Week: 7
Songs to Remember: Bing Bing Bing - JJCC
Hey so I'm pretty tired right now and it's only 11:34 PM so I'm making this a quick one.
For chemistry we have yet to change seats do that's nice, for P.E I chose weight lifting with my buddy. It was between softball, rugball, and weight lifting, and since softball and rugball are available all the tine, I chose weight lifting. There was a meeting for KDT during lunch so I had to go. My buddy asked me oncr on during the weekend if there was going to be a quiz on Monday. I told him no since I never heard the teacher say anything about a quiz and we're not even finished with the chapter yet.
And of course, there was a quiz today. Thabks goodness there was only 1 side of questions so I had more than enough time to finish em' all. The teacher let us see our grade average for the 6 week grading period and I saw and it said "C-". The teacher then rounded up and it became a C. I was like "Wow. I'm like neck-deep in math right now, just like an inch from drowning in a D". When my mom sees the C, I' tell her that it's only the progress report and that the teacher has yet to input all the grades yet. I'm hoping I'll get a B on this next test and hopefully that'll boost my grade up to a B-. Then I'll slowly climb up from there and be fine with a B+. Get it? "Be" fine with a B+?
For Chinese, the teacher extended the due date for the script and the skits for one day and I'm like "Oh come on". And uh, yeah. El and I talked about, I don't know, her plans for her birthday party in October. 25th. Which is like a month from now. I wonder what I should get her? I'm thinking a giant pikachu. Girls love giant pikchus.
And I'm still surprised how she invites me to her party even though I only really net her after she said Hi to me during that art show last year. Also, I asked if she was going to switch from DBA (Digital Business Academy) after the semester and she's like " Naww, I'll just stay. Besides it looks good on my college app". And I'm just thinking like "F***. If I had stayed in DBA and not change it like a loser, I would be in the same class as El for the rest of high school, since academies last 3 years". Like, come on life, what kind of timing is this?
Anyways, I need sleep. Now. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Missing - Teen Top
You know, it feels like Yn and I pretty good friends, even though I only really talked to her for a few days last week.
Like, she seemed pretty cheerful when she asked me about the chemistry homework today. And I think this all started 'cause... yeah I don't really remember how. What did I say for me to start conversing with her? I honestly don't remember. And this is why I write about stuff like this, so I can remember stuff later on.
Also her asking if I have a Facenovel probably made this whole thing A LOT easier. Now that's the stuff I like. So, I played some Destiny and a lot of League today, aaand I just finished my English homework about 30 minutes ago, and it's about 12:53 AM right now. I was working on editing my group's skit video for Chinese, along with some stuff for our online group portfolio, recording a part for a buddy of mine's skit, and playing League at the same time.
And with playing League, I apparently get a ton of messages regarding a lot of things, usually work. And when it cones to replying to Yn's thank you message for helping her on the chemistry homework or focus on playing League, I think we all know which is more important.
I think I should get some sleep now. I'll see you tomorrow. Also I still can't get over how fast she took a picture of her desktop screen. Oh why does she have to be a junior?

I was reaching the higher points of my day, aaaaand then it goes low. And I still somehow have a lot of homework apparently.
OK, I just looked at this post after I posted my new post (September 27) and apparently I didn't start it besides the first paragraph. F***. Anyways, El canceled the movie, dream-crusherino, she seems happy with that dude sitting next to her in Chinese, aaaaaaaaaaaaand I gotta pee. Right now. That's it.

Songs to Remember: Last Note - The Strokes
Last Night, she said, "Oh baby don't feel so down, see it turns me off, when I feel left out." So I, I turn around, aaand start writing this post.
I thought I forgot to write a post yesterday, but apparently I did. And apparently I did it right before Yn decided to message me. So she added me on Facenovel on Friday I think (Yeah, it was probably Friday) and things were fine until about, I don't know, 10:30 PM when she started chatting with me on Facenovel.
But first she starts off with liking almost all of my pictures on my profile. And I'm just like "Oh no, not agaaaaaiinnn". I had it happen before, but this time I was actually witnessing it happen like, I was just watching my notifications pop up with "Yn has liked your photo, Yn has liked your photo, Yn has liked your status from 2012". And I'm just like "Wh- what do I do? T-this is hapoening, again". Soon after she's done browsing my profile, she messages me "Dude, just knew u r Otaku :))".
I- I don't even know what to say. How do you respond to that? It was like 10:39 PM and I was still in sorta shock and so I just played along by asking "Yeah, are you too?" (even though I'm kinda offended by the term "Otaku". Like, I'm don't really collect things, nor am I that obsessed with anime or read manga). She replies with "not really, but my brother is surely one. I love watching anime + manga and collecting stuff but for certain anime tho".
So I guess we established a basis; we both like anime, okay. Iffy start but it's a start. I ask "What anime's?" And she just sends me of a picture of a PC monitor with a Kirito background. I don't know what's crazier; the fact that she sends me a picture (like, a picture. Not a screencap, a picture) of her computer monitor showing Kirito, or how fast she sent me that picture. Like, a few seconds after I asked her what anime's she liked, she sent me that picture straight up fast. Like, damn. And no, not "crazy" as in I think she's crazy, but crazy as in unbelievable; just to clarify stuff.
OK, just confirmed that it's actuay her PC monitor. The time it shows 10:34 PM, the same time I asked her about anime. Yep, lightning fast reflexes. Damn. She then tells me some of her favorite anime's being SAO (Sword Art Online), Naruto, and Watamote. And I'm like "Ohhh I love Watamote :)". You know how I watched them 12 episodes. Damn was it a good anime.
And then she explains how her she's kinda like the girl in Watamote and how her school-life is similar as well and I'm like "Yeah, me too". Like, this is a good basis so far. She's probably the only person I know who has the same, I don't know, common qualities as me when first communicating with each other. I, I don't really know how to explain it in words so, I'll leave it at that.
And then she mentions how her life is similar to the girl in Watamote and how her school-life is similar as well. I'm like " Me too". And then we were talking about ehhh, some anime's and soon I did the bootleg "So what did you do today", sticking with my usual vocabulary, inlcuding "So, well, anyways, like, and I guess". She's like " I had fun today in Art club" and sends me a picture of her and her friend and I'm just glad that there wasn't a clock in that picture reading 10:38 otherwise I'd be really freaked out.
We then talked about what clubs we joined and I mentioned Korean Dance Team and she was like "Oh you like dancing, I didn't know that :))". And I was ehhhh, but she was like "Hope to see you dancing at the VSA show" and I'm like "Hehe, yeah". And because how I was going to play a League game at that tine (yes, League game at 10:30 PM), I had to stop replying for about, 30 minutes. Aaand she probably went to sleep at that time and so she did reply to me until this morning and I was like " So what are you gonna do today?"
You know, that sounds a lot like a children's show. Like, a few talking pickup truck going "What are YOU going to do today?" So she was like "Gonna play with my bro today. I mean now. Talk to you layer, do sth fun today~". And I didn't find out what "sth" meant until just now. It's short for "something". And all that time, I thought it was a club. Anyways, it's 2:21 AM and I had to re-do some parts of this post because it doesn't necessarily always auto save on mobile devices.
Oh and uh, I finished editing the video of my group's skit video for Chinese class. God, was it a hassle. Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow. Watch my chemistry teacher change seats on Monday, 'cause he changes seats every 3 weeks or so I guess. Watch, just watch, he'll do it right when I get comfortable taking to Yn.

Songs to Remember: Every Little Step - Bobby Brown
I can't believe my freshman buddy from KDT hooked up with this girl who's a junior. Damn dood. It's even "Facenovel official". Keep it going.
Alright, well World History is so boring, I forget what I actually did today for it. Oh right, we went to the auditorium for Sophomore orientation. Oh, so sophomore actually get an orientation? What for? So apparently every World History class has to go to the theater for orientation for the sophomores.
They talked about colleges, graduation requirement, counseling, etc, etc. Like, nobody has time to go see their counselor. Heck, I should be doing my homework, buuut it's kinda late, I don't work well when I'm tired (about 60% of the time) and I could always just do it tomorrow when I'm not tired. So yeah, they basically just told us about all this stuff and financial aids and scholarships and I'm like "I'm only 15, I gotta make a decision on what I wanna be in life right now?" Like, no one knows. It's total bs.
Our English teacher wasn't here today, nor will she tomorrow, and so we had a sub aaand apparently our English teacher (not the sub) thought that all English II classes are to go to the orientation, but it's actually the World History classes solo we got a free period. Oh my god, yes. I usually do my work well when given time at school, since I got nothing' better to do. At home, it's another story.
Alright, I finally finished that Chemistry homework. It's 1:12 AM right now, gonna be pretty tired tomorrow 'cause I got to dance and all that. And uh, yeah. As I was saying, for Chemistry we just put different types of liquids in a manometer and measured the vapor pressure and stuff. Tomorrow's the last day of Volleyball and after that, we get to switch to a new sport for the next 6 weeks. Thank the lord, get me out of here.
OK, so I took the test today for Algebra II/ Trig, and, I gotta say it was ehh. It's 60 points in total, with 15 questions so that makes it 4 points each question. I did not get to finish 2 questions, so, the best I could get is a 52/60, which, I'd be totally fine with. But I doubt I'd even get a score close to that. My friend told me how his buddy (whom I know for being pretty smart) passed the class, but with a D, and I was like "Oh my god, now that's scary". Like, if that dude passes but with a D, then for me, it's ehhhhh pretty slim chance.
And for Chinese, we're recording a skit tomorrow. After school, I had to go take this practic test or whatever in order to get extra-credit. There was a time limit of 30 minutes and to just finish as much as we could. If we didn't know a question, skip it. The test had some gnarly questions though. There was calculus stuff in there. All in all, I think I got at least 30 points. 30 points or more on that practice test and I get 5 extra-credit points toward my test. And you know I gotta do whatever in order to pass this class with an okay grade.
Anyways, tomorrow I gotta dance for 2 hours after school, work on some unfinished English work, discuss with El about the movie on Saturday, and uh, just whatever. I'm tired now, gonna go to sleep. See you tomorrow.

