Songs to Remember: The Seventh Sense - NCT U, Do You Remember - Jay Sean

        It wasn't a very nervous day, more so tiring because I had to dance from the morning, to, when the cows came home.

        Literally. The dancing part I mean. 1st period, of course, we practiced our dance for the rally today. Math was just as you'd expect, break, we all had to report to the dance room so the teacher could do roll call. We made our way to the gym where we sat and went along with the whole rally run-through. I basically sat next to Kb and Cn for the whole time. I don't think I've ever used Cn's name, ever, but I probably have for somebody else.

        Cn, you know, the one where everybody would be like "dear based God" if you ever met her. But yeah, we had to sit through all the MCs' lines, all skits, games, videos, etc, until it was our time to perform. We basically had the dance down, umm, not sure if this would be how our original teacher would've had us do the dance, but, it turned out aight. During the 1st rally (for the first half of the school), wasn't really nervous since I've performed in a bunch of shit before, and even a rally before. 2nd time, I was more tired than I was nervous, or excited even.

        And coincidentally, my dance spot was right in front of where Atr was sitting, in the middle of the sophomore and Junior side. After all that (we essentially spent 3 hours sitting in the gym now that I think about it), it was lunch, I was hungry, uhhh, then it was Econ. I was expecting to wrap up my Econ binder (ya know, like for some teachers, they do binder checks, and so, I gotta do that for points), but I forgot that I did not have 3rd period today, nor 4th, nor, SSR. Luckily we didn't do shit in Econ, so, I was able to finish.

        And finally, Chinese, we didn't do shit, heh, except make origami hearts because Valentine's day. After school, it was KDT practice in the dance room for SHINee's "Lucifer." Yeah it was difficult, heh, umm, but once you get it down, there's a flow to it. Also, tutting.

        Tomorrow is practice/evaluations at the local library, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Then, 2:00 PM is when the cast and I go to that one mall that it all started in, and, do karaoke I guess, heh. I also was able to get a start on Atr's Valentine's day present. It's going along, okay I guess. But anyways, I got some dances to review, it's 11:52 PM, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Error - VIXX, Tina - MASC

        So nothing about the day was particularly special. However, last night was. As my cousin had stated, I took both my first W and my first L on acquiring Yeezy's.

        "But why?" you ask? Yeah I did get my reserved pair of Yeezy's on the app. However, that was the day where I also chose to root my phone, and well, in the midst of un-rooting it after finding out my Wi-Fi got blocked by it, I factory reset my phone, and uh, yeah, along with the app. "But it's saved on your account on the app, just log back in." Yeah, I thought that too, in fact, any logical, rational person would think that.

        However, that's not the case for this app. Deep within the FAQ, it says if you delete the app, or logout, your reservation, is closed. Can't just bring a screenshot, can't just say "I accidentally deleted it." Nope. So yeah, I missed out on $500. I'm still in disbelief like, "Did I really do that?" I've tried distracting myself from the thought of it, which is working, for the most part. I'm distracting myself from it by figuring out how I'ma be making a bootleg Valentine's Day gift for Atr.

        Have I ever done something like this? Nope, but there's a first time for everything. Now, uh, not really sure what to get for her, but I do know she likes BTS. Albums are pretty generic to be honest, anybody could get 'em. I'd rather get her something that's more difficult to find, or, not as easily obtainable. One of those things would be, I don't know, rare photo-cards or photo-cards with big pay-walls. And so, I think that'll do.

        It'll be a good test for my reconstructive Photoshop abilities as well, as well as rasterizing. Umm, so yeah, there's that. Tomorrow there's a rally and, I'ma be in it, so I'll be skipping 3rd and 4th period. Aaand, yeah, there'll also be KDT practice tomorrow, as well as evaluations on Saturday morning. And then Monday, there's a meeting during lunch as well as practice after school. Forgot to mention, Saturday will also contain like, a special with the cast. Either, Sing 2, or, another movie, or more restaurant eating.

