Songs to Remember: Baby Ride - Luizy, Strange - MASC
It took me until around 2:30 AM, a very hot and sweaty 2:30 AM, but, I managed to finish learning the rest of EXO's "Call Me Baby" and a quick memorization of Monsta X's "Stuck."
I don't think I need to push myself that hard, at least for a while, heh. In the meantime, Dance, is basically just reviewing and learning new stuff step by step, which is a nice pace. As for math, it's just been the same thing, same old. Our grades for that math test were posted, and, surprisingly, I got a nice-ass, 90/100. HOOO. Now that's fucking nice. To be honest I was expecting a high score, but at the same time I was kinda hoping for the worse. Anyways, my grade went up a whopping 8%, bringing me to a nice 85% right now.
No break today since it Wednesday, 3rd period was what you'd expect: me working and focusing on my designs. English, that was actually just reading and discussing this random poem, heh. The teacher wanted us to take a break from all this boring history stuff, and so he just gave us a poem to analyze in groups. I asked to leave 5 minutes before the bell rings to help out with CLOG rush, and I left at around 2 minutes. I'm walking over there, I see some of the main KDT fam setting stuff up. It never really occurred to me "Hmm, I wondered what managing, supporting, and, CLOG promoting felt like," until now.
There were a few miscalculations here and there (which is to be expected) like, the wrong version of the mix was played, or, we ran out of flyers, but umm, it was good. I liked the view, standing behind our table and looking over the sheer amount of people in the vicinity. And yes, I did dance to EXO's "Call Me Baby" and BTS's "Dope" (not to Monsta X's "Stuck" 'cause I was still unsure on the dance). I did wish that I put those songs closer towards the middle of the mix because, people are still getting out of class, going to their lockers, and getting lunch before they go looking at CLOGS.
One of the best things about being secretary, is that you're in charge of the sign-up sheets, and uh, yeah you get to see everybody who signed up. There was a whopping (I wasn't sure how many exactly were gonna sign up) 72 people who've signed up. For an initial number of 72, that's pretty fucking nice. I mean, considering that about 15+ of those are from current KDT members (and me) or former KDT members, and that, about 1/4 are gonna drop out after the 1st meeting, 1/4 will drop out or stop attending practices, and, and about 1/4 will be cut (or drop out) from (or after) the first auditions, not counting those who will be sticking with KDT for sure, it's a good number. And, this is only the 1st day for us, we'll probably get mayber 15+ more tomorrow, or something.
From my point of view, standing there, dancing for 2+ songs, and standing there, I got to see and get updates from people I haven't seen or interacted in a while. That one dude who sat to my right in Intro to Graphic Design during freshman year? And the who also sat to my left in English 2A? Yeah, I saw him. Met him, greeted him. He greeted me actually, because I had no idea who the fuck he was, heh. I was like "How, how does this guy know me? Who is he?" But then the voice, the facial features, it finally clicked and I was like "Ohhh shit, I remember this dude." Seriously, I haven't seen him in like, 2 years, since English 2A, and he looked a lot different. Guess I haven't, 'cause he was able to recognize me, heh.
I also got to see some social circle updates from others. I was like "Oh, so, this is happening now, huh." While the other members were dancing, there was actually a crowd of people watching, which was surprising 'cause that was kinda cool. Anyways, it didn't go as expected, mostly because there were less people browsing CLOGs than there were yesterday, but, it was good. After lunch was Gov, where we did some more discussion, which, ain't always boring. As long as the teacher includes some relevant, or, pop culture stuff, or interesting facts, stories, it ain't boring. However, it's starting to resemble Honors English due to what the teacher plays each time.
He plays this bootleg "Sexy Sax Guy" prank video every single goddamn time, ever since 2 days ago, when we come in. One student asked "How long are you gonna keep playing this?" "For the rest of your lives." And finally, Chinese, where we have people write stuff on the board, with me praying that I don't because I don't understand 1/3 of the words there. I know how to use them, I just, forget which characters mean what. It's just memorization.
Also, looks like I caught something today because my nose has been acting up all day today. It started in 2nd period, and kept on going. Also, Chinese test tomorrow, and, the English Mandela project art is extended 'till Friday, which just means, one more day to procrastinate really.
So tonight, probably gonna practice a bit more of Monsta X's "Stuck," finish up work, that's it. See ya. Also an invite to hang out at this one mall that's 15 minutes away from my house, with a couple of buddies of mine. Not sure if I'll be able to go since it's kinda far, but, we'll see, we'll see. Also depends if certain people are going. Anyways, see ya,

Week: 4
Songs to Remember: Egg - The Garden
Today's not the average today, because today, I essentially had no homework, and that's pretty rare.
Dance was what you'd expect. We change, do exercises, review dances, learn and practice new ones, etc. There was an occurance towards the end of the class. This one freshman girl, who showed up late today, was not allowed to change out and participate (that's the rule. You come too late, you're not allowed to change out and participate. It's fair). So, she was supposed to take notes and stuff on what we did today (like uh, make sure leg is straight for this part, 3 counts for this move, etc).
She didn't take notes though, she instead was either on her phone, or, reading a book. And so, near the end of class, the teacher was like "Where's my notes?" and the student's like "I didn't take any." Mind you, she's taken dancing classes before (like, actual dance classes, knows a bit about the stuff we're doing), and she's a freshman. So, she starts talking back to the teacher. The argument went on for a good 10+ minutes, us dudes while we were changing, we're whispering like "What the fuck," heh. It was pretty extreme the lengths this kid was trying to argue her points and not just accept that she's in this class for a reason.
Because like, you're in this class, and, you don't get to participate because you came in late. Okay, you're still in the class right? It doesn't become a "free" period, you gotta go with the rules and the rules are, you just gotta take notes. And so, their argument dealt with like, it's not her fault she gets to school late, all she can do is "try" to get to school earlier, that's all she "can" do. The student asks the teacher like "Do you drive to school? Hmmm?" and the teacher's like "Uh yeah, I drive myself each day, 1 hour early, from Blank city each day, just to get here on time." Ahh, freshmen. Even for me, like, in Digital Art class, I sorta know all the basics plus some, and, I don't try to act like I know "everything," because I don't. And when the teacher's giving us some examples and tips, I turn around and listen, not rush ahead, and give him respect. 'Cause although I already get the concept of the example of tip the teacher's showing, I still pay attention and give him my time, 'cause if I don't, it's kind of a dick move, heh.
But anyways, that was something alright. Math was thankfully not too bad. The test was much easier than what I encounter in last year's math class (way more difficult). I had about 20 minutes to spare (out of the whole period), and there weren't that many questions, and half were multiple choice. Although it was sorta short, it is out of 90 points, so, I guess the teacher's going for a high-risk, high-reward sorta system. It's like my Bio teacher's 2-question quiz, in which, you either get 100% or an F on it. But yeah, I'm still not too overconfident yet on this stuff, because I know this is kind of just review for now. Until we get to real Calculus concepts, I won't know for sure the real difficulty of her tests.
Break was what'd you expect, Digital Art, was, what you'd expect, heh. The teacher went on a bit longer on examples, and uhh, I kinda just wanted some more time to work on my design, but it's whatever. I like just having a single block of concentration, rather than, focusing on what I'm doing, planning ahead, and then having to drop it for a bit to listen. Anyways, English, was, just another lecture day. We take notes, yeah. The teacher's a cool person, it's just that the material is just not that enticing, I mean, Anglo-saxons, jutes, coming into America, the fall of Rome, you know? Just, not that fun. However, around the last 10 minutes of the period, the teacher told us a bit about the class pet, which is this gecko a student gave to him for his birthday about a week or so ago. Now that was fun, heh.
Lunch was pretty normal, with me heading on over to the lockers to go with Ag to the line for lunch. Waiting, getting lunch, then heading over to the table with the cast. Also, today was the 1st day of CLOG rush, the thing that I was pretty hyped for. 'Course, KDT did not get a spot for today (unfortunately) but will for tomorrow and Thursday. I didn't really go look at any clubs because I think KDT will be more than enough to handle. Umm, 5th period, Gov, where we listened to the rest of the stuff explained yesterday, and, listened to somebody's "Current Event" assignment presentation. Then, lecture, and notes. Nice.
And finally Chinese, where we did work in class, write questions on the board, and played Bingo. I decided to just lay the commonalities over, just, a tiny of initiative, nothing serious, but just really casual. I said to Ka "Did you see the TSM win over C9?" Yep, definitely interesting, heh. Also, fair bit of discussion today on the KDT chat so far regarding CLOG rush and how we need an adviser for us to use the dance room. Apparently you need a teacher or "adviser" to monitor us so we don't, fuck the room over or organize a drug swap-meet and shit. Just, yeah, supervise. We haven't found one so far, which sucks, but uh, hopefully we do.
And as for tonight, well. I'm hoping to learn a few more dances/songs and refine some that I've already learned, so that I go ham during CLOG rush. You see, the Korean American Student Association (KASA) had our table today (the reason why we weren't able to promote today), and, they do some K-Pop dancing too, especially the president who basically carries the whole club on his back. And, a lot of people signed up for their club for a couple of reasons. One, they think that it's KDT, and two, the president's dance moves himself. Fucking underclassmen, man. Not the president, but, how underclassmen are fanning over him, heh.
So yeah, I'll try to go all-out tomorrow, by, going all out tonight. I actually already explained this, I'ma learn some shit tonight so I can perform tomorrow. It's 10:20 PM, this shit's only possible 'cause I don't have work (really), and yeah, see ya.