Wednesday, September 24, 2014
Week: 6
Songs to Remember: What Can I Do - Seungri
I've never really fallen asleep in any of my classes. Until this school-year that is. I have been up all night doing homework and that's probably what's causing me to close my eyes during a few of my classes. Yesterday I actually fell asleep in the car. Well, only for like half a second 'cause like, my head's going down and that woke me up. You get what I'm saying.
And the past few days, I got a lot of work so, I didn't really post anything much. But now I'm taking the time to post this as an update, and then get on to work. So, let's get on with it. World History, pretty boring. Yesterday we watched Dr. Seuss's "Yertle the Turtle". Or was it today? You see, I'm so tired in the morning I can't even remember anymore.
We watched it 'cause it had to do with like a monarchy and stuff and yeah. We're currently learning about early European governments like King Louis XIV's era and all that, leading up to the French revolution. And umm, yeah. As long as we don't do any projects for a while (group projects that is), then I'll be okay with it. So next class, English. Yesterday the teacher was pissed off 'cause barely anybody did the homework, which was to look up the academy of France and Cardinal Richelieu (the words "Cardinal Richelieu" reminds me of plague doctors and their masks. I don't know why).
I guess that barely anyone did the homework 'cause they all that everyone else was gonna do it and they'd do all the talking for the discussion on it. In my defense, I did look em' up. I thought we just had to know the general stuff of the academy of France and the cardinal, but not like how the cardinal grew up and stuff. So the teacher was pissed, ranted for a little bit, everyone was silent, and we continued reading our book "Cyrano de Bergerac". It's a play by the way, and in the first few pages, a lot s***'s happening.
So uh, the girl who sits next to me in Chemistry, I've been trying to converse with her since she's been sitting next to me for like, 3 weeks, and we haven't really talked much, except for those times like "Can I see what you have for last night's homework?" and stuff like that. Mr. Sales changes seats every 3 weeks and of course, I choose now to start talking. We'll call her Yn for now.
Yesterday we had to bring in cans of soda (empty by the way) to class so we can use them in this vapor-pressure experiment. You know, like the thing where you heat up a soda can with a bit of water in it, pressure and heat builds up, the dunk it upside down in a bowl of ice-water and the can just collapses on itself. So we were in class yesterday with our cans, we're sitting at our desks, and I see some other people drinking their cans of soda, along with empty ones. I, wanting to be safe, brought in an un-opened 7up can, thinking "Oh, maybe we need it with the soda in it still". Nope.
We needed an empty can so I had to chug it all down. And boy, did I have to use the restroom in 4th period. We didn't do the vapor-pressure experiment yesterday since we didn't have enough time so we did it today. Oh and uh, instead of walking out the classroom with Yue, I walked out with Yn instead and I was like "So, what class do you have next?" and she's like "AP Digital Art" or something like that, I don't remember the exact name, but I knew it was an AP art something.
And I was like "Oh, is it a hard class?" and she's like "Yeah, pretty hard". She wasn't born in America by the way, she was from Vietnam and so she has this slight accent, just like Yue. And so she asks me "What class do you have next?" and I'm like "P.E. I'm doing Volleyball currently" and she's like "Oh, I don't really like P.E" and I'm like "Yeah, me neither" And she's like "Have you done badminton? I really like badminton" and I'm like "Yeah, I did it last year. I'm hoping to do it after Volleyball".
And then she asks me "Are you a sophomore?" and I'm like "Yeah" and then I ask "What about you?" and she's like "I'm a junior". And I was just like "*sigh* How many times are you going to do this to me life? Why?" I swear if the next time I converse with a female classmate and she's a high grade than me, I will just, just, sigh. A really big sigh.
Anyways, we did the vapor-pressure experiment lab thing today. We filled up each can with 45 milliliters of water, then heated em' on a hot-plate. After they were steaming, I submerged my fingers in cold water for about a minute, then quickly grabbed a can and dunked it upside down into the ice-cold water and it was like "Sploosh", and like, the can crushed down and yeah. It was pretty cool, Yue and her friends decided to record and take some pictures of the whole thing. Even I took pictures and I'm like "Hey, I should be doing this more often".
And so yesterday we did the rally test for Vollleyball. My partner and I rallied for like 10 minutes straight, I was tired and sweating like a mother******, and our highest rally was actually 18. But that was just practice, and when we actually did the test (we got 2 tries), we rallied only 9 times (required number was 10), and so we ultimately failed. It's a pass or fail so, yeah. I blame P.E.
Today we got our binders back in Algebra II/ Trig. I was hoping for a good score, I was like "Okay, okay, no worries, let's see what ya got Drew". I opened up my binder and bam, it's like a 40 or a 50. I can't really tell 'cause she scribbled it out, but kept it there as the only score, so I'm guessing a 50? She wrote "ok" so I guess I was okay. Anyways, the lesson today was on polynomials and monomials and all that stuff. I actually understand it and finished a lot of questions. I'm guessing word problems ain't my thing, but a given equation? Yeah, I'm fine with it. Just straight up equations to solve and I'll be good.
And for Chinese class, we just did the usual, just, Chinese. Our homework today was to record ourselves saying the vocabulary and sentences and stuff in Chinese. El and I have our usual walk-home route together (do I use the word "together"?). And uh, on this Saturday, she's planning to go see "The Maze Runner" and she made the event on Facenovel and so far, only like me and her are going. No one else seems to really be going. Soooo, I guess it'll just be the two of us? Inb4 a whole mob comes storming in the theaters.
So, I think that's all I wanted to say for right now. Progress reports are coming next week, I got English work due next week, as well as I gotta study for the math test tomorrow, as well as I have to stay after school to do a 100-question math quiz (non-graded) for like, I don't know, a school-wide research or whatever. If I get at least 30 right, I get 5 extra-credit points for my test. I'm not sure whether I should scared because of how difficult it might be since we only have to get 30 correct, or the fact that it might be a free-response. Well, at least it's not graded.
Sooo, I guess I'll end it here then. I always think of so much stuff I want to say, but when I start writing the post, suddenly most of it all slips my mind. Also, this calendar app I'm using, called "Jorte", is seriously making organizing work a lot easier. Helps remind me by making the notifications seem like Facenovel notifications and I'm reluctant to see em', only to find out that they're reminders I set up for myself.
Well, I gotta go study my sanity out, so I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be praying that I get at least a B on the test. Ohhhhhh please based math god.

I have been up all night doing homework and that's probably what's causing me to close my eyes during a few of my classes. Yesterday I actually fell asleep in the car. Well, only for like half a second 'cause like, my head's going down and that woke me up. You get what I'm saying.
And the past few days, I got a lot of work so, I didn't really post anything much. But now I'm taking the time to post this as an update, and then get on to work. So, let's get on with it. World History, pretty boring. Yesterday we watched Dr. Seuss's "Yertle the Turtle". Or was it today? You see, I'm so tired in the morning I can't even remember anymore.
We watched it 'cause it had to do with like a monarchy and stuff and yeah. We're currently learning about early European governments like King Louis XIV's era and all that, leading up to the French revolution. And umm, yeah. As long as we don't do any projects for a while (group projects that is), then I'll be okay with it. So next class, English. Yesterday the teacher was pissed off 'cause barely anybody did the homework, which was to look up the academy of France and Cardinal Richelieu (the words "Cardinal Richelieu" reminds me of plague doctors and their masks. I don't know why).
I guess that barely anyone did the homework 'cause they all that everyone else was gonna do it and they'd do all the talking for the discussion on it. In my defense, I did look em' up. I thought we just had to know the general stuff of the academy of France and the cardinal, but not like how the cardinal grew up and stuff. So the teacher was pissed, ranted for a little bit, everyone was silent, and we continued reading our book "Cyrano de Bergerac". It's a play by the way, and in the first few pages, a lot s***'s happening.
So uh, the girl who sits next to me in Chemistry, I've been trying to converse with her since she's been sitting next to me for like, 3 weeks, and we haven't really talked much, except for those times like "Can I see what you have for last night's homework?" and stuff like that. Mr. Sales changes seats every 3 weeks and of course, I choose now to start talking. We'll call her Yn for now.
Yesterday we had to bring in cans of soda (empty by the way) to class so we can use them in this vapor-pressure experiment. You know, like the thing where you heat up a soda can with a bit of water in it, pressure and heat builds up, the dunk it upside down in a bowl of ice-water and the can just collapses on itself. So we were in class yesterday with our cans, we're sitting at our desks, and I see some other people drinking their cans of soda, along with empty ones. I, wanting to be safe, brought in an un-opened 7up can, thinking "Oh, maybe we need it with the soda in it still". Nope.
We needed an empty can so I had to chug it all down. And boy, did I have to use the restroom in 4th period. We didn't do the vapor-pressure experiment yesterday since we didn't have enough time so we did it today. Oh and uh, instead of walking out the classroom with Yue, I walked out with Yn instead and I was like "So, what class do you have next?" and she's like "AP Digital Art" or something like that, I don't remember the exact name, but I knew it was an AP art something.
And I was like "Oh, is it a hard class?" and she's like "Yeah, pretty hard". She wasn't born in America by the way, she was from Vietnam and so she has this slight accent, just like Yue. And so she asks me "What class do you have next?" and I'm like "P.E. I'm doing Volleyball currently" and she's like "Oh, I don't really like P.E" and I'm like "Yeah, me neither" And she's like "Have you done badminton? I really like badminton" and I'm like "Yeah, I did it last year. I'm hoping to do it after Volleyball".
And then she asks me "Are you a sophomore?" and I'm like "Yeah" and then I ask "What about you?" and she's like "I'm a junior". And I was just like "*sigh* How many times are you going to do this to me life? Why?" I swear if the next time I converse with a female classmate and she's a high grade than me, I will just, just, sigh. A really big sigh.
Anyways, we did the vapor-pressure experiment lab thing today. We filled up each can with 45 milliliters of water, then heated em' on a hot-plate. After they were steaming, I submerged my fingers in cold water for about a minute, then quickly grabbed a can and dunked it upside down into the ice-cold water and it was like "Sploosh", and like, the can crushed down and yeah. It was pretty cool, Yue and her friends decided to record and take some pictures of the whole thing. Even I took pictures and I'm like "Hey, I should be doing this more often".
And so yesterday we did the rally test for Vollleyball. My partner and I rallied for like 10 minutes straight, I was tired and sweating like a mother******, and our highest rally was actually 18. But that was just practice, and when we actually did the test (we got 2 tries), we rallied only 9 times (required number was 10), and so we ultimately failed. It's a pass or fail so, yeah. I blame P.E.
Today we got our binders back in Algebra II/ Trig. I was hoping for a good score, I was like "Okay, okay, no worries, let's see what ya got Drew". I opened up my binder and bam, it's like a 40 or a 50. I can't really tell 'cause she scribbled it out, but kept it there as the only score, so I'm guessing a 50? She wrote "ok" so I guess I was okay. Anyways, the lesson today was on polynomials and monomials and all that stuff. I actually understand it and finished a lot of questions. I'm guessing word problems ain't my thing, but a given equation? Yeah, I'm fine with it. Just straight up equations to solve and I'll be good.
And for Chinese class, we just did the usual, just, Chinese. Our homework today was to record ourselves saying the vocabulary and sentences and stuff in Chinese. El and I have our usual walk-home route together (do I use the word "together"?). And uh, on this Saturday, she's planning to go see "The Maze Runner" and she made the event on Facenovel and so far, only like me and her are going. No one else seems to really be going. Soooo, I guess it'll just be the two of us? Inb4 a whole mob comes storming in the theaters.
So, I think that's all I wanted to say for right now. Progress reports are coming next week, I got English work due next week, as well as I gotta study for the math test tomorrow, as well as I have to stay after school to do a 100-question math quiz (non-graded) for like, I don't know, a school-wide research or whatever. If I get at least 30 right, I get 5 extra-credit points for my test. I'm not sure whether I should scared because of how difficult it might be since we only have to get 30 correct, or the fact that it might be a free-response. Well, at least it's not graded.
Sooo, I guess I'll end it here then. I always think of so much stuff I want to say, but when I start writing the post, suddenly most of it all slips my mind. Also, this calendar app I'm using, called "Jorte", is seriously making organizing work a lot easier. Helps remind me by making the notifications seem like Facenovel notifications and I'm reluctant to see em', only to find out that they're reminders I set up for myself.
Well, I gotta go study my sanity out, so I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be praying that I get at least a B on the test. Ohhhhhh please based math god.
Yeah here's a picture of the crushed cans after the experiment.

