Songs to Remember: Broccoli - D.R.A.M

        One day later aaand, I finished my story for English. Still gotta do the art though but that's a different story.

        I also gotta set up the Lunar show audition mix for KDT by this Thursday 'cause we're gonna be practicing with it this Friday. As for tomorrow, that's gonna be practice for Sistar's "I Like That," oh which, I'm not gonna be part of, but I will stay just to, fuck around. And it's Halloween, so maybe I can get an invite to something. 'Cause right now, nobody's got shit planned. I didn't realize until today, I was like "Holy fucking shit, TOMORROW'S FUCKING HALLOWEEN."

        Now I don't have a costume or anything, but, still, I wanna do something spooky, even if it ain't trick 'or' treating. And, I want to be outside, not inside, like, fucking, reading creepypastas, heh. I don't even "feel" feel spooky, but considering Halloween only comes once a year, you gotta make it special. Maybe Cy can hook stuff up or something. The shittiest part about all this is it's gonna be all impromptu. Like, this planning will be done THE DAY OF.

        KDT practice is gonna end at 4:30 PM so people can get ready for Halloween and shit. But anyways, this day, I had another nightmare, or dream, whatever you wanna call it. It was similar to those I had during freshman year, in terms of like, the people who are in it. It was like, the plot of "Hotel Transylvania," but like, Cy was the daughter of Dracula. Crazy, I know, I know, and there's definitely something going on. And what was weird was that today my dad turned on the TV and there was a channel airing a showing of "Dracula." Coincidence? I think so.

        So yeah, I finished a big load of work, still got, another big load to finish, but uh, ya know, it's whatever. I have Chinese work due but that will be done in uh, 4th period Digital Art. And it's not like "Damn Drew, don't you got a bunch of projects due in there right now." I'm actually pretty far ahead compared to some people in there. Hell, some are still working on the "putting-an-image-into-text" project, or even the pumpkin design one. Like damn, it doesn't take that long. So I ain't worried about that. I'm worried that this period will turn into a "homeroom" sort of period, of which I will be concerned since that'll mean senioritis will have hit me HARD. I mean it sorta is but, you get what I mean.

        But anyways, the Halloween special for this series might be shit, or, might be one of the best out of all the others (really there was only one other that stood out, which was the last series' Halloween special while the rest was just me sitting at home. So, not that hard to top). I'll see what comes next. It's 11:33 PM, see ya.

        Well, I'm tired. Very tired. Not from work, or at least, not yet, but tired from being out all day.

        I had a nightmare this morning. It was about how like, in KDT, we didn't plan anything for the VIXX "Chained Up" dance or the BTS "Fire" dance. Like, we didn't even start practicing or whatever, ans we were going to be performing in 3 hours (the clock was 8:00 PM, we were to perform at 11:00 PM). The location looked like the map "Plaza" from Black Ops 2 for some reason. And so like, I asked Mt "Yo, what about Fire or VIXX?" As in like, "Are we gonna perform them, were we supposed to learn the dance ourselves and follow the formations from the choreo videos?"

        And she would just avoid the question, she wouldn't answer it directly. So yeah, woke up in a hot sweat because of that. It was like a "Holy shit, I gotta learn a dance in 3 hours." Woke up, was like "Holy shit it was just a dream," hit the snooze button, and went back to sleep. Hit the snooze button repeatedly 'till 11:00 AM, did the usual Saturday morning routine, went to the local mall with Jk, looked around for shit, he got a windbreaker, I got one (it was only $30 which was pretty cheap compared to the others that were sold there. They were like, $60+, and the one I got was on clearance sale as well, so).

        We talked about miscellaneous stuff, walked around (a lot), etc, etc. It was about 6:00 PM that uh, I had Ec pick me up to go out to eat (we got In 'n' Out), aaand, then went "thrifting" afterwards. And then we went to my house. I "copped" myself a Calvin Klein, whatever, sweater-shirt thing. $4 by the way, so, pretty good.

        We watched a couple episode of season 15 of Hell's Kitchen, and then watched the final final match of uh, the season 6  League World championships. Pretty boring 40 minutes I gotta say. Now this all doesn't seem like a lot, but I was out for, maybe, from 1:30 PM to 10:30 PM. That's, that's quite a while. The uh, the cast or the Discord buddies still don't know what's planned for Halloween. I'm uh, really banking on some real spooky adventures like, going to the Winchester mystery house or something 'cause right now, shit ain't spooky, heh.

        It's 12:10 AM, I'm physically tired (probably from all the walking) and, tomorrow will be pretty much just work. See ya.

        Boy, am I tired. This uh, this, I'm just very tired. It's 12:08 AM right now and if I still had school tomorrow, I don't think I'd survive.

        So, Dance was just a test, and study time. Math, I got hit with a curve-ball for the last question on the test. It was for something that, well, something that I didn't bother to remember, because we didn't do shit problems with it. But I guess the teacher was like "Ya know what? Fuck it" and put it on there, just for me.

        Break was rainy, whole day was pretty rainy (not as rainy as yesterday though). Digital Art was just me finishing some more of that story for English, English was the exact same as Digital Art. The teacher didn't actually get the time to check mine's, so, there's that. Lunch, we had lunch in the theater for uh, I guess because our table was really wet and we didn't want to sit down on wet seats. It was just me, Jk, Ag, and Lw for the most part. I gotta say, things have definitely refined. Not precisely, not yet at least, but things have, narrowed down. Oh and uh, yeah, today I did not feel it either. I know, I know, but I really did not feel 100%. It was more like a, 75%? -Ish? I do have things planned though, and when I do feel 100%, I'ma give it my 100%. Also, best part, Cy doesn't own a PS4, but I do, so when Persona 5 does come out, I could be like "Hey, you could come over to my house and play it." Boom, that's it.

        Gov was next, in which we just worked on shit, as a work day. And also a bit of lecture. Got that argumentative paper due, uhh, Tuesday night. And finally, Chinese, in which we just worked on work, and, wrote questions on the board and all that. After school, you might have been expecting Yn to make a guest appearance, but, unfortunately, she said she could not come today. And I don't blame her, the traffic sucks ass, heh. Guess we're gonna have to wait on another day.

        But as for KDT practice, went pretty smoothly. It was in the dance room, we did formations for ASTRO's "Hide and Seek," umm, not bad for the first day of formations. And as for the rest of today, Ec was like "Yo I'm coming to your house at 8:00 PM." I'm like "Dude." He came over anyways, luckily my dad's cool with it. We played GTA V and like, League. And banter. Tomorrow, we'll be thrift-shopping and getting them deals for like, Black Friday or whatever. I'm guessing it's every Friday from now until after Thanksgiving.

        And as for the cast, Jk and I are gonna be at the local mall and do some shopping for clothes I guess. And as for Halloween, oh boy. I just haven't been feeling it, and I don't blame it on getting older, no. I blame it on all the fucking work being stacked up like Jenga, all over this weekend, and then after. Like, why? It's absurd, absurd that I have, considering the classes I have, this much, when two of my classes don't even give out homework. Crazy. By the way, we're starting the Hip-Hop unit next week for Dance, hell, yeah. Now that, I'm excited for. Not sure how it's gonna be taught, but I am excited. Anyways, again, I'm tired, heh, it's 12:23 AM, gonna head to bed to get ready a night out tomorrow. Alright, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Better Day - 100%, The Eye - Infinite

        These past few days I've been just having the deepest naps. And it's not like I have much work due each day, but that I have a shit-ton due all on a few days.

        Dance was, aw fuck. I just remembered there's a test tomorrow for Dance, on the history of tap-dancing and shit. Hopefully my memorization skills will be on point tomorrow, as uh, I'll only have like 5 minutes to review and remember names of people. But today, today was just, uh, review and whatnot. Math, math was work, heh. Break, it was raining. Not hard, more of just a uh, light sprinkle. Digital Art, started cropping out myself from pictures for the "miniature me" project." English, it was just, random. We watched a bootleg video on the medieval ages or whatever, ya know with the bubonic plague and shit.

        We also had a group share out their story's setting and another group do their proposition presentation. Just a bunch of things stitched together. Oh, fuck me. I also just remembered that uh, the teacher's gonna check our progress for our stories tomorrow. And guess what time it is right now? Yeah, 11:58 PM. Looks like I'ma have to worry less about the quality of my story and uh, more on getting this shit DONE. I do value sleep over quality of work, even if I do really like it.

        Lunch was whatever, Gov, we got our old assessments back, watched the rest of the period's commercials, etc. Chinese, did our vocabulary quiz, then worked on Blendspace with Chromebooks. Tomorrow's definitely gonna be exciting, and maybe for once, after all this week, join Cy for lunch convo's. Alright, time to write. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Better Day - 100%, Hit Me - MOBB

        I realize that a lot of things is starting to come around by the end of this week. By that I mean plans for the weekend, Halloween, due dates, projects, the like.

        Dance was actually just an explanation of, you guessed it, a project. Just, just stack 'em all up for me fam, just stack 'em up like a Jenga tower. Anyways, we're supposed to research a type of dance, do a presentation about it, including a slideshow presentation, and uh, also demonstrate the dance (or a dance) of that type, as well as teach the class a snippet of it. And, as you guessed, I picked K-Pop. There were a couple others who wanted to do it, specifically Sc and her buddy, as well as this one girl who's new to KDT. Sc and her buddy settled on Chinese fan dances, and the other settled on J-Pop (which, is basically the exact same thing but, in a different language).

        It's not as bad as other projects since the teacher will be giving us like, two in-class days to work on it in the library next week, but like, I gotta learn some more dances and I'm already falling pretty lazy in uh, rehearsing the ones for KDT already. But, at least it's not like, a whole essay or a story, unlike some other classes. Math, fortunately it was a group quiz, and fortunately, I did get carried a bit. I mean I did know how to do it, it's just that, I just needed a little, "push," in the right direction. But for real though, I did know how to do them, just, needed confirmation on some answers.