        It's 12:39 AM right now, still need to do math work, spent the last couple hours researching photo-card size and high-quality pictures. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Tina - MASC, I WISH (간절히 바라면 이뤄질 거야) (Feat. Tiger JK) - I (Cha Yoon Ji) (아이)

        How does it feel to get lucky in both video-games and shoes? Feels pretty good, especially, with all the adventures you gotta go through for 'em.

        So Dance was pretty normal, just practicing our choreo for Friday. Math, that was, pretty tedious, not gonna lie, though when do I ever lie about math, it's, it's a painful truth. No break, uh, Digital Art was me grinding on Fire Emblem: Heroes (I'll get to that soon). And, English, we watched the beginning of "Excalibur," this, one really old movie about the legend of King Arthur.

        Lunch, that was pretty normal. Oh yeah and today's Ag's birthday, so happy birthday to her. 5th period, that's when things got spicy. Now the whole day I was pretty stressed out with the anxiety of coming home to find something I don't wanna find (luckily that did not happen). My cousin messaged our group chat, reminding us that the newer version of the Yeezy Boost 350 shoes are gonna be dropping soon. To claim 'em (reserve), you gotta press really fast on the Adidas app.

        I was in class, the teacher was talking about, supply and demand graphs, shit I basically already know and is common sense. At 1:00 PM, I tried my luck on the contest, and, I got it. I reserved myself shoes, which cost $220, that I will be able to sell for at least $700. Now I would keep 'em and wear 'em, but, they ain't my size, and size-swapping 'em actually costs money (I got reserved a size 7, but I'm a size 8.5-9). So, probably will sell them then, or keep 'em for a while.

        The only problem is, I gotta go pick 'em up at an Adidas store... in San Francisco. And guess what? The pick-up's this weekend, on Saturday. Doors open at 10:00 AM. So yeah, either I'ma be driven there, which, I don't think my dad will be too happy driving me to San Francisco and back in a day, or, I'll take my first-ever chances with public transportation... by myself. Ever watched "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York?" Yeah that'll be me, heh. Shit still ain't figured out but, if it comes down to that, I'ma have to rely a lot on my street skills.

        My cousin will be meeting me in SF though, guide me around so I don't end up horribly lost with $220 shoes on me. And uhhh, yeah, after Econ was Chinese, of which we didn't do shit. And, after school, I spent about 3 hours on my phone and PC, trying to root my phone for the sake of getting a good head-start on fucking Fire Emblem: Heroes. Unfortunately that did not end well, but my phone is fine (now), and uh, after one reroll on an android emulator (so two rerolls basically), I got myself a Takumi and a Lyn, as well Corrin and, 2 Cherche. Pretty fucking lucky day if I do say so myself.

        Like my older cousin said, today's my year. To be honest it does seem so, 2017's gone A LOT better than 2016, that's for sure, without a doubt. Probably jinxed myself by saying that but whatever. Anyways, I got shit to worry about, but that's next week. For now, it's just shoes, and a mobile game. And, progress. Yeah. It's 11:34 PM, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Tina - MASC, I WISH (간절히 바라면 이뤄질 거야) (Feat. Tiger JK) - I (Cha Yoon Ji) (아이)

        Imagine if I had to dance after doing all of this work (which ain't even a lot, it just takes time and is just tedious).

        It's 11:31 PM and I'm still working on math, and that's the only thing that I had to work on today (that's due like, anytime soon). "Bruh, it's just cross-sections." I know, but the fact that we gotta do all the work by hand is what's tedious. That's all I gotta say, give me a calculator and I won't be complaining. But having to do it by hand, it's just impractical.

        And so fuck the whole day, it's, essentially been the same for the past, who knows how long. If it weren't for these specials and outside plans, this would've became the most boring year I've had so far, no competition. But luckily, it ain't, for the most part. Anyways, see ya.

Monday, February 6, 2017 "Real Learning."

