Week: 3
Songs to Remember: same as last time
Almost slipped my mind. Making a post that is. I wanna go to sleep right now so I'll keep it brief.
Well even I'm at home, there's still a lot of shit happening recently mostly, online stuff. Umm, first of all, Yn's been talking to me again. Texts of course, but that's still good, gotta give the fans what they want. And umm, she's been asking me who my crush is, and I'm just like *sigh*, "That feel when your crush asks who you like". Pretty bootleg isn't it?
Also, a new guy has joined our Skype group chat. He's a friend of Ec's, and sure knows a lot of people. And clothes. And uses the word "cop" a lot. Umm, some Curse Voice calls today, my buddies Mc and Ec are trying to hook me up with that one girl who was in Chinese 2 class. Hopefully she moves back in, then it'll make it a bit easier. 'Course I can always say hi to her when I see her around, but, ehhh.
Also a bit of scares. One of which, since my buddies were trying to hook me up with her (By that I mean mention me when talking to her on Facebook), I was anticipating a message from her. Or something. Well, you know that one girl in my math class, the one who hated me since 6th grade, her BF's that one dude who caused me a bit of trouble in 7th grade? Yeah, she has the same name as the girl I'm digging, the one from my Chinese class. Let's just call her (the one from my Chinese class) Lc.
It popped up on my Facebook tab "Lc has messaged you on Fb". I was like "Oh shiiiiiit". I wasn't prepared for that. I looked at the notification on my phone, turns out, it was actually the Lc from my math clasa instead. I was like "Oh. Shit. Almost had a heart attack", heh. She was like "HEY DREW" (in all caps), "What was the hw?". She sure knows how to get my attention. Anyways, that one dude that my buddies and I trolled is trying to at Lc. He's making an excuse to meet her by offering her all his past Honors Chemistry notes.
Then he'll try to strike shit up, not going to lie her, but my buddy (one of 'em) sent her an a link anonymously to her ask.fm of the chatlogs of the dude. Like, the rated R stuff, in hopes that it'll deter her away from this dude. This is for her own good really, don't wanna her to be in the same situation as what would've been, had the person my buddies and I were posing, real. Definitely don't want this guy long-boarding to her house, heh.
And so, my buddies and I just messed around a lot on Skype, Curse Voice, etc. Cannot wait for next week, that's definitely gonna be packed with tons of events. Well shit, yeah. This season's gonna be packed with shit, this school week is CLOG rush, aka, Clubs and Organization week, where all the clubs are out in front of the theater and people can sign up and shit. Well. Huh. Season 4's gonna bring it up a notch. I'll see ya.

Went to a buffet, finished Biology work, still got a fair bit left. Umm, and yeah. So uh, it's 12:32 AM right now, and so, see ya. Just wanna sleep right now/

That feel when it's so hot that the wind blows hot air at you. I checked the temperature periodically today. It was 89 degrees at around 2:00 PM. You could seriously feel your skin burning.
Well, the poster worked out. We basically just moved around in a bootleg way in the classroom to share our posters. Pretty, pretty boring. Oh yeah, the teacher then tells us that we have to pick 3 scientists (preferably the ones we researched) from 3 different psychology perspectives, and talk about what they did as our free-response question for the test on Thursday (was moved from Tuesday). I'm like "Oh. Thst's great".
English, man the teacher is seriously trying to force a lot of stuff down our throats. I get that it's Honors English but still, give us a bit of a break. We already gotta do some vocabulary stuff, study the vocabulary for the quizzes, keep studying them daily for the SAT, review on how to write proper summaries, make a presentation online (which I would be comfortable with, if it weren't for all this extra stuff), create an outline for a speech, which we will be doing on Tuesday. If I ever drown in work, I'll let ya know, heh.
Biology is kinda iffy right now. It's really just, self-study at this point. We had a sub today, we basically worked by ourselves for the whole period. Our teacher has only started teaching AP Biology this year, so it's kinda bad for the AP Exam, kinda good on grades, heh. She gives us material she doesn't teach in class and tries to stuff that into online videos by BozemanScience. It's more of just general info, the work she gives us involves the details. So anyways, we just worked individually today.
Math. We reviewed stuff in groups. Also, there's only like 25 students in the class now. A lot of people switched out. Ah, normies, get OUT! I'm just kidding, heh. Our group was the dude who riffle-shuffles (who doesn't do it anymore I guess), this one girl whom was in my 6th grade class, you know, the one in the unbelievable relationship? And this one dude who was in my math class last year. Also the one who was posing as a girl on my Ask.Fm (which I have to admit, I did fall for it okay). Me and him are cool, he asks me for advice since he's a Sophomore.
The girl actually just let go of everything, didn't care who I was or the past, just moved on. I was like "Hey, now that's the style I like". Why can't more people be like that? Flashback to 6th grade when I was sitting on the bench and she was the only one there, I didn't know anybody, I didn't know how to play "wall-ball". Those were simpler times.
Lunch time, now that's when shit gets social. Got so social I forgot to eat lunch, heh. The cast, me, Ag, Ek, Jv, Ek, and Jk, we met up with some other people, including one who was with us during tutoring at the library. Her name's Ji. We'll just call her that. And uh, one other girl. I was like "Dear lord why is there so many people". I also got the dating thing confirmed basically. Ag and Jv told Ji that they were dating. I quote, "We're dating". Just simple as that. I was like "Uh, huh". We'll there you have it.
We went to the library, apparently it was the meeting to learn more about becoming a Link-Leader. It's basically for upperclassmen or something, you guide people if they need help getting to their classes. And just, generally be helpful. I was like "Oh, that's cool". Not sure if everybody's signed up for it in our crew, but uh, yeah. Mostly it was Ji's idea.
And uh, yeah. It was pretty hot today. Good thing US History is pretty cool. Didn't intend it to be a pun, I literally meant like, the room's air-conditioned. Anyways, we watch a 30-minute clip from a movie about slave trade, I forgot the name. It had Morgan Freeman in it, and uh, yeah.
Chinese was still kinda ehhh. People went up in groups of 4 to read from the book. That was it, heh. After coming outside, you could feel the hot air. Pretty, pretty hot. And yeah. I have A LOT of work this weekend. I do a majority of work over the weekend, about 80% of it all. It's a lot, and requires stuff like, my PC. So anyways, it's 12:43 AM, Ec and I just lost 3 games in a row on League. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Rilla Go - DGNA
Well whadya know, Ag did hang out with us today. So I probably was overthinking it, heh. But anyways, what's really going down is that it's 11:56 PM right now.
I spent literally the whole day working on the poster for Psychology. Lots, and lots, of printing, Lots, and lots, of cutting. Lots, and lots, of planning. Overall I did manage to do it in one day. Would I recommend doing a poster the day before it's due? Nah. Nah.
I'll go by through this really quick 'cause I wanna go to sleep. Psychology, class notes in class, basically free study time. English, we didn't really get to do anything but take pictures of our posters so we can work on them over the weekend to make a bootleg presentation. The teacher probably knew that most of the class is computer illiterate because he had to explain what a PNG file was. "If you want a picture with no square edges, use a PNG file, you search for them on Google".
And that's what I wanna state. When it comes to customizing, making things my own, computer design, web design, graphic design, I rule that, heh. I love graphic design, and when it comes to stuff like this, a presentation that's supposed to look pretty (for the most part)? I'm gonna go full-out on that. Oh and uh, I found it pretty funny how people still don't know basic computer functions even though it is the 21st century, I mean, come on. *sigh* I guess that's what tablets are for, right?
Just joking by the way. Anyways, for English, we had to go to the Junior orientation in the theater. Every English 3 class is having orientation today (or Honors English). For Juniors really. I purposely walked over there in front of this one girl so that we'd end up sitting next to each other. Yes, yes, I know. But, she's not much of talker. As in, she didn't say anything at all. Still, the only thing she's said to me was like, stuff on the Joy Luck Club. And that was during the 1st day of school, heh.
The orientation was the same thing, yadda yadda, the assistant principal dude made some bootleg-ass jokes. One of which, when nobody was asking them questions, he was like "Yes, I am Libra". I was like "Fucking signs man", heh. After that, it was break, then Biology. We did our own labs for testing pectinase and apple sauce. Our group (me, Bl, and a couple other dudes I know) didn't really wrote down a procedure, so we just made it up on the spot. I liked the flow of it all actually. We got to come up with our own, work at our own pace, it was nice.
And then it was math. Another day, another lesson. Moving on. Lunch. This time Ag and Ek were waiting for me at the front of the L building. We got lunch, met up with Jv and Jk on the way, went to our usual spot, and then cut. As in, exit scene. That was, that was it. Oh yeah, I also saw Em today. Really fun hug. That was, it, heh. I think my laziness is getting in the way of shit like, I don't know, meeting up with people that are friends, heh.
Then came SSR, US History. We learned about the Federalists, Anti-Federalists, I actually still have my Federalists/Anti-Federalists cards I had to make back in 8th grade. Man was I good, heh. Anyways, Chinese, I kinda don't like it right now. That is, until we move seats, and then maybe I'll be happy. Right now, I'm moving back to "sucky". And yeah.
The poster took me all this time. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Thank the lord that I don't have to make the presentation today for English, otherwise I would've been done for. Soo, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Unravel (dj-Jo remix) - TK
It's been a while since the last time I cried. It's been so long that I actually don't remember it. I guess the writers decided it'd be a good time now.
Psychology, was just worksheets. The teacher's not gonna be back 'till Friday so we're just getting free study time in class basically, which I'm content with. English, there was some really interesting stuff. We discussed how to make an introduction to a presentation and all that. The teacher also told us a story of back when he was in college. It was his first year, and he was so excited and thrilled. The professor asked this question about an article or something, and our teacher raised his hand way up high, was called on, he was so excited.
He stood up and answered "Well I feel that blah blah blah, etc, etc". Most imporant part is when he said "I feel that". The professor always played around with keys during lectures, pacing back and forth, jumbling his keys. This time, he threw 'em onto the ground and was just straight up like (quoted), "I don't give a fuck what you feel!" and he further explained about how it doesn't matter how you feel, it's about the text, etc. My teacher was super embarrassed, did not raise his hand for anything until 6 months later. Ho, ly, shit.
Pretty crazy. And uhh, yeah. After that story we played a bootleg game called "Space Race", it's this game on Socrative, we got into groups and answered questions on our phones, dealing with the vocabulary, the first group that gets the most correct gets participation points. What made this so bootleg was that the teacher played some bootleg music (not really any discernible lyrics) as well as flicker the lights while we were doing it. Pretty bootleg.
Anyways, today's Wednesday so there was no break. Bio, we had a quiz on enzymes. Turns out, it was only 5 multiple choice questions. Easy right? Nah, heh. There were words on there that I did not expect. Ending up getting a 2/5, would've been a 3/5 had I not changed one of my answers. Ah, that feeling. So uh, we got into groups, planned out what we're gonna do for the lab tomorrow, and, that was it.
Math. We got our tests back. I didn't expect to do well, but I didn't expect to do really bad either. I did pretty bad, heh. It was a 44/70. Yep, my buddy was right, heh, everyone did fail the first quiz. Well, nobody got an A+ at least. The class average was 70%, along with the teacher's other Honors Pre-Cal classes. God, damn. I blame my stupid mistakes, I maybe would've gotten a C- or something.
It was lunch. And uh, I expected a continuation of yesterday. Hmmm, no, it wasn't really. Ag left to do something else, or something. So it was just me, Jk, Ek, and Jv at the lockers. If Ag's gonna do this everyday or not, I don't know. I'm hoping she doesn't, but on the otherhand... eh. I could be overthinking it again, I don't wanna believe it, I'll just let it roll.
So, US History. No notes today actually. Just, going over the crossword puzzle we received about a week ago. Then, explaining how we got an assignment, we gotta draw political comics based on events like the Enlightenment, etc. By political comics he means pretty much any kind of drawing, stick figures included.This is just the beginning of what will be, work hell. Well part of it.
Chinese class was where the writers wanted to put some more focus today. We had our first vocabulary quiz, it's literally just 10 phrases, we gotta write the English translations of them. I already know the format, I was kinda ready. Took the test, knew I got a 16/20, basically 8/10 right. The teacher had us grade each other's papers. I had to grade this one dude who sat all the way in the back of my row. He was in my Chinese class last year, I knew him, he played Hearthstone.
The way we corrected these quizzes last year, were that each vocabulary was worth 2 points each. Since there were 10, it was 20 points in total. Last year, if we only got half the phrase right, we took 1 point off, instead of 2. So, that was what I did. They teacher did not state that during class. When we were finished correcting, we passed the tests back up to the front. Apparently the teacher happened to see mine at the top of the stack, because what she did next is most likely going to cause some of my stress and depression later on.
She placed her hands on my desk, got up close to me, gave me one of the most coldest stares in my life, and at that point, I didn't know what was wrong. I was sorta in panic mode, I thought she found out that Jk copied some of my sentences from last night's work because I let him copy of some of during lunch time. I was worried about that. So I was there, looking at her, scared, didn't know what to do, I was like a deer in front of headlights. She then says "Do you want me to take off your points?".
She then pointed to the quiz I graded, showing a score of 19/20. She then explains "No half off!" and scribbles over the score I wrote and put 18/20. "Oh, I thought that since it was half right, I only take off one point". "If it's wrong, it's wrong!". "If you do this again, I'll make sure to take points away from yours". I wanted to just run out the classroom, board a bus to San Francisco, and jump off the golden gate bridge. Only because that's the only suicide spot I know right now.
Everyone in my vicinity just looked at me. The teacher went back to her happy-go-lucky mood to the rest of the class and everyone else. It reminded me of the article we read in English class a few days ago, about Asians and their strict parenting. It also kinda reminded me of my own mom, scolding me as a kid when I did my homework wrong, or misspelling a word during our spelling bee practice.
The teacher's voice was like a hushed yelling. Enough for only me to hear it as yelling, quiet enough so that not too many people would pay attention to the talk. I wanted to cry. But I held it off 'till I got home. During the rest of class, I just sat there, looking at the book, waiting for the bell to ring so I can get the fuck outta there. It was bad enough she did that in front of all the people around me, me being a Junior and to set the bar for all the Sophomores, but she continued on with it, by calling me to answer a question from the book. Out of the 35 kids in class, she 3 students, one of 'em being me.
I am never going to forgive her for this. I can see now why people don't like her. You haven't truly feel her bias until something like this occurs to you. I'm not even, I'm not even fucking good in Chinese, this is literally the 3rd week of Chinese 2. Never learned any Chinese in my life 'till this past year. And now I do wish that she had retired. Would've been a much more different experience with a new teacher.
So anyways, I was expecting today's post to be about something I'm great at, something I'm passionate about. Looks like that'll have to wait. *sigh*, anyways, I got a poster due on Friday, a presentation due on Friday, work, work, and work all due tomorrow and Friday. Thank goodness the week's almost over. Still can't find many new songs. And so, see ya.

Then, explaining how we got an assignment, we gotta draw political comics based on events like the Enlightenment, etc. By political comics he means pretty much any kind of drawing, stick figures included.This is just the beginning of what will be, work hell. Well part of it.
Chinese class was where the writers wanted to put some more focus today. We had our first vocabulary quiz, it's literally just 10 phrases, we gotta write the English translations of them. I already know the format, I was kinda ready. Took the test, knew I got a 16/20, basically 8/10 right. The teacher had us grade each other's papers. I had to grade this one dude who sat all the way in the back of my row. He was in my Chinese class last year, I knew him, he played Hearthstone.
The way we corrected these quizzes last year, were that each vocabulary was worth 2 points each. Since there were 10, it was 20 points in total. Last year, if we only got half the phrase right, we took 1 point off, instead of 2. So, that was what I did. They teacher did not state that during class. When we were finished correcting, we passed the tests back up to the front. Apparently the teacher happened to see mine at the top of the stack, because what she did next is most likely going to cause some of my stress and depression later on.
She placed her hands on my desk, got up close to me, gave me one of the most coldest stares in my life, and at that point, I didn't know what was wrong. I was sorta in panic mode, I thought she found out that Jk copied some of my sentences from last night's work because I let him copy of some of during lunch time. I was worried about that. So I was there, looking at her, scared, didn't know what to do, I was like a deer in front of headlights. She then says "Do you want me to take off your points?".
She then pointed to the quiz I graded, showing a score of 19/20. She then explains "No half off!" and scribbles over the score I wrote and put 18/20. "Oh, I thought that since it was half right, I only take off one point". "If it's wrong, it's wrong!". "If you do this again, I'll make sure to take points away from yours". I wanted to just run out the classroom, board a bus to San Francisco, and jump off the golden gate bridge. Only because that's the only suicide spot I know right now.
Everyone in my vicinity just looked at me. The teacher went back to her happy-go-lucky mood to the rest of the class and everyone else. It reminded me of the article we read in English class a few days ago, about Asians and their strict parenting. It also kinda reminded me of my own mom, scolding me as a kid when I did my homework wrong, or misspelling a word during our spelling bee practice.
The teacher's voice was like a hushed yelling. Enough for only me to hear it as yelling, quiet enough so that not too many people would pay attention to the talk. I wanted to cry. But I held it off 'till I got home. During the rest of class, I just sat there, looking at the book, waiting for the bell to ring so I can get the fuck outta there. It was bad enough she did that in front of all the people around me, me being a Junior and to set the bar for all the Sophomores, but she continued on with it, by calling me to answer a question from the book. Out of the 35 kids in class, she 3 students, one of 'em being me.
I am never going to forgive her for this. I can see now why people don't like her. You haven't truly feel her bias until something like this occurs to you. I'm not even, I'm not even fucking good in Chinese, this is literally the 3rd week of Chinese 2. Never learned any Chinese in my life 'till this past year. And now I do wish that she had retired. Would've been a much more different experience with a new teacher.
So anyways, I was expecting today's post to be about something I'm great at, something I'm passionate about. Looks like that'll have to wait. *sigh*, anyways, I got a poster due on Friday, a presentation due on Friday, work, work, and work all due tomorrow and Friday. Thank goodness the week's almost over. Still can't find many new songs. And so, see ya.