        I'm pretty sure I got a 100%, which is nice. Umm, no break 'cause it was Wednesday, Digital Art, just worked on work, I still need to take a picture of myself so I can manipulate it for a future project. And yeah, it's due tomorrow, so just gonna do whatever, I don't have to try as hard for this class as I should. 'Cause really, why? Unless I got time to burn, or, I really, really want to. For this project, I don't. English, on the board it's been written "Epic poem due Thursday." Unfortunately, the teacher meant THIS Thursday, as in tomorrow, but fortunately, he said he'd extend the due date. So uh, that saved me a lot of coffee drinking today, heh. Like, it would not take me long to make up a story fitting the criteria, but, I do wanna make it good just for my intrinsic motivation of this being a project in which I get full creative uhhh, what's the word? Control? Full creative control, so I do like to take advantage of that.

        And no, I don't need to try so hard for just regular English of which I already have an A+ in, but, again, I just want to, because, I want to. Lunch, now you might be thinking "Ooo Drew, he 'bout to do it." Nah, I, I didn't do anything actually, the reason being I was just not in the mood, I felt like shit, I was not 100%, and if I don't feel 100%, I can't and don't give 100%. And I, I wanna start it off strong. Now, I already have created a sort of leniency with Cy. From 5th period to 6th, I do approach her and then walk along-side her instead of waiting for a moment to be like "Oh hey Cy" like a in "Oh, didn't see ya there, what's happening fam?"

        Lunch was whatever, and, Gov, we finished our simulation of an election. We each represented a state, the candidates approached the ones they wanted, asked us to vote for them, etc. And uh, yeah, it was, pretty interesting to say the least. It was a simulation, I got a hands-on experience of the basics of how elections work, etc. Still got an argumentative paper due November 2nd, so. And finally Chinese, of which we didn't really do much, just, filled out a worksheet packet in class, read, etc.

        I finished about, 2-and-a-half more KDT apparel designs, submitted 'em, we're gucci. I just gotta work on art for the story for English, finish some Chinese work, finish math, take my picture for Digital Art, and, leave the rest for after Halloween, heh. Specifically writing shit. Even when I have two to three classes which don't give out shit for homework, I still feel up to the brim. Not near-drowning like last year, but close. It's 10:50 PM, see ya.

Tuesday, October 25, 2016 "Substituting Stress."

Tuesday, October 25, 2016
Week: 12
Songs to Remember: Better Day - 100%

        So much stress can be reduced by having just one substitute for a class for two days. It's unbelievable, and, also shows how much time is wasted in class.

        Not from my end, but from the teacher's end. Kinda pointless stuff, I'd rather learn later and not be stressed now, rather than, learn now and be stressed at the same time. Shit just doesn't work out. But anyways, Dance. Finished our testing, and uh, yeah, just gonna work on the class choreo for now I guess. Math, still the same old, same old. Digital Art, we had a substitute, but didn't matter. Also we had to write a paper arguing whether computer-generated art is art or not, but it didn't matter 'cause it's kinda, pointless, freelo, etc.

        English, where took notes. Yeah, what can you really expect? Lunch, now, I kinda, kinda "pussied" out this time. I was "Man, I'm here walking right next to Cy, she's in a small convo with her buddy, I don't, should I take it away, or, what- what is there to talk about?" I gotta come up with some excuses to talk, and it's, pretty hard considering we don't have any classes together, so I can't just be like "Hey, what was the homework" or "How was the test?" I'll think of something tomorrow. For right now, it's pretty much whatever, minus the fact that I got a math quiz tomorrow (which fortunately I've heard is a group quiz) as well as a math test on Friday.

        Gov, well, we uh, put together a national convention for Republicans and Democrats. That was what it was called. And, it went pretty well, the teacher definitely got people in the mood, feel, patriotic-y about their own party. Pretty cool. And finally, the best part of the day, for once, Chinese. The teacher was still sick so we had a substitute again. And of course, we got the whole period to fuck around and do homework, which was a godsend. I now realize that I didn't do the lesson recording, so I'll do that now.

        Alrighty. In other news, Yn texted me today (or tonight really, about an hour or so ago) telling me she could come this Friday to bring me my milk tea, heh. She's like "What time should i come?" and I was like "Maybe after school where I'm staying from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM for KDT practice." And she's like "Nah, maybe, 2:00 PM or so, I wanna beat the traffic." I'm thinking like "Is that really the only reason...I mean, it's whatever really." So yeah, guess we're gonna have to cut our reunion a bit short since that's during passing period and it's not like I can say "Hey can I go outside and get some milk tea from my buddy?"

        But uh, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Right now, tired, it's 11:44 PM, hoping things will clear up soon. See ya.

        I probably said this in another post already but being the dumbass that I am, I didn't remember Cv's exact schedule when she sent it to me on Snapchat when I asked about it. Luckily with my deduction skills, I was able to located where her 4th period is, and fortunately, her 4th period is like, a couple classrooms away in the same building as mine.

        This morning I was greeted by a message from Ct. I was like "Aw no, here we go again." She asked me "Is this you on Snapchat" and included a picture of a Snapchat profile which, has my real name on it, but not my correct username. I'm like "Alright, alright, here you go."

        And no, messaged didn't send back and forth as prevalent as you'd think. Just, one lined banter every, 30 minutes or so. And I don't blame any of us, ya know, I do have class so can't get too enticed in them. Also I was, pretty tired today, mostly during 2nd and 4th. Anyways, here it is. Dance, we did our testing of some tap moves, and uh, we didn't get to finish today so we're gonna continue this tomorrow.

        Math, you guessed it, just work and notes. Digital Art, as I've said 100 times before, nothing special. English, uhhh, we did some notes, watched a video, but, I kinda dozed off in intervals, so I didn't get to see much of the content. When the bell rang, I was used some deduction like "Hmm, well I've seen here walk this way during lunch before when I'm walking to the lunch line. But her 4th period could only be one of these three classes, with that knowledge, maybe her 4th period is somewhere here." I turn to the left out the door instead of the right, find her walking with her buddy, exchange greetings, circle around.

        I'm like "Well, I'm a better detective than I thought." So ya'll know what's gonna come forth this week. I would'a went and started a walking convo, but uh, I had a KDT meeting today, which was, just, re-informing info, uhh, restating stuff, dates, nothing really new. Umm, as for updates on the cast, Ek's a science camp counselor of this week. DrewN hangs out with his GF during break (I never, ever really use that word), but still eats lunch with us during lunch.

        5th period, we prepared in setting up a mock, uhh, party election thing. Ya know, when parties announce their chosen candidate and stuff, we're doing that. People get assigned roles if they want, etc, etc. I gotta make a 1-minute speech, which is okay since it's only 1 minute. And finally, Chinese, of which we had a substitute. He was a chill guy, he uh, asked us about our race when doing attendance, which, it does seem sorta weird on paper, but uh, since it was a language and culture class, it makes sense. It was surprising to learn how some people, although they look a specific race, may be, a different race.

        We worked on work in class, so no work for home, all's good. Didn't really get a chance to work on my designs but that's fine. Actually, almost forgot to mention, I got two people who commented on my senior sweater design today. One of them, a classmate from 6th grade who is also in my math class, asked about my design, I said that I made it myself, she asked a for copy of the picture so she can order her own. I'm like "Yeah sure, I'll send it to you."

        Things are ramping up, both in events and work to be honest, because I got a long-ass story due next week, have yet to start on it, I got a math quiz on Wednesday, test on Friday, work on my designs, do some side-choreo making for dance, etc. But ya know, things could change without a moment's notice, who knows. Anyways, see ya.

        I said that some things were moving fast and that I'd need to act upon that as soon as possible. Not tomorrow though, because there's a KDT meeting tomorrow at lunch.

        Not much going on today besides some Doom Bots with Ec, designing some designs, and, working on work. For breakfast my dad drove me and himself to get some pho for breakfast. And then, that was, that was also my lunch as well I guess since I we ate at around 1:00 PM.

        Then on the way home, my dad decided to stop by the humane society place nearby to have me look at some doggo's and puppers. Yep, there were uh, there were puppers alright. And then after that my usual, stay-home sorta schedule. Nothing much else going on, besides, ya know, stuff. It's 11:43 PM, I'm tired, things are floating, however some things are going fast, and, see ya.

        First day without my mom being at home, ends up with being bored for 4 hours, and, having my buddies watch "The Wolf of Wall-street" at my house, up 'til 12:30 AM (and we only got halfway through).

        So my dad was down for getting me some sunglasses at this sporting goods store, because there was "sale" going on, from a newspaper ad. Umm, so I got some sunglasses now. We drove to some grocery stores that were fairly far away from our house to get some groceries. Afterwards, headed to Taco Bell for lunch, then, I went with my Discord buddies to do some mini-golf, at like, 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

        It was me, Dv, Ec, and Mc. Mc went home after the golfing, Dv, Ec, and I went out to eat ramen at this bootleg milk tea place (of which was my first time having ramen, of which, did not taste as good as I thought it was going to be. I forgot that it was Japanese ramen and not Korean ramen). It was only 10:00 PM at that time, and we were still pretty awoke, so, they decided they wanted to chill at my house and I was like "Aight, but it depends on my dad."

        He was asleep, and uh, we just watched "The Wolf of Wall-street," about half of it. Luckily my stayed asleep and didn't check up on us (or me) during any of the not-safe-for-work scenes. And then they left. I was uh, I was not disappointed in how this night went out. It was just, just a nice, relaxing night with my buddies.

