Songs to Remember: Prayer in C - Lilly Wood and The Prick (Robin Schullz Remix)
So I went to the optometrist today. It's been about, a year. Maybe 6 months ago. Don't really remember when how long ago I went.
Took about 2 hours. And a half. My parents always picks the shadiest places for doctors. I go to a different optometrist or doctor every single time, my parents can't just stick with one place. *sigh* anyway, I was deciding whether I wanted to go with contacts or keep with the glasses. Ehhh. The main thing I'm concerned with with contacts is putting it in my eye. I don't thin like putting objects in my eye. Contacts do eliminate the need for choosing frames though. Out insurence covers only $200 for frames, and of course, all the good-looking ones are $220.
I ended up picking a frame that looks, fairly similar to the glasses I have now. The eye exam was pretty s***. As in, my eyesight turned to s***. Reading the first 3 lines were alright, last line was not legible. The doctor dude was pretty concerned with that, but like, it's not like I'm going to need to be able to read 0.1 inch font from 2 miles away anyways. He had his assistant in the room, and normally I'm really just comfortable with just the doctor and me. But I noticed she was taking notes and I was like "Oh". A student. Never mind then. Carry on.
As we were finishing the tests, the doctor dude was like "Your vision's changing quite a bit. We'll definitely have to keep an eye on you". And I was like "Was that pun intended?" The dude didn't even know he made an eye pun. But damn, was that boot-f***ing-leg. And so, yeah. That was a long 2 hours.
Umm, I'll update the songlist tomorrow. Really tired, Trove really takes up a lot of energy. I think that was a Trove pun. And damn, did I forget a lot of things. I'll try to remember tomorrow, I'll try. See you tomorrow. God, these are such inconsistent posts.

Songs to Remember: Ghost in Your Mind - Feel Kim
I am so inconsistent when it comes to posting. One day I make a nice, thoughtful traditional post, the next day I do a s***post. I was this close to dozing off and not doing a real one right now.
So we watched more of that documentary on the Nanking genocide. Pretty disturbing stuff. We're still not finished with it I think, maybe about 10 minutes of it left. English, yeah I didn't really do much in English today. Just, more time to use the Chromebooks. My teacher though, she was like "I know how you guys have a lot of work, in trying to minimize the stress on you all by having work be done during class time" and I was like "OH THANK YOU BASED TEACHER". Was like a prophecy had been fulfilled. I've never hears a teacher say that.
So the teacher was discussing about what we put on these Venn diagrams that we made on Wednesday. It was an online Venn diagram site and the topic was on curfew (not the real topic, this was just practice for using logos, pathos, etc). We were the role of a dude/girl and we're dating a dude/girl and we want to go see a movie but your parents are strict on your curfew. If you saw the movie, you'd be late by an hour. So you had to come up with arguments that support and ones that go against why you're allowed to go.
The important part was to come up with stuff for the middle of the Venn diagram, the "common grounds". So, I pur "Have parents supervise", "Call/ notify parents when arriving to and from the theater, calling to make sure, etc", and "Have a GPS turned on for the entire time". The teacher described all those that I put and she said that they were pretty good at getting your parents to allow you. It'd work. And I was just thinking to myself like "Awww yeah baby". Got em' all on my diagram. And so, we worked on the Chromebooks for a bit after that, and after the lesson she taught because some of us don't use the word "bias" and "biased" correctly. Like, come on people, get with the program.
As I was saying, we were working on the Chromebooks and the teacher was apparently grading the Venn diagrams (continued) and she just bursted out laughing all of a sudden. She was like "It doesn't matter, he will still be the father of my babies. That's what someone wrote for their common grounds! I don't think your parents will let you go even he will still be the father of your babies!" And I was like "Huh, that's one to write down". And, well, here I am. And so, after class, I went to the L building to meet up with that one girl and get my Thai Iced Milk Tea. I haven't had one in a while. I do not remember the last time I had one.
So, I sat there while she made it. Very awkward. Her Hatsune Miku pillow owner BF came, aaand she was done. I apparently only had two dollars on me, so she was like "Aight, you can pay me back on Monday". Getting my stuff, I put my phone down and went my way. Then I felt a disturbance in my pocket; my phone wasn't there. I'm like "F***". So I went back to get it, and well, I got it. And that brings me to a chat I had with my buddies on Skype. They somehow got onto the topic of body pillows, I described how this one dude posted a pic of his Hatsune Miku one on Facebook, then my bud was like "Oh hey, he's dating that one girl" and I'm like "Yeah, that lucky son of a b***** n*qqa (Inside joke btw, not trying to be ghetto).
So he was like "Ay, what are you talking about, she's like a 5/10". Then I'm like "Eh, I give her a 6.5/10". Then he told me how shady she was, how she called rape after getting angry with her old BF. They did it, then got into a heated argument, called rape, almost got the dude expelled. I asked "How do you know this?" He replied "Cc sent me screenshots of the convo". I was like "O". Well, turns out she ain't a virgin. You learn something disturbing everyday. And like my bud once said (which was today, on Skype, in a chat message, and I quote), "damn, girls r scry". Okay, well not really quoted, but close enough. And yes, they are scary. Insert Hall and Oates' "Maneater" here please. Woahhh, here she comes. Watch out boy, shell chew you up! Woahhh, here she comes.
P.E. Table tennis. I'm slowly unlocking my true potential. I started on the 5th table for singles, almost threw multiple times. Got up to table 3 now. Still, I am uncertain I will get any farther than this. It's always been a trend where I start either low or middle, then go up, then go back down or the middle. Always. Anyways, just gotta keep the ball on the table and wait for the opponent to make mistakes and throw. Also, backhand everything. Me and this obe girl have been at the 5th table and moved up to the 3rd. Just a friend, I assure you, heh. Like seriously, no no no, just a friend. Will bo beyond the classmate level. I got several levels of closeness: first is stranger, then person I know, then classmate, then group member, then friend, then buddy, then best buddy, and then... well that level will be established once someone's reached it, heh.
Umm, so, I finished my work last night, and well, I actually enjoyed my lung without the stress of having to rush and finish work within 30 minutes. Also, rap battles. There's been a couple rap battles at school, where the seniors are at. We gear them from across where we are. We hear "OOOHHHH" and that's it. I wish someone would yell "HAPPY FEET, WOMBO COMBO" or when someone gets the other good, they'd be like "THAT UP-SMASH" or "THAT AIN'T FALCO". But no, all I hear is "Fight, fight, fight" and that's by me, heh. Just kidding by the way, I don't believe in fights. I believe in duels, where the loser gets sent to the shadow realm. Those kind of fights.
Umm, chemistry, completely skipped that. Or actually, I think I got off track and forgot about it. Anyways, we're currently learning about converting molar mass of stuff to volume and moles, Avogadro's numbers, the like. The teacher played an Austin Powers movie after the lesson while we were working on the homework. I believe that the sentence I just said was completely incorrect because, I've never watched Austin Powers, nor do I know if it's a T.V show, oooorr movie. Umm, pretty sure it's a movie. He showed us the part where Austin was like "Moley moley moley..." So, what is wanted to talk about in chemistry was that there are grams, liters, units like that right. Well for some, we use F.U, which stands for formula units.
I know, F.U does look and sound like "F- You". So, my teacher suggested that if we wanted to curse at somebody, we'd instead say "Formula Unit!" and they wouldn't understand it. It's the perfect plan. F.U! Formula Unit! And now for the best news in math history: my bad grades won't be bad. I know for SURE I got a s*** score on both the tests I took this week for math. The eaxher was disappointed in everybody, she talked to the other math teacher (my last year's Geometry teacher) and he was disappointed too. So, knowing that "We're all in this together!", the teacher did something that she had never done before in her 20 years of teaching. At the end of the semester, she was gonna drop our lowest test score. Just remove it entirely. She said she had never done it before and doesn't plan to ever again, just this one time, heh.
Do you know how much this means to me? OH THANK YOU BASED PYTHAGORAS. A squared plus B squared equals F is gone from my grade. Ohhhh baby. Also, work. But hey, it's pretty, ugh, ehhh, uhhh, fairly challenging, I'll stop at that. And for Chinese class, I ended up awkward again while reading the book aloud with my partner (not Zi this time) in the front of the classroom (we always have these kind of reads). And I always gotta remind myself "Hey, no one's gonna remember this. This s*** ain't important to remember, and if someone does and brings it up, then they definitely don't have anything better to talk about". Like a quote that I still follow today, it went something like "Be glad it's over". As in, be glad the embarrassing moment was over. Works actually really well for me.
I know that my buddies and people I know and stuff will fluctuate after this year, but hey, it's been pretty interesting. It's kept me entertained so far, and that's good. On the bright side, I've gained the ability to crack my left wrist. Feels good man. Also, I will be updating my song list tomorrow. Or whenever I can. Anyways, gonna go to sleepy time now. Also, Lunar show tickets are sold out. Well, shoot, looks like I gotta stay home and play video games all day long. Thank you based Pythagoras. See you tomorrow.

Thursday, January 29, 2015 "Over Thinking."
Thursday, January 29, 2015
Week: 24
Songs to Remember: Ghost in Your Mind - Feel Kim
Am I thinking too far ahead? Should I be thinking far ahead? Just thinking about how I'm gonna be somewhat social on a Saturday night is already bringing on the anxiety.
I plan on going to the Lunar show (event at my school theater where they show performances of Asian cultural dances, singing, etc) this Saturday night, along with my buddy from tutoring. Ai was my name for him right? Ai. Gotta remember that. Anyways, it means that I'll have to interact with people. I don't wanna be like how I did when I went to watch The Purge: Anarchy alone. Just gonna get there, meet up with my buddy, sit back, and relax. With loud music of course. Also I heard it was going to be for around 2-3 hours. Dear lord, what are they gonna do besides singing and dancing?
Just thinking about going to social events like that are bringing on some anxiety. With the thoughts of having to learn how to drive soon, MAYBE (maybe) take some summer classes for whatever reason, getting a part-time job to make some extra dough, CAHSEE testing this year, essays in English, and passing Algebra II/ Trig with a B or higher, is enough to make me sigh. But that's not even the beginning. I still have AP tests to take to make it into AP classes, take AP Psychology and AP Chemistry, SAT, SAT, SAT, college entrance exams, college registration, college classes, college, college essays, college, collage, collages, picture collages, not taking enough pictures, *sigh*. My mom wants me to take a community college then transfer to real one to save money, but then, what am I working for then? The extra work will be for naught if I'm just going to a community college first.
The big question is, am I overthinking again? I've just turned 16, have yet to go hard in the paint in society and my social circle, and I'm trying to keep myself from drowning in math. And I just finished late-night math work. And I don't do any sports or extra-curricular activities. Should I be thinking about responsibility right now? Or should I just have fun while I still have the time? Next year's gonna be hectic. This year's just preparing me for the hectic. Senior year's gonna be just tying up loose ends and chances to go hard in the paint. Then, well, I don't really know how well it's gonna go after that. We'll see. So, I guess I am over thinking. Just a little bit.
Right now, I think I just need to breathe, work, breathe, work, and do whatever the f*** I want. When summer hits, I'll have the time to think stuff over. So, have fun while it lasts it is. That includes finding posts on Facebook and other social media to screenshot for future meming. Today this dude, the guy who posted that picture of his Hatsune Miku pillow, posted a status saying, and I quote, "I love tricking stupid teenage boys on League into thinking I'm a cute girl XDD". And I'm just like "Wh-. But you that's not something to tell every soul on Facebook". And then I thought, "YOU. ARE. A. TEENAGE BOY". That was supposed to be in the voice of Woody by the way. Seriously, this dude is 16. He is still a " stupid teenage boy". Practicing to be bait on "To Catch a Predator" is not a very fun job. Like my best bud always said (and by always I mean once, today), "Teenage boys only feel two things: horny and angry". Sadly, true. Also gonna add depressed in there too. But, really, true.
Umm, so yeah. Don't really like saying that 'cause it sounds ignorant, but yeah. I don't know anymore, man. S*** like this is what's gonna f***ing kill me. Oh and that reminds me. Punch is a really nice Korean Drama. Mostly for its soundtrack. I have yet to watch an episode. Still, after watching the MV for "Ghost in Your Mind", I feel like writing a Mystery, Detective, Action, Drama story, that's like, difficult to understand, but there are points in the story where all the events connect together and it all makes sense, then you're like "Ohhhhh". That kind of story.
Got a lot of work to do. First thing on the list: breathe. Now this was a traditional post. See you tonorrow.

