Songs to Remember: Ah Ah - Teen Top
My current schedule consists of waking up, random online s***, more random online s***, sometimes watching s*** with my cousin on Skype, then even more random online s***, and then League with my buddies, at around 10:00 to 12:00 PM. That's all gonna change tomorrow, because instead of random online s***, it's gonna be Terraria.
Today I opened 9 cases on CSGO, while broadcasting it on Twitch for my cousins to watch. From 7 Chroma 2 cases,1 Operation Breakout, and 1 Chroma, I got 3 MP7 Armor Cores, 3 Negev Man 'o' Wars, 1 P250 Something (Iforgot), and 2 AWP Worm Gods. Out of 9 cases, I only got 2 purple items out of that.
Was it as good as I was expecting it to be? No...no. But hey, 2 AWP Worm God Factory New, I can't complain with that. Just kidding, I would complain with that. Am I gonna try to get more cases ever again? No, not really. I'd rather just play CSGO once every couple days or so, because I don't wanna have to stare at the death screen and watch someone else every round, doing Spectate Simulator 2015.
Tomorrow my cousin's gonna start his "work" at a computer warehouse and while I'm here at home, playing through Terraria 1.3. I'm actually gonna wake up early tomorrow, just to play it right away. I didnt say I was going to sleep early, I'm going to wake up early. Still, I'm probably gonna go to sleep at around 2:00 AM, because all night I'm busy watching Medabots. I'm on episode 51 right now, and holy hell, (spoilers kinda) Metabee really does use the Medaforce constantly, even for filler episodes that don't contribute to the story whatsoever, and about 75% of the episodes are that.
I thought I was almost finished with it, but no, there are MORE episodes. So, there's that. Also Ln's probably gonna message me late at night, talking 'bout K-Pop stuff, because of previews for the next series The Days. It's not bad, it's, kinda good. So anyways, see you tomorrow. Terraria 1.3, my body is ready.

Songs to Remember: Electric Feel (Kygo Remix) - MGMT
If not for doing tutoring, my summer would've been 99% indoors. But with tutoring, my summer would be about 90% indoors.
To make my summer more interesting and to build up hype for the upcoming series The Days, I've been having Facebook convos with Em and Ln. Mostly they consist of Em asking me to hangout, and Ln talking about her K-Pop contests and heights. As in, how tall someone is. Like, she's already asked for my height twice.
So anyways, looks my cousin isn't going to LA. Most likely due to him getting a small job, but which so happens to be during this week/next week, so because of that, his parents most likely aren't gonna be going. It's fine though, I mean, who needs lan parties anyways, heh. *sigh* But hey today I opened my first CSGO case. It was an operation breakout case and I got a UMP Labyrinth. Wow. It would've been amazing to get a purple or something higher, but hey, it was my first case.
Tomorrow I'm expecting to be receiving 7 keys and 14 cases tomorrow by my cousin, so, I'll be doing a big opening of those tomorrow. That is, after my cousin comes back from his job meeting tomorrow. It's at a computer warehouse, he'll probably be greeting people as they come in or something.
It's been a while lately since I've talked about actual s*** besides video games (even though when I started this whole thing, I did mention I'd be talking about video games), besides the legalization of gay marriage 2 days ago. But it looks like I won't be doing that anytime soon because I have STILL, yet to clean out my binder. And Terraria 1.3's coming out in a day, sooooo, that'll consume all my time for the next week.
Today there was just Terraria, and umm, yeah. Sooo uh see you tomorrow.

Due to construction, I'm not going to LA 'till Saturday (July 4th). My cousin's going to LA on Friday (July 3rd), and leaving on Sunday. Basically we're only going to be seeing each other for like, half a day. Oh and uh, I updated the song list finally.
I had a dream last night about me being in P.E. I was with a buddy of mine, we in were in a class in P.E and I guess we were supposed to rehearse for graduation. He was a senior and I'm obviously not, so I get kinda paranoid that the teacher would find out. When I asked the P.E teacher about being in the class with my buddy even though I'm not a senior, she just kept on yelling. Pretty much an anxiety dream right there.
Today I played a bit of CSGO with my buddy, a bit of Terraria with my cousin (after I gifted him a copy that I got from the Steam sale). And uh, yeah. Pretty much it for gaming. The Terraria 1.3 change-log was posted today. A LOT more content than I thought there'd be. More hyped for 1.3 than ever. Also I'm most likely going to have to build a new village for 1.3 due to all the new blocks and textures. So hyped.
Oh and my cousin and I watched some cringe compilation videos. That was an experience in of itself. So uh yeah, time for me to sign off for the day. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: 1-4-3 - Henry
Looks like it's another Friday, another 4 hours of tutoring. The day was pretty good. Pretty good. Always unexpected fun times.
Helped my buddy Ek tutor a girl, she was more interested in drawing than actually doing math, so that was fun. My 9th grade tutee from last time didn't show so, that's aight. We instead (we being me, Ek, and Dv) tutor Dv's cousin, for, about the first session. It was then break time, but it kinda lingered on for a while, and so we just decided to have the 2nd session be break time instead.
So yeah, it was fun. Umm, next weekend I'll be going to LA to my grandmother's house for a week, and uh, that'll be a blast. I'm actually starting to feel less, I don't know, lazy. Or, unexcited. Oh wait- bored. That's the word. I'm starting to feel less bored, probably because I did different s*** today and that should bring me out of this lazy, bored spell.
But anyways, yeah, fun day. Played some Terraria, some Battle Party with my buddies, and a little League. Also, I'll be getting my keys and cases on CS:GO in a few days, so that'll be fun. Also, Terraria 1.3 is coming in a few days as well. Not sure which one to be more excited for. Probably Terraria.
And so, I'll see you tomorrow. EDIT: Ah s***, that's what I wanted to talk about. Even though I shouldn't really put an edit 5 minutes after I posted this, I'll do it anyways.
Today marked gay marriage as legal, here in America. There was a lot of celebration, specifically social networking sites like Facebook with all the rainbow profile pictures. I just wanna say that history was made today, and that it's pretty cool living in the time for it. One day youngsters will ask me what it was like when they legalized gay marriage in all states. I'd be like "Well, as much as I can remember, there were a lot of rainbow profile pictures on Facebook". Then they'd be like "What's Facebook?".
Anyways, kids in the future are gonna have to remember today's date for a history test. "When was gay marriage legalized in the U.S?" "June 26, 2015". Oh and uh, legalize crystal f***ing gay marriage. See you tomorrow.

And why is it so f***ing hot now. It's 12:57 AM, but it's 69 degrees still. You know, not everyday's exciting. This day is probably more like one of the many other past days this summer so far. Also, time. I could write a whole posy about it, how it's going too slow, too fast, how I manage it, how I don't manage it, how I'm lazy, and how I say I'm going to do s***, when I don't do s***. I think I need a bit of that Shia Labouf motivation.
Anyways, I just wanna sleep. So, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Be a Man - MBLAQ
My cousin said, "Damn, summer's going by fast" and I was thinking like "Yeah, it's 'cause we're sitting here doing the same thing everyday- on the computer, playing games, watching random s***, surveys, and even more random s***".
I actually checked the time about 10 minutes ago. I was like " Is today Wednesday? Aww man, that means tomorrow is Thursday". I look at the time on my phone and it said 12:30, Thursday, June 25. I was like "OH S*** TODAY WAS THURSDAY?" But then I remembered the date changes after midnight. So yeah, that was my little struggle with time for the moment. I may not be productive, but at least I'm getting better at League right? That wombo combo team my buddies and I did. We won.
Hmmm. Well. I gotta say this right now, this has got to be, the most, least productive summer. I'm not sure if it's because I actually am being lazy, or it's because I did the same thing every summer for so long that I'm used to it now, or I'm older, or, whatever. I once read how people only get like 52 summers or something in their lifetime. Oh wait no, it was weekends. Or something like that.
I think, that since I'm doing new things and actually going places, that time passes by without me even noticing it. I'm staring at the screen, get sinked into a game, look at the time again and bam, hours pass by. Also I, wake up fairly late (around 11:00 AM, sometimes earlier). Yeah, I'm definitely going to have a really, really hard time waking up for school. And oh man, once that cones again, seeing what classes I got, registration, f***, that would really suck right now. After how late I go to sleep, how late I wake up.
If not for the tutoring thing I do every Friday, I probably would never get fresh air for like, a month. I know I'm lazy, but, never would I have thought I'd become this lazy. Anyways, that's what I've been thinking these past few days, hopefully, eh, some s*** pops up and I'd get off my f***ing lazy ass, I'm actually regretting not hanging out with Dn at that bootleg gaming place. F***. Alright, see you tomorrow.

I think my dream job is graphic designing. Also, the Terraria 1.3 trailer was released today. I didn't expect it to change the game THAT much. Like, damn.
One of the things I look for in games is customization, the ability to make something my own. If a game has that, 10/10. Well, at least 6/10. I like to make things different, like, not sure how to explain it. For example, in YuGiOh, I like using anti-meta decks, deck-types that many people aren't using. Same goes for music and bands (most of the time). I'm kinda into songs that aren't mainstream.
The first time I did graphic design was probably YouTube backgrounds. Or, maybe Pokemon sprite recoloring or something. I made A LOT of YouTube backgrounds, going through all the different YouTube channel looks over the years. I then did other stuff, but, mostly YouTube backgrounds. I had a cracked version of Photoshop from my cousin, and, had a lot of fun with that.
And now I'm doing like, avatars and Twitch stream overlays. I think I like graphic design so much is because I'm allowed to do whatever I want. Like, someone could request a, uh, waterfall background. I could do any kind of waterfall I want, any type, there's so many options. Also, pictures. Photography's pretty cool too. I also like simplistic designs, like triangles, and, the colors fuchsia pink and cotton candy blue.
I also realized it was Tuesday. Huh. Also I'm getting kinda bored with Terraria. FOR NOW. Until 1.3 comes out, I'll be making Twitch backgrounds, designing a new Terraria village in T-Edit, aaand do this. And, watch more Medabots, And, random YouTube videos and whatnot.
I'm probably gonna do my summer assignments at the last minute. And I still have yet to clean out my binders. So, see you tomorrow.