        Ec actually was asking me if I was going to this uh, night-time charity walk called "Light the Night." Guess it's pretty popular with the young folks because Ek and Lw went, Jk went, KDT people went, it was all over my Snapchat and I was like "Okay what the fuck, if I knew this many people were going, I woulda fucking went." But I didn't and so, to compensate for that, I ate ramen, went mini-golfing at night, and, watched "The Wolf of Wall-street" with my buddies.

        But yeah, relaxing day I suppose. I got some, designs for the KDT apparel done, as well as... that's about it actually, heh. Still got Chinese work to do, English work, math work, etc.

Week: 11

Songs to Remember: 1 of 1 - SHINee, Strange - MASC, 

        You never know when there' gonna be a plot twist anymore. The writers are seriously trying to make this series unlike any other, whilst still keeping noticeable similarities from all the series combined.

        Apparently my mom's gonna be at my grandmothers for two weeks, or at least, that's what my dad said. I think he meant one week because I'm not sure how two weeks of my dad handling the stuff my mom does for me, like, driving me to school and shit, will go. But I guess for the writers, there's a time for everything, and apparently it's, now.

        So as already stated, today was filled with a lot of shit. Dance, we took a vocab test, nothing too special. Teacher performed a tap move, we had to write down what the name of that move was. Math, literally just work on work in class. Break, been the same, just, me meeting up with Jk and then walking to our lockers, and then to our table. However, upon meeting up with Jk, he tells me that "[indiscernable] follow [indiscernable]." I'm like "What?" "Vh, she told me she wanted me to follow her." And although I did hear what he said, I was still like "What?"

        And then Vh passes on by, she's walking along with this dude. Not exactly too relevant to the past couple series but uh, to describe him, he's currently in my math class, however we aren't seated next to each other so we don't actually talk. He was with me and my boy Ad during the first KDT practice workshop I attended (sophomore year, when he was a freshman), as well as being there for practice and auditions for KDT last year, although he did not make it through auditions.

        Back to the present, I see Vh and him, they were walking side by side. I tell Jk "Hey, that's Vh right there." My eyes basically turn into a pair of magnetized, magnifying binoculars, because I remember my attention being abruptly fixated on Vh's hand. It were holding his hand. And my mind's trying to calculate this, like I was doing multiplication in my head or whatever, except this time it was like "Hand holding equals relationship, but this is  Vh we're talking about, and, error, and, error, error." So I was like a 75% on the "they're dating" conclusion. Jk explains to me "She told me 'Blank kissed me and I don't know what to do. Follow me and report back to me on what you see.'"

        I see them holding hands, and, Jk just gets right into it and tells me they've already kissed. And it wasn't Vh who initiated it either. So at that point, Jk and I were following from a distance behind, watching them. I told him "This is on some next-level shit right here." Didn't wanna tell him how I felt about all this, mostly because, what good would it do? And I do this shit too much anyways that I end up, not doing anything. I just say things to make myself feel good and have it seem as if I did do it. There's articles and research on this shit you could look up.

        Anyways, they uh, they went to go get brunch, Jk and I just walked to our lockers and to our table afterwards. I'm thinking "Unexpected. Very unexpected. Caught me off guard. The writers, they got me good, they are seriously, doing crazy shit this series, really going all out here." Third period comes, I just, drew, listened to music, whatever. English, we finally finish Beowulf, the movie. The climax battle was really, really hardcore, heh. Also the ending was more, mysterious than I thought it would be. Overall it was a nice-ass movie for its time (2007). I give it a 8/10, pretty good movie.

        Lunch, umm, just the same old, same old. Gov, we had our uh, mock debate today. Six people had to get in teams of three's, with one person in each being a mock candidate and the other two being their team members, of which were decided a couple days ago, and, debate and be asked questions by us, the audience. The two winning candidate from each party gets to skip the next assessment. Then, the person who wins the next debate and election, between them and the candidate from the other party, gets to skip the next assessment AND, get a free grade boost equivalent to, I don't know, like 1/4 of a letter grade, which is really nice.

        I would've done it had I known you didn't have to do much for it. I thought that I probably would not win, and uh, just, receive extra work, for no reward. Just maybe, just because the reward was pretty tempting. Anyways, An, the girl who sits next to me in Gov, wasn't here today so I was given freedom to talk to Cy, who was walking from her usual route. Her 5th period is Economy, which is in the same building as my Gov class, because it's the history class building. She told me 'bout how she won't have her phone for a few days as her parents are going to be sending it to New York for repair and or to get it reset because they think it's broken.

        Now I know what you're thinking: NO I'M NOT BEING CUCKED HERE. It does seem ridiculous that somebody's parents think their daughter's phone is messed up and decide to send it to New York where it was made or whatever, to get it reset/ fixed. I have evidence that this is real and that I'm not getting cucked. First of all, she posted an announcement on her Snap story the day before. Second of all, she ain't that kinda person. So, yeah.

        I do seem naive, yes, gullible, to some extent, but I know particular people, and she just so happens to be one of those people. Anywho, gonna have to get on that uh, "option" train quick, because shit is moving FAST. I'll explain later. Chinese, nothing too special, just, made a tiny paper book, wrote sentences in it, use vocab, draw, color, etc. After school there was the KDT group photo, for yearbook of course. Made it just in time, sat next to Jb and the rest of the cabinet in the front row. And yeah, took about 2 minutes (for me at least), and uh, I told my mom I was gonna be staying after school for maybe an hour 'cause I thought people would still hang around and whatever afterwards.

        I forgot that there was KDT practice today for those in Red Velvet's "Ice Cream Cake," and so, I decided to stay for the full two hours, aka, until 5:00 PM. It felt just like last year, just, sitting there sometimes, on the rugged floor part of the dance room, on my phone, or, watching people practice. Other times I'd be standing, or, conversing, whatever, during break and whatnot. Really did remind of last year. Thinking back on it, holy shit was that a lot of wait time, heh. On days where there were multiple dances being practiced, I had to wait a while before getting to practice, and then only to sit down after the practice for the dance that I was in, was done. Crazy times, naive times.

        Now moving onto the fast stuff. DrewN tells the group chat, ya know, with the cast and I, that he had a bomb-ass time (again, not what he exactly said, just, what he said but in my vocabulary and terms), that things went way better than expected, and, he'll tel us more on Monday. Didn't respond to us after that, on, anything really. About an hour or so later, I refresh my Facebook feed and see "In a relationship." Unfortunately, Heart2Heart's song "Facebook Official" (shown to me by my great Gov teacher), applies here.

        Yeah I could'a seen this coming, but like, I didn't, like, think it was gonna happen. Or at least so early. Like shit dude, this is the first date. FIRST. And Homecoming does not count, that's, that's different. He said that he was gonna go to the movies with her this Friday, aka today, and I guess it ended up, like what he said, "Better than expected." But yeah, it's, it's hard to grasp. "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality."

        So far there's been, too many, way too many twists to the setting and characters within Precisely Refined. I can see why there's been so many casual episodes, so that the writers can slip in this shit without us expecting it. Well then, it's 1:08 AM, my mom's gonna be heading to the bus to LA in about, seven, eight hours, for one, two weeks. I've gotten the a bit of choreography done, as well as a coupe designs for the KDT apparel (of which, the article of clothing has still yet to be decided). Tomorrow, just gonna be all that, except with some work. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Tiimy Turner - Desiigner, Dangerous - MC GREE

        I'm living in a time where a rapper by the name of Desiigner is only a couple years older than me, and, he's already made more money than I ever will in my life. Also, people really like "Closer" by The Chainsmokers and some still treat you like you're a toddler.

       So I it doesn't seem like I'll be taking my naps anytime soon. I'm still pretty pissed on the psychological stress I had to be induced to this morning, so, I guess angry counter-acts tired by giving me motivation to, just, be pissed off rather than be sleeping, heh.

       Dance was alright, we got a small history lesson on tap-dancing, best part was that we didn't have to change. Math, we got our texts back, I was one silly mistake off a hard C 70%. Other than that, nothing new. Break, was break, Digital Art was Digital Art (of which we've started on our Keith Harring designs) and English was just us sharing out our worldviews for our stores. Basically the plot and setting.

        Lunch was the same as usual. Gov, umm, well, we presented our commercials, about, 3/4 of the class got the time for it. And uh, it was a lot funnier than when I was working on it. Probably because I was just so done, that I just, wanted to get it done. But yeah, people really liked it, teacher really liked it, there's no contest though, not like a "whose commercial was the best." Just, whatever. And finally Chinese, where we have Chromebooks to do online work.

        I finished my work today before, 7:00 PM, which is nice. Only because I didn't have that much to do, and was fueled by anger. Doom Bots "The Teemoing" was released today for League. Played it, tried level 100 bots, started hating it because it's near impossible, as well as there being literally no reward for beating level 100 bots (as of today). I was actually looking forward to it all but I just ended up being disappointed.

        My mom's going to my grandmother's house to visit next week, not sure what that's all about but I didn't ask, nor do I want to ask. That means my dad's gonna pick me up and shit from school. And, today I made progress with some options. Cv and I are on a 3 streak on Snapchat, which will unfortunately end because she won't have access to her phone for the next couple days. We also talked a bit on Snapchat, I managed to get some intel on her classes, and it's just for the routes, okay, that's all there is.

        Starting it slow, build up, and build up a strategy. Umm, apparently tomorrow we're gonna be taking KDT group pictures by the bleachers. It's kinda like, from last year how there was a picture taken on the first day of the first KDT workshop, and it's great to see how much the club has grown from each year. I guess we didn't get to that until, now, heh. Nothing really due this weekend, so that's good, because Ill probably be spending time on creating designs for the KDT merchandise. It's a nice way to get my advertisement out there, as well as, offer free services, and, get some practice in.