Songs to Remember: Again and Again - 2PM
Right now, I am so tired I just want to bury my head in my pillow and just go to sleep. But of course, I still got work to do so. I mean, other times, I stay up and watch stuff at times when I'm not sleepy. And when I am, I got work to do. You get what I mean?
Alright, well I haven't really gotten much time to make any real posts since I've been so busy with work, including over the weekends. I don't see how someone can survive doing clubs, AP classes, and extracurricular stuff. Like, do they even get enough oxygen from being buried in papers everyday? Anyways, onto the boring stuff.
World History, we had to write an essay in class today, talking 'bout our ideal government. Pretty easy, one-pager, on the Chromebooks, just the way I like it. Chemistry, we also got a test today. I thought it was pretty easy, considering we were allowed to use a cheat-sheet on it, but, as I was too focused on this one question, time was running out, I check to make sure I did everything, I see that I forgot a page, and I'm like "F***". Only until about 2 minutes left of class do I find out I forgot to do a page, and it was all word problems too. F***. I got about 2/3 of the page done so, ehhhh. I'm probably gonna get an A- if I get everything else right. If not, then a B+ would suffice.
P.E, ehhhh. Enough said. Oh and uh, during break-tim today, El went on by and gave me a letter. Like, it was a card, in an envelope type of letter, not like a letter Lind of letter. I was like " Oh, thanks". Then I thought "Wait, what is this?". So I opened it and I was like "Yep, it's for El's birthday party. And it's in October 20-something. Good to let people know in advance". It's supposed to be at the San Jose ice-skating place and I'm just like " F***, it's gonna be cold. And ew, ice-skating, but if it's for El, then fine".
She even left her phone number in there some I'm like "Does this count as getting a girl's number?" Ehhh. Anyways, I find it pretty cool that she individually made her invitations, let alone do invitations at all. Like, I don't know nobody who does cards invitations anymore. It's all just online now. I'm even more surprised that she remembered to invite me so like, yaaay. Now that's the s*** I like.
Anyways, binder check tomorrow for math. Yeah that's right, grades not only depend on whether you understand or follow her rules, but you also got to have your binder the exact way she wants it. Like, this is not an AP class, there's not really a need for a separate binder. Also, grading someone in a math class based on how they organize their work. Yeah I don't like it. No one does. It's BS. Like, what's more bulls****y than your parents asking you "Why you fail Algebra II/Trig?" and you reply with "My binder wasn't arranged the way the teacher wanted."
Chinese class, we learned Chinese. There you have it. El talked about how she read this one manga about rabbits finding a fox before it kills them all. And I thought I had read it all. Just kidding, I don't read books very often. I do read articles and stories though, and that's good enough for me. Anyways, I got to go back to work. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Wake Me Up - Avicii
So I'm no going to be writing much for this one 'cause I got to finish my math homework. It's 1:59 AM as I've typed this, and I'm probably gonna go for about, I don't know, until 3:00 AM.
I am doing nothing but work on homework. And it is a lot of homework for me. I know other people are taking even harder classes like Honors chemistry and AP World History, but for someone in my position right now, it would seem like a lot of work.
I'll just explain some stories from today and I'll get back to work. So in Chemistry, this one girl's iPhone goes off, with that Sir I button sound thing. Like, why do you even have the volume turned up? Why is it not on mute? This girl's sitting like 3 seats away from me by the way. She tried to turn it off or whatever and then her phone just announces to the whole class "Now using iPhone voice control" and Mr. Sales' face is just like "Really? You can't just press the mute button? How does someone accidently turn on Siri anyway?".
Mr. Sales, my chemistry teacher, is pretty cool. I like how his sense of humor is similar to our generation's. During the crustal lab from yesterday, when we were being our pipe cleaners into a shape we wanted, he was like " And no phallic shapes either. Last year one of my students made it into the shape of a pen1s. When I asked him about it, he said it was a submarine. So please, no phallic shapes please". And I'm just like "Boot, to the leg".
Oh and he also asks us individually if we have any concerns or problems or if we don't know what to do or anything. He literally asks us all invidually. He goes to each person and specifically asks them " Do you have a question? Do you need any help?" Like, I never had a teacher who individually went to each student and asked if they needed help. I like that. Makes me like science more and more everyday.
So I guess that's about it for now, I gotta go back to work. See you tomorrow. Or actually, see you, uhhh, yeah, see you tomorrow I guess.

Thursday, September 18, 2014 "Let's Dance, as Well as Another Chance."
Thursday, September 18, 2014
Week: 5
Songs to Remember: Fever - HALO
So I guess I was getting a little taste of what is to come. Today. I danced for the first time (actual dance) along with staying up until, well, now (which is about 1:34 AM as I'm writing this) to finish up homework.
Word History, the discussion today was bootleg. The teacher randomly brought in cookies (one for each person) for the discussion. The discussion was pretty bootleg, pretty awkward. We all sat like, in a circle, and with our team members behind us, kinda like a sun formation thingy. We introduced ourselves (as the person we're acting as) and then we ask and receive questions from other people. Went pretty bad, this one girl on another team was asked a question and she didn't even look up from her phone while texting. Blatantly out in the open too, like, everyone saw it.
The girl didn't even know that people were paying attention to her texting. The teacher was like "Whatever" and just wrote in her notebook or whatever like "Note to self, better give this girl an F". After the period was over, the teacher was like " This wasn't very good guys, next time I expect it to be better" and I'm like "F***, there's a next time? You mean there's going to be more group projects like this? F***".
So today we listened to Romanticism music in English and the teacher had us just doodle or write what we we're thinking about while listening the to the music. The romanticism music is like those orchestra type songs, composed by a Russian dude in South Korea. When people shared out their ideas, this one person was like " It reminded me of Tom and Jerry" and I was like "Woah, no way, I wrote down Tom and Jerry too". Like, I found it pretty crazy. Also I wrote down a bunch of random thoughts, kinda like how I'm doing right now.
For chemistry, we started a lab today where we started to make CRYSTALS. I was like "YOOO, I love crystals". Crystals, gems, and shiny rocks are probably one of the main reasons why at one point I wanted to become a geologist. I still kinda actually, since I'm leaning more towards a science-y sort of career. If not, I'll just do like, business-y type stuff instead.
So anyways, we did a procedure for that simple borax crystal experiment. You know, the one where you get an object, tie it to a string, then submerge it into a water, borax, and food coloring solution. Then wait a few days then voila, some crystals. Yeah that one. During the part where we had to pour molten hot water into our cups, the beakers of water were sitting on the hot-plate, boiling. Our teacher came over, stuck his index finder in it, I hear f***ing sizzling from that, and the teacher's like " Yep, it's hot enough. You can start pouring it in now". And I'm just like "HOLY F***". Like," I HAVE NEVER HAD A GREAT TEACHER AS THIS. THEY STICK THEIR FINGER IN BOILING HOT WATER AND DOESN'T EVEN FLINCH. OH MY GOD, THIS IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL OF BOOTLEG".
Actually, now that I think about it, he probably did some science-y stuff to prevent himself from actually feeling any pain. Like from that one video from NurdRage, demonstrating the Leidenfrost effect by sticking his hand in liquid nitrogen. Pretty cool. Anyways, uh, yeah. Mr. Sales (again, not his real name), on of the most bootleg teachers I've ever had. I love it.
We took the Volleyball test today, pretty easy. We then played with our teams from 2 days ago, and uh, yeah. That's about it. I thought tomorrow is going to be the last day of Volleyball before we switch to a new sport on Monday. Turns out, there's still one more week. I thought it'd end on the ending of the 5th week, actually is on the end of the 6th week. Actually is Dolan.
And, I get my test back from math class, I look at my score as I get it, and I suddenly feel depressed. But before I dive in on this, I'd like to tell you a story today. So during math class, the teacher's up in the front and calling people up to get their test scores back. She calls up this one dude, he takes his paper like in a swiping motion, like a "Give me that!" sorta way. You get what I mean. He turns his back and walks back towards his desk, only to be called by the teacher "Give me the rest back". The dude goes back and hands her back the test and goes back to his desk.
The teacher then explains how she works so hard grading tests and that people should receive the tests with both hands and with respect. I was like "Damn dude, learn some respect". Like, daaaamn, did that dude get rekt. Anwyays, back to what I was saying. So I look at my score, it's a- oh and there's another I want to tell too. Don't worry. It'll be quick. So when the other acher announced that we're getting our tests back, this one girl whispered " Oh s***". And like, she whispered it so loud o don't even think it's even considered a whisper anymore. Like, she was on the other side of the room from me, and I si to the far left.
The T.A even heard it and he's like "Language!" I'm like "Damn girl, that was one loud whisper". Like. I know you wan to express your enthusiasm, but at least I know not to say it aloud. Okay, I think I'm done with stories for now. I'll continue on. So I look at my test and it's a f***ing 22 out of 50. Yeah you heard me. I got an F on my math test, the first one since about, I do know, I can't even remember. That's how often I get F's on my math tests. Or even, F's on tests in general. Also, i type in math and it auto-corected one time to "life". Yeah, math really is love, math really is life.
So I'm just sitting there, looking at my test, I'm covering it a bit so people wouldn't see my score. I look at the girl in front of me's score. She got a 47 and I'm like "F***". Then the teacher just announces " This girl got a 100%. Everybody give her a round of applause", and in just like "F***". I was considering about yelling "F***" real loud in class. That's how crazy my score drove me. I just don't get it.
I show my work, I show the correct formats, structure, but I get the answer wrong and nope, no partial credit for me. Just, pffft. Lose the full points. Way to degrade your students. Announcing to everyone in the class that a person got a 100%. ONE person. Might as well just announce my score and be like "Ooooohh, try harder next time". She keeps on saying how we're going to do better next time and I'm like "I'm in no mood for philosphical teachings right now. I want to get my B's and A's back".
I coukd just talk to my counselor and drop out and just go to regular Algebra II and take the easy way out. But i won't, 'cause I'm not actually a quitter. And so I've decided to give myself one more chance. If I don't get at least a B in this next test, I'll definitely go see my old Geometry teacher and see if he can help me. I've got a weekend to study before I take the Chapter 3 Test, so, hopefully I won't have to take the quitter's way out.
And for Chinese class, we made bookmarks. Ehhhh. And when class ended, I walked with El and I was like " I gotta go to the KDT meeting, see ya". There's already a few people there, one of which is Is. Everyone seems to know each other and I'm just whatever. I don't see my buddy yet. And so I go inside, it's a dance room by the way and my buddy shows up. I made a friend with this one freshman dude. I mistake him for a Junior or something. Him, my buddy, and I become like this group.
We started off with an "ice-creaker" to learn eachother's names better. Then we stretched, and just got right into it. The song of course was "Hoot" by SNSD. Oh my gosh, pretty difficult. It's 'cause my brain's not used to like, the left and right, turn aspect of dancing and moving my body to be synced to a set of memorized moves. The beginning was a bit confusing, then it go easier, then okay, and then confusing with the feet part while shooting the bow. You can look up the dance for yourself to see what I'm talking about.
As we were prsctcing, some people left early and some just did their homework and I was like "Wow, why bother coming here if you're not going to participate. F***ing, I didn't come here to waste 2 hours of my precious homework time". And uh, yeah. We took a group picture in the end and I went home. Stayed up pretty late tonight finishing up that plagiarism project (my part at least), as well as my math, chemistry, and more English honework. And here I am typing on my phone at 2:33 AM. Ho-ly, f***.
Basically staying up at night, finishing honework, it's really just preparation for college. It's a simple 3 step process- Work, Study, and stay awake for as long as possible. If you sleep too much, you dont want to make it a habit. Soon youll be sleeping in class, and that ain't good. So I gotta go pee, umm, I'll see you tomorrow then. Uhhh, bye for now.