Week: 27

Songs to Remember: Tina - MASC, I Don't Wanna Do This Anymore - XXXTENTACION

        I'd love to go more in-depth in this post, especially because there's a lot of things I wanna talk about, but considering it's 11:52 PM and I value sleep and it's a Monday, I'll save that for another time.

        Dance was nothing special, just tedious practice. Math was the same, break was the same, Digital Art was work (and will be the same for tomorrow as well). English was the most interesting part of the day, only because I actually got to learn something for once.

        In the beginning as he was handing out reading packets, he seemed pretty pissed off, a bit grumpy, I don't blame him. We're, we're fucking boring, we fuck around, we're seniors. My teacher doesn't really wanna, teach this stuff. Arthurian shit, and, old English, and, etc (I know it ain't old English but you get what I mean) are pretty boring. He'd rather enjoy a class period of conversation, interaction, which is, pretty much what a classroom is for. Otherwise, we'd just be studying, at home. And so, before he started the lesson, he was like "So, anybody got anything they wanna ask me, anything to announce," etc, to see if shit gets started.

        And it did. It started with like, a couple stories about the Winter Ball from last year. Jh (not during this time but a few days ago) showed me a clip of last year's Winter Ball where they had a robot dancing with the students (like, a dude in a costume). My teacher told us a story about how he made everybody think he was the robot there (when he wasn't), and etc, etc. After that, he was like "Alright, anything else before we get started" and one student, whom he coaches for wrestling, asked him "What was your first job?" And so, he proceeded to tell us that he was a server at that one restaurant here in the city (which is pretty close to my house).

        He then asked "What was your worst job?" And from there, it got real. He was like "I don't know if ya'll want to let me, get real deep in it with you guys" but we let him, and so, he proceeded to tell us all about his, comebacks, comebacks from a life not worth living. Not about suicide, but, about alcohol and drugs. Yeah, it was surprising to hear that he was a meth addict and alcoholic. When he was first working as a server, he didn't really have much control, he was, trying to get server. He couldn't focus on work and so, he was let go. His brothers, they got sober, and so, that encouraged him to get his act together as well. He almost "relapsed," how he worded it, but he pulled through. And even after the death of his two brothers, both from them relapsing back into addiction, he was the one who pulled through all the way.

        He got his teaching credentials (or finished them rather) and started teaching and coaching. And now, here he is. And, to go from all that, especially with the death of his two closest family members, to here, where he's spreading knowledge, now that is respectable. It's not something that everybody can do, even for those who tried really hard. During that whole time, guess what? I did not blink once. And he was just talking, explaining. If it were him like, reading Arthurian tales, I'd be batting my eyes over and over again, trying to stay conscious. But throughout the whole period, I wasn't tired at all, I was more, in awe really.

        And that shows how boring things can be and how interesting things can be. Shit like this is what I call "real-er" education. Like, yeah sure, we, we know the legend of King Arthur. But, real life situations that we could end up in? Hearing the whole story first-hand from a person 5 feet away from us in the same room? That's real. And I will surely remember that a lot better than, fucking, Arthur and dragons, heh.

        So yeah, hopefully, we get another story-time period like that because I really do wanna learn more. Anyways, lunch was nothing special, I, I messaged Atr if she was attending practice after school and she was, so, I decided to go too. Uhh, Econ, just work, and Chinese, which was arts and crafts and presenting. After school, with KDT practice, that was an adventure. A lot of time was spent with Atr. She hasn't really pushed me away so I'm guessing it's going alright still.

        I ended up signing up for the dance which was 4Minute's "Hot Issue." The dance ain't as bad as I thought it was, just, a lot of hip movement. And uh, yeah, can't wait for Friday. Can't wait to order my clothes because I've been wearing the same, same things over and over again. And or just mixtures of black, because I have too much black. And so, it's 12:16 AM now, see ya. Oh and almost forgot- rain scene BOYS. Finally got to do a rain scene, you know with two people and an umbrella. Not what I pictured, but it was a rain scene nonetheless. And, with a doughnut and a picture. Alright yeah, now see ya.