        And yeah, pretty much it I guess. Not much else to say but I do think I forgot something. Oh uh, yeah I'll think up the songs I wanna do for my choreography this weekend, then finally finalize some moves. Alrighty, see ya.

        So no real post for today, mostly because it's 2 fucking AM right now, and because it was basically the same as, any other day.

I would be asleep by now if it weren't for my PC being shit and candle handle a couple Chrome tabs (which I do need) and Sony Vegas at the same time. Anyways, gonna finish that, math work, and Chinese research summary (not just any summary, but a cooking step-by-step one). Alrighty, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Dripping (뚝뚝뚝) - RionFive (리온파이브)

        Four songs, four series, one mix. It's perfect.

        So, in Dance, the teacher talked a bit about how choreographies are gonna work. You can choreograph one dance, and, it has to be about two minutes. I asked about the originality of the choreographer and the teacher said she'd prefer if I were to, make a bit of it my own. If I used the included choreography with a song, like for example, Infinite's "The Eye," choreography, then in the playbill or whatever, that company, for example Woolim Entertainment, would have to be credited.

        I'm like "Man, fuck that shit, that's as nasty as fuck." So, not wanting to taint the playbill of this year's recital with shitty company names, I've decided to do all the dances to my songs, originally. That means, moving my body until I find something that feels or looks cool, then write it down for later. I've so far got a choreo done for Nu'est's "GoodBye Bye," and I've pretty much got it memorized. However, I don't think it's all that great. Probably gonna scrap it because uh, I didn't realize I wanted to do a song from each series until now, and I'm not really feeling Nu'est's "GoodBye Bye" anymore.

        But anyways, Dance was just practice, info, etc. Umm, yeah so two minute mix choreo, with four songs, thirty seconds each. As for math, just work as usual. Break, as usual. Digital Art, as usual, and English, the teacher's back. We finished up most proposition presentations, gonna be doing uh, a vocab quiz tomorrow. Nothing to sweat. Lunch, DrewN wasn't present 'cause he was busy hooking up with that girl he went to Homecoming with, heh. Gov, basically, has turned into "The Breakfast Club." I didn't notice until the girl next to me (I'ma just give 'em all names: An, Dy, and Sn), An, mentioned how everybody at our table's so different, but we still connect with each other. I'm like "Holy shit, this is the Breakfast Club."

        And yeah, notes and all that in Gov. Also apparently she goes with me on my route now to Chinese, which, really coincides with how I want to interact with Cy. Yeah, I think that's her name. I've waved my "hi"s from 1st to 2nd, and uh, used to, but hoping to continue to, 5th to 6th. Speaking of 6th period, yeah it was pretty much nothing, except how the teacher told us about her daughter, 8 years of being together with her boyfriend, broke up with him, because of the reason: "He is so gay." Holy fucking shit, that was a wild ride.

        Now, it's 12:30 AM, still finishing up Chinese work, haven't really started yet on math. Why am I not finished yet? Well, I blame it on my procrastination by doing my choreography, practicing it now and today, even though the teacher doesn't wanna see a demonstration of it until January, after Christmas break. Yeahhh. Anyways, gonna get back to work and finding songs. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Dangerous - MC GREE (MC그리)

        I'm just gonna say it up-front: my parents are gonna get a divorce. Why? One, they ain't gonna live together forever once I leave for college, or, after.

        Secondly, it's for me to get more money out of financial aid. I looked it up and apparently you can do that. At first I was, well, shocked, at hearing that word. My mom just said it casually though, not like sitting me down and like, tell me all about it (this was yesterday by the way).

        My parents do get along on most things, but for some stuff, it leads to different views, and therefore, they just wouldn't click. They still are, to be honest, great friends. I'd say best friends. They're just, not really husband and wife anymore, there's no real "love" left. There is, however, companionship, and I think it's for the best, for everybody. I think everybody's taking it pretty well because, for one, I'm gonna be off to college and uh, my parents, they've done all they could for me for these 17 (will be 18 years soon) years.

        And two, I'm, I'm older now and I understand what a divorce is. I'd imagine if they did this when I was a bit younger, I'd, maybe cry. A lot. Actually, it's a positive on the cry, heh. Umm, the best thing about all of this, or, the most positive outlook on all of this is: that my parents are not doing this out of hatred for each other. It didn't, and will not, end with yelling or high-tempered heads. It's instead met with logic, and, what guarantees the best possible future for me, something mutual that they both agree. So that's nice, heh, I guess.

        But anyways, back to the day. Dance, we went over the dance again for those who forgot it over the weekend (like me sorta). Added a couple more moves, and, that's it. Math, unfortunately, the teacher did not check homework, so, I finished it for nothing. Sure, I uh, I didn't have to do math work today, but, I didn't really get to sleep last night because of it. And, I got a 60% on the test, which was multiple choice. I blame it on the tricky-ass problems that the teacher picked out of the possible ones she could've picked. Break, was fine. Digital Art, I wrapped up my pumpkin design, based the face off of Sans from UnderTale (but have yet to actually play past the first 2 minutes of it). And uh, the next projects are, taking a picture of yourself and manipulating it so you look like you've shrunken (think "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" or "The Ant Bully").

        Another project is putting images into text, which is pretty easy since I have done that multiple times before. It's gonna take me about 5 minutes to do so, there's that, heh. English, my teacher was in Oregon for something so we had a substitute. We basically just watched more of "Beowulf" (the 2007 version). It's surprisingly good. If you count out the nakedness of the Grendel fight, it's a legit movie. Lunch, was the same as usual. Gov, it was a workday, just, work on whatever project you wanna do, whether it be the commercial, or, research for the final project.

        My tablemates and I exchanged a few laughs about some NSFW stuff, heh. Brought up everybody's spirits, as well as revealing to me how descriptive one can be when describing NSFW acts. And finally Chinese, where we switched seats and I got an above average one. I'd rate it a 8/10, maybe even a 9 actually. That one girl who sat next to me, the one who knew how to take the initiative, the one where the teacher moved me for the skit project because she's as bad at Chinese as I am, heh, yeah I'm sitting next to her again. Which is nice. And in front of me is this one girl who hangs out with this one girl who used to partake in KDT but doesn't anymore.

        And KDT practice after school, that was alright. We just cleaned up the dance (for EXO's "Monster"), did formations, and, that's about it. Very, casual, and, help-y. Anyways, forgot to mention that I had my eyes closed for 2 hours straight last night and I could not fall asleep. I tried switching the track I was listening to, switch playlists, put on a commentary video, still nothing. I probably got about 3-4 hours of sleep in total, which is not good, heh.

        Not my fault though, I was feeling extremely drowsy, I could've just went to sleep right there, but I had to to keep myself awake to finish math work, then because of that, I was unfortunately able to stay awake while having my eyes closed and in bed, for 2-3 hours. Alrighty, that's it for today, see ya.

        Well it looks like I won't be getting any good sleep this weekend, at all, because I got fucked over by the amount of work I had to do.

        That and I was planning on making this an emotional post but fuck it, looks like it'll have to wait. What's even better is that there's KDT practice tomorrow. Yeah, they switched it last minute for the purpose of allowing each song group having a chance to use the dance room. I would've been fine with that, had it not be announced today, as in the last minute. So it looks like I won't be coming home 'till 5 tomorrow too.

        I just, just want some time to relax, but no, even with some easy classes (3 to be exact I guess) that have no homework whatsoever basically, I'm still up to my fucking neck with work. It doesn't, doesn't make any sense. See ya.

        So when's the next dance? I uh, I'm not sure what I'm expecting this time, but I am hoping it'll be higher than the last time.

        Also apparently Sadie's is the next dance, which is unfortunately on December 3rd. It's unfortunate because that's so fucking FAR AWAY. And it's not even Halloween yet, not even Thanksgiving break yet. I'm still not feeling spooky, at all. Channel Zero's pretty, pretty awkward and boring for its first episode.

        On the bright side, I managed to get two CSU apps done. Thank the lord for the "express" function, in which, the system literally just copies over the info you put into your first application onto any subsequent applications you plan to submit. So all the real work you gotta do is put in the major you're thinking about, aaand, you're done. Also no need to review for these because, if you messed up on your first, well, you're gonna mess up on your second, and third, and so on. But if you did the first correctly, then the rest will be, probably correct.

        Also applications are easier than the FASFA. At least for CSU applications, you don't have to dig up cryptic files (or as much) of dates you don't remember or dig up tax info from the past years. All you really need is uh, a current transcript of your grades. The rest is pretty self-explanatory. Also, common apps, where you do questions about yourself. Yeah, I just, no thanks, heh. The schools that you do common apps for, the special ones like institutes or whatever I guess, I don't think it'd be worth my time. Only because, it's, not what I'm interested in.

        Same goes for UC's. I was going to apply for a UC, but after thinking about it, I'm like "Do I really wanna spend $55 (or more), write an essay, as well as cough up some more info and writing, and cough up $12 to send an SAT score to them, just to get rejected?" Although it is one of the lower UC's, I still think it's a bit of a long shot.

        But anyways, I've come across a bit of stress after all this still. I got an email from a CSU I applied to that I need to fill out a supplemental application, because of the impacted major I put in my application. However, the form (of which I have to fucking mail) is only for transfer students (like from other colleges), or current CSU students of that CSU, and so you gotta complete some college courses and you can apply to get in to that major. So I'm like "Well fuck, did I do the application wrong." Because uh, the major I put, requires a form stating college classes I've taken, like official college classes, but I'm not in college, or transferring from one.