Tuesday, August 25, 2015 "So It's the 3rd Week."
Tuesday, August 25, 2015
Week: 3
Songs to Remember: Unravel - TK, Tried to Walk - B1A4
I would say that it's only the 3rd week, but then I'd just use that excuse for every week. So, I'll just accept all these plot twists and such now.
I just finished my 1 hour nap from 4:00 to 5:00 PM by the way. Alright, uhhh, Psychology. The teacher wasn't here, she's got some family stuff to deal with, she said she usually isn't absent this much. So we had a sub, aaand we watched a video, continuing from yesterday, on Pyschology stuff. It's like an old, old, video from the 90's. She'll be out tomorrow too so we'll probably just have another video or something, maybe get to work on notes in class.
On my way to English, I encountered Yn. She decided to go this way again, for some reason. I waved, she waved, this ain't gonna be the last time I see her today actually.
English. Still getting on my nerves a bit. We read an article which had to do with Asian parenting and cultural differences. Mostly it's just a bit of this, a bit of that, a bit of "Turn to your elbow partner and discuss blah blah". Fortunately, we read the article out loud in class, doing a sort of "popcorn" reading. You know, when someone reads a paragraph or two, then another person jumps in to read the next couple, etc. I did read it once, so I finally got a participation point. It's my 2nd one so far, discounting the binder check. Tomorrow we'll be doing little oral presentations 'bout our Joy Luck posters.
Break time, was study time for me. I valued sleep last night instead of studying. Good thing I have Math during 4th period. Anyways, I was sorta solid in each of the 4 lessons, besides the one where we gotta do proofs. I could not remember all that shit and fix myself in 10 minutes of rushed stuyding, sooo, I just improved whatever else I DID know how to do.
Bell rang, Biology time. Today it was just notes, again. As in, powerpoint slides with lecture. I also thought we'd be doing a lab experiment today. But nope, Also the teacher talked about college and stuff for like, 10 minutes so the rest of the lecture was kinda rushed. No matter, she had print-outs of the powerpoint anyways. She didn't tell us 'cause she didn't want us to know that we can fall asleep and it'd be okay, heh. Well, not that okay, but you get what I mean. Oh and uh, Enzyne quiz tomorrow.
Math, kinda shitty right now, with the proofs and all that. Just, my hated shit right now. Uhhh, yeah it was a test. I was 75% ready. the missing 25% if the proofs part. The test seemed easy at first. Most of it were simple answers, lots of true and false, gotta make educated guesses or else you get 'em all wrong. On the back, I thought it'd be like a true or false on already filled out proofs. Nope. Just straight up, do a proof. Two of 'em actually.
Well at least now I know that my max score can only be 80% now, which if I did get everything else correct, I'd be fine. I just remembered now that I forgot to simplify 9x=111 on this one question. Only now did I realize. FUCK.
And then it became lunch time, where shit gets interesting. Today at least. So after 4th period, I went near the satellite kitchen to (like a bigger snack shack) to see if Ek and Ag were there. Seeing no signs of 'em, I decided to just have my lunch at my old spot. I went to the lockers to see if they were there, nope. I went back to my spot. I was like "Alright, I'll just hang here until like, 10 minutes before the bell rings, then I'll go on over again". At that moment, I received a message from Ek saying "Where you at fam". Ek and I always say message each other that when we ask where we are.
I was like "Looks like they're finally at the lockers from, where ever they were". I head on over, see Ag, see Ek, see Jk, but what caught my eye the most was Jv, holding a batch of white roses (I think they were roses) and a chocolate muffin. I was like "Woah, is he planning on asking someone out or-". And then I was like "UHHHHH". D- d- did Jv ask Ag out? Did he? I didn't ask if he did or not in case he didn't. Ek and everyone was talking and stuff. Jk was like "So when did this happen?" "Right as you left". And for the final confirmation, Ek was like "So, are you guys like a thing now?"
I was like "Ah- oh". Seriously, I was seriously thinking "It's only the 3rd week, it's only the 3rd week" and "So that happened". I saw the connection between them, but I didn't want to believe it. Ag said she Skyped with him the night after we went to her house, umm, they both do badminton, they both like anime and shit, aren't afraid to talk 'bout shit, you get it. I was thinking that this would happen, well, not like on the 3rd week, but, I just didn't want to believe it.
After Jv and Ag left for a bit or something, Jk asked Ek "So how did this happen" and Ek was like "I got info from Jv's perspective and Ag's perspective". And so uhhh, yeah. That's how it happened. Jv was like "Ay yo fam, Ag's da bomb" and Ag's telling Ek "Ay yo, Jv's looking good". I'm just like "So that happened."
The bell rings, Jv's brushing Ag's hair back, I'm just, just there. I'm kinda sad to be honest, because, it was fun, having the potential there. And now that's down and done, it's locked and loaded, it's like "Well, it was fun while it lasted". An example would be, there was just a really thick plywood barrier, and now there's a really big concrete barrier.
All I'm saying is, as long as this shit doesn't get in the way of our social circle, it doesn't change how we interact, as long as shit like this doesn't happen in front of my face (technically it didn't but seeing the roses is just bleh), I'm okay with it. Not saying "I hate Ag and Jv now, Jv gets the girl, etc, etc". No. Envy and Jealousy? Long time no see. But that's just about it. That's just it. Only temporary.
So anyways, bell rings, we walk off to our classes, Jv's is at the E building or something, Jk's at the J building, Ag, Ek, and I are walking to our classes. I encounter Yn again on the way. 2 times in 1 day? Are the fans complaining again because I said Yn hasn't contacted me in a while? Anyways, Ag leaves to the L building, Ek and I go down the space between the F and E buildings, she goes to her class, I go to US History. And the rest, IS HISTORY. I did not plan that pun out, but holy shit, did this work, heh.
But seriously, just notes, and reading from the book. Pretty much it for US History and Chinese. Also, Chinese vocabulary quiz tomorrow. Yay. Sooo, just wanna update a few things here, the poster's 25% done, got a lab tomorrow, gotta study for a Chinese vocabulary quiz tomorrow, poster presentation in English, and also podcasts.
In the Skype group chat that my buddies and I have, tonight my buddy, uhh, never really gave him a name, umm, Mc? Let's do that. He was in my 6th grade class, hung out in 7th grade at the same spot and buddies, he left to a private school after that. We still connect through this Skype chat though, connected our mutual buddies as well. If it weren't for this group chat, we probably would've drifted apart quick.
So anyways, Mc talked about vlogging, and then soon it became about a YouTube channel or stream, where it's just us talking. Like a show, ya know, (wink wink, nudge nudge, The Days, cough). More of like a podcast really. We agreed, though some of us can't make the times all the time to record it all and such, but it's fine. This way, we got something to show. Who knows, we may get noticed and sponsored, be a fun little side-job or something. If we get really successful with this, we'll turn this into a small business, like, JKFilms or The Creatures, heh. It's just a dream really. Also it'll help connect us together even more. After high school and when we're in college, we could visit eachother, roadtrips, all the fun. With work of course, heh.
And yeah. Big post for once. Now I gotta get back to doing the rest of some Bio shit. And uh, whatever. See ya.

Monday, August 24, 2015 "Up and Down."
Monday, August 24, 2015
Week: 3
Songs to Remember: Unravel - TK
It's been pretty tiring these past few days and I know that it's just gonna get even more tiring later on. All my buddies have been keeping me up, but all this work is just trying to hold me down.
And I don't like to use the word depressed. It's a very strong word in my opinion, should only be used if you really mean it. It's a lot heavier than just "sad" or "tired". So yeah. I'll just get on with it.
Psychology is just a lot of reading. The teacher just had us do notes, pretty much it. Now I gotta study and do notes for the test next week. And I would do these notes now, if it weren't for it being 10:45 PM. *sigh* I also got a poster that's due Friday, I started planning how it's gonna look. Took a lot longer than I expected it would.
English is really just shit, man. We gotta participate for points, as in, raising our hands to comment or answer questions. Fucking shit, man, I gotta be forced to participate. Anyways, thank god there ain't much work, just discussions really. Also on Thursday, we'll be in the theater for Junior orientation, where they give us paper to recycle afterwards and a lecture on college and all that. It's not like we haven't had this before in the previous years, we know who our counselors are. And gladly it takes up Thursday's class time for English.
Biology, what a huge amount of work, compared to my other classes. It's kinda, yeah. A lot. Umm, so today we did a bootleg lab involving breaking a lot of toothpicks. I'm talking a lot of 'em. Just to show examples of enyzmes breaking down shit. And uh, yeah. I'm still at the same lab table with Bl, and yes I just gave him a name. Because I guess I'm staying in 3rd period Bio, so, Bl's gonna be a supporting character here only. Still a character though.
Honors Precal. I have no problem so far... besides proofs. And tomorrow, there's a test already, and guess what's gonna be on it? Proofs. Even Ek messaged me on Facebook asking for help 'cause she's struggling with it too. Even her teacher says it's difficult (she has a different, less hardcore, teacher for math) and can barely solve some of em'. Proofs, they're just kinda impractical in my opinion, for jobs and such. No one's gonna ask you to name the property of this addition axiom. In 90% of jobs, anyway.
For lunch, I was walking to the lockers, to see if Ek or Ag were there. On the way I said Hi to Jk, we then walked over to the lockers together. But no, Ek, Ag, nor Jv was there. So, we walked around the L building, and after that, we went back to the lockers, and finally we found 'em. And uh, that was my lunch. Also during break I saw Em, but didn't put much effort into going to her and just saying Hi. Only now did I realize that she ain't going to be here at school for long (I forgot she's in the process of moving). I'm like "Damn, I'm seriously fucking stupid".
SSR, read more about drugs, and then there was US History. Notes, notes, notes on notes, 'cause I pen fat notes. All it was. Literally. And finally, Chinese. We kinda just, had people write Chinese characters on the board, from our vocabulary, and uhhh, that's pretty much it. Oh and another detail, as we were coming though the front door to sign in on the attendance sheet, I overheard a girl mistaking this anime wall-scroll (apprently there's an anime wall scroll now in the classroom) for YuGiOh, when the anime was not even close.
Okay, so I don't know the anime either, but from the art style, it's an oldie. Like, 90's anime. And uh, in no way does it resemble any character from YuGiOh. Like, what makes you think it's YuGiOh? Hmmm? Anyways, just a little detail, I didn't mean to act like a Le Reddit Army. Umm, yeah.
I like how it's different from last year, I feel more uncontained. I get people who say Hi to me everyday, from this one girl in my US History class (who was in my 9th grade English class and had homeroom with in 8th grade), to Jc, to Ad, to Ek, to Ag, to Jv, and to Bd when I walk to the back of the school from Chinese class.
Definitely brings my spirit up even after the fact that I'm kinda prisoner to all this work right now. I'm sure everybody is, not sure how they're managing, but uh, it's really heavy on my right now, much different from anything I've experienced before. Even Yn stopped messaging me as often. Haven't heard from her for a while, but she said her classes were fun so... Yeah. Just wanna say, getting a good night's sleep is bullshit, everybody knows it, ya can't finish all your work before 10:00 PM, including minimal breaks and things such as bathroom, dinner, shower, etc.
So until tomorrow, see ya.

Even without a lot of work, I still feel like I just did a whole shit ton of work. Well, okay, there was a fair amount of Biology work, including one assignment where there's no clear instructions and so the teacher had to email us (about an hour ago, it's 10:38 PM now) and give us an extra day to do it.
I also finally took a look at the poster assignment sheet for Psychology. The due date's August 28th. I'm like "FUCK". Gotta research a bootleg psychologist and make a really pretty poster. It even says so on the paper, I gotta "wow" the teacher. So now I gotta plan out how I'm make this thing look nice.
Also, CLOG rush is coming up soon. It's basically like, all the clubs are out on the grass field at the middle of the school in front of the auditorium, you get to walk around, look at clubs, find ones you look. That sorta thing. CLOG stands for Clubs and Organizations. Last year I was all about joining KDT (Korean Dance Team). In the beginning, I was just really tired, did not feel like dancing at all. Towards the end of last year, I was like "Oh yeah, I'll do KDT next year, yadda yadda". And now look at me. After seeing all this kind of work, I'm like "Ehhhh".
We'll see. Ummm, so yeah. My cousin has his first day of Senior year tomorrow. I got a poster that's due on Friday, and a lot of work. As well as a test on Tuesday for math. Just give it to me already. So uh, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Playback - Kiggen
Forgot to mention yesterday, but I remembered about this one game that I played a long time ago, back when I was like, 4. I searched it up and yep, it was definitely Disney's Magic Art Studio.
If I recall correctly, this was one of the very first PC games I ever played, the other being Space Pinball. Oh boy did it bring back memories. I played it on a bootleg big computer whom my uncle gave to my dad. I barely knew how to do things on the computer, it was all very new and I was very very young. I think my dad only knew how to start up the PC and click on the game, heh.
I just messed around on their basically, it was a really cool game, lots and lots of sounds and visual effects, very entertaining for a 4-year old. Anyways, that was just something I remembered.
Today it was just Black Ops 3 beta with my cousin, then at around 4:30 PM I went to Ag's house again. When I arrived they had already ordered food (just fries, chicken wings, and caprisun) while watching Men In Black. They were about 2/3 into the movie and after we finished it, we played Cards Against Humanity, which was pretty fun. When it's my turn to be the judge, basically any card mentioning dark humor I'd automatically pick, heh.
We then went out (just me, Jk, and Jv who was here this time) to get some milk tea. It was at a place not too far, we just walked there. But before we ventured on to those places, we did some bootleg seesaw-ing at a playground. It was actually my first time on a seesaw believe it or not. After
we got back, we had some "Bún riêu" which is Vietnamese meat rice vermicelli soup. Took me a while to find the actual spelling of it, heh.
After that, we got to playing some Monoply, which, was a bit slower than The Game of Life, but it was nice. Jv also showed us some OK Go music videos, as well as anime and Conan 'O' Brien videos. I've seen it all before. And uhh, yeah. I had a nice time, definitely looking forward to the next time we play The Game of Life.
And so here I am, 10:45 PM. I had a pretty wacky dream last night. Pretty crazy. And uh, tomorrow I'll be finishing up (and starting) some work. Not that much, but will fill a portion of my time. So anyways, see ya.

