        It's Wednesday and the majority of my day was just me playing Bloodborne. Even though it is fun, I feel like I should be doing something with my time. And yes, relaxing, yes, but still.

        Anyways, not really excited for anything. I can't imagine doing the usual school routine again, I'll be fucking lazier than ever. Anyways, beated the Hemwick Witch, beated Logarius, and beated the Darkpaarl Beast, all of which were fairly easy besides Logarius with his 1st phase spells. And yeah, see ya.

        What day is it? Tuesday. Like I said, been playing Bloodborne from morning to night. Fucking Rom the spider the cheapest boss in existence.

        Not really much else to do. I feel really shit in the morning 'cause I gotta wake up, do my daily morning routines, and lug my PC to the living room downstairs. Now if my PS4 were to work on the bootleg TV set in this room, it'd be a whole different story. Anyhow, see ya.

Songs to Remember: I Know What You Did Last Summer - Shawn Mendes

        Muted the cast group chat, Skyping with my cousin everyday, playing Bloodborne from the morning to night (with breaks), watching random stuff every now and then, nothing else to preoccupy my no-stress relaxation.

        And it's going pretty good so far, besides dying and losing my blood echoes every now and then, and by that I mean in successive chains 30% of the time. I'm currently level 37, beaten past VIcar Amelia and discovering areas like The Old Hunters DLC (pretty fucking cool) and the Nightmare Frontier (pretty fucking shit) while my cousin is level 17 and still has yet to beat the Cleric Beast. I'm waiting for him to farm to level 27 so I can join him and help kill the Cleric Beast by having 0 echoes and just running around and exploring new areas.

        And since I have nothing to lose, I looked up locations for the Amygdalan Arm and the Beast Cutter. Apparently you can just rush right to 'em, and that, I will do tomorrow. Going good, relaxing, my buddies want to play League but shit, I think it's more stressful than Bloodborne really, only because we're currently on a losing streak, we win around 1 every 10 games, kinda bad. But anyways, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Practice - Skylar Spence

        So. Cousins just left about, 11 hours ago. The cast held our se- err, their secret santa today. Got another 5 days here in LA, at my grandmother's house, essentially under house arrest because I got no ride and there isn't really a place like a mall that's within walking distance of the house.

        And so what's new? It's 10:47 PM, got like 7 new songs to download and transfer, let's see if I got anything I wanna talk about. Umm, well, I think I forgot to mention once that Lt talked about how she feels sorta depressed sometimes, her family, uhhh, suicide, and I'm just like "Ssssss, yeah, I don't like where this is going." Like, it's cool that she feels comfortable enough to tell me about all this, but what can I do?

        Uhhh, that's just, that's just something to be put out there, I nervously checked my grades last night. Teachers still didn't update them. I know, I know, I shouldn't be worrying because this is my break, my vacation from reality essentially. And speaking of breaks, it took me around 5 tries or so to be Father Gascoigne in Bloodborne. Stupid tombstones blocking my dodges and rolls so I get hit by his stupid beastform and blundernuss.

        Anyways, I spent around, uhh, from 11:30 AM to 8:00 PM playing Bloodborne. Yes, there were some breaks in between. Damn. Now that I actually realize it, that was a pretty fucking long play time. I still only got as far as uhhh,traveling a bit through Old Yharnam, shot Djura off the tower (fucking Djura), and uh, only a few hours ago did I watch more of the GameGrumps' Bloodborne playthrough that I realize that I don't even need to head that way yet.

        And so anyways, that's pretty much all I got on my mind right now. I'll probably watch myself to sleep, and by that I mean watch some bootleg YouTube videos and doze off to them. I'll be waking up early to continue the grind again on Bloodborne, but hey, I'll probably sleep in a bit later than what I say. So, see ya.

Songs to Remember: What Do You - Justin Bieber

        I actually got some nice things, mostly clothes which are actually nice. Practical really.

        I spent, with my own money (well, after given to me by my aunts and uncles), on clothes. 2 articles of clothing, to be exact, olive green khaki's and an olive green jacket, all for the KDT Lunar show. But I'll still wear them outside of that so yeah, practical, and they're now one of the nicest pieces of clothing I own. Mostly because I rarely shop for clothes at places like H&M and Forever 21.

        In addition, I also got a First Order Riot Control Stormtrooper Pop figure for $18 at this bootleg swap meet place. Why? Because I'm into the "traitor" meme and it was rare. It actually goes for a slightly higher price online and is fairly hard to find in stores considering it's a Walgreen's exclusive (really?), so, it was worth. Other than that, we went to Wingstop for dinner, and let me tell ya, I got full after 5 hickory smoked barbeque boneless chicken wings and 1/4 of a large size Dr.Pepper. Holy.

        And even other than that, the swapmeet had pretty bootleg stuff, places in the mall had bootleg stuff too. Umm, our older cousin left after he dropped us off from all those places at around 7:00 PM, umm, my cousins are leaving tomorrow morning so uh, yeah. What a holiday break. It's still not over though, I'm staying here in LA for another week, and uh, tomorrow I'm Skyping the cast for our Secret Santa. Also I recently discovered that DrewN kicked out Ag from our group chat, don't know what that's about. She hasn't come back or posted anything or responded after that, it was Wednesday. Umm, yeah. Don't know what that's about.

        I'll be back to making longer, more qualitative (qualitative?) posts tomorrow. So, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Hello - Gavy NJ

        So my Christmas has been fairly relaxing, if you count dying multiple times within 4 and a half hours of playing Bloodborne.

        I dyed and lost so many blood echoes. Good thing is, I dyed so many times and reran basically the whole first level that the layout is now embedded in my head. Basically just spent the morning in our room, on our phones, watching videos in the comfort of our blankets. My older cousin slept 'till like, 12:00 PM. I guess he went to sleep fairly late last night. We then played GTA and Smash downstairs 'till the Bloodborne patch finished, then it was dinnertime, which consists of various types of bootleg sushi.

        Then, dying, a lot. Up until I basically got the hang of it but still stuck at the stupid wolves at the bridge before the first boss. Anyways, uh, tonight we're watching Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, so, pretty bad so far. And also Yn messaged me today saying merry Christmas. It was nice talking to her again. And so uh, pretty much it for the day. See ya.

Songs to Remember: View - SHINee

        I didn't really like how I wasn't able to go to Christmas in the Park with the cast. They posted pictures of themselves having fun, I'm like "Aww c'mon." But then my buddy Ec posts on Snapchat of how him, Mc, and Et are at the movies watching Star Wars and trying to hooky Et up with someone. I then realized "Ya know what? Everyone's having their own kind of fun for Christmas, mine's just my own."

        We went to Glendale Galleria, I thought we were going to the mall but this place was a tad better, just a tad. Just kidding, it was like the first world experience there. In other words, RICH. Holy shit, just walking down the street we saw like fancy car after fancy car. My cousin was very happy about that. The mall there, err, shopping center, was 3 floors, including the Target. Like, holy shit. Fanciest place I've ever been, I was like "Damn, I wanna live here." But then I remember I have to be rich like a doctor or something, and I was like "Shit, right," heh. We checked out various clothing outlets and whatnot, I managed to find almost what I wanted: an olive green jacket and Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition for DrewN.

        My cousins got various clothing stuff as well. My older cousin (that's a better description than just "other cousin") got my other cousin a Captain Phasma die-cast figure since my other cousin didn't have enough money (currently). For that, he got us stuff too, presents in addition to our already Christmas presents, which were IMAX 3D viewings of The Force Awakens. I didn't really know what to get, honestly. My cousin suggested shoes, umn, stuff that'd we use everyday, something other than a fucking video game. I decided to go with shoes and to be honest I'm no shoe expert, so my cousins gave me a selection of stuff to choose from.

        These things called "Roche," were the shoes I got. Turns out, they were the only ones on sale, out of all the other ones. $60 for them when they retailed for like $85. Pretty fucking cheap apparently and pretty lucky right? Well, that was where our luck ended because when we went to the Target to look for Nuka Cola Quantum, online it said they were in stock at this exact location. Apparently not, so oh well, but my older cousin did get our cousin a Wii points card to get the Smash DLC characters. Pretty good. And also we got our other cousin an Olaf spinny thing from the Disney store, which resembles much of a vibrator, so uh, when it's wrapped up, it looks just like it. We'll be like "Ha! You just got pranked bro!" Other than that, we just walked around, ate food (not exactly healthy food), and uh, witness bootleg shit throughout the day. We're driving back to our grandmother's house right now, it's 5:33 PM, we left at like 12:00 PM, so, pretty uh, pretty good 5 hours.

       As for when we got home, we had pizza, umm, played lots of Smash (after we got home and until 12:30 AM last night too), and uhh, that was the end for the normal. After 8:00 PM, things got, a lot more abnormal. Let's just say, a lot of supposed physical contact, socks, phallic shaped gifts, shoes, Captain Phasma figures, money, Italian cakes, cake, scarves, and bootleg fishing games. That's barely enough to describe everything, and with in inclusion of notifications and Skype calls on my phone. Craaazy.

        So, basically this Christmas' probably been the craziest. It just gets weirder and weirder each year. I'm not looking forward to the next. Anyways, see ya, and merry quanza.on

Songs to Remember:

        From my dream last night, I was biking to the library for some reason, when I discovered it's sorta broken down, even though it doesn't look like it. I receive a textbook by one of the people there, and since I had a study guide given to me from my English teacher to memorize over the break, I went along with my friend to study there.