        So I can't fill out the application, not sure if that affects my eligibility to the college or not. What I'm worried is that if I get insta-denied because of this. If I still get accepted and I get put into "undeclared" major, that's fine with me. But uh, right now I'm thinking about doing applications for a couple more CSU's, just in case. Because if this one is an insta-deny, then, I only got two other colleges that I've got to lean on.

        And I don't wanna be in a spot where I get fucked in the ass and have no college to go to. But, to be honest I think I'll get accepted either ways. For this one, I'ma be putting my expectations high. For CSU's that is. I mean come on, I'm in the top 35% of my class right now, which ain't really anything to brag about but it is something. And if my cousin got into this one SFSU with no AP classes and with just a 1300 or so score on the SAT (1300 on the old one, out of 2400), then uh, I'm probably a shoe on.

        As for today, yeah it's been just applications on applications. My Discord buddies and I were planning on going to a karaoke place, but at fucking 9 PM, and uh, my mom doesn't really like me being out at 9:00 PM, because that means I'll be getting home at 12:00 AM. And it's night, and it's raining. And, I've already had an adventure last weekend. My rule is, just one adventure every two weeks. Otherwise, I'll be seen as if I'm partying every weekend and not taking time to study. Because for almost every day, I do take naps. Not today though, fortunately, as I probably got more than enough sleep last night, 'cause I didn't wake up 'till 12:00 PM today.

        My buddies and I ended up not going anywhere and just playing some League instead.
I also got some Chinese work done. Now I just need to finish up some math, start on the video commercial for Gov, maybe start a bit on the English epic story shit, aaand, in my free time, work on the dance choreo for Dance. Fortunately I do not have KDT practice Monday. Friday I do, but that's Friday. Also no time for some graphic designing, I really miss those days of using my nap time to work on design, of which I hope to put on a t-shirt or something, heh. That was probably like only a month ago, but still.

        It definitely feels a bit like last year. Not to that extreme, but, similar. Well alrighty, I am very tired, very sleepy, it's 1:16 AM, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Maker - Roh Ji Hoon, Cha Ga Wa - F.Cuz

        I think I finally found a way to find in some dance practice without having full-out sweating-sessions.

        And that's with practicing the upper-body portion of dances (as I'm sitting down), replaying portions of the dance videos, as I'm, doing work or whatever. I'd compare it to fidgeting and or using fidget toys while working. Except, instead of fidgeting, I'm fully moving my upper-body according to music and in sequence.

        But anyways, Dance was just another portion of steps in our choreography, pretty much it. Math was literally just work on work, some friendly banter. Break was break, Digital Art was Digital Art, English was, just passing around our vocab sentences we made and printed and just, practiced solving 'em. Lunch, I'd say it's the same as always. I've definitely said this before but, it's just me walking from English to the lockers, of halfway there, meet up with Ag, get lunch at the "satellite kitchen," head on over to our table, usually Jk and DrewN are already there, then Ek and Lw, then Jh, and then people like Lw's friend and KDT member(s) arrive and sit with us, in our unfortunately small table.

        Umm, wow I just realized that all my posts so far haven't been really descriptive, heh. Well I mean, more than half my classes, we do the same shit every day, so. There's not much to describe unless people wanna hear me talk about how I got stumped on this on question on the math homework, or, how I played around with the curves on this one shape for my pumpkin design in Digital Art. Moving on, Gov was just another work day, which was nice. My group and I moved outside to just fuck around, draw, watch some vines or whatever. And to be honest, this group's grown on me, a lot. They are exciting, they each have character, they take the initiative, and umm, just go with the flow.

        And it's not just me either, the girl sitting next to me says she wouldn't wanna change seats 'cause this group's the bomb, heh. Not what she exactly said, but you get what I mean. Finally, Chinese, probably the most cancerous class I have right now. At least in math, AP Calculus AB, shit's fair, everyone's on a similar playing field. In Chinese, that shit fluctuates so much. The test today, yeah I got a 39/100 on it, heh. I get the 1st page correct, but on the 2nd, it's, I'm just done for. There was a dude in the class, of whom's test I graded, where I saw that he got the vocabulary all wrong, but got the rest of the answers right, especially the part with the measurement words, some of which, I haven't even seen until today.

        He ended up with a 82/100, which was really really suspicious, considering how he got shit on for the vocab, but somehow ended up with correct answers for multiple choice questions involving those words in 'em. The teacher suspected shit, made him re-take it, he got a lower score, not really punished, but uh, yeah, just got a lower score in general. That's at least some justice for me, I mean it was obvious that he got answers from others around him, but what can you do, ya know.

        So, it's 1:59 AM right now, I finished a couple League games with my buddies about 30 minutes to an hour ago. And uh, made an account at CSUMentor, started filling a bit out for my application for my intended college. I put in my major, everything's dandy, aaand, get an error message. This one brought about, 200 pounds onto my shoulders. " Graphic Design (BFA) has been closed by University for Fall 2017." I'm like "Damn, is this really happening?" Unlucky. I checked out the list of majors that are closed, and, currently there's only 3. Yep, my intended major for this college I was intending to go to, just happened to be in those 3.

        And, I don't know. I'll figure something out, I searched up other shit and found that you can potentially transfer in to graphic design after completing design studies. I'ma just have to talk to my counselor about all this. I barely started putting my name and address and this is thrown in my face straight from the get-go, huh? Alright, kinda sucks that I gotta go through more shit to fix what should've been no problem, but what can you do. It's now 2:43 AM, I'm tired, see ya.

        I don't know what to do. I feel like I could be doing much more, but here I am, waiting, a lot. And sleeping.

        For Dance, we actually got started on the choreography for our dance recital. I thought we'd be be wearing our jazz shoes or even just regular shoes, but I'm guess that's not the case since we kept on our tap shoes, and uh, what we've learned so far requires tap-dancing moves. Not sure if we're gonna have to change shoes during the recital or whatever, but uh, it's most likely.

        And yeah, the choreo's pretty much what you'd expect. Stand here, move here, tap tap, move move, etc. It's to the song of "Route 66," that one song featured in the Cars soundtrack. Math, umm, basically what you'd expect. Break was what you'd expect, so was Digital Art, so was, well not really. English, we were told some stories, and then got into doing some more of those proposition presentations. The teacher told us this story of how he accidentally set off the school fire alarm one time (or mayber a couple days ago or whatever. In this century, at least).

        He was in the P.E weights room, coaching his the school wrestling team. He had his backpack on the wall of the fire alarm and when he picked it up, it got snagged on the fire alarm handle and pulled it outwards a bit. He tried to reset it really carefully, gently pushing it back in so that it'd be flush with the box. He pushed it in, moved his hand away, and the handle just fell down, triggering the alarm, heh. So I thought that was pretty bootleg story. I've said this before but, I really do like stories. Each person tells it differently, it's fun to visualize what they're saying. The teacher actualy encouraged us to come up with some more stories to tell, to drag on class time, heh, otherwise we'd start on the proposition presentations again today.

        And you might be saying, "Wow, what a bad teacher, he's not even teaching." I mean, you're always learning aspects about the English language every day, just from talking and shit. If I really wanted to "learn" learn more English and read more books, I'd have taken AP English. But like, this is just regular English, the 4th year of English here at school, of which is mandatory. So, there's not much you can do. And to be honest, I'd much rather have a teacher with character. Gives me something better to relate to, knowing they share some interests and beliefs with me.

        Anyways, heh, lunch was the same. Gov, we filmed scenes for our commercial. We actually got a lot of clips in, I still will have to do a lot of editing, but, it's gonna be like 2 minutes in total, so nothing major. I'm just hoping my PC can handle the multiple tracks and layers of edits I'll be doing in Sony Vegas for this. Chinese, we had Chromebooks for the day and, we played a whole bunch of Quizlet Live and Kahoot.It games. Winner of 3 games out of the 7 or so that we played gets a cupcake. As for work, not really any work. Test tomorrow though, but it's not like anybody necessarily studies for it anyhow.

        So yeah, I think this weekend's gonna be manageable, so long as I don't take my afternoon naps. Also for the past few days I've gotten about, 5 or 6 hours or sleep at most. This is at least better compared to last year. Well alright, it's 12:24 AM, I still got a long way to go. Can you believe it's already halfway through October already? Crazy. See ya.

        Even with no Chinese work finished (for now), I'm still getting rushed with work. It's 12:33 AM right now by the way.

        Dance was just another, whatever day. We research a famous tap dancer, wrote about 'em, etc. Best part was that we didn't have to change, which was nice. Math, same old, same old. Digital Art, same as yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. English, I asked the teacher for some clarification on the assignment, whether I have to base it on shit in this world or I could make it more fictional. He gave me some examples, umm, but was just really like "Yeah, go for it." And so with that, I came up with some nice ideas that I'll be implementing into my really long, story.

        Also a bunch of work for English that I had to work on. Not necessarily hard, just tedious (as always). This was uh, just typing up and printing out shit. Uhh, lunch was the regular kind of lunch. Gov, we got into our groups for the final project and just decided on the topic we're gonna do. Only me and this girl who sits on the other side of the table was here. And, when we saw the groups made out for us, we were surprised to find that the dude we volunteered to be in our group (since he wasn't here on the day we picked out groups, and we decided that we'd just stick it out as a group after sitting next to each other for 4+ weeks now) was not in the list.

        Instead it was this one girl whom I had in my Geography class and English class freshman year. She's into drawing and stuff, suggested a lot of LGBT topics, you know. The guy that we volunteered, the teacher didn't put him in any group and is going to let him decide which of the two ('cause another group picked him as well) groups he'd want to be in. Our topic, we decided on gay parenting. It's controversial, it's, it is what it is, just gay parenting. And it's fine, you know, but I was hoping for something that had a bit more comedic potential in it. If I can have fun with a topic, I'll have the motivation to add a bit for effort in it, 'cause I'm having fun with it. But yeah, gay parenting's a good topic, in general.

