This is what I needed to get my mind back on track. Anyways, I have to do my homework because we all know I do my homework (I'm not even kidding). See you tomorrow!

Songs to Remember:
Today felt a bit better than yesterday, mostly due to the fact that I talked to Tn today, or actually, she talked to me. I've been kind of procrastinating a bit (emphasis on "a bit") on some of my work, more importantly, my presentation on Switzerland. I'm going to have to go out this weekend to pick up some Swiss chocolate for my presentation.
Oh my god, I forgot to write a post for today.

Songs to Remember: Can't Stop - CNBLUE
I almost forgot to do a post for today. I was watching Running Man just now since I've missed like 4 episodes and I just realized "Oh no, I forgot to post today!" You know what's ironic? How I remembered to do a blog post and typing diligently while I often forget about and procrastinate my homework. Did you know that irony is used incorrectly most of the time? Anyways, today's atmosphere at school was fairly different.
So CAHSEE testing's been taking place today and tomorrow at school. CAHSEE stands for the California High School Exit Exam. Every sophomore has to take it in order to graduate and the subjects covered are English and Math. Since some classes have sophomores mixed in with other freshmen, juniors, and seniors, they obviously can't issue it to everybody at the same time (if this is making any sense) so instead they have this schedule where it's more beneficial to the other classes than the sophomores.
For today and tomorrow, sophomores have to come in at 8:00 AM and take the test until 12:20 PM. AT 12:20, it's lunchtime and people could come to school at this time to go get lunch. At 12:57 PM, 1st period starts. Then it's 2nd period and finally 3rd period. Then tomorrow it's the same thing, except it's 4th period, then 5th, and then 6th. Basically, us freshmen, juniors, and seniors (or anyone else who have already taken or cannot take the test yet) get to sleep in until 1:00 PM.
I slept 12 hours last night. I went to sleep at 11:00 PM and woke up today at 11:00 AM. I changed, ate breakfast, and went on Facenovel until it was time to go. When I got to school, the feeling and atmosphere was really different. I think it's because I'm used to going to school where it's barely light outside and the temperature is fairly cold. It was really sunny outside, blue skies, and no clouds whatsoever. I felt a bit more optimistic and social in my 1st period than I usually do; probably because I was tired of waiting at home and wanting to see people. Then when I'm at school, I wish the last bell would ring so we could all go home.
The atmosphere was different though. I had a weird nostalgic feeling when I'm walking to my classes today with the sun out, all bright and, well, sunny. It kind of reminded me of when in elementary school and it was close to summer time. Then I felt like I didn't want school to end, but when school starts, I do want it to end. It's that same feeling every year at the middle and end of the year. I'm actually excited for next year because ... new classes! And that means, more chances for me to get a seat next to a cute girl that I have a percentage of a chance with! Yay!
Anyways, I'm hoping to say Hi to at least Js or Tn tomorrow. Hopefully I could think of possible conversations topics while I'm talking to them or else I'm gonna have more of that "awkward silence" thing going on and I definitely don't want anymore of that. At all. So yeah, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Jeon Won Diary - T-ARA
Today I was wondering what I should post for today. It wasn't until lunchtime today that I got my topic. I was eating lunch at the place where my friends and I hang out. One of my friends stated that Js and her boyfriend broke up just this morning. In my mind, I instantly thought "This is it. This is my time to shine, my time to swoop in there like a hawk."
So if you didn't know (which most likely everybody), I had written about this earlier, saying that if Js and her "boyfriend" were to ever break up, I'd swoop in like a hawk and befriend her and maybe get to know her a bit. She said hello to me on Facenovel before, but apparently I replied a bit too late (as in 16 minutes too late) and she didn't even reply back.
Enough with the back-story. My friend was like "Oh, we all saw this coming. The guy was frustrated all the time and how she wasn't spending enough time with him." or something like that, I can't remember exactly what my friend said. So apparently they broke up due to some time spending conflicts.
Since she's "single" now, I guess I'll start saying Hi to her, maybe make a few conversations now and then. I do see her a lot around school and this one time I was thinking about starting a conversation with her (earlier than last, last week's), but I didn't because I hesitated due to it not seeming like the right timing. She had this amazing looking jacket that had the names of a whole bunch of K-Pop groups on the back. She's also going to the Teen Top concert in San Jose in the next couple weeks. At least I know there's one common interest that we both share.
I have like 3 crushes, and they aren't just a "Oh, she's cute" kinda crushes. Crushes are supposed to be a "Oh, this could work" sort of thing, when you think you have a percentage of a chance at being in a relationship with them. I think I'm ready to move on to the compliment stage, where I do a "Hey I like your *blank*" statement and I go off the conversation from there. I'm going to have to be non-hesitant if I wanna do that though. Why? Because I've never complimented anyone before. At least I don't think so.
Well there you have it, an interesting topic. This day sure fired up my ideas in my head again. Why can't my days be more like this? Oh, and my friend Em visited today at school. She, her friends, and I walked to my locker in the morning. She brought her cute friend along, the one that barely even knows my existence, and is fairly short which is a winner for me. Anyways, enough of me for today, I'll see you tomorrow. That reminds me, there's CAHSEE testing (California High School Exit Exam) for sophomores, juniors, and seniors tomorrow and Wednesday, so for us freshmen, school doesn't start until 1:00 PM and we get out at 3:00 PM.
This week will fly by fast, and I mean fast. This could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending if I start my PowerPoint this week because I need to buy Swiss chocolate (Toblerone) for my presentation NEXT WEEK. That's enough for one day, I don't want to think too hard. See you tomorrow.