Songs to Remember: Hell Song - Sum 41
Well today I studied my ass off, reading the math book in and out along with the notes. Everyone was saying the test was hard. It was.
I did not finish, I was never going to be able to finish. The teacher said to skip the ones you didn't know so as to not spend too kuch time on a problem. My plan was to do all the easy ones first and quickly. But then when I was like "Yo, there AREN'T any easy ones". I just worked through, trying to finish as many as I could. A lot of the stuff on the test, we didn't really focus on. That's because the test was made by another teacher, so he included basically stuff je focused on in his class, whereas for us, we skipped a couple sections, only did a few examples in class, and no focus at all on word problems. There were word problems on the test. I had no interest in even looking at the second one, not enough time.
So, this was probably the hardest test for me so far, the 1st semester math finals were easier in my opinion. Uhhh, probably gonna get an F, the teacher will most likely hand out compensation points because of low scores. Tomorrow we'll be going back to the old book and uh, yeah.
I'm studying hard right now for an English vocabulary test tomorrow. Also, I've got ANOTHER math test tomorrow. Doo-da-la-la-la-la-la. Also, starting singles tournament do table tennis tomorrow. My partner and I finished at the 5th table so, for me, it's ehh. We kinda threw, eh, we always throw. Every single team we were up against, there was always one person getting carried. Not fair. Until tomorrow, where I won't hold anything back and I will destroy my opponents quick and painlessly, no matter how sucky they are. In table tennis of course, might I remind you.
The project for World History that was due today, my group members did all of it yesterday at home, but I didn't. So, I was working on it aaand that girl (let's just call her Hatsune so I don't have to keep using pronouns), was kneeling at my desk (our group was arranged with me, then the dude in the back of me and Hatsune sitting to my right for the group). Aaand I guess she helped me finish it. Yesterday she said "I'm surprised you know my last name" and I'm just like "Oh ho, I know everyone's last name actually".
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to studying now. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Hell Song - Sum 41
Well today I studied my ass off, reading the math book in and out along with the notes. Everyone was saying the test was hard. It was.
I did not finish, I was never going to be able to finish. The teacher said to skip the ones you didn't know so as to not spend too kuch time on a problem. My plan was to do all the easy ones first and quickly. But then when I was like "Yo, there AREN'T any easy ones". I just worked through, trying to finish as many as I could. A lot of the stuff on the test, we didn't really focus on. That's because the test was made by another teacher, so he included basically stuff je focused on in his class, whereas for us, we skipped a couple sections, only did a few examples in class, and no focus at all on word problems. There were word problems on the test. I had no interest in even looking at the second one, not enough time.
So, this was probably the hardest test for me so far, the 1st semester math finals were easier in my opinion. Uhhh, probably gonna get an F, the teacher will most likely hand out compensation points because of low scores. Tomorrow we'll be going back to the old book and uh, yeah.
I'm studying hard right now for an English vocabulary test tomorrow. Also, I've got ANOTHER math test tomorrow. Doo-da-la-la-la-la-la. Also, starting singles tournament do table tennis tomorrow. My partner and I finished at the 5th table so, for me, it's ehh. We kinda threw, eh, we always throw. Every single team we were up against, there was always one person getting carried. Not fair. Until tomorrow, where I won't hold anything back and I will destroy my opponents quick and painlessly, no matter how sucky they are. In table tennis of course, might I remind you.
The project for World History that was due today, my group members did all of it yesterday at home, but I didn't. So, I was working on it aaand that girl (let's just call her Hatsune so I don't have to keep using pronouns), was kneeling at my desk (our group was arranged with me, then the dude in the back of me and Hatsune sitting to my right for the group).

Songs to Remember: Rilla Go - DGNA
So my buddy tells me that the test is gonna be worth 100% of our grade so far. The bell rang, I went to class, I look at the homework board and right there where it says "Test tomorrow", there was "100% grade" written below it. So that's that.
Well, the test I'll be taking tomorrow for math is either gonna rape my grade, or it's gonna give it a brand new meaning of life. I'm leaning towards the rape. Seriously, remembering all these patterns and s*** and what to do with them is just shhhhhh-. I mean, 100% of our grade? Come on man, I died a little inside when I saw that. Oh and that's not all for this week. On Wednesday we're gonna do a "performance task", this new s*** that the education system's bringing in, that's gonna be worth 30% of our grade. Yep, sucked my math soul right from their sockets.
This week's gonna be pretty interesting alright. Interesting start, most likely gonna be an interesting finish. Interesting as in new, but also stupid. I've heard a lot of stupid stuff so I might as well tell some of it and then get back to the usual post. So, the best one I can remember right now is during P.R today and I overheard this one girl said "Why is Orange such an ugly color? It's so bland". And in just like "*sigh*, I can't wait to write about this". But now I can't remember the rest of their conversation damn it. Oh and during World History, these two dudes were like, scheduling a duel or something. One dude was like "Hey you wanna duel next Tuesday?" And then they discussed how one of them was using a newer deck (Battling Boxers, ehhh) and the other an older deck (zombies). And I was just like "How do these things even occur?"
And now I can't remember the rest of the other stupid stuff. The times where I'm writing are the times I forget. *sigh*. Anyways, here's the rest of the day. World History, project, make a PowerPoint talking about the start to finish of a genocide. Woohoo am I right. Just kidding, it's more boring than it actually sounds. But to increase the fun factor, we have to do it in groups. Yaaaay. F*** me in the ass that's what. My group consists of me, a dude, and a girl. It turned out to be: eh, to the most eh it can be. One of them is the girl who's the ladyfriend of the dude who posted his Hatsune Miku pillow on Facebook while the dude is the guy who was being requested a duel. Yeah. Very interesting start.
We started off by me creating the group PowerPoint on Google Drive, knowing thwir names but getting the accounts wrong (why are the last names Phan and Pham a thing? Come on now). And during the end of the period does the teacher tell us that it's due tomorrow, but we'll have tomorrow to work on it. We won't be presenting em', just turning em' in. Nice. English, gonna be rough, today was rough actually. Thank based classmate that the dude next to me, who requested multiple times to copy my homework and I made excuses so he couldn't, did the homework for once. I forgot that there was homework, that it was due today and not Wednesday. Then I remembered "Oh f***, reviews are on Mondays, lessons are on Wednesdays, f***, f*** me in the ass".
My classmate let me, uh, copy (I do not like that word one bit) the answers (all multiple choice really). I made sure the teacher didn't see, making sure to copy as fast as I could. Thank the lord that I have this class during 2ns period or else i wouldn't have the extra time to copy it (because there are announcements everyday during the beginning of 2nd period abd my teacher often waits for them to be over to start class). And of course, just this morning I was debating whether to put the vocabulary book into my backpack just in case I forget it. I choose today to not bring it. It wasn't needed, but goes to show my CoD timing. I owe that dude one though, he's the real MVP.
Chemistry, boring lab really. Blow balloons, measurement circumference, calculate moles, the like. We had to blow a balloon using just one breath. When calculating the volume, the teacher said that dudes range around 4000 - 5000 and ladies around 2500. I achieved about a 2500 average. *sigh*. My chest expansion isn't very wide alright? P.E, I actually did very well today. I didn't hold back today, well, maybe like a tiny bit, buuut I always tried to hit the ball as hard as I could. My partner and I actually made it to the 2nd table today, then went down, went down, and now staying at the 4th table I think. Whenever I messed up or did something stupid like serve on the wrong side and let the other team get free points while we're barely in the lead, I exclaimed "F*** me, in the butt". I don't regret saying it multiple times, gotta go for that "whatever" mindset.
Umm, math was the usual today, just review. Lots of it. Uhhh, Chinese class. 1st real day with the new seats. Umm, I guess we're a 3 person group then (including myself). Zi and I just worked on homework while the teacher was describing how we weren't doing the e-Portfolio pages correctly on our Google sites. We then previewed the new lesson (Lesson 7, addresses) abd watched a couple videos depicting the conversations from the text in the book. One of them, the one for the lesson we're starting, featured 2 dudes who were giving each other their phone numbers and asking "Where is your dorm" and all that.
One of the dudes, a tall dude, was not looking at the other guy at all during the whole scene. It looked like he was looking right beihind him, he wasn't making eye contact at all. Everyone was laughing about it, I didn't know what was going on at first 'cause I didn't understand, then the teacher explained and I was like "Best acting NA". The camera abd quality was really good though, really really nice. Just remember not look through someone's soul when asking for their phone number.
On tehnical news, I asked this one dude whom implemented some cool features into this asset for this part of a game I'm working on how he did it. He replied actually, and said he would post on the forums explaining how he'd do it. I didn't expect a reply at all, but he did and now I'm just making some props for my game while I wait for him to post how to configure my settings. Also, at about 10:40 PM or something, I received a notification for a message on Reddit. I was like "Hmm, somebody must've commented on my Trovecreations post for my bow design". Then I was like "No way". The game devs accepted my bow design (which will be used for the new class) and all I have to do now is email them the files and voila, I'll earn fame in a game. And by that, I mean my name will be in the corner of the item text and I'll receive some cool in game stuff for it too. Yeah, pretty f***ing exciting.
And now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go sleep, eat, and rest my left arm because it is now cramping from this typing. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Hohoemi no Bakudan - Matsuko Mawatari
It's sad when friends become enemies. But what's even worse is when they become strangers. That was a quote by Hayley Williams. Pretty good quote to describe a lot of people.
One of my strategies for doing work is to never wait to do all of it at the last minute because it's gonna be rough having all that. It'll be more exhausting to do all or it at once rather than like, daily. And well, these past few days I've been kinda disregarding that rule and putting off my work for a bit. And uh, by that I mean unfinished math work. I think math's kinda starting to scare me again, more than English even.
Yn actually messaged me today asking about homework. She's done that about, a lot of times. Good way to start conversations none the less. We talked about math work a lot, regarding the upcoming test and the new textbooks. We both agreed that the book was pretty confusing on its wording. She told me about how on one homework paper, she wrote "Idk" on a problem and when she got her paper back, her teacher wrote "Oh well" on it. Now that's some good correcting, heh. God, I love my old Geometry teacher. What other teacher can you say wrote "Oh well" on your paper when answering with "Idk" for a question?
Trove's got me gold again. And I'm trying to build a game in Unity whilst watching CS:GO case openings, Medabots (English dubbed too good I swear), and keeping up on Fantasy LCS. Special carry hard with them 50 points. And because of that, I now actually have a basic ubderstanding of the current teams and players. I never expected this.
I've also gotten my cousin intro the cryptocirrency scene and such. 'Cause of all the apps and surveys he's been doing to earn free money, I figured mining for coins would fit in. I was joking about it at first, but now I'm guessing he's going to be investing in Dogecoin. We've both got about 10 so far, which is equivalent to about $0.000001. We'll be rich in about a century.
Alrughty, time to get to business. And by that, I mean sleep. And I just know that I've got a bunch of stories to tell, but I can't seem to remember them right now. So, see you tomorrow.