        Finally, Chinese was just nothing, just, in-class work, not too intense either. I go home, run into Wi-fi troubles again, cost me about 30 minutes or so (as I had to power cycle my router a bunch of times before hard-resetting it and finally getting it to function properly again). English work took a good hour, math work took a good 30 minutes. Miscellaneous stuff took about 30 minutes or so. I'm not sure how I'ma be able to study, write my epic poem for English, and fit in some dance practice for the weekend, all the while focusing on doing (and starting) some shitty-ass college applications.  Not sure how I'ma fit dance practice into this schedule that's formed for me in general.

        Anyways, it's 12:47 AM now. I, I don't know how I'm gonna plan all of this. And don't forget the Gov film commercial project shit too. Yeah I really don't, really don't know how I'ma fit all this. But I'll try, I'll try. Thankfully there's no KDT practice for me this Friday, and I ain't planning on going anywhere considering how late and "lit" it got Saturday night. Alrighty, see ya

Songs to Remember: Strange - MASC, The Eye - Infinite

        So this is when it starts piling up. I'm getting a shit-ton of bulk work from Chinese, math work is just tedious and takes forever, I got to film and edit a project for Gov, as well as write and type multiple documents up for English.

        Imagine if I had other AP's or 2 more classes that had homework each day. Would pretty seem like a repeat of last year wouldn't it? Luckily it ain't. So anyways, Dance, we had a substitute (the same dude who looked like he was in college. Apparently he's the son of one of the P.E teachers here) and just, fucked around for the whole period basically.

        Math, just the usual work, as usual. Break, just your usual break. Digital Art, just your usual, sit down, relax, and design. English, uhhh, the teacher announced some assignments, one which includes us having to write an epic poem (like Beowulf, a literal, epic poem, and of which is pretty vague in the instructions so I'ma have to ask for some clarification), as well as typing up vocab sentences, due Thursday.

        Lunch, that was the usual, nothing out of the ordinary there. Gov, umm, it was just a lecture on how the news broadcasts its news to the public, biases, etc. Interesting actually, especially 'cause he mentioned the fucking, Anthony Weiner scandal, heh. And finally Chinese, fucking me over since sophomore year. We had to rush to finish our document, then record a group video to turn in, of which the first take was on the wrong account, so we did have to re-do it.

        Unfortunately, I have yet to start on my college applications. I'm hoping to finish a majority of work before the weekend, or at least, enough so that I can leave Saturday for a day of just, applications, and, Sunday to finish up work I have yet to finish (but no major shit). And of course, my graphic design and clothing brand has been put on a halt for a while now. With this work and shit, not much time for that sadly. For now. After applications, I can probably breathe for a bit. Just a bit.

        Alrighty, it's 12:20 AM, work's finished, gonna watch the 1st episode of Channel Zero, and that'll be all for tonight. See ya.

Monday, October 10, 2016 "Hide & Sleep."

Songs to Remember: Gorilla - Pentagon, The Eye - Infinite

        There are times when I end up staying up so late (for stupid reasons) that I just let go, just agree to stay up since I'll be getting some half-assed sleep anyways.

        'Cause think of it this way: I go to sleep, I get, say, 4 hours of sleep. I wake up feeling shit, knowing I barely got any sleep. Or, I could just stay awake as long as I can, still feeling like my waken self. It's like, when you've woken up after sleeping, you feel like wanting to go back to sleep. Same with staying awake I suppose. You're awake, so you're most likely to want to stay awake.

        Dance was just writing, literally just writing. We changed, even though we weren't gonna be doing shit today, but whatever. We wrote a one-page paper on our thoughts of Friday's rally. All there was to it. Math, just work, and, work. Test on the 17th though. Break, nothing unusual. Digital Art, we had a substitute who looked like he was in college. Umm, just work as usual. English, the teacher talked about his opinions on some propositions, listened to some, and, that was it. Lunch, that was the usual. You know, walk to meet up with Ag, stand in line, get lunch, get to the table.

        There was some chaos going on. There were two students, I'm guessing freshmen. They were sitting at our table, eating lunch, not really talking, just, there. I don't think they get the etiquette that it's, our table, ya know. And nobody's like, rude enough to tell them to go the fuck away, right. There was a shit-ton of people who sit at our small table, including, but not limited to: me, Ag, DrewN, Jk, Lw, Ek, Jh, a KDT member, and her friend. So yeah, not much room for all of us. Also there were fucking wasps flying around at our table too, but that still didn't discourage these fuckers from leaving.

        After about 10 minutes, they finished their lunch and left. Not sure what was going through their minds to make them think "Hey, let's sit here." And apparently Ek was at the table first, and then these two came over and sat down. Now I have no problem sharing a table, but, considering it's small as fuck, and we already have a shit-ton of people planning to sit here every day, ya know, nothing much you can do. Also having nowhere else to sit is not an excuse, there's a shit-ton of other areas, with shade, that they could've sat at.

        Feels fucking bad man. Anyways, Gov was a very interesting period. It was a work day, for us to work on our commercial, due Monday. And, our group didn't exactly get much work done. There was, however, a lot of story exchange. I learned a lot about the people who sat at my table and how their lives are pretty, interesting. Err, extremely different from mine's. It was very enlightening, how I got an insight to how these people are able to function as well as they are considering the circumstances of their families or, just, how life's going for 'em, compared to mine's. Like, my parents are still together. Maybe not for long after I graduate but, they're still together, unlike one of my table-mates who've had a step-father and like, a shaky relationship with their mother.

       And that's just the tip of it all, there was so much to learn from all of them, there's no other way to describe it. So I'd take that all with a bit of thought that, maybe I shouldn't take some of the shit I have for granted. I mean I probably still will, but in the moment, it does make me think, which is good. Finally, Chinese was a one-on-one discussion of work with Zl, as the other two members of our group weren't here for, basically the whole period. We had to draw a map, make questions, video-record it all tomorrow.

        After school was practice for ASTRO's "Hide & Seek." Umm, pretty much done with the dance, just a few seconds of dance to add and that'll be it for the moves. And yeah I was right, the moves were easy, just, sharpness and timing was all that was left. For this dance there were 4 different groups doing different moves at different parts of the song, so Jb and Bp taught separate. The former KDT president showed up to watch today. And umm, yeah, not as bad as I'd have thought it would've gone. At the end of practice, it was like 10 minutes before 5:00 PM and so, KDT just does what it usually does: play songs for people to dance and join into if they know it (or at least a partial bit).

        And yeah, they did play Infinite's "The Eye," of which I did showcase a bit of my knowledge of the dance. That made me realize "Damn, I'm pretty pretty into it." I think I've performed in front of others so many times before that it doesn't matter if I mess up or shit, 'cause nobody really gives a shit, heh. So that was fun. Now if only they knew the group MASC, then I'd definitely give it my all. It's 12:13 AM, gonna finish math work, and then, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Fanfare - SF9
        Forgot to mention this in yesterday's post but, bowling bowls are as heavy as you think. And you don't wanna be careless with them either, they could slip out of your hand like that.

        I've been wondering about the question "Why do I like dancing?" It's not really to express myself, really, since I don't come up with my own dances, rather, I copy 'em to the best of my ability. Is it because it's fun? Ehh, you can say that with a lot of things though. Is it because it pairs well with the hobby of graphic design? That it contrasts it by being more physical than mental work? No, it's a nice coincidence that it contrasts that, but no. Is it because I like the exercise? I mean it's exercise, not necessarily the best, but it's exercise.

        Still, no, it's not because it's exercise. I thought about it until I remembered how my Chinese teacher asked to dance in front of the class so she can demonstrate some bootleg ancient exercise technique or some shit. I was like "I'ma need some music to go with it, I can't dance without music" and she was like "I can provide you that." And then I realized "Oh yeah, it was because of the music." I like dancing because of the music that goes with it. I'd compare to like, a physical expression of the songs I like. And I guess you could call it "expressing myself through dance," but I don't think of it like that.

        Anyways, today was a slow day. I got really tired and sleepy around my usual time of 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM (which is a lot of time now that I think about it). The rest of the day was nothing, before it was nothing, and, I'm just finishing up math and Chinese work before heading to bed. Some wounds and scars have been healing, which is good. And, I've started learning some more of the dance for MASC's "Strange" and Infinite's "The Eye." Tomorrow, uh, is unfortunately (because I do think I need a bit more rest) KDT dance practice for those who got through the auditions for ASTRO's "Hide & Seek."

        Of which, now after reviewing the part we're gonna be learning tomorrow, the only challenging parts are gonna be pacing and sharp movements, the actual dance moves are fairly simple, so I guess it'll be all good. Umm, so yeah, see ya.

Saturday, October 8, 2016 "Setting Things Low."

Saturday, October 8, 2016

Week: 9

Songs to Remember: Return of the Mack (C&J Mix) - Mark Morrison, Poison - Bell Div DeVoe, Summer Night (Remix) - GRAY (그레이), Reptilia - The Strokes

        I set my expectations really low for this one, knowing that, there wasn't much I could do. And that was true, there wasn't much to do actually.

        Well, the beginning of the day started off with nothing really, up until, 4:00 PM, 'cause that's when the cast and I went to this one place for lunch/dinner. It was a vegan-friendly place, so, most, if not all, of the dishes were vegan or vegetarian. Jk, Lw, DrewN, Ek, and Jh were all there, Ag was busy doing badminton stuff on her own. We spent about an hour there, then moved to this one milk tea place next door. Stayed there playing some bootleg mafia and card games before most of us departed to get ready for homecoming.