Monday, August 29, 2016 "Satiated Work."
Monday, August 29, 2016
Week: 4
Songs to Remember: Love Paint - Nu'est, Chewing Gum - NCT Dream, Egg - The Garden
From where I'm standing, I'm at a happy medium right now, but without the happy. So, more of like, just a medium.
I'm doing "okay," as you'd call it, but I think I can do better. I'm still waiting for that "umph" to put me over the edge, which is a good thing. Something like, the senior picnic, now that was nice. If shit like that happens more often, I think I'd get to the point that I'd like. For now, I'm learning "piroutte's" in Dance.
On the day that was the senior picnic, people had to write a half-page paper on Jazz and stuff, so, that was what I did about 5 minutes ago. Just, bulk work, really. In terms of physical work, there was stretching, reviews on our dances we've learned so far, and "piroutte" practice. In math, it was just working on work, and, study for the test tomorrow. Not sure how long the length of it will be. I'm hoping it won't take the whole period, because then I know that this shit is gonna be hard, heh. So, I'm actually looking forward to a timed one, at least the suffering will only be for a short time.
Break was what you'd expect of course, umm, Digital Art. We finally got started on designing our letter drawings on Adobe Illustrator. Fina-fucking-ly, heh. And I gotta say, my hunger for some designing is being satiated. Definitely the class I'm looking forward to the whole day. As for English, that's the class I hope the teacher doesn't turn off the lights and lecture, because I guess old habits die hard, as I still am finding myself closing my eyes during intervals. I just hope the teacher doesn't see that and be like "What the fuck is he doing, meditating?"
Also we got a drawing project which is due Thursday, but we all know I ain't working on it 'till Wednesday so. Lunch, that was the usual again. Also, false fire alarm. Unfortunately it wasn't real, so, no evacuation. Gov was, again, another practice discussion session. I don't mind it much, it's just that it's a bit too interactive. Also, don't know if I've mentioned this before, but the teacher's totally hip and lenient. I've heard that he was a cool teacher, and, looks like the rumors are true, heh. He shows "The Daily Show" or other news talk shows during SSR, and uh, doesn't really care if it uses vulgar language sometimes, because it isactually educational. The word "fuck" was used one time, uncensored too, and, the teacher didn't really give a shit. Hell, nobody gave a shit. I think the teacher knows that, we don't really give a shit either.
And finally, Chinese, where we just did some bootleg charades, and, just whatever, doesn't really matter, heh. Luckily there's not too much work, lately. It's kinda bulk, but that's it. Anyways, nothing else to say or don't remember what else to say, so, it's 11:00 PM, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Love Paint - Nu'est
The past couple days, I have gotten the best sleep ever. I do get the weird dreams though, but none the less, they were some good-ass sleeps.
Today was nothing special. Umm, finished work, relaxed, that's about it. There is work to do this upcoming season, especially with CLOG rush. That's gonna be one hell of a set of episodes, and that's not even with tests and assignments and shit. Oh and here's a story from today actually, almost forgot to tell it.
You know Ka, right, the one who sits next to me in Chinese. Well, on that one Thursday, when we had the Chromebooks to work on our Blendspace presentations, I was like "What, are you gonna put anime pictures on the Blendspace?" Something like that, can't remember what the convo got to for me to ask this. She was like "Umm, nooo, because I'm not a weab." I'm thinking like "O..." and I felt like a fucking cringelord for asking that.
But, today I logged onto our group Blendspace to see if it's done yet before I submit it into Google Classroom. I log onto it, I scroll down, and what do I see? The 5- individual vocab slides, with anime pictures ranging from "Re:Zero" to "One-Punch Man" to "Himouto Umaro-chan." And who made those slides? Yep, Ka.
I was like "So. She said she wasn't a weaboo, and, I held back on my cringe Blendspace pics, for this." (I usually put cringey or bootleg pictures on the Blendspace so that the teacher would have to sit through, looking at 'em). Yeah, she lied. Why the fuck you lying? Why you always lying? Mmmm, oh my God. STOP FUCKING LYING.
Another day, another LIE told, heh. But it's whatever, umm, I wasn't expecting to get anymore with this group anyways, and, that just, that just helps me refine the pool of people I'd want to associate with. And of course I'm joking, I ain't that mad like "FUCK that bitch," but more like, hey, kinda funny how she said this, but then does this. Anyways, it's 11:36 PM, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Monster (LDN Noise Bass Remix) - EXO, Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
For my perspective for the day, I had a really nice shower. I was like "Damn, that was a nice-ass shower."
And from that, it really does relieve some stress, takes some wait off your shoulders. And so, I'd recommend doing something refreshing each day, even if it really is a placebo. Anyways, yeah, that's it for that. In other news, nothing much has happened today. I just have a hint of Chinese work and some math work to finish tomorrow and that'll be it.
No intel yet on the "written assignment" for Dance yet. Also, to be honest I can't wait to start working on my letter design in Digital Art (like actually working on it on the computer). Digital Art's probably my favorite class right now, don't know if I've said this before. But like, it's just relaxing, I don't really have to worry about anything, nothing really "physical" (like Dance) about it besides pressing some keys and clicking and mouse, heh. And it's something I thoroughly enjoy, so.
And as for pictures, apparently I took over 100 pictures on that senior picnic trip. Did not feel like I too- I'm an idiot and I forgot that Jk and others took pics with my phone. That explains it, heh. Anyways, I was going to say that, I now have a good album going for me, on Facebook. You know how people have those albums for each of their High school years. A lot of people start it late, like, their senior year, and I'd include myself in that as well.
That's about it for today. Nothing but here and online and work for tomorrow, aaand, maybe start learning some dances or something. Which reminds me, our spot for CLOG rush (which is over the course of 3 days on the green field in front of the theater), is on Wednesday, September 1st. Which means, yeah I don't actually have that much time to learn a lot of dances. Besides stuff like BTS' "Dope" and EXO's "Call Me Baby," I really don't know (by heart or memory) any of the other, 31 song dances. I learn some though, it's not like, I gotta learn the whole song, it's only just the choruses of stuff, which is roughly 30+ seconds.
And now that's it. It's 9:38 PM, see ya.

And from that, it really does relieve some stress, takes some wait off your shoulders. And so, I'd recommend doing something refreshing each day, even if it really is a placebo. Anyways, yeah, that's it for that. In other news, nothing much has happened today. I just have a hint of Chinese work and some math work to finish tomorrow and that'll be it.
No intel yet on the "written assignment" for Dance yet. Also, to be honest I can't wait to start working on my letter design in Digital Art (like actually working on it on the computer). Digital Art's probably my favorite class right now, don't know if I've said this before. But like, it's just relaxing, I don't really have to worry about anything, nothing really "physical" (like Dance) about it besides pressing some keys and clicking and mouse, heh. And it's something I thoroughly enjoy, so.
And as for pictures, apparently I took over 100 pictures on that senior picnic trip. Did not feel like I too- I'm an idiot and I forgot that Jk and others took pics with my phone. That explains it, heh. Anyways, I was going to say that, I now have a good album going for me, on Facebook. You know how people have those albums for each of their High school years. A lot of people start it late, like, their senior year, and I'd include myself in that as well.
That's about it for today. Nothing but here and online and work for tomorrow, aaand, maybe start learning some dances or something. Which reminds me, our spot for CLOG rush (which is over the course of 3 days on the green field in front of the theater), is on Wednesday, September 1st. Which means, yeah I don't actually have that much time to learn a lot of dances. Besides stuff like BTS' "Dope" and EXO's "Call Me Baby," I really don't know (by heart or memory) any of the other, 31 song dances. I learn some though, it's not like, I gotta learn the whole song, it's only just the choruses of stuff, which is roughly 30+ seconds.
And now that's it. It's 9:38 PM, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Stressed Out - twenty one pilots, Monster (LDN Noise Creeper Remix) - EXO
When I think of a picnic, I think about the "picnic" part. You know, just sitting there at a table or a blanket draped over the ground, eating food, hanging out with people you know. I didn't expect picnics to include hiking.
This is one of the most tired-est times I've felt since Fanime, and that was pretty tiring. But today, probably tops that, and this was just one day. First off, I had to wake up at 6:30 AM. Not good. Got to school at around 7:20 AM, in which, the cast has yet to arrive until around 7:30 AM. The cast and I (Jk, Ag, DrewN, Ek, and Lw) met up and went down and sat next to each other at the football bleachers after getting checked in
The senior panoramic picture was pretty slow, took around 20 minutes to complete it because there were people who were late, the photographer was moving people in, backpacks, etc. After that, those who weren't going to the senior picnic had to go to class, the rest, we waited for our buses to arrive. I was in the "white" bus (there were other "colored" buses, like blue, red, etc, just to identify them, not because they were actually colored like that), which is for people with last names "Su to Tu."
What sucked was that, everybody else really relevant were either on different buses, or just weren't going to the picnic. I did, however, got to catch up with an old buddy of mine, one I knew from 7th grade. He was a good friend in our social circle ("our" meaning, Ec, Mc, the old, prehistoric cast which is now the Discord chat), I even invited him to my student-of-the-month meal-time where he had his first taco. Man, was that something, heh.
From 8th grade afterwards he hung out with other people, and, was just busy with himself and his other buddies. And I don't blame him either. But yeah, it was nice catching up with him, he's still the same as I knew him in 7th grade, except, he just has more connections now. Anyways, we were the last bus to leave, during the ride I did not have a bus buddy so I just listened to music for the whole 15+ minutes. It's actually pretty hard to sleep on the ride there due to how noisy it was, people were playing music, some windows were open, etc.
When we arrived to the campgrounds (it was like a park, picnic area, recreational area, swimming pool, forest, hiking trail), I noticed it was just like when I went to science camp in 6th grade. It was just like it. Big tall trees surrounding the area, you felt like you were engulfed in nature, but the recreational areas and stuff felt like a nice civilization bubble, I don't know. It felt pretty nice, considering I haven't been to a forest-y area in a long time.
I met back up with Jk, Ek, and Lw. While Ek and Lw went to the restroom, I met up with a couple Jk's friends, whom he met like, a week ago, heh. They joined us on the adventure for a good, 65, 70%. After Ek and Lw got back, we went ahead and just, started off onto the first hiking trail. On the way there, walking through the campgrounds, it was really different from the Google Images that I saw. I was expecting like, a grassy field, sorta like a golf course, with picnic tables on the side, surrounded by tall pine trees.
At least I got the tree part and picnic tables right. And the swimming pool too. That thing was pretty small, and with the amount of people, also very crowded. There was a small place for people to play basketball, a volleyball net, plenty of tables, separate soda machines (free soda by the way, considering we paid $25. Also, I'm still pissed about how the office admin confiscated my water. I mean really? You could've tasted it, I could've tasted it. Just because it wasn't "sealed"), food, water (how was I supposed to know it was provided for free? It did not say anywhere in any emails), and, hiking trails. And trees. Lots of tall trees, which made for really nice aesthetic shots (I got a lot of those).
So this was like, my first experience with hiking. Like at-my-own-pace sorta hiking. I've been to Yosemite with my parents on a bootleg bus trip (and we all know how well that went), but I don't count that as a real hiking trip, because we didn't really "hike," per se. As for science camp, that was not at my own pace, and it was science camp, which was totally different. This time, I was only with the cast, no coordinator or supervisor, we're old enough to know what's dangerous or not, we could go at our own pace, etc.
And boy, was it fucking nice. I never understood hiking as a hobby. You would think that it'd be just walking on a trail, and that was what I thought too. Just walking on a dirt path, trees around you, that's it. In actuality (in this case at least), there was more than just a "dirt path." We had to traverse over small rocks to 2 trails on each side of a small creek, and, there were tree trunks blocking paths, going over, under, over and under rocks, slipping and sliding on unstable ground, rocks, wood. It's like a new experience every time. Reminds me of randomly-generated terrain, like in Minecraft, heh.
And I could see why people like hiking, both in general and as a hobby. It's a different experience every time, it's an actual challenge to traverse the unknown land, and, you could set goals like "Hiked here, check it off my list. Havne't hiked here yet, one more to go, etc." In the midst of our hiking, I did a lot of Snapchat videos (25+ to be exact) in which I discovered that I can actually, for once, do a "Man vs. Wild"-type documentary, heh. Was pretty fun for about 20+ minutes, 'till I was getting low on battery.
We took a lot of pictures, with me taking some aesthetic shots on the nature to be used at some backgrounds, and, had Jk and the rest take a pictue of me in some aesthetic poses. We hiked the first trail for a good, 30+ minutes, maybe 45+ minutes, until we got tired/ almost reached the dead end for the trail and headed back to get food. This was where I discovered that food was free, and, water and soda was free too.
Sat down at a table, just relaxed for a good 20+ minutes, eating, relaxing. There was no reception there by the way, so luckily Snapchat saves the stories until you get a connection to post 'em. Also there was a barbecue to. As I was saying, we stayed at a table for a bit, it was about 11:00 AM by that time, and, after that, we went ahead and hiked on the 2nd trail. This was where I knew that I had picked the wrong clothes to go hiking with (I didn't know there were hiking trails until we got on the bus, okay? Didn't state anywhere in the emails, and, the Google Images showed that vision I had of just a grassy field).
Several times, my black pants were covered in moss or debris. My black long-sleeved shirt was soaked in sweat, so I had to take that off and put it in my backpack (in which I regret bringing). My short-sleeved shirt under my long one was also soaked, heh. Not only my shirts, but my shoes too. Several times I had slipped my foot into the creek or body of water, and, got my whole shoe wet. Socks too. By the end of it, both my shoes and socks were soaked. I eventually took off my socks and just went bare-footed in my shoes because it was at the very least, less discomfortable (discomfortable?).
Also it was very weird how, almost every person you see, you kinda or do know them/ who they are. 'Course, it is the senior class and you have either been in the same class as them or seen them around school or social media, but still. Anyways, after a long trek on this trail, we headed back. Ek and Lw went elsewhere, we lost track of Jk's buddies, and it was just him and me sitting at a picnic table, one of his shoes was wet, while both of mine were. Along with the music playing, it felt as if it were the last day of school. It could even be a moving ending, in which Jk and I do a nice hand-grasp and then freeze-frame it then have the credits roll in, just like the ending to "The Breakfast Club," heh.
Everybody (and I mean everybody) got in for a group picture, then it was time to get back on the buses and head back. With my tired soul and body, and the nice warm breezes throughout the bus from the windows, and the whitenoise that is noise, and the bumpy ride on a school-bus, it was sorta easy to fall asleep. But I didn't. Once we got back it was only 2:15 PM. Jk suggested him and I head over to DrewN's house (apparently he got out early). I had to decline 'cause I got dance practice right at 3:00 PM, plus I needed to go home and change my shoes because I could not stand the wetness any longer.
So I got home, took a break for 10 minutes, headed back to school with my tired ass, only to see that the CLOG rush "practice" for KDT was literally just, dancing to the mix that I had made (in which the one played was not even the final version, just saying). It was nice to catch up with the other members (not everybody was there, but, most), but it did feel empty without the old seniors. Anyways, stayed there for about 2 hours, went home, and just, stayed home, heh.
Not gonna lie, I was glad that I did go.This finale wouldn't have been- oh my goodness. You see how like, it's only the 3rd season in, and this was the season 3 finale? Just swept the rest of the other series finales out of the water. Or at least, this one was super-different. And, it actually reflected upon how, I am growing, shwocasing how free I felt, doing whatever, acting like a retard by doing those bootleg Snapchat documentaries, heh. Just like with the creek, I just went with the flow. It's 11:19 PM, see ya.