So today we listened to Romanticism music in English and the teacher had us just doodle or write what we we're thinking about while listening the to the music. The romanticism music is like those orchestra type songs, composed by a Russian dude in South Korea. When people shared out their ideas, this one person was like " It reminded me of Tom and Jerry" and I was like "Woah, no way, I wrote down Tom and Jerry too". Like, I found it pretty crazy. Also I wrote down a bunch of random thoughts, kinda like how I'm doing right now.
For chemistry, we started a lab today where we started to make CRYSTALS. I was like "YOOO, I love crystals". Crystals, gems, and shiny rocks are probably one of the main reasons why at one point I wanted to become a geologist. I still kinda actually, since I'm leaning more towards a science-y sort of career. If not, I'll just do like, business-y type stuff instead.
So anyways, we did a procedure for that simple borax crystal experiment. You know, the one where you get an object, tie it to a string, then submerge it into a water, borax, and food coloring solution. Then wait a few days then voila, some crystals. Yeah that one. During the part where we had to pour molten hot water into our cups, the beakers of water were sitting on the hot-plate, boiling. Our teacher came over, stuck his index finder in it, I hear f***ing sizzling from that, and the teacher's like " Yep, it's hot enough. You can start pouring it in now". And I'm just like "HOLY F***". Like," I HAVE NEVER HAD A GREAT TEACHER AS THIS. THEY STICK THEIR FINGER IN BOILING HOT WATER AND DOESN'T EVEN FLINCH. OH MY GOD, THIS IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL OF BOOTLEG".
Actually, now that I think about it, he probably did some science-y stuff to prevent himself from actually feeling any pain. Like from that one video from NurdRage, demonstrating the Leidenfrost effect by sticking his hand in liquid nitrogen. Pretty cool. Anyways, uh, yeah. Mr. Sales (again, not his real name), on of the most bootleg teachers I've ever had. I love it.
We took the Volleyball test today, pretty easy. We then played with our teams from 2 days ago, and uh, yeah. That's about it. I thought tomorrow is going to be the last day of Volleyball before we switch to a new sport on Monday. Turns out, there's still one more week. I thought it'd end on the ending of the 5th week, actually is on the end of the 6th week. Actually is Dolan.
And, I get my test back from math class, I look at my score as I get it, and I suddenly feel depressed. But before I dive in on this, I'd like to tell you a story today. So during math class, the teacher's up in the front and calling people up to get their test scores back. She calls up this one dude, he takes his paper like in a swiping motion, like a "Give me that!" sorta way. You get what I mean. He turns his back and walks back towards his desk, only to be called by the teacher "Give me the rest back". The dude goes back and hands her back the test and goes back to his desk.
The teacher then explains how she works so hard grading tests and that people should receive the tests with both hands and with respect. I was like "Damn dude, learn some respect". Like, daaaamn, did that dude get rekt. Anwyays, back to what I was saying. So I look at my score, it's a- oh and there's another I want to tell too. Don't worry. It'll be quick. So when the other acher announced that we're getting our tests back, this one girl whispered " Oh s***". And like, she whispered it so loud o don't even think it's even considered a whisper anymore. Like, she was on the other side of the room from me, and I si to the far left.
The T.A even heard it and he's like "Language!" I'm like "Damn girl, that was one loud whisper". Like. I know you wan to express your enthusiasm, but at least I know not to say it aloud. Okay, I think I'm done with stories for now. I'll continue on. So I look at my test and it's a f***ing 22 out of 50. Yeah you heard me. I got an F on my math test, the first one since about, I do know, I can't even remember. That's how often I get F's on my math tests. Or even, F's on tests in general. Also, i type in math and it auto-corected one time to "life". Yeah, math really is love, math really is life.
So I'm just sitting there, looking at my test, I'm covering it a bit so people wouldn't see my score. I look at the girl in front of me's score. She got a 47 and I'm like "F***". Then the teacher just announces " This girl got a 100%. Everybody give her a round of applause", and in just like "F***". I was considering about yelling "F***" real loud in class. That's how crazy my score drove me. I just don't get it.
I show my work, I show the correct formats, structure, but I get the answer wrong and nope, no partial credit for me. Just, pffft. Lose the full points. Way to degrade your students. Announcing to everyone in the class that a person got a 100%. ONE person. Might as well just announce my score and be like "Ooooohh, try harder next time". She keeps on saying how we're going to do better next time and I'm like "I'm in no mood for philosphical teachings right now. I want to get my B's and A's back".
I coukd just talk to my counselor and drop out and just go to regular Algebra II and take the easy way out. But i won't, 'cause I'm not actually a quitter. And so I've decided to give myself one more chance. If I don't get at least a B in this next test, I'll definitely go see my old Geometry teacher and see if he can help me. I've got a weekend to study before I take the Chapter 3 Test, so, hopefully I won't have to take the quitter's way out.
And for Chinese class, we made bookmarks. Ehhhh. And when class ended, I walked with El and I was like " I gotta go to the KDT meeting, see ya". There's already a few people there, one of which is Is. Everyone seems to know each other and I'm just whatever. I don't see my buddy yet. And so I go inside, it's a dance room by the way and my buddy shows up. I made a friend with this one freshman dude. I mistake him for a Junior or something. Him, my buddy, and I become like this group.
We started off with an "ice-creaker" to learn eachother's names better. Then we stretched, and just got right into it. The song of course was "Hoot" by SNSD. Oh my gosh, pretty difficult. It's 'cause my brain's not used to like, the left and right, turn aspect of dancing and moving my body to be synced to a set of memorized moves. The beginning was a bit confusing, then it go easier, then okay, and then confusing with the feet part while shooting the bow. You can look up the dance for yourself to see what I'm talking about.
As we were prsctcing, some people left early and some just did their homework and I was like "Wow, why bother coming here if you're not going to participate. F***ing, I didn't come here to waste 2 hours of my precious homework time". And uh, yeah. We took a group picture in the end and I went home. Stayed up pretty late tonight finishing up that plagiarism project (my part at least), as well as my math, chemistry, and more English honework. And here I am typing on my phone at 2:33 AM. Ho-ly, f***.
Basically staying up at night, finishing honework, it's really just preparation for college. It's a simple 3 step process- Work, Study, and stay awake for as long as possible. If you sleep too much, you dont want to make it a habit. Soon youll be sleeping in class, and that ain't good. So I gotta go pee, umm, I'll see you tomorrow then. Uhhh, bye for now.

Wednesday, September 17, 2014 "I Guess You Can Say I Got A Lot of Work to Do."
Wednesday, September 17, 2014
Week: 5
Songs to Remember: Brazilian Thought - Dr. Who Dat
Can people stop hugging others infront of me? It makes me uncomfortable. And with mixed emotions.
As I need to get to studying and almost forgot to write something for today, I'll make this sorta quick, 'cause like, it's 11:20 PM as of right now and I need to study myself to sleep.
World History, discussion tomorrow, I have a feeling that it is going to go to s*** horribly, kinda like how that mock-trial went last year in English class. English, I took the vocabulary quiz today. Not that difficult, but still challenging even for a multiple choice. I got a 21 out of 26 and I was like "Wow, why can't I get these kind of scores for math?" And then I was like "Oh right, 'cause math".
Chemistry was eh. We took notes, went over the homework, that's it. P.E, the teacher tells us to line up in our teams from yesterday. I thought it was our new team from yesterday so I just sat down behind that one girl who wanted me on her team. I was then like "Oh, the teacher meant the picked teams from yesterday". I was going to go back to my old team but then the girl was like "Shhh, it's okay, just stay here". I'm guessing she really wanted me on her team.
We were getting ready to play, and then my old team was like "Yo, get over here". And I was like "S***, what do I do" and the girl's like "Just stay here" and my old team was like "Come here" and I went over and I was like "Hey is it okay if I were to play for that team?" And the semi-swole team leader dude was like "But, you're on our team" and I was likewhatever 'cause they obviously weren't going to start without me so, whatever. We won due to this dude on our team with his OP serves.
Aaand I did more math today. The teacher told us some of her stories in college about how one time, back in her days, she would use the payphone to call her mom and coins just started spewing from the payphone and she just got all of em' and brought it into a police station being like "Umm, these were all from the payphone, they just, came out". Now those were some bootleg college days. I guess the story relates to the lesson today or something. And the fire alarm accidebtly went off today in class, going on for a few minutes aaand yeah.
So in Chinese day I had to present my research paper which I wrote last night. My group nominated me so I didn't really have much of a choice. I was like " F*** it" and just went up there. Good thing I had a whatever attitude 'cause that helped me get through the whole thing. The teacher was like "The is the best presentation this whole period" and I was like "Alright okay, n bad Drew, not bad. Just, stop sweating please".
All righty, well I got dance practice tomorrow for about 2 hours, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM and uh, yeah. Also I have yet to even put anyhow ng onto the Prezi presentation for my group's English Plagiarism project. And it's due Friday. Soooo, I guess you could say I got a lo of work to do.
And just remember, it's not how much you can lift, it's how good you look! I should get a suit.

Tuesday, September 16, 2014 "Work in Time."
Tuesday, September 16, 2014
Week: 5
Songs to Remember: Walking - Valentin
I'm tired. Tired from work, tired from studying, tired because the vocabulary quiz was not today (tomorrow actually), and tired from the b***s*** of how my learning process is hindered because of time. This kid on class was like "Can you please slow down". In reply, the teacher says " If I slow down, you won't have enough time for the test". Apparently you can't learn em' all, simply because of how she wants to cram a lesson and a test on the same day.
World History was boring, just me on the Chromebook and writing stuff down. My teacher knows that knowbody was near ready for the discussion tomorrow, so she's moving it to Thursday. And apparently I studied last night for nothing, 'cause I thought the vocabulary quiz was today, but is in fact tomorrow. And I got to start working on the setup d plagiarism project online. F***, more work.
Chemistry, we just finished up calculating the mass for the rest of the sand stuff, then that was it pretty much. For P.E, that one girl who was on most of my teams, she had her team captain pick me to be on their team since we were switching teams today again. Then when we play, I served fairly well for few serves and she's like "See, I told you he was good". And uh, she's a Junior probably and we won by this one girl on our team serving over and over again and the other team couldn't return it. Pretty bootleg.
My buddy and I decided not to go to the VSA club meeting today, he'll have his friend inform us about anything. I mean, they make you pay for like everything. They make you pay for doing something that's free. And, bribing people with milk teas. I have not had a milk tea in like, years. But that still won't make me participate much in the club, over a milk tea.
So the teacher was like " The quiz is very short, it will only take you about 20 minutes. And there it is again, she assuming that we are all on the same understanding level as her. She doesn't realize that we have 5 other classes, plus extracurricular activities and thinks that we only focus on math, just 'cause all she does is math. I don't see her having to remember periodic tables.
She said the test was going to be short, only about 20 minutes (with her level of understanding). She decides to do a lesson today, as well as include the test (I'm sorry, "quiz". It's still the same amount of questions as her tests). The test would take only 20 minutes, and we have a 53-minute period. So that means, only about 30 minutes would we spend on the lesson. We do 2 lessons everyday, as well as classwork, so lessons would be only about 20 minutes each. The quiz is short, lessons should only be 20 minutes, so I don't see why the teacher would rush in explaining the lesson for today.
A student raises his hand, asking "Can you please slow down". The teacher put down her pen and was said sternly " If I slow down, you won't have enough time for the test". I wish I could ask her to slow down every 5 minutes in a lesson, but I'd probably get a siliar answer. The quiz is short, and I don't really have a well-deceloped understanding off the lesson, but apparently time is more important to her than my education. I guess that's all there is to it- time.
I didn't finish my test. Didn't have enough time to do the last question. The "quiz" was the sa as a test, and it took a lo longer than a 20 minutes. Saying that a quiz is easy, short, and only takes about 20 minutes doesn't help someone prepare for it. Especially when you're calling a test a "quiz".
And Chinese class was eh. We stood in circles and rotated around, asking "May I ask of your name?" in Chinese. And she assigned a 200-word summary on a topic related to lesson 2. Pretty easy, but it's work none the less.
So I got myself a Chemistry worksheet to complete, a 200-word summary, 23 graphing problems (along with the work), along with studying for another math test and vocabulary test tomorrow. Another math test on Thursday, vocabulary quiz tomorrow. Thank the lord for my English to my English teacher having only multiple choice for the vocabulary quiz.
Oh and uh, KDT first dance practices ce on Thursday from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Plas god don't let me have too much homework on Thursday. And uh, yeah. I got a lot of work, not enough time. Anyways, I need sleep. See you tomorrow.

Song to Remember: Massage Situation - Flying Lotus
So, I forgot to write something last night. Completely skipped my mind. It happens. I also had a lot of work too. Actually, I still have a lot of work. And that is why I got to hurry and make this one quick so I can study myself to sleep tonight.
World History, boring. Moving on. English, I didn't know that the Vocabulary review was due to today. I thought it was Wednesday like usual, but then I'm like "F***, we have a vocabulary quiz this week". So I'm like "S***, do I do it now, or not". And I go with the later. I rushed it a bit, got a 15.5 out of 25, which is a C, but I'm okay with that. Last night I was considering doing the English homework, but then I'm like "Ehhh, I'm tired. I'll do it tomorrow", only to find out that it's due tomorrow. Best timing of my life, right.
For Chemistry, we continued our lab thingy. We put filter paper in the funnel, put the funnel on the flask, pour watered-down sand into the filter paper, filter out the salt-water. I thought it'd be instant, but nope. It drips, so in the meantime, we had to do some questions from the textbook. Aaand that was about it.
P.E, volleyball, we pick teams, we lost. Ehhhh, an average P.E period for Drew. So today there was the KDT (Korean Dance Team) club meeting today, which happens to be located in my Chinese classroom. I'm walking there and I see a dude from my P.E class (and Geometry class last year whom I never talked to) and he was like "Hey Drew" and I was like "Hey". I'm walking into the classroom and Js (was it Js? I think that was the name I used for her) was like "Oh Drew, you're in KDT too?" and I was like "Yeeeep".
So I go in and my buddy's like "Oh Drew, you actually made it" and I'm like "Yeah, I did". I see this girl who I played with on previous volleyball teams. I sit down and they talk about stuff, and it's like "Ehhhh, it's going better than I expected". Aaaand then the bell rings. And that was probably the most I've heard my name in a while. I have never heard that many "Drews" since, I don't know.
Algebra II/ Trigonometry. Okay, there is seriously something wrong with me. It's not the teacher, mostly it's not the teacher. Even though she applies huge pressure on everyone, she's not to blame. The culprit? Me I guess. That and word problems. F***ing word problems man. The hard part is not solving em', it's figuring out what the equation to solve is. As well as that I don't know what's wrong with me. I did so well in Geometry, now I'm barely able to keep myself from going under the ocean of failure.
Chinese, we learned some stuff, etc. So I'm at home, I get a bunch of notifications on Facenovel. El makes this event on Facenovel, inviting her friends and I to go on Saturday to watch "The Maze Runner". I have yet to watch the trailer, nor do I know anything about it (it's the first time I came across the words "The Maze Runner"). This is good. Hopefully this ain't another "Hunger Games" type movie. Aaaand I spoke toosoon.
I Skype'd my friends for about 30 minutes today and they were thinking about going to see a movie on Friday. And I'm like "It's Maze Runner, isn't it" and they're like "Yeah". And I'm like "Looks like I'll be seeing the movie twice".
So I've been watching "Off the Air" and I've gotten some nostalgia from listening to some old Adult Swim bumpers, back when I watched Adult Swim during like, 2004 to like, 2011. Apparently "Off the Air" airs at 4:00 AM on Adult Swim. I've watched a part of it once on Tv, the foods episode featuring PES's "Western Spaghetti" video. And that's how I remembered the show. But then I'm like "Wait, did I stay up that late? 4:00 AM?"
Anyways, I gotta read my English book and Math book to sleep tonight. I'll see you tomorrow.