And now here I am, sleepy again. Good thing I remembered to write something at least. I got about half of my work done so far today so, that's nice. Trove all day, also working on a new game now, hoping that it'd look cool enough to hold my attention for longer than a month. So, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Where No Eagles Fly - Julian Casablancas + The Voidz
Just when I was righ about to fall asleep, I thought "Hey, it's the weekend, s*** happened. Might as well do a real post?" Yeah, yeah sure.
Alrighty, let's get it started. World History, quizzes, yaaay. Last Friday there was one, today there was one. 2 quizzes within 2 weeks? Is this my real World History class? But seriously, the last time I remember having quizzes was back during like September and October. The quizzes weren't that hard though. Most likely because we're allowed to use our notes on em'. Which I have no problem with whatsoever. It shows that you benefit if you choose to take notes or not, soo it's actually a good system. I sure hope I get another teacher like my World History teacher and my last year's English teacher, someone who's chill and doesn't really give a s***. Nice.
Well, next week's gonna be hard. As in, I'ma have to go hard in the paint to write an argumentive essay about race. Mmmm, fun am I right. Within the first month from getting back from Christmas break and we got an essay which counts toward this s****y new common core s*** that California education is putting on us. Mhmm, can't wait. Especially when it comes to race man, like, the only reason why it's still going on is because people keep mentioning it. Like when Morgan Freeman was asked about black heritage month and how it's to support against racism and stuff and he was like "the way is to not talk about it". Like, come on, it's Morgan Freeman.
Chemistry, yeah it became boring now. Damn, and back when the year first started, when I Yue sat next to me, I thought "Now this is gonna be good". Well... Anyways, we did a pretty relaxing lab today. We just rotated around all the lab tables and measuring the mass of stuff like silicon, wax, salt, etc, then record them and find out the amount of moles for each and the like. One of the things we measured was this gold nail which was actually real gold. It was pretty big, like 8 inchss in length, about an inch wide. First time I ever touched base gold. Oh and Yn doesn't really talk to me anymore, mostly because I'm too lazy to talk to her after I exit the door. I'm pretty sure that when I post a new selfie, it'll go again.
So I've became friends with two dudes so far in this table tennis unit for P.E. The dude I'm partnered with seriously reminds so much of my old best buddy from elementary. I think now it's just 'cause he looks like him. Probably. We actually did pretty s*** today, from the 3rd table we got sent down to the 6th one. Whenever I'm against a team that I feel is below me abd my partner's skill level, I often hold back on my shots. I don't know why, maybe 'cause I'm passive, sensitive, and worried about making them feel too bad from getting beaten. Then we end up throwing the match 'cause I miss my shots when 'cause I start hitting it TOO hard.
The mindset I want is just loud. That's what I need. Just, think, f*** it. If things start to go s***, I mean, it's not like things weren' t s*** already am I right? Gotta think of a motto to go by when I start hesitating. Something like "Risk it for the biscuit" but I only use that for specific situations. I don't know, I'll think of something. Anyways, I backed out of asking Vt for a picture today 'cause I just walked by. Usually (and by usually I mean all the time) I try to walk close to people and hope that they say hi to me first. I've already had experiences, numerous experiences where I've said hi to someone and they didn't even hear it. Kinda like how fluttershy tried being loud and ended up saying "*whispers* Yay".
She keeps shouting this one dude's name right, I've heard it numerous times already. Now, I know what I'm thinking: just, go f*** it Drew. Just go do whatever and if things go s***, things were already s*** to start with anyway. Now that I think about it, asking Vt for a picture would probably make her more happy than me. And then, I could cross that off my list of s*** to do, and that would be asking someone for a picture. I was thinking of saying like I needed a picture for a project, but that's so, ehhh. Might as well just ask for a collage.
Math, oh how it's gonna go hard in the paint next week. We're switching back to different textbook, not sure if it's our old one or not. Good bye small amount of homework, hello #1-33. I'm pretty sure the new textbook has more words in it than numbers. And with that, makes trying to understand the lesson harder. Also, group members doing well. As a group. One of em's pretty cute. Found out she had a Facebook, tried adding her, I think I'm blocked now. But hey, at least she doesn't think I'm a phantasm that needs to be avoided. Now that's nice. Oh and uh, test tomorrow on what we learned so far with the new textbook. Oh how the scores will fluctuate, fluctuate hard.
Ah yes, Chinese. Today we had a test, but first, gotta change them seats. I actually forgot we were changing seats today, and when I remembered I was like "Oh right. Oh yeah". Seeing as how this one cute girl was in front of me and picked a number out of the box, I just hoped that RNGsus was with me to pick out a number in her group. 5. I got the number 5. Seat number 5 I knew was not close to her at all. Going to my seat, I see that my group member from my last group was sitting beside me. Another group member by the way. I was like "Alright, one one of us better get a move or else". Right behind me sat this one dude who I'm buddies with. Our group only had 3 seats by the way. As in 3 of the 4 seats were occupied by a person.
Moving students around who ended up with their previous group members/ are in groups of the same gender (not boy girl, boy girl). I was thinking "Hey, wouldn't it be funny it be funny if El was moved to the seat next to me?" And when moving the dude next to me, the teacher said "El, can you please change seats with him?" I was like "Oh. I didn't really mean it okay? And if it happens, it really would be a turn. And we all know there's gotta be more plot twists I mean come on, when was the last time I got one?"
But luckily, El still hasn't thought like Frozen and let it go, so she was like "Um Laoshi, I prefer to sit in the front". And she was like "Alright" (by the way, Laoshi means teacher in Chinese. I seriously don't know why she does that). I was like "Phew, oh hohoho, now that would've been a turn". Instead, and I see Zi sitting next to El, the teacher was like "Zi, can you please switch over there with Bh?" And I was like "Well Drew, you asked for it, now you got it. Have fun knowing you gotta be nothing more". And I do know that, especially for everyone in those community clubs like Key club and Interact club.
Behind me sat this one dude whom was with our Rubik's cube area during last semester's finals. Did you know that 1st semester finals are supposed to happen during January, but for our school we gotta do it right before Christmas break? It was actually supposed to be this time, but a couple years ago they moved it to December I guess because kids would forget a lot of s*** over the holidays. I don't know. So anyway, I'm sitting with Zi next to me, a dude behind me, and most likely a not so Chinese-fficient girl (who was absent today, most likely will sit in that spot on Monday). I said it because she it's easier to identify later on who it was. Not trying to be offensive or putting down anybody, just describing with something I know by. And now that I'm thinking about what I've written all here, it honestly looks like a train wreck of a writing.
Probably because I haven't written a real post in about a week. So, the Chinese test. I hoped there was no hanyu pinyin part (which is like romanization to help pronounce words), buuuut there was. The test was out of 100, there was a hanyu pinyin part, worth 20 points, got em' all wrong, ended up with barely a 72/100. But hey, it's still C. Zi got 96/100 and seemed pretty bummed out about it. To cheer her up about it, I was like "Hey, at least you didn't get a 72/100, heh".
My buddy from tutoring always walks with a female buddy exit the school and then walks back along the route he took (same as my route) thought the back of the school. I always see him, he always reminds me about getting my KDT jacket, which I don't really think I deserve because I only showed up 2 times and just whatever. Today he was like "Ay, the Lunar show's coming up soon. Wanna go with me to see it?" And I thought for a bit, knowing that I'm probably not gonna do s*** during whenever that show will be, so I was like "Sure". He was like "Aight, see you there!" Damn he is one good buddy. Too bad he's a junior, he's gonna graduate before me and go off on his own adventures soon. But hey, he's been a real good help. If only everybody had a buddy like him, heh.
So, I got work this weekend. Both physical and digital, heh. Ummm, just, do wjRver I guess, it can't get s****ier than this. There were a lot more s*** I probably could've talked about, buuuut I forgot. Gonna have to check my binder for the written notes about em' to remember em'. And it's not actual notes, it's literally like a sticky note with like one sentence so I can Rmemeber bootleg moments so I can write about em'. And now of you'll excuse me, I must see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Where No Eagles Fly - Julian Casablancas + The Voidz
Just when I was righ about to fall asleep, I thought "Hey, it's the weekend, s*** happened. Might as well do a real post?" Yeah, yeah sure.
Alrighty, let's get it started. World History, quizzes, yaaay. Last Friday there was one, today there was one. 2 quizzes within 2 weeks? Is this my real World History class? But seriously, the last time I remember having quizzes was back during like September and October. The quizzes weren't that hard though. Most likely because we're allowed to use our notes on em'. Which I have no problem with whatsoever. It shows that you benefit if you choose to take notes or not, soo it's actually a good system. I sure hope I get another teacher like my World History teacher and my last year's English teacher, someone who's chill and doesn't really give a s***. Nice.
Well, next week's gonna be hard. As in, I'ma have to go hard in the paint to write an argumentive essay about race. Mmmm, fun am I right. Within the first month from getting back from Christmas break and we got an essay which counts toward this s****y new common core s*** that California education is putting on us. Mhmm, can't wait. Especially when it comes to race man, like, the only reason why it's still going on is because people keep mentioning it. Like when Morgan Freeman was asked about black heritage month and how it's to support against racism and stuff and he was like "the way is to not talk about it". Like, come on, it's Morgan Freeman.
Chemistry, yeah it became boring now. Damn, and back when the year first started, when I Yue sat next to me, I thought "Now this is gonna be good". Well... Anyways, we did a pretty relaxing lab today. We just rotated around all the lab tables and measuring the mass of stuff like silicon, wax, salt, etc, then record them and find out the amount of moles for each and the like. One of the things we measured was this gold nail which was actually real gold. It was pretty big, like 8 inchss in length, about an inch wide. First time I ever touched base gold. Oh and Yn doesn't really talk to me anymore, mostly because I'm too lazy to talk to her after I exit the door. I'm pretty sure that when I post a new selfie, it'll go again.
So I've became friends with two dudes so far in this table tennis unit for P.E. The dude I'm partnered with seriously reminds so much of my old best buddy from elementary. I think now it's just 'cause he looks like him. Probably. We actually did pretty s*** today, from the 3rd table we got sent down to the 6th one. Whenever I'm against a team that I feel is below me abd my partner's skill level, I often hold back on my shots. I don't know why, maybe 'cause I'm passive, sensitive, and worried about making them feel too bad from getting beaten. Then we end up throwing the match 'cause I miss my shots when 'cause I start hitting it TOO hard.
The mindset I want is just loud. That's what I need. Just, think, f*** it. If things start to go s***, I mean, it's not like things weren' t s*** already am I right? Gotta think of a motto to go by when I start hesitating. Something like "Risk it for the biscuit" but I only use that for specific situations. I don't know, I'll think of something. Anyways, I backed out of asking Vt for a picture today 'cause I just walked by. Usually (and by usually I mean all the time) I try to walk close to people and hope that they say hi to me first. I've already had experiences, numerous experiences where I've said hi to someone and they didn't even hear it. Kinda like how fluttershy tried being loud and ended up saying "*whispers* Yay".
She keeps shouting this one dude's name right, I've heard it numerous times already. Now, I know what I'm thinking: just, go f*** it Drew. Just go do whatever and if things go s***, things were already s*** to start with anyway. Now that I think about it, asking Vt for a picture would probably make her more happy than me. And then, I could cross that off my list of s*** to do, and that would be asking someone for a picture. I was thinking of saying like I needed a picture for a project, but that's so, ehhh. Might as well just ask for a collage.
Math, oh how it's gonna go hard in the paint next week. We're switching back to different textbook, not sure if it's our old one or not. Good bye small amount of homework, hello #1-33. I'm pretty sure the new textbook has more words in it than numbers. And with that, makes trying to understand the lesson harder. Also, group members doing well. As a group. One of em's pretty cute. Found out she had a Facebook, tried adding her, I think I'm blocked now. But hey, at least she doesn't think I'm a phantasm that needs to be avoided. Now that's nice. Oh and uh, test tomorrow on what we learned so far with the new textbook. Oh how the scores will fluctuate, fluctuate hard.
Ah yes, Chinese. Today we had a test, but first, gotta change them seats. I actually forgot we were changing seats today, and when I remembered I was like "Oh right. Oh yeah". Seeing as how this one cute girl was in front of me and picked a number out of the box, I just hoped that RNGsus was with me to pick out a number in her group. 5. I got the number 5. Seat number 5 I knew was not close to her at all. Going to my seat, I see that my group member from my last group was sitting beside me. Another group member by the way. I was like "Alright, one one of us better get a move or else". Right behind me sat this one dude who I'm buddies with. Our group only had 3 seats by the way. As in 3 of the 4 seats were occupied by a person.
Moving students around who ended up with their previous group members/ are in groups of the same gender (not boy girl, boy girl). I was thinking "Hey, wouldn't it be funny it be funny if El was moved to the seat next to me?" And when moving the dude next to me, the teacher said "El, can you please change seats with him?" I was like "Oh. I didn't really mean it okay? And if it happens, it really would be a turn. And we all know there's gotta be more plot twists I mean come on, when was the last time I got one?"
But luckily, El still hasn't thought like Frozen and let it go, so she was like "Um Laoshi, I prefer to sit in the front". And she was like "Alright" (by the way, Laoshi means teacher in Chinese. I seriously don't know why she does that). I was like "Phew, oh hohoho, now that would've been a turn". Instead, and I see Zi sitting next to El, the teacher was like "Zi, can you please switch over there with Bh?" And I was like "Well Drew, you asked for it, now you got it. Have fun knowing you gotta be nothing more". And I do know that, especially for everyone in those community clubs like Key club and Interact club.
Behind me sat this one dude whom was with our Rubik's cube area during last semester's finals. Did you know that 1st semester finals are supposed to happen during January, but for our school we gotta do it right before Christmas break? It was actually supposed to be this time, but a couple years ago they moved it to December I guess because kids would forget a lot of s*** over the holidays. I don't know. So anyway, I'm sitting with Zi next to me, a dude behind me, and most likely a not so Chinese-fficient girl (who was absent today, most likely will sit in that spot on Monday). I said it because she it's easier to identify later on who it was. Not trying to be offensive or putting down anybody, just describing with something I know by. And now that I'm thinking about what I've written all here, it honestly looks like a train wreck of a writing.
Probably because I haven't written a real post in about a week. So, the Chinese test. I hoped there was no hanyu pinyin part (which is like romanization to help pronounce words), buuuut there was. The test was out of 100, there was a hanyu pinyin part, worth 20 points, got em' all wrong, ended up with barely a 72/100. But hey, it's still C. Zi got 96/100 and seemed pretty bummed out about it. To cheer her up about it, I was like "Hey, at least you didn't get a 72/100, heh".
My buddy from tutoring always walks with a female buddy exit the school and then walks back along the route he took (same as my route) thought the back of the school. I always see him, he always reminds me about getting my KDT jacket, which I don't really think I deserve because I only showed up 2 times and just whatever. Today he was like "Ay, the Lunar show's coming up soon. Wanna go with me to see it?" And I thought for a bit, knowing that I'm probably not gonna do s*** during whenever that show will be, so I was like "Sure". He was like "Aight, see you there!" Damn he is one good buddy.