I spent the whole playing Terraria at the dining table. Because there had to be construction work in my room, at, 10:00 AM.
About 9 hours went into playing Terraria, I planned to "beat" the game before the 1.3 update to get an experience of what the 1.2.4 update felt like. Because I stopped playing after the Pumpkin Moon update back in October of 2013.
Only when I exited the game (about 30 minutes ago, it's 11:10 PM right now) did I gain back my grasp of reality. I'm actually having a good track of the date. I see it's June 22, and after seeing all those Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook pictures of others doing s*** at the beach and whatnot, I'm like "Yep. Spent the whole month of June, here. As in, this exact spot where I'm writing all this right now".
And then I'm like "F***ing summer assignments". You know, I'm actually planning to start doing my Honors English summer assignment. As in, reading, then making a f***ing poster. Ehhhh. I actually planned to empty out my binder, about a few weeks ago. They're, still sitting there. On the middle of the floor, in my room.
Anyways, I think I'll just marathon some Medabots or Running Man 'till I get tired and go to sleep. So, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Round and Round - Selena Gomez and The Scene
It's back! Battlebots that is. I watched a bit of it years back, when I was like 4 or something. And today it's finally back. I don't actually have access to the ABC channel, but good thing there's online livestreams for channels. I never thought I'd be excited to watch TV again, heh.
Battlebots, if you don't know, is a show about robots... that battle. Teams bring in their constructed robots and battle it out. This time, there are like, new rules and gimmicks, such as allowing multiple bots, flying bots, all kinds. And there's a lot more variations as well compared to the original Battlebots.
From watching Tested's reviews of the bots before the 1st episode aired, there was one bot that caught my eye. It was Team APTYX's Biteforce. It had magnetic treads to provide traction, along with the magnets to provide even more traction and tankiness. And damn, did it (spoilers) destroy their first matchup, which was Warhead. Warhead looked pretty f***ing cool, but it's looks didn't help it from getting pushed around by Biteforce.
Aside from Battlebots, it's Father's day. Now, I don't really say "I love you" to my dad (I mean, I did when I was little), because it's all too personal, it's kinda uncomfortable. It's just given now, that my dad and I both love eachother, even though I don't say it.
Also, I got my 2nd Steam card today. Fi-na-lly. Thought it'd be coming Monday. Gave the code to my cousin to buy the CS:GO keys and crates off the marketplace (because Steam won't allow me unless it's 30 days after my 1st purchase), only to find out, I still gotta wait a week because Steam doesn't allow trading of items bought off the marketplace for a whole week.
Nice, very nice. Well anyways, I enjoyed some Battlebots, Terraria, and VVVVVV (I now have $0.06 left on my Steam account) today. Umm, I'll most likely play some more Terraria or something tomorrow. Until then, see you tomorrow.

Not much fancy stuff going today, just, playing video games. I started off with $40 ($20 of my own money, and one of my $20 Steam Wallet cards which I got for free). I now have $1.59 left on my Steam account. Yeah, I never, ever expected to spend that much, even with the Steam card I received for free.
I bought 2 copies of Terraria for the low-low price of $2.49 (what a steal), 3 copies of BattleBlock Theater (2 copies for $3.74 each, 1 copy for $1.49), Garry's Mod ($7.49, but I'm refunding it to re-buy it at $4.99), 4 copies of Castle-Crashers ($7.49 in total), and finally CS:GO ($7.49) for a total of $38.41. Not bad considering that a retail game on console costs about $50 on average.
I did however made some mistakes. I bought BattleBlock Theater too early, so instead of grabbing 'em each for $1.49 (what a f***ing steal), I was only able to get one for that price. I bought Garry's Mod a bit early. The flash sale ended for it, so it just went on regular sale of 50% off, which, for a game like Garry's Mod, it's still a steal for the amount of content. I never heard of the "Encore Sale" at the end of Steam sales, so, unless it was at a godly discount, I should've just waited.
It was my first Steam sale, I had fun, Steam sales are fun, but definitely not fun for my wallet, even though I actually spent $20 out of my real wallet. I still got $1.59 left, I'm deciding whether to just get one more copy of BattleBlock Theater (seriously, $1.49 for that game is such an insane low-price for the amount of content and fun in that game. Also I'm sucker for TheBehemoth), or get my old favorite platformer, VVVVVV, boasting graphics that I love, as well as the soundtrack, for just $1.24.
I'm definitely looking forward to the Steam Christmas sale, that's gonna be a lot of fun, these games I bought this week are gonna bring me lots of wasted time (which I will enjoy), for a while. All in all, I'm satisfied. Would kinda want Shovel Knight though, but sssss, 15% off ain't that great. Anyways, I'll get back to Terraria, surveys, mindlessly watching YouTube videos, shows, movies, Skype calling, and sleep. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Come a Little Closer - Cage the Elephant
It's really a different feeling when you're tutoring kids (an even one who is going into 9th grade) while you're surrounded by people you know.
I woke up at 10:00 AM today. I tried to get some games in before I leave at 1:00 PM to go tutor at the library. It opens at 1:00 PM, so people can help setup the tables and chairs. I've done that, and I've also stayed after 15 minutes to help clean up. Yeah, I worked up a lot of sweat when I did any of the preparing or cleaning. So, I decided to go a bit late now.
My buddy wasn't there, and our table already had people sitting at it, so I sat at a different table, which was located just one table over, to the middle front of the whole auditorium (in which I sorta regret). My buddy finally showed up, and the place was pretty packed. The first session was just my buddy and I tutoring his cousin. We established a format which includes him tutoring his cousin for the 1st session, then I tutor his cousin for the 2nd session. That way, we don't actually fully exhaust ourselves.
Believe it or not, I yawned, a lot, towards the end. Sitting in the same spot for 4 hours is more exhausting than you think. Anyways, the people running the whole tutoring thing, had a dude (who was from Stanford/Harvard, don't really remember) spoke about STEM and all that, and how this whole tutoring is amazing and that it should be implemented all across the country. The mayor was also here to speak, about, pretty much the same thing.
Towards the end of the 2nd session, because my buddy and I were sitting and tutoring at the very front table, a dude who was assisting in the hosting of the whole event asked us if we both had a tutee each. Well, of course not. I just so barely passed Algebra II/Trig with a B, and it just so happens that the dude asked one of us to tutor a dude coming into 9th grade. I'm like "Oh, dear".
Like, I'm pretty sure the dude knew more than me. After confirming that I would be tutoring the dude, he leaves with his mom to go, do something, or something. Not sure. I was like "Hmmm, alright, that's aight with me". About 5 minutes later, he comes back and well, I gotta tutor him. So, after I asked him what math class he would be going into (Algebra II I guess), and the fact that there were no Algebra II or Trigonometry textbooks at all there, I jumped into a bit of what I remember from Algebra II/Trig.
Polynomials, the basic trigonometric functions, good thing I had my phone to help me out. After a bit of that, it was the end of session 1, and well, break time. He goes off again, not, really, sure where he went, but I was still fine with that. And then this whole, group convo happens, my buddies sitting at the table next to my buddy and I, Ek comes and sits at our table, I meet up with my old tutoring buddy Ad (I think that was the name I used for him), my brain was just kinda at a stand-still, just for a moment, due to the realization of "Wait, is this happening right now".
It wasn't bad, it was good. And so, break time was over, we got back to work, still no sign of that 9th grader dude, I tutored my buddy's cousin, Ek was still there, random, lots of random shenanigans, I think partly due to the fact that people start to lose a bit of their sanity after being there for 4 hours straight. Cards (in which I actually recognize the brand, and was appalled by the sheer wear on the deck itself), card games, pens, fake being shocked by a pen, my buddy, he got Starbucks halfway through, my other buddy, gossip, kids, me, people, just, all around f***ing swell time.
No Ln though, but maybe probably next time. Oh yeah, the atmosphere really changes when it transitions from 1st to 2nd session. You can visually see it, and feel it. Kinda weird. Oh and uh, many texts and Snapchats along the way as well. I had to multi-task throughout the whole thing, I think I did well. Also Dn invited me to go hangout at this, gamer lounge in downtown. She mentioned how it has like, consoles you play, lots of screens, pc's, food, drinks, and a bar. I was like "Waiiit. You mentioned drinks".
I look it up on YouTube, see how the place is pretty, tacky, and uh, I was kinda tired and lazy. So I did the most boot-f**ing-leg bail I have ever done and Snapchatted her, "Oh noes, I gotta leave for LA. Like right now". Not sure if she took it literal or not. We still Snapchatted, with my background still being my normal background. Also, she's clearly doing something with her Snapchats. It's definitely, some really f***ing bootleg subliminal messaging alright. You'll see what I mean in an example picture.
So anyways, I'll catch ya later. Maybe some hype s*** happened tomorrow or something. I don't know. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Kiss My Lips - BOA
Well, well, it seems we're approaching 500 posts. Only about, 5 more posts until we reach it. 500 posts here! That's like one post each, for a year and half! Crazy right?
I wish I had some cooler stuff to talk about for the 500th post soon, but it looks like I won't. I wake up at 11:00 AM, sit here in this spot in front of my pc, play games and do surveys whilst Skyping with my cousin, eat, rinse, repeat.
This'll probably repeat 'till July, for that is when I'll be going to LA, to my grandmother's house. Anyways, I played games. All day. A bit of Garry's mod, some CS:GO, I planned out a little livestream to show my cousin a case opening (in CS:GO), buuut, turns out you can't buy anything off the Steam marketplace until after 30 days of making your first purchase. Wow.
So, what I'm hoping to do is send my Steam Wallet code to my cousin, in which he'll use it, get the funds, buy keys and cases for me, then trade me 'em. A big hassle for me to buy in-game stuff. And it actually doesn't cost anything at all. I got it all on sites, just by doing surveys.
Oh yeah, the Steam card. It actually came in today, 6 days, after I ordered it. Turns out, they ran out, and I had account issues, but, here it is. Also the admin who handled my situation with the order was pretty friendly. The one who handled my account blockage, was not. All in all, things are going just fine, for now. I'm getting my 2nd Steam card tomorrow probably, and that'll be for more games in the future. Because all I can use it for, are games.
Tomorrow I'll also be tutoring, so, that's a good 4 hours. Hopefully it'll be action-packed like last week's. Gives sort of a... a continuation, or, a little extra- bonus- behind the scenes, aftermath vibe, of 100% Chance of Bad. Also a bit of a preview to The Days. I feel like I've said this before. Anyways, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Get - Urban Zakapa
I actually had another dream where I sat in a seat and ended up next to no hot girls. Also I forgot my P.E clothes. I woke up and I was like "What the f***, I'm not even at school".
Well, it seems I'm having a bit too fun with these games. Because I'm kinda slipping up on doing these posts. I mean, I still do 'em, just not to the best of my abilities. Anyways, BattleBlock Theater, was a blast with my cousin. We're not even done with the game yet, so, we still have a lot of levels to go through, for when we're at our grandmother's house in L.A during July.
Terraria, I worked a lot on a new house, ready to put onto a new world for the 1.3 update during the beginning of July. And uh, I got my first taste of CS:GO matches today. Yeah, not that great. I probably spent about 90% of my play-time sitting at the death screen, watching someone else. The only thing that interests my now in the game is opening cases, and luckily, I found this new site where I can do surveys for keys and skins, so in about a week (or maybe tomorrow, who knows), I'll have the chance to get a knife in one of them, and from that, it'll spiral out of control and I'll be making mad loads of money.
But that's just hoping, in my chances, probably won't happen, but hey, it's fun to imagine. I'll see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Green Light - John Legend
So I finally caved, and after finding out that my site that I had used to work for my $20 Steam card blocked me (until they got back to me on the problem, which would take a couple days), I decided to just get my games upfront. Yes, with money.
I waited patiently enough, a good 5 days, so, that was that. Good news though, I now own Terraria, CS:GO, and Battleblock Theater, 2 of which I will be giving a copy of to my cousin so we can both play. So, tomorrow will be pretty fun. And the upcoming weeks.
After receiving an update for the picture app on my phone, I was like "Alright alright, I'll get rid of some of the pictures". The majority of my phone space is probably music, apps, and pictures of my math textbook. I took A LOT of pictures of my math textbook. Like, the pages inside, not the whole thing, I'm no textbook photographer. Anyways, it was much easier to pull up a photo of a page rather than flip through the humongous thing itself.
I also found pictures (that were somehow saved) of my Chemistry homework that I took for Yn, Snapchats from Dn, and just a whole bunch of memes. Alright, just cleared out all those textbook images, and a bit of random saved images too. A total count of 311. Yeah, never thought I'd have that much. Ever.
Also some good news: I've actually been on task in watching Medabots. Episode 31 now, I think. Also a good time to go watch movies. Also a good time to play games, and, well, play games. I think I just realized how much free-time I have just now. Wow. Well, alrighty.
I would talk a bit about E3 and how I didn't go, but I watch here at home from a livestream and saw the Star Wars Battlefront gameplay, COD: BO3 gameplay, and the Nintendo World Championships, buuut that's going a bit too into detail on s*** that probably won't matter. I mean, there's gonna be E3 every year.
So without further ado (or adieu, never really though about this phrase), uhhh, see you tomorrow. I'll probably be watching Medabots and a bit of Running Man tonight. See ya.