Apparently "Off the Air" airs at 4:00 AM on Adult Swim. I've watched a part of it once on Tv, the foods episode featuring PES's "Western Spaghetti" video. And that's how I remembered the show. But then I'm like "Wait, did I stay up that late? 4:00 AM?"
Anyways, I gotta read my English book and Math book to sleep tonight. I'll see you tomorrow.

Saturday, September 13, 2014 "Pictures of Cats."
Saturday, September 13, 2014
Week: 4
Songs to Remember: Obsession - Boyfriend
God, this weekend is going smoothly. I play video games all day. But, I still got a bit of homework left, of which involves me on the internet and you know what happens when I have online homework. I get it done.
So I thought that I was done with homework, turns out I gotta finish filling out my bio for my Google site for Chinese. The teacher's making us create a website to act as sort of a portfolio of our work. We have to fill out the bio section of it, which includes having to describe ourselves in Chinese, and include 5 pictures of ourselves/ friends/ family.
My best buddy, who was in Chinese 1 last year, said he put up pictures of cats on his website. What's bootleg is that the teacher told us about it in class on Friday. She was like "You're going to have to include 5 pictures of yourself, your friends, and/ or your family. Last year, one of my students put pictures of cats".
So yeah, I played Destiny and some League of Legends. Level 16 Warlock and you can't killean the Zilean. Oh, what am I doing with my spare time? I could be researching a cure for cancer, inb4 I read this in the future and there's a cure for cancer.
Sooo I guess that's it. I expected for me to write very minimal stuff, by t apparently my thoughts on stuff is going pretty smoothly. Uhhh, I'll see you tomorrow then.

Friday, September 12, 2014 "Update Sort Of. Day Summary, Really."
Friday September 12, 2014
Week: 4
Songs to Remember: Obsession - Boyfriend
I forgot I even have a blog. I was a bit too preoccupied with Destiny and League of Legends that I didn't even remember I had to write.
My World History group SUCKS. That is all. English, we had a plagiarism quiz today. It was not multiple choice. I had to study at the last minute 'cause I forgot there was even a quiz. A test being free response and me forgetting about there being a quiz just spells out disaster. Luckily my English teacher is a bit more forgiving than another teacher which I'm not naming. She knows that this was the first quiz and most people will get s*** scores on it. So she gives partial credit if we tried and if our explanations in our answers were reasonable, along with allowing re-takes. THANK YOU BASED TEACHER FOR RE-TAKES, though I often forget when the re-takes are.
Since it's Friday, our teacher had us do a lab today, with it being continued on Monday since there won't be enough time to finish it all. We had to separate iron, sand, and salt from a mixture. We weighed the substances and like, used a magnet for the iron, aaaaand that was about it. We kinda ran of time so we're gonna have to continue it on Monday. That one girl's twin was put into our group (Yue and me). I was "Hey, I've seen you around. You have a twin sister?" It's crazy 'cause I've never actually seen or interacted with a twin before so like, it's pretty cool.
Yue kept on doing some close-up stares at me during the whole experiment. Like, I cannot focus on the work if you keep on staring through my soul with those big, brown (are they brown? I guess since it's the most common) eyes.
To save us all some time, I played Volleyball, I got hit in the face, sore right eye which would not stop activating its sprinkler system so I have to cobtually wipe I often. The borders of my glasses worsens my peripheral vision. And with all that, I thought to myself "You know, it wouldn't be so bad if I were to play Volleyball blind-folded".
Algebra II/ Trigonometry, which right now is the bane of my existence. I know how to do the homework, I do the homework, I pay attention in class (the teacher goes so f***ing fast expecting all of us to understand at the pace she understands), and I get s*** on my tests. I mean, what am I supposed to do? Today she gave out lollipops to "reward" us for working so hard. I'm like "Who do you think you are? Do you really think a lollipop will make up for the mental scarring you have done to me for the past 4 weeks? Yes, yes it might".
So for Chinese class we all logged onto this website using the Chromebooks and the teacher set up this bootleg quiz game thing which tracks people's scores and displays it on the projector. It all depends on how fast you click your answer. Basically, she puts up the question on the board, I could barely read it, and we answer multiple choice. People who answer quicker and correct get higher on the leaderboard. Pretty bootleg
Oh and uh, the seating change hasn't really affected me and El's communication. I mean, we still walk out of class together and talk while walking our routes. Apparently El goes her route to go to her locker, but goes home at my route. So uh, yeah. Getting to know each other better I guess. My buddy from the tutoring always does the same thing, he walks with this girl who goesnmy route and then walks all the way back. Today he was like " Hey Drew" and I was like "Hey Ao". He was like "So, you're gonna attend the KDT meeting on Monday right? And I'm like "Oh, right rifh". I kinda forgot about that.
And the Algebra II homework today killed me. I spent a good 2 hours on it, not even kidding. Only 21 questions, but painstakingly so much writing to show the work. And uh, it's a lot for a Sophomore in high school, Kay? Especially one who is starting to dislike math more and more everyday. I'm actually really interested in science now actually. Might be 'cause I actually am, or the fact that I'm starting to hate math and replacing it with science.
Sooo, apparently people are starting to talk about homecoming already. It's on October 11th, I believe. Ehhhhh. Homcomint is really more for the juniors and seniors. Not really much for the Sophomores and freshmen since they haven't really been here for long.
So, I played Destiny and League of Legends today. I also asked Yue and El again on what they're gonna do for the weekend. Both their answers were "sleep". Reasonable answer, I'll accept it. I got to get some sleep too actually. It's 12:20 AM. Anyways, have fun, see you tomorrow.

Thursday, September 11, 2014 "My Math Teacher's Breaking Me Down."
Thursday, September 11, 2014
Week: 4
Songs to Remember: Hip Song - Scarlet
I don't know how people can handle taking ap classes, 'cause right now, I'm sorta breaking down over the stupidity of my math teacher's "teaching".
So my World History teacher has us do another project, this time, it's a group project some I'm like "Ffffffff***, my back's gonna break from carrying my group in this project". The project's about the researching a person from the time period of the Enlightenment, and having a mock discussion with people playing the roles as those people and stuff. The teacher then tells us the 4 roles in a group and I was like " Fffffff***, there's assigned roles now? Which means someone's gonna have to do most of the work (most likely me) and someone's gonna get a free pass?"
She starts calling off peoples names for groups and I was just praying that hopefully I'd get at least one smart girl in my group so she can share most of the work with me. Aaand I'm sitting there waiting for my name to be called, aaand she doesn't call my name. Then she's like "Is there a boy that I didn't call" and I'm just like "*sigh*". Like, come on Ms. "Bugatti" as this one dude in class calls her.
So I get stuck with a not-so social girl, a delinquent who reminds me of Nasri from MAGIC!, a random girl who sits behind me, and then there's me. The roles are speaker, researcher, question-person, and introducer. Guess which one is the easiest? Introducer, of which the dude chose to do since it's the "easiest". The random girl picked to do the questions, which all you have to really do is ask questions during the whole discussion thing, then I asked the not-so social girl if she wanted to do the research or be the speaker, aaaaand she picks research, since she doesn't really good at speaking. *sigh*, f***ing group projects, man.
Why, why is there a need for group projects? Like, why have people who don't put in any effort drag down the people who do? Why. Why is the sky blue. Why?! Answer me question!
So for English, we had another discussion on plagiarism. We talked for a bit, and then the teacher put on a video for us to watch, another YouTube video on the different types of academic plagiarism, ranging from the "ghostwriter" to the "404 error" types of plagiarism. Seriously, who comes up the names for these?
The video was, pretty bootleg. It started off with like a dude pretending to be like, a public speaker person, and he's saying a whole bunch of plagiarized stuff, which, when put together, doesn't really make ant sense. Like, he's talking about cowboys, a rose without thorns, how he has a dream, I mean, he's white.
The next part was this girl who seems like the stereotypical teen girl (which, is not so stereotypical anymore, it's, kinda become a majority now) who speaks like a high-schooler (using the word "like" a lot, like me) and then somehow starts speaking like she's Obama and doing a speech. She even talked about Africa and how we got to help, on which that had nothing to do with what she was even trying to prove, which is an example of "remix" plagiarism. Ehhh, it's pretty hard to explain what's going on, you got to watch the video for yourself.
The next part was beyond bootleg, o cries a little on the inside. This part was supposed to show thus type of plagiarism where you buy your plagiarized essays. This technique is called "The Customer", and I was just like "Oh this is gonna be good. But seriously, who comes up with these names?" It started off showing this dude who looks a little bit too shady. Don't know if it's the dark sunglasses while he's standing in the shade, or his abnormal long tenchcoat.
Then this girl walks up to him and she's like "You got a 12-point double-space?" And I'm just like "What the f********". Like are code words really necessary? "12 point-double space"? Really? Beyond bootleg. Go on. And so the dude just opens up both sides of his coat like the merchant from Resident Evil 4, like "What are you buyin'?" He's like "I got what you need" and starts spewing like a whole bunch of slang words for different types of essays. And the insides of his coat are like, filled with f***ing essays clipped to his jacket. The girl's like "How much for this one?" And the dude's like "For you? 15" What, so if it was a different person he'd charge more or less? What is he world coming to?
So at the end of the video, there's this bootleg clip of this dude using a "remixed" plagiarized speech so he's talking about like, Ronald Reagan's plan, he's like "Ronald Reagan's trickle-down economics plan? What's with that? What I really want to know is when is that Berlin wall coming down, huh?! We got to get them Germans back for Pearl Harbor" and I was just like "Okay, okay, that is enough bootleged-ness for today, I'm done". Like, what? This is comedy gold. Anyways, the video is called "A Quick Guide to Plagiarism" (oh, it's a quick guide alright). It's on YouTube if you want to watch it.
So uh, chemistry was ehh. We had a sub, did a worksheet on percent mass and percent numbers, pretty relaxing period. Volleyball. Our class just outright sucks. Some of our "best" players can't even serve the balk over net. One of those people was a girl who's on the Volleyball team. Not to be negative or anything, just agreeing with what the teacher said. We all suck. I agree. We played a few more rallying practice games with new teams today. Pretty okay-ish, I guess.
Oh my god. I am seriously thinking about switching out of Algebra II/ Trig, just for the teacher. Like, her teaching does not help in our learning. She gave us back our tests today, I was pretty eager to see it KNOWING I did well. I got it back, took one look at it, slide it under my binder. A f***ing 60/80. Now yo might be thinking "But Drew, that's a C. That's still good" Yeah it's good, for a loser. I'm a f***ing B and up student. If I get C's, I'm not going anywhere. If I accept C's as good, I'll be like "Ehh, a D? That's close enough to a C, it's fine" and then the cycle continues and the next thing I know, I'm a master of the custodial arts.
The teacher marks me wrong and everybody else on the test, wrong. She deducts points for the stupidest reasons. Some people showed too much work, she thinks it doesn't make sense? Deducts points. People panic and puts equal signs at the left of every equation due to the teacher requesting evrybody puts their equal signs like that? Deducts points. People showed the work, got the answer correct, and she deducts points not for the right reasons. It's so unjustifiable.
Tests are meant to be, well, tests. They're supposed to "test" you on if you understand the lessons or not. People do, they understand, but the way they understand is not to the teacher's way that she wants people to. She also acts like this is f***ing calculus and that we're supposed to like, devote our lives into doing math. She's like "This is stuff from Algebra and Geometry, you're supposed to know this already" and I'm like "We did not learn anything close to this. The lesson does not state that it is a review of a previous math section, it's something NEW.
Towards the end of class, people were talking to each other like " Oh, I can believe I did so bad on this test! Ugh! This class is so hard!" And because a lot of people are talking, the teacher's just sitting there waiting for people to stop, and then the T.A just has to suck up for the teacher and be like "Hey! Quiet, you guys always do this!" And I'm just like "Woah, Woah, Woah, woah. Aren't you supposed to be grading papers? You took 3 years of math and decided to be a T.A? Enjoy your free period, but colleges aren't gonna even glance at how you were a T.A for a whole year.
I always see this dude on his f***ing phone, not even doing anything. He also plays his music abnormally loud, I could hear it through his earphones and im like, 2 seats away from his desk. And when people talk on class and the teacher gets pissed off and has her T.A shout to quiet everybody down, she acts like EVERYBODY's talking and threatens to take away our time for as long as people keep talking. Why do teachers do this? Falsely accusing people, man. I might just want to be a lawyer just so I cab sue for stupid s*** like this. My mother always said I'd make a good lawyer.
And so the teacher gets into this lecture about how if you do well, you won't have too much pressure, and I'm just like "Really? Really? Post-pubescent teens with 5 other classes and a semi-advanced math class with a teacher whose teaching morals are upside-down, along with extracurricular activities, clubs, social life, and worrying about what job we want for the rest of our lives and you're expecting us to not worry about any pressure if we do well on your class? I'd really like to witness that".
There is one thing that she is right about, and I'm surprised she's even right about anything, but, she said that when we talk, we don't use our minds and that is true. I don't see how people can hold conversations for so long. Probably why they're called "mind-less conversations".
Anyways, that girl I sit next to now in Chinese actually talked a bit today. Making progress I guess. We starting reading lesson 2, which focuses on asking people for their names. And, I still got work to do. Seriously, this "pressure", is breaking me down, and I'm only on the 4th week of school. If I don't get at least a B on the next test for math, I'm switching to Algebra II. I don't even care for Algebra II/ Trig. Colleges skim those semi-advanced classes abyways, they don't care if you were in Algebra II or Algebra II/ Trig.
So yeah, that was my rant on how my Algebra II/ Trig situation's going on right now. I don't mean to be derogative to my math teacher, just, that I don't appreciate her teaching abilities. What am I really saying? I could teach way better. Give me one day of teaching in her place, and grades will sky-rocket. For real. Also, she's got to stop trying to relate to us. She makes up situations like "If you don't improve your penmanship, your boyfriend or girlfriend won't be able to read your letter to them, and they'll throw it away". Like, stop.
Alright, I'm done for now. I got to get some sleep. Oh right, I'm in her class, I'm jot gonna be able to get any sleep. I'm sorry, I'm done for real now. See you tomorrow. Oh and I almost forgot. My heart goes out to all those who lost their loved ones during 9/11.