I've finally experienced 5 days of school in a row. My conclusion: fucking sucks, heh. All I want right now is to be able to go to sleep at 11:00 PM.
So umm. Let's get into it. Psychology, well I've been interacting with the people next to me for the past couple days, mostly because the seats are always changing and so our desks were fairly close, like a group. It's mostly just this one girl from my English class last year, this one other girl, and this other girl, who is the friend of this girl from my P.E class last year. The class is about 70% girls, 30% boys okay? Also those delinquents that I talked about switched out to P.E because they didn't think this was gonna be that hard.
It's pretty rigorous, just like the description says, heh. We had our first test today, this was still just on the prologue by the way. I expected it to be like, 20 multuple choice questions max. Nope, heh. 51 questions, in 25 minutes. I wish the teacher woulda told us that before. And then the remaining time for the essay question. Well, more like a couple paragraphs. I barely fucking finished the 51 questions. Just, barely. I was on question 36 when the teacher told us there was 5 minutes left. I was like "Shiiiiiiiit".
I think I got like a B- maybe. Hoping for, anyways. And then there was English. Barely had time to study for vocabulary last night. Good thing I do bootleg mneumatic phrases to remember the words. Real test came, multiple choice, only about 1/3 of the words were on it. I was like "Who do you think you are". Then there was a test on The Hero's Journey cycle. Both about 20 questions each. I think I got about a B on each. Hoping for. We'll also be doing presentations soon, quick ones, on our posters we made.
Break yadda yadda, nothing really happens here. Biology, test today as well, ah yes. It was on mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and bit 'bout water properties. Really, really short. We could only use calculators with basic functions. An didn't have one so yesterday she asked me if she borrow one. I stood outside the classroom, she came, I gave it to her. All in all, I probably got about an A- on it. Might've done some wrong math.
Math. The lesson chapter skips to proof, I'm fucking dead, heh. Gladly it's only just one lesson chapter. Hopefully. Today it was easier, yesterday it was only like 9 problems but would've taken me like 10 hours, whereas today's work is only 30 problems, but would probably take me only 1 hour. So that, I'll take. And I never got to say this, but there's this dude who has a seat to the right of me. I really don't like it when the teacher has the seats arranged so that 2 seats are adjacent to eachother, because this guy will be next to me, and he'll start riffle-shuffling.
I'm talking 'bout, literally, pulling out a deck of cards, and just tries to quietly riffle-shuffle under his desk or under his book. In fact I'm not even sure if he's trying to hide the loud riffle sound anymore. He doesn't say anything about it like "Hey check this out", nor do I say anything about it because I don't want to know about it. But, I'm guessing it's like a stress reliever or something? I'd riffle-shuffle in class too, but unfortunately I would have my cards taken away for being a distraction and because it's fucking loud.
Lunch time finally comes, I'm fucking hungry, and I can finally explain what I wanted to explain in this post, because I got 2 extra days ahead of me and so I don't have to worry about work right now. This is one of my rest days. Anyways, walked around with Ag, Ek again, met up with Jk couple times, Jv couple times. I now know what was bugging me about Ag. I was like "Hmmm, there's just something I can't put my finger on". And then I was like "Oh right. She kinda looks like Tn, and Jt".You know, some past people. Yeah, that was, that was it, heh.
US History, oh man is it cold in there. The AC's always blasting. We just watched part of a film shown from the History channel, with dramatizations of the American Revolution. I gotta say, the budget was pretty nice for it. Ummm, just, that was it really. Very relaxing. We're still just moving slowly in notes and whatnot, no real work yet. But when it does, WABAM. There goes the rest of my time, heh.
Chinese, a fun way to end the day. Guess the fans loved having Chinese towards the end of the episodes that the writers brang it back and in the same way as the last series. Today's was relaxing sorta, people went up to present and talk about thei research summary. And uhh, we did some total-physical responses (hand gestures) for our vocabulary words for the lesson. Mostly it'd just food. And tea. And more tea.
So right now, I'm taking a breather from the chaos that's begun. Oh yeah, actually saw Yn today when Ek and I waited for Ag to get lunch. Yn really was working at one of the registers, heh. Anyways, the Black Ops 3 Beta was released to everybody today. I STILL GOT IT BABY. Also've learned to laugh, not rage, when dying. I could understand now how I raged at one point when I first played Modern Warfare 3. Oh yeah, this is all video games.
Tomorrow I'll be relaxing, maybe completing some online assignments, then head to dinner with Ag, Ek, and Jk at some other place, then head to Ag's house again. This time we'll be playing monopoly or something. Then Sunday, that's just work and prep for next week's chaos. This was, some good calm writing alright. Now it's time to sleep early on a weekend. See ya.

Thursday, August 20, 2015
Week: 2
Songs to Remember: Cheetah - My Number
This is gonna be random, short, and just enough to count as post, because I spent all day studing and doing work because all teachers love giving quizzes and tests on the same day.
Psychology, same thing as yesterday. The teacher finished the story, I didn't really pay much attention to it because needless to say, a story that takes 2 class periods to read does not seem interesting to me. But of course I did listen to the major stuff, just not the really tiny details. I did however, tried photo-copying pages from this stupid study guide for AP Psychology. The problem was that the book was so goddamn big. It's 400 pages (layers) so it's basically a textbook itself.
It's so big, it barely fits into my printer to scan, and when I do, it doesn't cover fully a whole page, so I end up wasting so much ink for the printer to fill in the blank areas. And last but not least, the notes section we have to do for it is like 11 pages, so it would take more time to photocopy the whole thing, rather than just writing it all out. Which I did. I did the practice tests in there, so I gotta say I am fully prepared for the quiz tomorrow.
Honors English, we learn SOAPSTone and all that jazz. And umm, still, more essay prep. Kinda don't like talking 'bout essays, I like to keep it on the down low. Also, we watched a video on the SAT and ways to study for it. This was to encourage us to make flash-cards to memorize our vocabulary words not just for the quiz tomorrow, but over time so we still remember 'em for the SAT. And that's just like "Oh, alright. Can't wait to start SAT prep. Just great".
I laughed a lot while doing work tonight, because shit like "Gotta study for the next quiz, gotta finish this work, gotta start on the next assignment, start on the psychology poster, prep for the SAT soon, memorize these words, essay to write soon". I laughed at the absurd amount that's coming my way. And, probably everyone else's way.
Biology is just kinda whatever too. The textbook is just all over the place, not exactly where we're at in class. So, I gotta do my research elsewhere, the internet. Right now it's just review about H2O, as well as statistics, which, I actually learned a bit back in Algebra II/Trig. You know, standard deviation and variance. That stuff. We got a quiz tomorrow on properties of water and statistics. I'm pretty confident in my ability to do it, it's just math, and properties of water I already generally have a guide of.
Math. Proofs. Some of the things I don't like, especially when they're together. I'm going to be honest, it's around 9 questions to do tonight, the teacher's already done about 5 of 'em in class, all I gotta do is 4 more. Yeah, ummm, I'm taking my best buddy's sister's advice, and finish the assignment that is worth the most points out of my classes. For math, this work assignment is worth about 5 points. That's like nothing, heh. With my work, I'll probably get a 2/5 for it, which is still fine. Not worth the effort in writing all of that. It, is, LONG. These proofs are long. Rather would not spend an hour trying to wrap my head around the problems, would rather spend it on studying for 30 minutes for 2 subjects, or, sleep.
Lunch, I walked around with Ag and Ek again. It's becoming a regular thing, it's new still, the fans are definitely intrigued by how the series is going, heh. They're just waiting for surprises, for now, it's really just a grind for me. I like how I'm still keepig this idea going.
US History. Good, 'ol fashioned, lecture. With some stories, which brings a cool example and testimony to what we're learning. Real nice. Definitely comfortable right now in US History. I'm able to study when I want, especially since there's not really any work right now, it's great. And finally Chinese class, which alleviates some of the pressure from my other classes, and turns it into a fun learning experience.
We did some online practice quizzes, like those bootleg class quiz competitions. Those. Also, there was this guy here today, we was a previous student at the school and class, now going to be a Junior in college, studying computer science. Towards the end of class, he let us ask him questions about college. One of the tips that he could not stress enough, is how college, it doesn't where you go really. It just makes you feel, like, more achieved. It really doesn't matter.
Also, internships. Always say you can provide another solution in case you don't fill a requirement. And finally, college ain't really about grades, it's about finding who you are. And I'm just like "Damn, I don't even know who I am right now, heh". Crazy to think about at this time. Anyways, it's 11:00 PM now, I'd love to sleep right now, but I still gotta finish these English annotations. So, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Hyperdrive - Cass Dillon
This really sucks. I have work all day, and I mean really. That's basically all I do, I don't even have time to write quality posts anymore and that just outright SUCKS.
I'd love to describe the little bootleg things that occur each day, but I end forgetting them due to all this work, or, not enough time to write them, with all this work. I mean, I can stay up to write 'em, but I kinda want to sleep early. Sleeping at 12 or later? That's not an option anymore for me sadly, heh.
If I find myself having time (I doubt it), I'll elaborate on more stuff. Unless it's like a major episode, like a special or something, then I'll definitely stay up to write more details just for that. So anyways, here was how today went. Psychology, the teacher just continued her story from yesterday, we're supposed to figure out why this mother killed her 5 children and why her husband thinks she is innocent. Just some Psychology sorta shit. I'm just glad there isn't really any work from that class, besides this poster hanging over my head that's due in a couple weeks. But that, I can probably handle.
English, I really, really, do not like how the word is divided. Everyday we do a short little writing session, about 5 minutes, where the teacher gives us a topic, usually having to do with stuff we've studied or a video we watched last night for work, and we have to write as much as we can within those 5 minutes. We also gotta give evidence and all that, and I'm just like "Oh my god". And we also gotta participate, we get points for participating, yaaay. No really, I'm just, ehhhh, when it comes to that.
Biology, we already prepping for the AP exam. Like, yeah. Umm, there's definitely a lot of things we need to study ourselves since the teacher ain't gonna teach us it in class (aka, lecture). That's fine, as long as there's a reasonable amount of work, I can handle it. Oh and there was no ferrofluid, by magnetic water, she meant plastic water molecules with magnets in them. Wow. It was still pretty fun to play with, we didn't get to finish so we'll be continuing that tomorrow.
Math. Definitely one of the more lighter class in my opinion. Since I've already had this teacher, I kinda know what I'm up against, just gotta do the work, study before a test and review, study stuff that I get confused about. I'm happy the workload right now.
Lunch time, one of my favorite classes, heh. But no really, Ek, Ag, and I met up once more. We just walked around and uhhh, do whatever. Yeah that was pretty much it, heh. Then came US History, and uhhh, why can't classes be more like World History? The teacher gives such in-depth answers, lots of stories and examples, I get a feeling, an experience, of what I'm learning. It's, pretty entertaining. Oh yeah right, 'cause this ain't an AP or Honors class. Riiiiight. We're basically still just talking about general US stuff, like congress and whatnot. Also a cool detail, this dude in class asked what would be a person if they were born exactly on the border of America and Canada. Like, literally on the line. *sigh*, still adds fun though.
And finally Chinese. Calm, fun, definitely a different atmosphere in how the learning experience is. It's more interactive in Chinese, more hand-on stuff. Literally. Oral presentations, ummm, answering questions voluntarily and forcefully, heh, and uhh, hand gestures. Definitely interactive. We just uh, talked about foods and have people smell tea. Because tea is Chinese.
So I just wanna say, right now, this series is turning into a grind, more than something entertaining. It doesn't feel like something I love, something I want to do, more of a job now. That, I gotta spend time each day, out of work, to do this. But I can't stop doing this, I just can't. If there's a better way to do this, I'd really consider i over typing all this out. Maybe I'll try audio recordings, just once maybe, I'll see how it goes. But tomorrow, ssssss, gotta study my ass off. So, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Fast Lane - Bad Meets Evil
I seriously have no time right now. Seriously. There is no breathing room, just feels like there always water right at my neck and I'm floating there trying not to drown.
AP Psychology, we had a practice test, the teacher didn't know how to use Socrative, so, we just did it by hand. I didn't do so well, even if it was multiple-choice and 10 questions. But holy fucking shit, have to do a lot of reading.
Honors English is the bane of my resistance right now. Already fucking mentioning essays. No one wants to hear that word 'till, ehhh, 2 weeks in. But shit, 4th day of school and all I'm hearing is "preparing you for the essay, essay, hey did I mention essay". What make this worse is that every time I recall a memory with him in it, he's Rhett in my mind. Anyways we just did a bootleg 1-paragraph test prompt to see our writing skills. And uh, Joseph fucking Campbell. I'ma hate that name for a while.
Break,yadda yadda, AP Biology. Just notes, examples, and a lot of shit to get done by Friday. In which there's going to be a quiz. Good news is, tomorrow we get to play with magentic fluid. Hopefully it's ferrofuild, I'm just hoping. The workload for Biology right now is fine, manageable-ish.
Honors Pre-Cal. My buddy said that everybody failed the first quiz/test. Not sure if he's trying to scare me or what, but uhhh, I'll be sure to study. The workload's fine as well. Then came lunch, and after walking around the campus for a whole rotation, I went back to the lockers and found Jk and Jv there. With that dude who's dating Js, Ek said she didn't like his new hair style. I took a look at it and I was like "Huh, so that's it".
After a bit, Ek and Ag came. We were all talking 'bout how last Saturday was pretty fun, jokes about it and all that. We actually wanted to do it again. So, we're planning on going to eat at another place next Saturday, then head on over to Ag's place for bootleg games. I'm down for that.
Right now, I think US History is one of my favorite classes so far. No fucking work. Besides notes in class. And just the usual sutdying. I could just look up songs to remember the presidents, states and capitals, and amendments. Just have to remember all that shit, and I'll be dandy.
Chinese for 6th period is still the same sorta boring. We just went through the 1st chapter in the book, skimming through it, asking questions, telling stories. Umm, not much work as well. And uhhh, yeah.
Still have yet to make time for studying. I get homea at 3:00 PM, start working on work and shit, breaks, food, my mom says I should sleep at 10:00 PM. I WISH, I oh so wish that I could sleep at that time. Not with this kinda work, nope. I'm even limiting mysef to 30 minutes per post.
One thing did happen today that it'd like to put into detail. I received a notification on my phone, I was like "huh". Looked at it, it said it was text from Yn saying "Dude, do you like me?". Huh. At this point I was trying to figure out how does she come up with this. I checked my Facebook to see if I posted my site link publicly, I wasn't sure how she knew, or why she decided now to ask me. I waited for half an hour, going through my options, talking to my buddy on our Skype group chat about what's going on. Yn then starts messaging me on Facebook, being like "Hey, are you there?" and stuff.
I was like "Holy shit, why".Just was like "Fuck it" 'cause I didn't have any classes with her anyways, if things go wrong, hey, oh well, heh. So I said "Oh, sure". Then she was like "That's it?Omg I'm doing survey for class. Can you tell me reasons?". At this point I was like "Uh, huh".What the fuck's going on. I decided to test her, be like "See if you can answer this one". I said "Cool, what class?".
She replied "for English. And tomorrow we're going to find out what type of hero we are. So yeah, we need to find out whether people around live us or not, and reasons". I was pretty spektical when she said "and reasons". I'm guessing she's trying to say (auto-correct plays a part here) about how if people love us or not, instead of "live us or not". Huh. Now that I think about it, it makes a whole lot more sense. A LOT more sense. Well.
I said I found her to be cool person. She asked me to elaborate so I said she was fun, our talks are exciting, and we have common interests. Then she said "Thank you so much for spending your time doing my survey". Well, got a couple scares today, this being one of 'em. I was like "Come on, it's only the 4th day".
Oh yeah and I also talked a lot with Ln and Ag today. A lot. Especially when I got work like this, heh. What are the chances.
Anyways, I would've been a lot more thorough with all this, but it's already 11:25 PM and I'm trying to finish up English work. See ya.
Week: 2
Songs to Remember: Fast Lane - Bad Meets Evil
I seriously have no time right now. Seriously. There is no breathing room, just feels like there always water right at my neck and I'm floating there trying not to drown.
AP Psychology, we had a practice test, the teacher didn't know how to use Socrative, so, we just did it by hand. I didn't do so well, even if it was multiple-choice and 10 questions. But holy fucking shit, have to do a lot of reading.
Honors English is the bane of my resistance right now. Already fucking mentioning essays. No one wants to hear that word 'till, ehhh, 2 weeks in. But shit, 4th day of school and all I'm hearing is "preparing you for the essay, essay, hey did I mention essay". What make this worse is that every time I recall a memory with him in it, he's Rhett in my mind. Anyways we just did a bootleg 1-paragraph test prompt to see our writing skills. And uh, Joseph fucking Campbell. I'ma hate that name for a while.
Break,yadda yadda, AP Biology. Just notes, examples, and a lot of shit to get done by Friday. In which there's going to be a quiz. Good news is, tomorrow we get to play with magentic fluid. Hopefully it's ferrofuild, I'm just hoping. The workload for Biology right now is fine, manageable-ish.
Honors Pre-Cal. My buddy said that everybody failed the first quiz/test. Not sure if he's trying to scare me or what, but uhhh, I'll be sure to study. The workload's fine as well. Then came lunch, and after walking around the campus for a whole rotation, I went back to the lockers and found Jk and Jv there. With that dude who's dating Js, Ek said she didn't like his new hair style. I took a look at it and I was like "Huh, so that's it".