Thank goodness it's still Monday. I often lose track of what day it is during the summer, because, everyday's a Saturday.
Another day without my Steam card. Not many Steam sales went by today, so that's good. I'm basically just doing surveys and waiting for my Steam card to arrive in my email. That's basically it. Along with Skyping my cousin but, that's everyday.
So I'm sitting waiting on a code to be sent to my email, while other people are going to theaters and watching Jurassic World, going to meetups and taking pictures with Gina Darling (like, here, like near where I live probably), and theme parks. And cruises. And, traveling around the world.
And uh, yeah. Kinda tired now, I'll see you tomorrow.

A lot of new game releases, most of which I'll probably never play, partly due to my Steam card not delivered by now.
I actually woke up 12:00 PM today, even though I went to sleep at about 1:00 AM. That's actually earlier than I usually sleep now, around 2:00 AM. At least today I remembered to start watching something besides YouTube videos, and that was to continue watching Medabots. I started watching it during summer of 2013 maybe? Or last year. Got to about episode 25 (after all those years), so, about 25 more episodes to go.
Hopefully I get my Steam card tomorrow, so I won't have to physically wait, and by that I mean sit in front of my computer, bored. See you tomorrow.

Waiting for my Steam card code to be emailed to me is actually a thing. I actually waited.
But it still hasn't come yet. I never I ever would be hyped about a Steam sale, only to be denied the ability to participate in it due to s*** not being sent on the weekends. Stupid, mail, and s***. Anyways, not much happened today. I actually asked myself what day it was when I was writing the heading of the post.
Played a couple online Pokémon matches with my old buddy, the one who recently got back into competitive Pokémon battling. Yeah, I'm not as great as before. Also I found out that there are actually a lot of games I wanna get from the Steam sale, of which includes Battle Block Theater, Terraria, CS:GO, Magicka, and Castle Crashers, a couple which have already passed on the daily deals and I missed out on 'em because stupid order delays.
I refreshed my order page many many times today. So much, that I decided to just wait. I literally lied down for 10 minutes or so, waiting. And then I grew bored and I remembered that one movie, "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World". Pretty funny movie. I re-watched it, and well, here I am. At 1:03 AM.
So yeah. Pretty much my whole day right there. Hopefully, I get it tomorrow. And that's with hope. So, see you tomorrow.

Waiting for my Steam card code to be emailed to me is actually a thing. I actually waited.
But it still hasn't come yet. I never I ever would be hyped about a Steam sale, only to be denied the ability to participate in it due to s*** not being sent on the weekends. Stupid, mail, and s***. Anyways, not much happened today. I actually asked myself what day it was when I was writing the heading of the post.
Played a couple online Pokémon matches with my old buddy, the one who recently got back into competitive Pokémon battling. Yeah, I'm not as great as before. Also I found out that there are actually a lot of games I wanna get from the Steam sale, of which includes Battle Block Theater, Terraria, CS:GO, Magicka, and Castle Crashers, a couple which have already passed on the daily deals and I missed out on 'em because stupid order delays.

Friday, June 12, 2015 "Too Lazy to Be Lazy."
Friday, June 12, 2015
Week: 43
Songs to Remember: Out of My League - Fitz and the Tantrums, Party Rock - Boys Republic, Candy - ZoPD
If I were to describe what myself this past week, I would describe myself as too lazy to be lazy. I think that description fits a bit too well.
Even though my buddy wasn't going to the tutoring thing at the library, I was still going. Now that was during about 12:00 PM in the morning. Well, noon. My cousin finally got out of school and we were playing Unturned. I was debating whether or not to still go to the tutoring thing, I mean, I could've just told my mom that they canceled it and I wouldn't be going.
But then I was like, I didn't want to bail out on my buddies there just 'cause one of my buddies weren't going to be there. I then looked at how lazy I was, that the entire week and all day and everyday I do nothing but sit in front of my computer. Tutoring would be one day a week, for only 4 hours, on Fridays, I don't have to go each time, and today there's a 30 minute orientation at the beginning of each session, so today would be only 3 hours of actual tutoring time. I didn't want to go at that time because my biddy wasn't there, and I wanted to play a video game with my cousin at that time.
I couldn't have been more lazier. Reminds me of that one Reddit post on Askreddit where this commander moved a whole ship so it would cover the sun at his eyes while he was sitting down. Anyways, I decided "F***, I can't bail" and just went. Thank goodness I did though, heh. It went fairly smoothly. I met my buddies, and well, it went smoothly.
We sat down at a table, the people holding the event were assigning people (us tutors) to a student (the tutees, aka, the kids). The line for tutors was huge, and there weren't that many tutees. So, it was basically 2-3 people per student. I didn't really care what grade the student is who I'd be tutoring. Well, turns out my buddy's little cousin was there and so he was tutoring him. There were far more tutors than tutees, so I helped, as well, as this girl who sat with us. When she was writing her name on the sign-in sheet we all had to sign, I recognized her. She was a girl in my P.E class one time, I think.
After the first session was over (1:15 PM to 3:15 PM), she left, and lots of more tutors came in, along with more tutees. A lot of people came in. It was break time, and as people came in to sign in on the sign-in sheet, I saw someone who looked a lot like Zi. I forgot my glasses today (in the car after I arrived at the library, I was like "F***, I can't see s***"). I squinted, she came closer, and I determined it was Zi. Damn I am blind now. Anyways, I was like "Ayy Zi" and she was like "Oh hey, what's up loser". Jokingly, in a playful, friendly manner by the way.
Jc was there as well, even Vy and her dude friend. I was like "Jeeezus, there is a lot of people here. Especially people who I know/see around school". A lot of people featured in 100% Chance of Bad. It could not have been a better intro to the aftermath for 100% Chance of Bad. And it was even a better prologue to The Days, the upcoming series (that reminds me, I gotta include that in the blog banner soon).
How did it top you may ask? As I was tutoring my buddy's cousin (cool kid, he's in 1st grade but can do fractions and all that), this girl came up to me (I didnt even expect it) and asked "Hey, are you Drew?". I had the biggest unexpected inner smile (and a little putter smile) and I replied "Yeah. You're Ln right?". It was Ln. I had a short half-second pause after I replied "Yeah" because it all caught me off guard so much. I was really happy, because it made the day so much better, it brung much more hype for the upcoming series, and, the fact that she recognized me out of everyone there, without my glasses on, and that I never told her I would be there. Now THAT, was astonishing, and impressive.
That was it though, she had to go back and tutor her tutee at another table. It just made the hype and anticipation even more for The Days. Man that's gonna be hell of a series. Anyways, the rest of tutoring went well. Was it worth it that I got up my lazy ass for once? Yes, yes it was. And it got even better than that after, believe or not. After dinner, my cousin got CS:GO (this video game) and I was still waiting on my Steam gift code to be sent to my email off of that survey site I do. I played a bit of Unturned, got bored, and switched to watching videos.
I got a message on Skype from Em (who I originally named Eo as I found out today, but I'll stick to Em) and she asked if I was free for a video-chat. I, being horrible at checking s***, said "Sure" after about 10 minutes. She still responded though, and we commenced the video-chat. I haven't actually video-chatted with her in a while, and it looks like she's finally all chill now. Like, as in, she's no more of her "emo-phase" as she calks it. Which, is nice. We talked about how's it going, how's it been, stuff around her room, and all sorts of stuff like that, anime, etc. She acts weird, I can freely agree to her weirdness, because I'm weird too, heh. It's best to be close to people who you act weird around and they like it.
It came to a part where we discussed birthdays or whatever, and she mentioned the time when we first messaged each other. I had the idea to look on the archived messages on Facebook, but her original Facebook was deleted. It took me a while, but I did find the post that I made on here, talking 'bout she messaged me for the first time (Thursday, January 23, 2014 if you wanna see it). Not as cringey as I thought it'd be, so I shared it with her. First time I shared even a post from here, with someone. I trust her though, so I could basically tell everything to her if I wanted to, because she trusts me as well.
She works everyday on the nightshift, so it kinda feels weird that I'm talking to someone with a job. Well, I'm not sure where she works or how or what, but in her position and with a job, I just find it odd. Only because, I'm just not used to it, heh. And so, it got pretty late, she went to sleep, and I proceeded to play a League match with my bud. And it guess what? It gets, even, better. I received messages from my old buddy during tutoring, who got back into competitive Pokémon battling, and wanted to discuss some more stuff about it.
I didn't respond back much because I was busy tutoring, and only now did I see the more recent messages. I replied (at around 12:30 AM or so) and well, he was up. So, we're having a discussion on competitive Pokémon battling, at, currently, 1:55 AM. This is what summer's all about baby! This is what that aftermath of 100% Chance of Bad, that prologue to The Days. This makes me not be lazy, heh.
Anyways, I did not expect to write this much today, but I did. And guess what? I'm not even tired. It's pretty amazing actually, considering that I slept at 2:30 AM last night, and had hammers hammering away in the garage in the next room. Also, I had a dream last night. My family was held hostage by these dudes, I tried to call 911, every time I typed out 9, it became a 7, and each time I pressed 1, it became a (-1). Yeah. And so, see you tomorrow.