Songs to Remember: K-Clubbing 2.0 - SHIMMIXES
The last time I freaked out, I just kept looking down, I st-st-stutter when you ask me what I'm thinkin' 'bout. Felt like I couldn't breathe, you asked what's wrong with me. My cool bud Yue said "Oh he's just being Drewew".
Yes those were song lyrics. Yes it's the song "See You Again" by Miley Ctrus. Looked up a lot of songs that I remember listening to on Disney channel, also Jonas Brothers' "Poor Unfortunate Souls" and "Burning Up". This whole week's been a mess; of sleep, work, play, and then some. I like to stretch out on my floor when I'm feeling tired while on my pc.
Tomorrow is confirmed being the last day we'll be using the new textbooks for math. Good thing I guess, since the concepts were hard as f*** to understand with the s****y examples in the book. But we're probably gonna go back to having a s*** ton of work again. Today, the teacher actually let a class pick the homework so we have only a couple problems to do, and of course the ones picked were easy probably.
Oh and P.E. I had a fair amount of options to choose from for my partner. Too bad most of them were taken. And by most I mean all. Only after I picked my partner did I find out that this one hot girl (mmmm, yeah I'd describe her as hot) didn't have a partner and the one she was partnered up with leaves like 5 minutes after, or never shows up. I was like "Seriously? Why'd you have to act like you had a partner when we were selecting".
So, there was this one dude left, and we were like "Well, guess we're partners". We soon got along well, talked our certain ways. After a while, he started reminding me of my old buddy from elementary school, my old best bud. I think it's the voice. Eh. Oh and we're doing pretty good so far. Only because a lot of people here suck. There's only like, 10 good people and 25 people who are s***. We're in the top 5 least s****y people though.
A lot of people I see on Instagram and Facebook, are just pictures of them hugging their friends or whatnot. My question is, how do people take those pictures? Do they just like, straight up ask them or what? Do they be like "Hey, let's take a picture" or "Can I get a picture of us?" Like, I seriously have never understood about this. I don't think I've ever taken pictures like that except for projects, or with family members. But that's it. Friends = none. I haven't taken a selfie (I don't like that term, I try to make my pictures seem less like a selfie, more of just a picture of me) in quite a while, the last one was back in 2014 *cue laugh track* (/new year joke, pun unintended but still).
I used to take em' to update my image on social media 'cause I don't want to use a picture that was me 2 years ago, very inaccurate depiction. But, now I take em' so I can look at my transformation, from myself right now, to my final form. By that I mean when I graduate. Yearbooks are expensive, only gonna get it when I succeed one of my current goals, and/ or during freshman/ senior year only. Like damn, it's $80, and that's only if you order on the first day of school too.
So, tomorrow I'll ask Vt if I can get a picture together. Why? Because I think UT's time I start being like more of those, ehhh, many friends, less quality, more quantity type of people. The sound of people talking is now being drowned out by ocean waves in my head. Pun not really intended but it now just happened. See you tomorrow. I promise I'll fix s****y posts tomorrow. And that's after I take them Chinese tests. And an English essay test comp thing next week *shudders*. And math test next week too. We have Thursday off next week for teacher in service. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: K-Lubbing 2.0 - SHIMMIXES
Oh no, it's happening all over again. You know, that time back when I was getting no sleep and could barely stay awake in class, zoning off every 10 seconds.
I yawned so many tines in my classes this week, especially during first period and SSR. Back then during the first semester, NY sleep schedule was f***ed and I had to take naps and could barely stay awake during my first couple classes. Now it's sorta happening again, I'm losing sleep.
The s*** in the new math book is so bad, I can't even understand it. It's so bad that the teacher gave some extra credit if someone can figure out how to solve this one problem. And of course, she doesn't explain it until after one of us figures it out. Yeah, and only one of us did. Out of the whole class. The basic concept was that you just do math stuff right; there's this obe easy way to do it, but of course, we gotta do the hard way too. Because why the f*** not.
Also I did my presentation today. Had to stand in the middle of the classroom, introduce my classmate (more like recite a script) in complete Chinese. I gave my paper to the teacher, thinking I wasn't gonna need it. I needed it. I had the whole thing down in the beginning, I was speaking sorta slowly because I just wanted to let my memory flow into words as they cone. Towards the end though, with a bunch of words that I was really unfamiliar with, and aren't used very often (or at all in our class so far), I forgot the last sentence because of that. Stood there for about 15 seconds in silence. Or maybe 10 seconds. Maybe it was shorter. Time goes really slow when awkward s*** like that happens.
I was trying really hard to remember that last sentence, but because of how it was all silent, not even the crackling of any papers just dead silence, I heard my heart beating hard and that kept me from focusing. Finally o remembered the words, sorta slurred them, finished, and sat back down. Hopefully nobody remembers it, most likely they won't. The only one that's concerned with my presentation should be me. And I shouldn't be concerned with what others think.
Tomorrow is gonna be the start of the CLOG rush (stands for clubs & organizations) for the middle of the school year. KDT is gonna be there so hopefully they'll start anew and I could join back in and actuay go to their meetings this time. I mean, I'm still in it technically, but I haven't actually went to anything and I've only gone a total of 2 times. My best buddy's doing swimming soon, I don't know why, maybe for that girl he's into, but uhh, yeah, gotta find something for my to do, physically that is.
Also, that Rc dude. Forgot to tell this yesterday but El talked a lot about how he always looks so serious when presenting or stuff like that. By the way, this was back when I was still considered existing to El. So yesterday Rc did his presentation and the teacher was like "That was good Rc, but, why do you look so serious when you did it?" And I was like "Oh my god, so it is true". And he's like "It's 'cause I'm nervous, heh". He's looking to be an Engineer, nice, nice.
P.E, started at the 3 table, got lowest to the 7th table, made it to the 1st tables, got destroyed, I threw a lot, ended up on the 5th table. F***. That's like a B. Also tomorrow we're gonna be picking new partners for the 2nd doubles tournament. Eh. Nazi documebtaties, notes, Stalin, the usual for World History. English, scary, works due this week. Chemistry, awwww FUCK. I just remembered I don't have it done yet. Was about to go to sweet mellow sleep, now, I got to bust out a calculator. See you tomorrow. Not even a real post, just blowing out my mind onto a keypad. Also my teacher's doing it to, but phsycially in a notebook.

Songs to Remember: No 1 Party Anthem - Arctic Monkeys
At least I finished most of my work tonight. I'm also ashamed at myself for not doing a real post today, like I said I would, which I was continiallu saying that I would for the past several days.
Good news is-. Well, good news is is that tomorrow is Wednesday. Yeah that's pretty much all I can say about it. Umm, ehhh, to make up for the lack of posts and considering that there was actually s*** done today, I'll make a short one.
We played bingo in World History while watching some Nazi documentaries. This'll probably be a usual thing for the next couple weeks. English, probably my most feared class right now. We're doing s*** on researching on examples of racism and arguments and stuff like that to "prepare" for the big mega ultra new problem solving test we're taking this semester. When: I don't know. But I do know that this will be a lot of writing and I will have to stick hard on my argument. The thing you don't want to do is be like "there is that, buuuuut..." Choose a side, then fight for your reasoning. Usually for s*** like racism, there's no right or wrong answer.
Chemistry, probably my least exciting right now. All we do is just notes, some labs, aaaand notes. Ehhhhh. Yue hasn't transferred back into 3rd period yet, probably won't due to how full government classes are at out school. Lots of seniors trying to get in that last bit of history credits. Good news is though, tomorrow is Wednesday which means I get to say Hi to Your when going my route today. Uhhhhh, P.E is actually going fine. My partner dude is good, he carries me and I carry him. We both suck still though together. But, we are at the 2nd table now for some god forsaken reason. We'll probably get rekt in about 3,2- shrek'd. I'll probably be really sad next week 'cause then we'll all have to pick different partners. Shhhhhh.
In actually calm and sorta relaxed now in math. Probably because everyone's sorta lost on this new textbook thing and I feel okay knowing that there are others who are just going with it like me. The teacher just has us do like, the s****y examples from the book, then goes over them in a clearer way. Then we like, go over homework for the rest of the class period because the book teaches us s*** on how to do the homework. And I'm actually feeling kinda nice knowing that Ao really let it go, hard. She asked me for help on this trivia app thing with the question "The phrase to be or not to be is of which of Shakespeare's works?" I said Hamlet, it was Hamlet. Awwww yeah.
For Chinese, out teacher reminded us this morning (not over the weekend, this morning, I'm talking about today) that we would be presenting and ibtroducing our classmate today (and tomorrow). We could either lose some points and read from the script, or, not lose those points but we gotta memorize it all. People are apparently surprised when a girl who's fluent in Chinese memorizes a small script of simple Chinese sentences. Now, if I believe I have good memory, my memory will become better than it already is. See what I did there?
Also, that dude in my English, math, and P.E classes has stopped bugging me for the past week or so now. Man, does it feel relaxing and free. Ahhhhhh. I could breathe again without hearing "What was the homework again" over and over again. Anyways, hoped it was short enough. I'll try to attempt to do a real one tomorrow. See you tomorrow.
Also, today I saw this one girl who's known to be a playa (about 3 boyfriends this school year so far, and she's a freshman) talking with her buddy and her bf and the dude was like "What I'm saying is you could do b-" and she was like "*GASP*". We all know he was gonna say "better". And I was like "Ah ho ho, nice, nice".

Yue hasn't transferred back into 3rd period yet, probably won't due to how full government classes are at out school. Lots of seniors trying to get in that last bit of history credits. Good news is though, tomorrow is Wednesday which means I get to say Hi to Your when going my route today. Uhhhhh, P.E is actually going fine. My partner dude is good, he carries me and I carry him. We both suck still though together. But, we are at the 2nd table now for some god forsaken reason. We'll probably get rekt in about 3,2- shrek'd. I'll probably be really sad next week 'cause then we'll all have to pick different partners. Shhhhhh.
In actually calm and sorta relaxed now in math. Probably because everyone's sorta lost on this new textbook thing and I feel okay knowing that there are others who are just going with it like me. The teacher just has us do like, the s****y examples from the book, then goes over them in a clearer way. Then we like, go over homework for the rest of the class period because the book teaches us s*** on how to do the homework. And I'm actually feeling kinda nice knowing that Ao really let it go, hard. She asked me for help on this trivia app thing with the question "The phrase to be or not to be is of which of Shakespeare's works?" I said Hamlet, it was Hamlet. Awwww yeah.
For Chinese, out teacher reminded us this morning (not over the weekend, this morning, I'm talking about today) that we would be presenting and ibtroducing our classmate today (and tomorrow). We could either lose some points and read from the script, or, not lose those points but we gotta memorize it all. People are apparently surprised when a girl who's fluent in Chinese memorizes a small script of simple Chinese sentences. Now, if I believe I have good memory, my memory will become better than it already is. See what I did there?
Also, that dude in my English, math, and P.E classes has stopped bugging me for the past week or so now. Man, does it feel relaxing and free. Ahhhhhh. I could breathe again without hearing "What was the homework again" over and over again. Anyways, hoped it was short enough. I'll try to attempt to do a real one tomorrow. See you tomorrow.
Also, today I saw this one girl who's known to be a playa (about 3 boyfriends this school year so far, and she's a freshman) talking with her buddy and her bf and the dude was like "What I'm saying is you could do b-" and she was like "*GASP*". We all know he was gonna say "better". And I was like "Ah ho ho, nice, nice".