        There were no computers, and apparently there was a class going on. I also made like some sand land and participated in this bootleg game or something.After that I head on outside for my mom to walk me home (she did this when I was in like, elementary school). It was going fine 'till my mom was taking shortcuts through the neighborhood. There were kids playing in their garages and backyards and directly saw us walk through, right in front of their eyes, their property. It was pretty socially unacceptable so I headed a different direction, taking the long route.

        It turned out to be longer than I expected, but I finally met up with my mom again and apparently some of my friends. We were walking through people's neighborhoods again but then people go suspicious and soe started following us and chasing us. They weren't regular people either, there were some in like Power Ranger costumes, some in Halloween costumes, just, pretty Halloween. Everybody was able to uh, get through and stuff besides me and my buddy. We did some bootleg parkour to survive, I could actually control where I was hopping and stuff. It ended when I woke up so, yeah. But anyways, enough about dreams, time for the real matters.

        Our other cousin's coming at around 12:30 PM. It's 11:25 AM, we're gonna go watch The Force Awakens at the 3:50 PM screening in IMAX 3D, which is like, $15. After I watch it, I'll finally be free from this curse of no Reddit. I'll continue writing after I get back.

        Ho-ly. Well. It was. It was a lot different than what I expected it to be. To be honest, I did not know the plot of the movie. I saw trailers, teasers, but did not actually know what's supposed to happen... besides the spoiler about Han. I'll describe my experience there first, in IMAX 3D.

        First of all, they didn't have the special 3D glasses, only regular ones. Also, IMAX 3D is $15. Also, the screen was, not that big, but still big. For the general commercials, about 1/3 of it was cut off. Then when they were showing commercials especially for Force Awakens watchers, it went full screen. Also, we got there like, 30 minutes early, and had to wait at the door because they didn't allow anybody in yet. There was no distinct line, like, people were sitting down and about. We stood near the door, and as the time came close to the door opening, these big dudes, fucking neckbeards, were like "Hey, you guys know that we got here first right."

        We didn't want any trouble, so we just went to the back of the line. Like, what fucking dicks. They weren't standing and looking like they were in line first, they didn't have anything that showed it. And only then, near the opening time, did they say that shit. Ho-ly, fuck. And this shit's just for seats too, and 5 days after the movie premier. I guess yeah, only these kind of people in IMAX 3D, but still. Anyways, that was before the movie. Now, during the movie, I already knew the major plot twist, so it wasn't that powerful. I was expecting more in terms of lightsabers fighting, but ehhhh. Next couple paragraph's gonna be full of spoilers so, yeah.

        Okay, first of all, when Kylo Ren took off his mask, he instantly reminded me of Chase from Zoey 101. Just a fucking like, teen with anger issues. I mean, I was like "Okay I wish I didn't know what he looked like." The beginning of the movie was a nice setup. I really, really liked the setup for Finn and Po. Did not expect like, running and escaping from the First Order base. Introducing Han and Chewie, that was nice. When Kylo was fighting Finn, I expected it to be like, full on swinging. Nope, just a couple swings, more tactical running, etc. Over time in the movie, I was like "Yeaaahh, Finn ain't a Jedi is he." Trailer was fucking misleading.

        The part where Kylo killed Han, I already knew it was coming so it didn't really have an effect on me. The part where Rei opened up the chest, what a fucking jumpscare. Like, it was fucking silent and suspenseful and then BAM, giant vortex of just loud ass shit. Fuck you. The ending was, I was expecting something with Luke, I mean, for most of the movie it didn't show Luke at all. I remember that Mark Hamill was going to be in the movie, so I knew he was gonna show up eventually. But Jesus, 30 seconds of him, standing there, all for a cliffhanger. Really? And R2D2. How does he not turn back on'till the very end? And of course, we can't forget Captain Phasma. Less screen time than Boba Fett. Really? Only showed up in the beginning, a few seconds during the First Order speech, and then turning off the shields at the end of movie, to be killed by getting thrown into the trash compactor. Fucking hype for a character that barely does shit. Even that one stormtrooper with the shock baton was cooler in my opinion.

        Anyways, I give the movie a 9/10. It was definitely beyond my expectations, but shit, all the teasers and trailers were so misleading. And also a fucking cliffhanger, where we gotta wait 2 fucking years for. So, yeah.

        Besides Star Wars, umm, the cast was out iceskating at Christmas in the Park, and uh, decided to take very many pictures and send them to the group chat. Also I've never been iceskating so that was fucking,egenralBut that's over now, and yes, I did immediately go to /r/4chan and Reddit in general. Feels so good. Alright, tomorrow's the big Christmas party, and shopping, so uh, yeah, see ya.

        Not even kidding, these past days I've been here, I've been having dreams. And not even any regular dreams, these are fucking weird, ranging from, bleh, to meeting a dude named Herbert Hoover from the band Boyz Noize.

        Anyways, I got my SAT scores today. 510 in critical reading, 580 in math, and 560 in writing with an 8 on the essay. 1650, holy fucking average. I'm surprised I got an 8 for my essay, I thought I bullshitted it too hard and off topic, but uh, guess not. Compared to my cousin's score and Ec's score, pretty fucking average, yeah. Well, mediocre-ish college, here I come.

        Other than that, basically a mixture of Fallout 4, New Super Mario Bros, Game Party 3 (dear lord), Smash Bros Brawl, and Wii Sports Resort, especially the swordfighting game. We beated the second to half level and unlocked the last one. Well what we thought was the last one. We beat that one, after several tries, and unlocked 10 more bonus levels, all are just the original courses but reversed. We gave up after the 3rd one because the AI was just cheaping us out.

        I was apparently wrong about SHIMMIXES uploading the new Mashup today, guess it'll be uploaded some time else. Umm, we'll be watching The Force Awakens in less than 24 hours, so, episode 5 and 6 tonight it is. So uh, yeah, see ya.

        I've talked before about how he hasn't been active for like, 10 months, so I just thought that he stopped for good. He used to upload a Mashup every few months, then it turned to every 6 months, and then once a year. Today he uploaded a 1 minute teaser for his full Mashup, uploading tomorrow. From just that 1 minute it sounds pretty good, so I'm hyped.

        Other than that, today was pretty lackluster in my opinion. Nothing much but just watching videos, on our phones 24/7, and uh, playing Paladins and watching Star Wars: A New Hope. Paladins was pretty fun, but sorta shit at the same time. A New Hope was really refreshing after a while. And uh, yeah. Also Em messaged me after like, who knows how long. Pretty refreshing too, but uh, a bit too meme-y now. But still nice to talk to her after a while.

        Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow. I mean, er-, see ya.

        Well, after just one day, the hype has been very real, for both Star Wars and Bloodborne

        I slept pretty early and woke up, still pretty late. Like, everybody left for church at around 9:30 AM and like I woke up, but I went back to sleep and woke up like at 10:30 AM.

        We (as in my cousins and I, one of them is coming on Wednesday morning) ate breakfast first, then our uncle drove us to Fry's for some early Christmas shopping (sorta early). I got Bloodborne which was on sale for $30, pretty good deal actually. I also got one-year PlayStation plus card and a $20 PSN card for the dlc. My cousin got the same, except a Pink Yarn Yoshi instead of the $20 PSN card.

        I couldn't find Sleeping Dogs (the game I'm getting for DrewN for our cast secret Santa, of which I probably won't be able to partake in because I gotta stay here in LA at my grandmother's house until New Year's) but it'll most likely be at GameStop, so we'll go there on Wednesday. After that, we went to Walmart for my other cousin's game, Xenoverse Chronicles because there's a good deal there. We went home, it was 3:00 PM so pretty much lunchtime. Walked around the block for Starbucks, Arizona Ice Tea, and In-n-Out, which had a very, very long line. Also we stopped by this really bootleg and ghetto Fry's sorta store to see if they had any light sabers (the ultimate fx ones).

        'Cause ya know, there's a lot of Star Wars hype and we gotta build it up. So far my cousin's been trying to find some cheap pro-grade lightsabers online. $75 Dark Initiate with blade on Ultrasabers so far, but still looking. Anyways, got home at around 5:00 PM, that was basically our dinner, it was kinda late for lunch. Just watched and searched up random stuff on my PC like Star Wars videos and shit. I looked up builds for my upcoming Bloodborne play through soon. Then we went down and ate some leftover fried rice yesterday, and then watched Star Wars episode 3. We're planning to watch one movie a day, starting from episode 3 today, up until our cousin comes down on Wednesday so he can drive us to watch The Force Awakens.

        So yeah, gonne be pretty hype. Kinda upset that I can't, ya know, attend like parties with the cast, but whatever. I'll be preoccupied with Bloodborne anwyays. Oh man, Christmas party, Bloodborne, and Star Wars this upcoming weekend. Pretty hype. Alright, time to go to sleep. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Duel of Fates - John Williams

        So I'm in 6th period Chinese right now. HOOOOO, my boy Ad came in the clutch yesterday. Did I cheat? Yes, but I'm sure a large amount did too, and there's a good reason for that.

        US History was actually not that bad. It was pretty good. The teacher passed out the tests, he does it so that we only get either the multiple choice section first or the writing section first, and I get the writing section first. Thank goodness we were given a small enough cheatsheet. There were 6 free-responses, choose 5 to write. Then, some fill-in-the-blanks.