Week 30
Songs to Remember: Happy - 2NE1
It's March 16th so it'd probably be a good time to start talking about prom, even though I shouldn't even worry about since I'm a freshman still. Also, there needs to be something done about my feelings for my own social status right now.
Lately there have been many "prom-posals" at my school. In my opinion, it's more of an attention grabbing thing rather than what it's meant to be for. People here do lots of "ridiculous" things, usually consisting of lots of balloons, teddy bears, guitars, roses, and the like. I'm still waiting for that one big prom-posal where the guy makes a huge commotion in front of the school, only for the girl to say no. I'm still waiting for that.
Onto a more serious note, I don't feel comfortable where I'm at right now. Last night I was thinking about my old friends, my lack of enthusiasm, and the fact that the kids at my school have no understanding of what it's like to be like a lonely person.
My old friends post pictures on Facenovel and it looks to me that they are having the time of their lives; one of them even makes the remark "life is great". Yeah, the time of their lives.
In class, I don't know why kids make random remarks during a video or whatever. They go "Oh cool!" even though nobody cares or listens. And that somehow gets them noticed. Things just, don't interests me as much or at least, keep my attention. Nothing in class is exciting, yet they try to make it exciting when it's the same thing over and over again. I look forward to a new year because maybe there will be cute girls in my class and maybe I'll have a seat next to them so that they can keep my attention through out the class period.
I see kids at my school who create such a drama (more than what I'm trying to make of) about how their boyfriend broke up with them or how life is so "difficult" for them because of schoolwork or things like that. Let me just say that at least you had a "boyfriend/girlfriend" for that matter and how you expect for them to treat you for your personality while you're walking by the guys who would do anything for you. This guy is best friends with my 7th grade crush Am, and he gave her this basket filled with stuff for Valentine's day. Apparently she friend-zoned him. Best friend-zoned him. Hard.
Oh and to those kids who think school life is hard to maintain, it is. But it's not when you're known by almost everyone in your class. The kids who don't have many friends (or any at all for that matter) and still try in class are the ones who should get noticed. I cannot focus or take homework and classwork seriously until I get my social status problems solved, or at least worked on.
My posts have not been as exciting or filled with enthusiasm as the ones from like 2 weeks ago. I'm just not able to find the effort to put into this text. I just want to say (to my future self) that I am reaped of my excitement right now so if you're wondering why I'm acting like such an inconsiderate baby right now, you know why. See you tomorrow.

Saturday, March 15, 2014 "Advice for Thinking."
Saturday, March 15, 2014
Week 30
Songs to Remember: Spellbound - TVXQ
A few weeks ago my teacher asked me who I get my advice from. I replied as honestly as I can and I said that I got my advice from myself. During that time, I wasn't thinking (properly anyways). I was instead over-thinking and that is one of the things I never want to do. And yes, I have talk about over-thinking before and this is a continuation of that.
I forgot to tell you about the mile I had this week (on Wednesday). I had my best mile time ever, which is 9:01. I was pretty satisfied with myself, knowing that I improved from my previous miles (the times being 9:57, 9:37, and now 9:01). I just thought that I might as well just throw that in here. Now onto the topics.
So I said that I got my advice from myself. I was over-thinking and in the back of my mind, I knew it wasn't exactly true. I actually get my advice from forums and "Yahoo Answers". Very depressing and weird, I know. It's the truth. That's 'cause I got no one to really express myself to. Except for my newest friend Em, who has shared with me her friendship (and by that I mean talking on Facenovel) and who I now depend on for anything really.
This part I did get from reading online articles. This guy wrote on this social anxiety article or whatever, talking about how small-talk and have nice little conversations. People have conversations which of have no real purpose, other than just to talk. And how thinking TOO much can really affect how you keep a conversation going.
First off, people won't actually remember what you said after a day or so and all they'll remember is that you and them talked. Now that's a really good point. People over-think on what they're going to say and that's something that they shouldn't do because it needs to come naturally. Instead of planning what you're going to say, just don't hesitate and just speak. That's it. And that will help make small-talk something sub-conscious and that you'll be able to converse without even knowing it.
This dude's logic makes me think about the ways how I should apply my talking. Don't hesitate, just do it. My main problem is thinking too much like "Oh if I say this, they'll think I'm too confident. Oh I don't say much, they'll think I'm shy and scared." when in reality, they won't even think twice about the conversation that just happened. I think about conversations that I have like, weeks ago, thinking what I did wrong and how the other person probably hates me.
To be honest, I am shy. I do hesitate. I get nervous whenever my teacher chooses me to read a paragraph or answer a question. I get nervous when I'm in the spotlight. I act like I'm always in a life or death situation. I infer how other people think of me. I think too much.
Well, that got me thinking, about how I should stop thinking (too much that is). I hope you all had a nice time thinking about thinking because I sure did. Hopefully my life will be exciting, starting tomorrow. See you tomorrow.