Songs to Remember: Shut Up U - Wa$$up
I really do dislike changing in P.E. I think everyone does. I just hate how people act when changing, I mean, just put on your clothes and get the f*** out.
And uh, sorry but this won't be a real post. Ssssss, I just had to try to finish up some work which I didn't get to this whole weekend. I got most of it done though now. Also, Trove. Last night I dreamt about it, which proves I have hit that state again where I've grinded enough that I think about it in my sleep. Ah.
And now I forgot what I was gonna mention. Ehhh, I think we all know I'm not gonna get enough sleep. Umm, real post tomorrow maybe? Also, how this semester seems kinda different than last semester. Eh. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting stuff. See you tomorrow, I'll be sure to make a real post soon. Soon.

Songs to Remember: One Fine Day - SMTOWN
I expcted to do a actual post for once tonight, but, apparently getting intrigued by Naruto lore and fight scenes got in the way of that.
In short, I just played Trove all day. My cousin got into it so that was dandy. I was going to begin writing at 11:00 PM. It's now 1:12 AM and I just spent this whole time reading lore on Akatsuki members abd watching fight scenes. I have yet to see the ending for Naruto and I don't want to spoil it for myself until I'm done watching like, all of Naruto Shippuden. But after seeing some of the fight scenes, I was like "What, this part is repeated like 3 times already, there is so much explaining, so much dialogue, just kill them already, and oh my god, there's anoyher flashback".
If that's what I'm gonna be seeing, then I don't think I'll ever finish. I'm just concerned about plot advancement so I can get the gist of it so when I watch the ending, I'm like "Alright, I understood what happened up to this point". And then I can go back and read up on details and stuff like that. Also I don't read the mangas, I don't really read mangas at all, I need to visually see a representation of a fight instead of black and white pictures of em'. I just can't really see it because of all the explosions and smoke going on in each picture.
So, I'll be sure to make a REAL post tomorrow. Hopefully. Either Trove and/or work may get in the way of that. Anyways, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Prize Money - Birocratic
Oh man, it's gonna be a calming weekend alright. There's a difference between calming and relaxing by the way. In fact, I'm feeling so calm right now that I might just fall alseep and that's what I'm gonna do.
So, I'll do short summary for today. Make that shorter since I just yawned big fan. Quiz for World History, fairly easy, we got to use all our notes on it sooo, that was that. I didn't know what to expect for English, but thank goodness we got to continue using the Chromebooks to finish these online notes on examples of racism. And the chemistry test, that was fairly okay too. I felt like I got most of them wrong, but the multiple choice are worth only one point each so it ain't too bad.
So I guess Yue isn't transferring back to 2nd period anytime soon. That's okay, I still see here around sometimes, usually on Wednesdays when I'm walking to chemistry and she's leaving chemistry. For P.E table tennis, umm, we kinda moved down a fair amount of tables. We were at like, the 4th table. Now we're maybe at like the 6th one now. Or 7th. Yeah. But, at least my partner and I are getting along aight sooo that's cool. He likes to smash the ball a lot and uh yeah.
During lunch I was trying to finish the math homework that I didn't finish (PR start really) because I was pretty tired last night. I thought it was going to be quick, I mean problems #4-5? #4-11? That's like, 11 problems. Easy and quick right? No. No it wasn't. Each problem had like, 5 sub-problems under them. Like, what the f***. Why must you textbook authors f*** us over like this. Who does that? Lists it as #4, but then has 4a, 4b, etc. That's not cool. And so, I just wrote down stuff to make it look like I finished it.
My friend told me that we would be having a pop quiz and I was like "You're kidding me". Nope, apparently we were having a pop quiz and it's on remembering functions, of which I have yet to start remembering. Good thing though that we would be able to talk to our group members. But, we didn't have a quiz. And we didn't have to turn in the homework today. OH THANK THE MIGHTY BASED PYTHAGOREAS. What a save. The teacher probably was gonna assign the pop quiz, but I guess she changed her mind 'cause of all the bad scores probably from the past classrs, as well as all of us fearing quizzes in this class, let alone pop quizzes *shudders*.
So far with these new textbooks, the examples don't really explain. At all. Really. So, the teacher knew that the quiz won't really help 'cause right now, everyone's all over the place in terms of understanding the material tight now. And with that, she decided to do a little survey. She gave us all pieces of papers and had us write down the pro's and con's of the new textbook so far. At the end of class after evryone was done with the new lesson, she read some of the surveys to the class. Everyone basically wrote down that the examples were s***, explaining was s***. One dude wrote that the font and pictures were nice, and I agree. And they're pretty slim too so that'd a plus. But the teacher said that this book is only one chapter, the real one being that one *points over there*. Holy molly, apparently this is only one chapter.
I'm starting to feel a bit more comfortable in 5th period, just a bit more, only due to how everyone laughs at math jokes for some reason and because of my group members. Just a little bit. And I'm regretting it in 3,2-
6th period we just worked on online stuff again on Chromebooks like yesterday. Woot. My cousin got Need For Speed and now he's playing that, not really of Trove. I'm giving it about 1 day before he gets bored of it. Races are the same, only thibg different in it are the cars, everything else is repeated over and over again. And that's why I'm not a big fan of racing games; i get bored, I fall alseep, crash into the railings, game over. Oh and I asked Vt today if she was going to the Winter Ball. She said she wasn't. Ah well, good enough for me not to ask. I would've if she had added "but I don't have anyone to go with". Mhmm. Anyways, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Rilla Go - DGNA
Oh how I wish I could talk about what I did all this week, but because of issues, stress, work, and my laziness to do it, that I guess my only time to have a real post will be tomorrow. After playing more Trove that is. And if I don't have much work. Plus it's a three day weekend. AWWW YEAH
In the meantime, I'll just go over briefly on some news. Briefly. Hopefully I don't get carried away and write for an hour. So, I got my math quiz back from yesterday. A 32/42, I definitely could've done better. Did some stupid, stupid mistakes. Very stupid. I was surprised that on one question, where it was like the summation of 1 to 7 of 1/4^i, I thought that I screwed it up hard and that my answer wasn't even close to the correct answer. But to my surprise, I was actually pretty close, I had the numerator right, but I didn't have a denominator. I most likely couldn't figure it out in time anyways, but it still surprised me that I was on the right track of doing it all correctly.
The teacher was like "Since this is a new textbook and it's the first quiz don't worry about it if you didn't do well. You'll do better next time". Well that was reassuring. Umm, tomorrow I got about 2 tests, one for World History, one for chemistry. It felt like so long ago that I took a test or quiz in World History. At least she lets us use our notes on the tests and quizzes so that's cool. I have nothing against teachers who let notes be used on tests 'cause it shows if the student made the effort to write em' down or not. My chemistry teacher let's us use notes as well, only one sheet, but this test I'm sure won't be too hard since I didn't have to write much (I just used the first full page of notes then wrote a bit more on it, good way to have a notes sheet). Looking over the notes, we actually didn't write that much so that was a relief.
Oh and I have table tennis for P.E now if I didn't tell you about it already. My partner is this dude who is like, buddies with that one dude who was my best buddy in 6th grade. We're getting along okay (me and the dude in table tennis, not the 6th grade dude). We started near the top 3 tables but we're still surviving somehow, still near the top 3. 'Course, we got about 4 more days of this doubles tournament, then we switch to a different partner. Also, Vt's still in my P.E period apparently. She had her hair down today and not tied back like she usually does for P.E. Looks better that way when it's down.
Anyways, I was walking by with my buddy and she was walking by as well in the same route with her buddy and she was like "Ayy drew" (I'm hoping she forgot that Martin thing) and I'm like "Ayy Vivi" in the most inaudible volume ever. Her friend was whispering to her like "Is that the guy?" And something sonething, that one time when she asked me if did laundry recently or something, probably what she asked 'cause today with her friend she was like "What? He smelled nice". Well, I wouldn't associate laundry after going hard in P.E as a good scent but uh, sure why not, a compliment's a compliment, even though it was more unusual than even I could've put it.
Now that the stress s*** from this week is bit over, I'm thinking of seeing is Vt wants to go with my for the Winter Ball. Ehhh, too soon? Too early? I mean, I just feel like it like a "Why the f*** not" kinda feeling. Ehhh. If I see her again today, then sure, I'll go for it, for f***'s sake. Anyways, see you tomorrow.

Week: 22
Songs to Remember: Rewind - Zhoumi
I almost forgot to make a post. But this week has been very stressful so I'll just talk a bit about some stuff and then go to sleep because Trove really does make you tired.
So I got to school at 6:30 AM today. We went to the teacher's classroom and told her abou the situation. She said she forwarded my message to my counselor. I asked her if she could write a note so I could show it to the attendance office to excuse my absences, and she just made a call to my counselor or whatever, leaving a message to remove me from the class. My mom asked for clarification and to make sure that's everything would be fine now. I still got an absence call today. You fucking saw me right in your face and you still mark me absent.
My first period teacher lives in San Francisco so when my mom was like "Well, we should go back home" but I thought that my 1st period teacher always gets here early since she lives in SF so I was like "I can just stay here, I'll just go to my teacher's classroom". So my mom was like "Are you sure?" and I was like "Yeah". And of course, my 1st period teacher wasn't there. None of my teachers were there. It was pretty cold during that morning, cold and dark. 6:30 AM is a lot darker than you think. It was almost like night time holy hell.
To pass the time, I was studying my math book to prepare for the quiz today (which was fairly alright). Apparently reading a math book makes time go by quick. Either that or because I could visually see the transition of time through the sky. I walked around a bit, explored the school while there was barely anyone. Pretty cool, pretty calming. That is, if you could survive the temperatures, it's relaxing. I got a lot of work done when my 1st period teacher finally got here, at about 7:30 AM. I actually had a lot of time to finish work.
For chemistry we're like, floating paper clips on a water-filled petri fish to observe water tension and stuff. P.E, we're still practicing doubles, serving, the like. Ao and I are pretty chill now, probably because she forgot about shit that happened last year. Which is cool, 'cause it lets me see that people can actually let shit go, unlike others I've known. Oh yeah, there was this one girl, the one who's dating that dude who posted the picture of his anime body pillow on Facebook, who's in my World History class and today she wore a bleach blonde with red accent wig on.
My teacher asked "What's the special occasion?" And my teacher was like "Just feeling it today?" and she was like "Mhmm". Fucking amazing am I right, I wish more classes were like that. And umm, yeah, hopefully this shit gets resolved soon because I don't want anymore weight on my shoulders. I was surprised my dad didn't fucking explode on me when the phone message was played about another absence today. He was like "It's probably an error, they said if it's an eorr then just disregard it".
I do have more to talk about but I wanna make up for lost sleep so see ya.