And when people talk on class and the teacher gets pissed off and has her T.A shout to quiet everybody down, she acts like EVERYBODY's talking and threatens to take away our time for as long as people keep talking. Why do teachers do this? Falsely accusing people, man. I might just want to be a lawyer just so I cab sue for stupid s*** like this. My mother always said I'd make a good lawyer.
And so the teacher gets into this lecture about how if you do well, you won't have too much pressure, and I'm just like "Really? Really? Post-pubescent teens with 5 other classes and a semi-advanced math class with a teacher whose teaching morals are upside-down, along with extracurricular activities, clubs, social life, and worrying about what job we want for the rest of our lives and you're expecting us to not worry about any pressure if we do well on your class? I'd really like to witness that".
There is one thing that she is right about, and I'm surprised she's even right about anything, but, she said that when we talk, we don't use our minds and that is true. I don't see how people can hold conversations for so long. Probably why they're called "mind-less conversations".
Anyways, that girl I sit next to now in Chinese actually talked a bit today. Making progress I guess. We starting reading lesson 2, which focuses on asking people for their names. And, I still got work to do. Seriously, this "pressure", is breaking me down, and I'm only on the 4th week of school. If I don't get at least a B on the next test for math, I'm switching to Algebra II. I don't even care for Algebra II/ Trig. Colleges skim those semi-advanced classes abyways, they don't care if you were in Algebra II or Algebra II/ Trig.
So yeah, that was my rant on how my Algebra II/ Trig situation's going on right now. I don't mean to be derogative to my math teacher, just, that I don't appreciate her teaching abilities. What am I really saying? I could teach way better. Give me one day of teaching in her place, and grades will sky-rocket. For real. Also, she's got to stop trying to relate to us. She makes up situations like "If you don't improve your penmanship, your boyfriend or girlfriend won't be able to read your letter to them, and they'll throw it away". Like, stop.
Alright, I'm done for now. I got to get some sleep. Oh right, I'm in her class, I'm jot gonna be able to get any sleep. I'm sorry, I'm done for real now. See you tomorrow. Oh and I almost forgot. My heart goes out to all those who lost their loved ones during 9/11.

Songs to Remember: Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
I'm too tired to think of something to say for the first few sentences. Tired from playing Destiny and of course, homework. 2 hours. 2 HOURS. 2 HOURS OF MY LIFE I'M NOT GETTING BACK.
World History, teacher's back. Wrote down notes and that was it. Borrrrring. English, we graded our weekly vocabulary homework. Borrrrring. Chemistry. Ehhhhz it was okay.
So we had a lab today so I was like "Eeeeyessssss". It wasn't really a partner activity since everyone worked as a group so, Ehhhh. We were supposed to count how many types of beans there were, then measure percent mass and percent total and stuff. Lots of calculator work. Aaand I was pretty bored.
P.E was ehhhh. We still have yet to play any real teams since everybody sucks right now and our teacher doesn't want us to play real matches until we're actually decent. Good idea.
Again, Algebra II/ Trig is killing me. The homework today was on graphing. Uggghhhhh, graphing takes FOREVER. 2 hours. I'm not even exaggerating the time, it was actually 2 hours, maybe even 3, I think I finished at about 4:00 PM or 5:00, can't remember. Can't remember 'cause my brain's filled with GRAPHS. And I actually wanted to talk about something today, buuut I forgot since everything on my mind was GRAPHS.
For Chinese class, there was sort of a line at the door, and El was like " We're changing seats" and I'm like "We're changing seats?" As expected. The teacher had this bin of papers with numbers written on em'. We had to go to the desk with the number we picked. I got 3, looking around for 3, still can't find 3, oh look I found 3. It was next to this girl, doesn't seem like I've seen her before so, ehhh. The teacher switched around a bit more people and the seats were set. My group was this dude who's name is also Drew, this one girl, and the girl next to me.
El was sitting like, across the room. Just 'cause you know, the seating gods are never nice to me. Anyways, the teacher was like "Oh, please exchange names with your group and person sitting next to you". And like, the girl doesn't even look at me. Let's just call her "Th" for now. So Th is facing the other way (to the left of the classroom while I'm sitting next to her on the right side. I'm sitting at the far right side of the classroom). And it's like she's trying to not look at me and I was just thinking like "Uhhh, rude. That's the s*** I don't like". Doesn't even face my general direction, the nerve of some people. Just kidding.
O asked for her name and she's like "Th" and I'm like "What" and she's like "Th" and I'm like "What" and she's like "Th" and I was like "What" and I was like "Ohhh, Tn". I was thinking like "Holy f***, speak louder. You talk even quieter than I do, heh". Apparently she's also a freshman, and is friends with Vt. Ehhhh.
So uh, yeah. The bell rang, thank god, and I walked my usual routez with El going with me. I still don't know why she sometimes goes my route. Pretty, pretty random. She also randomly wears super-noce clothes every often or so. And uh, yeah.
Went home, got started on homework so I could finish it, 2 hours on math, 30 minutes for chemistry, 1 hours on Chinese (so many strokes and lines. Goooooooodddd),and finally got started to play Destiny. And uh, livestreamed it for my buddies on Twitch. Very random.
Sooo, how's it going? Me? Well it's going ehhhhh. Not as great as I want it to though. But it's ehhhhh. Probably the best word to describe it right now. Anyways, I'm tired and I want to go to sleep. See you tomorrow.

Tuesday, September 9, 2014 "You're Sick."
Tuesday, September 9, 2014
Week: 4
Songs to Remember: Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
The substitue teacher today for World History came over to check on how we're doing. He sees this one girl next to me reading "50 Shades of Gray". He picks up her book, glances at a page for like 2 seconds, then gives it back to her and says "sick". And not the slang term for "cool" either.
World History, we had to fill out info on people of the Enlightenment. Pretty boring. We had a substitue today as well, along with tomorrow possibly. Don't really remember.
For English, we resumed working on our plagiarism project. Kinda simple, but also kinda hard since we don't really got much to work with. I mean, we're supposed to be talking about art plagiarism for freak's sake.
Chemistry was pretty slow paced today. Not bad, not bad. The teacher had this contraption which he used to distil Fanta, Coka-cola, and alcohol. And we had to draw a picture of the whole setup. I was like "Alright, cool, cool. Teacher's doing a breaking bad thing, not bad, not". Except that I couldn't see for s***, the whole thing. I'm sitting near the back (one seat from the back" and I hear people like "I can't see, o can't see". Like, 1st world short people problems, including myself.
P.E was ehhhh. I made a few passes. At least our team isn't that bad. There's this one girl on our team who's like, quiter than me. I think she only touched the ball about 3 times.
After P.E, I got to go to the club meeting for VSA (Vietnamese student association), since it was today during lunch. And I had to walk around for a bit since they just had to have it be in a room near the back of the school in a pretty secluded hall. I walked in, it was crowded, dark, Vietnamese music (i guess) was playing, i see people i don't like, and I was like "F*** me".
There was this one girl, whom was in 6th grade with me, who was passing out tickets for the bootleg random raffle they had for milk tea and a sweatshirt. For every person she was like "Here you go" with a smile and cheerful gesture. Then when she came to me, she just didn't even say anything at all. Like, come on. It's been 4 f***ing years. What kind of bootleg people do you have running this club.
So isince it was pretty crowded (especially near the door-way since people don't know the concept of f***ing moving), I had to go to the front seat and sit down there, waiting for my buddy to come to thus bootleg club. I saw some more people I didn't like, one being Ez who's the "secretary" of the club. Like, you don't do anything. Secretaries of anything (besides th government) don't ever actually do anything. Anyways, they introduced themselves (they being the bootleg club leaders) and said a bit of info about the club.
They explained how you got to pay for "club membership", but hey, it's " only 3 dollars!" Like, what the f*** is this? This ain't club penguin! This ain't my vision! After explaining all that stuff, they did the bootleg raffle, pulling a random ticket from a rice-patty hat (can't get anymore bootleg than that). Some random people won the milk teas, but the catch is that they have to go to the next meeting to receive them. Wow. Much bootleg indeed. And then 2 random people win the sweatshirts.
Pretty crowded, pretty disorganized, pretty bootleg, this one club leader dude had to yell multiple times to get people to quiet down. All I was thinking through this was "This is a load of barnacles". *sigh*, so the bell finally rang and I walked out thinking "What the f*** was that?" Like, those were 35 minutes of my life I'm never going got get back.
So it was time to take the chapter 2 test for Algebra II/Trig. I failed miserably on the last one, but I knew what to expect for this one since I've seen the format of her tests already. I start on it, and I'm like "Okay, this is fine, fine so far". And then there's that one word problem where i got to turn it into an equation and I'm just like "F***. You know what? I'll just skip it for now". I do all the other problems, come back back to that one, and I'm thinking hard like "Hmmm, key words for an equation" and then I set it up, do the work, and in like, "*gasp* Is it really 8,9,10? IT IS". Mind = blown. I was like "Oh my god, I just did this correctly. You know what? I'ma ace this one.
I'm pretty confident I got a 90% on it. Pretty confident. And so my next test was the Chinese test, aaaaand it was insanely easy. We didn't write out the words, just, multiple choice or fill in the blank really. Thank the lord for such a kind teacher. 'Cause, if you were to know the lesson, but don't really remember 'cause it slipped your mind, you'd get most (or all) of the multiple choice right. If you didn't, then there would be a clear showing that you didn't, through what you picked for multiple choice.
So after that, we graded our tests and did a bootleg paper snowflake. And uh, yeah. I purchased "Destiny" today (thanks dad) and the download is 18 gigabytes (lord Bill Gates help me now) so I won't be able to play it until you tomorrow. My mom always nags at me whenever I buy a game during school season, 'cause she's like "You're grade better not drop, or else I'm taking away all your games". She's worries that I'll be playing too many much and not enough homework. The thing is, it's better to have a new video game at this time, since I'll have a goal to work for when doing homework. I got to finish all my homework before I play. Therefore, creating a better scheduled process or something. You get what I mean.
Anyways, it's kinda late and I want sleep. So, I'll see you tomorrow then.