Week 30
Songs to Remember: The First Date - 2PM
Oh my god, what day is it? Friday, yeah it's Friday. You know the feeling between depression and being tired, yeah that's what I'm kind of feeling right now: depressed and tired. Or stressed out, or disappointed in myself or regretting things that I've done, or regretting things that I have yet to do.
Might as well tell my day (since there really isn't anything exciting going on in my life as of this second). So today was a normal (and boring day). The highlights of it were mostly during 3rd period. One of my classmates brought in a baby bird or duck or thing. She brought it in a small shoe-shaped cardboard box. I think it was a for a project or something, I'm not really sure. All it did was attract attention of everyone like "Aww it's so cute" when in reality all it did was chirp all throughout the period.
When 3rd period ended and I was walking to my 4th period (physical education), everyone stopped and were watching something happen on the grass field in the center of the school next to the theater. Supposedly (from what I heard), it was a fight that happened. I was like "Wait, after all these years, I finally get to apply those lessons they taught about bullying and such? Like being a bystander, a person who ignores, or the person who stands up?" So yeah, I thought about it and I was like "I don't want to get involved in this" and I went into the locker rooms which were right next to where the crowd of people were.
A couple kids ran in the locker room and was like "Hey, there's a fight going on" and 2 P.E teachers darted out the door. Supposedly, the fight was about this little dude who wanted to fight this big dude. Now, the big dude didn't really fight back because a big dude fighting a little dude just makes it look bad, and so the little dude threw a trashcan at the big guy and that's basically all I heard. I never saw the fight or the guys involved, I just heard it from my classmates.
This may all seem "exciting" and how you don't see my life as boring, but it really is. This stuff I don't even care about. These things don't even involve me, I'm not really part of anything. I've decided that I am actually an extrovert, but the mindset of an introvert, if that actually makes sense. I like it when I'm around people, I actually like group projects now, since people are FORCED to cooperate with me and talk to me.
I just don't know where I'm at right now. If there was a map of the whole student body, including clubs, labels, and everything involving people, where would I be on that map? Would I be #35 on the Debate club part? No. Would I be #12 on my group of friends? No. You see, it doesn't matter if I don't fit in, because I never will. And so I need to make myself stand out and how will I do that? I. Don't. Know. I mean, I get depressed because I don't talk to my crush often as I'd like. To be in a situation, you got to make the situation.
Maybe I'm just loopy and tired because of aggravating video games that I've been playing today? I'll go get some rest now. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: The First Date - 2PM
Oh my god, what day is it? Friday, yeah it's Friday. You know the feeling between depression and being tired, yeah that's what I'm kind of feeling right now: depressed and tired. Or stressed out, or disappointed in myself or regretting things that I've done, or regretting things that I have yet to do.
Might as well tell my day (since there really isn't anything exciting going on in my life as of this second). So today was a normal (and boring day).

Week 30
Songs to Remember: Tonight - SPICA
March 20th is closer than I thought. I'm going to be in trouble. Why? Well that's when in Spring officially starts, and that's a bad thing. Also, that day would be a reminder to me that I would have only 7 days left until I have to do my class presentation on Switzerland, which I still haven't done yet.
When it's Spring, it means the weather will be whack. A few weeks ago it was raining. Now it's extremely sunny here. Also, Spring brings along a rise in, well, optimistic feelings. That's not good for me, I mean, I'm fine the way I feel right now. Today I actually talked to Tn, but she was the one who approached me this time. During class, I overheard her from across the classroom saying something of the likes of "... I have to talk to him after class." I calmed myself down and think of all the possible people who aren't me.
Good thing I was thinking to myself to not be on with her or else I probably would've lost it. When class was over, I was walking out of the classroom and this time I wasn't really thinking much of talking to Tn today. She must have been talking to the teacher after class or something, asking him a question about the multiple assignments he gave us. I walked and walked until Tn came up next to me. And that's when a smile formed on my face I when I saw her. We talked about nerdy stuff like wide-ruled paper for essays and such. Yes, because wide-ruled paper is nerdy stuff. No, it's some serious business.
After we were done talking, she went walking home with her friends and I did the same, except the friends part. I then had positive thoughts and felt very upbeat and all and that's what Spring does to ya; The warm weather, blue skies, your crush going up to talk to you and you didn't have to do much of anything, it makes you feel confident. A bit too confident (*squints eyes but eyes are already squinted because I'm stopping here before I offend anyone*).
This presentation, uhh, yeah I don't really have it finished (or started yet), along with a paper where we have to draw positive African things and a mini paper book where we have to (guess what?) draw more things. I thought I boycott drawing years ago but apparently it keeps on coming back to me.
Don't let the Spring feels get to you, it's all in your head (or atleast, I think it's in my head. I'm not really sure of what's reality or not anymore, heh). Stay smart, stay in school, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Tuesday, March 11, 2014
Week 30
Songs to Remember: La-Di Da-Di - Cross Gene
Social experiments are pretty intriguing, especially if you do them on yourself. Stalking, for example, is one of them. Stalking is actually a very common thing when it comes to crushes and I don't like that one bit. You start looking through people's pictures on Facenovel and out of nowhere, a tiny little voice in your head whispers " 'the hell are you doing?"
If you don't know what social experiments are, let me give you a little insight on it (of which I did not steal from Wikipedia. I simply borrowed it.). Social experiments are basically experiments on, well, people. This whole thing I'm doing, talking to girls and saying Hi, are all social experiments. With that, I'm gaining knowledge on the social figure of people here at my school. And then the weird stuff starts acting up.
Moving on stalking; it's a very controversial thing. Everyone does it. Don't lie to me, you know you've checked your crush's profile on a social networking site before and sifted through their pictures. Most of the time, "stalking" isn't that a big of trouble as people deem it is. It essentially harmless and most of the time it's flattering, most of the time. The person is kind of complimenting you by stalking you, in a way saying that they want to know more about the person and their personality (and the fact that they are interesting enough to be stalked).
Things go a bit too far if it comes to showing up at their house. Yeah, not okay. So that brings me to impressions. Now you all know Tn by now and if you don't know (of course nobody knows), she kinda into the whole debate thing; the ones where you go to universities and collages and, well, "debate". I was surprised how well Tn conversed with me last week, considering she doesn't really interact with people much in class. I'm guessing it's due to debates? Now that's a social experiment I need to do.
I clearly don't know what I'm talking about, I've probably made a lot of people mad (and not in the "trolling" kind of way). Will I go towards debate to impress a girl? The answer is y- eeeeeehhhhhhhhhnnnnnnaaaa- maybe. Just maybe. And that proves how I can't be myself sometimes. OK, bye. See you tomorrow.