        When we're finishes with the first part, we turn it in for the 2nd. It took me about an hour to do the writing which was pretty long. I was one of the few that were still working on the first section. When I get the multiple choice, BAM. I went through like 10 questions in like 1 minute. There were 50 of 'em, but they were pretty easy. I was right, that I didn't need to study 'cause the material became sorta common sense to me. Overall everyone had like, 30 minutes to spare.

        Chinese was a different story. We have an actual final this time, but it's online and all multiple choice. Pretty good. Even though I studied the answer choices (beforehand), I was still pretty unsure. I knew I wouldn't fail without the answers, I actually didn't even need to cheat to keep my A. So, as everybody was coming into class and getting their Chromebooks, I copy and pasted my notes onto a Google Doc from my phone, opened that up on the Chromebook, copied that, and during the test, I pasted it into the address bar whenever I need to use it.

        The reason why I was able to do this was because everyone was focused on their own test, the teacher doesn't know how to use the program that tracks what tabs we have open (so somebody can just have Google Translate open. It was pretty funny that Google offered to translate the page just straight up). Also, after we're done, we don't need to confirm or anything, we just get started with the little end assignments and surveys we gotta do. So, somebody could just type away and shit, and it'll look like they're working on the assignments and done with the final.

        I was smart though, I didn't copy the answers exactly I got some wrong (artificially and naturally because there was a listening comprehension section). I think I got like a 180/200, pretty good. Just a disclaimer, I don't really like cheating, because it's risky. This is also the only time I've cheated, as far as I can remember. I don't remember "cheating" on any test or quiz before. So yeah, just a one time thing.

        It's 7 minutes 'till the Bell now, people are on their phones, some dudes are playing on their 3DS's, some are watching anime, umm, yeah. I'll probably spend all day with my reward of being able to play Fallout for the whole day without any worries. Yet. If I forget to post this, because I'm not gonna post this yet as I might have some stuff to right about later in case I forget, then, uh, now you know.

        Nothing much but Star Wars hype, really. Also apparently we're leaving tomorrow, to LA. My cousin's still coming along for the bus ride. This hasn't happened since like, 2010. Ah, the holidays. Anyways, that's about it for now, see ya.

        Well, my fate is sealed for Bio. Math was also pretty tricky, but I checked my work and made some logical guesses so I'm all good. A couple tests were missing after 3rd period, "stolen" really, and so the teacher's offering 5 points towards their final if he/her can provide valuable info to find out who took 'em. It's the same Bio teacher by the way, she ain't having the best of times right now.

        So yeah, just a bit more and freedom at last. Also, my buddy Ad has the questions and answer choices for the Chinese final. He asked if I wanted to see it, so I was like "Sure." Apparently we'll be doing it on computers, and so, the teacher apparently doesn't know how to work the program to see our tabs, so someone probably just copy and pasted it onto a doc for later. Or, just used Google Translate in the middle of the test. Anyways, it's late, see ya.

        I come home from 2 hard-as-hell tests to a random unrelated lecture on common sense from my dad. Why?

        Besides that, I felt I studied enough for Psychology, because the multiple choice was pretty easy. The free-response questions, however, were just a bit too long. It was 2 hours, 70 minutes max for the 100 multiple choice questions, and 50 minutes for the 2 free-response questions. I finished the multiple choice in 60 minutes, so 10 extra minutes basically to work on the free-response questions.

        I thought they'd just be the same/similar to what we've done before in class. Nope, it was 2 free-response questions, but each included like 5 different subjects for each. Basically 5 free-response questions stuffed into each. I was running out of time so the 2nd free-response question was pretty shit. If it weren't for the multiple choice, I'd probably get like a C. But, probably gonna be a B-. Hopefully.

        After 1st period, it was break time. And uh, having just getting sorta raped by the FRQ's, I didn't really want anymore necessary commotion. So, I saw someone who looked a lot like Vl. Yeah. Apparently it was her. A lot taller than I expected. She was busy hugging her friends and talking about her finals. I wasn't really motivated to talk to her, because if she wanted to talk to me, she'd have replied and said hi or whatever on Twitter. But no, it was just left at a "Gotta finish hw, ttyl" from me, so. Yeah. I guess I just hold on to the past too much, huh? Fucking hell.

        Anyways, met up with Lt, with coincidental right timing. She didn't really study, I tried to study but it was so, so much reading. I tried my best. The teacher kept on changing the finals, from about 2 weeks ago, he said he was gonna cut us a break and have it be only multiple choice. Then, he said there would be multiple choice and quotation explications, 3 of 'em. Then it changed to multiple choice, 3 explications, and a constructive response. Then, multiple choice, 4 explications, and a constructive response. Today, he said there'd be 66 multiple choice questions (I swear, he had it be 66 just to be one 6 off from 666), which is okay, 3 explications, ehhh, 1 constructive response, and 1 ESSAY-like response.

        Are we gonna have to play that song again? Why the fuck you lying? Why you always lying? He had also said that our vocabulary words would also be on the final. Nope, studied them all for nothing. The multiple choice was pretty fucking awful. The quotation explications were a bit better, but the 3rd one, for fuck's sake, I couldn't figure out who the authors and works were/from. It was from a choice of 3, but they were so vague and literally just a single line from like, a wall of text. Fucking insane.

        As for the constructive response and essay, fuck those, man. Just pure, fuck. After we were done, the teacher was like "So how was it?" "Hard." "Really??" And I'm just like "Bruh, you majored in English and taught at top schools for English for like 15 years, you could probably recite all of the works we've studied word-for-word." Everyone's pretty boned, I know Lt's boned, I'm boned. Just, hopefully a B- boned, and I'm good.

        What's the best part about today is that I went on /r/frontpage today and saw a /r/4chan post on there. Saw the top comment was from a mod asking if this guy should get banned or not for his report. Yep, Star Wars spoiler. FUCK. I was like, "Damn." I was this close to seeing the movie before any kinds of shit like this happens. Oh well.

        Anyways, got some Bio studying to do. Math, I could probably do educated guesses. After the binder check (which is 100 freelo points), I'll probably be set for a B, because the whole thing is multiple choice. As for Bio, it's either nut up or shut up. Either fuck me to a D, or god help me keep a C. See ya.

Songs to Remember: The Wanderer - Dion

        God help me, I'm yawning so much. I've been studying nonstop for like, 3 hours now (started real studying at 8:00 PM, took a small nap from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM). I don't even know what my study method is anywhere, I just have multiple windows and tabs open of Study.com pages and online texts from authors I gotta remember.

        I finished studying for Psychology, but now it's just, reading, and remembering specific lines and quotes from shit like Emily Dickinson and Patrick Henry. It's just reading. I started my studying in class during free periods by creating a Quizlet for terms for Psych. It took about an hour or so per chapter, or a bit less than that, and I had 7 chapters. So, didn't really work out, I quit at chapter 3.

        I dropped the work aspect of studying by not doing Quizlet terms and instead just went with reading and reviewing from the textbook. It worked, for Psychology. For English, just, fucking, remember. Like holy shit, we gotta remember the history of the authors too, and the work, like, c'mon, this ain't history. Oh and uh, our teacher pulled another fast one because in class he told us we were gonna have to do 4 explications now. I'm just like, "Ahem... why the fuck you lying? Why you always lying?"

        Also I did shit on the Bio test yesterday, got a 19/30. Good news is, I got a 135/150 (90%) on my Scarlet Letter essay from like, 2 months ago, back. WOOOO. Definitely did not deserve it, definitely did not know how or why I got a 90%, but damn, I'll take it. As for other classes, we gambled, we won, we stopped for US History. Our free cheatsheet was in-class only so, tried to get as much as I could. Chinese was just making a bootleg paper Christmas tree.

        So yeah, apologies if I don't make any quality posts for the next couple days, if I don't or I forget, you know why. FUCK THIS SHIT. Anyways, I'll just be getting back to poems and novels. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Fresh - Phenomenon

        Okay, how am I expected to study when I'm given required work that's due. Like c'mon, man, just give us plain free time.

        Now I'd like to describe things in detail, but, it's 10:34 PM, I'm very tempted to play Fallout 4, but I do have sufficient time to study and make Quizlet flashcards, and also because every class is pretty much just review and that shit is boring. So, I'll just describe the essentials of what we did in class, except for a couple particular ones, and uh, be on my merry way to getting at least one Quizlet study guide done.

        Psychology was just free time. Short, sweet, and good allowance of the way WE want to review. English, just lies, man. LIES. The teacher almost assigns us to read a book, like, half of it, by Wednesday, and have some of that be on the final exam. Good thing we all voted "no" to that, because in all honesty, fuck that shit. I can recall that when asked before about the final exam, the teacher said that he was gonna give us a break since we already did some quotation explications and an essay for the Scarlet Letter, so our test will just be multiple choice online. I was like "Oh thank the lord."

        Today, when asked about it, he said that it'll be on all the authors, from puritan onwards basically, quotations, stories, works, punctuation, general grammar, and 10 vocabulary words for our multiple choice. Oh that's not all. As a bonus, there'll also be 3 quotation explications, and a constructed response.

        *ahem.* Why the fuck you lying? Why you always lying? Mmmm oh my god. STOP FUCKING LYING. Always lying to me. You lying so much. You making it hard for me... That's basically how I felt after he told us that. Why? Why? C'mon man, at least tell us beforehand, not literally 2 days before the actual exam. 2 hours of getting fucked in the mouth in shorter terms.