Monday, September 8, 2014 "Chain Reaction."
Monday, September 8, 2014
Week: 4
Songs to Remember: U Beauty - 100%
My Chinese teacher told our class about how we should never hold hands with a girl, or else it'd result in a baby. Not that our hands biologically creates a baby, but that it leads to a chain reaction. Good advice.
So World History's pretty boring as always. We had a "test" today. Not really a test since we could use our notes, but whatever. Pretty easy. We had a substitute today, one who sub's at my school often so most upper-classmen know her. My teacher's out today to attend a funeral.
English was pretty bootleg today. We didn't really do anything but watch a couple videos and discuss, but I ain't complaining. We watched a copyright video of which I forgot what it was, and another one called "A Fair(y) use tale" (you could look it up on YouTube". It's basically a mash up of Disney movie clips, in which the characters talk about copyright. What's bootleg is that the person uses Disney clips, in which Disney is probably the most butt-hurt company on copyright. I mean, ya'll know the dispute between Disney and deadmau5's logos? Disney chooses now to try to sue deadmau5.
When I walked through the door to chemistry class, I was expecting... What was I expecting? Anyways, I sat down at my desk and the teacher's like "Everybody get up. Now get down!" Just kidding. He told everybody to get up 'cause he's switching seats and I was just like "Oh my goooooddd. No whammy, no whammy!" Apparently he changes seats every 3-4 weeks. Freaking-
I was staring intently at the teacher's clipboard, thinking "Please, just this one time. Make the next 3 weeks for me not suck, please". He called 2 columns of seats (out of 6), and I was like "Maybe I'll have a chance after all". And then he called my name. I sat down a that seat with an empty one next to me. I was just praying "Please, please, please, please". He called for the seat behind me. He was gonna call the seat next to me next and I was like " Big money, big money, no whammy, no whammy!" And I didn't hear him say Yue.
Well f***. I was waiting for him to call for Yue's seat, and I was like "Wait, when is he going to call for Yue" and then he was like "Yue, your sitting right there". And she moves up to the table in front of her original seat. She still sits at the lab table to the side of the classroom, now just 1 seat in front of her. I was like " Wait, what the f***, I'm in in the exact same spot, just one seat to the left". And Yue's in the same spot, just 1 seat in front. I was like "Well, this was unexpected. At least I'm sitting next to a cute girl. And El's cute friend is sitting in the back of me since I just recognized her after the teacher called her name.
God, volleyball is some hung alright. I still don't know if i suck or not now. I mean, I hit the ball at least. Sometimes I do some nice passes, sometimes I hit the ball over the net, sometimes I just fall flat on my face trying to dive for the ball. My teammates keep criticizing (not negatively, in a helpful way) me for trying trying to hit the ball over, when I should pass it over (think over-hand to an under-hand if that makes sense). And when that one time I could spike it over, I pass it over. And I was like "Fffffffffff". I think I have unseen potential. You'll probably need a microscope to see it, but it's potential nonetheless.
Lunch, hell, etc. You know, reading a book for 15 minutes in a class where you dislike with every bit of your soul actually seems longer than 15 minutes. Also I struggle to keep my eyes open after SSR, which is everyday after lunch in 5th period class where you either read books, or do homework, depending on the teacher. And guess what my math teacher picks?
Anyways, I go to Chinese class and the teacher checks our homework. We then do Chinese bingo (not really bingo, just, we wrote down phrases in boxes and she calls out phrases and if we have them, etc). We dont actually match one line like in regular bingo, we got to have this like weird backwards L shape thing. First 5 people who gets bongo get either jello, or candy, their choice. Apparently about 10 people in class needed 1 more phrase to get bingo, considering after the teacher called out " Ta shi" (which means "He is"), 10 people yelled out " bingo", one of those 10 people being El. After we did the bingo thing, the teacher told us about how we got to study for the test tomorrow (of which is multiple choice, thank you based teacher. Say, what's the Chinese phrase for thank you?).
The teacher also explained how she's going to change seats soon and how we're never going to be sitting with the person next to us ever again, so say your good-byes now. And I was like "Ffffffff, well, this wasnt going anywhere anyways so, it's for the best". Then the teacher was like " I'm going to have to sit you all boy, girl, boy, girl for you all to get used to sitting with the opposite gender" and I was like "Hey, maybe it won't be so bad after all. No whammy, no whammy".
So, El and I walked down my route at the end of the day, with her always going that route on Mondays I guess for some reason. She and I talked about school stuff 'cause that's all I know how to talk about. It was nice trying to get close to El, but whatever. And yes, I know seats don't end the interactions between people, it just makes it harder, that's all.
Anyways, for an update, I got 2 tests tomorrow, 1 being a math test and the other being a Chinese test. Going to have to sleep on my textbook tonight to absorb absorb that knowledge. Oh and uh, Destiny's coming out tomorrow. You know, that video game everyone's excited about? Most pre-ordered game in history, that's how hyped up it is. Probably going to get it, just for the fact that it motivates me to finish my homework first before I do any shenanigans. But in complete honesty, I just want to play it.
Sooo, I guess I'll get to studying, even though it's 11:39 PM. Gotta get those dreams about numbers. See you tomorrow.

Sometimes I do some nice passes, sometimes I hit the ball over the net, sometimes I just fall flat on my face trying to dive for the ball. My teammates keep criticizing (not negatively, in a helpful way) me for trying trying to hit the ball over, when I should pass it over (think over-hand to an under-hand if that makes sense). And when that one time I could spike it over, I pass it over. And I was like "Fffffffffff". I think I have unseen potential. You'll probably need a microscope to see it, but it's potential nonetheless.
Lunch, hell, etc. You know, reading a book for 15 minutes in a class where you dislike with every bit of your soul actually seems longer than 15 minutes. Also I struggle to keep my eyes open after SSR, which is everyday after lunch in 5th period class where you either read books, or do homework, depending on the teacher. And guess what my math teacher picks?
Anyways, I go to Chinese class and the teacher checks our homework. We then do Chinese bingo (not really bingo, just, we wrote down phrases in boxes and she calls out phrases and if we have them, etc). We dont actually match one line like in regular bingo, we got to have this like weird backwards L shape thing. First 5 people who gets bongo get either jello, or candy, their choice. Apparently about 10 people in class needed 1 more phrase to get bingo, considering after the teacher called out " Ta shi" (which means "He is"), 10 people yelled out " bingo", one of those 10 people being El. After we did the bingo thing, the teacher told us about how we got to study for the test tomorrow (of which is multiple choice, thank you based teacher. Say, what's the Chinese phrase for thank you?).
The teacher also explained how she's going to change seats soon and how we're never going to be sitting with the person next to us ever again, so say your good-byes now. And I was like "Ffffffff, well, this wasnt going anywhere anyways so, it's for the best". Then the teacher was like " I'm going to have to sit you all boy, girl, boy, girl for you all to get used to sitting with the opposite gender" and I was like "Hey, maybe it won't be so bad after all. No whammy, no whammy".
So, El and I walked down my route at the end of the day, with her always going that route on Mondays I guess for some reason. She and I talked about school stuff 'cause that's all I know how to talk about. It was nice trying to get close to El, but whatever. And yes, I know seats don't end the interactions between people, it just makes it harder, that's all.
Anyways, for an update, I got 2 tests tomorrow, 1 being a math test and the other being a Chinese test. Going to have to sleep on my textbook tonight to absorb absorb that knowledge. Oh and uh, Destiny's coming out tomorrow. You know, that video game everyone's excited about? Most pre-ordered game in history, that's how hyped up it is. Probably going to get it, just for the fact that it motivates me to finish my homework first before I do any shenanigans. But in complete honesty, I just want to play it.
Sooo, I guess I'll get to studying, even though it's 11:39 PM. Gotta get those dreams about numbers. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: At First - JJCC
Since it's Saturday, and I don't really do anything exciting enough to talk about (unless you count playing League of Legends and doing homework exciting), I'll just talk about what happened yesterday, since I was Linda tired last night.
World History was whatever, English was whatever. Chemistry, was whatever too I guess. My teacher didn't lie when he said we were gonna do an experiment. The experiment was pretty lack-luster (get it? 'Cause we were studying chemical and physical properties and "luster" was a physical property) though, and we had to work in like, groups of 5 or whatever so Yue and I didn't really have the two-of-us time.
We had to calculate the density of stuff by like, measuring the weight of the stuff and then doing the thing with water displacement in a graduated cylinder and all that. Pretty boring, I mean, doing math after placing a metal cube in a graduated cylinder isn't really that exciting.
So uh, there was P.E and we picked teams today for Volleyball. The teacher picked the teams, doing this this thing like "the 6 of you, go choose a team". And so I was the last of the 6 to go so it was pretty bootleg. No one likes being picked last in P.E.
So my teams okay I guess. I mean, I think we're not the worst team, probabkybthe second to last. The teacher was like "Soon you're all going to playing against people of your same skill level. Good people on this court, mediocre people okay mediocre play mediocre people, and sucky people play against other sucky people. And I'm just like " Please Drew, at least make it to mediocre".
So we do our practice thing with our new team, where we pass the ball 2 times and then hit it over to the other team. Basically practicing rallying. I made like, 2 good passes in total I think, while the teacher was watching us and she pointed at me and was like "So far, you're the best person here 'cause you can pass" and I was like "The chance of me even doing a complete pass is 50%". It:s true. After that, I kinda sucked the rest of the time. The main problem right now is deciding who hits. Like, 2 people will go to hit the ball, but then they both stop, rhinkig the other person's gonna hit it. Much more difficult than you think. Unless, you're a professional Volleyball player, in which, you could feel free to disagree with whatever I'm saying.
Lunch, gates, etc. We got our tests back, and I looked at my score, which was 41/68, and I was like "Hey, I got better than I thought I would". But then I calculated my percentage and I was like "62%. Which is an F... Ffffffffff***". But I saw a lot of other people's scores too, and there were a lot of variations in scores, so, that made me feel a bit better. So after that, we got started on our homework. This one freshman girl who sots next to me, asked this sophomore girl behind her " Hey, do we have to show our work? I mean, I could do this in my head, heh". And the sophomore girl was like "We all can". And I was like "Damn dood, that's the wrong numbah!" Like, she got rekt. REKT. Who does she think she is. This is something that entertains me at school.
Not rekt? Rekt. Anyways, 6th period was eh. We practiced saying more phrases in Chinese, mostly just "I am a student, you are a student, you are a teacher, are you a teacher, are you a student, etc". We're almost finished with lesson 1 and so the teacher's probably going to change our seats soon. She said that she changes seats every lesson, and that we will never sit next to that same person again, meet you people in the class, etc. And I was just like "*sigh* Well, El and I weren't really going to get anywhere anyways so, get on with it".
So um, I had a dream last night. Haven't had any dreams for like, 3 weeks. I dreamt about a lot of stuff, though I can't really rememer all. The only part I remember is that I messaged Vt on League of Legends and we talked for a bit and the conversation went over to Skype in which, it was public for everyone to see. Pretty weird. And because of that, along with some of their stuff on Facenovel, I think a Vt arc might start.
Sooo, uh, yeah I don't know really much else to say. Umm, some people got points deducted from their test due to putting too many equal signs and I'm like " What? How can someone put too many equal signs? Theres never enough equal signs". Oh and uh, I got sort of a scar on my left eyelid due to diving for a ball in P.E. I think it looks pretty cool (even though its barely visible). So when do I get my sharingan like Kakashi?
Anyways, I got to go to sleep. Oh and I also woke up in the middle of the night couphing. Very weird. So without further adue, see you tomorrow.
i can do this in my head

Sorry, but it's kinda late right now and o am pretty tired. My P.E teacher said that I'm the best person on the team right now 'cause I can do a proper pass, but she doesn't know that all of my passes are a 50% chance of being good/bad.
We did an experiment today, and the teacher let us pick our own groups, but it wasn't just me and Yue alone sooo. Oh and uh, I got a 41/68 on my math test. Was better than I expected. That was until I did the calculations and found out thats it's a 62%, which is an F. So uh, yeah. I'll see you tomorrow.

