Week: 39
Songs to Remember: Get Me Golden - Terraplane Sun

        And just last week I was writing down "Week: 38", and it's already basically the end of season 39. And just right now, I spent about 10 minutes explaining to Yn about how to graph y=tanx. In a Facebook chat. I haven't actually received a message from her since, well, last week on Friday.

        So, World History, the same gosh darn thing that's been happening this whole week. Work on an essay using Chromebooks. Just today the teacher got sent a a bootleg vine called "Not cool? Not interested" by Harmony Smith (kinda cringy in my opinion) from her T.A and said "This is me", jokingly. She, showed it to the whole class, and I was like "*sigh*".

        English was not that much better. At least we got time to read in class. We're almost done with the book, thank goodness. I still haven't started on that f***ing journal yet, but uhh, I'll get to it, I'll get to it. Oh and uh, it's due on Tuesday. Today I saw the gorilla costume bag sitting near the teacher's desk and I was like "Uhh, yep. She's definitely gonna be a gorilla tomorrow".

        Chemistry is not that exciting either to be honest. Just, notes today. And uh, yeah, that was, pretty much it. I sure hope this is just bringing up the anticipation for the series finale. Just hoping. P.E, seriously, is just as un-exciting. I wouldn't say it was boring, I'm just saying, it was ehhh. We just practiced backstrokes today and uh, I got ranked as a 2. Out of 4 of course.

        Math, now this is where it gets interesting. Nope, just kidding, it's pretty much the usual. We got a test on Tuesday, so, that's wonderful. We got about 4 more lessons, 4 more until we're done. The rest of the days will be like, quiz days, a test day, and then review days. For the final exam, the teacher said there was going to be a free-response part, where we get to use our calculators. I was like "Oh no. DEAR GOD". A free-response, and using a caluclator. That's just bad written all over it. She was like "What do you think the calculator will be for?" and then this one dude was like "Scatterplots?" and she was like "Scatterplots". I was like "Oh, oh thank, now that I can handle".

        Chinese, Zi wasn't here today because of badminton stuff. So, Jc and I worked on the Blendspace by ourselves, with the Chromebooks. For the cover photo of it, I guess we decided to do a group picture, but since Zi wasn't here, Ic suggested that we take it with him in the middle, but photoshop Zi'sface onto him. Well,we did, and uhhh, that took up most ofthe period. But I guess it was "worth it", I mean, we got a bomping cover photo now.

        I've been kinda lazy and ignoring any practice really for this Cardistry thing. I think maybe, after I'm done with all the work s*** over the weekend, I'll try to at least learn a new flourish. Also, about an hour ago, I saw this post on my Facebook feed and it was a photo from a High school's "Humans of New York" page, but, you know, for their school. It featured this girl and a link to her blogpost, explaining how she isn't going to be graduating with her class this year. I was like "Wow". So I checked it out and I was like "Wow, now this girl went through A LOT".

        No mother for most of her life, partly disabled father, father working hours trying scrape enough to get by, taking care of 2 kids, abused asa child by her babysitter, an abusive (and pretty insane) ex-boyfriend, I can see why she academics is sort of a struggle. That's a lot for someone just 18 years into their life. Pretty interesting read though, I'll have the link to her post if you wanna read it for yourself (pictures included too).

        Anyways, hopefully I get some sleep tonight, I know I won't be sleeping soundly this weekend. Or next week, for that matter. I'll see you tomorrow.