        Wasn't anything out of the ordinary for me and Lt so, there's that. Bio was fucking mad. First of all, there was a sub as our teacher wasn't here today (she later sent us an email that she had medical problems and is supposed to stay home for 2 days. "2 days" oincidence? I think not. She just didn't wanna get roasted as we're re-taking her test that we already studied for and having to spend more time on it rather than spending it on studying for our 5 other classes, and her final exam). A dude was like "If she doesn't want us to cheat, why would she be out and have a sub? Subs are easy to cheat with.

        Turns out our teacher was like "I'm already one step ahead of you." because our sub was the OTHER AP Bio teacher. We went to our seats, the same ones we sat at for that other test. The teacher then told us to take off our jackets and roll our shirt sleeves up to our elbows. I'm like "Are you fucking serious?" Just to let you know, the highest temperature for today was 56 degrees, and that's at 3:00 PM. This was at around 10:00 AM.

        That was so fucking degrading, like I was being treated as a criminal. Really? Really? I was afraid to even look at the clock because the teacher was standing right up front, and if I make eye contact, she'll suspect I'm doing something suspicious. As she was passing out the tests, she was like "Sorry for the people who didn't do anything, it's due to those who blah blah blah." Shut the FUCK up. AM I BEING DETAINED.

        So there was that. Math was just required work. Lunch was a KDT meeting. US History was just a continuation of our jeopardy game, and Chinese was still fucking annoying as usual. The teacher expected us to write down 10 questions using the vocabulary words on the board, then give it to our partner to answer, and vice versa, and in Chinese, and then decide with our team members which of our questions we would write down on this small sheet of paper to go ask 3 other people our questions, while answering their questions, turn all that in, and, if our name's written on the board, which mine was, AGAIN, to write our question for the word on the board, all within basically 45 minutes.

        Yeah, her form of review doesn't exactly help us absorb the material. People are more worried about finishing it all before school ends, rather than actually studying it. Fucking absurd, man, there were like 9 others in class, including me, who had to stay after to finish writing it all. Jesus. Anyways, it's 11:00 PM now. I just want this semester to be over, get that sweet release of holiday break, with nothing but Christmas, deals, Fallout, and of course, sleep. And last but definitely not the least, Star fucking Wars baby. So yeah, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Free of My Love - The White Panda

        To honest I did play Fallout the entire day. Other than responding to messages, checking notifications, and skyping with my cousin, that was pretty much it.

        I got an email at around 11:00 PM from you guessed it, my Bio teacher. She sent this to everybody by the way, not just me if you were thinking that. She said how this dilemma or whatever has kept her up 'till 2:00 last night from her just thinking about it. She then said she made some decisions that she'd allow those with A's to not take the final, only because they have A's, which is like, 0.5% of each of her classes.

        She also said her name was apparently "trending" on social media. Uhh, really? I checked, and even my lab group member checked and uh, we didn't find anything. At all. Guess she's just trying to up the drama or something. As for the test that we took, it's gonna get scrapped. We could still see our scores though on Monday. Um, when asked about how only the ones with "low morals" should be the only ones to get punished, she said that it would take too long to find out all the people that received the link to the answers.

        Really? Really? And as for test corrections for the new test, no. No test corrections, so no make-up points. At the end of her uh, email speech, she did some bootleg analogies about how people can be healthy and still get cancer, you can drive safe but still get hit by a drunk teacher, etc, etc. And then stuff about integrity and how our grades can only carry us so far. Well, as my friend had said, at least it'll carry us to a good college which is about, 50% of the way through school. All this extra-curricular shit, AP classes, SAT, recommendation letters, all for just GETTING IN to college.

        She also made a big deal, like, 2 paragraphs worth, for the people with A's who are allowed to skip the final exam, which are like, 3 people in each class or some shit. So yeah, lots of unnecessary drama coming from our Bio teacher, as my friend had said, she's pretty butthurt. Alright, well tomorrow's just plain studying, and a LITTLE bit of Fallout. Um, yeah, see ya.

Songs to Remember: The Wanderer - Dion

        So uh, fun shit happened. Well more of just shit in general. It was surprising so that was all that mattered, okay?

        Psychology was literally just a 20 question IQ practice test, and then free time. I actually scored a 20. As in, I got 17 right, and because I finished under 30 minutes, I got an extra 3 points. I was actually surprised i managed to figure out some of the questions, like where it had a word scrambled and I had to figure it out. Took me only like 5 seconds to recognize it: anniversary. Pretty crazy. It was on the MENSA scale by the way.

        English, where we just discussed uh, causes that we'd go to jail for. Theoretically. 'Cause we're reading about Thoreau and how he went to jail because he didn't believe in slavery. That was pretty much it, about a majority of the class still has yet to present their Scarlet Letter artworks yet so, still hoping for that.

        It was kinda regular today with Lt, same old, same old. Biology though, that was kinda shitty. I studied all parts of cellular respiration, and even the questions from the study guide the teacher gave us (which was really, really vague. Like, it was just 10 questions on it, 1 of them being that we should know what stomata are, which turns out its only for one question on the test. And again, really vague and general like, know what cellular respiration is. Well, duh). The test was 28 multiple choice questions, 2 grid-ins, the grid-ins was kindergarten, the multiple choice was no joke.

        I did my best, oh look, all I got now is to study for the finals and I'll be A-okay. Nope. Apparently, the test questions and answers was circulated among some students. How did she know that? Some people got a 100% on the test. So, since it wouldn't be fair to give everybody who got a 100% a 0, she's making all of us re-take the test, but with a new one, not one that's found on a public site online, on Monday.

        I'm like "Seriously? Did you not check my test, I probably got like a C, and if I were to cheat, I'd bump it up a bit higher than that." But yeah, noob cheaters, man. If they're gonna cheat, well technically I wouldn't call it cheating, because it was public, the test questions and answers I mean, but you get what i mean. They could've been more discreet and not get EVERYTHING right on the test. Maybe have a few wrong to make at least a 90%, never a 100%. Fucking noobs gotta ruin it for everybody. Anyways, our test scores are thrown out the window, so, it's niether yay or nay.

        I just wanna have the time to study for the finals, rather than this one test. And no, I didn't know the test was circulated around until I got the email from our teacher. My buddy Bt didn't find out about it either 'till he saw the email and asked his buddy for it so he can review. His buddy's a senior and already has an A in the class, so he doesn't really need to uh, "cheat" so to say. And whadya know, there's the exact questions right there. I'm like "Damn, maybe I should spend more time looking and finding at practice questions online rather than just plain studying."

        Anyways, math was the same, lunch was spent with Am and DrewN while the others were at Chinese club. US History was just review jeopardy. And finally Chinese, where we had to just write a sentence on the board using a vocabulary word, all the while doing work. Classwork. And yeah, during lunch DrewN asked if we wanted to see Krampus today. You know, the movie.

        Knowing that it's labeled as a horror AND comedy and is PG13 didn't deter me, but apparently it did for everyone else. Like, literally. DrewN and I went into the wrong theater. I was like "Damn, there's barely any people, heh." It was a boxing movie, "Creed," and I thought it was just an ad at first. But then uh, I was like "Huh, going on for a bit now." About a minute later, DrewN was like "Yeah I think we went to the wrong theater." We went back outside and looked. Yep, wrong movie, heh. Thankfully, we did get back in time, about 10 minutes to spare or so 'till it actually started, at 4:35 PM.

        Krampus started off alright, it seemed just like another Christmas movie, sorta even forgot that I was watching a horror for a bit. When it got into the first bit of action, it just brang back memories of "Oujia," and how it was just bootleg PG13 kid horror. That wasn't the case for Krampus. The characters are introduced, the setup, action, rest, action, rest, spikes of action, and then just thriller for the rest of the movie. Yeah there was cheap jumpscares but that can be looked over. Spoilers in the next paragraph.

        Some parts I felt wasn't necessary, like how they did like stop-motion and animation to tell the grandma's story. When it transitioned back to live action, I almost forgot that that was the actual movie, with real people. Umm, the killer toys, I liked those scenes, I actually laughed, genuinely laughed, due to the kid comedy dialogue as well as the absurdity of it. The elves were a pretty cool design, as well Krampus with how his bells and chains jingle. The gingerbread men were pretty cute too, but CGI, ehhh. The way they did the CGI reminded me that it was a kid PG13 horror movie. They have a charm to them, but didn't really fit in the looks of things. What I really liked was how things took a different turn than expected, like when the grandma was confronting Krampus. You'd think she somehow trump him, but no, she dies. The part where Max contronts Krampus. You'd think his sincerity would make Krampus spare his cousin and bring everybody back. Nope, he wipes his tear, then throws him to hell.

        From the same writer as "Trick 'r' Treat" from 2007, it had that same holiday spirit that is embedded into the core of the whole thing. I thought of it as a combination of The Nightmare Before Christmas, Poltergeist, and Scary Movie. Cheap, bootleg, absurd moments, but still had a sort of charm and mystery, it was unexpected, and different from most movies nowadays. So, that's why I'm giving it an 8/10. Not bad, definitely a top nominee for best comedy of the year, heh. Okay, got some studying and work to do this weekend, umm, and yes, Fallout 4 too. So, see ya.

        Well yesterday's post was pretty depressing more than it was motivating, heh. But anyways, Star Wars. I did not know it was coming out December 18th, the last day of finals. Ho-ly, fuck, what a time to be alive.