"How does it feel to multi-task with an over-loaded Audacity project and updates to a Facebook group page post?" Well I'm glad you asked. It's actually very tiring.
It's 10:52 PM right now and thank the lord I'm going to the senior picnic tomorrow, because I would still be up, even later, doing work. But, since I won't be at school tomorrow (or at least, for my classes), I won't have to worry about that. It's 10:53 PM, I worked the entire day, not even kidding, like, as I got home, I got out the music videos for reference, song lyric sites, 31 MP3 files of K-Pop songs, and just got to work (on the CLOG Rush song mix of course).
There was one panic moment in which 3 hours of work almost went to the shitter due to an Audacity crash. Thankfully I had auto-save on, heh, so, that was nice. I ran into multiple problems after posting it to the KDT group page. There was a song overlap-age, I forgot to include a song and so, while 15+ songs at once over to make room for it, apparently I didn't grab one and so I had to go in, fix it, re-adjust, just, a bit too many post-export edits and fixes than I would've liked.
But it's to be expected. I'm using Audacity, which isn't the greatets program but it gets the job done, and, I'm dealing with 31 tracks here, which is the largest mix I've ever created actually. So besides all this mixing, today was just an average today. Ish. Dance was just learning a new move, apparently there's a written assignment on Monday or something, umm, math was the same, break was the same. Digital Art was just watching examples, English was actually particularly interesting. The teacher had us watch a video (literal VHS tape video from 1995) on the history of language.
And in the process of that we took notes, where you know, you fill in the blank for phrases and stuff said in the video. The dude was Elliot Engel, and uh, well, he talked about the beginnings of language, in particular, what makes up the English language. He incorporated some comedy in his presentation which was a nice touch. The most appealing part was that, it was sincerely interesting to me, heh. Like, it answered questions that I've sorta wondered ever since elementary school. "Why is the letter A always first? How many English words are there? Is all of the English language Anglo-saxon German?"
Lunch was the same as well. Aaand, for Gov, the assessment was a bit too easy. Just 5 questions, 3 easy, 2, basically easy as well. I kinda felt shitty for not doing the bonus "level 3" question, 'cause it all really was easy. But uh, whatever, I'll prepare for the next one. I was actually worried for nothing, I thought it would be a bit more difficult, but, guess not. And finally Chinese, where we did 2 quizzes, basically the same vocab quiz, on paper and online. Yeah, got sorta shit on the paper one, sorta shit online as well. But hey, at least I didn't use the built-in Google Web Translate, heh. The rest of class was just working in our groups on our Blendspace.
Also forgot to mention, I had to clutch it and get my permission slip signed, especially from my Digital Art teacher. My Dance teacher was kind enough to let me leave a bit early to go to his class so I can get his signature. I didn't expect Jk and Vh to be there. I mean they are in the Digital Business Academy, but still. Got his signature, boom. Also it's 11:18 PM now, and it sure feels like a Friday night. But, no, it's actually a Thursday night, where tomorrow I gotta wake up at around 6:30 AM just so I can get to school early for the fucking senior panorama picture.
Also some requests to fix a certain part of the mix, again. No problem though, but uh, yeah, heh, just a bit too many fixes than I thought would be needed. Anyways, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Crying - Stellar, Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap
Yes, I have found some people who I interact with in some of my classes. I'm not saying they're, they're friends, but, more so on the "classmate" side.
In Dance, it's basically 3 out of the 4 dudes in there, not including me. Today was Wednesday, and, that meant a shorter period. No stretches, which I thought was weird. I was like "Hey, wouldn't it make sense for us to stretch before we actually do the assessments?" But I didn't realize it was Wednesday schedule until after we all did it. It was basically 2 tests, one of the "chase" move, and one for the "spin and spot" move.
People lined up on one side, the teacher calls out 3 or 4 names of people, they do it, then the next 3 or 4, and so on. You start off with the right side, right foot, right spin, etc, and then the left. I did overall not bad. My left spin and spot could've been a better, but it's passing. The teacher was like "You can't get an F" which is true, but you know, I don't really want a C either. B's the ideal thing right now. After all the testing stuff (which actually took a lot longer than you'd think), the class score average was an A-, which is goddamn good, heh.
Math was fairly simple today. By fairly simple I mean it's the same old thing as yesterday, err, Monday, and the day before that, and the day before that. You go in, correct your own work, then follow along with notes and examples, then you got time to do work. Boom. Oh and this is where the Wednesday schedule fucked me over a bit. There was no break today, so, that meant I couldn't get any signatures for my permission slip for Friday's senior picnic until, 5th and 6th period (and in-between).
An introduction of Adobe Illustrator, along with some examples was pretty much all of Digital Art. I'm pretty hyped to start on my design, not gonna lie. I cannot wait to fiddle around with the controls, functions, tools, just make everything as if I was, making it mine, heh. English was just another, lecture day, and uh, story day too. The teacher talks a lot about stuff other than, you know, English, like, informing us of the new community service rules (by new I mean, last year's which has now been reverted to before last year's because that was utter shit on the community service policies), and, cheating policies, etc.
He also searched up "Lollipop dragon" which is apparently an old, song/ play thing that he wasn't sure was real, or, just in his imagination, because he has not seen or heard of it for 20+ years, which is crazy. And yes, it is real. Also, he did show some examples of mandalas, you know, those circle things with art and smybols, we're gonna be doing those things soon. Aaand about a few days ago was his birthday, so he's sharing the birthday cake a student got for him with the rest of the class.
During lunch (this is a wild one), I went ahead and went to the student bank to get my senior picnic ticket. Got it, went back to the satellite kitchen to get lunch, no sign of Ag. So I'm standing there, in line, waiting, I'm on my phone a couple of times, bantering messaging Ec on Discord, when I see Tv and this one dude whom Ec and I know, everybody who was at that old spot (you know that old spot from the past series) knows him. Not anybody too popular, just, so and so. To me at least, not sure about his social circle. But anyways, he's standing with Tv (ya'll know Tv from So Don't Be On With Her). I've seen them walking together and stuff but never actually thought that they'd be "together" or whatever.
I always thought that they were hanging out together because they were part of the same club or some shit. And mostly because him and this one other girl have been shipped by so many people for so long, you'd think he'd be with nobody else. Well, today that was proven wrong. I'm standing in line, I see them, Tv tiptoes in order to reach the dude and give him a quick kiss, Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" plays, and the rest, is history.
Yeah. That uh, that happened, right there. Back in Bio, Tv's debate buddies (she's in the debate team, these dudes were part of it as well or at least knows about it/ knows Tv), and by Tv's debate buddies, I'm talking about a couple of the dudes who were in my lab group. Anyways, I once heard them talk about whether or not Tv's- wait. Actually never-mind, I remembered wrong. Fuck. Well, this, this sucks. They do know her though, they're in debate too, but the person they were referring to, it wasn't Tv, it was actually another person in their debate team. Huh.
As I was saying, that was a big surprise for me. The, the kissing and being "together" thing, not the Bio talk. Who would've thought she'd end up with this dude? I clearly didn't, there's, there's no evidence online that this would've happened, no evidence that this is happening besides that one action of which I don't really wanna discuss anymore, but uh, yeah, heh, very, very twisting.
The rest of lunch was pretty much the same, except when I went to my English teacher's room to have him sign my permission slip before I went to 5th period and, took notes and see an example presentation. Tomorrow is gonna be "assessment" day, whatever that means. Besides the fact that he's gonna check our notebooks, not really sure if it's an actual written test or not. Anyways, Chinese, in which I attempted to get my 3rd period teacher's signature but couldn't because his door was locked/ not in his room, where the teacher showed us own own video work assignments, to the whole class, aaand, did the "total physical response" for this lesson's vocabulary.
Also, the seats were moved back to where they originally were. Not in tables, but duo columns. So that there concludes the day. Other than that, my cousin's first day of college was today, today's Wednesday, finished my essay, only gotta study the vocabulary for Chinese, and then finish up them notes for Gov. Nice, all before, 5:59 PM. By the time I've written all this, it's 5:59 PM, and those are the things I gotta do as of, now, just to clarify. But enough of this "word vomit," this was a mess of an episode, I'm about to eat dinner in an hour, see ya.
And P.S, I heard one dude say "Don't pay attention and it's okay" as I walking from 2nd to 3rd. I thought it was a cool saying and so I wrote it down to remember it. Well, texted it down into my phone notes. That reminded me of old, series 1 habits, and I'm just like "Damn, this is all tying together isn't it." Alright, for real now, see ya.

