Week: 8
Songs to Remember: You Only Live Once - The Strokes

        This entire week I've been confused on what day it is, like if it's the 4th, 6th, 5th, etc. Oh and uh, homecoming. How the f*** have I yet to talk that?

        OK so as I said yesterday, this'll be a big update. Good thing I didn't have much work today. I don't even call homework "homework" anymore, I just refer to anything tiring "work". Alright so, World History, we played a studying game, which was very similar to what my middle school history teacher did (oh I'm sorry, I mean "social studies". Like, can you just call it history?). The teacher split the classroom into two sides, and she would ask a question and 1 person from each side would go up to the board and write the correct answer. First person to get the correct answer gets candy and a point for their team.

        Yeah people didn't really care on the other side of the classroom. My side was pretty eager to answer those questions, possibly for the candy. One of those "delinquents", who was on the other side of classroom, kept on calling "Golf" for every single question. So if you ever need an answer to anything, it's golf. Oh and uh, test tomorrow for World History.

        So today we took a vocabulary test for lessons 3 and 4 from our vocabulary study books. Having studied last night and yawning indefinitely while doing so, I got a 34/39. Not bad, not bad, I'll take it. Oh and uh, online mini-project on Infogram due on Sunday night. Along with a journal containing quotes and meanings from Cyranno De Bergerac, due, whenever.

        My current grades right now are an A- in World History, A- English, B+ in Chemistry, B+ in P.E (they don't really give us a grade 'till after like 6 weeks, I'm probably a B+), solid C in Algebra 2/Trig, and an A++ (over 102%) in Chinese. Yeah, probably my weirdest fluxation of grades I've had so far. World History's going fine. English is going ehhh. Chemistry's going fine. P.El's going ehhh. Algebra 2 is going ehhh, errrhhh, uhhh, uggghhh. That's probably the best description of how I'm feeling in Algebra 2/Trig. And doing fine in Chinese. Trust me, I'm not an expert in Chinese, it's just that the teacher gives us a lot of points for stuff. I have no idea why I even have over a 100%. I don't even do extra credit.

        To continue off where I was, Chemistry was meh today. We did an short experiment, testing gases and volume and stuff. We put diluted sulfuric acid in a graduated cylinder, put a small layer of water on top, added a piece of magnesium at the top, covered the top, flipped it upside-down, dunked it in a water filled beaker, then recorded the reaction, which was just bubbles. Cool part was when the teacher lit the leftover hydrogen gas from each cylinder, made a popping sound similar to a "puppy bark". I actually recorded the thing too. I should take more pictures.

        So yeah, we did the experiment, worked on filling stuff out on our worksheet, then it was off to P.E. I was walking my usual route to P.E, I walked with Yue , but, I don't anymore, I kinda don't really feel like it anymore. So I just go instead of to the left when I exit the classroom (there's 2 doors), I exit through the right door. So now I occasionally walk with Yn out the door. Today she decided to walk with me 'till the entrance to the locker rooms instead of going her usual route. She seemed pretty interested in what I was talking about (consisting of test scores and how hard my Algebra 2/Trig class is).

        So to make this sorta quick, mostly 'cause I'm really tired and would love to go to sleep right now, P.E was tiring. I could not lift on this one arm lift machine and so the T.A (teacher assistant) was like "Come on kid, I'm gonna a push ya. Just take a deep breathe, keep your a back straight" and I'm just like "It's 'cause I've done other exercises, this machine's arm positioning is weird, and the metal bars on the arms add to the weight. 'Course I could lift 30 pounds". Yeah weight training ain't going that well.

        I had to finish Chinese homework during lunch these past two days 'cause I didn't finish them overnight 'cause I was too tired. And then there's Algebra 2/ Trig. The teacher said she discussed with the other major math teacher and she was like "I talked with Mr. Blank and he said I should have you guys review adding, subtracting, and simplifying fractions" and I was like"Oh thank you based Geometry teacher, thank you for having us do a not-too-difficult lesson". After we like, worked on some example problems, the teacher said she was gonna let us see our quiz scores from that polynomial quiz from like a week ago or something. I think it was Friday.