Songs to Remember: I Don't Like Mondays - The Boomtown Rats
Tell me why? I don't like Mondays. Tell me why? I don't like Mondays. Tell me why? I don't like Mondays.
My English teacher played that song this morning when class started. He then explained that it was a controversial song at the time as it was written off a school shooting. I was like "Oh. Well that's one way to start off the day". And now the song's been stuck in my head the whole day.
Alrighty, now that it's the second season of The Days, I got work, yadda yadda, I won't be writing in every single detail. But, if it's a scene or moment that deserves that kind of detail, I'll do it. So, let's get started. Psychology, we basically just reviewed a bit of stuff with the mnemonic device with the hand and fingers. We also picked psychiatrists to study about and make posters about them. I was going to pick this guy named Edwin G. Boring. It was only because his last name was "Boring", heh.
But then I was like "Damn, it's gonna be kinda tough finding info on this guy". And so I found this one other guy (there was a huge list) named Ivan P. Pavlov. I was like "Oh my god, this is great. I can make a small little meme on the poster with Bane and the scene with Dr. Pavle". You know, because Pavlov and Pavle sound kinda alike. That was literally the only reason why.
I looked up the script from The Dark Knight Rises and Bane doesn't say "Pavel" actually. I was like "Sshhhhit". So now I'm stuck with this dude whom I can barely find info on, heh. English, umm, was fine. The teacher lectured us on The Hero's Journey, where every single movie or story, there's always this base storyline you can find in all of 'em, which is the same for every story. I ended up doing notes yesterday, which was supposed to be today's work. And uh, we're gonna have to do a bootleg 1-paragraph essay thing tomorrow. Apparently everybody's doing this.
Break time, yadda yadda, I just sit at my old spot. 3rd period, AP biology, kinda ehh right now. That was before we had to do a "lab" today and measure fake mice tails. We were supposed to do this in groups, so when I sat at an empty lab table, there was basically nobody. Until, this one dude, I won't give him a name yet since I'm not sure if he'll be relevant yet, but, he was like "Hey, can I work with you?" and I was like "Yeah sure".
He measured the tails, I put it up on the Google spreadsheet with the data. I liked his style. Towards the end where we were finishing up (we already introduced ourselves at this point), he was like "Hey I think I have you added on Facebook" and he pulls up his Facebook on the Chromebook, finds my profile, then de-friends me. He was like "I only have friends on here". Jokingly of course, heh. I was like "Holy shit, this dude is good". I don't even remember adding this guy to be honest. I liked his style though.
Honors Pre-cal was next. Just the same old lesson-a-day thing. Nothing special. Lunch time, I went to my old spot to finish my lunch before heading on over to the lockers where Ek and the new cast always hung out when they weren't walking around. I didn't see them there. I checked on multiple occasions during lunch, I couldn't find them (apparently they went off-campus to get food or something).
I did however, get to chat with my buddy Ad again (whom I did meet in the series premier, I just forgot to mention it. He asked our Chinese teacher during my class period if she needed a TA). He has AP Biology, I asked him what class period, he says 4th. I was like "Fuck it, I'm going to the counselors and scheduling a session during SSR tomorrow to ask to change. Good bye dude from my AP Biology class whom I met today, looks like you won't be developed into a real character on the show, but fuck, I need to switch my 3rd and 4th period classes".
5th period came along, I was falling asleep in SSR (almost). US History was fine, a bit of lecture on the branches of government, and, well, got our textbooks, and well, that was it. Thank the lord I don't have to bring my books to class besides for math. It was fucking HOT today. Anyways, Chinese class brang my spirits up finally. Gave me a bit of hope that my seat didn't TOTALLY, suck. What sucked was this one girl who decided to just switch from Chinese 2 to Chinese 3.
I actually got the chance to talk to her for the first time before she decided to switch. She was in line, I was in line, we were all in line getting our Chinese textbooks. She used me and her friend as choices for an "Eeny Meeny Miny Mo" decision. She was like "Hi" and I was like "Hey, you're Helen right?" and she was like "Yeah, you're Drew right? Nice to meet you" and I was just like "Fucking shit man, she knows me name. Damn". I also had some friendly convos with Zi and Jk as well.
Well, I got a fair amount of notes I gotta do at home now. That's AP for ya. Just kidding, it's only the beginning. And for fuck's sake, stop giving me poster projects man. Shit's boring. Anyways, let's hope I get the ever so hopeful 3rd and 4th period switch at the counselor's office tomorrow (that is, if I can get an appointment at that time). We'll see. So uh, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Adore U - Seventeen
I managed to do my first day of work for this year. A bit of Biology stuff, some English stuff, some psychology, and uh, math.
Not all my classes had work. For Chinese there wasn't any work, neither was US History. But, later on, I probably will find myself getting work from all 6 classes at a time. That'll be pretty painful. But alas, I did focus today, didn't really fuck around all that much because I needed to get shit done.
I also found out that my Honors Pre-Cal textbook is not on Slader. I tried searching it up, even somebody on Twitter tweeted it out to the official Slader Twitter. The book is so freaking OLD. No wonder they didn't have it. Well, I knew I couldn't depend on Slader for my whole life, so, hopefully I make it out alive in Honors Pre-Cal.
And umm, yeah. Watched a bit of LCS today, Skyped, participated in the Skype group chat, and did work. And yes, I'm still pretty bummed about my seat in Chinese. I feel like this isn't the first time, heh, I think I've had this happen before last year in Chinese class as well. Huh. Well anyways, it's just the beginning, Drew, who knows what happens next?
That reminds me: the SAT. Just straight up: FUCK. Goddamnit, just put me out of my misery. I've seen people with those giant-ass SAT study books the size of phone books. Whenever I feel like seling my energtic soul, I'll do the SAT. Which ummm, I'd say I'd do in March. February, that's reserved for The Days February Special. Anyways, see ya.

Songs to Remember: M8 - M.Joon
We can't have a boring work-filled weekend after the first 2 episodes of The Days. It's gotta be something exciting, unexpected, and able to bring a more positive look right now.
And that's exactly what happened. I was hoping to finish all my work today. The stupid, Biology work where I gotta cut out paper and match a word to its definition and glue 'em together to make bootleg flashcards. As well as watch some bootleg videos online and study for a mean, median, mode quiz on Monday (really? Mean, median, and mode? That's middle school yo).
But the thing is, even when I'm looking these words up online (it's all just, statistics words), I still cannot find the definition. These definitions SUCK. I'ma just use logic and elimination and stuff to match these words and definitions. I've tried everything online, still cannot find the definitions for these words. I mean, "Observed" and "Expected". I'm supposed to find the "statistics" definition for these. FUCK.
I got about half-way through 'em. I was doing this, Skyping my cousin, and online stuff when I received a message on Facebook, from Ek. She asked "Hey, do you wanna come to this sushi or Malaysian restaurant with us?". I was like "What time?" and she was like "5:30?". So I was like "Drew, you can't just step down like this, it's The Days and you always complain about having nothing to do. Go with the new cast and have fucking fun". And I was like "Fuck it, I'm going to a restaurant with friends".
I umm, basically did what else I could with the Bio work and uhh, it became 5:30 PM. We decided on going to the Malaysian place, which was actually closer than I expected. Apparently in my mind I was thinking of Ek, Ag, Jk, Jv, and a bunch more people would come and it'd be a long table of just food, food, people, and me. But no, no, I arrived and saw that there was just Ek, Ag, Jk, and I. It was literally just the 4 of us, which was fine, I preferred it that way. More manageable for me as this was the 1st time I've ever went out to eat with friends.
Is it really the first? As far as I can remember, yeah. We went in, had a table for 4. I sat next to Jk, Ek sat next to Ag. We had Pineapple Rice, which is like fried rice and pineapple, stuffed into half a pineapple, Pad Thai, and some bootleg chicken. We shared and uhhh, after we were done we walked to Petco (or Petsmart, could never tell the difference) for Ag to get some crickets for her pet bearded dragon. Basically a bootleg lizard (never knew she had a pet reptile).
We walked around a bit, looked at cats, fish, birds, mice, hamsters, and even lizards. We got the crickets, they came in a bag which Ek seemed to find fun in holding. Ag invited us to her house to play bootleg monopoly games and shit. I was like "Hmmm, ehhh, let's just see how it goes". So, her dad drove us to her house, which was located in this apartment place. Never actually been to a friend's house, in like, forever.
We played a round of "The Game of Life". I had never played before, it was my first time, and honestly I can say it's pretty fucking bootleg. I basically lost most of my money doing bootleg bets in Spin2Win's. And uhh, yeah. We did some Rayman Legends after that on her PS3, then Soul Caliber 5 and Persona Arena. I still don't know how to do the ultimate attacks in these fighting games.
It was around 6:30 PM when we got to her house (which is still relatively close to like, the main streets from my house to the school), and after all the bootleg games it was basically 10:00 PM. My dad called me around 9:00 PM, I said just 1 more hour. And uh, we all got picked up by our parents 1 by 1, and I was the last one left there, heh.
The whole day was fucking HOT. Not only in excitement, but temperature as well. Holy fucking shit, it was a flat 90 degrees. Outside of Ag's apartment at night, fucking 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Pretty fucking hot. My parents picked me up shortly after that.
Well, I uh, didn't expect for this to happen today. Just shows that it's only just the beginning of The Days and there's more where that came from. I developed a stronger bond within the new main cast. Will the viewers like 'em? It definitely is new, brings more balance in my opinion. We'll just have to wait and see. And by that, I mean I am goddamn tired right now, so see ya.

I developed a stronger bond within the new main cast. Will the viewers like 'em? It definitely is new, brings more balance in my opinion. We'll just have to wait and see. And by that, I mean I am goddamn tired right now, so see ya.