They do know her though, they're in debate too, but the person they were referring to, it wasn't Tv, it was actually another person in their debate team. Huh.
As I was saying, that was a big surprise for me. The, the kissing and being "together" thing, not the Bio talk. Who would've thought she'd end up with this dude? I clearly didn't, there's, there's no evidence online that this would've happened, no evidence that this is happening besides that one action of which I don't really wanna discuss anymore, but uh, yeah, heh, very, very twisting.
The rest of lunch was pretty much the same, except when I went to my English teacher's room to have him sign my permission slip before I went to 5th period and, took notes and see an example presentation. Tomorrow is gonna be "assessment" day, whatever that means. Besides the fact that he's gonna check our notebooks, not really sure if it's an actual written test or not. Anyways, Chinese, in which I attempted to get my 3rd period teacher's signature but couldn't because his door was locked/ not in his room, where the teacher showed us own own video work assignments, to the whole class, aaand, did the "total physical response" for this lesson's vocabulary.
Also, the seats were moved back to where they originally were. Not in tables, but duo columns. So that there concludes the day. Other than that, my cousin's first day of college was today, today's Wednesday, finished my essay, only gotta study the vocabulary for Chinese, and then finish up them notes for Gov. Nice, all before, 5:59 PM. By the time I've written all this, it's 5:59 PM, and those are the things I gotta do as of, now, just to clarify. But enough of this "word vomit," this was a mess of an episode, I'm about to eat dinner in an hour, see ya.
And P.S, I heard one dude say "Don't pay attention and it's okay" as I walking from 2nd to 3rd. I thought it was a cool saying and so I wrote it down to remember it. Well, texted it down into my phone notes. That reminded me of old, series 1 habits, and I'm just like "Damn, this is all tying together isn't it." Alright, for real now, see ya.

Tuesday, August 23, 2016 "Setting Up."
Tuesday, August 23, 2016
Week: 3
Songs to Remember: Play With Me - Cross Gene, Swagger Time - M.A.P6
We're getting close to some deadlines here. I've also been having a chain of "bad" dreams lately. Either they're very weird or very, violent.
I personally think it's just my responsibilities trying to catch up to me in the form of dreams, trying to scare me. There's no real reason for me to be afraid of this shit really, just gotta take it on head-first. Same goes for Dance. When people line up into the 4 separate lines for practicing moves, nobody stays in front, they all try to squirm to the back. I'm just like, whatever, you know, I don't give a fuck.
Today we went over the stuff we did so far, including the "jazz" walks with pivot turns, spins with "spotting," and this little gallop/ hopping move, which apparently the English translation of its French name means "chase." Tomorrow we're gonna be assessed (I don't particularly like that word) on some of this shit so, as long as I practice a bit of it tonight, it ain't gonna be a problem. Still not comfortable with this shit though because it's the first thing in the morning.
Math, on the other hand, is less comfortable, more, anxious. Nervous, your nerves get to ya, and you make shitty mistakes. Like today's quiz. Apparently it was only 3 questions, multiple choice, but after doing the homework and having each question be a question with like, 5 sub-questions, it's logical to think it'd be the same. Umm, so it was out of 15 points, and, each question's 5 points each, so it's essentially a pass or fail sorta shit. Me, well, I got that 5, heh. It's okay though, because after that re-take the other day, I got a 42/48 on it (I forgot to put the pi sign for some fractions, godamnit, also it's only 90% of what you get, so it's actually a 39/48), and after this, my grade's sitting at a 77%, which is, a C+, but hey, not that bad considering this is only the beginning. If I do ace the test next week, I'll probably get bumped up to a B+.
Break was the usual, where I walk to my locker and meet up with half the cast, then go to our table. Digital Art, I emailed the teacher last night if I could get my seat changes 'cause I really couldn't see from where I was, and, it worked. I switched spots with this one dude sitting near my old seat from freshman year. Kinda fucked him over, but, hey, if he ain't complaining, it's good. Anyways, it felt pretty comfortable being back there again. Also, the dudes around me have no idea that I am a God at amateur graphic design, so they're in for a treat when it's time to start working. We got our computers, our passwords, etc, small into to Illustrator.
English, where there was a lecture on uh, the stuff we're gonna do in the class for the future, some other stuff, archetypes examples, etc. Not gonna lie, I yawned an awful lot, too many to count actually. Not because of the teacher, but because of the content. I was just, trying my best not to accidently close my eyes and fall half-asleep, as to not look and seem disrespectful. Umm, lunch was the usual again where I go to my locker, meet up with Ag, go get lunch, and sit at the table with the rest of the cast.
In Gov, no simulation today, but, a lot of discussion, notebook writing, shit's still due Thursday, umm, also some major assignments which have yet to be truly specified how they're done. Considering this is only a semester class, and a required class to graduate (unless you take it at a community college over the summer), I kinda feel overwhelmed. There's no real sense of direction really. Also, I feel bad for the first person presenting their research on a current event (as one of the major assignments), because that person's presentation date is the 30th, which doesn't really net them a lot of time considering all the shit going on right now.
And finally Chinese, where I do get a fair bit of initiative in, and, just that. Not bad, we're getting somewhere. Also forgot to mention a lot of character appearances so far, like, Mt on the route from Dance to math, Jb from Gov to Chinese, Vh from English to lunch, Cy from the lockers to the lunch line. A lot of people. In other news, I got an email about senior picnic tickets. They're being sold tomorrow only for persons 1 through 38 on the waiting list, and that the permission slips must be turned in by break on Thursday, which, doesn't really give much time for people to get the signatures unless you go after-school tomorrow, or if you buy your ticket during break, in which on Thursday, you can get 1st and 2nd periods' signatures.
But yeah, I'm probably a shoe-in for the senior picnic, which is nice. Still gotta finish that essay, still gotta finish those notes, still gotta do some bootleg recordings for Chinese. And, still gotta practice some skipping for Dance. On another note, a couple days ago my mom told my dad she heard on the news or radio that a large amount of high-end engineers graduate from SJSU (just like, in general/ in the area). So with that, I'm thinking she thinks SJSU may not seem as such a shitty school after all. I'm still hoping for bigger heights to climb, but if not, that's the rock I'm ending up with. It's 9:57 PM, see ya.

Monday, August 22, 2016 "Stopping Gap."
Monday, August 22, 2016
Week: 3
Songs to Remember: Play With Me - Cross Gene
Well, well, well, things are starting to sorta pile up. I'm just hoping I get some free time on Wednesday and Thursday because I got a lot to do.
For Dance, nothing major, just dancing exercises, small, dancing exercises. I get introduced to them in class, if I don't get 'em on the first try, I practice for like 2 minutes at home 'till I get it right. Math, it's just the same old, same old, nothing more to it. Except the fact that I thought the quiz was today, which it wasn't. It's actually tomorrow, so, I kinda prepared for nothing, but oh well, it just means I don't need to study for tonight (considering the quizzes so far are kinda short).
Digital Art, where I can barely see the teacher's projection screen due to the angle of vision which is created by where I am sitting. The teacher showed us an example of storyboards, and, a deleted Shrek scene. We're gonna be starting on making an animation in Photoshop, just a really simple, simple animation. I'm taking it a step further and recreating the Pokemon trainer battle animation (low-quality hand-drawn recreation). It's not due at all yet, probably gonna start on it after everybody's done with the letter design, which is gonna be, give or take, 2 weeks, maybe 1 and a half.
I also emailed the teacher about my seat, because although I do enjoy the loud-ass music played from the other room, I can't really see what the teacher's demonstrating on the screen from where I am. So far, Digital Art and Dance are the least of my worries. English, on the other hand, is going alright, if I can trudge through writing a shitty-ass essay on my archetypes. I'm half-way done, don't even really need to be super concise (considering others in the class who might just write 5 sentences per paragraph and be done with it), but, if it comes down to me having to finish it the day before it's due (Thursday), then I'll cheap my way out.
Lunch was the same old thing again, nothing much else. Government, apparently the teacher really likes examples and analogies and simulations. Because today, we did another simulation thing. Everybody got pieces of paper, some got 1, some got 2, some got 3. They were different colors, aaand, we were given time to trade them around. Some people liked blues so they traded for blues, some wanted pink, etc. Then the teacher revealed that the different colors were worth different points. The person with the most points can make a new rule for the next round (applying to the next round only).
This in turn creates a power thing, where the winner can just make a rule that benefits them only, making them win again and again. I was like "Well, this sucks ass" until the teacher gave me a hint that people should pool up their papers to overthrow the group/ person who keeps reigning control. It worked, sorta. People got into their own alliances, showed the different types of power, trading, etc. Overall, pretty cool if you think about it, but uh, yeah. And finally Chinese, probably the highlight of the day, we read the textbook (or print-out, 'cause we don't actually have a class copy of textbooks) multiple times aaand, did some bootleg white-board-and-marker writing exercises.
Overall it was a good group bonding experience, probably the most we've all talked ever since the real groups have been set up. The girl in our group, not Ka, the freshman girl, who is from China (due to her slight accent and her fluency in Chinese, and because she did confirm it), had a shirt that said "Luhan 7" on it. At the end of class I was like "Hey does your shirt say 'Luhan,' as in, Luhan from EXO?" She was like "Yeah, you know them too?" I was like "Yeah. Pretty cool shirt." Smooth move, Drew.
Anyways, stuff's due Thursday, got a mix due by Thursday too 'cause we're probably (we as in KDT) gonna practice with it during Friday's after-school practice, there waiting list for senior picnic tickets are still, wait for it, waiting to be used. The student bank manager (one of them) says to check back in a few days, but like, the picnic trip itself is in 4 days, so. Not sure if everybody's gonna be able to get their teachers' signatures that quickly, but who knows. I'm just paying the $25 just to skip class for a day, really, heh. Alright, it's 11:00 PM, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Baby I'm Yours - Breakbot
Besides playing COD for a bit today (a pretty slow day), I also finished work (that's due tomorrow, not the work that's due sometime this week), and practiced the spinning thing for Dance.
My cousin's gonna have his first day of college starting this Wednesday, while our older cousin is going to be staying (or, currently is) at our grandmother's house. What the fuck is going on, you may ask? I don't even know. But apparently, from the source of my cousin's parents, and then from my cousin to me, our older cousin's staying at our grandmother's house for the time being, in that one room we stay in whenever we're down there in LA.
I don't know why he is staying there. I've been assuming he had his own place, or, sharing an apartment with buddies of his, or, living with his girlfriend. But, maybe an altercation happened, or something, don't know what the case is. All I know is he's gonna be living at our grandmother's house, maybe until he has enough money for an apartment or something.
In other news, still have yet to start college applications yet, those will be a chore for sure. Also, KDT practice for our CLOG rush performances will be on Friday after school, which is coincidentally the same day as senior picnic (I told ya the season 3 finale is gonna be bompin'). I also gotta start on the mix for our performance by Thursday/ Friday, which, consists of a fair bit of songs, about maybe 15+. Actually, I just counted, make that 25+, heh. Luckily it doesn't need to be that clean, so, I'm thinking I'll just put the songs into BPM order, then mix them.
So tomorrow, I got 2 math tests (one during class and one after school), aaand, the rest is probably gonna be work time. Gov is seriously a mystery, English is just gonna be class-work really, and, Chinese is probably gonna just bulk work. Dance is its own thing too. And Digital Art, I got nothing to worry about really, heh. Alrighty, it's 11:07 PM, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Hot Hands - Darius
I'm doing this post at 11:34 PM not because I waited to do this, but because I just got home, and, it's 11:34 PM.
So after playing COD again for a bit before leaving for this one Korean BBQ place for Ek's birthday celebration (her birthday was a week ago but, we're doing it now), I got there at around 6:00 PM. Ek, Lw, DrewN, Jh, and Ek's 2 K-Pop-loving buddies were waiting for me so we'd all ride together, but since I was caught up in a Domination match, I uh, was running late so I just told her to go without me.
And so we wait, and wait. And, wait. From 6:00 PM to until 8:30 PM, we were standing outside, waiting for us to be called for a table. We would've had a reservation but apparently you can only do that for 10+ people, and we only had 7. We finally got in, and, it's 2 separate tables for us (separated by a small gap, with 2 grills). It's Lw, Ek, and her 2 buddies sitting at a table, then there's me, DrewN, and Jh at our table.
Everything goes as you'd expect. At the place, if it's your birthday, you can have the waiters sing "Happy Birthday" to you, and so that's what we did, heh. Finished at around 10 something, waited for our change, got it, went to this milk tea place right across from the, plaza, or whatever you'd call it. Chill there for about 15 minutes before I called my dad to pick me up.
So yeah, took a lot longer than I expected, I probably could've used those 2 hours for a much better benefit, but whatever. It was a nice, relaxing (sorta) start, especially for the 2nd season of the series. I expect much more to expand by, the 3rd and 4th season finales. Yeah, definitely those, as that will probably be practice for CLOG rush, and the actual event itself. And, the 3rd season finale's gonna include, hopefully, the senior picnic. Alrighty, gonna go to sleep now, see ya.