        So, Psychology. Umm, did we do notes? I think we did. Yeah, we did some notes. Tomorrow we'll be doing an IQ test because ya know, our unit's on intelligence. English, where thank based god that we're taking things slow. By that I mean, small online assignments where we answer 5 questions and choose to watch a video lecture on Transcendentalists. In class we just have people stand up front and read from the book, which is "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail."

        Lt. The more I think about, I'm sorta getting kinda tired of it all? Just a tiny little bit. Err, bored I should say. A bit bored, mostly because it's the SAME THING. She's playing Hearthstone, umm, we talk about school, classes, complain about work, English, CCOC, how she loves Chinese dramas now instead of Korean dramas. It's just, boring and tiring. I don't know, man, I've said this many times already. As in, I've said "I don't know, man" several times, and that means something because I do.

        Not really sure what to do right now, like, now that I'm comparing our talks to what the cast and i talk about, it's really lackluster compared to the gossip. I mean, just today during lunch, Am came to hang out with us again for the majority of the time (because the rest were at Chinese club), and we shared secrets for the most part. We trust each other enough and or don't really care in spreading it to others that we do this, and for the hell of it. That's new, and it keeps things exciting.

        Anyways, Bio was just a continuation of the lab. There's a test tomorrow, so I studied today for once,and I think I'll just about right on it. Math, just the same old review. Lunch, I already described it. US History, was basically just worksheets to do, Chromebooks to do research with, all for the final. And finally Chinese, where I'm not sure if El is seriously over it or not, because today she didn't make a fuss about the seats. I'm like "Okay then." It was just Chromebook day, work on shit online.

        So yeah, thanks goodness there's a failsafe tomorrow for the Bio test. If I do shit on it, I could always drop it. But, if I do, then it all comes down to the final where it'll make or break my C into a B or D, and I really do not want a D. So, I studied today. And uh, yeah, 11:35 PM, good time, play an hour of Fallout, and then a bit of last-night studying. Alright, see ya.

Songs to Remember: The End of the World - Skeeter Davis

        So I'm currently at the dermatologist right now. I don't like to talk about private matters like this too often, or at all, because it's just uncomfortable to.

        My main problem right now is due to stress, which creates a domino effect to all my other problems. Going to a dermatologist is a waste of time and money because all they do is prescribe medicine that works, but is too expensive and our insurance doesn't cover it, so instead my mom gets the same fucking doxycycline pills every time along with clindamycin phosphate which makes a marginal difference even after using it all for the full duration. And therefore, I get stressed out from that, which leads to even more of my problems, all in one big domino effect. And the cycle repeats.

        So as I'm waiting for the doctor to finish up with his patient and come on over to fucking give an Asian parent talk about school, I'm letting out all my stress right now in this post. And it does work, better than anything a doctor can prescribe me. My mom thinks it's all about the oil, that it's what causes some of my problems, but what I want is to get rid of the ones that are already here. My mom also likes to talk about me behind my back, or just mention personal stuff out loud to the public. In fact, she's talking about how I do in school right now to the receptionist/nurse outside.  I used to care, care a lot, but now I've reminded myself that it doesn't matter.

        I see these people like what? Once every 4 months or so? They have so many other things to sorry about than that one kid, me. I worry so much about what they think of me and how my mom embarrasses me to them. I just need to remember that I shouldn't give a fuck. It doesn't matter. Who cares what they think of me. It's all about what I think of myself really. For example, El, who I now know is still not over it, because even 'till now, she is still trying to be able to not sit next to me, even if it means she doesn't get to sit next to Jk. And so far, I've been contributing to this. I should just not care, like, if she wants to be awkward about it, let her. Because who the fuck cares, right Drew?

        My mom's continuing to talk about my habits at home and my work etiquette to the person outside. I think by the time this is over, the receptionist will probably be able to memorize my whole life story, heh. Jesus, man. Ya know, sometimes I do feel like going beyond my boundaries, as in, just breaking for a bit like in those intrusive thoughts people get. I do get them a lot, but I know I'm too scared to actually act them out. One day when I do, if I do that is, that'll be the day where I finally overtime all the obstacles. But maybe today's not that day, heh.

        It's 2:45 PM right now. The doctor's still not here, still with his patient in the other room. There goes my Wednesday, there goes the one-hour-get-out-of-school-early time. To be honest I would've used it to just relax anyways. Well no, actually I wanted to start on the bootleg Chinese online skit script that our teacher assigned us and finish all of it, leaving that one required spot for El to post her bootleg house design picture. Our unit's on housing, by the way. Also I wouldn't have to worry about saving it up 'till the night before, where I'ma have to study and play Fallout 4 at the same time.

        And I forgot to mention that my buddy Ec, he still has his online portfolio for Chinese 2 so I can just essentially copy off his script he wrote with his partner, which he's fine with, I mean, it's free work that's already done. And yes, I have plagiarized, but not on major works or essays, those I do legitly. For small assignments like this, for when I'm not familiar with things, such as Chinese, a language that I did not learn when I was a child, or ever for that matter 'till last year in Chinese 1, umm, that's when I do things like this. It's just like what my Geometry teacher from freshman year thought it. Sorta. He posted the answers to homework online with all the work. You could copy it down, but when it comes to the test, all it matters is if you understand it and/or studied. Luckily for me, I understood it.

       So I'm home now. I left off this post at around 3:00 PM so. Yeah. Anyways, gonna do a quick review of today and off to some Fallout. Psychology, our teacher's back, and surprisingly we still have some notes to do. English was just discussion and how the teacher said that how we don't have to present our Scarlet Letter artworks if we feel uncomfortable doing so. I'm like "Seriously, I didn't get a choice when I went up." Today was Wednesday so it was straight off to Bio, where we started on our lab with peas and respiration.

        Math was just reviewing with 30 problems. Umm, lunch was actually the usual this time. US History was just watching clips about presidents, aaand taking notes on them. And finally Chinese, where it's just utter shit basically. Kinda messed up. Like, I studied and memorized the vocabulary, only for the teacher to include one word on there that wasn't in our flashcards or in the book. I was like "Are you fucking kidding me." Doing whatever it takes to fuck me over and not let me get a 100% for once I see.

        So yeah, lots of notifications, my English teacher is offering an optional assignment where we can try to go for 24 hours without any technology at all. Sounds pretty crazy, I might not be able to do it, heh. Alright, it's 11:48 PM, off for an hour of Fallout. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Only You - Siwon

        I can feel that bit of stress gnawing at me, but I'm trying to keep it down as low as possible. Also uh, the series is gonna be halfway over soon. Wow.

        Psychology, another free day, it was good because I didn't want to finish Chinese work last night. Uh, teacher's back tomorrow, she'll probably let us have one more free day to work on the study guide before it's just whatever. English, after being in the class for almost a semester, I can say I finally feel a bit more comfortable. Like, the teacher reviews shit that was taught to us in like, middle school, going as far as like, independent and dependent clauses. Sounds stupid and a waste of time, but to be honest, I actually didn't fully understand this shit 'till now.

        So, we talked a bit about that in class, and we watched a bootleg rap video on YouTube on independent and dependent clauses. Seemed appropriate at first before the teacher dude in the video included uh, literal, shit in a urinal, in his rap. The teacher was like "Oh dear" and pulled off the video real quick. I was like "Holy, you serious. They were trying to be a bit too edgy, heh." We also went to return our Scarlet Letter books and get our new book, which is a Thoreau play. At that time, I did a lot of talking with Lt, focusing on my sarcasm as I do with all my close buddies. I think that's one of my strong points in terms of speech, probably due to all the memes I've seen.

        Then during break, Lt talked with her buddies about how when she gets married, she wants it to be like a Chinese wedding with Chinese traditional garments and whatever. And then she talked more about like, race in according to weddings and traditions, just stuff that I didn't really agree with for the most part. That's the kinda shit I get confused about, like, I think: "Did she really just say that right now?" I don't know, man, but I can definitely say she isn't afraid to speak her mind.

        Bio, where we basically just spent the whole period doing practice questions. Not writing, but, read on the projector, write an A, B, C, or D on a budget small whiteboard with our partners and show it. It was actually useful, I got most of them right too. My partner said to pick the longest answer, and 4 times out of 5, it's right, heh. Uh, math. Long, tedious work on learning the basics of derivatives. More work than usual, but at least we get class time to finish some of it ,which is nice.

        For lunch, things do get a bit varied now once in a while, especially with DrewN and I. Zl comes over to have a buddy talk with DrewN, Am comes along too and I guess she wants to hang with us. It's sometimes a little more than just the usual, walk to the lockers and sit down. US History, we get some more in-class studying, this time it's from the textbook. Also some people were selected to read their 2-page stories, persona stories, of a made-up person during the Great Depression.

        There was one story in particular that I really liked, It was from that one girl who was in my group before, the one who is sorta considered a "troublemaker." I don't believe that now, but, if you were to view her actions for the first time, you'd think that. I expected her story to be just a usual, depressing story of someone from the Great Depression. No. Her story was fucking amazing, heh. It had so much emphasis and you could visualize and feel the effects and experiences of the person from her narrative, talking about how a kid's mother died during child-birth, his father committed suicide, and how his brother is all he has left during these tough times. It was very well written.