Monday, March 10, 2014
Week 30
Songs to Remember: 2MYX - A-JAX
I never really thought about this, but it seems to me that my mind has an autopilot when walking around school. I'm walking to my classes without even realizing it. Also, apparently interesting things happen in 5th period and that's where I laugh, on the inside of course.
Whenever I walk from the back of the school (that's where my mom drops me off) to my locker to go to my first class, my mind directs my walking for me. I sometimes immerse myself into my own thinking (about a certain subject or whatever) and I make it through the crowds of people without even knowing it. Either it's that or I am just really sleepy. Most likely the latter.
In my 5th period today, my teacher did some "interesting" things, in a good way. My teacher always told our class that whenever there's someone making out near his classroom, he stares at them because of how teenagers aren't secure enough to have someone watch them kiss. So today, there was a couple making out several feet away from his classroom door. Lunchtime just ended so our class of like 25 students were standing outside his classroom waiting for the teacher to unlock the door.
My teacher instead was looking at the couple from the corner of the building. Everyone soon began staring at them and it looked like the couple was going to continue making out if my teacher hadn't go "Woot! Woot!" at them. Seriously, this dude is a good teacher.
In class, a student asked if my teacher had a stress ball she could use (she wanted to make a resolution to stop cursing and needed a way to vent out her anger). My teacher went in his closet and got out a stress ball, but it wasn't a ball. What he described it was an "Albino Tadpole" stress thingy. It was a stress thingy in the shape of a "tadpole". And by that he meant the carrier of the X and Y chromosome.
He got it from a friend who teaches at a university. I swear, the things that go on in this class. So I ACTUALLY laughed because of how outrageous this all was. And I never really laugh in any of my other classes unless I'm forcing myself to just to make myself look like an approachable and positive guy. My teacher in Geography class keeps on asking me "Hey, you doing alright?"
I really don't laugh, unless it's insanely funny according to my terms of humor. If it's mildly funny, I just make a smile and that's it. I don't know how the kids here in my classes uproar in laughter, but apparently my kind of funny is a bit different than theirs.
So yeah. Sorry for the lame post yesterday, I was pretty jacked up from homework, downloading a game, and daylight savings time. Anyways, Oh- I forgot to mention- yes I did talk to Ct and Tn today. Yeah, just wanted to mention that. Anyways, see you tomorrow.

Sunday, March 9, 2014
Week 29
Songs to Remember: Lonely - B1A4
I'm going a bit crazy here. I will admit that I do think that I am bi-polar. I was feeling all optimistic and stuff the last few days, now I don't know what to do. In Facenovel news, Cn (my past friend from elementary school who forgotten me) is in a "relationship". To rub it in even more, another past friend commented on the event post on Facenovel, saying "You two look cute together." So yeah, I'm going crazy.
It's kinda hard to let go off things like friends that you spent like, 4 years together. But then I think about how they don't really care at all who I am or what I'm doing, and that makes it a bit easier. And when I do let go, it always comes back to me. Particularly, in the form of a dream.
In other news, I seriously am bored today. I did however, finished HALF of my Geography homework.
Now, a little philosophy. Actually never mind, I don't really know much about philosophy. I sometimes think that time is running out. I'm in my second semester of my freshman year and I've only started setting the bases for being more ... "social". Things are needed to be done and the only one that can do that is ... me. I am the one who has to make it happen. I see everywhere that people are getting together and that doesn't leave a lot of breathing room for me. Social status, friends, classwork, homework, work, money, there just isn't enough time in the world.
I wrote this without actually trying to make sense of what I wrote. I am very tired, very bored, and my mind is flickering on and off right now. Tomorrow will hopefully get my mindset back. See you tomorrow.