Friday, August 19, 2016 "Initiative Presented."
Friday, August 19, 2016
Week: 2
Songs to Remember: Miro - Romeo, Very Nice - Seventeen
The writers gave me a chance, it was presented right there right in front of me, within my reach, just had to walk on over and take the initiative, that was all there was to it. But I hesitated, I hesitated too long that right before I would've gone on over, the opportunity was gone. Real nice 2nd second season finale, heh.
So I asked for dance and I got it. We practiced spinning today, starting with just regular walking (we all stood in 4 lines, each set of people taking a turn walking across the dance room), then regular walking with a double-pivot in between beats, and then we did the reverse of that with our opposite feet, and then we did, some ballerina spinning. The teacher compared it to that one action where you tap your head and rub your tummy, you know, just something regulars multiple body co-ordinations.
Not gonna lie, sorta fucked up on the spinning, heh. But it's okay, just need to practice and it won't be a problem. So that was dance. Math, was pretty much the same as usual, nothing special. As I was exiting the room though, I went ahead and walked towards my old Geometry teacher's classroom because I wanted to see if Lt really is in his class for AP Stats. I recalled that she said she was gonna take AP Stats, just wanted to make sure that that was her from the other day. And yeah, it was. I just gotta let go. Which reminds me, Tv waved when I was walking with my buddy Et over towards Dance class. Not sure if it was me, it was in my direction, and no, I didn't wave back, 'cause I wasn't sure if that was me.
I don't know, it didn't really make sense since she never did it before, ever, for the past, 3+ years. But that doesn't matter, what matters is that in Digital Art, we got them new perma-seats. For the most part. The teacher moved us all to new seats, which are gonna become our perma-seats if we don't message me a valid reason to sit somewhere else. I was like "Just hit me fam, just hit me with it." Now, I sit in this corner, right next to the door. It's in front of the window, can't actually see through it, umm, and it was pretty loud because of the noises outside, and music that was playing in the other room (Art Exploration).
However, I no longer have to sit next to that guy ever again. So although I am pretty "alone" by myself at where I'm sitting, this class is more for just my personal interest, I could focus on what I want, don't have to worry about anything, just be with myself, think for myself, and just relax. That's the main goal here. As for English, the main goal right now is to finish a bootleg essay by maybe Thursday. After a week of lectures, the first assignment's an essay, but it's not something outrageous. Yesterday and today, we finished a survey to see what kind of archetype we fit into (the fool, the sage, the creator, the destroyer, tarot cards, etc). We then write an essay describing how we fit into our top 3.
Almost forgot to mention, there were some cameos today, more specifically, Es, the former co-president of KDT. She showed up as I was changing out during Dance. I didn't notice her voice, didn't recognize her 'cause I didn't expect her to be here, just wanted to change and get to stretching. I walk out, she's talking to the teacher, I hear a "Hey Drew!" I turn, I look to see who it was "Oh, hey!" That's basically what I say now to everybody who I'm surprised to meet, heh. But yeah, was nice seeing a fellow KDT member, still waiting on that CLOG rush hype.
Speaking of hype, lunch was pretty normal. Gov though, it was like, a bit more lecture, a bit more discussion and interactive learning. Apparently our assignment is to do outlines in our notebook, which I despise. Not due yet, but maybe around Thursday, so, you all know when I'll be uh, writing in it. Also I never mentioned this but, during SSR, you can either do homework or work on other shit or watch this one show called "The Daily Show." Apparently it's on Comedy Central. The teacher plays it 'cause it deals with news and stuff, and appeals to young audiences. And finally Chinese, where I did take the initiative for a bit, this time throwing a "Hey Ka, how was your day?" 'Course again when I was trying to hear what was said about her day, it was inaudible due to noise and I just said "Yep, same."
I also threw out some comments every now and then regarding what was happening. You know, the usual Chinese class shenanigans with the teacher telling some bootleg stories or sharing bootleg pics, videos, apps, social media, news, etc. So I'm walking out of class after the bell rings, I head on over to the student bank to buy a senior picnic ticket. Apparently there's a waiting list because they aren't selling it as of right now (guess they're deciding whether to order another bus or something). Hoping I'm able to get it before Tuesday because that's the deadline for permission slips (or, before you risk getting your spot taken). Also, there's going to be a senior class photo on Friday as well. Seniors who are going will be dismissed after the picture, bags checked, yadda yadda. Those who don't will just have to go to class. Sucks ass.
And also if you don't show up, or attempt to drive there yourself, the attendance admin will be notified and you won't be allowed entry into the park. Like, what the hell? A bit too extreme much, and sort of a waste of timea and resources, but whatever. Anyways, back to the real episode, after I got put on the waiting list (which was about 20+ people or so), I walked to the back of the school, the usual. I called my mom earlier during 5th to 6th period that I would be staying after school an extra 15 minutes since I thought the line would be huge, but it wasn't, and so I had to wait at that corner to be picked up.
I'm standing there, on my phone, when I see Ka walk to her friend, who was about, 25-ish+ feet to the left of me. Guess she just wanted to say hello because she just stood by herself after that. Things got empty, it was essentially just her waiting there, on her phone, I'm standing about 30, 35-ish+ feet away, I'm debating in my mind "Walk over there Drew, just walk the FUCK OVER THERE," but I was also thinking "Come on, walking over there seems a bit stalky don't you think, even though you were standing there first and yeah, but. Kinda seems weird doesn't it? Doesn't it?"
I walked on over a bit to close the gap. I'm now maybe 10 feet away, she's still paying attention to her phone. I'm thinking 'bout, what the fuck do I say, umm, just, fuck. And then I see a car pull up to the side, it was her parent, aaand she gets picked up, before I could even close the gap, heh. Yep, classic move, Drew.
There's a lot of things I didn't cover over the past week, partly because they are not significant enough, or they just require too much detail for their significance, or, I just forget about 'em. Fortunately, it is the weekend, I'll be able to kick back, regather my thoughts, prepare for season 3. Alrighty, see ya.

Thursday, August 18, 2016 "P.E 2."
Thursday, August 18, 2016
Week: 2
Songs to Remember: Miro - Romeo, リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー - MACINTOSH PLUS
Definitely banking on the first KDT meet-up to be hype as hell and boost the ratings through the roof. But for now, the series is compensating that with having me do some early morning P.E.
Not even joking, I have not "stretched" in about, the last time I had to stretch for some KDT practice. Which was, a fairly long while ago. I noticed that I wasn't as flexible as others in Dance when we were doing stretches, I blame it partly on being the average male High-schooler, and, not having stretched in forever.
It took about 30 minutes of class time to change and do our stretches, which leaves about 10+ minutes for actual dancing. I realized that this was essentially P.E all over again, and I really was contemplating whether doing this was better over sitting in Anatomy and doing paper work, I really was. I also realized that apparently you can't wear joggers because the teacher thinks that they aren't flexible enough, which is fine. Luckily I did bring some basketball shorts just in case joggers weren't allowed and holy shit was it clutch, heh.
After the stretching though, I was like "Well Drew, you did plan on joining KDT for the exercise, and well, here's just the exercise." But anyways, until we start to get into the hip-hop dancing units, I'm stuck doing stretches and learning about "Jazz" dancing. Fortunately there's no homework so I guess that's fine. Next up was math and yeah, I was kinda worried about the quiz, especially since the teacher had a timer set for 6 minutes. But fortunately, it was just 2 questions, real easy, people (including me) actually finished before the 6 minutes was up, so that was kinda worrying but also reassuring at the same time.
And I did get a 100% on it, although it was worth only 10 points but still. Quiz Monday, sucks ass, and, just the usual work. Break was the usual again, consisting of me walking to my locker to put my big-ass math book back, meeting up with Jk/ Ag/ DrewN there, aaand, heading to our table. Digital Art now has transitioned into a complete relax/ calm zone. Still no perma-seats yet, the teacher's gonna finalize it tomorrow. But today, I had my earphones on, playlist of The Precisely Refined soundtrack on, coloring and coloring.
English was not something else today, but the same old archetype lecture. And unfortunately, the girl sitting to the left column of me, everybody in that column had to move down one, which means I ain't next to her anymore. Still in proximity though, still in proximity. Or, vicinity. Lunch was what'd you expect: the usual. There was one occurrence where apparently some dude managed to get a water bottle to land on top of the building letter of the F building (like, there's a 3D letter on the upper-side of each building). A dude was like "IT'S LIT" and saying how people were taking pictures of this shit. I didn't see it for myself, but judging from that dude's expression, it indeed was "lit" to some extent.
Gov is still in the prep phase, meaning no real talk yet on history or whatever, but on methods of study and working. And I guess you're supposed to be taking some notes/ make an outline but I have yet to do that. I'll start on it once I see the assignment on Google classroom. Instead, today the teacher just did an example of the different levels of analyzing, using the story of Cinderella for reference. Thought it was a tragic, real story at first when he described how a girl's mother died, but uh, then the dude in my group proclaimed it was Cinderella and I was like "Oh, never-mind on the bad feelings."
And finally Chinese where we had Chromebooks to do work, updates profiles and accounts, aaand, play a couple games of "Quizlet Live." I have a feeling that I should harder on the initiative, because right now, I'm not really initiating anything really. I'm too afraid to open my mouth, I'm worried that I'll say something stupid, and in turn, not say anything at all. I do think too much before opening my mouth and I gotta stop with that. Easier said than done though.
It's 9:47 PM, only gotta do math work for now, but that's fairly straight-forward. Anyways, see ya. Also, forgot to mention that Ek's birthday party is gonna be on Saturday at around 5:00 PM. A fair bit of people are gonna be there, excluding Ag and Jk 'cause, apparently they're not invited, but they don't know that. Well until, Jh mistakenly mentioned it to Ag so she probably knows. And again, not sure what the fuck is her problem with those two, not sure at all. Anyways, see ya.