        And that was a real stressful situation for me when it really shouldn't have been. First of all, I thought I'd have my dress-shirt to wear, but looking in my closet, the closet near the doorway and even in my mom's closet, I couldn't find it. My mom probably gave it away so I had to wear one of my dad's dress-shirts, which were a bit too big for me but I masked that with my jacket that I got from Amazon, the one I used for my Persona cosplay.

        I then had trouble trying my tie, so I had to look up videos on how to do it. One video was too slow and the other was too fast. Luckily I did get it done, just in time to get to the place fashionably late (about, 5 minutes late or something, but it really didn't matter). I got there, there was a huge line of people, most of which I have never ever seen before at school. It really did remind me of prom, how there was just a big line of people in fancy clothing, who all have dates and shit and of whom I do not recognize or know. Jk met up with me in line, and so did DrewN and his date.

        After getting jacket-checked twice, going through the ID scanning and breathalyzer test shit, we were in. And no, there were no punchbowls, just cups with water in it, shot-sized paper cups by the way, with snacks being goldfish on napkins. Yep, sure-fire signs that "Yeah, feels like a dance, seems just right." And what's a dance without people grinding? The dancing was, pretty much just like prom. I kinda feel sorry for the teachers who have to supervise this shit 'cause godamn, it ain't pretty, heh.

        Me, Jk, DrewN, and his date were pretty much just floating around, from the dance floor to the bleachers, to the seats outside, to inside the small gym (which is where they had photos and the snowcones) outside of the large gym. I pretty much paid $20 for a snowcone, which, well, was one of the reasons why I even went to Homecoming in the first place. And it wasn't even a good snowcone either really. Not sure how snowcones were supposed to taste but this one was more liquid than ice, and the liquid was really, really sour. I was wondering why cherry-red flavoring was more preferred than the green-apple or blueberry shit, but after tasting the green, I could see why.

        So, I thought this whole time that the dance would end at 9:30 PM. It hit 9:30 PM, I was like "Huh, shouldn't it end by now." Jk then told me "What are you talking about, it ends at 10:30 PM." I'm like "What the fuck." 'Cause at this time, Ec, Dv, and Mc were heading to pick me up so we can go eat and then go bowling. It was spontaneous but still. They arrive at the parking at 9:30 PM when I told them that that was the time it'd be finished. Well, it was still 1 hour from finishing so that was pretty, poor timing. I had two choices, to either go with my buddies and just leave the dance, or, continue sitting and chatting it up with Jk for another hour.

        And, ya know, without a real "date," this shit ain't fun, and I'm not even kidding. Either bring a shit-ton of close friends, or a date. Because I have been to about 2 other dances so far, prom, and that one charity dance thing for Key club, and after this one, I can honestly say, THEY'VE ALL BEEN THE SAME. Except maybe the charity dance thing, that one was different. Maybe it was because of the people there that carried me through the whole thing and just, the "kind" of people there in general, but still.

        This dance just ended up kinda shitty, and so I decided to just go with my buddies, the Discord buddies. I try to head out, I'm like "Hey, can I leave?" and they're like "We can't let people leave early unless we talk to a parent. If you can wait 'till 10:00 PM, in 18 minutes, then you can leave by yourself." What, the fucking, shit, heh. Not sure what this shit solves but uh, okay. Doesn't, doesn't make much of a difference if I leave 18 minutes before or 18 minutes after 10:00 PM, but okay. And so, I told my buddies to wait, which they did. Aaand, I just chilled with Jk for the time being, of which he was playing Jenga with El and her buddies, fucking, yeah.

        10:00 PM finally hit, I got out there quick, my buddies were out in the parking lot waiting for me. We went straight to this bowling place nearby (like 10 minutes or so) and played a couple rounds, ate, just chilled in general. Felt pretty surreal since it was like a nice stress-relieving time. I mean, late at night (we left at midnight), bowling with your close buddies, never bowled before in your life, umm, making a couple of your first-ever strikes, and just, not really giving a shit about anything else.

        Again, it's not like I do this every day, or every weekend. Maybe like, once every few weekends that I stay out late like this. My parents don't seem to mind, probably considering that I'm old enough now to be a bit more responsible, uhh, and probably because I got A's and B's on my latest progress report, so they ain't worried much about me academically. And also my buddies drive me home so my parents don't have to, late at night.

        Homecoming, not really as crazy as people put it out to be. It's just, just any other dance really. And now that I think of it, what does make school dances so special? I think it's 'cause of how they're portrayed in so much media, that it's like, the most important shit for a High-schooler. It honestly isn't, there's better things to do on a Saturday night than watch people grind up on each other, like say, bowling with your close friends.

        So what now? Well, it's 1:06 AM, I'm in my underwear, my pants, tie, shirt and jacket are all over the floor. I'm typing this up before finishing Chinese work. I know, I know. "That's it? That's the ending to this special?" Uh, yeah, the whole point of this was to see what shit would happen, and the outcome was: nothing. Nothing happened, and that was exactly according to my expectations, so it ain't something to be indifferent about. Now if the next time I choose to do something like this, ya know, maybe, just maybe it'd go above my expectations. But that's probably asking for a bit too much am I right? Anyways, see ya.

Week: 9
Songs to Remember: Prism - SHINee

        This season started out with a large spike in fan discussion, then it went quite for a bit, and now it's a lot of fan discussion again.

        Starting off, Dance was some nice practice. Right now it's not too much work (if a class doesn't have homework, I'd pretty much categorize it as not too much work), it's nice a steady pace, next week we're gonna be learning our dance that we're gonna be doing for the end dance recital in May. This is only like the, class choreography, that we all have to do. Also it ain't much action or whatever, just a nice mellow 50 minutes, considering it's 1st period and everybody's tired as fuck, heh.

        Math, now this time I can say I was definitely, definitely carried. It wasn't that far into the lessons we've learned, so I was like "You know what, I think that it'll be easy after all." Nope. It was 3 questions, so if you miss 1, you're done. And uh, the questions were from the earlier chapters, the easier ones. But the questions themselves, weren't as easy. I mean, out of all the numbers and problems the teacher could've chose, she chose my least favorite ones: the letter "e," and limits.

        First question I got it no problem. The second was iffy at best, and the third, I, had no clue at all what to do for the third. Luckily my partner did know, so, she saved my ass definitely. And it wasn't just a total copy either, like, I did try to understand it all before writing it down. Also my partner used stuff from the first question from mine's, so it was a good settlement. And yes, I did get a 100%, thank the lord.

        Surprisingly there was break today (considering it's a rally schedule). Not so surprisingly, it wasn't that out of the ordinary. Digital Art, I got some more work done, English, we were scheduled to go to the 2nd rally, so we spent the period watching this bootleg-ass animated Beowulf movie. Animated as in like, the Shrek-kind of animated. Also it was like from 2007, the graphics were pretty good considering it was from 2007. But let me tell you, it is seriously one of the most bootleg adaptions I've ever seen. First of all, lots of sexual innuendo. Second, lots of naked-ness, especially from Beowulf. And lots, lots of blood, and gore. Definitely not for kids, and the teacher probably needed us to have a permission slip signed to watch this considering, this movie shows a lot more disturbing graphics than your usual R-rated movie in theaters, but whatever, no one's complaining.

        When it was time to go the rally, Lw proposed we just ditch the rally go hang out in this one teacher's room. I was gonna go do that, but then fortunately (and unfortunately) I remembered I had to actually watch the rally and pay attention to it for Dance class. When I walked in (one of the last 40 people or so to get in the gym), the seats were all full. Like, all full, not one inch of space was available, heh. So, I ended up sitting on the stairs between the seats, which yes, is a fire-hazard. I was sitting next to Vh, but, I didn't really feel it anymore.

        The rally itself was bootleg, as always. I realized during that time "Wow, I've sat through rallies on rallies for almost 4 years now." The thing is they don't really make a big enough impact for me to remember what exactly goes on. Except that one time I performed with KDT, that was something I could remember. So for this rally, they announced some awards for people, nominations from teachers for students who do some good shit, most of the nominations came from my Chinese teacher, because apparently no other teacher really nominated anybody. Umm, Homecoming court nominees were announced, nothing too important, there were some bootleg games, uhh, and yeah just your average boot-leg rally stuff.

        After was lunch, of which, nothing too too out of the ordinary discussions of memes and current events today. Also today was "blue and gold" day, of which, I didn't really wear blue and or gold. There was no spirit point counting either, so it didn't matter. Gov was a lot of planning. First, we sent anonymous critiques of the teacher's teaching for uh, I don't know, whatever. Then we planned out our groups for the final project for the class, which was to make a law, starting with an argumentative paper, and, other research shit. As for groups, he gave us the option of picking 4 other people, of which at least 1 will be with us. Or you can just gather 3 or 4 others and make your group right there.

        Surprisingly, I guess our group has bonded so well with shit for the past, few weeks or so, that uh, we agreed to do the final project as our table-group. And to be honest, everybody else had their groups already and whatever. But yeah, that really touched me, heh, I was like "Damn, so I'ma end Gov with these people. I'm actually fine with that." Finally, Chinese, where we do some hard-ass sentence-writing shit, and, our group (of course) gets selected to go up and interact with Google's "speech-to-text" (not text-to-speech) function, but with Chinese.

        After school was the super-clean, KDT "Monster" practice. There wasn't as many people as I though it would be, which is good. I tried to keep my focus on being a visual guide but, god damn, that dude that's (I'm guessing) is with Mt, is sitting right there. He was in the back for about 99.999% of the time. Didn't really do much, say much. Mt didn't actually interact with him all that much except for some times. I'm still unsure of who the hell he is, or what's his name.

        But for the practice, yeah it went pretty smoothly. Everybody pretty much got the dance down, which is good. Just a couple more weeks to strengthen the moves, then a couple more weeks to add exaggeration, expression, comfort, not bad. Then comes formations, transitions, etc, and, we're gucci. So, went pretty smoothly.