        And finally Chinese, where Jk sits in his usual spot, so El sits next to him and that one girl, ya know what, I'll just call her Mt because saying "that girl" sounds pretty mean. So, uh, we just copied down sentences for the whole period, and uh, just work in general. Tomorrow there's a vocab quiz, gonna have to study tonight for it.

        Alright, so I play Fallout at night, like, around now, 11:22 PM, because that's when I'm pretty much done with most of my work. It's better than playing it first and doing work later. In the end, it hopefully works out. Okay, see ya.

Monday, December 7, 2015 "The Low-Peak of Stress."

Monday, December 7, 2015
Week: 17
Songs to Remember:Shall We Dance - Snuper

        Now what's even spookier than the movie, Krampus, is that it's season 17, and I'm 17. Young and sweet, but not a dancing queen though.

        Ah, I'm feeling festive again with all these Christmas videos and the Christmas break hype. Finals? The rest of this week's basically review in my classes, nothing really new, all I gotta do is devote some of Monday and Tuesday next week to study. Assignments don't take TOO long, most of my grades have made it, only a couple have a chance to break, and I'm done with the SAT for now. I've got the dances down enough for KDT, and uh, no practices I gotta go to 'till next year. I play Fallout 4 when I'm done with work for the day and need some relaxing. So, I guess it's safe to say I'm at a low-peak of stress right now.

        Can't say the same for others, I'm sure they're getting fucked or something. But see, this is what I need, and it's a nice early little Christmas present. Oh and uh, it's also the anniversary of this whole blog story thing. Show, heh. December 2013 to now, December 2015. Had my original Microsoft Word doc didn't corrupt, it would've been 2 and a half years maybe. But no. Umm, so yeah, it's been a long time with me making these posts everyday. I can't wait to read all these to be honest. It'll be cringey, buuuut, I get to see my maturity grow. And I mean, who doesn't wanna re-watch all these series?

        Alright, now on to today's episode. Psychology, my teacher's still out, out uh, in another city or something for a funeral, so she won't be back 'till Wednesday probably. We just corrected each other's tests, aaand started working on a study guide. Same's gonna go for tomorrow, just a free period. English, where we took a vocab quiz and a quiz on which quote is from which poem by Dickinson or Whitman. The teacher said before, and today, that we didn't need to study the story/ origin of our vocab words. Well, whadya know, it mentions the origin of the words on the quiz. Why the fuck you lying? Why you always lying? Mmmmm oh my god, STOP FUCKING LYING. Also I think I did sorta shit on the quotes quiz.

        Lt and I are still. Hmmm, yeah, heh. I'm just floating right now, which I don't mind. Just taking it easy, it's all good, Drew, no need to go to maximum overdrive anytime soon. Uhh, Biology. One of the make or break classes right now. I'm at a 74%, still barely staying afloat, the finals' gonna be worth 15% of our grade. Here's a twist though that I never heard of before: the teacher said that if we have an A in the class, we don't need to take the final. It won't count against, won't count for. Also we get to drop our lowest quiz/test score so, that's nice too for those of us who can't possibly get an A, heh.

        Math, just lots of review right now, umm, yeah. Lunch, just the usual again, nothing really new. US History, umm, I worked my ass off yesterday for like an hour straight to write 2 bootleg 2-page stories, and color a bootleg picture. Turns out, the stories weren't due today. Well, fuck. Oh and we watched a movie on hobos from the great depression. It was probably made at around the 90's or something like that, because the people that were interviewed were like 70 or 80, and they were hobos at like the age of 10 in 1930.

        And finally Chinese, where Jk is still choosing to sit next to the girl in front of me instead of next to me. I'll let him know when to sit next to me when the bootleg partner skit is assigned because I don't think El would like it very much if she has to work with me again. Then, after school, another KDT practice. I got math work done, my phone was dying, and it was cold. The only practice that I was in was for Taemin's "Danger." Yep, still got it.

        So that's where I got myself to where I am now, a lot of studying ahead of me for the next week or so, but, I'll manage it, as long as I can manage my hours of play on Fallout 4. Also I tried to start a new play through yesterday because leveling was so on my original one as I had INT 1, so I focused on Charisma and Idiot Savant. Didn't go so well, heh. I went back to my original after that. Also stayed up 'till 2:00 AM as well.

        And yeah, I did this post pretty early today because I don't wanna forget again. I'll see you, tomorrow.

Saturday, December 5, 2015 "A SATurday Birthday."

Saturday, December 5, 2015
Week: 16
Songs to Remember: The Pawprint (Continuous Mix) - The White Panda

        Alright Drew, prepare for an hour of typing. Here lies this post to commemorate my 17th birthday, filled with cake, Facebook notifications, Fallout 4, and of course, the SAT.

        So where to begin, let's continue off from yesterday in explaining some details. Uhhh, only thing I can remember right now is that the day after I messaged Vl on Twitter, she finally responded. She was like "Uhhh, can I have a name?" and I'm like "Andrew, I was in Ms.Blank's math class." She couldn't remember. "I was in Mr.Blank's class too." Still couldn't remember (I don't blame her though, 6th grade/ 5th grade for her was very short-lived). "Any details you can give me? Do you happen to have a picture?"

        I sent her a picture of my current self, hoping she'd remember the similarities. She didn't respond for a bit until after I sent her my picture from 6th grade. "OOHHH I REMEMBER YOU! HOW ARE YOU HAHA." It was pretty much just that after, for about a couple other messages. "I totally forgot about you 'till my friend mentioned your name." "But what?" "Vh. I think she's in your Chinese class." "Oh yeah, she was in my group lol. But what did she say?" I got pretty bad vibes from that, so I was like "Oh she just listed people from her Chinese class when I asked her who was in it." "Ah I see." So, I don't think shit's going anywhere, it's a one-time thing now. She doesn't seem too interested in talking to me so, ehh, might as well not waste each other's time.

        Oh, just remembered, KDT. Yeah, yesterday's practice was pretty bootleg for me. I was trying my best to mimic others' moves when we were practicing as a group. It was my first practice in a while so I was pretty rust. Also it was the BTS's "Danger" dance which I have not practiced at all. Still, I got a hang of just the general movements so it was okay. I did however get to be in the middle when they all did their hands-in-middle-cheer thing. People who get to be in the middle of it are the ones who improved the most, so, guess it was me, heh.

        As for the SAT, that's a whole 'nother story. Last night I found a nice SAT study guide on Sparknotes and depended on that as my sole source. I got half-way through it all until I fell asleep (right here on my couch). I woke up, it was from 8:30 PM to 9:00 PM I think. I was like "Alright, that's enough studying, time for sleep." And I did, at 10:00 PM. My mom wakes me up at 6:30 AM, get ready, and knowning my dad has a watch and wears it, I ask him for it so I can wear it during the test. Because ya know, it's on list of things to bring on the SAT form thingy.

        I wasn't sure whether or not the room I was gonna take it in was gonna have a clock or not, but better safe than sorry. My dad unfortunately, his watch is out of battery since he never changed it because he doesn't go to work anymore and is retired. We spend the next 20 minutes or so trying to find the right size button-cell battery or just looking for a place that's open that sells watches. We did manage to find a place, 7:20 AM, got 25 minutes to get to the place. We did fortunately, and Ag and Ek were right there at the front of the mob/line.

        This was happening all the while I was receiving birthday notifications on Facebook from people like my buddy Ec, and messaged from Lt on where I was. I sorta forgot about Lt at the time, I was more concerned with the SAT than being with Lt in the cold. It was my fault though, I'm sure she had a horrible time being alone for the whole thing. My bad. Anyways, we stood in the cold for another 10 minutes or so until they let us in. Our testing room was the same, and on the 2nd floor, while Ag's was on the 1st floor,

        The school was pretty uh, American-like. As in, like those high schools you see in movies with the hallway and lockers. Um, so we get to our room, show our ticket and ID, Ek is seated in front of me, I'm sitting in the back of her, people get in, I don't know anyone but Ek in there, the supervisor dude read out the instructions, I had my pencils, calculator, eraser, etc, we got our booklets and answer sheet, 3, 2, 1, boom, go time. I actually listened to DMX's "X Gon' Give It to Ya" to get my hyped up in the morning and not drowsy and sleepy.

        First up was the essay. Prompt? Basically some uh, broad and vague question. Thank goodness I studied the essay bit on Sparknotes because it mentioned just that- the same sorta question with an example. 3 in fact, we got the intro paragraph listing the examples, the 3 examples, and the outro. I answered mine, now that i think about it, pretty shitt-ily. I mean I stated and answered the prompt directly in my first sentence, but my reasons and evidence, my evidence didn't really support what I was explaining. It's really uh, a bootleg mistake, I blame it on it being the essay, and it was the first thing in the whole trial.

        And then next came the 10 trials of hell. As the test progress, there were times where I thought the test was going to end. And then I hear "Turn the page to section 5, turn the page to section 8..." I was like "THERE'S FUCKING 10 SECTIONS." Holy hell. I read up that it was going to be 4, as in, critical reading, math, and grammar. Guess they were divided into timed section-sections. Anyways, to make a long and stressful period short: math was somewhat not too difficult, just time-consuming, critical reading sucked ass because I once turned a page and it was literally a full page of just Richard Nixon talking about kitchen appliances. I'm like 'HOLY HELL." I can't believe I managed to answer most of the questions on that, because that story was fucking long.

