Week: 6
Songs to Remember:

        To do an essay, when we've had a week to construct it, even with an established base to work off of already. You'd think it be well written, and I hope so too, because it's due tomorrow night at 11, and I haven't even got the online doc setuo yet.

        Fortunately I'm not that tired tonight, even though it is 12:37 AM. Psychology was just notes, again. It literally is just the teacher showing us a PowerPoint with text and pictures, we write down the notes, she lectures as we're writing, and sometimes does bootleg hands-on activities to demonstrate what we're learning about. Pretty much it. English on the other hand, is much more uh, well, nerve-wracking. Very high expectations from the teacher, especially after he put the due date of our online revised essay to 11 PM tomorrow night, and that the hard copy's due Monday, as well as pushing the vocabulary quiz to Monday to allow us time to refine the last bit of our essays. In my case, basically write it all, heh.

        Now this whole week, I've been able to do walking convo's with Lt, and it's only 6th week of school. Gotta say, not bad. And with her 1st period relatively close to mine, I've also managed to get the convo's in from the walk to 2nd period as well. Oh and uh, for English we just talked a bit about the quotes for Bradstreet and Edwards and did a practice Socratic seminar. Inner circle fuckint sucks, putter circle gets a freebie basically. If only there were rounds and we switched every round between the inner and outter circle, because it's fucking stupid. About 4 people talked in total, out of like, 12 inner circle people. One dude commented "It seems as if there were the same 4 people talking". Well, duhhh, they were the only ones who spoke at all, with like a statement each.

        Sometimes I wonder, if I can let my mouth run off, without worrying about "Oh fuck, what if what I'm saying is wrong? What will other people think? What will the teacher think?". If only I could remove that worry in my head and just go ham on the topic in a discussion like this, just like if I were to speak all of what I'm writing right now, then I'd be a fucking god, heh. About 50% of my problems would be solved if I could do just that. I'm making progress though.

        Anyways, after English, I did a walk convo with Lt,  as usual so far, and uh, we talked about school, again. English class, our score on our presentations (84% fam), and uh, after getting to the point where Lt's like "I better get going, bye", I was like "See ya, bye". And then there was this dude. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Fucking Drew, the writers are putting this random guy in to mess with ya". And I know that, but it's still messing with me, heh. They walked like the same I way I was 'till I got to my old spot, in which they walked past and like, go to the counseling place or something. I'm just like "Yeah they better be going there... Grumble, grumble".

        I just need to change the topic to other shit, maybe insert some random shit into our school talk, and that'll stir things up. I don't know, I'll think of something. Anyways, as for Biology, there was a surprise FRQ today, for points. Everyone else was still writing, I had finished. I then looked back in my binder afterwards in my notes, and I'm like "Fuck, why was my explanation so vague". Fucking FRQ's man. *sigh* Next was math, in which, we just got class time to start on our work. Aaand then there was lunch. The cast and I went to the theater for Chinese club meeting. I actually thought that we had signed up for this volunteer thing on Saturday/Sunday (forgot). It was like, 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM or something. There goes 4 hours, heh.

        US History's got some comedic relief for the day. During SSR, everything was quiet. I, myself, was actually reading, and I got my mind full on focused into the story of this book "Pay It Forward", in which my classmate whom I knew for a while, I'll just call her Ky, who finished the book and was like "You should read it". And so I'm reading. I'm fully into this book, my mind was enveloped in the story, it was silent, people were reading or asleep, and then all of a sudden, "YEAAAHHH, WOOOO, HEEEEY!". Fucking, the teacher was firing this tiny little confetti gun at this one girl who was sleeping, heh. Scared the fuck outta everybody, and me. Anyways we just took notes.

        I finally got what I wanted in Chinese class so far: my group members to fucking interact with me. Now, I can't complain because I don't really start the interaction myself for the most part this whole time. To prove it, even my buddy, Ek, her mother was all like "Drew's pretty quiet isn't he?". That was what Ek messaged the group chat, and I was like "Really?". Second time I met her mother, and even she says I'm quiet. FUUUUUCK. Anyways, going back to Chinese, there was a fair bit of interaction with the girl next to me, and our group members behind us. It even went further when we were on a group chat, working on our group Chinese assignment online where we had to create questions on a document. And how long since we switched seats? 2 weeks? Ehhh, not bad.

        These days have been colder than normal. 60 degrees in the morning. So, what's the plan for tomorrow? Well, that essay's for sure. And KDT. And the ARK club meeting. And uh, the last bit of work before a fairly relaxing weekend. Even my buddies are worked out over the amount of this week. Probably one of the toughest weeks yet. YET. When finals comes around, all hell will break loose. So, see ya.