        I was like "F*** me, I'm gonna a see a f***ing F. If only I had a bit more time". And so multiple people got 100%'s on this quiz and the teacher said that a majority of us did very well and I'm like "Well, that's not me". I was handed my test, I looked at it, I went back to my desk, and was just like "Thank you based teacher" and shed a mental tear. A 42/45. Holy balls, that is baller. I thought I got an F 'cause I messed up on the last 2 questions. I thought there were less questions, but apparently they weren't. Oh m god I was so excited, I just wanted to tell everybody that I got an A on my quiz. Hooooollllyyy, man that was good.

        And Chinese class was next, and whenever I wave to El whenever I see her around or when she's walking up the steps to the door of the classroom, she waves back (we don't verbally say anything, it's just a f***ing hand wave) and she has the like "Men" face. Bootleg, I swear. Anyways, today we were making a por chart based on a survey we had to do (for homework), in which we had to ask people who weren't in Chinese class, there nationality and languages they speak. Since everyone's pretty much American, nationality would be from like, their ancestors.

        It was a group project and El did pretty much almost all of the work. She typed basically everything up, made the pie chart (graph, pie, whatever), all the while occasionally talking to this one dude, who sat next to El the past 3 weeks. I'll refer to the dude as Rc. So after those 3 weeks of him sitting next to her in that group, they pretty became like, friends. And if you look at the picture that the teacher took of their group, if you look at El, then look at Rc, then look at Rl again, you'd think "Oh, you guys look adorable together". Like, that is seriously what my buddy Aa should have said to El and refer to Rc instead if me.

        In normal language, I think El's sorta into this dude. Why is that? I don't know, liking people is stupid because love is stupid and makes people think stupid and be stupid, and that's what it's making of me right now. They also have the same last name. Coincidence? I think not. Also I am hungry 'cause I am awake at 12:34 AM writing this. So, being the creepy dude as I am, I was like "Alright, as long as this dude's not a sophomore, I'm good". I check the yearbook and don't see him so I'm like "OK". Then I was like "Wait, why don't I look up his name on the school's email system (Loopmail) 'cause it shows what grade they're in?" So I type in his name and I'm just like "Alright. Okay the music". *Insert "Untitled" by Simple Plan*

        F***, he would be a sophomore. How could this happen to me? I made my mistakes. Got nowhere to run, the night goes on as I'm fading away. Soooo, this is awkward. Uhhh, El did this one tagged challenge on Facenovel which has been going around in my social circle for a bit. It's the "100 Truths" or "100 Questions" thing where you answer 100 questions about yourself (which consists of a lot of stuff that people apparently want to know) and tag 5 other people and they have to do it too. I'm pretty sure you can search it up online to find more info about it.

        So when El answered and posted one, I just scrolled down to the question where it asks if they have a crush or not and you know what she put? She put "I don't know. Do you?" And I'm just like "You cheeky continent, you". Luckily there was another question which asked "Have you fallen for a friend?" and not the physically act of falling either. She answered "WTH? Why would I answer this for all all to see?" So I'm just like "Fffffffff she just confirmed it. It's me or Rc. Or that one other dude. Or that other dude who's taller than me. Possible that one other dude. She has a lot of guy-friends now that I think about it.

        She also answered this one question asking "Wanting to get married?" And she replied with "If a miracle happens and I get a guy". And in just like, I'm just, just-. So I'm just like "Seriously? What guy wouldn't want to date you? They'd be a really lucky dude", 'course, inb4 it's Rc. She also answered the question of "Last text you sent?" with "YOU'RE A WEIRDO" and replying to Rc in the comments about that text. You know the bond's strong if she calls a dude a weirdo in a playful manner. She never calls me a weirdo. Well, that might change if she were to see all this. You gt what I mean.

        Anyways, I'm gonna a have to step it up and start talking about s- oh my god I'm hungry. I'm gonna have to step it up and talk about stuff other than school, 'cause talking about school all the time is safe, but BOOOORRRINNNGG. It's seriously all I ever talk about with El as we're walking our route. Soooo, I'll continue talking about homecoming tomorrow, uhhh, it's 1:03 AM and I've been typing for about an hour and a half straight. I'll end my creepiness and insecurity here for today. See you tomorrow. Also, I was gonna a invite El to the movie at our school tonight, buuut she said she doesn't got the time and that she lives in another city and it'd be far and late. And yeah. See you tomorrow.