Saturday, March 8, 2014
Week 29
Songs to Remember: When Do You Wanna Stop Working - Jamaica
Today is like the first day where I have decided to do my homework on a WEEKEND. I'm usually distracted by a laptop sitting in front of my face saying "Go ahead. Watch some videos, it'll make you feel better." And I'm just like "Can't ... resist ... temptation ..." Music does help me focus though so thank the lord for Pandora. Also, this Daylight Savings Time is totally tripping my parents. Seriously, when my mom thought one hour less of sleep, she thought to move the clock backwards. If I hadn't noticed, I probably would've been one hour late to school on Monday.
My Geography teacher seriously gives us way too much homework, and I can tell when a teacher gives us a lot of homework. He gives us about 2 to 3 weeks with a test at the end of the 2nd or 3rd week. We have until the day of the test to finish coloring (and labeling) a map, answering 20+ questions about the region we're studying (currently it's Africa), answer more questions or write summaries on a couple other worksheets, draw pictures on multiple worksheets, and color those too. All of that, before
Now that may not sound a lot, but it is. The worst part is the coloring, it's just a hassle really, and tedious. My teacher gives us about one day out of the 2 or 3 weeks where we can have in-class time to work on finishing (or starting) these worksheets. On those days he plays a video about the subject and maybe even have us write notes about the video too. The video is so distracting, I mean, I don't really watch the videos at all. I try to work but it's pretty difficult considering how every 5 minutes in these videos, the tour guide goes "Ooh, look at this, something interesting that I must make a loud reaction about it so you all have to look at this video to see what I'm talking about!" Can't resist the temptation.
And currently, including all the work I mentioned above, I still have to make a PowerPoint presentation for a country (everyone has to do this) which I have to present on March 27th. That's about 3 weeks from now and you might think that's a fair enough time, but it's not. I'm probably going to end up putting random pictures of architecture from Switzerland (the country I'm doing) into a slideshow while I ramble on quoting lines from Wikipedia, just so that my presentation will be the acceptable 6 minutes minimum.
With all this, I'd like to thank my teacher for doing this. Not only has it "helped" me learn Geography by coloring in shapes on a map, it also has given me conversation topics that I could talk about with Tn. And so, thank you. He really isn't bad of a teacher, just, lessen on the coloring PLEASE. I BEG YOU. BAN COLORING PENCILS. BAN CRAYONS. Inb4 I get attacked by elementary schoolers for saying all this.
When will I stop coloring, I don't know. See you tomorrow. Also, this controversy on the spelling of the word "Coloring" intrigues me.

Who knew I would get this far? Yesterday 2 girls, now 3, you heard me right, 3. I can't believe it either. This week has been nothing but social interactions, now that's awesome. I think this is the most conversations I've had in one week.
Today was justifying that. Last night I was talking with that one girl, Em, you know, that one girl who is sorta into that whole "scene" and "punk" thing. I don't want to offend her or anything. Anyways, she posted a whole bunch of statuses talking about how she's feeling and everything, including how her boyfriend cheated on her (no surprise there). Turns out she's a really interesting person and I mean interesting in a good way. So she said that she was gonna visit school early in the morning and after school to meet up with old school friends again (since she's being home-schooled now).
So today I woke up early so I could get the chance to meet her ('cause you know, I'm all about that social interaction now). I sat at the building where her friends hang out at and waited. About 5 minutes until the bell rings to get to class and still no sign of her. Suddenly, I see a couple of her friends walking from the building, with a very familiar person with them. I noticed her 'cause of her hair, and she has some nice hair.
I jumped off the bench (literally) and approached her, using my now cliche question "Hey, you're Em, right?" Now, I was thinking about this situation (if it were to happen) during the car ride to school. I was thinking about a hug that would occur, and what do you know? She hugged me. She was like "This is guy I met online!" Not exactly what I was expecting when she was introducing me to her friends, but hey, it's literal. We walked to my first period class and we talked about .. I don't know. Lots of random topics were discussed. She said she lived right across from the school so I was thinking maybe I could hang out at her house sometime or something.
That was a lot of excitement for me, especially in the morning. After 2nd period (Biology), I went to go put my textbook away in my locker. I was hoping Ct would be there (the girl who stands in front of my locker) and what do you know? She was. I said a casual "Hey Ct" and she was like "Hi". Remember, always look in the eyes.
Things settled down and it wasn't until after 6th period that I knew that this is my best week so far in high school. I exited the classroom, timing it at the same time Tn would leave. I was expecting to say hi to her, but instead she started the conversation so I was thinking "Oh. You're, you're making this too easy for me." Not to sound confident or anything, I just thought that I was supposed the initiate the conversation. Anyways, she started by saying "*Sigh* So much work." I agreed with her and started talking about how our teacher was giving us so much work.
After there wasn't much else to discuss about the class, I asked her "So what are you gonna do for the weekend?" because Fridays make it easy for you to ask people what they're gonna do for the weekend (and provide a topic to talk about). She responded "Who? Me?" And I was like "Mhmm" while in my mind I was just thinking "Who the hell do you think I'm talking to you little sh- I mean Yes, you are who I am speaking to." Haha, I'm just kidding. 'Course it did surprise that she did say that, I mean, no one has ever said those words to me before in that exact order, "Who? Me?"
Like, of course I'm interested in what you're doing. Hello? I have a crush on you. I wish I could wear a sign that says that but at the same time I don't. Continuing on, she said that she was attending a funeral for the weekend. Pretty spontaneous (I learned a new word today) and not what I was expecting. We discussed a bit about funerals and Asian families and made a bit of a joke about it. We said "Bye" and that was it.
This week has been the most social interactions I have ever done in one week. I said Hi like, 5 times or so. That's a lot for me actually. I feel, a bit more "alive" if that's what'd you call it. A more positive outlook on my future maybe. I'll always remember this week, where I actually put in effort in my sociability. Who knew I'd get this far? See you tomorrow.

