Songs to Remember: When the Moon's Reaching Stars - Persona 3 OST

        My teacher said "Are you people on something?". It made my day 'cause I think about it almost all the time. Seriously, what are people on nowadays?

        So these couple past days, we've been doing the same thing in English: do a quiz on the pages assigned to read, watch a holocaust YouTube video, and do whatever. Not that exciting, but not that boring, I like the class.

        In Biology, we did a quiz on plants. Very, very boring. It was also too easy, I got at least a B (for Biology). We spent the whole 50 minutes of the class just doing the test. Very good use of time. Just kidding.

        We did do something new in Drawing class though, we started practicing Sumi-e painting by painting bamboo stalks. Pretty cool, but also pretty challenging. The brush never brushes the way I want it to. All in all, Drawing class is something cool I guess.

        Instead of starting on Basketball practice today for physical education, we took a surprise test for our Softball unit, only it wasn't much of a surprise. She didn't announce the test beforehand, so we didn't get to study. Instead, she just went over some rules like "Okay, there's a runner on first base and the 1st baseman catches the ball, what happens?" and stuff like that.

        We took a good 30 minutes on it. After that, she passed out the test and I finished it in like 10 minutes. We did not need 30 minutes to study for the test. The questions were pretty obvious, for example, "What do you call a ball hit and rolls on the ground?" the only rational answer out of like 4 would be "grounder". Like, come on.

        Geometry class got me very pissed. Not because of the work, but because of the teacher. Our teacher wasn't here today, so we had a substitute. In my opinion, he was not a very good sub. He got on my nerves a lot.

        First of all, before 5th period "officially" starts, we have a silent sustained reading period, or "SSR" for short. It lasts like 20 minutes and acts as a sort of homeroom, since we don't have homeroom before 1st period.

        I was trying to read my book, but he kept on pacing back and forth. I sat right up to the front-right, so his noisy clothes kept on bugging the shyt outta me. My regular Geometry teacher usually reads, like we all have to do. This dude just wasted time and paced back and forth to piss me off.

        After SSR, he gave us the assignment and we started working on it, which was a worksheet. When the teacher gives us time to work on stuff in class, he usually lets us talk as much as we want, unless it's really loud or really inappropriate. This dude kept on saying "Sssh, do your work". We were all doing our work, while having conversations, it helps keep a pace. Every 5 seconds he would say it over and over again.

        6th period came and just did a short practice quiz on what we currently know on Eastern & South-Eastern Asia. One of the questions was what country and city this tower, called the Namsan tower, was located in. Hearing the name Namsan tower, I thought of it as a place that Running Man has visited (Running Man being a Korean Variety show).

        I answered with Seoul, South Korea (I pronounced it See-oul, what a dummy I was being), and I was correct. I was like "YES! Thank you Korean variety shows!" Another question was what was the name of this fruit, the fruit being rather spiky, tan, and smells really really bad. I knew it was Durian, and everyone else did too.

        After we all answered, he asked us if anyone in here actually liked the fruit and the taste of it. He told us how only 4 other students in his other classes said they liked it, and the teacher was like "Are you people on something?" while making a cigarette gesture. I was like "Did he just say that? He is now considered one of the coolest teachers I know"

        Oh and uh, you know how Em messaged me if I wanted to join her and her friends to go to the movies on Saturday? Well looks like she can't go. I asked her if her friends were still going 'cause I find one of her friends really sweet and cute and umm, yeah.

        Sooo uh, yeah that's what's going on right now. I'll see you tomorrow.