Week: 1
Songs to Remember: AOAO - ZPZG
Last night's sleep was soooo good. Slept like a baby. I had to sleep at 12:00 AM because I was busy finishing up the series premier post yesterday. Took a lot longer than I would've liked.
Oh hey, it's the 2nd day, the 2nd episode of The Days. Let's see what's going on now. Woke up, actually felt a bit tired. Wasn't as excited as yesterday, that's for sure. I actually decided to wear a different pants instead of the same every 2 days. I'll be switching around one every other day so they both get worn for a total of 2 days, and it won't look like I wear the same thing every day.
Anyways, got to school just a bit early. I usually get there just in time for the bell to ring so I go to class immediately and not have to sit like a loner and wait (just kidding). AP Psychology's going a lot better now. Not because I actually got a new seat that I wanted. Okay, ya got me. I went in and all the desks were arranged differently now. It wasn't in table groups, it was like, classroom sorta organized. You know what I mean, the usual way desks are set. Single, usually facing in one direction, or to the center.
So I, with all the desk positions changed, as well as people who are already sitting at/near the spot where my seat was yesterday, I was like "Well, guess I gotta pick a new seat". And so I proceed to sit near this girl who I was in my English 2A class last year. That was, pretty much it. Her friend comes in and was expecting to sit where I was I guess. I was like "Nope, not today". She sat behind her friend.
Our teacher wasn't here today, under some bad circumstances she can't teach today. So, we all went to go get our textbooks (as well as a workbook, not to be written in though), and we were assigned a little packet to do in class and finish over the weekend. I took one look at it and I was like "Oh. Okay". The fucking thing was the exact same format as the vocabulary worksheets my World History teacher had us do last year. It was the exact same thing, same font, but instead of History terms and whatnot, we had to look up Psychology terms.
I wanted to be a good boy and actually read through the chapter in the book for the terms. I tried looking for the first word "structuralist/ism". The text barely explains what it is, but sure gives a long-ass statement about its origin. I just went to the glossary. Fuck it, heh. From reading that people could barely decipher what it meant. So uh, yeah. Not hard, just, a bit tedious is all. I also heard the dudes who sat near me (well, now). They were talking about how they were gonna fail the class and whatnot. I was like "Yeah, even though it is AP Psychology, it's still AP, heh".
Definitely a calm morning. And just because fans were complaining about Yn not showing up in the premier yesterday, the writers were forced to have her show up today. As the bell rang, I exited the classroom and went on over to Honors English, at the E building (which is conveniently located next to the F building where I was at). As I walked on over, bam, Yn appears. Like, just straight up, she was with her friend. I was like "Ay" and waved, and she waved back. You know, I could settle for Hello's each day, I wouldn't mind.
I almost forgot to explain how I spent a little bit of time in the morning at school studying, since I got to school kinda earlier than I usually would. I think that little bit of studying helped, because we were taking a test on the Joy Luck Club today. Also, apparently there's a seating chart. I'm, actually kinda glad. I wasn't in the most favored spot yesterday. I ended up sitting to this one girl I don't know, and this one who I do know (she was in my 8th grade English class), but not sure if she remembers me. Oh and my seat, I basically sat one seat to the left from yesterday.
I'm a bit more comfortable now in this spot, about a 25% bit better. Anyways, uh, we had Chromebooks to take the test on. I was relieved just a bit because I prefer typing than hand-writing stuff. That's why I'm doing all these posts online, heh. Easier to keep track of, and, I won't lose my hand after the 3rd post. The teacher had us do a short survey to see how confident we were. It was just one question, on a scale of A to F, how well do we think we would do on the test. Well, I certainly don't feel average (come on, average is kinda boring just a bit), I didn't really study last night so I knew I wouldn't ace the thing. Above average, B, now that was what I was feeling.
He showed the results and whadya know, 40% of the class picked B. A little picked A, a little picked C, no D's, and a tiny bit of F's. He didn't exactly go ape-shit, he was like "Hmm, I understand, some of you are confident, some of you are a bit less, etc". It was very calming actually. So he started up the test and bam, multiple choice. I was like "HOLLA FAM". I was very happy, heh. It was mostly just questions pertaining to what happens in this scene, who said this quote, ummm, why is this chapter called blah blah blah".
It was A LOT less difficult as I expected it to be. 36 questions in total, about 4 free-response (he said it wasn't constructed-response, so that meant we didn't have to type a whole essay, heh, just enough to explain), the rest were multiple choice. Oh baby. I actually got confused on the An-Mei and Ying-ying characters. They just weren't as interesting to me, so I didn't remember who's story was what. I blame it on organization. So he checked the results after everybody finished and said the majority of us did pretty well. I was like "Awww yeah son, one down, a million more to go".
After that it was break time. I think I'll keep it to, hanging out at my old spot (yes, I consider it old now), and during lunchtime going around with uhhh, the new addition cast. That includes Ek (she's now kinda moved into the main-main cast), Ag, Jk, Jv, and some others. Not as important to list 'em for now. And uh, that was I did. Nothing exciting happened during break really, just, people. Anyways, it was time for 3rd period.
I walked in, tried to remember where I sat, sat down, and noticed the teacher wasn't here, but, there was her TA (teacher's assistant). The teacher's assistant then got up and went over to the main counter/desk and I was like "Holy shit, that was the teacher". Ya see what I mean when I meant "Wow" yesterday? Fucking crazy man. And so, class started, and uh, there was a seating chart for assigned seats. WOO. Now this is what I'm talking about. It's doing a re-roll with dice. Except this time I wasn't so lucky, I'm sitting next to that one girl who I sat next to during the beginning of Algebra II/Trig last year. Not that it's bad, just, I was expecting something else alright?
The teacher just did a lecture the whole period basically. Apparently we're supposed to do a lab, about measuring mice tails, which, I was excited for. Turns out, they ain't real. What kind of fucking shit is this? I'm just kidding. We didn't have time for the lab today, too much lecturing, which, I don't mind. Even though I was yawning twice per minute, I don't mind. She talked about statistics, like, basic statistics, ya know, mean, median, and mode? This is so that after we measure the tails, we collect the data, get the average, etc, etc. It seemed fairly easy, umm, the teacher talked about a lot of side things, which, again, I don't mind, it adds flavor to the lecture (huh, never thought I'd say that).
One of the more impacting things she said was how my Chemistry teacher from last year, Mr.Seals (it doesn't matter at this point if I say his name or not), had started teaching at a different school, one where it's closer to his house since his kids are starting to attend school and he wants to be closer to them, which I understand. She said his commute to our school was 40 minutes each morning and afternoon, and now his commute is about 4 minutes. Pretty big difference. Glad I was in one of his last few classes he taught here, he made science pretty nice. I think I started thinking towards a science-y study in the future because of his class (don't quote me on this, aight).
Of course we had homework. Some "cut-it-out yourself flashcards then glue 'em back to back after watching some videos online and shit". Nice, nice. Anyways, 4th period, go to that place we call Honors Pre-Cal, sit down in what I presume was my seat (thank goodness it was). We got our textbooks today, and as we were walking, Jc was talking with her buddy, we mentioned how I have 6th period Chinese, then Jc's buddy was like "6th period Chinese?" and I was like "Ohh yeah, you're in my 6th period Chinese". She sits right smack dab in the middle, with sorta an empty seat next to her. Not sure if someone sits there.
And uhhh, our lesson today was, the usual math stuff. The teacher also said how the textbooks we have are pretty old, but the math department can't find any better book (not with updated/better material, but, format). She said it was made around in the 1980's, I flipped to the publication page. "Copyright 1991", I was like "Holy shit this book is OLDER THAN ME". Fucking crazy yo. Ummm, the lesson and notes were basically the same as last year's. Ehh. We do have homework of course. Never let your guard down Drew.
Bell rings, lunch time, I go over to my old spot to eat my lunch, then, I headed on over to the lockers from yesterday, where Ek, Ag, Jk, and I all went. I'm guessing their lockers were over there. I went on over, I see someone who I thought was Ag, but upon closer inspection, was actually just Tn (from So Don't Be on With Her). Nope, just kidding, heh, it was actually Ag. I thought it was Tn until she said "Hey it's Drew". And now I just wanna say, she reminds me a lot of Jn. Jn? Was that her name? Or Jt? Whichever, she reminds me of her. You know, from my original elementary school. Also the one who took photos at the dance from March 2015.
Ag was with her buddy, I forgot her name already, heh, and we met up with Jv. Apparently I'm a new "member" of the "group". I don't like that man, don't do these group things, it's so, so, ehhh, I'm not sure how to describe. Ya'll know what I mean right? Whatever. I tried to make myself relevant besides someone who just listens in on the convos. We were walking to the book room for Ag to turn in her locker form. Ya know, I probably shouldn't have turned in my form so early, in case I wanted to change lockers, like I do now, heh. Like, I didn't think they were gonna keep form submissions for 2 whole weeks!
We walked back to the lockers and ran into Ek on the way, who was at the old hangout spot. We hung out at the lockers, in the shade, had lunch. Well they did, I already had lunch. And uhhh, yeah, I expect more crazy shit to happen as the series goes on. This, now this is a nice different direction that I actually like. Keep the show fresh man. *sigh* okay. Uhhh, 5th period now. The teacher said that it's usually SSR during this time, always after lunch. I was like "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT". I completely, COMPLETELY, forgot about SSR.
For those of you new to the series, it's basically homeroom. Except, not in the morning but after lunch. And it's in the same room as your 5th period. Also homeroom rules apply differently to everybody, it all depends on what the teacher says. Can you do homework? If the teacher allows ya to. Usually it's just reading though. Silent, sustained, reading. Well, since it was SSR, for the first time of the year, I guess the teacher thought it was a good time to recommend people books. As in, he went on over and like, did brief summaries on all of 'em, going like "Oh this one's about a hitchhiker. Great read, anybody wanna read this one?" except, it was more enthusiastic, detailed, and overall he made each book sound pretty exciting to read.
He has like a line of books across his desk. It ranged from like, Maze Runner, to Hunger Games, uhhh, Life Without Limits by that man with no appendages, toooo fictional assasination novels (which he doesn't really recommend actually, he doesn't encourage people to have thoughts of killing others), aaand some other stuff. For those of that didn't really want a book, he suggested we can study in our History books for a quiz on naming and listing from the 1st to 44th president. A practice quiz of course. I chose to study, mostly because I have the slightest knowledge on U.S presidents. I know the names of of a few, but, have no idea their order, besides George Washington, heh. I guess after seeing so many of us choosing to study over reading a good book, he got out a stack of little uh magazines but with those card stock covers. He was like "Who wants to read about street drugs?", in a comic way of course.
It's a fairly old magazine book thing, published in 2001. It had information on all kinds of drugs I suppose, I only got through the first 3 pages. Lots of pictures, lots of pictures. Of Ecstasy. Very colorful, very colorful. So uh, yeah, then SSR was over and it became US History. We had a map of the U.S to name each to state and capital, and every president and when they were elected. That was when I remembered why Geography gave me such a hard time. It was the fucking maps. There just wasn't anything to 'em, ya just gotta memorize that shit. I better look up some bootleg songs to memorize all them states, capitals, and presidents.
That was basically the whole period, just a short little study time. Anyways, the bell rang and I started walking to 6th period. I see someone from the back wearing a periwinkle backpack with the same colored shirt that Zi was wearing today, as I was walking my usual route to Chinese class. She seemed to be walking the same way as well. "Yep, Zi". I still find it kinda weird that I can do this kinda shit. And uhh, yeah, I was walking to Chinese along the way, she didn't notice me at first, but then she comes up behind me and is all like "Drew!" in that optimistic cheery voice she always does when she calls people's names. She was like "Are you going to Chinese?" and I was like "Yeah" and she's like "Omg me too!" and hugs me. "It's just like last year!". So I'm guessing she transfered to 6th period Chinese 2, heh.
At this point at I was a bit more uh, optimistic for Chinese class. Yesterday it was kinda depressing a bit due to people around me in class. Today it topped that, in terms of depressive-ness that is. I go to my assigned seat (there's no such thing as free choice anymore, heh) and well, there was a dude here, I'm guessing he transferred to 6th period as well as I didn't see him yesterday. Zi and him are buddies (being both Sophomores, everyone's basically buddies in the class) and so she was like "Miss, can I sit with him over here" and she was like "Ah, fine". Guess where they sit? The same, fucking, place that I tried to sit at yesterday. FUCK. The writers basically just teased me with this "Hey, Zi's gonna be in one of your classes now, hopefully this will please some of the fans" and then just fucked me over and be like "Ha! Just kidding, ya gotta wait 6 seasons kid for even a chance to have Zi be in the supporting cast again". Right now she's kinda like, interactive background character level. *sigh* fucking scripts.
Knowing that this was all hapenneing around me, holy shit was I fucking miserable. The sophomore dude next to me doesn't give a fuck, the two sophomores behind me (who were both in my exact same Chinese class last year, I even sat next to one twice) don't even bother talking to me. The rest of the class knew eachother as well as Kobayashi knew hotdogs. The plan for today (like, lesson plan) was to have each group come up to the front and with one person at a time, ask the teacher a question having to do with Chinese 2, as well as state their 3 objectives (last night's homework, ya gotta list 3 things you wanna learn in Chinese 2). It was pretty cringy at first. One dude, he, he asked a question about the syllabus, about how why there were two like, columns or something in there. I just- I just didn't do anything. I couldn't do anything.
More groups came up, then it was our turn. I was like "Hello all, my name is Drew" (that was all in Chinese by the way) and "I would like to ask you, what are we going to learn in Chinese 2?" (because j didn't fucking care really, I could've done a more bootleg question but uh, yeah, didn't really have the energy for it I guess *sigh*). "My 3 objectives are that I would to learn about how to order off a menu in Chinese, etc, etc, generic objectives everybody else put". The class didn't really know who I was, hell, I didn't even know who I was during this class. I still have yet to find my character, and no it's not Drew from The Days, nor is it Drew from 100% Chance of Bad, nor is it Drew from So Don't Be on With Her. Anyways, after a couple groups went after mind's, this lady comes in. She was like "Sorry to interrupt. I'm a new adminstrator at the main office. Don't be afraid to say hi" or something like that. I guess she wanted us to be familiar with her, and vice-versa.
But the most bootleg thing I've noticed this whole day. Was this. She asked "How many seniors are in here, raise your hand". Nobody raised their hands. "How about freshman?". A couple raised their hands. "Okay, Juniors?". About 1/5 of the class raised their hands, including me. " What about the sophomores?". Fucking the whole class raised their hands. She's like "Woow! Looks like the sophomores rule it over here, heh". And uh, yeah. After that I had to sit through more of cringer-rola. It's just the same people over and over again. Fucking, I'm stuck at my seat for 6, more, seasons. FUCK. This contract is too long. I can't even walk to my mom's car anymore, man.
*sigh* Well, I got work to do. Homework that is. And work too, in general. Things are very bumpy right now. Hopefully the writers are refining the script. Just kidding, there is no script, it's all improvised but there is definitely some plot lines for all this shit to go on. Just gotta try and keep it calm for now. Besides, 5 other action-packed periods. Well sorta. Maybe not all 5. Anyways, 2nd episode so far, shit's new but I don't like some of the directions these plots are going. Let's see the rest of season shall we? Oh wait, it premiered Thursday. Which means, on Sunday it'll be the end of season 1. Uhhh, it is Chinese 2 after all, so let's see how the 2nd season goes then, hm?
Also Ln messaged me on Facebook about how she feels sad in Honors English, and that it's partially due to PMS. Then we moved on to other shit, her crush, my crush, bleh, apparently she hopesbto message me all about her problems, which I don't mind. And uh, yeah. Very random, very, very random. Not bad though. Alright, time to sleep. See ya.
Now comes the better parts
Week: 1
Songs to Remember: AOAO - ZPZG
Last night's sleep was soooo good. Slept like a baby. I had to sleep at 12:00 AM because I was busy finishing up the series premier post yesterday. Took a lot longer than I would've liked.
Oh hey, it's the 2nd day, the 2nd episode of The Days. Let's see what's going on now. Woke up, actually felt a bit tired. Wasn't as excited as yesterday, that's for sure. I actually decided to wear a different pants instead of the same every 2 days. I'll be switching around one every other day so they both get worn for a total of 2 days, and it won't look like I wear the same thing every day.
Anyways, got to school just a bit early. I usually get there just in time for the bell to ring so I go to class immediately and not have to sit like a loner and wait (just kidding). AP Psychology's going a lot better now. Not because I actually got a new seat that I wanted. Okay, ya got me. I went in and all the desks were arranged differently now.

And so I proceed to sit near this girl who I was in my English 2A class last year. That was, pretty much it. Her friend comes in and was expecting to sit where I was I guess. I was like "Nope, not today". She sat behind her friend.
Our teacher wasn't here today, under some bad circumstances she can't teach today. So, we all went to go get our textbooks (as well as a workbook, not to be written in though), and we were assigned a little packet to do in class and finish over the weekend.

One of the more impacting things she said was how my Chemistry teacher from last year, Mr.Seals (it doesn't matter at this point if I say his name or not), had started teaching at a different school, one where it's closer to his house since his kids are starting to attend school and he wants to be closer to them, which I understand. She said his commute to our school was 40 minutes each morning and afternoon, and now his commute is about 4 minutes. Pretty big difference. Glad I was in one of his last few classes he taught here, he made science pretty nice. I think I started thinking towards a science-y study in the future because of his class (don't quote me on this, aight).
Of course we had homework. Some "cut-it-out yourself flashcards then glue 'em back to back after watching some videos online and shit". Nice, nice. Anyways, 4th period, go to that place we call Honors Pre-Cal, sit down in what I presume was my seat (thank goodness it was). We got our textbooks today, and as we were walking, Jc was talking with her buddy, we mentioned how I have 6th period Chinese, then Jc's buddy was like "6th period Chinese?" and I was like "Ohh yeah, you're in my 6th period Chinese".

Ummm, the lesson and notes were basically the same as last year's. Ehh. We do have homework of course. Never let your guard down Drew.
Bell rings, lunch time, I go over to my old spot to eat my lunch, then, I headed on over to the lockers from yesterday, where Ek, Ag, Jk, and I all went. I'm guessing their lockers were over there. I went on over, I see someone who I thought was Ag, but upon closer inspection, was actually just Tn (from So Don't Be on With Her). Nope, just kidding, heh, it was actually Ag. I thought it was Tn until she said "Hey it's Drew". And now I just wanna say, she reminds me a lot of Jn. Jn? Was that her name? Or Jt? Whichever, she reminds me of her. You know, from my original elementary school. Also the one who took photos at the dance from March 2015.
Ag was with her buddy, I forgot her name already, heh, and we met up with Jv. Apparently I'm a new "member" of the "group". I don't like that man, don't do these group things, it's so, so, ehhh, I'm not sure how to describe. Ya'll know what I mean right? Whatever. I tried to make myself relevant besides someone who just listens in on the convos. We were walking to the book room for Ag to turn in her locker form. Ya know, I probably shouldn't have turned in my form so early, in case I wanted to change lockers, like I do now, heh. Like, I didn't think they were gonna keep form submissions for 2 whole weeks!
We walked back to the lockers and ran into Ek on the way, who was at the old hangout spot. We hung out at the lockers, in the shade, had lunch. Well they did, I already had lunch. And uhhh, yeah, I expect more crazy shit to happen as the series goes on. This, now this is a nice different direction that I actually like. Keep the show fresh man. *sigh* okay. Uhhh, 5th period now. The teacher said that it's usually SSR during this time, always after lunch. I was like "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT". I completely, COMPLETELY, forgot about SSR.
For those of you new to the series, it's basically homeroom. Except, not in the morning but after lunch. And it's in the same room as your 5th period. Also homeroom rules apply differently to everybody, it all depends on what the teacher says. Can you do homework? If the teacher allows ya to. Usually it's just reading though. Silent, sustained, reading. Well, since it was SSR, for the first time of the year, I guess the teacher thought it was a good time to recommend people books. As in, he went on over and like, did brief summaries on all of 'em, going like "Oh this one's about a hitchhiker. Great read, anybody wanna read this one?" except, it was more enthusiastic, detailed, and overall he made each book sound pretty exciting to read.
He has like a line of books across his desk. It ranged from like, Maze Runner, to Hunger Games, uhhh, Life Without Limits by that man with no appendages, toooo fictional assasination novels (which he doesn't really recommend actually, he doesn't encourage people to have thoughts of killing others), aaand some other stuff. For those of that didn't really want a book, he suggested we can study in our History books for a quiz on naming and listing from the 1st to 44th president. A practice quiz of course. I chose to study, mostly because I have the slightest knowledge on U.S presidents. I know the names of of a few, but, have no idea their order, besides George Washington, heh. I guess after seeing so many of us choosing to study over reading a good book, he got out a stack of little uh magazines but with those card stock covers. He was like "Who wants to read about street drugs?", in a comic way of course.
It's a fairly old magazine book thing, published in 2001. It had information on all kinds of drugs I suppose, I only got through the first 3 pages. Lots of pictures, lots of pictures. Of Ecstasy. Very colorful, very colorful. So uh, yeah, then SSR was over and it became US History. We had a map of the U.S to name each to state and capital, and every president and when they were elected. That was when I remembered why Geography gave me such a hard time. It was the fucking maps. There just wasn't anything to 'em, ya just gotta memorize that shit. I better look up some bootleg songs to memorize all them states, capitals, and presidents.
That was basically the whole period, just a short little study time. Anyways, the bell rang and I started walking to 6th period. I see someone from the back wearing a periwinkle backpack with the same colored shirt that Zi was wearing today, as I was walking my usual route to Chinese class. She seemed to be walking the same way as well. "Yep, Zi". I still find it kinda weird that I can do this kinda shit. And uhh, yeah, I was walking to Chinese along the way, she didn't notice me at first, but then she comes up behind me and is all like "Drew!" in that optimistic cheery voice she always does when she calls people's names. She was like "Are you going to Chinese?" and I was like "Yeah" and she's like "Omg me too!" and hugs me. "It's just like last year!". So I'm guessing she transfered to 6th period Chinese 2, heh.
At this point at I was a bit more uh, optimistic for Chinese class. Yesterday it was kinda depressing a bit due to people around me in class. Today it topped that, in terms of depressive-ness that is. I go to my assigned seat (there's no such thing as free choice anymore, heh) and well, there was a dude here, I'm guessing he transferred to 6th period as well as I didn't see him yesterday. Zi and him are buddies (being both Sophomores, everyone's basically buddies in the class) and so she was like "Miss, can I sit with him over here" and she was like "Ah, fine". Guess where they sit? The same, fucking, place that I tried to sit at yesterday. FUCK. The writers basically just teased me with this "Hey, Zi's gonna be in one of your classes now, hopefully this will please some of the fans" and then just fucked me over and be like "Ha! Just kidding, ya gotta wait 6 seasons kid for even a chance to have Zi be in the supporting cast again". Right now she's kinda like, interactive background character level. *sigh* fucking scripts.
Knowing that this was all hapenneing around me, holy shit was I fucking miserable. The sophomore dude next to me doesn't give a fuck, the two sophomores behind me (who were both in my exact same Chinese class last year, I even sat next to one twice) don't even bother talking to me. The rest of the class knew eachother as well as Kobayashi knew hotdogs. The plan for today (like, lesson plan) was to have each group come up to the front and with one person at a time, ask the teacher a question having to do with Chinese 2, as well as state their 3 objectives (last night's homework, ya gotta list 3 things you wanna learn in Chinese 2). It was pretty cringy at first. One dude, he, he asked a question about the syllabus, about how why there were two like, columns or something in there. I just- I just didn't do anything. I couldn't do anything.
More groups came up, then it was our turn. I was like "Hello all, my name is Drew" (that was all in Chinese by the way) and "I would like to ask you, what are we going to learn in Chinese 2?" (because j didn't fucking care really, I could've done a more bootleg question but uh, yeah, didn't really have the energy for it I guess *sigh*). "My 3 objectives are that I would to learn about how to order off a menu in Chinese, etc, etc, generic objectives everybody else put". The class didn't really know who I was, hell, I didn't even know who I was during this class. I still have yet to find my character, and no it's not Drew from The Days, nor is it Drew from 100% Chance of Bad, nor is it Drew from So Don't Be on With Her. Anyways, after a couple groups went after mind's, this lady comes in. She was like "Sorry to interrupt. I'm a new adminstrator at the main office. Don't be afraid to say hi" or something like that. I guess she wanted us to be familiar with her, and vice-versa.
But the most bootleg thing I've noticed this whole day. Was this. She asked "How many seniors are in here, raise your hand". Nobody raised their hands. "How about freshman?". A couple raised their hands. "Okay, Juniors?". About 1/5 of the class raised their hands, including me. " What about the sophomores?". Fucking the whole class raised their hands. She's like "Woow! Looks like the sophomores rule it over here, heh". And uh, yeah. After that I had to sit through more of cringer-rola. It's just the same people over and over again. Fucking, I'm stuck at my seat for 6, more, seasons. FUCK. This contract is too long. I can't even walk to my mom's car anymore, man.
*sigh* Well, I got work to do. Homework that is. And work too, in general. Things are very bumpy right now. Hopefully the writers are refining the script. Just kidding, there is no script, it's all improvised but there is definitely some plot lines for all this shit to go on. Just gotta try and keep it calm for now. Besides, 5 other action-packed periods. Well sorta. Maybe not all 5. Anyways, 2nd episode so far, shit's new but I don't like some of the directions these plots are going. Let's see the rest of season shall we? Oh wait, it premiered Thursday. Which means, on Sunday it'll be the end of season 1. Uhhh, it is Chinese 2 after all, so let's see how the 2nd season goes then, hm?
Also Ln messaged me on Facebook about how she feels sad in Honors English, and that it's partially due to PMS. Then we moved on to other shit, her crush, my crush, bleh, apparently she hopesbto message me all about her problems, which I don't mind. And uh, yeah. Very random, very, very random. Not bad though. Alright, time to sleep. See ya.
Now comes the better parts