Week 29
Songs to Remember: Fantastic Baby - Big Bang
I continue to use Facenovel even though it provides no benefits to my life whatsoever. I also need to ditch the messaging on Facenovel. I mean, it doesn't really help in creating relations with anybody at my school, it actually kinda does the opposite of that (number of notable examples: 5). Today I didn't say Hi to Tn sadly, but I did talk to 2, yes you heard me right, 2 girls. Those were just basic conversations and I mean basic. Basic, like, 14 on the pH scale. Now that's basic. We need to go deeper.
I really don't know how to follow up on the Facenovel thing so I'll just leave it at that. Now onto current events, yes, I did talk to 2 girls and it wasn't just a "Hi" either. The first girl was actually the one who stands in front of my locker. She was there with her 2 other friends as always and being a gentleman, waited for her to move. Then when she and her friends noticed me and she was like "Oh sorry, i'm always standing in front of your locker" or something like that, I don't remember. Now without thinking, I just said "Hey, you're Ct right?" She was like "Yeah" and I was like "Nice to meet you."
'Course, I forgot to tell her my name but it's fine. I looked her in the eye, and I don't do that often, but since she's shorter than me (thank the lord), I had to. Then I proceeded to get my stuff from my locker and all that while her friends were giggling and stuff and Ct was like "OMG why are you guys laughing? He knows my name" And at that point, I didn't know whether to be happy or not, but I was satisfied that I did do that and hopefully she'll be there tomorrow so I can talk to her again.
Now onto the second girl, the conversation was a bit longer (and a bit more awkward). I was planning this conversation though, well kinda. It was after physical education and everyone was waiting for the bell to ring to go to lunch. And so when the bell rang and everyone was excused, I walked up next to her and I was like "Hi, you're Js right? From Mr.Blank's class?" And then she was like "yeah" and I asked her about how the test was (the Middle East test last Tuesday). She was like oh it was alright and I was thinking "What did you just say? Alright? You're not giving me a lot of room here to go off from that." And then I started to talk about my grades and stuff for the class and it just kinda ended in awkward silence.
I think it was about 3 seconds of awkward silence. But in awkward time, it would probably amount to 3 hours. Anyways, at least I tried. I mean, talking to 2 girls in one day, now that is an incredible feat for me. I think it was because I was not thinking at those times, knowing that the consequence of the stating your existence wasn't that bad.
My next goal: to make these conversations more longer, better, faster, stronger- no. Daft Punk isn't needed here. Anyways, we need to go deeper in this conversation stuff in order to hold the interest of these girls, to captivate and ASSIMILATE. Oh wait, wrong movie.
I think that's all for today. I'll see you tomorrow. Oh and I have no idea what movie I was referencing by the way.

Wednesday, March 5, 2014 "Over-Thinking."
Wednesday, March 5, 2014
Week 29
Songs to Remember: Miami Horror - Colours in the Sky
I think too much, even though my mind is literally just empty space, with a few words and memories floating around in it. Since there's not much in my mind, I need to fill it up and my mind does that by over-thinking. Think of it as a blob of clay. It's just a ... blob. Now if you work on shaping it, imagining it, and worrying about it, it becomes a much bigger subject. Now that's what goes on in my mind whenever I over-think things.
So today I had a usual day, nothing much going on. I did say Hi to Tn though. It wasn't really a "Hi", it was a "sup". I don't know why, but my mind just accepts "sup" as a more casual greeting. "Hi" would be the better option though, because saying :sup" just makes you sound illiterate. "Sup" isn't even a word, it's just an abbreviation of the phrase "What's up?" Now, it's not even treated as a question anymore, it lost it's meaning. Instead of answering "what is up", people just think of it as just another "Hi" or a "I notice your existence". You see what I mean when I tell you that I "over-think" things? I literally just wrote a paragraph about the history of "sup".
Now onto controversial things (since those are what gets people all "rallied" up), I'm looking for an opportunity. So you all know that one girl who messaged me on Facenovel saying "Hi" who I replied "Hi" to, 16 minutes later and thus missing my chance of talking to her? Of course you don't. She has a dude-friend now (I've talked about this before in my extremely long original post). Well, once she breaks up with him (that is if they are ever going to break up), I will show up right next to her at the speed of light, ready to initiate a "Hello". Well actually I might just do that tomorrow (the "Hello" part). I just need to befriend her while she has her current "bf".
That's the plan. She even has a freaking jacket which has the names of a whole bunch of K-Pop groups on it. Like, is she seriously going to be another one of supposed soul mates? My "dream girl" (Get it, get it? The song by 'Beast'? No? No one? Alright then ...) Yeah, I thought Ez was going to be "the one". Nope, dead wrong, hopefully it isn't this time. Oh, and never believe in that "soul mate" garbage, because it's not real, it doesn't work in reality. I mean, who believes in that? Ahehehe *Looks around nervously*
As you can see, with the entirety of this post as evidence, I over-think things. A lot. And I am seriously going to over-think things if I don't take things casually. Casually? CASUALLY? [breathing intensifies]
See you guys tomorrow. Oh, and life is just great. LIFE IS JUST F***ING GREAT ISN'T IT, Cn? I swear, if I hear someone say that life is great one more time, I am going to grab their neck, turn it 90 degrees a- take it casually Drew, take it casually.