Tuesday, January 13, 2015 "Stress Isn't Absent."
Tuesday, January 13, 2015
Week: 22
Songs to Remember: Plasterbrain - Ninbasa Core
Never in my life have I ever encountered a teacher this lazy and uncaring before. Here's how it goes.
Knowing my parents, they fuck me up whenever I get a call from school. Yesterday the school called and said that "your student was absent in one or more classes". I was hoping this one particular teacher, the one who's class I'm trying to get out of, wouldn't mark me absent since it's the first day of her class. But she did and because of that, my dad had to leave a messagr to excuse my absence. My parents were already under enough stress yesterday so that call only made it worse.
My school's way on handling absences is so fucking stupid. If you get marked absent in one class, out of the 6 classes, the school automatically sends a phone call home about the absence and you have a 72 hour period to clear the absence or else it'll turn into a cut. You see how stupid that is? A teacher could accidently mark a student absent and what if they somehow don't get notified about it? They get a fucking cut on their attendance. I'm never absent, ever. If my fucking leg's been bit off by a wolf my parents would still send me to school.
If I get an absence call and I say that I was at school, my parents would believe it. But that's only for like, once a year. Because this happened two days in a row (yesterday and today), my parents are thinking I'm fucking skipping classes now. I wanted to resolve this issue today, so I went to the teacher's classroom during break time, during lunch, after lunch, and middle school. Guess what? *whispers* She wasn't there. During break time, the door was locked. Nobody was in the room. During lunch, she was there. She was on the phone, I asked if I could talk to her about my scheduling for her class, she fucking tells me "This is my lunch. Sorry, come back after lunch". She only has like 1 or 2 classes, she spends like 2/3 of the school day on the fucking teacher's lounge.
She could eat lunch anytime she fucking wanted. And when a student comes in to ask about a class that he's somehow put in, she says "This is lunch" while talking to her friend about cars or whatever. That was probably the most rudest thing I've ever heard a teacher say. To take me out of her class on the computer, since she teaches about computers, it would take only about, hmm, 30 seconds at most. But I respected her time so I came back after the lunch bell rung. Standing there, the door was still locked and she wasn't there. Knowing my luck, she was probably in the teacher's lounge doing the who knows what for hours. I didn't want to miss instructional time (especially since it was math class), I just went to class after being there for about 5 minutes after lunch.
I looked her up on RateMyTeachers.com to see what other people have said about her and her class. Yep, just as i thought, pointless. People said that they wasted their years in her class and if you wanted to learn Microsoft word, just buy the book that she's going off by. Another person said that the teacher stayed afterschool to help students catch up and I was like "Oh really? Stays after school to help students catch up? Does she do this while invisible?" After school, I went over there again to see if she was in the classroom. Nope, door still locked, lights were on, she wasn't there. Since I knew that contacting her would be impossible without going early in the morning, I just scheduled an appointment with my counselor to handle it once and for all. I get in the car and my mom's like "You father received a call from the school, saying that you need to get a note from the teacher to excuse you from the absence". Great, so now I need to do even more s***. Today we got the absence call again abd my parents fucking lost it.
My dad was telling my mom to go with me tomorrow to go talk to the teacher why she keeps marking me absent, I tell my mom I already emailed her about it and that it'll be taken care of, my dad demands we go talk to her, I tell em' I'm going to change my schedule to stop the absences and my mom twists it around like "Because you're changing schedules this is why you keep getting those random absences, why do you have to change classes all the time, make it so confusing" and I just start fucking crying because my mom doesn't get it, she blames all this on me, she's yelling shit, she's angry because my dad's making her go with me to talk to her, I tell my mom I could go by myself, she says my dad's making her go, and when I want to handle shit by myself saying I got this, my parents act like "Oh, you should be able to do stuff for yourself, you're 16 now, you're not a kid anymore". Fucking, I'd run away by Noe if I wasn't such a pussy.
Tomorrow I'm gonna have to wake up at 6:00 AM to go talk to a teacher who's hardly working to get her to write a note to excuse my TWO "absences". It would've only been one if she had checked her school email earlier. Being a "computer science" teacher, I expected her to check her emails often, but no, I guess she puts on assignments faster than she checks her students' emails and replies to them AFTER she marks them absent. God fucking damnit, this is all your fault. My parents are stressed enough as it is 'cause my dad accidently wrote on expired checks for some bills and that was a whole fucking hassel. Now they're being brought into my shit. Hell, my dad was gonna take some work time off tomorrow to go with me and my mom. He's deciding maybe Friday too if this doesn't get resolved.
Once I get removed from that fucking class roster, i swear if I get placed into there one more time, I'm fucking jumping off a bridge because I don't want to deal with shit like this all the fucking time. That one student at our school who committed suicide being finals last year? Yeah, this is what stress does to ya. And my mom thinks my lack of sleep causes it. No, your fucking stress you cause my causes my lack of sleep, creating more stress up to the point where I make the decision to fuck it.
Week: 22
Songs to Remember: Plasterbrain - Ninbasa Core
Never in my life have I ever encountered a teacher this lazy and uncaring before. Here's how it goes.
Knowing my parents, they fuck me up whenever I get a call from school. Yesterday the school called and said that "your student was absent in one or more classes". I was hoping this one particular teacher, the one who's class I'm trying to get out of, wouldn't mark me absent since it's the first day of her class. But she did and because of that, my dad had to leave a messagr to excuse my absence. My parents were already under enough stress yesterday so that call only made it worse.
My school's way on handling absences is so fucking stupid. If you get marked absent in one class, out of the 6 classes, the school automatically sends a phone call home about the absence and you have a 72 hour period to clear the absence or else it'll turn into a cut. You see how stupid that is? A teacher could accidently mark a student absent and what if they somehow don't get notified about it? They get a fucking cut on their attendance. I'm never absent, ever. If my fucking leg's been bit off by a wolf my parents would still send me to school.
If I get an absence call and I say that I was at school, my parents would believe it. But that's only for like, once a year. Because this happened two days in a row (yesterday and today), my parents are thinking I'm fucking skipping classes now. I wanted to resolve this issue today, so I went to the teacher's classroom during break time, during lunch, after lunch, and middle school. Guess what? *whispers* She wasn't there. During break time, the door was locked. Nobody was in the room. During lunch, she was there. She was on the phone, I asked if I could talk to her about my scheduling for her class, she fucking tells me "This is my lunch. Sorry, come back after lunch". She only has like 1 or 2 classes, she spends like 2/3 of the school day on the fucking teacher's lounge.
She could eat lunch anytime she fucking wanted. And when a student comes in to ask about a class that he's somehow put in, she says "This is lunch" while talking to her friend about cars or whatever. That was probably the most rudest thing I've ever heard a teacher say. To take me out of her class on the computer, since she teaches about computers, it would take only about, hmm, 30 seconds at most. But I respected her time so I came back after the lunch bell rung. Standing there, the door was still locked and she wasn't there. Knowing my luck, she was probably in the teacher's lounge doing the who knows what for hours. I didn't want to miss instructional time (especially since it was math class), I just went to class after being there for about 5 minutes after lunch.
I looked her up on RateMyTeachers.com to see what other people have said about her and her class. Yep, just as i thought, pointless. People said that they wasted their years in her class and if you wanted to learn Microsoft word, just buy the book that she's going off by. Another person said that the teacher stayed afterschool to help students catch up and I was like "Oh really? Stays after school to help students catch up? Does she do this while invisible?" After school, I went over there again to see if she was in the classroom. Nope, door still locked, lights were on, she wasn't there. Since I knew that contacting her would be impossible without going early in the morning, I just scheduled an appointment with my counselor to handle it once and for all. I get in the car and my mom's like "You father received a call from the school, saying that you need to get a note from the teacher to excuse you from the absence".

Songs to Remember: Rilla Go - DGNA (The Boss)
Having died in RotMG (from a stupid death FYI), it broke the spell on my addiction. Looks I won't be playing it for another year.
I discovered RotMG from that one dude from middle school. Saw a screenshot of it and asked what it was. Showed my cousin it as well and we both played for about 3 days straight. He got bored of it, I kept playing. I soon died and quit. About a year later, I got back on for a bit, then I died and got off it for another year. Then came this Christmas and I got addicted to it, got pretty far, and well, died again. I think it's a cycle, where I get back into it after every 6 months - a year or so, then die, then quit and repeat.
When I died I was like "Oh No!" But then I was like "*sigh* Well it looks like I won't be playing for another year". Got over it pretty quickly. I just hit 5/8 with my trickster today too, heh. Anyways, I needes to find something else to grind on, other than GTA because right now there's a glitch where you can get basically infinite money, granted, how many times you can press a few buttons every couple minutes. There's nothing to do on GTA, all you can spend money on is cars, guns, clothes, missions. No need for guns 'cause there's no need for missions since I'm already making more money at a faster rate than missions and with less effort. Clothes and cars, ehhh. Once you have everything, there's no point. I didn't expect to be bored with an open-world game like GTA so quickly, buuut, it happened. Story mode, ehhh, I'll play it when I feel like it.
Seeing as how there's no new videos in my subscription feed on YouTube (or at least, videos that I'd want to watch), I remembered this game called Trove. I discovered it a while back, but it was only pay-to-play access at that time. I checked up to see how it was doing and found out it's now in open beta, free to play. Showed my cousin, he found it interesting enough, we downloaded it and probably are going to play it this next weekend. For me though, probably this whole week. They put a grind on it, but at least the grind isn't as grindy as others, which is nice. Also the customization is awesome, really nice with the vanity and USER CREATED ITEMS. Anyone can submit stuff to be put in the game. Best voxel community ever.
And now, as for real world stuff. Uhhh, I procrastinated my math homework until now and finished it about 30 minuted ago. I procrastinated because of how long I thought it was going to be. Nope, it was only 4 problems. HELL YEAH. This new textbook so far is ballin'. Almost as ballin' as Season 5 episode 3 of the Eric Andre Show. Inside joke with my cousin. Anyways, I've decided that I'll ask Yn on Tuesday if she wants to go to the Winter Ball FOR FUN. For the experience, I only have 2 years of high school left (not counting this year), so, might as well start now on the fun.
Uhhh, yeah. I haven't updated my music page in a bit, I have a few songs that I have yet to add so I'll update it maybe tomorrow. So, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Coach Me - San E and Hyolyn
Remember when I wrote about things other than my day? Good times. Today I didn't really do anything, just grinding. So, I guess this is gonna be anothe one of those times.
Yeah, today I just grinded on RotMG and GTA. My parents were busy getting one of our old T.V's out of the house. Man were those things heavy. I think it's from the glass. Now in this time we have T.V's that someone could lift up with like one hand. Anyways, I guess I'll be talking about friends since I've seen people who have one of three things.
They either have a lot of friends, or just a few. The ones with a lot of friends (and by friends I mean people whom have exchanged Hello's before) are usually the ones who don't really have a "best" friend because they're too busy making new ones. And they usually speak little to each since they have so many that it's hard to go in-depth and know personally each one. Most of these I've seen are in those insane community service clubs like Interact or Key Club (yes I've talked a bit about this before but in this one on going in-depth).
Then there are those who have only a few friends. I classify myself as one of those people. These people have no one else to hang out with, thus getting to talk only to their friends and therefore getting to know them personally as well and going into buddy level, sometimes even best friends. Quality over quantity, ehhh.
And then there's the ones in-between, where they only hang out with people in a group, but are known by a majority of people. This is pretty common, there's a lot of groups I've seen. Yeah, not much else to say about these. Their closeness levels are like, meh. Now, would I prefer quantity over quality? Hell yeah I would. I've had about the same number of dude friends for the past, couple years. We never do stuff really at all, we just talk about f***ing weird s*** and gaming during lunch and break time.
My friend count has only fluctuated higher during uhhh, this probably. A tiny bit last year, but semi-bigger this year. I've never experienced having a large quantity of friends, nor will I probably ever will. Just being real here, not trying to be a downer or anything. Maybe that's why. Maybe it's 'cause I'm being too real and people just want to love in fantasies for a bit longer before they start applying for s*** and when getting to colleges, there's no one with them. Well, one can only hope.
Also, I found out why Yue was so interested when she heard that I tutored kids over the summer. Apparently she also tutored kids as well. I don't remember if she actually told me that or not. I'm not sure if I wrote about it or not if she did. How did I find out that info? Well let's just say u was bored, kay. In terms of progress on work done, it's a 0 so far, heh. In terms of gaming though, I got myself a Sepctral Cloth Armor. Sti hoping for a Prism of Dancing Swords though and a Spirit Dagger. Ghost ships are definitely not my thing. So is fame.
And yeah. I want to continue watching Running Man but I'm tired. Of all the farming. Until maybe tomorrow morning. Then it's grinding round two. I've never gone bowling before. See you tomorrow.