I really, really don't get my well-desvered sleep. It's 1:49 AM right now, I'm hungry, and I'm afraid this is going to have to be another one of those posts.
So, tomorrow, probably just do some random s***, Steam sale (my first one this year, never actually had interest in Steam 'till this week). And uhh, yeah, tutor some kids. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Party Rock - Boys Republic
I am seriously procrastinating even more than when school was still in. I play a couple hours of a game, theeeen just watch random videos and soon it ends up being 6:30 PM and I gotta shower, eat, and play League.
I could be cleaning my room, maybe get started on some of those bootleg summer assignments for Honors English and AP Biology, or watch all those movies and shows I said I wanted to watch but never got the time to. Well, I got time now. So, hopefully tomorrow I can at least get something done. I'll be sure to wake up early too, because I won't be able to go back to sleep when the construction workers start up the jackhammer right outside my room.
You know I find it really weird how I'm too lazy to just sit and watch a movie or show, but I'm not too lazy when it comes to watching videos, even when I refresh my YouTube subscriptions and saying "Why is there nothing to watch?". I find it really weird. I also haven't been out of the house since the end of the 2nd series. On Friday I'ma have to though, gotta go to library and tutor.
Also my buddy got back to me on the whole school situation. Guess the administration doesn't want to deal with him or something, so they just gave him a straight up no, as well as saying something along the lines of "You're constant complaints are creating a disturbance" or something like that. But why pick on him though? I'm sure there are people from other cities that are incoming freshmen. Why not them? Hmm?
Right now he's technically not enrolled in any school. I'll be meeting him on Friday, he doesn't have to tutor since community service isn't required for the other High school, but hey, have some good times right? It's 1:13 AM now. See you tomorrow.

Week: 43
Songs to Remember: Sometimes - The Strokes, Sober - Childish Bambino
At about 7:00 PM, group chat started on Skype with my buddies. Found out my best bud is getting denied by our school and has to go to his local High school, due to the low amount of space at our school now (with the incoming Freshmen). So, basically he's going away again.
Last year I thought he was gonna stay for good. Nope. Just because he doesn't live in our city (he lives in a different city, but close enough), he gets lower priority on being able to attend pur school. Just because there are a lot of oncoming freshmen attending this Fall. It seems like every year, the amount if students coming to our schools is increasing. Like, I remember back in 7th yearbook class, I counted 700 students at our middle school. In 8th grade, that num er increased to 800. And now at our High school, the number is about 3000 students (for us, that's a lot).
Unless he gets an address to show proof that he lives here in this city, he's gotta have to go to his local High school. At first we were all accepting of it like "Well, might as well make some new friends" and "Start out with an Asian accent and pretend you're a fob". I suggested that, since he's gonna be a Junior, he only has 2 years left of High school, and the school should just allow him to stay and finish. He said his dad is going to dispute with that reason tomorrow with the school administration.
So there's that. Other schools (that I know of) don't require any community service to be done by students, so he doesn't really have to do any now this summer. Well, he decided to anyway, just for them last moments, right? So, at least I'll be seeing him this Friday (and some more Fridays) for the tutoring thing this summer.
So anyways, last night I had a SUPER bad dream. I dreamt that I was in AP Biology class. I came to class and all the seats next to any hot girls were taken, so I was bummed out about that. But then the scary s*** happens: I can't understand the lecture or material going on. Also I kept on forgetting my backpack somewhere at school. But yeah, we were all given a packet and there was math involved and I couldn't understand any of it. Nothing scarier than that. I sure hope that ain't a foretelling of what's gonna happen to me on the first day of school. Or atleast, anytime at all this upcoming school year.
And uh, as for what I did today, I played Unturned for a fair bit today. A good, 4 hours maybe. Maybe 5. I did max my stats and gotten a few achievements though. I got bored after I got basically everything I need to survive. Then after that and my usual stuff, I jumped on League with my buddy. Played a few games, nothing special in particular. And uh, yeah. Also the weather is particularly s*** lately (even though I don't go out of the house). Yesterday it was like Florida, now it's 72 degrees at 12;36 AM, and with a chance of storms. What?!
Early stages of Summer in California alright. Or, just for Drew in general. I'll see you tomorrow.

I did wake up at my usual time today, 11:00 AM. I didn't, however, do much productive things. This may be my least productive day of the year.
I woke up, worked on my Terraria home map in an editor for a good, few hours. Then I was like "You know what? I'm feeling kinda achievement-hunter-y" and went on Unturned and play 'till, about now (It's like 11:57 PM).
This is going to be one of the many days where I will have nothing to talk about, except me just, doing s*** online. Not the most fun I gotta say. See you tomorrow. And man, is it HOT. It was f***ing 93 degrees at one point today, on average, 83 degrees.

Songs to Remember: Luv Again - UNIQ
Right now I'm not sure what I should be doing. Right now it's 9:15 PM on a Sunday and I just finished a session of "Unturned" with my cousin.
Last night I was in bed and I kept on hearing thumping noises. Thought it was just coming from outside, turned out it was in my room. I sat up to look and in comes a giant moth slowly fluttering to the wall next to my bed. I arm myself with a sock and hit it, only to injure it and have it flutter in a crazy motion across my room, ending up behind my couch.
I turn on the lights and the flashlight on my phone to seek it out. After many attempts of hitting/ missing with my sock weapon, I go back to bed, thinking that it's done for the night. Nope, I hear the thumping again (it's the sound of the moth hitting the walls and objects in my room) and I was like "That's it, I don't deserve this right now". Found an old folder and said "I don't need this folder anymore". I proceed to lock onto the moth like a predator and crush that thing.
And that was how my Saturday night went. Stayed up from 12;00 AM to 1:00 AM finding and destroying that thing. I ended up waking up at 11:57 AM today, probably because of that. I slept straight through my alarms which were set at 4:00 AM, 9:00 AM, and 10:00 AM. Slept through it like "Damn!". I had the deepest sleep, and the craziest of dreams in a while.
I couldn't remember how it started, but, it went like, me and some other people, and some parents. We were all part of those like, horror attractions, like professional ones where you go through like a whole experience. There were actors in costumes, but we treated it as if they were real dangers. I remember a person throwing me a rope to get across a body of water, I grabbed on, swung over, and only got my shoes wet surprisingly.
In my dream, I remembered (like, my dream self remembered) about a cave and water location we were supposed to be in, kinda looked like a scene from the movie "Journey to the Center". Towards the end of my dream, I received a Snapchat (in my dream) from Yn, in which the pictures kinda broke me heart. That woke me up, and I was like "Damn, it's 11:57 AM". That part of the dream made me pretty depressed and shocked for a bit. I was like "Damn! That was a dream?" But then I was like "Hmm, glad it was just a dream".
Never expected to have anymore crazy dreams like that, but whadya know. Umm, so yeah. Played Unturned with my cousin today, aaand that was pretty much it. Looking forward to getting Terraria. Sooo, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Luv Again - UNIQ
Right now I'm not sure what I should be doing. Right now it's 9:15 PM on a Sunday and I just finished a session of "Unturned" with my cousin.
Last night I was in bed and I kept on hearing thumping noises. Thought it was just coming from outside, turned out it was in my room. I sat up to look and in comes a giant moth slowly fluttering to the wall next to my bed. I arm myself with a sock and hit it, only to injure it and have it flutter in a crazy motion across my room, ending up behind my couch.
I turn on the lights and the flashlight on my phone to seek it out. After many attempts of hitting/ missing with my sock weapon, I go back to bed, thinking that it's done for the night. Nope, I hear the thumping again (it's the sound of the moth hitting the walls and objects in my room) and I was like "That's it, I don't deserve this right now". Found an old folder and said "I don't need this folder anymore". I proceed to lock onto the moth like a predator and crush that thing.
And that was how my Saturday night went. Stayed up from 12;00 AM to 1:00 AM finding and destroying that thing. I ended up waking up at 11:57 AM today, probably because of that.