Songs to Remember: Kpop Mashup - Andrew Shum
Yesterday I forgot to tell you about the dream I had yesterday night. Also, this girl in my Biology class reminds me on Mimzy from 2NE1's "I Don't Care". I was sweaty today, but I don't care (get it? get it?) because I talked to Tn today. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Sorry for all the extra w's and a's. I needed to express my accomplishment in terms of the alphabet and w's and a's are the closest thing in representing that. Now, onto explaining things in chronological order. So yesterday night I had a dream and it was pretty similar to the one with Cn in it (you know, my past friends who don't really know me anymore?). I'll just explain the good part of it (the entire dream was really just me and some strangers in a Minecraft zombie apocalypse parking lot).
So at the end of my dream, I was in a lunch line in the cafeteria at school. A couple of my friends cut and went ahead. I, being a good boy, stayed behind and waited in line. Then, I saw a couple of my past friends in front of me, Bv and Ta (I met Bv in 1st grade and mostly knew Ta during 4th grade). Ta said to me "Oh, Hi Drew." and in my dream, I was deciding whether or not I should act like I know her or not. It's pretty weird thinking about it, how my dream self was thinking in my dream. Anyways, after she that to me, I was like "Oh, Hey." She then said "Oh Drew, if only there was someone for you to love." and then I had my arm around her shoulder.
It was pretty awesome, for a few seconds that is. The next thing I knew, I actually had my arm around Bv instead. I then went to the counter to gag and shudder. Pretty interesting dream right? I haven't seen Ta's face in like, a year or so (from pictures from Facenovel), yet she appeared in my dream. Pretty interesting alright.
Now onto today, yes, I did talk to Tn today and it wasn't just a small "Hi" and "Bye" thing either. It was actually a really nice 2 MINUTE conversation. Yeah that's right, a whole 2 minutes and for me, that's pretty darn long time. So here's how I came about to doing this: I had a test today for Geography 6th period and I was mostly just focused on the test more than anything. The first test I had in this class, I got a 46%, yeah, an F.
I was studying the whole day and it came down to this. The test was on the Middle East so it's not that hard (OK, it was slightly hard). I knew basically every single multiple choice question (there were about 40 of them). The fill in the blank questions were fine too, just some, which were talking about Middle Eastern recipes I didn't know. Then came the map where you had to name which Country was where. Yeah, that's where I struggle. I could only name about 1/3 of the countries there and 2/3 of them were just guesses. Memorizing names of Countries and there locations on maps are not my thing.
So what was I talking about? Oh right, I kinda got distracted there (see what I mean?). Anyways, I was the last one to turn in the test and my teacher had us pack up and stuff. I was ready in my seat with my backpack on, looking at the clock, waiting to walk out of the classroom (or run if necessary) at the same time Tn leaves. I was walking out of the classroom and saw Ta next to me, 2 feet away. I turned my head 90 degrees counter-clockwise and said "Hi, Tn." My voice was kinda like a mouse at that time. She then was like "Oh, hey, I didn't know you were in this class. Oh, right, you were writing up on the board yesterday." See what I mean? She doesn't even know me and that's a good thing, kinda.
She proceeded to ask me how the test was and I was thinking like "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm the one supposed to be initiating here." We talked about the test, I talked about how I got an F on the first one, our grades, A's and B's on report cards, all in about 2 minutes. We walked together while talking (I get extra bonus points for that) and I knew I was dragging her along for bit too much (because 2 minutes is a lot) and I was like "Alright, bye." I said it in a more friendly manner than saying that monotonously. She walked back towards the front of the school and I was so caught up in the moment, I forgot my jacket in my locker.
Well, there you have it, I made the first of many conversations with her. I only got about 3 months left of school so 90 days worth of conversations, Hi's, and Bye's will hopefully bring us close. I got to do my homework now, I hope you enjoyed, and see you tomorrow.

Week 29
Songs to Remember: Tried to Walk - B1A4
You know what I learned today? A lot actually. I learned that someone posted a link to their ask.fm profile so now I got something have fun with. Also, people are closer to you than you think. I even learned that experience will help you in the future. That doesn't really apply for me though.
To start this out, during the car ride home today, near where my house is (about half a mile away), I saw this girl getting out from the backseat of a car in front of her house. I was like Oh she seems like a nice, cute person (I had to add "nice" or else I would look like a creep, which I am probably already labeled). Then I saw her clothes (she was wearing a sweatshirt hoodie and sweat-pants) and I was thinking "Hey, those are pretty similar to the clothes of that girl who stands in front of my locker." (which she was today). Then I checked her height and hair (you see how stalker-ish and creepy this sounds?) and I realized "OMG, she is that girl who stands in front of my locker."
And yeah, I thought it was pretty cool. I'm not gonna say anything else further about this or I'll risk getting a restraining order. Anyways, here's the real topic for the day: experiences. Now I'm not talking about the experience you need to level up, that's a different kind of experience. I mean like doing something you've never done before and furthering your knowledge (or in my case, my knowledge) of how to enhance that. Now without using geek terms (which they really weren't), experience to me is how you felt when doing something for the first time.
My definition really doesn't do it justice, you could just look up the definition and save me from having to repeat myself in different ways. So anyways, did I say Hi to Tn today? No. And you know why? My mind kicked in. You see, love is a blind passion and if you're thinking straight, you're doing it right. I was just about to blurt out "Hi" to Tn who was literally 1 foot away from me. When class ended and her and I were walking out the doorway, her friend was like "Which way you going?". And I was like, well, she's with her friend, guess I can't say Hi today. But no, the gods have been very kind and she was walking the same way I was and right next to me too.
I was thinking for just a moment of how it would go and that's something you don't want to do. I'm thinking that the next time this opportunity happens, I'll just turn my head 90 degrees and just speak, just yell out loud, Hi. 'Course, it's easier said than done. Now with the whole experience thing, back in the first week of school, I went up to Ez and said Hi. I did it again when she was walking to her class, I saw her, went up to her, and just initiated a small conversation "Hey, where ya headed?"
With this experience of going up to a girl and saying Hi before, I should put a mindset into thinking "Hey, you've done this before, and it didn't go as badly as you thought." Also, this doesn't have anything to do with this, but to the girl on ask.fm that answered the question "You're popular",which isn't even a question, by replying "Not even", I'd like to tell you: F*** Your S***. Every 8th grader back in middle school knew your name and that was like 300 people for f***'s sake.
Now I hope you all enjoyed, sorry for the last part, I like to let out my anger by saying the phrase "F*** your s***" to people. I acutally wrote a lot for today and hopefully I will for next 900 days. I think. How many more days of high school do I have? Anyways, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Tried to Walk - B1A4
You know what I learned today? A lot actually. I learned that someone posted a link to their ask.fm profile so now I got something have fun with. Also, people are closer to you than you think. I even learned that experience will help you in the future. That doesn't really apply for me though.