        Same goes for the other passages. They give us around 30 seconds to 1 minute per question, and shit, that's barely any time to read the whole thing when you've never seen it before. So, pretty sure that's a 50/50. And grammar, which I think I did the best on, because most of the answers were kinda obvious. And yes, there was a clock, but it was right above me, and looking up above me and looking back down at my test would've been too tedious and impractical. Umm, started at 8:30 AM, ended at 12:45 PM.

        It was planned that the cast and I would go to Ag's house today, but she forgot she had church until 8:00 PM so that was a no no pretty much. Fortunately, that meant more time for me to get some levels on Fallout. I came home, changed, sat down, opened up my laptop, and see there was a letter. It was from my mom apparently, with her words "Happy birthday, my sweet son" and she drew a picture of me and her with a heart. Awww man, see, I do love my parents, and they love me, but showing affection and all this mushy-gushy stuff, it's so embarrassing, heh. But, it's okay. My mom knows I'm grateful for it, even if I didn't show it. There was $100 in the letter, which I could've cared less about, I actually payed more attention to the letter because my mom never really did anything like this before. A hand-written letter or something similar to that, I guess.

        And so, I played Fallout pretty much the whole day after I got home. It was a reward for going through the shithole known as the SAT, heh. I also Skyped with my cousin, played a bit of League once again with my buddies late at night (like, about an hour and a half ago), as well as answering a ton of "Happy birthday" posts on my wall. Ah, Facebook. Best part about the wall posts was probably Yue saying happy birthday again, heh. That was pretty unexpected and cool. Ah, 100% Chance of Bad. Not a bad series.

        It's currently 1:04 AM. I'm gonna be fucked over my work tomorrow, so there's that. But right now, I'll be on Fallout just a bit more. Uhh, so yeah. Not as long as I thought this post was gonna be, but I think it's because I didn't wanna go too much into detail on the SAT, because I don't wanna talka about it again for a loooong time, heh. Okie dokie, that's it for now, see ya.

What a nice letter

        Besides of the usual stuff today and KDT practice and no being able to get my nap in today, it's 9:32 PM and I'm sleepy. Which is for once, good, considering I gotta wake up at 6:00 AM. I just wanna go to sleep right now, reading SAT question examples got me really tired and bored. See ya tomorrow.

        Highlights of the day would probably be free time in Psychology, no composition for the rest of the semester since we technically already did one before on the Scarlet Letter, umm, no real highlight for Biology, heh, it was just notes Umm, math was just the usual, Lunch, Am came by again, except DrewN had to meet up with his buddy, that one girl that dislikes my presence, and uh, I found again that Am and I don't really have much to talk about. Like, there's no common ground besides school. Like, ehhhh.

        US History was just free time during a movie on gangsters in the 20's and 30's, and finally, free time to work on Chromebooks for Chinese. Reason why I'm just doing a short post today is because it's 2:16 AM, heh, and I'm not even in bed yet. So yeah, I'll be doing nothing but reading SAT shit and playing Fallout 4 tomorrow. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Fireking (Years and Years // Galantis) - The White Panda

        There was something good that came out of freezing my fingers doing homework while watching the other KDT members practice their auditions. It was just a simple "Do you know a Vl?" "Yeah, she's in my Chinese class."

        It all started with Psychology. No, not really, but it was a nice time to relax because we got done with our bootleg group presentations about drugs. Tomorrow I think, uh, not really sure what we're doing, I know it won't be too stressful, I hope. English, the composition and largely-impact-ful test is coming inevitably. We're reading up on a lot of bootleg authors of poems and shit like Poe and Dickinson. But other than that, work at home ain't all that bad, just a bit of reading and those bootleg study.com quizzes.

        So this is where I talk about the status between Lt and I, and I'm afraid to say that it's just kinda, there. That's the best way I can describe it right now. I used to look forward to our conversations, mostly because it was short and I only had a limited time to do so. But now that I spend my entire break with her and her buddies, she's just talking about random shit and/or playing Hearthstone on her phone. It's just boring now that I think about it. When was the first time I talked to her? Like, season 6 I think? It's season 16 now, so, 10 seasons in.

        I guess it may have something to do with this excitement thing I've talked about before, and how I get bored when there ain't any twists coming in. And also Vl currently. I blame the scriptwriters doing shitty for me and Lt and moving the budget for some upcoming episodes with Vl. Who's Vl you ask? That's the girl that interacted with my in 6th grade, who was a grade lower than me. This better be good, scriptwriters. Anyways, Biology was forgiving today. The teacher was out for some reason, so she sent us a message to bring our textbooks as it's gonna be a catch-up day today, being able to finish notes in class, finish the POGILS, etc.

        It already sucked that I had to bring my heavy textbook, but that I forgot I took pictures of the other textbook, so I didn't even need to bring it. I was like "Aw, FUCK." Basically like that. Math was pretty much the same, just, lesson, start on work, etc. Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention yesterday that we got our tests back from last week. 61/76, not bad, heh, considering there were people who did substantionally worse than me. I was surprised actually that I did so well. I was also surprised that I did stupid mistakes and that was the reason why I coudl've gotten a 100% but didn't.

        Lunch, no Am today, I think uh, she won't be returning for a while, heh. It was just the usual cast again. US History was alright, just some work in class, drawing, and viewing pictures from the Great Depression and we gotta write a narrative of a person depicted in one of those pictures. Ehhhh. Chinese was the usual again, we just practiced the vocabulary for the lesson. I'm still not sure about El's uh, point-of-view on our matter, but when wanting to switch seats with the girl who sits next to Jk, she didn't really want to, and so, if she can't sit with Jk (or, just not next to me), then uh, she wouldn't either, so, when the seating chart was being passed around to be filled out, she put her name so that she and that girl would be sitting together up front and Jk next to me. It's all very confusing-sounding when explaining, much easier to understand visually.

        But that's pretty much all the drama there is in Chinese right now. Luckily, these seats will only be for the rest of the semester. So, pretty much only 2 more weeks in these seats and for this lesson, it ain't gonna last forever. Afterschool, I headed on over to the L-circle (area in front of the L-building, a big circle pretty much, heh) and just watched the practice for KDT while doing work. More distracting than you think with the music, dancing, people coming in and out, people, etc. I did talk a lot though, interacted with the usual people, along with Vh, you know, the one from 100% Chance of Bad. Yeah, she's still here, and she's pretty chill 'bout things too.

        She also played a major role this episode as when she asked me what period I had Chinese now, I responded with "6th still." She's like "Aw man, all the juniors are in 6th period. My class period is literally just 3 juniors, including me, the rest are sophomores." So, knowing that Vl is a sophomore currently, I thought it'd be a good idea to ask "Do you know a Vl?" "Yeah, she's in my Chinese class." Well. Problem solved right there, heh. I asked again and she confirmed, 4th period. So, uh, heh, looks like the next couple episodes might be some surprised specials, excluding Saturday, that's already confirmed.

        You know, I'm not really sure, but, I probably could've figured it out eventually, just by curiosity. I searched up Vl's name on Instagram, out of curiosity, didn't really hope for anything, and bam. There's her Instagram, yep, that's her alright, looks to be the same old Vl, except, more uh, High-school-y, heh. She also included her Twitter on Instagram and holy fuck, does she tweet a lot. She's also going to Sadie's apparently, this Saturday, and by one of those large-scale proposals with the human letter signs.

        I'm keeping my expectations low, but you never know. I'm not expecting like, "HOLY SHIT, IT'S THE DREW FROM 6TH GRADE." More like, "Oh, yo, how you been," heh. Anyways, at least it all brings excitement to the series, that's what I like. Umm, Friday, gonna be a prequel to the fuckfest, Saturday... huge fuckfest. Alright, I'll see you- uh, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Shall We Dance - SNUPER(스누퍼)

        If I procrastinate and save shit 'till Thursday night, shit's gonna kill me. So, I'll be chunking down work for once... starting tomorrow, because I really wanna have enough time tonight to kill the Swan in Fallout 4 so I can start using the Powerfist over a sharp tire iron.

        Anyways, we're having a sub for the rest of the week for Psych. Doesn't matter really, we just present to our groups using Chromebooks and shit. Not exactly exciting, but, I'll take what non-stressful work I can get. English, now that shit's gonna fuck me over when I'm not expecting it. It's gonna go from 0 to 100 real quick, as in, from in-class discussions to fucking compositions. FUCK. As for Lt and I, it's pretty usual again, nothing much going on.

        Biology is just gonna rape me, I just know it. What's bad is that the teacher knows it, knows most of us, considering the past few tests and quizzes, that we're probably not prepared, like, at all. The semester's almost over (fortunately, or unfortunately) and people are barely staying above C-drowning level. Today she talked about how uh, word spread around that she doesn't teach. As in like, for example, "Omg, Ms.Blank's such a bad teacher, she doesn't even teach us anything."

        She was fine with it, fine with people's opinions, but, of course, the only reason why it feels that way is because she's prepping us for college in which we'll have to do a lot of self-studying. And also she wants us to find out about things ourselves, which is justifiable. And then she tells us these stories and examples of her colleagues, family, and friends with their college experiences. And so, in class today, she had us take notes. Like, with our partner sitting next to us, we'd go through a textbook, and just take notes. Just take 'em.

        For math, pretty much just the usual, except we didn't learn a new lesson, just practice of the one we did yesterday. Probably because the teacher just wants to time the lessons so that we end up with a test, just one, before review time for finals. Lunch, now that definitely brought some flavor to this season. I'm walking with DrewN after math sine we have the same class, we're walking over to the lockers and we see Am (Am? It's been a while since I 'bout her so not sure what name I actually used for her).