Songs to Remember: Driving - A.cian, Comeback When You Hear This Song - 2PM
I was about to write about how I literally did nothing really productive today, but then I remembered that I did watch the livestream for my school's graduation in the morning. Not exactly productive, but hey, I did wake up really early on a weekend for once.
Woke up at about a little past 9:30 AM. I was like "Ah s***, hopefully I didn't miss too much". Nope, they were just getting started. Umm, let's see. The principal just did like a speech or something. Then she had a chosen student sing "Forever Young" by Alphaville. I'm guessing it's a tradition or something? Of course, what kind of performance at school wouldn't be without any technical difficulties.
They literally, just needed to play an instrumental song, just one song for someone to sing to. Took 'em a couple minutes, the girl tried to save the time by saying stuff like "Woo! We're graduating" and the principal also tried to tell some really bad jokes. "What did the acorn say when he grew up? Geoemetry". Get it? Because "Geometry" sounds like "Gee, I'm a tree"? Haha? The principal was like "Alright, they fixed it, guess they don't want to hear any more of my jokes".
The location of the stage and all were just really impractical in my opinion. First of all, the stage and where the seniors were sitting were all on the left-most side of the football field. Second, it was at such an awkward angle to the audience, like, when they switched the audience POV of the livestream for a bit, I was like "Dear lord, how can anyone see anything from here".
After the girl sang, the valedictorian did her speech and somewhere towards the end of her speech, I was kinda hoping it would steer towards the "Just Do It" thing with Shia Labouf, but nope. My hopes were too high. Maybe next year though. I mean seriously, someone could just recite the whole thing from Shia Labouf and the principal, faculty, and parents wouldn't even notice.
They finally start calling out the names and handing out diplomas as the students walked across the stage. Saw a lot of people I knew, including Yue (she later posted pictures on Facebook anyway). I was expecting it to end after about, eh, 20 minutes. Nope. Went on from about 10:20 AM to about 11:00 AM. Yeah, I didn't expect reading names to take that long. I expect to be waiting and standing for a while when I graduate.
Also surprisingly it wasn't in alphabetical order. And they kept on switching announcers and diploma-hander-outers (yes, I ust said diploma-hander-outers. Those were people fromthe student board handing out the diplomas, what a suprise). At first I thought that because it was taking so goddamn long, that the diploma-hander-outers were getting tired, and the announcer. Nope. It occured to me that the announcers were teachers, and I strictly remember last year, about how my Geometry teacher, Mr.Liao, said that if we wanted him to read our names at our graduation, to just tell him.
So, yeah, that was neat. Towards the end, when they were finally done handing all of the diplomas out (you still had to go inside the gym to grab your certificate of authenticity), the graduating class was all standing together and I thought they were gonna throw they caps up like they do in the movies. Nahhh, only a couple people did it. That s***'s expensive. They finally finished it out at around 11:00 AM.
And guess what I did today? While I saw pictures of people going on places like DISNEY CRUISES IN FLORIDA, shopping, other places, movies, dying their hair, hanging out with friends, restaurants, I was sitting at home (still sitting) Skyping and, practicing my Charlier cut. My pinky kinda hurts now. Also my buddies are away, one's at LA for the weekend, one's in Laos for the weekend. And uh, yeah.
So, there was no League today. In my opinion this is probably my least productive day so far. Of the year. Maybe. Anyways, see you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Do Me a Favour - The Geek
It really does feel like a Saturday, even though it's a Friday. But there's no school right now, so everyday's a Saturday.
Woo! Welcome to Drew's 2015 Summer spectacular. The schedule consists of tutoring, eating, sleeping, Skyping, games, Cardistry, projects, and League. And just today I've already done a few of those things, which are eating, sleeping, Skyping, League, Cardistry, and drinking 3 cans of soda.
I actually learned how to do the Charlier cut today. I've attempted it before and complained that my hands are too small. Well, they are, but for this flourish I found that it's all in the thumbs baby. So now, I know how to the Charlier cut. All I gotta do is perfect it and bam. But now my deck, I think because the amount of practice I gave it today (like, the whole day) and the 62 degree temperature, I don't think my deck can do fans anymore. Or the spring for that matter. Ah well, I'll still use it for cuts and stuff, but fans and springs, that's a no-no.
I'm actually writing this at 1:04 AM. Yep, stayed up pretty late for League with my buddies. Tomorrow is the graduation day for my school. You gotta pay for a ticket for entry (kinda dumb in my opinion, but I understand). They do offer a livestream of it online, as well as hosting a viewing of the livestream of it in the school's theater. What I don't understand is why they would offer a viewing of a livestream of an event happening less than 200 YARDS AWAY from the actual event itself. Like, what the hell man. And I don't really count on their livestreaming abilities due to how they still have technical difficulties in managing the sound for microphones.
It's happening at 9:30 AM so, guess I gotta wake up early to watch that s***. Umm, besides that, I think I'll just practice Cardistry, probably some more League tomorrow as well. My cousin still has one week of school left. I'm probably going to LA around July, maybe. Not, really, sure. Oh yeah, I actually went into the living room today and looked up the K-Pop channel. I sometimes hear K-Pop songs played when my parents are skimming through channels, so I knew for sure there was one.
I wanted to see if it was really Arirang, turned out it was kinda it. It was the "24 Hour K-Pop Channel". I was like "Oh man, 24 Hour? Holy s*** this is the god channel". But with the bootleg green screen thing the hosts were doing, I was like "Ehhhh". They even played some old songs like "Kiss" by Dara. I was like "Damn, that's old, but OG". They also showed some bits from Arirang, like, reruns of stuff from Arirang, but hey, it's on T.V so it seems kinda cool.
Not sure what I should even write about everyday. Maybe stuff I forgot to tell from school? That's if I can remember it. Umm, I could maybe talk about topics like, feminism or- oh god, wait for it, [TRIGGERED]. I'm just kidding. I don't know, topics like what I used to do in my old posts, now those were OG. Umm, we'll see. Maybe s*** happens online or something and I could talk about that.
Because just like regular weekends during school time, I had nothing to talk about. Since evrydah's a Saturday, I basically got nothing to talk about then! I'll think of something, in the meantime, see you tomorrow.

I was being such an ass yesterday. I was just a salty, jealous, paranoid, insecure little baby. But uh, after what happened today I could just leave it all behind. 'Cause what I'm looking forward to is the next series, baby.
Last night I didn't really study, I wasn't in the mood for it, you know why. I tried studying for a bit, but then it was about 10:30 PM and I just wanted my sleep. I was "Oh my goodness, this is gonna take forever". So, I tried to just get a good night's sleep.
Woke up, didn't really know what to expect today. Came to school, bell rang, I'm like "Hmmm, should I take off my lock from my locker now? Do I have the time?". Then I was like "Nahh" and just went to 5th period. The seating was the same as for any test in the class- random seating according to when we enter through the door. I ended up finding myself sitting behind Cm and right next to (to the left of) Zi, just like on that one test day where she asked me if I wanted to be friends, heh.
I really, really didn't know what to expect for the test. I was just like "Ah f*** it" on the final. The first part consisted of 30 multiple choice questions, no calculators, and that was probably the hardest part of the whole thing. We started at 8:00 AM. I'm on the 5th question and I look at the clock and it's almost 9:30 PM. I'm like "Ah s***, speed up, SPEED UP". So I did. I was on about question 25 when I realized not one person has turned in their first part of the test yet, even when it was 9:00 AM (we had 2 hours so 10:00 AM was the end time). Around this time, the teacher told everyone that we needed to hurry up or else we wouldn't have enough time to finish part 2.
What she didn't tell us was that part 2 was just 15 questions. I hurried to finish up the last 5 questions and got part 2 of the test, Had about 30 minutes left to do the 15 questions of part 2, with calculator allowed for this part of course. I made the most logical guesses I could do. After time was up, we turned in our tests and everybody was like "Yeahhh, that was pretty s****y". I agree. Oh well, at least I had about an 85% grade before this final, and if I get at least a C on this, my grade will probably be around 83% soooo still a B. I'm actually fine with that.
Ms.Tseng (or "The Tsenginator" as some call her) was a very, uh, challenging teacher for me. The beginning of the year, holy hell, I said Math was my most hated class. Then it was P.E. Then it went Math, and then a bit of English, a back and forth between P.E and Math. Anyways, the way she taught was waaaay different than what I had previously experience in other math classes that I've taken. It basically became a "Forget everything about what you previously know about math and learn it my way" kind of thing.
I remembered that it was too late to switch classes so I basically just set a bar for myself, that I would need to try A LOT harder than what I was doing. The Shia Labouf Motivation video would've actually came in handy, heh. I was getting C's, D's, a bit of F's here and there for the first few couple quizzes and tests. It wasn't until I got a good grade on a test that I was like "Hey, this 'work harder' thing is working out". I proceeded to get a C on the next test after that one, but hey, I didn't give up.
I got used to the work, tests, quizzes. Polynomials were my worst nightmare, heh. I was deciding if I wanted to do regular Pre-Calculus next year, 'cause I wasn't sure if I wanted to experience another one of these hell classes. But, Zi was doing Honors, my buddy was doing Honors Pre-cal, so I was like "Ehhhh, f*** it man, f*** it". I blame part of my decision on peer pressure, heh. It's just like how that one guy from my P.E swimming class phrases it: "Do it and you're cool! Do it and you're cool!".
Now that I'm done with the class, I actually wish to be in her class again for Pre-Cal. Why? Because I'm already used to how she teaches, she even said "With what I taught you so far, you should have no problem with Honors Pre-Cal". So, there's that. Ms.Tseng was/is a challenging teacher, but as long as you do it all her way, it sorta becomes easier. Sorta. Anyways, I learned a lot about Algebra II and Trigonometry (more than I would've liked) from her teaching so I'd like to thank her for that.
Off to break, and after that (nothing really happened during break time) off to 6th period Chinese class. Started off with me walking there and seeing Zi and Jc. We proceeded to give ourselves a group hug. That was really comforting, like "Damn, last day, really?". Came inside and began with the test. It was about 30 questions, 25 multiple choice, 5 were "re-arrange the phrases to make a sentence" questions. I, did not study.
As I began the test, I looked at the answer sheet compared to the test. I was like "What the f***, why is it all over the place". It seemed really weird, but everyone else was having no problem filling it out. So, I just went with it. Only until after I turned it in did I realize "Wait, was the title of the answer sheet Chinese 3?" (I'm in Chinese 1 by the way). After a bit, teacher calls my name, tells me that it was the wrong answer sheet, proceeded to ask me to transfer my answers over to a correct one.
Turns out it was the answer sheet for the final for the Chinese 3 class. All the tests and answer sheets were already passed out on our desks when we came in the classroom, so I just used the one that was already on my desk. Transferred the answers, turned it in, everybody was finished, and we went as a class to the G-building book room to turn in our textbooks. I was like "Ahh, just like the beginning of the series".
We came back to our classroom and the teacher let everyone see their scores. Highest in the class? 190/200 (Let me remind that there were only 30 questions, 25 of which were multiple choice. Each question was worth A LOT of points). Lowest in the class? 40/200. My score? 85/200, heh. Well, at least it wasn't the lowest. Ic actually got the lowest, which was the 40/200. I don't blame him, I didn't study either.
I almost forgot to describe my Chinese teacher. Ms.Kang was a real nice, uhh, helpful person when it comes to helping you learn Chinese. I'm not sure if she'll treat me the same next year for Chinese 2 because I'll actually have a bit of experience in Chinese by then. Also there's gonna be another Chinese teacher next year so I might not be able to be in her class (or with Zi, Jc, Cm, or Ic). Anyways, the activities were GENERALLY fun, I mean, it was different, some I liked, some I didn't. And uh, yeah, all in all, not a bad teacher.
I expected the class to go the same as last semester. I didn't take into account that we had 2 hours of free time last semester, but this time we had only about 30 minutes of free time. Since I chose to bring my cards today (in the hopes of using the time to practice Cardistry), Jc wanted to learn how to play the game "Speed", so, we played a couple games, and well, people gathered 'round and we started a big whole game of "BS". I don't even think we played the way we were supposed to play, just, our rendition of it.
Watching people handle your cards though with all the careless bends and stuff was kinda cringy I gotta admit. The bell rang, and whadya know, class, school, was over. I walked out with Zi and Jc and Zi was like "Byee" and "Give me a hug Drew". And Jc too. Yesterday I actually thought to myself "I just need a hug, man". Well, whadya know. It really did assure me that it wasn't all that bad. Not everything's 100%.
I walked around for a bit, hoping that I would come across Yue one last time. Not long after, I'm walking next to the E building and about 10 feet in front of me I see a girl who appears to be filming the school as she's walking, I'm guessing she was a senior.Her friend next to her, just happens to be Yue. It caught me off guard actually, I didn't expect to actually find her, heh. I was like "Yue!" and she was like "Hey!" and "Wanna take a picture?" She has friend take the picture and I get the long awaited picture with Yue. A few months ago she said we should take a picture before she graduates,and well, here it was.
She said "I'll send you the picture. Best of luck to you!" in her recognizable slight accent and I was like "Thanks! You too". And that was the last line uttered by Yue from the series. It was good, it was good. I wish the best of luck to her in college, what she's gonna major in, I don't even know. But damn they eyes, those big eyes.
I proceeded to head to the bookroom near the library to do one last thing- and that was to pay the fine of my lost textbook. And see if anyone had turned it in. Also I checked Schoolloop about a couple days ago and on my page, there's listed 5 lost textbooks, with blank descriptions. I'm like "Yeaahhh, I'ma have to talk to them about this one".
The line was f***ing HUGE. I had to call my mom to let her know "Yeah, I'ma call you back after 2 hours, I gotta wait in a line for my textbook". Also I saw a dude just casually dump his backpack into a trash can. Like, if you stay afterschool for a bit, you can look around and there's just a bunch of papers and filled trashcans. Like in High School Musical 2 where they throw a bunch of papers around. That actually kinda happens.
So I was like "F*** it" and stood in line. A girl in front of me was like "Hi" and I was like "Hi". She was like "What grade are you?" and I was like "I'm a sophomore". They were freshmen and I asked what classes they were gonna take next year. One of them said they were gonna take Honors Pre-Cal next year, so I was thinking like "Hey, maybe that's a hint at a new character in the upcoming series". Anyways, when I was finally got to the front of the line (at about 1:20 PM), I was like "Hi, uhh on schoolloop it said that I have 5 lost textbook fines and they're all blank and I don't recall losing 5 textbooks". The book person checked a bit and said that I was missing a Biology book and a Algebra II/Trig book.
I was like "Umm I shouldn't have a Biology book missing, I turned it in last year" (this was before I came home and my mom told me I still had a Biology book in my room, which surprised me but I realized it was my AP Biology book, not the regular one). So they fondled around a bit, I only had the Algebra II/Trig book to pay, I was like "Can I just pay it now?". And so just shoved my $80 into her face aaand that is how my lost book story ended.
Called my mom to pick me up, drove me to Burger King, got my CAHSEE score in the mail, almost the top 10% in the state, got rewarded with a burger. I was like "That was it. That was the whole series. Felt a lot, lot different from the last one". And it was. I had a lot of fluctuating feelings throughout the entire thing, s*** that I didn't want to feel, and s*** that I never thought I'd be able to feel.
I just wanna thank all my buddies who've stuck with me throughout, along with new ones I've met and made through the series. I'm talking 'bout Zi, Jc, Ic, Cm, Dn, Ec, Et, Ek, Br, Hd, the other Drews, Yue, Yn, and many others. Where would I be without you guys? Probably in the same spot but just lonelier, heh. So many events, experiences that I've been in for the first time, I gotta say, this series proved itself much more than I ever thought it would.
Also new music really helped a lot. I found, many many new songs from artists throughout the series, including, but not limited to: The Strokes, Flying Lotus, JJCC, Kid Cadaver, Disclosure, Flume, EXO, Julian Casablancas, The Knocks, The Kooks, BTOB, Cross Gene, GOT7, San E, Mystery Skulls, Infinite H, SHIMMIXES, Tanuki, Nu'est, and JYJ. Next week on Friday, I got some tutoring at the library, with my buddies this time, a lot of 'em, Also probably some driving tests, lots of sleep, trip to L.A, and maybe a trip to Hawaii.
It's been a great series, not sure if I said that enough times already. This post marks the 481st post I think? That's just 20 away from 500. 500. Now that's something I never would'a thought I would be close to reaching, ever since I started this whole thing. Lots of ups and downs to get this far, and I don't think there's any going back. It started off with Yue, originally in 3rd period, it ended with Yue leaving the series. But hey, there's still more to come right? There's still gonna be 2 more!
I got a hell of a lot of s*** coming for me next me next year, makes for a good series. Let's make it good one, eh? Chances are, it won't be that bad. At least, it won't be a 100% chance of bad. See you tomorrow.