Wednesday, August 17, 2016 "53%."
Wednesday, August 17, 2016
Week: 2
Songs to Remember: Still 24K - 24K, Miro - Romeo
I forgot to mention this a few posts ago but, judging how things are going so far, I'd rate it a 52%.
On Friday it was like a 50% (I realized these percentages are like a knod to the 2nd series), Monday a 51%, yesterday a 52%, and after today, I give this series a 53% right now. 53% as in, it's like halfway there to being a good-ass series. There are things that are keeping this series below 100%, but there are things that are keeping it on a nice and steady climb up the ratings.
One of those things that bumped it up a percent was the inclusion of Sc, the former KDT secretary. She made her series debut (for this series) today. She walked in, I was minding whatever my mind was on, I didn't notice her 'till she sat down and I was like "Yooo, Sc." But besides that, we were to pick out our tap and jazz shoes. Picking them out, as in, trying them on until you find one that fits, and boy, were those stiffeners so fucking short. Even after tying them tightly, I could still slip my feet out, that's how short they were.
Fortunately there were ones with taller stiffeners, I found ones that fit, went ahead and put my name on them (in the form of paper and tape) and asked for a locker. Apparently there not enough lockers for everybody taking Dance class, so we all had to share, even 3+ people per locker. And yes, I do have to share a locker with 2 other people, which ain't bad but, I mean come on. Tomorrow we're gonna be "dressing out." We're probably not gonna learn any dancing soon, it's gonna be like a practice sorta thing.
Walking from Dance to math is kinda a big hassle, almost as big of a hassle as going from math to Digital Art. Math was what'd you expect, just the same stuff. tomorrow we're having a test for the first section that we've went over. The thing about it is that I have no idea what the test format is gonna be like (the previous ones don't count since they're just like, prep and for starters). But, the material so far is just review and fairly effortless, so it shouldn't be too bad.
Since it's Wednesday, that means there's no break so, after math I immediately gotta head on over to Digital Art. And yes, if you're wondering, still cockle--doodle-blocked. No permanent seats yet, the teacher's still final finalizing stuff, so tomorrow's probably the last day. I don't think much shit's gonna happen in Digital Art anyways, I'll just treat it as a relaxation period from now on. Just work, practice, I can listen to my music which'll help on staying on task.
Still not lunch time yet, next period's English, in which we got our textbooks (which I'm fairly sure we are not gonna use, at all). When we got back to class from getting out textbooks, the teacher lectured a bit on psychology, archetypes, and Freud, and so, that somehow sparked something with the "2 truths and a lie" game. He mentioned how we were to get in groups of 4, but then he switched it to just partners of 2. I already had people in mind, I was getting ready to take initiative and ask the girl sitting next to me "Hey do you wanna be partners?"
That was until the teacher decided it would just be easy having us be partnered with the person sitting in the column next to us. I was like "Wait, does that mean..." "You guys are partners, you guys are partners..." I was like "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?" Holy hell, couldn't have been better. So we played the game and, me being the most boring person I know, I couldn't think of shit besides "I like vegetables," "I like fruits," and "I like pizza." Really Drew? Really? Her, on the other hand, said shit that actually described her, and was actually interesting. "I have a 4.0," something something I can't remember, and "I like to dance."
Damn. If only you said interesting shit as this, it'd be memorable. I was able to remember that she said she liked to dance, not because I have to in order to add detail to the post, but because it stuck out. Ahhh, man. Whatever, I think we're continuing tomorrow with this or something, I'm hoping I can step up my game by then. Oh and I don't know if I mentioned this before but the girl is in KDT. She performed with us in some shows, I even asked her if she was still doing it and she was like "Yeah."
Finally it was lunch, nothing really special. Then came government, and, we did a talk and practice reading session. Apparently there's a specific technique on reading text, which, I don't really do, I just read it, but, it's nice to know. And as for work, we do some outlines. Yeah, not my favorite, heh. And finally finally, Chinese. Probably the highlight of the day, one of the things that adds something to the ratings.
So guess what? I thought I'd be stuck in my seat for another, 2+ weeks. In the past years, the teacher just let us settle with whomever for our first group. However, this time it's different aaand, the teacher moved us all until we sat to the universal sitting standard: boy, girl, boy girl. I did have some specific seats in mind, and although I didn't feel like moving my seat, I had to anyways. I was like "Wait, what's going on." Next thing I knew, I'm sitting at a seat comparable to, let's say it's comparable to the other god seats and plot twists that have occured.
This time I was just really lucky, that I got a seat that spiced things up. I move over to the 4th group, the one in the middle of the room, upfront, the left of the 2-column table-set. Sitting to my right is this girl whom I thought was a senior ('cause she didn't raise her hand when a couple days ago the teacher asked us who was a junior in the class). But, from her book, it was an orange English textbook, not like the purple ones that English 4 has, soooo, yeah, she's a junior.
But that's not something to worry about. Sitting behind me is one dude whom I had Chinese 1 with. He's a pretty chill dude, it's nice to have him in the group. And the person to the right of him, was a freshman girl. I was like "Oh. Well, considering this is Chinese 3, I'd say she's just doing it for the freelo." And yeah, I would too. So I'm sitting in this bomb-ass seat, next to a bomb-ass girl, in a nice-ass group, I'm thinking like "Thank you, thank you based god." Man was it something. The best part though, was that the girl next to me can handle the initiative. I talk about initiative as if it's something all important, it's literally just a fancy word I use for, if people are willing to talk or not, heh, be friendly, etc.
So there's that. Afterwards, I looked her up on Facebook after getting her name (from looking at the seating chart). It's Ka, and it did sound familiar. I was like "I have her added already, don't I." Yep, back when I was on that friend request spree on Facebook, she was one of the people that appeared in the "People you may know" section.
Besides that, there's now a schedule listing the practice days for a couple of dance workshops in KDT. This is for our upcoming dancing during CLOG rush. And umm, currently songs are being requested and stuff, I don't know yet which ones we're gonna do, but it's most likely going to consist of some Red Velvet and AOA. Right now it's 9:29 PM, I just need to finish math work, then study, and then pack some clothes for tomorrow for Dance. That's it, see ya.

Sitting to my right is this girl whom I thought was a senior ('cause she didn't raise her hand when a couple days ago the teacher asked us who was a junior in the class). But, from her book, it was an orange English textbook, not like the purple ones that English 4 has, soooo, yeah, she's a junior.
But that's not something to worry about. Sitting behind me is one dude whom I had Chinese 1 with. He's a pretty chill dude, it's nice to have him in the group. And the person to the right of him, was a freshman girl. I was like "Oh. Well, considering this is Chinese 3, I'd say she's just doing it for the freelo." And yeah, I would too. So I'm sitting in this bomb-ass seat, next to a bomb-ass girl, in a nice-ass group, I'm thinking like "Thank you, thank you based god." Man was it something. The best part though, was that the girl next to me can handle the initiative. I talk about initiative as if it's something all important, it's literally just a fancy word I use for, if people are willing to talk or not, heh, be friendly, etc.
So there's that. Afterwards, I looked her up on Facebook after getting her name (from looking at the seating chart). It's Ka, and it did sound familiar. I was like "I have her added already, don't I." Yep, back when I was on that friend request spree on Facebook, she was one of the people that appeared in the "People you may know" section.
Besides that, there's now a schedule listing the practice days for a couple of dance workshops in KDT. This is for our upcoming dancing during CLOG rush. And umm, currently songs are being requested and stuff, I don't know yet which ones we're gonna do, but it's most likely going to consist of some Red Velvet and AOA. Right now it's 9:29 PM, I just need to finish math work, then study, and then pack some clothes for tomorrow for Dance. That's it, see ya.