Thursday, August 13, 2015 "The Days."
Thursday, August 13, 2015
Week: 1
Songs to Remember: Peanuts Song (피너츠송) - Ahn Yong Jun (안용준)
I think I should lower my expectations. Otherwise, things veer off in a different direction, and I end up hot and sweaty by the afternoon.
So let's just start off with waking up. Last night I had a few people message me, talking 'bout random shit. Those people were none other than Ad, my buddy Et, and Ln. I would've probably stayed up 'till 1:00 AM or something if it weren't for them. They were all like "Alright, good night" at around 11:30 PM. And so since everybody was going to sleep around, I might as well.
Probably one of the best decisions of my life. However I still had trouble sleeping. Was it because I'm too used to sleeping at 2:00 AM? Maybe. I shifted my sleeping position a whole bunch of times before I was able to sleep. Even had to turn on the fan on because it felt pretty warm. Woke up multiple times during the night, went back to sleep, ending up waking up at 6:00 AM. I tried going back to sleep, but I couldn't. I basically stayed up for a while 'till 6:30 AM.
During that time I checked Facebook and whatnot to see updates from people. One dude said in a post that our classes were already up on Schoolloop. I was like "Aww yeah" but then I thought about having it be a surprise. "Fuck that shit I wanna know now", so I went on as quickly as I could and bam. Saw my schedule and teachers. I was actually happy with the whole thing, well, at first glance. That was until I actually entered the classrooms and some of them kinda made me unhappy with the whole thing.
I was thinking "Wait, why am I going so early" and then I remembered "Oh right, schedules are supposed to be handed out at 7:45 AM". Which, that's when they're supposed to, you can actually get 'em earlier. Anyways, wore a long-sleeved shirt and a white jacket (I always wear a jackets) thinking it was going to be cold. Brang my Bio book and English poster with me (after getting ready, breakfast, all that). Ln actually messaged me saying that there's so many people. I was like "Huh, really?"
During the walk from the back of the school to the main area, I was like "Yep, seen it all before". It was the track and swimming pools. Yeah I didn't really enjoy P.E, heh. As I got to the P.E locker room area, I was like "What the- huh, that's new". They completely removed the portables, the ones that were used as locker rooms for the second half of last year. I'm guessing they finished re-making the locker rooms )the ones that's connected to the gym building).
I noticed there was A LOT of people. It was around 7:30 AM now. I was like "Damn, I knew I should've came earlier". I texted Yn to tell her I was here, at school. She didn't reply and I'm guessing she was busy, so I just went and got my schedule. And yes, it was at the usual place. (room). Went in, the schedules were alphabetized in sections, found mine after seeing 3 schedules of people with like the exact same name as me.
It was the same as I had saw online an hour before, except it had room numbers on 'em. First thing I did, was text Yn if she had chose a locker yet and where she was at. She said she did, at the E building, but didn't say anything after that. So I went on over to look for a locker, preferably at a place where it's relatively close to Yn's locker. She didn't give me specifically what it was, sooo uh, I just looked for a nice spot.
There were no fucking spots. Good ones, anyways, it's like 4 square lockers tall right, and the middle 2 are basically all taken. Most of 'em, anyways. So it was either the top-top one, where I couldn't reach, or the bottom ones, where I gotta crouch down near the ground. These were pretty bad. I looked for ones in the open space between the F and E buildings (as those were kinda the most convenient as basically all my classes are in the E, F, and L buildings (P building portables for Chinese is the only other place).
I decided to just have my locker be at the open space towards the side of the E building. It was basically diagonally across from the E building ones (of the open space area), so, doesn't really make a difference. As I headed on over to look for a locker at the E building, I saw Zi, who was standing in the middle of it all talking to her friend. I was like "Ay Zi" and she was like "Ay". She was like "What's your schedule" so I showed her my schedule.
Apparently we both had the same math class for 4th period, but for some reason, she got changed to a different period. Ah well, boo hoo. I mean whatcha gonna do? So anyways, went on to the E building, found myself a locker, the 3rd-tier-from-the-bottom lockers were all taken, I mean, ALL of 'em, were taken. So, I had to settle for a locker on the 2nd tier, in the middle, which was fine. Locker 219 baby.
Put my Bio book in there, my poster (which just so happened to fit), and uh, headed on out to take a look at where my classes are. So, 1st period, AP Psychology, in room F20. I, for the love of me, could not find room F20. I saw all the F's, and the spot from F21, to F22, and back to F01. As I was circling the F building, I ran into my buddy Drew (the dude without glasses). Apparently he's still here, I'm guessing he didnt move that far away. Anyways, I went towards F01 to ask where F20 was. And holy hell, there was a huge-ass line extending from the theater to the F building. I was like "Oh, this is where people who didn't get to register, register". Didn't remember seeing that last year, or even a line that big. Hmm.
So I went into F01 after slicing through the huge line (which got longer afterwards). Apparently I was a bit anxious, so I accidentally asked where "L20" was instead. *sigh* Fucking Drew. I then asked again, except this time it was F20. She said straight down and to the left.
Well, I went out the door, happen to see Ic (from last year's Chinese class) standing in line. I was like "What are you doing here? Oh right, you were in Japan right". Yeah, he was in Japan so he missed registration day. That's the price to pay if you get to go to Japan. Anyways, chatted with him for a bit, went off to find F20. Out of nowhere my buddy Ec comes and he's like "Sup". I was like "I can't find F20". Took about 10 seconds after I said that and we found it. Fucking Drew, man.
We walk for bit, umm, basically 'till the bell rings. I came across my World History teacher from last year. I was "Ayyy". I think she remembered me. As I was walking to 1st period, I was like "Yep, this morning didn't really go as I expected it to". I get in to F20 (which was located like, right behind the huge-ass line from before, probably why I couldn't find it) and expected to see a lot of people I knew. A big "nope". I saw little neon-colored pieces of paper on almost every desk so I thought "Oh, must be assigned seats. As in, find your name and sit at that desk". I looked all around for "Drew".
I asked if there were assigned seats, the teacher said "Nope, just sit at any place where's a colored piece of paper". Well, it was 1st period, and in my anxiety, I mistook it for "Sit at the spot where your name is on the colored piece of paper". Holy fuck, Drew. Well it took me a while, but I just sat at a desk near the back (it was a very small classroom). And then as the teacher explained it to another student who just camr through the door, my mind finally clicked and I moved to this seat that had the stupid paper on it.
When everybody got in, umm, the teacher introduced herself a little bit, I saw a fair amount of delinquents in this class who seemed like they just wanted an easy AP class. Probably seniors or something, I've never seen 'em in my life. Anyways, the teacher then starts with an ice breaker. FUCKING WHY. This shit has got to be the most cringiest things ever. The ideas are just edgy, and having me talk to the people whom I have no interest in becoming buddies with (about, 3/4 of the class) is not going to change my mind.
The ice breaker was that those pieces of papers had names on 'em (of people, not related to our class Drew). We had to find the person who had the matching name and sit with them. The names were like "Bonnie, Clyde, Brad, Pitt, Calvin, Hobbes, etc". So let's say I have "Brad". I had to find a person who had "Pitt" written on their stupid piece of paper. I, had what seemed to be "Pinky". I was like "Huh, is it really? Or is it 'Puinky'". It was cursive, and it said "Pinky", and I thought the names were like, of celebrities or famous real-life people.
I asked the teacher what it said and she said "Pinky". I was like "Oh fuck me, what name has 'Pinky' in it". But good thing I have some bootleg memory because I remembered at that moment "Ohhhhh, Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain...". Fuck me this is so stupid. Most people didn't know what their names were. People had "Calvin and Hobbes" or "Bonnie and Clyde". I figured those out in a second. But "Pinky"? Nah I gotta dig that one outta my memory.
Turns out nobody had "Brain" (it was on a desk by itself), so she had me and this one other girl sit together since we didn't have a match. Then she revealed on the board what the colors meant on each paper. If we had pink papers, we had to tell the other person what super-powers we would have. If yellow, we'd tell what place we'd want to go, etc. There were about 4 colors. This, is, so, fucking, cringy. My partner and I chose the yellow one (since she had yellow, I had pink, so we could choose whichever) since it was the easiest to remember. "What is your favorite color?". Fucking bootleg.
So we introduced ourselves "Hi, I'm Drew", etc, etc, "My favorite color is green", etc, etc. We then had to be in groups of 4, then introduce our partner to the other partners. FUCK, IT NEVER ENDS. So we did the thingy, etc, etc. God damn these ice breakers make me wanna transfer out of the class just because of it. After the cringiness was over, we moved on to actual shit that had to do with AP Psychology. In our group of 4 (holy fuck really), we were to write on a whiteboard, what we think Psychology is. "The study of the fucking mind".
Etc, etc, this shit is so cringy I don't wanna talk about it anywhere. Move on please. We did it for another question, then after that, we could move back to our original seats, if we wanted. Wh-wh- fffff. I don't- I don't even, alright? So after the dude that I actually knew moved back to his original seat, my partner stayed, the dude's partner stayed where she was, I didn't wanna move because I didn't wanna seem like an ass. We finally moved on to actual stuff. Nope just kidding, we get arts & crafty.
We had to draw an outline of our hand on a piece of paper. The teacher then showed this mnemonic device shit (fucking bootleg as hell), having to do with our hands. She said to hold out our thumb (like a thumbs up), and point it to the back of us. That stood for "Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic". As in, shit that happened in the past. The next finger, the index finger, we pointed it to our head. It meant "Cognitive", thinking.
And of course, the middle finger. The teacher just put it up like it was nothing. I was like "Ohohh, okay, that's good, that's bootleg, I give you that one, heh". She's like "I'm not flipping you guys off, this stands for behavioral". I forgot what that meant, something 'bout the middle finger and offensiveness but uh, yeah. The rest weren't that important. And uh, yeah. She then had us write that shit down on the fingers of the hand we drew and we were supposed to cut 'em out. And like, draw pics and shit on 'em.
We didn't have enough time anyways. She also included that her boyfriend's husband has only a limited time to live so she's not going to be here tomorrow. We'll just be getting our textbooks, and uh, yeah, unfortunately. But yeah, I only knew 1/5 of the class, and all the people I knew sat basically close to one another. The rest I didn't have interest with, or, sat too far from me, or, seniors. Not the ones I'd hang out with though.
And then came 2nd period. I went to my locker (the place was surprisngly empty) and got my poster. Located at E13, I was of the first few in. The teacher was a male, so that was different. I never had many male teachers, so it was nice for a change. I was looking for a place to sit, umm, the room was fairly small, and the desks were formatted in a bootleg way I've never seen before. I just sat not too much in the back, not too much in front. Actually, I saw a buddy of mine from Chemistry last year, who sat down, so I decided to sit next to her.
Soon more people came in, I saw A LOT, of people I knew. Around, ehhh, 3/4? My buddy, the other Drew (with the glasses) was here, his buddy as well, Js, ummm, a dude from my Chinese class, uhhh, some others, and uh, yeah I kinda forgot, heh. Everybody's a Junior so of course we'd know each other. After everyone got in, the teacher did attendance and then showed us a slideshow about the class, Honors English, himself, etc. As he was speaking though, I noticed he looked a lot like Rhett, from Rhett and Link. If it weren't for the calmer voice, he would've been a very good Rhett clone. I think it's just the beard though.
Anyways, he explains how's he taught in all grades, uhhh, taught basically in a lot of places, some, high-standard places, don't really remember because of all the big organization names, uh, yeah. Honors English, this is the shit that caught my attention. He said, recently the board of education contacted our school to tell us to stop giving students A+'s in these big classes (like Honors). They said it was impossible to get an A+. He even said that our school tried to convince 'em, but they were pretty adamant about it. I was like "HOLY SHIT". Well, good bye world. Well, it wasn't like I was gonna get an A+ in Honors English anyways, heh.
Umm, he had use do this bootleg questionnaire to help teach us better. Basically it was those bootleg personality things, you check off stuff that applies to you, the most in a category and you're that or something. He also had us write our name, our birth date, the results from the bootleg quiz, and our favorite number, on an index card. And on the back, to write a couple quotes we think are best (from our poster). Why our favorite number? I have no idea. That was honestly the hardest thing so far today, in terms of choice. "Hmmm, I could be an ass and write 21, but I'm feeling a 23, or maybe I should do the OG 58?".
Towards the end of class, he collected all the posters and had us move around and shit and discuss quotes with one another. I gotta say, I got my eye out on a couple people. Okay, one, ya got me. Didn't even get her name. Haven't seen her in my life though. And uh, yeah, that was Honors English. We got a test tomorrow on the Joy Luck Club on quotes and the story (even the teacher said the names were kinda confusing. Like, am I right? Fucking, mother's mother's boyfriend's daughter. Holy shit).
After that, it was break time. I first went back to the place where I've always hung out. My buddies were of course there. I ran into Ek (not literally) on the way there. I'm guessing she doesn't hang out there anymore, which is fine. It's always time for change. And uhh, after a bit of calming myself, I went ahead and walked around, seeing if I could find Yn. She, doesn't respond at all really to my texts, but when she does, it's like, during class time, and you know I don't do that shit. So, I walked around a bit, I saw Ln on the way around, which was cool. Didn't see Yn though.
Bell rang, it was time for 3rd period, AP Biology. Room L46, good thing I found it in the morning so I didn't have to scramble to find it. The room had a, Biology, atmosphere to it. Really it, was pretty much the exact same as the Biology classroom from freshman year Biology. *shudders*. Anyways, most of the seats were taken, ehhh, I didn't feel like sitting next to someone (the seats were the same way arranged as like Chemistry last year. 2 seats next to each other, like, 6 columns of seats, around 5 down seats each column). Not every seat was filled though. I decided to sit near the front, with an empty seat next to me. When no more people came, and this random girl sat next to this hot girl that I saw but didn't sit next to because I thought she reserved for someone and because I think I know her.
First thing when I saw the teacher. "Damn". That's all I gotta say, say no more. She starts talking 'bout AP Bio shit, etc, etc, her webiste (weebly of course), etc, etc, and how them teachers are trying to make it a bit easier for us. And uh, yeah, pretty much. I was expecting Ek and/or Ag to be here, but, nope. The teacher took attendance and called out Ek's name. I was like "Holy fuck, she better be busy waiting in line to fix her schedule or something". And uh, the teacher passed out some shit, explained some shit, etc. She also said she thought about quitting teaching, just this summer. She came back for a part-time job, teaching only 2 periods, but missed it so much she decided to come back for good.
She seems like a pretty good teacher. And no shitty ice-breakers? I like it. So yeah, the homework for today? Finish the bootleg AP Bio summer assignment. I was like "Wow, holy fucking generosity dude". She also said we didn't need to bring our textbooks to class, so I was just like "Holy shit, not fucking bad yo. You're my favorite so far". Seriously, I could not be more thankful. Well yeah, I could, if only Ek or Ag freaking showed up, heh.
The bell rang and it was time for 4th period. Yes, Honors Pre-Cal. Also known as "I'm kinda more worried about this class now than AP Biology or Honors English". I walked in, one of the first few people there. Ahhh, the feeling of being back in that classroom. Same teacher as last year, my arch-nemesis. I thought I was done with this teacher, but uh, guess not, heh. Just one more fucking year, and it'll all be pretty much, go to school, do shit outside of it. Like, college applications. Anyways, I sat down, just, somewhere in the middle. Then the teacher tells me to come up, so I can see the seating chart. The other people got up to see as well. Soon other people came in, we're all trying to look at this small-ass Mac screen, and on it was a a Microsoft Word document, with tiny boxes with our names in 'em. In tiny, fucking, font. Even with my classes, and standing a foot away from the screen, I could barely see it. After making out my name, it seemed I was seated at the back.