Last night I didn't really study, I wasn't in the mood for it, you know why. I tried studying for a bit, but then it was about 10:30 PM and I just wanted my sleep. I was "Oh my goodness, this is gonna take forever". So, I tried to just get a good night's sleep.
Woke up, didn't really know what to expect today. Came to school, bell rang, I'm like "Hmmm, should I take off my lock from my locker now? Do I have the time?". Then I was like "Nahh" and just went to 5th period. The seating was the same as for any test in the class- random seating according to when we enter through the door. I ended up finding myself sitting behind Cm and right next to (to the left of) Zi, just like on that one test day where she asked me if I wanted to be friends, heh.
I really, really didn't know what to expect for the test. I was just like "Ah f*** it" on the final. The first part consisted of 30 multiple choice questions, no calculators, and that was probably the hardest part of the whole thing. We started at 8:00 AM. I'm on the 5th question and I look at the clock and it's almost 9:30 PM. I'm like "Ah s***, speed up, SPEED UP". So I did. I was on about question 25 when I realized not one person has turned in their first part of the test yet, even when it was 9:00 AM (we had 2 hours so 10:00 AM was the end time). Around this time, the teacher told everyone that we needed to hurry up or else we wouldn't have enough time to finish part 2.
What she didn't tell us was that part 2 was just 15 questions. I hurried to finish up the last 5 questions and got part 2 of the test, Had about 30 minutes left to do the 15 questions of part 2, with calculator allowed for this part of course. I made the most logical guesses I could do. After time was up, we turned in our tests and everybody was like "Yeahhh, that was pretty s****y". I agree. Oh well, at least I had about an 85% grade before this final, and if I get at least a C on this, my grade will probably be around 83% soooo still a B. I'm actually fine with that.
Ms.Tseng (or "The Tsenginator" as some call her) was a very, uh, challenging teacher for me. The beginning of the year, holy hell, I said Math was my most hated class. Then it was P.E. Then it went Math, and then a bit of English, a back and forth between P.E and Math. Anyways, the way she taught was waaaay different than what I had previously experience in other math classes that I've taken. It basically became a "Forget everything about what you previously know about math and learn it my way" kind of thing.
I remembered that it was too late to switch classes so I basically just set a bar for myself, that I would need to try A LOT harder than what I was doing. The Shia Labouf Motivation video would've actually came in handy, heh. I was getting C's, D's, a bit of F's here and there for the first few couple quizzes and tests. It wasn't until I got a good grade on a test that I was like "Hey, this 'work harder' thing is working out". I proceeded to get a C on the next test after that one, but hey, I didn't give up.
I got used to the work, tests, quizzes. Polynomials were my worst nightmare, heh. I was deciding if I wanted to do regular Pre-Calculus next year, 'cause I wasn't sure if I wanted to experience another one of these hell classes. But, Zi was doing Honors, my buddy was doing Honors Pre-cal, so I was like "Ehhhh, f*** it man, f*** it". I blame part of my decision on peer pressure, heh. It's just like how that one guy from my P.E swimming class phrases it: "Do it and you're cool! Do it and you're cool!".
Now that I'm done with the class, I actually wish to be in her class again for Pre-Cal. Why? Because I'm already used to how she teaches, she even said "With what I taught you so far, you should have no problem with Honors Pre-Cal". So, there's that. Ms.Tseng was/is a challenging teacher, but as long as you do it all her way, it sorta becomes easier. Sorta. Anyways, I learned a lot about Algebra II and Trigonometry (more than I would've liked) from her teaching so I'd like to thank her for that.
Off to break, and after that (nothing really happened during break time) off to 6th period Chinese class. Started off with me walking there and seeing Zi and Jc. We proceeded to give ourselves a group hug. That was really comforting, like "Damn, last day, really?". Came inside and began with the test. It was about 30 questions, 25 multiple choice, 5 were "re-arrange the phrases to make a sentence" questions. I, did not study.
As I began the test, I looked at the answer sheet compared to the test. I was like "What the f***, why is it all over the place". It seemed really weird, but everyone else was having no problem filling it out. So, I just went with it. Only until after I turned it in did I realize "Wait, was the title of the answer sheet Chinese 3?" (I'm in Chinese 1 by the way). After a bit, teacher calls my name, tells me that it was the wrong answer sheet, proceeded to ask me to transfer my answers over to a correct one.
Turns out it was the answer sheet for the final for the Chinese 3 class. All the tests and answer sheets were already passed out on our desks when we came in the classroom, so I just used the one that was already on my desk. Transferred the answers, turned it in, everybody was finished, and we went as a class to the G-building book room to turn in our textbooks. I was like "Ahh, just like the beginning of the series".
We came back to our classroom and the teacher let everyone see their scores. Highest in the class? 190/200 (Let me remind that there were only 30 questions, 25 of which were multiple choice. Each question was worth A LOT of points). Lowest in the class? 40/200. My score? 85/200, heh. Well, at least it wasn't the lowest. Ic actually got the lowest, which was the 40/200. I don't blame him, I didn't study either.
I almost forgot to describe my Chinese teacher. Ms.Kang was a real nice, uhh, helpful person when it comes to helping you learn Chinese. I'm not sure if she'll treat me the same next year for Chinese 2 because I'll actually have a bit of experience in Chinese by then. Also there's gonna be another Chinese teacher next year so I might not be able to be in her class (or with Zi, Jc, Cm, or Ic). Anyways, the activities were GENERALLY fun, I mean, it was different, some I liked, some I didn't. And uh, yeah, all in all, not a bad teacher.
I expected the class to go the same as last semester. I didn't take into account that we had 2 hours of free time last semester, but this time we had only about 30 minutes of free time. Since I chose to bring my cards today (in the hopes of using the time to practice Cardistry), Jc wanted to learn how to play the game "Speed", so, we played a couple games, and well, people gathered 'round and we started a big whole game of "BS". I don't even think we played the way we were supposed to play, just, our rendition of it.
Watching people handle your cards though with all the careless bends and stuff was kinda cringy I gotta admit. The bell rang, and whadya know, class, school, was over. I walked out with Zi and Jc and Zi was like "Byee" and "Give me a hug Drew". And Jc too. Yesterday I actually thought to myself "I just need a hug, man". Well, whadya know. It really did assure me that it wasn't all that bad. Not everything's 100%.
I walked around for a bit, hoping that I would come across Yue one last time. Not long after, I'm walking next to the E building and about 10 feet in front of me I see a girl who appears to be filming the school as she's walking, I'm guessing she was a senior.Her friend next to her, just happens to be Yue. It caught me off guard actually, I didn't expect to actually find her, heh. I was like "Yue!" and she was like "Hey!" and "Wanna take a picture?" She has friend take the picture and I get the long awaited picture with Yue. A few months ago she said we should take a picture before she graduates,and well, here it was.
She said "I'll send you the picture. Best of luck to you!" in her recognizable slight accent and I was like "Thanks! You too". And that was the last line uttered by Yue from the series. It was good, it was good. I wish the best of luck to her in college, what she's gonna major in, I don't even know. But damn they eyes, those big eyes.
I proceeded to head to the bookroom near the library to do one last thing- and that was to pay the fine of my lost textbook. And see if anyone had turned it in. Also I checked Schoolloop about a couple days ago and on my page, there's listed 5 lost textbooks, with blank descriptions. I'm like "Yeaahhh, I'ma have to talk to them about this one".
The line was f***ing HUGE. I had to call my mom to let her know "Yeah, I'ma call you back after 2 hours, I gotta wait in a line for my textbook". Also I saw a dude just casually dump his backpack into a trash can. Like, if you stay afterschool for a bit, you can look around and there's just a bunch of papers and filled trashcans. Like in High School Musical 2 where they throw a bunch of papers around. That actually kinda happens.
So I was like "F*** it" and stood in line. A girl in front of me was like "Hi" and I was like "Hi". She was like "What grade are you?" and I was like "I'm a sophomore". They were freshmen and I asked what classes they were gonna take next year. One of them said they were gonna take Honors Pre-Cal next year, so I was thinking like "Hey, maybe that's a hint at a new character in the upcoming series". Anyways, when I was finally got to the front of the line (at about 1:20 PM), I was like "Hi, uhh on schoolloop it said that I have 5 lost textbook fines and they're all blank and I don't recall losing 5 textbooks". The book person checked a bit and said that I was missing a Biology book and a Algebra II/Trig book.
I was like "Umm I shouldn't have a Biology book missing, I turned it in last year" (this was before I came home and my mom told me I still had a Biology book in my room, which surprised me but I realized it was my AP Biology book, not the regular one). So they fondled around a bit, I only had the Algebra II/Trig book to pay, I was like "Can I just pay it now?". And so just shoved my $80 into her face aaand that is how my lost book story ended.
Called my mom to pick me up, drove me to Burger King, got my CAHSEE score in the mail, almost the top 10% in the state, got rewarded with a burger. I was like "That was it. That was the whole series. Felt a lot, lot different from the last one". And it was. I had a lot of fluctuating feelings throughout the entire thing, s*** that I didn't want to feel, and s*** that I never thought I'd be able to feel.
I just wanna thank all my buddies who've stuck with me throughout, along with new ones I've met and made through the series. I'm talking 'bout Zi, Jc, Ic, Cm, Dn, Ec, Et, Ek, Br, Hd, the other Drews, Yue, Yn, and many others. Where would I be without you guys? Probably in the same spot but just lonelier, heh.