Friday, January 9, 2015 "Relaxing While It Lasts."
Friday, January 9, 2015
Week: 21
Songs to Remember: Think - Bigstar
Probably about half of my papers I wrote this week is a day off. Today I thought it was 8th. Yesterday I thought it was the 7th.
So I watched this interesting movie in World History. It was called "The Wave" and it's a fairly old movie, made in the 80's. It's a dramatization of a real-life experiement conducted in Palo Alto High School back in 1967. There's this teacher dude and he's teaching about WW2 and Nazi's and stuff right. He gets to the part where how the Germans did not know that concentration camps and stuff were happening right. A couple of his students ask how that was even possible, that there was no way they couldn't see that over ten million were killed.
The teacher dude didn't have an answer, so he read up on some books about Nazi's and decided to do a little experiement. He would try to mimick what Hitler did and recreate the Nazi Army in his classroom, but without the students knowing it. He told them that it was a youth group, called it "The Wave", and said he was teaching them success through discipline. So he made rules and stuff like sit up straight, say "Mr.Ross" before you answer, etc. He even made symbol for the group and a hand-sign thing. Soon the students began following him more and more, becoming more serious about it, soon getting out of hand and people start getting hurt if they don't join in.
A couple students see through this, that it was going too far so they asked him to end the whole group thing. The next day, he organizes an assembly and told them it was a national youth group, that other schools across the nation did this as well. He wanted to show them who their true leader was (spoiler alert for the rest of this paragraph). Everyone's in their seat, all are wearing blue without "The Wave" arm bands like the Nazi's. He turns on the projector to footage of Hitler. Everyone was on like shock, some even cried. They were like "Aww s***, we were f***ing Nazi's".
And the movie ends there. Really f***ing scary actually. The thought of having like, hundreds of youth under your control. Also they were very stupid to act that way just 'cause they were in a "youth group". But anyways, really cool history stuff, and with it being an experiment conducted in a high school in 1967 makes it even cooler. And not only did we watch a movie in World History but we watched one as well in English. Well maybe not movies, they were episodes really. They were episodes of "The Jeffersons", show back in the 70's - 80's. We were discussing racism and stuff due to the stupid test we're taking this year, the topic being racism.
The Jeffersons was a show that dealth with a lot of that, showing the stereotypes, but being satirical of it as well. In one episode, one of the characters (an African American man) saved another man's life (a White man) from a heart attack. People were like " You breathed life back into this man!" But when the white dude found out that a black man had saved his life, he wished he had died. And with that hate, the black dude was like "I should'a inhaled". Now that was f***ing GOLD. Also, no need to be offended by my terms, I'm just describing alright.
And keeping with the trend of having labs on every Friday (I guess for maybe the beginnings of each semester), we did a lab today. It was about seeing if a liquid was conductive or not using a little device thingy. You take the device, put the the metal ends into the liquid, if it lights up, it's conductive, therefore it's an ionic compound, aaand yeah. There were a lot of liquids, ranging from apple juice to egg yolk to beer to aspirin. Very easy, very quick, all in all alright. Also, Yue went to the counseling thingy today, hoping that she gets to switch back to 3rd.
So, we have new locker rooms. But, they're their use is only temporary. As in, you're only allowed to put in your stuff and lock it for the class period ONLY. Meaning that after class is over, you get your stuff and take your lock with you. I'm guessing they did all this to prevent more thefts. And to reduce the amount spent for like, 5 times the lockers. If they find any locks at the ends of each class periods, they'll cut em'. And today was the day that we practices dressing out and using the new locker rooms.
Well, I went in, and uhhh, wasn't really what I was expecting. It was well lit, but like, there were already like a s*** ton of people already inside. It was small as f***. Like the distance between a row of lockers and another row is about, ehhh, 5 feet. Very cramped. I was thinking of going to the back to see if I can find a locker and space, but it looked to as of there wasn't. I then thought "Wait, if I go to the front there's probably some 'cause people don't want to change or be close to the people coming in and out". And whadya know, there were some empty lockers with moderate space. They have like lockers on the bottom, which I don't know why because no one is going to choose the bottom lockers.
After we all changed, we headed to the gym, but it was locked. They waited a good 10 minutes before letting us in. Nice right. We sat in there for 10 minutes, along with them taking role and checking our shirts, shorts, and shoes to make sure they're the right color and kind. Surprisingly it went by quick and I went back to the locker room, took my stuff, and booked it. But with no time to do my leftover Chinese work from last night, I did it during lunch time. I WS expecting to use the time today in P.E, 'cause you know, you gotta take advantage of free time. But there was no time in P.E today unfortunately.
Fortunately though, the lesson today for math was fairly easy. At first it looked like we were going into the deep s*** using symbols that didn't even look human, more like crop circles. But no, it was just a summation sign, and uh, it was alright. Quiz on Wednesday, thank goodness it's Wednesday. It's nice 'cause tests and quizzes generally aren't held on Wednesdays 'cause they're shorter days. That'll ensure that I could focus on just math. I'm also going to eventually need a graphing calculator, which is going to cost a hefty amount of money- for a calculator.
And again, 6th period, we do a class activity again where we go around and ask people questions (in Chinese of course). We write down if they answered correctly or not, give the paper back to the teacher then the teacher reads out a question and has someone answer it. Fairly simple, but actually took a lot of time. Probably took about 15 minutes or so for everyone to finish answering. There were also these 2 dudes who were helping out the teacher; they were former students of hers. One fo the dudes gave us some advice for college, that in order to minimize the amount of math classes, you take computer science, then you only have to do a bit more math classes and you're good. Also, 8 classes in college where he goes. Yeah, I'm not ready for hell just yet.
And procrastinating on work is just what I'm gonna do for the weekend. Most of the work isn't due until next week and it's not that difficult either, just tedious. So I decided to do em' on like, nights or sometime like that. This weekend I can actually relax for once, there's not really much weight on my shoulders right now for work. Ahhh, I'm enjoying while it lasts. Continuing with my grinding addiction, I saw that there were free skins being given out to League players for good behavior (a majority). I logged on, hoping for a Braun skin, iBlitzcrank, or just any support skin really, buuut I got Aether Wing Kayle instead.
My first thought: "I don't even play Kayle". But my buddies told me it was a legendary skin and when I looked at the splash for th skin, I was like "Wait, oh this skin. Cool". I guess I'll be testing out my skills with Kayle soon. I'll also be grinding out some RotMG and GTA V as well. Prism of Dancing Swords, you will soon be mine. See you tomorrow.

Soon the students began following him more and more, becoming more serious about it, soon getting out of hand and people start getting hurt if they don't join in.
A couple students see through this, that it was going too far so they asked him to end the whole group thing. The next day, he organizes an assembly and told them it was a national youth group, that other schools across the nation did this as well. He wanted to show them who their true leader was (spoiler alert for the rest of this paragraph). Everyone's in their seat, all are wearing blue without "The Wave" arm bands like the Nazi's. He turns on the projector to footage of Hitler. Everyone was on like shock, some even cried. They were like "Aww s***, we were f***ing Nazi's".
And the movie ends there. Really f***ing scary actually. The thought of having like, hundreds of youth under your control. Also they were very stupid to act that way just 'cause they were in a "youth group". But anyways, really cool history stuff, and with it being an experiment conducted in a high school in 1967 makes it even cooler. And not only did we watch a movie in World History but we watched one as well in English. Well maybe not movies, they were episodes really. They were episodes of "The Jeffersons", show back in the 70's - 80's. We were discussing racism and stuff due to the stupid test we're taking this year, the topic being racism.
The Jeffersons was a show that dealth with a lot of that, showing the stereotypes, but being satirical of it as well. In one episode, one of the characters (an African American man) saved another man's life (a White man) from a heart attack. People were like " You breathed life back into this man!" But when the white dude found out that a black man had saved his life, he wished he had died. And with that hate, the black dude was like "I should'a inhaled". Now that was f***ing GOLD. Also, no need to be offended by my terms, I'm just describing alright.
And keeping with the trend of having labs on every Friday (I guess for maybe the beginnings of each semester), we did a lab today. It was about seeing if a liquid was conductive or not using a little device thingy. You take the device, put the the metal ends into the liquid, if it lights up, it's conductive, therefore it's an ionic compound, aaand yeah. There were a lot of liquids, ranging from apple juice to egg yolk to beer to aspirin. Very easy, very quick, all in all alright. Also, Yue went to the counseling thingy today, hoping that she gets to switch back to 3rd.
So, we have new locker rooms. But, they're their use is only temporary. As in, you're only allowed to put in your stuff and lock it for the class period ONLY. Meaning that after class is over, you get your stuff and take your lock with you. I'm guessing they did all this to prevent more thefts. And to reduce the amount spent for like, 5 times the lockers. If they find any locks at the ends of each class periods, they'll cut em'. And today was the day that we practices dressing out and using the new locker rooms.
Well, I went in, and uhhh, wasn't really what I was expecting. It was well lit, but like, there were already like a s*** ton of people already inside. It was small as f***. Like the distance between a row of lockers and another row is about, ehhh, 5 feet. Very cramped. I was thinking of going to the back to see if I can find a locker and space, but it looked to as of there wasn't. I then thought "Wait, if I go to the front there's probably some 'cause people don't want to change or be close to the people coming in and out". And whadya know, there were some empty lockers with moderate space. They have like lockers on the bottom, which I don't know why because no one is going to choose the bottom lockers.
After we all changed, we headed to the gym, but it was locked. They waited a good 10 minutes before letting us in. Nice right. We sat in there for 10 minutes, along with them taking role and checking our shirts, shorts, and shoes to make sure they're the right color and kind. Surprisingly it went by quick and I went back to the locker room, took my stuff, and booked it. But with no time to do my leftover Chinese work from last night, I did it during lunch time. I WS expecting to use the time today in P.E, 'cause you know, you gotta take advantage of free time. But there was no time in P.E today unfortunately.
Fortunately though, the lesson today for math was fairly easy. At first it looked like we were going into the deep s*** using symbols that didn't even look human, more like crop circles. But no, it was just a summation sign, and uh, it was alright. Quiz on Wednesday, thank goodness it's Wednesday. It's nice 'cause tests and quizzes generally aren't held on Wednesdays 'cause they're shorter days. That'll ensure that I could focus on just math. I'm also going to eventually need a graphing calculator, which is going to cost a hefty amount of money- for a calculator.
And again, 6th period, we do a class activity again where we go around and ask people questions (in Chinese of course). We write down if they answered correctly or not, give the paper back to the teacher then the teacher reads out a question and has someone answer it. Fairly simple, but actually took a lot of time. Probably took about 15 minutes or so for everyone to finish answering. There were also these 2 dudes who were helping out the teacher; they were former students of hers. One fo the dudes gave us some advice for college, that in order to minimize the amount of math classes, you take computer science, then you only have to do a bit more math classes and you're good. Also, 8 classes in college where he goes. Yeah, I'm not ready for hell just yet.
And procrastinating on work is just what I'm gonna do for the weekend. Most of the work isn't due until next week and it's not that difficult either, just tedious. So I decided to do em' on like, nights or sometime like that. This weekend I can actually relax for once, there's not really much weight on my shoulders right now for work. Ahhh, I'm enjoying while it lasts. Continuing with my grinding addiction, I saw that there were free skins being given out to League players for good behavior (a majority). I logged on, hoping for a Braun skin, iBlitzcrank, or just any support skin really, buuut I got Aether Wing Kayle instead.
My first thought: "I don't even play Kayle". But my buddies told me it was a legendary skin and when I looked at the splash for th skin, I was like "Wait, oh this skin. Cool". I guess I'll be testing out my skills with Kayle soon. I'll also be grinding out some RotMG and GTA V as well. Prism of Dancing Swords, you will soon be mine. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Where No Eagles Fly - Julian Casablancas + The Voidz
I actually understood the stuff that my math teacher taught today. I actually understood it all. And with these new textbooks, instead of like 20-30 problems that we previously did last semester, we only have to do like, 5 or 10 or so. It's so amazing I just wanna fall sleep.
And I will. I'm actually pretty sleepy right now, I'm fairly content as to my time management right now and the work. But, it's only the first week. Still, was ehhh, fairly relaxing I guess for the week back from Christmas break. I'll have to do some planning for this weekend, like uh, grinding, work, and asking Yn if she would like to go to the Winter Ball. Tickets are on sale next week at the cheapest price possible so you gotta ask early.
Did I ever mention that anyone who buys a ticket gets access to the sundae bar and chocolate fountain during the event? Looks like I know what I'd be doing for half the time. Like, really, who can dance for o long? Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Human Sadness - Julian Casablancas + The Voidz
The one thing you don't want to hear after watching a movie for 3 school days in a row is "Okay, your topic for the essay is..." Like, come on, I just watched a movie. It's a movie.
Sooo maybe we'll be doing just worksheets this whole week for World History? Maybe some notes? A video? That would be fine with me, as long as I could keep my writing from freezing in the morning. Also, people are switching in and out of classes like daisies. They're popping up like daisies. This one girl, whom I know but have never spoken a word with, switched into my World History class starting today. Her boyfriend is the guy who posted that picture of his Hatsune Miku pillow.
As of this time in the school year, we haven't switched seats at all in English class. I just realized this. Ehhh, sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes bad. Depends really who I'm sitting next. If I like where is sit, then for the love of based god don't change my seat. But do this being like an advanced English class, there isn't really much room for sociality here. I never look behind in class (because why) and so I don't know like, 1/3 of the class. Well, maybe like 1/4, but still, I usually know everybody (or at least close to almost everybody in my classes). 1/4 does not cut it. Also, I just finished writint an essay on How to Train Your Dragon, detailing about the characters' use of problem solving and teamwork. And I found out that it's also a book. Well that explains a lot of things.
We did our first lab of the year for 2015 today, we basically constructed 3d structures from drawings of our Lewis Dot Structures for compounds. It's just colored balls and sticks really. Of course, it was boring without having Yue next to me at the lab tablr anymore. But good news: Yue was texting to today (towards the end of classes) about how she's going to try to switch back to 3rd period because of how she hates her classes right now. She's waiting for people to switch out from Government classes in 2nd period so she can squeeze in and have chemistry for 3rd period again. I never thought of that. Also she's a senior so basically anything goes for her schedule.
Another bootleg thing happened today in chemistry. During the homework stamping that the teacher always does the day homework is due, this dude in class had his earphones out. I don't remember specifically but the teacher asked if the dude wanted his earphones cut (in a joking way of course) and he was like "Yeah" and so the teacher cut the one he was holding. He was like "You didn't think I was really gonna do it did ya. I guess you like hearing in mono, he he". Seriously, this is what makes my chemistry class. That Yue. But seriously, what other class has a teacher that when asked, cuts a student's earphone? Boot- leg.
We sat in P.E again, today was mostly just a day for people to buy clothes. It was a long period, mostly because of how the teachers didn't really need to explain much today. All throughout the period though, the teachers kept on reminding us to put our electronics away and that for the past two minutes, they already confiscated 6 phones. I was like "Ayy, get rekt m8's, nooblords, nooblords". Seriously, you're sitting with like hundreds of other people and you can't keep a phone hidden? If you're trying to be secretive at least do it right. Also, P.E this week really, and I mean really helped me out on finishing Chinese homework which I was too tired to do at home. After this week though, I won't get that free time ever again probably sooo might as well take advantage of it.
So today in math, the teacher asked us if we liked the way the teaching's going so far with the new books and stuff. People replied "No, not really", including me. Yesterday, probably everyone was like, completely lost on the lesson. The book doesn't explain s*** on how to do it and the teacher didn't really go through the lesson at all. Today she said "Honestly, I HATE the way the teaching's going right now. But, it's a new semester and we have these new books so for a month, we'll try it and if it doesn't work, I'll go back to the usual way". Today she actually went over the lesson, still a bit dodgy on stuff, but at least she's going through the book and explaining s*** that needs to be explained. Oh, and the group's going fine by the way. The table group I'm in.
Ummm, I'm still waiting for this lesson in Chinese to be over already. Partly due to where I sit. Okay, mostly due to where I sit. I don't know, I just don't like where I'm sitting for once. The study routines that we do each day are fine, just, my group's got nothing to talk about. Anyways, the teacher assigned us a research summary to do on a location that our families came from. It was assigned today and due today as well (Online summary). So, 2 essays that I had to basically get done today. Why does it have to be today based god? These few days I actually got sleep, now, it's 1:16 AM.
At home, I did work and my buddies and I talked a bit about the Winter Ball coming up. I looked at the date and thought it was this Friday. Nope, apparently I only read Friday, the 13th, and thought "S*** that's next week" when it's actually next month, heh. My buddues said they'd go if I go. One of them kept on asking if my best buddy was gonna ask his crush or not. He's like "Meh", so it's a possibility, most likely though if I ask Yn to the Winter Ball (it's just a dance by the way, it takes place in Winter, and, yeah). They asked if I liked her or not and I replied "I don't know, I'm just keeping my options open for right now. I really just wanna go for the experience". 'Cause ya know, I never been to a dance before.
Well, I guess I might be going, maybe, or not. There's still prom though, Yn and Yue are juniors and seniors so, they could go if they wanted. Again, I'm keeping my options open, going for a new route this time, and that's all of em'. Also I updated the titlecard for this blog, so instead of having a badly scaled calligraphy font (I blame Blogger, should'a used WordPress), it's now titles for my (soon to be 4) series. Also the description is bit more summed up as well. And uh, yeah. I think that's it for today somehow I wrote surprisingly well today, if I do say so myself. See you tomorrow.