        Tomorrow, might eat dinner with the cast before going to Homecoming. Yes it will be a special, not a movie. Currently the only members going are Jk, DrewN, and me (to the dance, almost everybody, maybe not Ag, is going to the dinner, which is at a bootleg budget Olive Garden). I'm putting my thoughts on low, putting them on low. Also, snowcones, which is what I'll be looking forward to at the Homecoming dance. Well alright, that's about it for today. Tomorrow, just gonna relax and prep for something I hope I don't experience again. See ya.

Week: 9

Songs to Remember: Lonely - Kanto

        Again, I'm not expecting much from Homecoming, nothing at all. What I am expecting though is to get shit done this weekend, or at least some shit.

        Dance was just practicing moves again, all there was to it. Math, same thing, except instead of dancing, we just worked. Partner-quiz tomorrow though. Break, nothing much to say there, except that Jk and I got our tickets for Homecoming. Digital Art, I got some work done on my pumpkin, most likely will finish by Tuesday maybe. English, now that was a nice and relaxing discussion. The teacher talked a bit about prop uh, prop 58. That was the parole thing with prisons and whatever. I actually did my presentation today, umm, for the last 5 minutes of class. Fortunately, nobody will remember what I said 'cause mine wasn't all that special.

        Lunch, nothing much there. Gov, we had our assessment, and, that took up the whole period 'cause I was being very detailed in mine's. Oh yeah and today was "deck of cards" or "card deck" day, where you dress up as like a king, queen, jack, or a playing card. Or just, tape a playing card to yourself. And of course, I didn't really do anything for today, stuff's just too much work in my opinion. Maybe if the topic was less, detailed, then whatever, maybe I'd do it. But today I saw people with crowns, crowns made of playing cards, playing cards taped and draped across people, people with the card suits made of construction paper and taped to their shirts.

        To be honest I was like "Damn, all these playing cards gone to waste, when they could've been used for cardistry." I could've brought a deck of cards and called myself a cardist for the day, but uh, if I did that then people would probably just ask me for a card to put on themselves for the day. Anyways, Chinese was just a quiz, then Chromebook work. I did study during SSR, got all the cards memorized. However, the test contained some words that were only part of the words I studied. For example, the word "notebook," I studied the word, I know what it means, but on the quiz it only had the "note" part of it, and I don't know what that part by itself means.

        So I got a 12/20, but it doesn't matter since quizzes and test count for shit really. Uhhh, tomorrow's "blue and gold" day, in which you just wear the school colors, but I really do wanna wear my sweater that I designed, so I'll do that. Also KDT practice after school, first for those who got into EXO's "Monster" auditions. It'll be at the dance room too so that'll bring back some memories of practice from last year. By that I mean, we practice, take a break half-way, I'm hanging with my buddies there, discussion, see and do dances that people've learned, then get back into practice.

        Alrighty, it's 10:55 PM, not much work today really. Tomorrow, maybe more, maybe not. Okay, see ya. Oh and rally tomorrow, that's nice as well. Alright, see ya.

Songs to Remember: What You! (너 뭐야!) - VX (브이엑스)

        Remember to set your expectations really low, so that they are either met, or they're exceeded, which is like, a win/win situation right there.

        Dance was just practicing moves, you know the deal. Math, was just notes and work, you know the deal. By the way if I hadn't really explained it yet, group's doing pretty well. 3 of us are talking, so, that's good. And yes, it does include me, heh. We've gotten into the flow of things. No break today since it was a Wednesday, so that meant straight to Digital Art. Finally got started on the "pumpkin design" project. It's actually just digitally drawing out a pumpkin, with shading and all that. So yeah, finally something to work on. Also apparently it's the one project students struggle with the most, I'm guessing it's the shading part with the light source and stuff.

        After third period, I tried to isolate myself and Vh to have a one-on-one walk and talk convo. I just went straight into it (okay, not straight-straight, but straight enough). I asked "Hey, you going to Homecoming?" She's like "Nah, I got a competition on that day. I'm like "Competition for what?" "Color-guard (by the way, I just realized that in my past posts, I might have referred to "color-guard" as something else and not flag-spinning, so yeah, pretty silly of me, heh)." "Ah, I see." "Yeah, I do wanna go though, with friends ya know, but yeah. See ya."

        There you have it, an example of how the scriptwriters screw me over again, heh. She would've went to Homecoming, and maybe or probably not with me, but at least she'd be there. And who's idea was it to put a color-guard competition on the same day as Homecoming? Really? Anyways, English was, okay. It was just people doing their proposition presentations, which actually took a while 'cause there was some discussion after each. And yeah, I didn't go today, that's how slow they were. Most likely tomorrow is when I'll go. Maybe, either that or Friday for sure.

        Lunch was what you'd expect. Oh yeah, the senior sweaters finally arrived, like the school ones. People seemed pretty disappointed by 'em, either because they don't like the design, or, the color of the sweater is too light (in the picture it looked to be like a dark gray or almost black but in reality it's a light gray). Quality is fine though, you could barely feel the print on the sweater. Also it was from CustomInk, however I'm not sure why the sweaters each costed $35, or even $30 each without customization, considering there's probably over 100 orders of 'em. You'd expect a much lower price, or a discount and stuff.

        5th period, Gov, was just a work day to come up with ideas for our commercial. One of our group members was not here today, so, not much we could do there. Also today was "nautical" day, in which people dressed up as pirates or, sailors, or, the "nautica" brand. Or, a striped shirt and called yourself a sailor. Or just have an origami/folded paper hat to represent a sailor hat. Tomorrow is "deck of cards" day, so, people will most likely just tape a playing card to their chest and that'd be good enough for them, heh.

        Finally, Chinese, in which yeah, we did nothing, as usual. At home, I had to re-do my FASFA because the numbers for taxes and shit could've been inaccurate, and so my mom's having someone else do it (like, the numbers and stuff) to make sure it's correct. Umm, about 4 hours ago I took a chance, I risked it for the biscuit. It was less suspenseful than I made it out to be when I sent Vt a message on Snapchat saying "Hey." She replied back with the same thing, in which I proceeded to ask her if she was going to Homecoming.

        "Ummm not sure." And so, I asked. Aaand, waited about 10 minutes, got a response back. "Sorry, I ain't going to Homecoming this year." I'm like "Aight, it's all good fam." You see, if you put your expectations really low, then that small gap for something to exceed your expectations, if it does pass, then the outcome would be like, super great. Otherwise it's a "Eh, it's what I expected" which isn't bad, it is what it is, it's just fine, heh. Also Jk is hoping I'm going to Homecoming just so he has somebody to communicate there (a guaranteed communication). I'm probably gonna go either ways, with or without, ya know, just for the experience, but I ain't gonna hope for shit, aight. Gonna set it low, super low.

        Also just to note, I'm living in a time where clowns are popping up all over social media, there are memes galore, umm, Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton are running for president, and, the FASFA requires a bunch of shit that should not be done manually by hand. I'm talking 'bout, the whole thing actually. It's 12:58 AM, just finished a cup of coffee, I'm up this late and the only blame is Gov notes and Chinese work. Not tedious, but difficult. As or Gov notes, the exact opposite. Alrighty, see ya.

Tuesday, October 4, 2016 "Online Forms."

Tuesday, October 4, 2016
Week: 9
Songs to Remember: YOSM - Kanto

        So I've been issued a CalGrant form to fill out. It says that I need a California Dream Act ID, I try to sign up, it says I'm not eligible for it. I take a look at this list of financial aid forms and it says that the CalGrant requires the Dream Act ID.

        Doing a bit more research, it appears that it's only for those who are or were immigrants, not for U.S citizens, which I am (I was born here in the U.S). So that was a nice waste of time. I'm now doing the FASFA and that shit requires the date of my parents' marriage. Really? Does that really help in determining how much money I'ma get? Really?

        But anyways, Dance was just more practice and more steps. Math, that was just work-in-class-day. Also, apparently the partner quiz is on Friday, not tomorrow. Looks like I am losing it after all. Break was whatever, Digital Art was me just writing notes for my proposition speech, of which I didn't get to do today. We just read the rest of Beowulf in class, and then, that was it. It's nice that this class is pretty freelo, I mean, there are people with their heads down, sleeping, and the teacher's not minding that one bit while he's reading to us the book. It's nice that it's freelo, but, there's nobody to communicate with in the class. Like, at least give me people who somewhat know me. I know them, but they don't know me.

        Lunch was the usual again. Gov, that was just watching commercials and then giving us some time to start brainstorming commercial ideas, in which, we gotta make a political campaign commercial. Oh yeah, today was safari day for spirit week, in which people either wore camou, animal-pattern-print clothing, or bucket hats, or binocular, or animal onesies. Seriously, who comes up with this stuff, heh. And finally Chinese, in which we just did nothing for the whole period, and uh, 5 minutes before class ends, my teacher gets a call from the office, which was for me to get my stuff and to go there.

        My dad texted me earlier in the day saying I go to the office after school, talk or mention this one person, and fill out a form. The way he texted it, it was just hieroglyphics. It didn't matter though, not sure why he made it so urgent as if it were an emergency. I got there, my dad was waiting for me, he got the papers and a section for me to write my social security number and shit. I'm like "Really, that was it, you called me from class and texted me for this shit." I didn't even fill it out over there, we just took it home and my dad filled out that part.

        Apparently it was to certify to the social security administration that I was attending school, proof, that I was, or some shit like that. Really random, really random. And so, I'm uh, I got some ideas, that I will hopefully enact tomorrow. It's 10:47 PM, still gotta do Chinese work but that's fine. And yeah, make some plans, plans, plans, and, see ya.