Tuesday, August 16, 2016 "Initial Tive."
Tuesday, August 16, 2016
Week: 2
Songs to Remember: Teenage Tendencies - Blank Banshee, How's This - HyunA
I had essentially no work today (besides bulk work) and so, I promised myself (sorta) that I'd spend some time catching up on updates and details I left out on some previous posts.
So that's what I'ma do (along with the usual stuff). And boy, do I have a lot of stuff to catch up on, including pre- and post-stuff. Starting with, Dance. Unfortunately, although it is the 4th day of school already, I guess it's always a great time to do more icebreakers, eh? 'Cause that's what we did. And it wasn't even a typical ice-breaker either, there was no "game" involved, it was literally just "You got 1-minute with each person, start talking."
Not even kidding, everybody had to talk to everybody at least once. Everybody was in a circle, there was an inner circle within that circle, that circle rotated, and, you talked. Thinking that was over, the teacher had us split again and talk tho those who were in our circle, therefore, allowing us to talk to everybody in the class. The usual questions were "How was your summer," "Do you like your classes," and "What grade are you in." So many times I had to answer and ask those, I essentially said the same thing to everybody.
And you know that one girl who I said was in KDT and was also in the class? She was like "You're in KDT right?" Now normally I'd be fine with people not keeping track of people, mostly because sometimes it's impractical, but uh, I mean come on. I was thinking like "C'mon fam, I was, I was in it from the beginning, of Junior year." But I don't blame her. She's actually had to take some time off from KDT due to her parents wanting her to focus a bit more on her academics, which is understandable.
Also I didn't notice until now but the Dance teacher really reminds me of my middle-school Social Studies teacher. There was something about the Dance teacher but I couldn't put my finger on it, but uh, now I know, heh. Anyways, tomorrow we'll be getting our clothes lockers and picking out shoe sizes from the select amount of shoes available (both tap and jazz shoes). And thank goodness Jazz shoes are provided by the school (on the syllabus it only said Jazz shoes were provided), because I did not want to spend money on tap shoes, only to wear them for like, a few weeks.
Next up was math, and yes, that was the usual again, which consists of homework check, lesson, practice, and then time for work. Very standard so far, also the teacher doesn't actually collect homework, but instead just sees if you did it or not. Interesting teaching choice. Anyways, it was break, and then Digital Art, in which I get cockle-doodle blocked once again. It never ends. Currently this week will be just drawing, working on a bootleg drawing of a letter with our interests drawn into them, due on Friday. The class is very calming, besides the fact I get this shit happening to me each time.
This also reminds me of a time when Ad, the KDT dude, we met at the math tutoring thing, you know, when during practice for Lunar Show or the VSA show, like, after-school and we were sitting in the audience waiting for our turn to use the stage for practice, Ad showed me a book that he was reading. It was something along the lines of "How to make friends" or whatever. Now I wouldn't really consider showing that to my buddies, but for him, I guess he felt it was a really good book, so in turn he showed it to me. I was like "Hey, looks pretty good." And that got me thinking, only started now, that uh, he seemed like a generally cool dude to hang out with or associate with.
I don't know, something about the book he was reading and his personality, I thought it was very contradicting, like, "Why would you need to learn how to make friends when you're already pretty good at that?" And from that, made me think "If I want shit to happen, I just gotta take initiative." I'll get back to this discussion later. But after 3rd, was English. Same old seat as yesterday, but today, we do the same shit as yesterday as well, heh. And, there was lunch, today was Lw's birthday, there was some cringey-ish coerced dancing in front of the stage of the theater at the green field, what a sight. I'd expect this shit to be on Fridays, or a bit more into the school year, but I guess the 4th day works too.
Afterwards, it was Government, and, this is where that discussion comes in. There was more group discussion today, more, philosophical, trying to get into the mindset of how the government has power over us, etc. The girl who sits in front of me, the one who takes essentially the initiative of our group, she refers to me by my name, as well as asks me for my opinion, and others' opinions of our group as well instead of having an attitude of just :Fuck it, no need to actually do work." She took a chance when talking to people like me, hoping that I'd reciprocate that initiative taking, which fortunately I do when people do, and that reflects upon how I talk to others who, I think are the same as me as I am to people like her.
The first time you take initiative, you might not get your point across, you might, it's all based on the person you're handing the "flag" to, the initiative flag. Once they do take it, they'll be more comfortable, you get your point across, pressure is alleviated, it's easier to mention other stuff and keep it casual. And then, you're good. And also, just another interesting thing, we were to share our thoughts on power and control in the world, and so I said (to my group members), "I feel that power in my life is very restraining. I cannot express my true self due to these limitations inflicted upon myself and others." They thought it was pretty moving, and in fact, the girl across from me asked to see it and actually wrote it down, for some reason. Not sure why, maybe just 'cause it sounds kinda cool, or, it could be a yearbook quote, or, something.
Also no work yet, or textbooks, which is nice. Finally, Chinese 3 demonstrated that I can be tired during 6th period, because I did almost fall asleep, again, with me closing my eyes periodically. It ain't the teacher's fault to be honest, I read online that apparently you feel sleepy about 7+ hours after you wake up. 2:30 PM's about 7+ hours after I wake up, so, I probably now know why.
Now for some bits and pieces of random shit, the "catching up" I was talking about. Also a bit of throwback to the 1st season when I recorded funny shit I heard onto a sheet of paper for later reference. Last Friday, as I was walking from 2nd period to break, a dude announced "Notice me senpai! Notice me!" And a couple girls, with a ratchet aura around them, were like "What is he saying?" "It's like some mathy shit." It went something liked that, I wish I could remember exactly what they said 'cause it would've been funnier, but this is close enough.
Now I know a lot of jokes, I know them, don't remember most of them, but I do remember the "senpai" joke, in which instead of "Notice me senpai" it's "Notice me sin pi." Like, sin, in math, and pi, like for circles. if those girls knew the math joke part of it, how do they not know the original phrase? Like, what? Absurd, and, the intitial situation I was like "W-what?" But anyways, just wanted to proclaim that you should not develop false feelings for people online. It's unfortunate that I gotta say that it's happened to me quite a few times, and I've also seen it many times.
Just today, I was looking at some Creatures canon stuff and, stumbled upon a comment that said "They're furries." Yeah. Clicked on the profile, saw that this person had some bomb-ass aesthetic Instagram pictures (made with an app obviously, but still, they looked cool as fuck). So, I followed them, she (yes, a she) requested to follow me almost immediately. I asked her how she made her pictures, and, over the course of 10 minutes (10 minutes for like, 4 screenshots of a fairly basic app), she showed me step-by-step how to make pictures like hers. In those 10 minutes, I saw that she had a Twitter. So, out of curiosity, I went ahead and took a look.
Yep, lots and lots of K-Pop stuff, which is pretty cool. The profile said "NSFW," I have yet to come across somebody posting both K-Pop and NSFW stuff, until now. I went to the media section, saw what she had posted, and, rethought my feelings for a bit. The more I scrolled down, the more I realized that there were a variety of people in this world, a whole ton of variety, let's just say that, heh. Talked to her a bit about K-Pop, she seemed, whatever really, but does like K-Pop a lot. Umm, especially the guys, a lot. And, that's that. Very crazy adventure, just from a comment on Instagram.
But anyways, it's 11:49 PM, I skipped nap-time this afternoon so I'm ready for the sweet release of sleep. See ya.

Monday, August 15, 2016
Week: 2
Songs to Remember: Still 24K - 24K
Unfortunately I'ma have to cut this episode short due to how much I procrastinated on work and gotta draw and do math shit at the same time, and right now, it's 11:22 PM.
So morning, put reams of paper into my locker, headed on to the dance room. I told the teacher that I just transferred to her class, she was like "Aight, here's some papers for you to sign, the date for the recital at the end of the year, etc." And then she noticed "Hey, I had you during freshman year" and I was like "Yeah." Seemed kinda cool that she remembered me, heh. Oh memories of jogging and P.E. Dear lord.
And so everybody was sitting, apparently we're doing a bootleg "collage" in which we have our picture and a quote pasted onto a piece of cardstock, and then the teacher's gonna decorate the room with it. I always wondered which class it was that had students have those things when I was in the dance room. Also, class seemed pretty nice, not too shabby. Then, somebody else came in, saying they transferred as well. It was a KDT member actually, one who is not too fond of boys, heh. I've only talked to her once and that was to give her my contribution to the yearbook ad for KDT's class of 2016.
I also noticed that the teacher asked her if she was friends with Sc, the former secretary of KDT. She asked where she was because I guess she's supposed to be in this class. I was like "Oh, hell, yeah." It's gonna be a KDT party up in this. And, from Instagram, I'm guessing she's on a mini-vacation. Umm, so there's that, I also need tap-dancing shoes and also apparently, you gotta change out to dance clothes for the class. Yep, just like P.E, including lockers.
Math was just what you'd expect: notes and work. We got our quizzes back, and, the teacher didn't grade them (well, started from gave up) and just made it so that it didn't count towards our grade. So that's pretty good. Break, then, Digital Art. As I expected, Bd ain't here anymore in class, but, luckily the dude who was cockle-doodle-blocking me sat somewhere else, and, the girl returned to her original seat. Nothing in class, but I did try to talk to her afterwards. Not gonna lie, didn't turn out the way I expected it to, but I did took initiative, and, judging how I usually act when random people approach me (or, just, people I don't know really), I don't blame her for acting like, freshman year me, heh.
English was just, new seats. This time, alphabetical order, but, I don't hate my seat, it's pretty good. I'm on the very right side, 2nd seat overall. The teacher showed us slides of a ancient America, aaand, asked us about some bootleg questions and wanted us to think of "life' questions, whatever those are, heh. Then it was lunch, the usual cast hangout table, then Government, in which, new seats again. This time, groups, and, temporary seats 'till 3 more weeks. I'm with people I don't really agree with, but, with some bootleg-ass icebreaker activities, they showed that they took initiative and I respect that.
I also proclaimed my memorization skills by having the class and teacher know that I can recite most lines from the The Dark Knight Rises and Spiderman. Hey, I needed something unique, that's what I thought, and, it worked. Finally Chinese, where we got our textbooks and for once seeing all my classmates, I may have misjudged my misfortune. I'm thinking that it ain't so bad and I'm just hoping that the next time we switch seats, I get the god seat. Hoping, and this ain't even a guarantee. Anyways, it's now 11:35 PM, wanna go to sleep after doing this work. See ya.

Sunday, August 14, 2016 "New and Alright."
Sunday, August 14, 2016
Week: 1
Songs to Remember: Alright - Inx
I don't recall having this kind of feeling before, this feeling of, everything's new, I don't know what's gonna happen, and, there's a ton of shit I gotta make sure is stable.
And this feeling comes off of having classes of which I either don't give a fuck about, or, classes in which I'm not sure how they're gonna play out. Either ways, I'm both nervous and excited. Exited-ish. It's only August 14th, which means, about 16+ days 'till CLOG rush.
Also I forgot to mention in the premier episode that there was this one bootleg story the speaker told, in which this one kid didn't dance during this dance when an Eminem song was playing, but instead he danced when it was fucking playing Rednex's "Cotton-eye Joe," heh. It was because of some realization in the kid, but, the best part of the story was the cotton-eye Joe shit. Seriously, that is one hell of a bait-and-switch story if I've ever heard one.
Got lots of papers to sign, again, it's 10:58 PM, I played COD all day with my cousin, actually went tot Wal-mart, a store in which I haven't been in for a while. Also grocery-shopped there with my parents, haven't done that in a while either. Things are looking, alright. That's about it, see ya.