Tuesday, January 6, 2015 "Where No Plot Twists End."
Tuesday, January 6, 2015
Week: 21
Songs to Remember: Where No Eagles Fly - Julian Casablancas + The Voidz
To think the plot twists would stop since this school-year's getting old. No, no they keep coming, and they could be for better or for worse.
Same as yesterday, for World History we did some more worksheets and bookwork and that's it. We continued watching How to Train Your Dragon while taking notes on the use of the scientific method and perseverance and I'm just like "It's just a movie". Anyways, it's going alright, I expected it to be a lot of cheerful in the training but it's whatever. We'll probably finish the movie by Thursday and by that time, no more movie, and probably the introduction to a new group project. Shhh-
We changed seats today for Chemistry. Hoping I'd sit next to like, Yn or this one other girl, I get seated in the same columns, as them, but next to someone else. They were the same person that I sat with about two seat changes ago. I'm more closer to the front now so I can finally see the board better. My glasses are fine though, it's just that there're a lot of things blocking my view of the board. Anyhow, while talking about how elements want to become stable like the noble gases, my teacher compares that to high school and college.
He's like "Why do you guys go to high school? To go to college. Why do you go to college? To get a job. What do you get a job for? Money. Why do you need money? To get a good-looking spouse. Why get a good-looking spouse? So you can have good-looking children". And that was the best theory I've ever heard. Seriously, if it weren't for Mr.Sales, chemistry would be pretty boring. Soo, we took notes and did Lewis Dot Structures for compounds, the usual. P.E was the usual as well, this week we pretty much just sit and do nothing in the gym since people still need to buy clothes and stuff. Also we have yet to pick our classes so, that as well.
My best buddy went to the usual VSA club meeting today (usually every Tuesday actually) so I was left to just converse with my other buddy Ek. Good thing she's fine with weird things, 'cause that's what I talked about in order to not be boring. I do that with my cousin too, talking just whatever. I wish I could do that, but you know, society, me, based god, the usual. And sooo, it was 5th period and the lesson for today started out alright, but the teacher didn't really teach us much on it, everyone was basically lost, the new book explains nothing on how to do em', and uh, yeah.
While we were working, the teacher called us up one by one to see how average score and our final exam score. 85% for the class and an 86/100 on the final exam. Not too bad, not too bad. I thought I did better on the final exam though, but hey, 85% for the class, that's basically a B+. I'll take it. My group members were also cool on their grades too and today we actually conversed with each other, Ao was being chill about it too so that's tight. The teacher gave us all oranges (like, small ones) because of a New Year's belief that if you were to eat this type of orange during the New Year's time, then you will have good luck for the year. And well, I kinda need all the luck I could get right now, heh. Oranges come pre-slicedbby nature, how crazy is that?
So after leaving 5th period and going to 6th, I saw that Zi left earlier than usual. Usually she stays behind while slowly putting away her stuff. Her class is like, located in the same building so there's no need for her to rush. I was walking to 6th and I see a girl with the same purple backpack and purplish jacket walking the same route and I'm like "Ah that's not Zi, probably another girl who looks the same from the back". I'm walking to class, through the front door, and as I'm signing in (putting a check mark next to my name on the attendance sheet near the door), I see Zi standing right up front of the classroom.
So I'm like "Alright, did sheeee forget something orrr". And when class starter, the teacher had her go sit in the empty seats near the back-left of the room. I'm like "Oh". The teacher then says " Alright class, let's welcome Zi, she moved here from 1st period due to her schedule changes" and I'm just like "Oh". So Zi's now in my 6th period, which means she'll be walking the same route as me from 5th to 6th. But, I'm guessing the conversing won't go well since well, uhhh. I don't want to be one to judge, but I do that a lot so I'ma do it anyway. I've seen some people who have little friends, but they do a lot of things together, they're close. I also see some people who, basically know the entire school and the entire school knows them, even from other schools. Lots of friends, but they speak only a little bit with each. Something like a "Hi, how are you doing, what'd you get on the test, see ya later".
And that's what I classify Zi as. A lot of people know her, but she doesn't really appear to be close to anybody, just hopping around from person to person. Actually, everybody in those huge community I service clubs like Key Club or Interact (very widely popular and big clubs in like a lot of high schools here in Silicon Valley). They talk and well, "interact" with so many, it's hard to even catch up everybody. I think Interact/Key club does that to a lot of people. I, I'd just fake it, put on a non-nornal looking face and just be whatever when it's necessary. It's just that I either don't put in the effort, forget, or lazy.
Also, Julian Casablancas + The Voidz's "Where No Eagles Fly" is a scary song. I didn't like it at first, but I kept on listening to it, then after a while it became catchy, and now I'm listening to it. Oh, and uh, my best buddy and our other buddy and settled that we would all be going to the Winter Ball this year by going with someone. We would cancel this if my best buddy didn't come back for the semester, but since he's staying, I guess we're doing it.
Almost forgot about it, luckily due to the Facebook invite to the event, I remembered. Apparently it's being held at a place outside campus. Actually looks fancy. I'm scared. See you tomorrow.

So after leaving 5th period and going to 6th, I saw that Zi left earlier than usual. Usually she stays behind while slowly putting away her stuff. Her class is like, located in the same building so there's no need for her to rush. I was walking to 6th and I see a girl with the same purple backpack and purplish jacket walking the same route and I'm like "Ah that's not Zi, probably another girl who looks the same from the back". I'm walking to class, through the front door, and as I'm signing in (putting a check mark next to my name on the attendance sheet near the door), I see Zi standing right up front of the classroom.
So I'm like "Alright, did sheeee forget something orrr". And when class starter, the teacher had her go sit in the empty seats near the back-left of the room. I'm like "Oh". The teacher then says " Alright class, let's welcome Zi, she moved here from 1st period due to her schedule changes" and I'm just like "Oh". So Zi's now in my 6th period, which means she'll be walking the same route as me from 5th to 6th. But, I'm guessing the conversing won't go well since well, uhhh. I don't want to be one to judge, but I do that a lot so I'ma do it anyway. I've seen some people who have little friends, but they do a lot of things together, they're close. I also see some people who, basically know the entire school and the entire school knows them, even from other schools. Lots of friends, but they speak only a little bit with each. Something like a "Hi, how are you doing, what'd you get on the test, see ya later".
And that's what I classify Zi as. A lot of people know her, but she doesn't really appear to be close to anybody, just hopping around from person to person. Actually, everybody in those huge community I service clubs like Key Club or Interact (very widely popular and big clubs in like a lot of high schools here in Silicon Valley). They talk and well, "interact" with so many, it's hard to even catch up everybody. I think Interact/Key club does that to a lot of people. I, I'd just fake it, put on a non-nornal looking face and just be whatever when it's necessary. It's just that I either don't put in the effort, forget, or lazy.
Also, Julian Casablancas + The Voidz's "Where No Eagles Fly" is a scary song. I didn't like it at first, but I kept on listening to it, then after a while it became catchy, and now I'm listening to it. Oh, and uh, my best buddy and our other buddy and settled that we would all be going to the Winter Ball this year by going with someone. We would cancel this if my best buddy didn't come back for the semester, but since he's staying, I guess we're doing it.
Almost forgot about it, luckily due to the Facebook invite to the event, I remembered. Apparently it's being held at a place outside campus. Actually looks fancy. I'm scared. See you tomorrow.
