Week 32

Songs to Remember: Forever - HAIM (The Knocks remix)

        Where am I? What year is it? Oh it's you again. I'm talking to you, blog. I just finished my PowerPoint on Switzerland (it was a bit harder than I though), now I have to practice memorizing my lecture as much as possible. I have to do my presentation tomorrow and it's kinda getting down to the wire.

        My English teacher is going to have a few people recite their memorized lines from Romeo and Juliet tomorrow. He's going to do this by random, drawing names from pieces of paper in a box. I have about 3/4 of my lines memorized; it's the part where Romeo is talking about life before he drinks the poison (oops, spoiler alert, heh). These lines I'll probably remember for the rest of my life. Oh and that reminds me of this one article I read where this dude had these robbers give up by reciting lines from Pulp Fiction. Now that's cool.

        I have drawing class as my elective class right now. In this class we don't have any homework at all (the only exceptions are like, finding a picture on the web and print it out to use a reference picture or something). Next year, I think I'm going to have Chinese 1 as an elective (which means, a lot of cute girls to sit next to). That also means I have to learn to write in Chinese (and re-write down sentences like, 20 times on a sheet of paper). My friend is taking Chinese right now (and is part Chinese) so he could always help me out. Or, I could have one of the girls in that class to tutor me during lunchtime, which is also a win for me.

        I just realized I sounded like a total thirsty dude in the last paragraph. Now that I got that off, uhh, I was surprised my partner and I did good in table tennis today. We're at like, the 5th table out of 10, so we're going to be averaging on a B grade right here. I realized that the reason we got to that table was not because we did 360 turns trick-shots across the table (which we didn't), but because our opponents mess up. If we kept on rallying the ball (by rallying I mean hitting it back and forth), they're gonna mess up eventually, either hitting the ball too hard or not hard enough, netting us the point.

        After physical education, I sat at my friends and our usual hang-out spot. I was sitting there, eating my lunch and a few minutes after the lunch bell rang (people in 4th physical education always get released like, a few minutes before the bell. Don't ask me why) Ct came by and was like "Hi" and I was like "Oh hey". She caught me off guard, because I don't always expect stuff like that to happen (or at least too often anyways).

        In that one moment, I felt that my existence was known, just for that split-second when she said Hi to me. It just helps me know that some people care enough to say hello once in a while, or as I like to refer to it as "Hello, I am acknowledging your existence. You may now return to what you were doing."

        Talking about my day is weird, but that's all I really got to talk about right now. I'm still waiting for exciting things to happen. Still waiting. Still waiting. Still waiting. Stil- see you tomorrow.