Saturday, August 13, 2016 "Too Early."
Saturday, August 13, 2016
Week: 1
Songs to Remember: Problem - Taewan
I think I do agree with myself that it is too early to judge whether things suck ass or not. I mean it has been only 2 episodes.
Just look at 1st period AP Psych from the last series. Didn't really associate myself with many people in there did I? It was essentially free time, which I enjoyed to an extent (besides the time-consuming projects). And half of the excitement in this series is gonna come from events unrelated to classes anyways, so it ain't the end of world whether I know people in my class or not, or if there's ghetto people or whatever.
Now that today's not a regular episode day, I can actually get out some much needed updates and reports on stuff that I've missed. First off, there's been discussion within the KDT cabinet on the complexity of the ASB CLOG business shit. The president and vice-president talked about whether or not we gotta turn in this monthly sheet on "discussion" or not, and whether or not we gotta submit KDT merch orders through the school ASB organization or not. It's just, really complicated, way more than it's needed to be.
Of course we can "ask," the ASB director of activities directly, but apparently you might get yelled at if you ask "stupid" shit like what I described above. I agree with the KDT president, it is, as if, the director acts like everybody a club or organization knows what happens on the down-low and what to do with paper-work and shit. And, this affects me a lot more than you'd think because I'm the secretary, I manage all the paperwork. We got no treasurer anymore so I gotta do that as well.
Without a good secretary, a club will "crash and burn." And, I do not want to jeopardize KDT under any circumstances. I do not want to ruin and destroy what the former presidents worked so hard on. 4 years, in the making, heh. Currently the KDT president is doing all the work right now, taking down notes, etc. I do feel bad because it is my job to do all the paperwork, but if the president wants to do a part of it because she feels like she needs to be responsible, then, that's her decision and I respect it.
So that's gotten out. As for today, it was all just Call of Duty. Yep, never thought I'd log back on. My cousin was playing it for some reason, "nothing better to do," and uh, I decided "why the fuck not" and joined in. Still the same old, shooty stuff. And still rather easy too. Took a bit for me to get my reflexes back, but I did. Playing a quite a bit today, I realized how addictive this was back in the day. I also realized how the rages were justified. This game makes me mad, but since then I don't really take it all too personally anymore, because in the long-run it is just a game. However, if somebody's a lot younger, I can see why raging would occur, because there are bullshit stuff that makes things seem unreasonable.
That's about it, nothing else new. One thing I wanted to point out- you know Jt, the one who sits next to me in AP Calc? Remember when she told me that she'd put the Bee Movie script as her senior quote? Well I guess it may be a real possibility because during her senior portaits session, she had the photographer take a picture of her with her holding the Bee Movie DVD. Mhmm, nice meme alright, heh. That's it, that's it. It's 12:17 AM, see ya.
Week: 1
Songs to Remember: Problem - Taewan
I think I do agree with myself that it is too early to judge whether things suck ass or not. I mean it has been only 2 episodes.
Just look at 1st period AP Psych from the last series. Didn't really associate myself with many people in there did I? It was essentially free time, which I enjoyed to an extent (besides the time-consuming projects). And half of the excitement in this series is gonna come from events unrelated to classes anyways, so it ain't the end of world whether I know people in my class or not, or if there's ghetto people or whatever.
Now that today's not a regular episode day, I can actually get out some much needed updates and reports on stuff that I've missed. First off, there's been discussion within the KDT cabinet on the complexity of the ASB CLOG business shit. The president and vice-president talked about whether or not we gotta turn in this monthly sheet on "discussion" or not, and whether or not we gotta submit KDT merch orders through the school ASB organization or not. It's just, really complicated, way more than it's needed to be.
Of course we can "ask," the ASB director of activities directly, but apparently you might get yelled at if you ask "stupid" shit like what I described above. I agree with the KDT president, it is, as if, the director acts like everybody a club or organization knows what happens on the down-low and what to do with paper-work and shit. And, this affects me a lot more than you'd think because I'm the secretary, I manage all the paperwork. We got no treasurer anymore so I gotta do that as well.
Without a good secretary, a club will "crash and burn." And, I do not want to jeopardize KDT under any circumstances. I do not want to ruin and destroy what the former presidents worked so hard on. 4 years, in the making, heh. Currently the KDT president is doing all the work right now, taking down notes, etc. I do feel bad because it is my job to do all the paperwork, but if the president wants to do a part of it because she feels like she needs to be responsible, then, that's her decision and I respect it.

Friday, August 12, 2016
Week: 1
Songs to Remember: MichiGo - G-Dragon
It's not going great, no. It's far from perfect either. But uh, I wouldn't say it's going bad, nah. I mean, considering it's only the 2nd day, I'd say it's alright.
First things first, I woke up early again today just to get a scheduling slip. The line moved fairly quickly, considering they just handed 'em out after giving a counseling reason. So there's that. First period was Anatomy, which, I just did whatever for the time being. We're starting out slow and although it may seem easy, that was just like what I felt like in the beginning of AP Bio (sorta). However easy it seemed, I just knew it was gonna do a complete 180 when my guard's down.
Plus, the difficulty is not worth the reward. It's not AP, not an Honors, it's just a regular class, with the difficulty of an Honors/ AP. And for the specifics, we walked around, writing down the "anatomy" of tools and stuff and their functions. I wasn't buying into the easiness any longer. Then came 2nd period and it soon became one of the biggest upsets of the series so far, heh, even though, again, it's only the 2nd episode. There were 2 tests, they didn't take the whole period like I thought, it was actually the complete opposite of that: it was only 7 minutes each test.
And yes, those 7 minutes go by fast. First test was graphing, just, graphing functions. Like, 10 graphs. The next test, ooo, didn't do that great. Others got 46 (around there), I got (in my mind, at least a 40/48) a 29. Mhmm. So what was the 2nd test on? The unit circle. Specifically, filling out the entire thing (coordinates of angles, angles in degrees, radians, etc). I did not study much for this because I did not expect the entire actual thing to be the test, like, the whole thing.
Only about half-way through the test did I manage to find a pattern, but at that point it was a bit too late. I guessed for a bit of the radians, mixed up the (1,0) stuff on the 90 degree angles, and had I only missed those, I maybe would've gotten a 40/48. Yeah, no. I got the positive and negative signs wrong on about, 10+ of the coordinates, and uh, that cost me, 10+ points. If you ever wondered why I started out with a D+ in AP Calc AB, that's why, heh.
Break was soon after, and that was just "the usual," I gotta say. The usual now is just, sitting at the table. 3rd period was Digital Art and I can't believe it either, but I got the biggest cockle-doodle cock-block I've ever witnessed in my life. Okay maybe not the biggest, but it's a big one. I walk in, only to find that that dude from sophomore year English 2A and P.E, the one I don't really want to associate myself with anymore, he just, decides to sit next to me (the right of me).
Normally I wouldn't give too much of a shit, but considering my buddy is probably going to switch to a math tutoring class (to be a tutor), and not gonna be in my 3rd period anymore, I'll be stuck with an empty seat to my left, a cockle-doodle-doo to my right, and, that'll be it. I saw the girl who's seat he took, walked on over to his seat to sit. And ya know, even if he had not taken the seat, even if everybody to me moved down 1 spot, I'd still be in a nice-ass seat, 'cause of more "options." But no, there's, there's a legit wall there.
Monday I'ma attempt to sit in his seat and at least have 1 other person to converse with. Fuck, man. Why? Why? Now I don't even care for 3rd period, it's, it's kinda gone to shit. Out of all my classes, there's, I can't believe I'm saying this, but they're all SHIT, heh. Maybe not 2nd period math, but, it's AP math, so it's on a different scaling than other classes. Anyways, during Digital Art, my buddy jokingly said that he didn't want to listen to the teacher ramble on about pencils for an hour.
I'm like "Hey, I had him before. He's pretty chill." Yeah, except that my buddy wasn't joking. Apparently I didn't remember what the beginning of freshman year's Intro to Graphic Design was, but, I guess it was the same as this because he did in fact ramble on about pencils for a good, 30 minutes or so. Not a joke, he told us about how they're a bit bendy, the lead in 'em, how we only gotta put 'em in the sharpener for a bit, for colored pencils the time in the sharpener is even shorter, etc. Yeah, pencil talk. As for the assignment, we just draw letters from our name, literally draw it with pencil, and then learn to make it on Illustrator and Photoshop and shit.
Today was a different day because we were on a rally schedule. Pretty chaotic considering it's only the 2nd day, but, it's whatever. We had double 3rd period, and since we were in the J-building, we went to the 2nd rally. It wasn't your typical "pep" rally, it was like a Tedx talk, except, the person wasn't from Tedx. She was an inspirational speaker, leading off with analogies like "Who here wears socks to bed? Who here doesn't?" and shit. Then she moved onto foods and I thought it was obesity shit, but it wasn't. She then talked about how she had kids from other schools she spoke at, she let them talk on the mic and praise or apologize to somebody they know, and, whatever.
Just kind of a, let-it-all-out, kinda thing. I'm like "Okay, okay." Well, I guess there were a lot who needed to let it all out because a fair number of students cried doing this, umm, I for one was contemplating asking for the mic to say "I'm gay" into it, but I thought I might get in trouble for uh, not actually being gay and offending gays. I don't know, heh. And yes, the speaker told a story about how a student once used the mic session to announce he was gay, and yeah. After the rally was lunch, and that was again, "the usual." Also, not only does the cast sit at the table, but, Lw's buddies as well. That includes this one girl from KDT, and, this really "smol" girl whom I see sometimes but don't associate with.
4th was English, where, I got a different seat 'cause people still switching around (manually). I had a whatever seat, to be honest, I didn't give a shit anymore. No need to care, no need to try to hard in something where I can probably get an A with my eyes closed. Not degrading the teacher's teaching methods, but because of the low, uh, level that he has to put it in for those who aren't that experienced in higher-level, High school English. What I'm trying to say here is is that I won't be spending too much time focusing in this class because I'll most likely not have to do much to get an A and go.
American Government, uhhh, was 5th, and with more ice-breakers. We were already in our "groups" so we had to come up with group names. Some of the names included "#instinct" and "senioritis." Our group? I didn't give a shit, which is why it's "Ghostbusters." Just, Ghostbusters. It was actually "Ghostbusters 2k17," but, the teacher didn't read the 2k17 part, so now it's just Ghostbusters. We had to write down stuff we thought the teacher expected of us, circle the most important ones, the teacher reads them out, explains more in-depth, etc.
At around 1:45 PM, I had to leave for my scheduling appointment. I arrived to the office at exactly 1:45 PM, and there was a line. I'm thinking, somebody was holding shit up (actually, some people, more than one), which is why it's backed up. Waited about 10 minutes before I actually got to talk to my counselor. Praying to the gods, I asked about the Korean class shit. She checks again, and, it's full. I proposed maybe if I could speak with the teacher, ask her if she's willing to teach 1 more student. The answer I got was that there's no problem with that, but, there is literally (and I mean literally), no more seats.
Like, physical, chairs and desks, in the classroom, and apparently it's a tiny classroom. As sad as I was to agree, I was. I understood, you know, too many seats and it's a fire hazard or some shit, ehhh, it's more on the practicallity side of things. She did, however, ask me for my ID and said she'd contact me if someone drops out of the class. Hey, I'll take it. Just before leaving, I ask to get out of Anatomy (before shit hits the fan) and asked for, well, Beginner Dance, heh. Hey, since I miss KDT practices so much, fuck it. FUCK IT. You want to become legend in KDT, Drew? Might as well start practicing for a grade with it.
And I do know who's teaching it. It's my uh, P.E teacher during the jogging unit. She's nice, and also doesn't have much reviews on RateMyTeacher because somebody misspelled her name and she's hard to find on there 'cause of that. On the dancing class part, however, I have no idea how it's gonna go, no idea. I do know, however, that at the end of the year, there's gonna be a "recital." Like, a solo dance thing, or like, you perform on stage. And well, I do have experience with that, so, no trouble.
I'm in for a surprise, heh. At least I know I won't crash and burn eventually in Anatomy. That's a good thing. Finally, 6th period was Chinese, in which, it's really just whatever. I got no real contact with anybody besides Zl and video-game buddy behind me. The dude I sat next to wasn't here today, the teacher didn't call out Lt's name so, guessing she switched classes. I'm just like "Well, there goes the twist factor." Things have really settled from just one episode.
But then again, it's only been one episode since the premier. Maybe Dance class can redeem itself, just maube. But for now, it's 1:12 AM and I just finished a League game, discussed Pawn Stars memes, and posted a picture of my senior picture on Facebook all about an hour ago. That's it for today, see ya. Oh and also forgot to mention 1st-time character appearances on the series, including Cy (the persona girl.). See ya.