Songs to Remember: Out - Mr.Mr, Playboy - EXO, View - SHINee
You know, chocolate sounds really good right now. Maybe I should've just had the box of chocolates to myself and eat em' over night.
I walked to school hoping that this would be the highlight of the finale, where the season gets high ratings, internet goes wild, hashtags, memes, all that kinda stuff. No, It kinda went on a really, really unexpected turn, and now all there's left to wait for, is for the series to end. Really.
Here's what went down (as in, slang for what happened). I come into the classroom, 3rd period, Chemistry. She's at the lab table to the right of the door. Her buddy (in Chemistry) was already sitting across from her at the table, so I chose to sit at the table next to that table. I place my stuff down, my backpack, my bag of swimming of clothes, Yn's gift, and my Chemistry book. The teacher has a couple students pass out the tests, scratch paper, scantron, etc.
I blank out for a moment, "blank out" as in staring at a wall for some reason, then the teacher dude's like "Drew.. Drew.. uhh Drew" and I snapped out of mindless state. I'm like "Yes?" and he's like "Do you mind moving to this seat over here? Chr's having a hard time sitting in the back" and I'm like "Oh yeah, sure". So I move all my stuff over to that seat (which was located like, right in front of the classroom, just straight up down in front). I start the test, it was generally easy. It didn't have as much math as I thought, barely any actually.
I expect to get about a 90% on it, since it's 100 questions, 1 point each. No, not a 100%, heh, I never get a 100%. I turn in my test, notes sheet, etc. I head out the classroom to turn in my Chem book. Come back, fill out the teacher's survey on how well he taught this year. I also sign his (what he calls) "Ghetto" yearbook, which was just several neon green papers stapled together. I wrote a bootleg Chemistry joke, thanked him for teaching me, signed my name. He still hasn't given me my extra credit for sucking on that bar soap. I just wanna say thanks to Mr.Seals (his real name) for making Chemistry interesting. He actually helped his students individually, he asked them each individually if they needed help. No other teacher I've had has ever done that, as far as I can remember.
Class dismissed, break time, Yn leaves, I'm like "F***" and I go out to catch up to her. She's with her friend again, the one I talked about in an earlier post, I was like "F*** it", tapped her on the shoulder, I'm like "[inaudible noise] This is for you, happy birthday". And she didn't, even, say, bye.
After the break, it was time to go to 4th period, P.E. I get a picture of her with all the gifts out, like a POV shot of it all, and lots of messages saying "Thank you so much". Some that stick out to me in particular were "I didn't expect I got this freaking heavy bday gift from you lol", "dude I share w my friend, They all love it :)), Thanks again dude :)". This was when she as at her next class, and she doesn't have a final exam for that, just a party.
I walk to the swimming locker rooms like "Can it be over? Like, now?". We basically had free time today. We were allowed to jump off the diving board as long as we had passed the treading test. Woo! First time ever jumping off a diving board. It wasn't very Hugh as you'd expect like the ones in the movies. It was about, eh 5 feet above the surface of the water. About. I did a couple cannonballs, a lot of dives. After that I just waddled in the water for a while. I mean, we did have 2 hours. What am I supposed to do for 2 hours?
When it was about 20 minutes left, the teacher brang out bagels for everybody (including the cream cheese). Also, tangerines. We ate, enjoyed the time, and went back to change. We also received our semester grade. For me? A-. I think the teacher was bit generous on that one, heh. Her name is Ms.Wyness (hopefully that's the correct spelling) and I think she did a nice job on teaching swimming. Other classes just had free time really, while we actually learned a bit. That was cool, so, thanks Ms.Wyness. Also, thank based god that I never have to do P.E ever again! WOO!
Also that dude who I said reminded me of TheOddOne from TSM, wanted to be filmed beating a dude down while his arms were pool noodles. He filmed it once with another guy, and asked me to help him. Help him, as in, be the one being beaten down. After that whole thing (well it took about 2 minutes) he said "I can't wait to show Ms.Schwartz this". Yeah, he was a teacher assistant for her 2nd period, my class.
I probably should've just hung onto the chocolates. *sigh* I guess the series really does live up to it's title. When I think s***'s gonna be 100% according to thought, it actually becomes a 100% chance of bad. Or maybe this is all just me over-thinking again.
Whatever it is, it's just all bad, bad in general. How many times do I have to tell myself this? Alright so, did I leave anything out of this? No? Good. Just gonna have to wait for the chance. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Temperature Difference (Love By U) - Moon Shine, Fun Boys - BTS, View - SHINee
I'm actually in 2nd period right now. So far there is no food, but there is a bit of relaxation, conversations, and a pictures.
There's still about an hour and 10 minutes left, so, might as well do the post while I'm in the middle of the whole thing. First period, World History, ended off pretty well. The test itself was pretty easy, the questions started off being exactly as the "review" questions from yesterday. I ended up using only about 1/3 of my notes sheet on the test. We went to the book room to turn in our books, friendly convos, aaand yeah.
We took a class picture, a picture with the teacher and Dn, just a friendly atmosphere in general. Real awesome, and, couldn't have ended in a better way, really. Ms.Belloti's been a fun teacher, one of the chillest teachers I've ever had. I hope that I get her again next year for U.S History.
Right now, I'm in English and I'm watching this dude Jay play League. On his laptop which he brang (bring?) in. We turned in our vocabulary books back to the English book room, now I'm seeing people play cards (in which I question myself as to why I didn't think of bringing my own cards in to practice. I mean, it is 2 hours), people using bubble guns to make giant bubbles, and a guy playing League with 4 of us watching him. He's also 1v1'ing a teacher by the way. Yeah, finals.
There's about 45 of class left. Thank goodness I packed a a small bag of Doritos. The teacher, Ms.Schwartz, great teacher, said a closing statement (closing statement?)-err, more like a thanks, for us being such a fun class and the last one she taught in this classroom. She's being moves to the portables-side of the school, where most of the language classes are, which means she'll be like the only English teacher there. She's taught in this classroom for about 13 years. Pretty long time. She's done a lot to help her students on essays and such, so I wanna thank her for that. I wanna thank her for going so in-depth into a book. Never in my life would I ever think there would be a need for that, but uh, I was wrong.
And uh yeah, the teacher asked the people to clean up the bubble mess now. Others, are studying. I really, really regret not bringing my cards. Oh yeah, we also took a class picture too. Two actually. So far this time's been very relaxing, I really needed this. On s***, just remembered that Yue has Chemistry right now. Also, happy birthday Yn! Woo! Yeah I'm really just, thinking of random stuff right now.
Most likely gonna just relax tonight/today. Tomorrow I have Chemistry and P.E, and I already have all I need on my notes sheet. So, just, I don't know, maybe read the math book a bit. Probably league too. Ummm it was like 11:40 AM or something, now it's about 11:55 AM. Still, just watching this dude play League. Nothing really much else to do. I'll update this when I got something to write again (this is like a live post, heh).
Alright, I'm in the car right now. 12:33 PM. After I came out if 2nd period, I went and waited Yue to see if she left yet. Nope. I'm like "Hey" and she's like "Hey". We had a nice convo about classes, mostly the Chemistry final that she just took. For the first time since 1st semester, I haven't been able to clearly hear her voice. It's been such a while that I don't even it sounds real different to me.
Hey, it's 9:37 PM now. I had such a long nap today, considering that we got out at 12:20 PM today (and for tomorrow, and Thursday). Here are the pictures to show what I actually saw. Anyways, see you tomorrow for the 2nd part of the finale.

