Week: 5
Songs to Remember: Mansae - Seventeen

        Alright, alright. I don't know how this is all working out, but I have to say, this season is really bringing up the ratings. A lot. They'll go even higher tomorrow during the season finale. Weekends are kinda iffy, I don't consider them finales unless shit happens that I'll reconsider some of 'em as the true season finales.

        On a side note, it's 12:45 AM right now. I'm probably going to go sleep immediately after this. I spent the past 4 hours working non-stop on preparing for the essay tomorrow for English. Not only is it the first one for the year, but essays count for 75% of our grade. And what's worse, is that it's called an "essay". Scary word. I prefer the term "composition" like my freshman year teacher does. Anyways, wrote walls of texts, bullets points, page numbers, and quotes about this mother/daughter relationship from the Joy Luck Club, literally, everything I would need. Thank goodness we get a heads up on what the essay'll probably be about. The Hero's Journey, see if the mother/daughter fit into it. Waverly, Lindo, and Joseph Campbell are gonna be stuck in my head for a while.

        And now, the day. First off, holy fuck. It was like a constant 85-95 degrees the entire day. I thought it would subside once I got home, but nope. I looked at the time, 6:30 PM, I looked at the temperature, it was still 88 degrees Fahrenheit. Dear lord, California 2015 everybody. And so, Psychology, watched and took notes in this video about Clive Wearing, this dude who has really, really bad amnesia. Pretty interesting case. And uh, I got a bit sleepy at sometimes, buy that's with most of my lecture classes.

        English, of how it has become such a central focus now. I was walking over to English, when along the way, bam, I see Lt going the same way as I am. I was like "Hey" and she was like "HOH SHIT". She didnt really say that, but it looked like she kinda felt that way, heh. I guess I surprised her because she jumped a it. Maybe she wasn't expecting me at the time, and hey, neither did I. I was like "Heh, sorry, heh. Did you write any quotes on the planning sheet?". And uhh, just that really small small talk, because as we were walking the classroom was like, there.

        In class, we finished the rest of the presentations (there were only 2 left), then we talked a bit about the essay tomorrow and whatnot. Then he had a little poster exhibit thing. Posters were layed out across all the desks, we got up and walked around, looking at the artwork and quotes, seeing if there were any that looked useful and we would write down those quotes. And umm, yeah. After that, he had a some old essays on the Joy Luck Club, basically the same topic and book we're doing, and let us read 'em. We only got about 5 minutes to see them, they were A+ essays so to us, they were like the bible to a Christian, heh. They were actually shorter than I thought.

        Soon the bell rang, Lt had all her stuff packed, but she didn't head out just yet. Only did I finish packing up (about like, 10 seconds after the bell) did she exited. I headed left and of course, knowing that was her route, she went left as well. I was walking, she tapped me on the shoulder, appeared to my left, and I was like "Hey". Definitely reminded me of Yn, the whole, convo walking thing. We didn't really have much to relate, to, talk about, besides English class, but we've been over that. She was like "I heard it was going to be like 100 degrees the whole day". I was like "Yeah, it's gonna be pretty hot for the rest of the week. You ready for the essay?" and then, blah, blah, etc. I transitioned to asking her what classes she had, mentioning regular Calculus, I was like "Holy" and she was like "You should take Calc BC" and I was like "Yo, that ain't even numbers anymore, it's all just letters at that point, heh".

        We actually walked past the place where I'm guessing she hangs out. Or, the place where she meets up with her friends. Or something. After turning the corner, she was like "Bye" and I was like "Bye". And that point, I was like "Damn". In a good way. About the whole situation. It's weird, I feel really confident after shit like that. I felt like "Hot damn, gimme that essay planner, I'll do it right now". It's really weird.

        3rd period. We basically got a lecture, took notes, went over the quiz from yesterday, talks about the lab, etc. Not much work assigned thank the lord. The teacher doesn't collect half the stuff we do, it's like, yeah. If it weren't for me being done with Biology work, already done with math work (I thought it'd be due today), US History work, basically every class right now (until the weekend hits. Gotta study up hard there), I probably wouldn't be able to get done with the essay prep stuff for English.

        Let's speed this up. Math, quiz, felt it was kinda easy. I messes up 3 times on the last graphing question, had to re-graph 3 times. Lunch, we went to the Chinese club meeting in the theater with the cast. Ehhh. Seems like a regular club. Ummm, 5th period, US History. Notes on events after Civil War. And finally, Chinese. I'm not satisfied with my group that I'm sitting with. Just, they don't talk, or, they just ignore. I'm just like "What, the, fuck". I actually would've preferred my first seat, believe it or not. But, I wanted to move, so, that's what I get. We just, used the Chromebooks to work on online stuff is all.

        So, upcoming events. Classes tomorrow, there's a senior picnic tomorrow so, the school's gonna be about 1/4 empty. Ec, Ek, Jp, and I are gonna go to the mall on Sunday. Haven't seen Ec in a while, so it's nice.  Also, KDT. 2 hour workshop tomorrow. I actually remember why I even wanted to join KDT in the first place: for the people, and for the exercise, heh. We'll see just how this all goes tomorrow. See ya.