These girls came up to us and they were like "Join the Movement club! You'll earn community service and meet new people! Also the club officers are really cute". And I'm just like "My kind of club officers".
So we did whatever in World History. Allergies still acting up so I'm gonna be uncomfortable for a few days. I'm starting to think that this is a bit more than allergies since I'm kinda coughing too. It all started with a sore throat. Anyways, English was eh. Corrected work and that's it. Chemistry is going alright; not as well as I'd like it, but it's fine. Took some notes on physical and chemical properties of stuff. Pretty much it. I talked to Yue so it was fine. Mr. Sales was like "Tomorrow we're going to have just a fun lab. Every Friday we'll have do a fun lab or something". And I was just like "Yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeesss". Oh thank you based teacher. That means I'm hopefully gonna be together with Yue for partner activities. And it's like every Friday so it's just like " Yeeesssss". Not "Yasss", " Yesss".
Oh and there's this one girl (in our chemistry class of course) who looks just like my classmate from English class last year (who is now in my World History class. We don't really talk at all now). I was like "Wait, is she in my chemistry class?" Her names different so I was like "Ehhh". But the similarities were so uncanny. And then I remembered "Ohhhhhh, that's her twin sister". My classmate told people that she has twin and I just remembered. Twins are pretty bootleg in my opinion. You could get away with a lot of shenanigans with your twin.
For P.E, we started practicing passing to our teammates. I think I did well, sorta. We gotta pass it 2 times, and then hit the ball over, then the other team does the same. Still hate Volleyball though.
So as my buddy and I walked around looking at all the clubs (god was it hot), my buddy from that summer tutoring was like " Oh hey Drew, you should join the KDT (the Korean Dance Team)". And I was like "Uhhh" and he dragged me over and I was just like "*sigh* Whatever, I do need the exercise". And then he was like "Thanks for signing up, we need more guys in the club since there's too many girls, heh". And I'm just like "Uhhhhh, did I just hit the jackpot? (Cue Block B's 'Jackpot')"
And I also joined VSA 'cause, I'm Viet, aaand for whatever. All the clubs were like "Join out club, you'll earn community service, chances to earn scholarships (oh brother), meet new people, and have fun while doing it!" And I'm just like "Well, isn't that like every other club here?" Every single club (besides the recreational whatever clubs like "Chess club") offers community service, along with the ability to meet new people, scholarships, and " fun".
But there these girls who approached me and my friend and they were like "Hey, you guys should join the Movement club! You earn community service, scholarship opportunities, meet new people, and the clib officers are pretty cute too!" And I'm just like "S***, that last part just made it very persuasive. Too persuasive". And I was like "Ehhh, I'm in 2 clubs already. I'ma have to do homework, then I'ma have to learn how to drive soon, then a job, then the clubs, ehhh 2 clubs is good for now". Also I see Hl (those are the letters is used for her right?) walking around promoting the Fandom club and I'm just like "I still can't believe that him and her happened". I remember how I mentioned this one dude's comment on Facenovel where he was like " If RL were to get a girlfriend before me, feel free to chop my d*** off" and I'm like "Yeah, mine too. I still can't believe it".
So after studying diligently last night, I was pretty ready for the first Algebra Ii/ Trigonometry test. It was only 1 page (front and back) of questions so that was good, although none were multiple choice so I was like "Ehhh". I start on the first few questions, they were pretty easy. Then the next few, I was like "Ehhh, these are taking a bit too long, I'll skip them and come back to them later". Then the next question and I'm like "Ehhh, I'll come back to this one later too". Some of the questions don't result in a whole number and I'm just like "Why? Why is the world so cruel? Why do fractions exist?" So I'm positive sure I'm getting an F. If I'm lucky, I'm praying for a C. My excuse is that some of the questions on the test were never covered in our lessons. And that it was the first test so I didn't know the format.
Chinese class was ehhh. I'm still kinda struggling deciphering Chinese characters. Why? 'Cause there was a vocabulary quiz today and I was like "F***" and she was like "I reminded all you guys on the app last night" and I was like "Oh, well I so sorta remember receiving a remind text last night". By then I remembered how I was too busy studying for the math test that I played no attention to the text. I got a 12/20 for the vocabulary quiz. In all honesty, it is my fault for my score. Good thing NY teacher is an angel from heaven, 'cause she believes in second chances and let's us have a quiz re-take on Wednesdays during lunch. Thank you based teacher.
So uh, I kinda wrote more than i thought. That was pretty good. Aaand uh, yeah i don't know much more to say. Oh right, the title of the post. So El and I haven't really hit it off, conversation wise, so the feeling's mostly just floating there for me. And Yue, me and her are like "Ehhh", but mostly it's just me. I know that it's gonna hurt when Yue graduates this year and heads off to college or where ever else she plans to go. My chemistry teacher was like "There's only 168 days of school left" or something like that. Close to that number. And I was like "Wow. Shorter than I thought a school year would last. But, it's still a long time in actuality. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Anyways, I have hay fever so I'ma need my beauty sleep. Or is it handsome sleep for guys? I don't even know. Anyways, see you tomorrow.

Wednesday, September 3, 2014 "Well, What Am I Supposed to Name This?"
Wednesday, September 3, 2014
Week: 3
Songs to Remember: Rain (Stephen Walking Remix) - Astronaut
I love how people's conversations are so empty-minded that it keeps me entertained for prolonged periods of time. Like today in World History, these 2 girls sitting behind me were talking about how one of them tried calling and texting their boyfriend 'cause something seemed wrong, even though they knew that the dude's phone was dead.
So yeah, nothing much happening. We had freshman/sophomore orientation during English class. About 1/6 of the school is supposed to meet in the theater for it. They just explained some stuff about the library, upcoming events like dances, and school policies like clothing. They explained how you can't wear shirts with logos depicting narcotics or sexual stuff, no "sagging", and like, no short shorts or whatever. Does that apply to skirts too? It better not 'cause skirts are pretty cute. Formal, but classy. Wait, did I just talk about skirts just now?
Let's just pretend I never said any of that. Anyways, Yue's thinking about switching out from honors Pre-cal to Calculus or something like that (don't remember if it was calculus or regular pre-cal). After i asked her about the test, she was like "It was so hard, I didn't know anything! I think I'll just switch from honors to regular" or something like that. She just skips her honors pre-cal period and just heads to the counseling office and I was like "Umm, whatever I guess. That, that works too".
P.E was okay. We had a substitute again so it was pretty calming. Our regular teacher scares me, I think that's why I don't do so well. Scares me as in intimidation through a large difference of skill levels. Anyways, we were outside on the football field and we basically hit the ball in a circle, hitting it to each other. I met some new people through this, all of which were girls, so that aight. Probably the best P.E day so far.
At lunch, my buddies and I checked out some of the clubs (yesterday was only half of the clubs, today was half, tomorrow is when all the clubs are present) and we were like "Ehhh". I want to join a club, because you gotta or else people will be like "So what are some of your extracurricular activities?" And I'm like "Uhhh, do video games count?". I mean, at least something to do besides stay home, but not affect my schedule too much, and by that, I mean not disturb my sleeping time in any way possible. Also I got a lot of homework, more than last year so I'm starting to feel the heat.
I guess I'll join VSA (Vietnamese student association). Just for f***'s sake. And my buddy's gonna join too so, whatever. I'm really not expecting much, except for when I'm probably gonna have to go on the weekends to help decorate dances or whatever.
Anyways, lunch, hell, etc. I have a test tomorrow for Algebra II/ Trig, and I struggled a bit (mostly 'cause the teacher was going' a bit too fast) so I'ma have to study pretty hard, and I never really study. Aaand I did study hard a few hours ago actually. I had a hard time concentrating with my parents being loud as f***, but I managed to get through. Also the teacher allowed us to turn in our homework on Friday instead of Thursday so we would be able to study rather than do work. THANK THE LORD FOR HAVING SOME HEART.
Okay so, Chinese class, we got to record ourselves saying 3 vocabulary words, sentences, and a poem. My computer mic sounded pretty bad so I did some bootleg stuff with my phone and got it done. God, it feels like tomorrow is Friday, but it's not
Anyways, I gotta go sleep and stop thinking about Yue's big eyes looking at me when I looked at her during that test. God, was that an experience. Oh and that reminded me, during the orientation today, Am, who's in my English class, surprised me from the back like "What's up Drew!" and I was just like "Who at you again?" And she was like "You know what, forget you", jokingly of course. God, do I love saying that "Who are you?". Such a bootleg question. Anyways, after using anyways about 7 times, I'll see you tomorrow.
Week: 3
Songs to Remember: Rain (Stephen Walking Remix) - Astronaut
I love how people's conversations are so empty-minded that it keeps me entertained for prolonged periods of time. Like today in World History, these 2 girls sitting behind me were talking about how one of them tried calling and texting their boyfriend 'cause something seemed wrong, even though they knew that the dude's phone was dead.
So yeah, nothing much happening. We had freshman/sophomore orientation during English class. About 1/6 of the school is supposed to meet in the theater for it. They just explained some stuff about the library, upcoming events like dances, and school policies like clothing. They explained how you can't wear shirts with logos depicting narcotics or sexual stuff, no "sagging", and like, no short shorts or whatever. Does that apply to skirts too? It better not 'cause skirts are pretty cute. Formal, but classy. Wait, did I just talk about skirts just now?
Let's just pretend I never said any of that. Anyways, Yue's thinking about switching out from honors Pre-cal to Calculus or something like that (don't remember if it was calculus or regular pre-cal). After i asked her about the test, she was like "It was so hard, I didn't know anything! I think I'll just switch from honors to regular" or something like that. She just skips her honors pre-cal period and just heads to the counseling office and I was like "Umm, whatever I guess. That, that works too".
P.E was okay. We had a substitute again so it was pretty calming. Our regular teacher scares me, I think that's why I don't do so well. Scares me as in intimidation through a large difference of skill levels. Anyways, we were outside on the football field and we basically hit the ball in a circle, hitting it to each other. I met some new people through this, all of which were girls, so that aight. Probably the best P.E day so far.
At lunch, my buddies and I checked out some of the clubs (yesterday was only half of the clubs, today was half, tomorrow is when all the clubs are present) and we were like "Ehhh". I want to join a club, because you gotta or else people will be like "So what are some of your extracurricular activities?" And I'm like "Uhhh, do video games count?". I mean, at least something to do besides stay home, but not affect my schedule too much, and by that, I mean not disturb my sleeping time in any way possible. Also I got a lot of homework, more than last year so I'm starting to feel the heat.
I guess I'll join VSA (Vietnamese student association). Just for f***'s sake. And my buddy's gonna join too so, whatever. I'm really not expecting much, except for when I'm probably gonna have to go on the weekends to help decorate dances or whatever.
Anyways, lunch, hell, etc. I have a test tomorrow for Algebra II/ Trig, and I struggled a bit (mostly 'cause the teacher was going' a bit too fast) so I'ma have to study pretty hard, and I never really study. Aaand I did study hard a few hours ago actually. I had a hard time concentrating with my parents being loud as f***, but I managed to get through. Also the teacher allowed us to turn in our homework on Friday instead of Thursday so we would be able to study rather than do work. THANK THE LORD FOR HAVING SOME HEART.