Yep. Fuck. I hate being at the very back. Well, everybody else came in, they sat where they were supposed to sit. I see a lot of the same people from last year's Algebra II/Trig class. People like that one girl who sat in front of me, At, my buddy Drew (the one with glasses), and other people I know were like, all in one spot, the lower left corner next to the door. Even Jc was here. I didn't recognize her at first, but then she was like "Drew!" and I was like "Ayyy Jc". Not sure how the seating chart was made, but I was like "Oh come on, you gonna put all the cool people over there huh, and have this side be the meh people". Anyways, the teacher does the usual stuff, the same basically as last year, talking about the score sheet, how we had to have a separate binder, etc. I was like "Yep, just like how I remembered it". But wait, there's more. If I hadn't known it was Honors Pre-Cal, the teacher made sure I did know. We all had a bootleg quiz. Just, just to see what we knew. I was like "Just end me, right here, right now. Where's a katana so I can commit Sudoku?".
But really, the quiz was fucking, holy shit. Thank goodness the teacher said we can skip questions we didn't know, because I would've been on the 1st question 'till HalfLife 3 comes out. I either didn't get the first question or forgot, probably both. The rest, were, in my opinion I'd say I forgot 'em. Except for the sin and cos stuff. Well, yeah I kinda forgot just a little bit. I had answers, but weren't confident in my methods, if they were the correct way. You know what? Bootleg, okay? Towards the end of class, the teacher collected all the quizzes and said "Do you guys think I should grade these? Have it be the first test/quiz of the year?". I was just like "Go ahead, do it. I've got nothing to live for, I ain't afraid to die!". No but umm, the, the quiz was fairly difficult as I wasn't exactly ready, heh.
And so it was lunchtime. I went to my usual spot again, just to have my lunch. I didn't plan on staying there, for the rest of the year even. Maybe sometimes, but, I needed something different. Just sitting there, eating my lunch, reading Reddit on my phone, I was just like "Why am I doing this here when I could do this at home". It was true. So, I walked around. Just, walking around again. After I got near to the F building, I see in front of me Ek, Ag, and Jk. I was like "Oh hey" and they were all like "Ayyy". Ek invited me to walk with them, I was gonna do it anyways but, yeah. Now these kind of surprises, I'm liking. I asked Ek why she wasn't at 3rd period Biology. She said she switched from 3rd to 4th period, where Ag is. I was like "Wow" (she later explained that she had 2 3rd period classes, so she got to choose if she wanted AP Bio to be 3rd or 4th period). We went to visit this bootleg science classroom. I, never had this teacher so, ehhh. Neither did Jk. We then went back to Jk's locker to find Jv, you know, that guy from Badminton. He wasn't there, Jk kept on trying to ship Ah and Jv together. I'm just like "FUCK". On the inside of course.
The bell rang, looks like it was time for 5th period. Yes, U.S History. With none other than, drum roll please... my geography teacher! You know, the one who told lots of stories and advice and perspective on life. Pretty, pretty insightful. Anyways, I was contemplating on sitting in my old seat again. But uh, a couple of people, this girl (who was sorta my buddy back in 6th grade) and her buddy sat at these desks to the left side of the room, so I decided as well to sit there. And uh, an old classmate from 9th grade English class sat next to me. She was like " Oh hey Drew" and I was like "Hey". Sucks that Js walked in after her, before I saw her. But it doesn't matter, okay, it doesn't matter.
After everyone got in, I look around, the teacher looks around. I see my neighborin the class, the one who lives next to my house, heh. I also see, umm, one of those twins from 9th grade English/10th grade Chemistry. I really cannot differentiate between which, because I forgot. I also saw that one girl from my Bio class in 9th grade. And uh, Js. Yeah, oh boy that was fun while it lasted. So uh, yeah. I also see delinquents as well, uhh, some who are like, seniors, maybe. I don't know. Anyways, the teacher dude starts talking about U.S History, and life, and uhhh. Well, life and his personal opinion. I was like "Aahhh, yep. Just like how I remembered."
After a bit of talking, he moves some people a bit around, and uh, passes out the syllabus. Yes, the syllabus. He goes over it, explains some stuff, just a bit more about life, aaand uh, some of the things around the classroom. His classroom is by the most decorative I've ever seen, ever. In any other classroom I bet. He's got posters on posters on posters. He's got student made stuff, pictures, photos of his classes students, past students, current students, a fucking Pillsbury doughboy statue thing in the back. Fucking lord, it's as decorative as it gets. Anyways, uhhh, he talks a bit more about the class, ummm, some back story of where he came from, just his life, our life, in general, ummm, just the usual, heh. Good news is, I finally got to relax in a class today.
Bell rings, it's finally 6th period. Chinese 2 baby. As I came out 5th period, I was like "Awww fuck, this shit's far as hell". From the F building, to the P building portables. As I was walking there,almost there, I see El in front of me. I'm like "What the shit ain't she supposed to have P.E this year since she's in an academy". But then I was like "Oh, she did P.E freshman year, then language and language then P.E. Oh. Well, whatever makes the series more interesting I suppose. I see there's already a line in front of the door. I see a lot of people (whom actually seem interesting), though about half I don't know. I get in line, and as I'm standing there, I could see this girl coming over. I was like "Hey, that's that one girl who dated Jv for a bit and the one who does bootleg rhymes or whatever on Instagram and Facebook". She was in the class. Anyways, I was really, really hoping to see my Chinese teacher from last year. And yep, she was there, hugging everybody coming through the door. I was so relieves to see her again, heh, believe it or not. Definitely did not want anybody else teaching me Chinese besides her.
I sit down at an empty table with Jk, who was there. He recommended I sit behind him though. Why? Not sure, but probably to have a chick sit next to him. And well, El came through the door, Jk was all like "Ayyy" and motioned her to sit next to him. She looked excited at first, seeing Jk, but then she sorta backed up a bit after seeing me. I was like "Heh, is this going to be a running joke now? How it ends up me and her having to sit next to each other?" Fucking bootleg. She sits next to him anyways. I was pretty comfortable in my spot regardless, but then the teacher was like "No empty seats" and had me move to the empty seat at the front near the door, to the right side of the classroom, in seat, numero 1.
I actually had a good view of everybody in the class. I didn't know half of 'em really, heh. It was mostly like, sophomores. I knew about 1/5 people here, and that's mostly from that, they were in my Chinese class last year. The mood was nice though. Everybody was cheery. Well, for the most part. I noticed this one dude, he seemed like he's popular around these sophties. I just, made up that word on the spot, heh. Not sure if it is a real word. Anyways, the teacher explains a little bit about her summer, some good news, some bad news, etc. She didn't say anything about retiring though. I'm guessing, it was just a false rumor? She didn't mention anything about it. Huh. Anyways, she has people come up and talk about what they did over the summer. Most of them were really, really, cringey. Not gonna lie. This dude used the word "game" as a verb. Like, "I 'gamed' over the summer". *shudders*. Then there was thus girl who was like "So I need your guys' help, there's this Larry quest and like I need more people in order to open this portal. Over the summer I got into gaming, I got to level 80 in 2 days" and I was just like "Right after you said level 80, I know it's fucking Maplestory. But, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt". Some people ask her what the game was. "Maplestory". "You fucking hoe".
And then there was that guy I said who looked like the head-honcho of these people. He said he acted in a movie or something, that he was an actor and is hoping to pursue further. He was also like "I've been talking to the producer" and stuff. He was like "Hitman 3 guys, see it when it comes out". I'm like "You fucking bitch there is no trace of this movie in the entire universe" (it's apparently like, a Chinese movie? Or something). But, I do like his style. And uh, yeah. The teacher talks a bit about, whatever.
And the bell rings, people exit, I head over to the line to turn in locker forms. The line was kinda long, but not as long. And then uh, the office thing just decided to collect 'em, just hand 'em to her. Seriously, why are they so inefficient. As I was waiting in line (before they decided to use an effective method of collecting forms), I saw Em, with her blonde-blackish hair. She didn't hear me in all the commotion, didn't see me. But hey, at least I saw her, and that accounts for everybody, everybody except Yn. Who, apparently worked the cash register during brunch or something. Bootleg.
And now, it's finally over, the first episode of The Days. Pretty interesting, diverse cast, unidentified characters, new plots coming up, I got high hopes. It may not seem as explosive as 100% Chance of Bad, but hey, it'll be more explosive as the series goes on, just gotta give it time. So, what do I think of my classes? Some were bootleg, some didn't have the kevek of bootleg I wished they had. But I'm giving 'em some time, of course it's only the first episode. Still a lot more of these days to go by. On a side note, spent around 3 or more hours in total writing all this. Holy. I'll see ya.
Week: 1
Songs to Remember: Peanuts Song (피너츠송) - Ahn Yong Jun (안용준)
I think I should lower my expectations. Otherwise, things veer off in a different direction, and I end up hot and sweaty by the afternoon.
So let's just start off with waking up. Last night I had a few people message me, talking 'bout random shit. Those people were none other than Ad, my buddy Et, and Ln. I would've probably stayed up 'till 1:00 AM or something if it weren't for them. They were all like "Alright, good night" at around 11:30 PM. And so since everybody was going to sleep around, I might as well.
Probably one of the best decisions of my life. However I still had trouble sleeping. Was it because I'm too used to sleeping at 2:00 AM? Maybe. I shifted my sleeping position a whole bunch of times before I was able to sleep. Even had to turn on the fan on because it felt pretty warm. Woke up multiple times during the night, went back to sleep, ending up waking up at 6:00 AM. I tried going back to sleep, but I couldn't. I basically stayed up for a while 'till 6:30 AM.
During that time I checked Facebook and whatnot to see updates from people. One dude said in a post that our classes were already up on Schoolloop. I was like "Aww yeah" but then I thought about having it be a surprise. "Fuck that shit I wanna know now", so I went on as quickly as I could and bam. Saw my schedule and teachers. I was actually happy with the whole thing, well, at first glance. That was until I actually entered the classrooms and some of them kinda made me unhappy with the whole thing.
I was thinking "Wait, why am I going so early" and then I remembered "Oh right, schedules are supposed to be handed out at 7:45 AM". Which, that's when they're supposed to, you can actually get 'em earlier. Anyways, wore a long-sleeved shirt and a white jacket (I always wear a jackets) thinking it was going to be cold. Brang my Bio book and English poster with me (after getting ready, breakfast, all that). Ln actually messaged me saying that there's so many people. I was like "Huh, really?"
During the walk from the back of the school to the main area, I was like "Yep, seen it all before". It was the track and swimming pools. Yeah I didn't really enjoy P.E, heh. As I got to the P.E locker room area, I was like "What the- huh, that's new". They completely removed the portables, the ones that were used as locker rooms for the second half of last year. I'm guessing they finished re-making the locker rooms )the ones that's connected to the gym building).
I noticed there was A LOT of people. It was around 7:30 AM now. I was like "Damn, I knew I should've came earlier". I texted Yn to tell her I was here, at school. She didn't reply and I'm guessing she was busy, so I just went and got my schedule. And yes, it was at the usual place. (room). Went in, the schedules were alphabetized in sections, found mine after seeing 3 schedules of people with like the exact same name as me.
It was the same as I had saw online an hour before, except it had room numbers on 'em. First thing I did, was text Yn if she had chose a locker yet and where she was at. She said she did, at the E building, but didn't say anything after that. So I went on over to look for a locker, preferably at a place where it's relatively close to Yn's locker. She didn't give me specifically what it was, sooo uh, I just looked for a nice spot.
There were no fucking spots. Good ones, anyways, it's like 4 square lockers tall right, and the middle 2 are basically all taken. Most of 'em, anyways. So it was either the top-top one, where I couldn't reach, or the bottom ones, where I gotta crouch down near the ground. These were pretty bad. I looked for ones in the open space between the F and E buildings (as those were kinda the most convenient as basically all my classes are in the E, F, and L buildings (P building portables for Chinese is the only other place).
I decided to just have my locker be at the open space towards the side of the E building. It was basically diagonally across from the E building ones (of the open space area), so, doesn't really make a difference. As I headed on over to look for a locker at the E building, I saw Zi, who was standing in the middle of it all talking to her friend. I was like "Ay Zi" and she was like "Ay". She was like "What's your schedule" so I showed her my schedule.
Apparently we both had the same math class for 4th period, but for some reason, she got changed to a different period. Ah well, boo hoo. I mean whatcha gonna do? So anyways, went on to the E building, found myself a locker, the 3rd-tier-from-the-bottom lockers were all taken, I mean, ALL of 'em, were taken. So, I had to settle for a locker on the 2nd tier, in the middle, which was fine. Locker 219 baby.
Put my Bio book in there, my poster (which just so happened to fit), and uh, headed on out to take a look at where my classes are. So, 1st period, AP Psychology, in room F20. I, for the love of me, could not find room F20. I saw all the F's, and the spot from F21, to F22, and back to F01. As I was circling the F building, I ran into my buddy Drew (the dude without glasses). Apparently he's still here, I'm guessing he didnt move that far away. Anyways, I went towards F01 to ask where F20 was. And holy hell, there was a huge-ass line extending from the theater to the F building. I was like "Oh, this is where people who didn't get to register, register". Didn't remember seeing that last year, or even a line that big. Hmm.
So I went into F01 after slicing through the huge line (which got longer afterwards). Apparently I was a bit anxious, so I accidentally asked where "L20" was instead. *sigh* Fucking Drew. I then asked again, except this time it was F20. She said straight down and to the left.
Well, I went out the door, happen to see Ic (from last year's Chinese class) standing in line. I was like "What are you doing here? Oh right, you were in Japan right". Yeah, he was in Japan so he missed registration day. That's the price to pay if you get to go to Japan. Anyways, chatted with him for a bit, went off to find F20. Out of nowhere my buddy Ec comes and he's like "Sup". I was like "I can't find F20". Took about 10 seconds after I said that and we found it. Fucking Drew, man.
We walk for bit, umm, basically 'till the bell rings. I came across my World History teacher from last year. I was "Ayyy". I think she remembered me. As I was walking to 1st period, I was like "Yep, this morning didn't really go as I expected it to". I get in to F20 (which was located like, right behind the huge-ass line from before, probably why I couldn't find it) and expected to see a lot of people I knew. A big "nope". I saw little neon-colored pieces of paper on almost every desk so I thought "Oh, must be assigned seats. As in, find your name and sit at that desk". I looked all around for "Drew".
I asked if there were assigned seats, the teacher said "Nope, just sit at any place where's a colored piece of paper". Well, it was 1st period, and in my anxiety, I mistook it for "Sit at the spot where your name is on the colored piece of paper". Holy fuck, Drew. Well it took me a while, but I just sat at a desk near the back (it was a very small classroom). And then as the teacher explained it to another student who just camr through the door, my mind finally clicked and I moved to this seat that had the stupid paper on it.
When everybody got in, umm, the teacher introduced herself a little bit, I saw a fair amount of delinquents in this class who seemed like they just wanted an easy AP class. Probably seniors or something, I've never seen 'em in my life. Anyways, the teacher then starts with an ice breaker. FUCKING WHY. This shit has got to be the most cringiest things ever. The ideas are just edgy, and having me talk to the people whom I have no interest in becoming buddies with (about, 3/4 of the class) is not going to change my mind.
The ice breaker was that those pieces of papers had names on 'em (of people, not related to our class Drew). We had to find the person who had the matching name and sit with them. The names were like "Bonnie, Clyde, Brad, Pitt, Calvin, Hobbes, etc". So let's say I have "Brad". I had to find a person who had "Pitt" written on their stupid piece of paper. I, had what seemed to be "Pinky". I was like "Huh, is it really? Or is it 'Puinky'". It was cursive, and it said "Pinky", and I thought the names were like, of celebrities or famous real-life people.
I asked the teacher what it said and she said "Pinky". I was like "Oh fuck me, what name has 'Pinky' in it". But good thing I have some bootleg memory because I remembered at that moment "Ohhhhh, Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain...". Fuck me this is so stupid. Most people didn't know what their names were. People had "Calvin and Hobbes" or "Bonnie and Clyde". I figured those out in a second. But "Pinky"? Nah I gotta dig that one outta my memory.
Turns out nobody had "Brain" (it was on a desk by itself), so she had me and this one other girl sit together since we didn't have a match. Then she revealed on the board what the colors meant on each paper. If we had pink papers, we had to tell the other person what super-powers we would have. If yellow, we'd tell what place we'd want to go, etc. There were about 4 colors. This, is, so, fucking, cringy. My partner and I chose the yellow one (since she had yellow, I had pink, so we could choose whichever) since it was the easiest to remember. "What is your favorite color?". Fucking bootleg.