        She comes along with us, hangs out with us at the lockers. She's close with DrewN, umm, to me, not so much anymore... it's a really long story, alright? We sit down, umm, talk about random shit, somebody brings up the topic of crushes and was like "Do YOU like anybody?" I'm like "For fuck's sake, not this again." Soon, Ek, Ag, and Jk arrive and it becomes this whole moshpit of gossip. I can see now why it's such a good topic, because new intel just sounds so good to know.

        I learned a lot of shit, even got updated on stuff going around. Such as, Am not being all tight with her buddy anymore, Ek used to like Ec, whole ton of fucking crazy shit. Jk sorta liking that girl who sits next to him in Chinese now, like, damn, what the shit my African American brethren. Umm, it was fun though, we trust each other enough to know that we won't fuck each other over by telling anyone else. And it was nice to talk to Am again, after... well, good thing I'm not keeping count, heh,

        US History was nothing much, just research topics, draw pictures for them, 2nd semester schedules were passed out during SSR. All my classes are year-long so there probably won't be any changes at all I hope. Chinese, I guess I was wrong with the tension between me and El yesterday, because today, since that girl Jk sits next to was on a field trip today, she sat up front next to Jk instead. When Jk asked where the other girl was gonna sit, she said she could just sit next to me. I'm like "Uh, huh." Also nothing much besides sign language in Chinese today.

        So, work, heh. And studying. Pretty much what's gonna be going on for the rest of this week 'till Saturday. All I want for my birthday is a big booty ho. Just kidding, heh, I finally looked up where that was from, wasn't disappointed. Umm, all-day Fallout 4 session would be nice. I don't actually have things planned as I think I procrastinated on my birthday plans a bit too hard.

        Other than that, I got a +1 to my detective skills today. So. With the talk about crushes and shit today, I remembered there was this one girl back in 6th grade who apparently liked me. I, I don't even, I'm not sure why I acted oblivious at that time, back in 6th grade. It was fairly obvious, people told me, it was obvious to everybody, I just didn't do anything about it, I just let it happen I guess, heh. She was a grade lower than me, I'm talking 'bout, she was in 5th grade, I was in 6th. I didn't realize that 'till towards the end of the year. Yeah.

        I basically just forgot about her, or like, didn't really care much. She had a Facebook back then, with a fake name. She used it to solely add me, heh, and uhh, it's been deleted for a while now. Not sure if she even lives in this city anymore, 'till today. I remember her first name, wasn't very clear on her last name. Remembered that I still had my 6th grade yearbook archived, looked it up, bam, there was her name. I got her last name wrong these whole years. And so, I proceeded to check Facebook, only to come up with irrelevant people, or just dead accounts. My last resort was to check the Schoolloop email, in which when I typed her name, it did come up. And you know what it said?

        "Grade 10." I was like "It's either her, or just a really big coincidence." I'm pretty sure it's her, I mean, what are the odds of a person have the same name as her and be one grade below me. It's not even that common of a name either. So there's that, that was the little, whatever, for the episode, nice twist. Umm, it's 11:51 PM, I gotta get back to work, events will soon unfold when they do and um, yeah, see ya.

Week: 16
Songs to Remember: Sorry - Justin Bieber

        Well hello, it's been a while since I've seen this blank slate on my PC screen. There's a lot of things I need to worry about, but it also comes with a side of relaxation. Also, lots of new things added for this season to shake things up a bit.

        Free period essentially for Psychology as my group member did essentially all the slides for our PowerPoint on meth. I completely forgot about it until after I came in the classroom. I was like "Awww FUCK." I was hoping for notes. It's actually not even that relevant as the AP Psych test doesn't discuss too much about drugs, it's just "interesting," according to my teacher, heh. I agree. So I just did some practice questions on Khan academy for the SAT.

        English, we discussed a bit of Poe's Usher story, then finished the rest of "The Crucible." To be honest, it went from 0 to 100 real quick, heh. Plot was nice, characters were nice, ending was pretty bootleg. I'd give it an 8/10, not bad, but, it's just kinda ehhhh at some parts, overall a fun movie and play. Umm, yeah, Lt and i are still the same old same old, convo's are still the same old. It's just us, going from English to the bottom of the L building, sitting down, and trying to retain our body temperatures as it's fucking like, 50 degrees at 10:00 AM.

        Biology is fucking uh, kinda shitty. I got some work that's due Friday, and then, probably gonna need to study a ton after I finish this SAT soon. Math, just the usual shit really. Lunch, I completely forgot there was a KDT meeting,.. fuck. US History, my seat's officially moved, umm, I don't really enjoy it that much, it's kinda in a bootleg spot right now, right smack-dab in the middle. Good news is that I finished reading "Pay It Forward." Only took about 2 months I guess of full-on SSR. It was an alright book, pretty interesting. For History, nothing much, just some notes, lecture, eh.

        Chinese, new seats baby. Thing is, we get to choose our seats. Now the thought didn't come into my mind that we got to CHOOSE our own seats (otherwise I would've made my decision more carefully), until after I decided to just sit down at the same group as Jk, who's sitting next to this one girl who's in KDT and the one who is in my math class, and also sat in front of me in math last year. I didn't realize that El would probably want to sit near Jk until it was too late, heh. So, that's what's happened. She sits next to me, all for the benefit of sitting behind Jk.

        So uh, yeah. You know, I think the tension, it's still there, it's visible, but, it's simmered down a lot already, because this time she spoke to me, or, sorta, after about, pretty much an entire year. HOLY SHIT, now that's a while, one whole year. Anyways, not much work today for Chinese, all in all, this season's spiced up already. Afterschool, it was just, watching the KDT members practice, for the people who didn't attend Saturday practice, like me, we don't get to audition for Lunar Show (like, audition as a group, a club, to have a segment in the Lunar Show), we'll still be in it though.

        And even with a thick shirt and sweater on, it was about 60 degrees Fahrenheit still, even at 4:00 PM. Fucking cold. Overall, I didn't miss much, even for the other "Danger" by BTS. So there's that. Umm, other than that, I don't have to worry about much, yet. As long as I keep calm (that's the word I was looking for), I'll hopefully be able to keep this all stress-free for a bit, just, maybe 'till Christmas break. And so, that's it for today, I've also updated the song list finally and found a boatload of new songs to add. Uh, see ya.

Songs to Remember:

        Alright, just seeing all these notifications on Facebook remind me of how much shit I gotta do for the next 2 weeks. The worries stack on hard after not worrying at all during break.

        I don't wanna think anymore of it, because I'll be tired anyways tomorrow as I gotta catch up on shit for KDT. Got that 2 hours tomorrow, and 2 hours Wednesday, then show up and hopefully not need to do anything on Friday since I missed Saturday's practice.

        As for other work, I'm sorta stacked on tests and quizzes for Friday, the day before everything happens. And uh, tonight, I gotta read Edgar Allen Afro's "Usher." So, yeah, see ya.

Songs to Remember: A Year Like a Day - 2LSON

        Holy Fallout. I spent the entire day just playing it (after getting home that is). There is literally so much to do.

        I've only gotten to level 7 so far, and Blitz level 2 is only available at level 29. Damn. Anyways, nothing new, nothing too exciting or life-changing. I still need to read some Edgar Allen Poe shit for English, and study SAT shit. Other than that, it's kinda whatever. Umm, it's been a lot of uh, relaxation, but not the lazy kinda, as in, sleep all I want. More of, get up, do something, have fun with it.

        My cousins are still in LA. They'll be going home tomorrow morning and when they do, it's all just "Need for Speed" for them, just like Fallout 4 for me. So uh, yeah, I'm kinda tired now, see ya.

Friday, November 27, 2015 "What a Break."

Songs to Remember: Get Lost (Drive All Night Remix) - Icona Pop

        When having as much fun as this, you do lose a sense of all your worries, just in that period of time. And why would there need to be worry anyways? It's a vacation, a break, a rest, a well-deserved rest, so no need to stress out.

        We did wake up early today, not that too early, but, earlier than what I would wake up at over a break. Went downstairs for breakfast as usual, then headed on out for some Black Friday shopping. I never actually go Black Friday shopping, but this time is an exception.

        We went to the mall, Fry's Target, Wal-Mart, ate Japanese fondue, GameStop, and around some more places. Most of it was just looking around, but then we finally got a Wal-Mart that had both "Need for Speed," the game my cousin wanted, and "Fallout 4," a game that didn't really interest me until recently, in which now I'm totally into, heh. The deal at Wal-Mart was such a steal- buy 1 game, get the 2nd one 50% off. So, we were expecting 2 $60 games to cost only $90, which is a steal already. Turns out, Fallout 4 at that Wal-Mart was only $50, so it was $80 instead. We essentially saved $40, what a fucking steal.

        There were plenty of bootleg shenanigans along the way, such as seeing a dude who was caught stealing get handcuffed, a keyboard that cost $100 more than a regular one only because it was red instead of blue, and getting the same guy twice when we went to Fry's for the first time and the second time. All in all, pretty fun, pretty relaxing, no stress really, just plain ol', whatever.

        SAT? KDT practice? Finals? Nah, it's Thanksgiving break, vacation, rest, no need to worry, just enjoy it while it lasts. So if you'll excuse me, I'll just be looking up some Fallout 4 stealth melee VATS builds. See ya.