We took a class picture, a picture with the teacher and Dn, just a friendly atmosphere in general. Real awesome, and, couldn't have ended in a better way, really. Ms.Belloti's been a fun teacher, one of the chillest teachers I've ever had. I hope that I get her again next year for U.S History.
Right now, I'm in English and I'm watching this dude Jay play League. On his laptop which he brang (bring?) in. We turned in our vocabulary books back to the English book room, now I'm seeing people play cards (in which I question myself as to why I didn't think of bringing my own cards in to practice. I mean, it is 2 hours), people using bubble guns to make giant bubbles, and a guy playing League with 4 of us watching him. He's also 1v1'ing a teacher by the way. Yeah, finals.
There's about 45 of class left. Thank goodness I packed a a small bag of Doritos. The teacher, Ms.Schwartz, great teacher, said a closing statement (closing statement?)-err, more like a thanks, for us being such a fun class and the last one she taught in this classroom. She's being moves to the portables-side of the school, where most of the language classes are, which means she'll be like the only English teacher there. She's taught in this classroom for about 13 years. Pretty long time. She's done a lot to help her students on essays and such, so I wanna thank her for that. I wanna thank her for going so in-depth into a book. Never in my life would I ever think there would be a need for that, but uh, I was wrong.
And uh yeah, the teacher asked the people to clean up the bubble mess now. Others, are studying. I really, really regret not bringing my cards. Oh yeah, we also took a class picture too. Two actually. So far this time's been very relaxing, I really needed this. On s***, just remembered that Yue has Chemistry right now. Also, happy birthday Yn! Woo! Yeah I'm really just, thinking of random stuff right now.
Most likely gonna just relax tonight/today. Tomorrow I have Chemistry and P.E, and I already have all I need on my notes sheet. So, just, I don't know, maybe read the math book a bit. Probably league too. Ummm it was like 11:40 AM or something, now it's about 11:55 AM. Still, just watching this dude play League. Nothing really much else to do. I'll update this when I got something to write again (this is like a live post, heh).
Alright, I'm in the car right now. 12:33 PM. After I came out if 2nd period, I went and waited Yue to see if she left yet. Nope. I'm like "Hey" and she's like "Hey". We had a nice convo about classes, mostly the Chemistry final that she just took. For the first time since 1st semester, I haven't been able to clearly hear her voice. It's been such a while that I don't even it sounds real different to me.
Hey, it's 9:37 PM now. I had such a long nap today, considering that we got out at 12:20 PM today (and for tomorrow, and Thursday). Here are the pictures to show what I actually saw. Anyways, see you tomorrow for the 2nd part of the finale.
Blurred out the visible faces in case people are scared of cameras.

Monday, June 1, 2015
Week: 42
Songs to Remember: Fun Boys - BTS, View - SHINee, Driving - A.cian
Fun fact (well, in my opinion), Zi isn't actually American, she was born in Asia. I, never knew that. I just assumed, heh. The more you know.
Ah yes. Season 42 (I was about to say week, even though I do list it as "week"), the last season for 100% Chance of Bad. It's gonna be a hot one alright, and I'm not just talking about the finale. I mean it's goddamn 68 degrees right now, and it's 11:30 PM.
Alrighty, let's get to it. World History, is really really like, dragging down my soul in a sense. Today we did a bootleg review game where we gotta get in our groups and the teacher's gonna announce some questions. We have one person from each group write up an answer on the board and we get imaginary points for that. A few people weren't cooperating some the teacher threatened to cancel the game and have everybody just study silently. I'm just like "Uhh, please?" Like, at this pace, I don't get much review than if I actually did it myself. Like, I don't wanna sound mean, uhh, I guess I was just tired in the morning and- yeah I was tired. Because finals are tomorrow and the next couple days, I didn't want to actually do work, I just wanna study at my own pace.
Oh yeah, fun fact: it's the teacher's birthday tomorrow. She's turning 27 which is, ehhh. We had a little birthday card being passed around class today and each secretly signed it. Tomorrow I'm having the World History final. I actually got the notes sheet done today, most of the terms are just common sense really, but you can never be too sure. I'm taking a guess and say I'll get a 90%. At least. And one funny quote, which I haven't actually told many quotes lately like I used to, was his this one girl was like "This finals thing is messing me up, look, I bought like 50 Hi-Chews" (a type of Japanese candy). Then the teacher was like "Well, we all make decisions in life". Cracked me up.
Next is English. I got an English final after my World History final, which is tomorrow... HA! Got 'em! Just kidding, heh, I already took it dreadfully last week, over the course of, each day. Today we actually did nothing. Like, literally, we just AAT there with our phones, went around and talk, and uh, oh- fun fact: it's Am's birthday today! Happy birthday Am. See? It's fun right? There's like 10 birthdays this week. Rough estimate by the way. Tomorrow we're probably gonna, I don't know, do nothing again, umm- oh s***. Just realized it's gonna be a 2-hour period tomorrow. Huh. Maybe we'll be watching a movie or something. Hopefully there will be food.
Another fun fact: I completely forgot about that vocabulary book we had back in 1st semester for English. It was lying under my pile of, uh, whatever, on my couch/desk. Completely forgot about it, only until today did I get reminded of it. Hoo. Thank goodness the teacher held off that book for this semester. If we did have to do write and answer questions and sentences from that, I think I would've lost even more sleep, heh. No thank you.
After that we had break, which I just go to my usual spot with my buddies and I just read Reddit articles on my phone. Nothing uh, really special, except that I can see Yn walking by herself after getting brunch. I really find it weird how I can spot people that easily. Very, very weird. And scary. I think it's a videogame thing. Anyways, Chemistry, one of the main classes for this week. The teacher asked us each, one by one, if we had any questions regarding the optional review packet he gave us last week. I didn't do it though, I spent the time making my notes sheet than doing the unnecessary work. Very good method for getting people to ask questions, and for including everyone. He literally asks each person individually "You for a question?". He did twice.
I noticed that Yn had a very interesting looking box (looked a lot like a shoebox) and I was like "Hmmm, is that a birthday gift?". Turns out, it was. It was a pair of white converses (is that the right term? I don't really know my shoes) which was drawn AMAZINGLY of landmarks, like the Golden Gate Bridge. I was like "Damn! My gift doesn't even compare to that. Damn, hey, where do people even get ideas like this? That's actually a pretty cool idea". Oh yeah, fun fact: Yn's birthday is tomorrow. I messaged her a "Happy early birthday" and she was like, and I quote, "Sounds like im a celebrity or sth lol=)", in which I reply "you're always a celebrity, everybody knows who Yn is" and she's like "Lol that sounds weird, but since its a compliment then I trust you:))". Hey!
I can't believe that it has been 6 weeks of swimming. Thank, the, lord. I hate P.E, heh, and I don't wanna get any darker, being in the sun all the time. Especially because our school is outdoors and open, instead of being indoors. Anyways, we had our treading and diving test today. The teacher us do the treading test, in which we had to, well, "tread" (float basically) for 2 minutes straight. Legs get tired real quickly. But, I managed. After, we did the diving test which was, well, diving. We get one dive, and uh, yeah. I think I passes. While practicing, I think I must've done like 5 dives and so it got kinda disorienting. 'Cause you know, water pressure, water, just, water in general.
We also had a floating test for some reason. We got to choose to either do a back float, or front float (you know, like a dead body). I was leaning towards front float because it's pretty easy acting dead, and I've also watched a lot of horror movies involving dead bodies floating in water, so I thought it's be pretty easy. But then I thought about how I gotta keep my arms and legs up and stuff, so I was like "Nahhh" and went with the back float. I floated for a bit, about 4 seconds, then I was slowly sinking and the teacher's like "You're sinking". She told to me to work on it a bit and I was like "Aight". I mean, if you wait, of course I'ma sink. Also, fun fact: final exams are 2 hours per class (so basically 8:00 AM normal school start time, then 12:20 PM out of school time). That means I'm going to have to spend 2 HOURS swimming. Oh my lord. I didn't even realize it until today.
Lunch was the usual. I just, ate my lunch, with my buddies, and uh, yeah. Nothing real special. Oh wait, there was like a dance battle at the side of the theater. Well, more like a "Show off your moves" type of thing. They, basically just played music and people started dancing and a crowd formed. Eh. I'd much prefer a fight. I don't think there's been a real major fight this semester. Shame. Always one major fight per semester, that's how it's gotta be. Even when there is no fight and just a crowd, I yell "Fight! Fight! Fight!". Slash sarcasm of course.
God, I could already feel the allergies coming in again. I asked my buddy, Ek, about the free-response test we're supposed to have today for math and she said it was easy. I was like "Ah s***, that means I'm gonna fail it". Then she was like "It was only 6 questions" and I was like "That's even worse. Only 6 questions. Less questions, means harder questions!". And then she was like "Don't worry, Mr.Liao made the test" and I was like "...OH THANK YOU BUDDHA. PRAISE BASED LIAO". Mr.Liao was actually my Geometry teacher last year. I hoped to get into his class for Algebra II/Trig, I got the teacher I got now. After finding out that he was the one who made the test, I was like "Aight, that's it, I'm all set". I go in, teacher passes out the tests, all ready, and there's a story to read.
It starts out with like a boy, named Bob, who is trying to achieve a girlfriend. He wants to show off his physique and muscular body, so he runs track. And, if girls were to find him creepy, he could just run away with his new running skills. I was like "Man, this is some OG Liao math story s*** right here". Everybody laughed like 15 seconds into the test. The teacher's like "Huh? What's so funn?" in a sarcastic sort of manner. The story definitely lightened the mood, made there be less pressure too. And that's why I like him as a teacher, because no other teacher does that. I mean, what teacher can you say that has written a math story regarding a dude who wants to get a girlfriend with bootleg methods? Yeah, not that many.
The test was surprisingly easy. The first 3 questions dealt with standard deviation and proportions, good thing I studied last night and looked back in my notes for that stuff. The next 3 questions dealt with having to do a scatter plot on a calculator. That was fairly easy as well. 'Course, whenever I say a test is easy, I end up with a s*** score. I actually had spare time, about 10 minutes. I went back over each question, did the calculations, they all seemed correct. We'll just have to see.
Chinese was different today actually. Involved more of group bonding. Well, at least with Ic, Zi, Jc, and I. We were given vocabulary words, had to write out questions on a piece of paper, and then after that, moved one table over. We then had to answer (verbally within our group) the next group's questions that they wrote. Had a lot of fun with that, especially when mistaking the word "yue", which means "day" for "half a peng", which, is what the word looked like to me at first before I realized my mistake, heh. Oh yeah, there was survey that we had all did last week on how well our classmates did on their online portfolio. We had to nominate people and the ones who were nominated, got to go up and pick a prize, ranging from plastic license plates, pencils, paper, or an Iron Man poster. Sponsor ad of course. And I'm not taking 'bout like Avengers, I'm talking 'bout Iron Man, the first movie, the one that premiered May 2nd years ago.
I now just realized that today marked the last time that Zi and I will walk and talk from 5th period to 6th period, possibly the last time that I'll see Yue (don't know about tomorrow). Well, actually no,l because Thursday, I walk my route and Yue walks her route and we end mouthing "Bye" as we walk by.
What post are we on? About 470 or so, so far. Or more than that. But damn, that's one and a half series right there (So Don't Be On With Here was sorta like half). And man, is it f***ing late now, 12:35 AM. Yue just messaged me right now as I typed that. She actually wished me good luck on my test. That's actually pretty nice.
Ya know I've wondered how this all would've gone if Yue stayed in my 3rd period Chemistry class. Probably s*** would've been much, much, much, different. A lot. And s***, I forgot to show pictures of the card. Ah well, tomorrow it is. See, you, tomorrow.