Sunday, March 2, 2014 "Glasses are Cute."
Sunday, March 2, 2014
Week 28
Songs to Remember: Tried to Walk - B1A4
OK, so I kinda lied about posting this first in the morning (partly due to my brain still booting up in the morning). Oh, and I also forgot to post the Tumblr images for my last post, so I went back and edited it, the pictures are there now if you want to see them.
My intro paragraph wasn't as interesting as I thought it was going to be, so I'll make this my intro paragraph and the above one my update paragraph. Enough talking about what I just typed, I'll be discussing attraction (not having to do with magnets) and singing I guess.
So attraction, it's a weird topic. Weird in that it's weird just by talking about it and how it works. Now onto the egotistical side of things, I'm somehow attracted to girls with glasses. I know. It's either how I'm programmed (now it's starting to sound like a human-cyborg experiment) or if it's something deeper. Yes, deeper. We must go deeper and I mean emotionally deeper.
Back when I was in elementary (the first 5 years or so), or "primary school" as some of you call it, I had these two girls who I was sorta liking (who now ignore me on Facenovel, you know who they are). They both had glasses. In middle school, I had a crush on this girl and she had glasses as well (Yes I got rejected if you were wondering). Right now in high school, I'm having a crush on like 5+ girls (You gotta keep your options open) and 2 of them have glasses as well. Now all those girls have one thing in common (and it's not the glasses), they all look like that one girl from my past elementary school.
With all this information, you could say that it's some sort of psychological thing that's happening in my mind where I'm attracted to all these girls who looked like a girl in my past. And that's kinda true. I don't know why. I'm guessing that my mind thinks that glasses are cute?
Now moving onto singing, I sang today. I was trying to see how my voice would sound like if I were to make "covers" for some songs. Let me just tell you, K-Pop covers are a lot harder to do than English ones for sure. I sang "Cooler Than Me", "Tongue-Tied", "Lisztomania", "Clarity", "How to Save a Life", and a couple others. Needless to say, singers make it look way too easy. And no, I'm not a good singer, even if I am "gifted" with a "really deep" voice. When people meet me, they sound pretty surprised about how deep my voice is. I'll save that topic for another day.
Well, it's getting kinda late, it's 7:39 PM and I haven't even done my homework yet even though I said I would yesterday, so I guess I'll end it here. See you tomorrow.

Saturday, March 1, 2014 "Tumblr Connects to My Life."
Saturday, March 1, 2014
Week 28
Songs to Remember: I'll Show You - Ailee
So it's a new month and I always forget that February only has, on average, 28 days. Since I forgot to type much for yesterday's post, I'll be sure to make this a long one.
I'm not sure what to talk about, even though I said that I have a lot more stories to tell. Oh, I remember one now. Yesterday, my teacher told my class a story. There were these 3 teachers and they decided to go to a "gentleman's" club on a Friday (a trip club basically). One of them gets a lap dance and well, the teacher enjoyed it I guess. Now, my teacher said that when the girls give men a lap dance, they usually don't face the men. And so the teacher got the lap dance and when the stripper turned around to ask for payment or whatever, I don't remember, she was like "Oh! Mr.Smith!" The dudes leave and it became awkward for the teacher and his ... student.
Yeah, a lot of stories and such happen in my 5th period Geometry class. Alright, well there was that story. Oh here's another thing to talk about. So (I start a lot of my sentences out with "So") there are times in class when somebody makes a witty remark, someone being a dumb-ass, something crazy happens, or someone says something that just makes me want to say "Did that just happen? Did that just happen?" When that happens, I make a "Did you just witness what I just witnessed?" kind of face while looking into the distance. Apparently, I'm not the only one who does that.
A person on Tumblr just so happens to post that they do the exact same thing. I'm being honest here, when I saw that Tumblr post, I was just like "I'm not the only one!" It's pretty crazy what connections you find on the internet. Another awesome thing I found was that there are OTHER people who think of days, weeks, and years as episodes and seasons. Well, they don't exactly think of it as that, but it's close. How awesome (and crazy) is that. I thought I was the only one who counts their high school years as seasons (like in a Television show).
I'll put the pictures below of this post if you want to see the Tumblr posts for yourself. Uhh, I'll tell more stories tomorrow, maybe some rants I don't know. I hope this was long enough, I really need to work on my homework. Geography is a pain in the- see you tomorrow.