So we introduced ourselves "Hi, I'm Drew", etc, etc, "My favorite color is green", etc, etc. We then had to be in groups of 4, then introduce our partner to the other partners. FUCK, IT NEVER ENDS. So we did the thingy, etc, etc. God damn these ice breakers make me wanna transfer out of the class just because of it. After the cringiness was over, we moved on to actual shit that had to do with AP Psychology. In our group of 4 (holy fuck really), we were to write on a whiteboard, what we think Psychology is. "The study of the fucking mind".
Etc, etc, this shit is so cringy I don't wanna talk about it anywhere. Move on please. We did it for another question, then after that, we could move back to our original seats, if we wanted. Wh-wh- fffff. I don't- I don't even, alright? So after the dude that I actually knew moved back to his original seat, my partner stayed, the dude's partner stayed where she was, I didn't wanna move because I didn't wanna seem like an ass. We finally moved on to actual stuff. Nope just kidding, we get arts & crafty.
We had to draw an outline of our hand on a piece of paper. The teacher then showed this mnemonic device shit (fucking bootleg as hell), having to do with our hands. She said to hold out our thumb (like a thumbs up), and point it to the back of us. That stood for "Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic". As in, shit that happened in the past. The next finger, the index finger, we pointed it to our head. It meant "Cognitive", thinking.
And of course, the middle finger. The teacher just put it up like it was nothing. I was like "Ohohh, okay, that's good, that's bootleg, I give you that one, heh". She's like "I'm not flipping you guys off, this stands for behavioral". I forgot what that meant, something 'bout the middle finger and offensiveness but uh, yeah. The rest weren't that important. And uh, yeah. She then had us write that shit down on the fingers of the hand we drew and we were supposed to cut 'em out. And like, draw pics and shit on 'em.
We didn't have enough time anyways. She also included that her boyfriend's husband has only a limited time to live so she's not going to be here tomorrow. We'll just be getting our textbooks, and uh, yeah, unfortunately. But yeah, I only knew 1/5 of the class, and all the people I knew sat basically close to one another. The rest I didn't have interest with, or, sat too far from me, or, seniors. Not the ones I'd hang out with though.
And then came 2nd period. I went to my locker (the place was surprisngly empty) and got my poster. Located at E13, I was of the first few in. The teacher was a male, so that was different. I never had many male teachers, so it was nice for a change. I was looking for a place to sit, umm, the room was fairly small, and the desks were formatted in a bootleg way I've never seen before. I just sat not too much in the back, not too much in front. Actually, I saw a buddy of mine from Chemistry last year, who sat down, so I decided to sit next to her.
Soon more people came in, I saw A LOT, of people I knew. Around, ehhh, 3/4? My buddy, the other Drew (with the glasses) was here, his buddy as well, Js, ummm, a dude from my Chinese class, uhhh, some others, and uh, yeah I kinda forgot, heh. Everybody's a Junior so of course we'd know each other. After everyone got in, the teacher did attendance and then showed us a slideshow about the class, Honors English, himself, etc. As he was speaking though, I noticed he looked a lot like Rhett, from Rhett and Link. If it weren't for the calmer voice, he would've been a very good Rhett clone. I think it's just the beard though.
Anyways, he explains how's he taught in all grades, uhhh, taught basically in a lot of places, some, high-standard places, don't really remember because of all the big organization names, uh, yeah. Honors English, this is the shit that caught my attention. He said, recently the board of education contacted our school to tell us to stop giving students A+'s in these big classes (like Honors). They said it was impossible to get an A+. He even said that our school tried to convince 'em, but they were pretty adamant about it. I was like "HOLY SHIT". Well, good bye world. Well, it wasn't like I was gonna get an A+ in Honors English anyways, heh.
Umm, he had use do this bootleg questionnaire to help teach us better. Basically it was those bootleg personality things, you check off stuff that applies to you, the most in a category and you're that or something. He also had us write our name, our birth date, the results from the bootleg quiz, and our favorite number, on an index card. And on the back, to write a couple quotes we think are best (from our poster). Why our favorite number? I have no idea. That was honestly the hardest thing so far today, in terms of choice. "Hmmm, I could be an ass and write 21, but I'm feeling a 23, or maybe I should do the OG 58?".
Towards the end of class, he collected all the posters and had us move around and shit and discuss quotes with one another. I gotta say, I got my eye out on a couple people. Okay, one, ya got me. Didn't even get her name. Haven't seen her in my life though. And uh, yeah, that was Honors English. We got a test tomorrow on the Joy Luck Club on quotes and the story (even the teacher said the names were kinda confusing. Like, am I right? Fucking, mother's mother's boyfriend's daughter. Holy shit).
After that, it was break time. I first went back to the place where I've always hung out. My buddies were of course there. I ran into Ek (not literally) on the way there. I'm guessing she doesn't hang out there anymore, which is fine. It's always time for change. And uhh, after a bit of calming myself, I went ahead and walked around, seeing if I could find Yn. She, doesn't respond at all really to my texts, but when she does, it's like, during class time, and you know I don't do that shit. So, I walked around a bit, I saw Ln on the way around, which was cool. Didn't see Yn though.
Bell rang, it was time for 3rd period, AP Biology. Room L46, good thing I found it in the morning so I didn't have to scramble to find it. The room had a, Biology, atmosphere to it. Really it, was pretty much the exact same as the Biology classroom from freshman year Biology. *shudders*. Anyways, most of the seats were taken, ehhh, I didn't feel like sitting next to someone (the seats were the same way arranged as like Chemistry last year. 2 seats next to each other, like, 6 columns of seats, around 5 down seats each column). Not every seat was filled though. I decided to sit near the front, with an empty seat next to me. When no more people came, and this random girl sat next to this hot girl that I saw but didn't sit next to because I thought she reserved for someone and because I think I know her.
First thing when I saw the teacher. "Damn". That's all I gotta say, say no more. She starts talking 'bout AP Bio shit, etc, etc, her webiste (weebly of course), etc, etc, and how them teachers are trying to make it a bit easier for us. And uh, yeah, pretty much. I was expecting Ek and/or Ag to be here, but, nope. The teacher took attendance and called out Ek's name. I was like "Holy fuck, she better be busy waiting in line to fix her schedule or something". And uh, the teacher passed out some shit, explained some shit, etc. She also said she thought about quitting teaching, just this summer. She came back for a part-time job, teaching only 2 periods, but missed it so much she decided to come back for good.
She seems like a pretty good teacher. And no shitty ice-breakers? I like it. So yeah, the homework for today? Finish the bootleg AP Bio summer assignment. I was like "Wow, holy fucking generosity dude". She also said we didn't need to bring our textbooks to class, so I was just like "Holy shit, not fucking bad yo. You're my favorite so far". Seriously, I could not be more thankful. Well yeah, I could, if only Ek or Ag freaking showed up, heh.
The bell rang and it was time for 4th period. Yes, Honors Pre-Cal. Also known as "I'm kinda more worried about this class now than AP Biology or Honors English". I walked in, one of the first few people there. Ahhh, the feeling of being back in that classroom. Same teacher as last year, my arch-nemesis. I thought I was done with this teacher, but uh, guess not, heh. Just one more fucking year, and it'll all be pretty much, go to school, do shit outside of it. Like, college applications. Anyways, I sat down, just, somewhere in the middle. Then the teacher tells me to come up, so I can see the seating chart. The other people got up to see as well. Soon other people came in, we're all trying to look at this small-ass Mac screen, and on it was a a Microsoft Word document, with tiny boxes with our names in 'em. In tiny, fucking, font. Even with my classes, and standing a foot away from the screen, I could barely see it. After making out my name, it seemed I was seated at the back.
Yep. Fuck. I hate being at the very back. Well, everybody else came in, they sat where they were supposed to sit. I see a lot of the same people from last year's Algebra II/Trig class. People like that one girl who sat in front of me, At, my buddy Drew (the one with glasses), and other people I know were like, all in one spot, the lower left corner next to the door. Even Jc was here. I didn't recognize her at first, but then she was like "Drew!" and I was like "Ayyy Jc". Not sure how the seating chart was made, but I was like "Oh come on, you gonna put all the cool people over there huh, and have this side be the meh people". Anyways, the teacher does the usual stuff, the same basically as last year, talking about the score sheet, how we had to have a separate binder, etc. I was like "Yep, just like how I remembered it". But wait, there's more. If I hadn't known it was Honors Pre-Cal, the teacher made sure I did know. We all had a bootleg quiz. Just, just to see what we knew. I was like "Just end me, right here, right now. Where's a katana so I can commit Sudoku?".
But really, the quiz was fucking, holy shit. Thank goodness the teacher said we can skip questions we didn't know, because I would've been on the 1st question 'till HalfLife 3 comes out. I either didn't get the first question or forgot, probably both. The rest, were, in my opinion I'd say I forgot 'em. Except for the sin and cos stuff. Well, yeah I kinda forgot just a little bit. I had answers, but weren't confident in my methods, if they were the correct way. You know what? Bootleg, okay? Towards the end of class, the teacher collected all the quizzes and said "Do you guys think I should grade these? Have it be the first test/quiz of the year?". I was just like "Go ahead, do it. I've got nothing to live for, I ain't afraid to die!". No but umm, the, the quiz was fairly difficult as I wasn't exactly ready, heh.
And so it was lunchtime. I went to my usual spot again, just to have my lunch. I didn't plan on staying there, for the rest of the year even. Maybe sometimes, but, I needed something different. Just sitting there, eating my lunch, reading Reddit on my phone, I was just like "Why am I doing this here when I could do this at home". It was true. So, I walked around. Just, walking around again. After I got near to the F building, I see in front of me Ek, Ag, and Jk. I was like "Oh hey" and they were all like "Ayyy". Ek invited me to walk with them, I was gonna do it anyways but, yeah. Now these kind of surprises, I'm liking. I asked Ek why she wasn't at 3rd period Biology. She said she switched from 3rd to 4th period, where Ag is. I was like "Wow" (she later explained that she had 2 3rd period classes, so she got to choose if she wanted AP Bio to be 3rd or 4th period). We went to visit this bootleg science classroom. I, never had this teacher so, ehhh. Neither did Jk. We then went back to Jk's locker to find Jv, you know, that guy from Badminton. He wasn't there, Jk kept on trying to ship Ah and Jv together. I'm just like "FUCK". On the inside of course.
The bell rang, looks like it was time for 5th period. Yes, U.S History. With none other than, drum roll please... my geography teacher! You know, the one who told lots of stories and advice and perspective on life. Pretty, pretty insightful. Anyways, I was contemplating on sitting in my old seat again. But uh, a couple of people, this girl (who was sorta my buddy back in 6th grade) and her buddy sat at these desks to the left side of the room, so I decided as well to sit there. And uh, an old classmate from 9th grade English class sat next to me. She was like " Oh hey Drew" and I was like "Hey". Sucks that Js walked in after her, before I saw her. But it doesn't matter, okay, it doesn't matter.
After everyone got in, I look around, the teacher looks around. I see my neighborin the class, the one who lives next to my house, heh. I also see, umm, one of those twins from 9th grade English/10th grade Chemistry. I really cannot differentiate between which, because I forgot. I also saw that one girl from my Bio class in 9th grade. And uh, Js. Yeah, oh boy that was fun while it lasted. So uh, yeah. I also see delinquents as well, uhh, some who are like, seniors, maybe. I don't know. Anyways, the teacher dude starts talking about U.S History, and life, and uhhh. Well, life and his personal opinion. I was like "Aahhh, yep. Just like how I remembered."
After a bit of talking, he moves some people a bit around, and uh, passes out the syllabus. Yes, the syllabus. He goes over it, explains some stuff, just a bit more about life, aaand uh, some of the things around the classroom. His classroom is by the most decorative I've ever seen, ever. In any other classroom I bet. He's got posters on posters on posters. He's got student made stuff, pictures, photos of his classes students, past students, current students, a fucking Pillsbury doughboy statue thing in the back. Fucking lord, it's as decorative as it gets. Anyways, uhhh, he talks a bit more about the class, ummm, some back story of where he came from, just his life, our life, in general, ummm, just the usual, heh. Good news is, I finally got to relax in a class today.
Bell rings, it's finally 6th period. Chinese 2 baby. As I came out 5th period, I was like "Awww fuck, this shit's far as hell". From the F building, to the P building portables. As I was walking there,almost there, I see El in front of me. I'm like "What the shit ain't she supposed to have P.E this year since she's in an academy". But then I was like "Oh, she did P.E freshman year, then language and language then P.E. Oh. Well, whatever makes the series more interesting I suppose. I see there's already a line in front of the door. I see a lot of people (whom actually seem interesting), though about half I don't know. I get in line, and as I'm standing there, I could see this girl coming over. I was like "Hey, that's that one girl who dated Jv for a bit and the one who does bootleg rhymes or whatever on Instagram and Facebook". She was in the class. Anyways, I was really, really hoping to see my Chinese teacher from last year. And yep, she was there, hugging everybody coming through the door. I was so relieves to see her again, heh, believe it or not. Definitely did not want anybody else teaching me Chinese besides her.
I sit down at an empty table with Jk, who was there. He recommended I sit behind him though. Why? Not sure, but probably to have a chick sit next to him. And well, El came through the door, Jk was all like "Ayyy" and motioned her to sit next to him. She looked excited at first, seeing Jk, but then she sorta backed up a bit after seeing me. I was like "Heh, is this going to be a running joke now? How it ends up me and her having to sit next to each other?" Fucking bootleg. She sits next to him anyways. I was pretty comfortable in my spot regardless, but then the teacher was like "No empty seats" and had me move to the empty seat at the front near the door, to the right side of the classroom, in seat, numero 1.
I actually had a good view of everybody in the class. I didn't know half of 'em really, heh. It was mostly like, sophomores. I knew about 1/5 people here, and that's mostly from that, they were in my Chinese class last year. The mood was nice though. Everybody was cheery. Well, for the most part. I noticed this one dude, he seemed like he's popular around these sophties. I just, made up that word on the spot, heh. Not sure if it is a real word. Anyways, the teacher explains a little bit about her summer, some good news, some bad news, etc. She didn't say anything about retiring though. I'm guessing, it was just a false rumor? She didn't mention anything about it. Huh. Anyways, she has people come up and talk about what they did over the summer. Most of them were really, really, cringey. Not gonna lie. This dude used the word "game" as a verb. Like, "I 'gamed' over the summer". *shudders*. Then there was thus girl who was like "So I need your guys' help, there's this Larry quest and like I need more people in order to open this portal. Over the summer I got into gaming, I got to level 80 in 2 days" and I was just like "Right after you said level 80, I know it's fucking Maplestory. But, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt". Some people ask her what the game was. "Maplestory". "You fucking hoe".
And then there was that guy I said who looked like the head-honcho of these people. He said he acted in a movie or something, that he was an actor and is hoping to pursue further. He was also like "I've been talking to the producer" and stuff. He was like "Hitman 3 guys, see it when it comes out". I'm like "You fucking bitch there is no trace of this movie in the entire universe" (it's apparently like, a Chinese movie? Or something). But, I do like his style. And uh, yeah. The teacher talks a bit about, whatever.
And the bell rings, people exit, I head over to the line to turn in locker forms. The line was kinda long, but not as long. And then uh, the office thing just decided to collect 'em, just hand 'em to her. Seriously, why are they so inefficient. As I was waiting in line (before they decided to use an effective method of collecting forms), I saw Em, with her blonde-blackish hair. She didn't hear me in all the commotion, didn't see me. But hey, at least I saw her, and that accounts for everybody, everybody except Yn. Who, apparently worked the cash register during brunch or something. Bootleg.
And now, it's finally over, the first episode of The Days. Pretty interesting, diverse cast, unidentified characters, new plots coming up, I got high hopes. It may not seem as explosive as 100% Chance of Bad, but hey, it'll be more explosive as the series goes on, just gotta give it time. So, what do I think of my classes? Some were bootleg, some didn't have the kevek of bootleg I wished they had. But I'm giving 'em some time, of course it's only the first episode. Still a lot more of these days to go by. On a side note, spent around 3 or more hours in total writing all this. Holy. I'll see ya.
