        Productivity came. Err, just some interesting stuff that advanced things forwards, kept things not boring I guess.

        Psychology, I have to admit, I did not hate today's Fun Friday as much as others. We had to be in groups, of course, and uh, each group had 20 minutes to do a skit demonstrating a defense mechanism. For us, it was reaction formation, which is, you do the opposite of what you're actually feeling.

        One of the examples was that a gay person would act not gay and would openly criticize gays, even though he/she is secretly gay. So, we went with that. And yeah, I had to be the gay guy, heh. I don't have anything against it, it's just that I never though in my life I would have to portray a gay person. When we went up to present, my best lines would have to be "Oh man, I'm gay. I don't want people to find out I'm gay." Words constructed in a way that I'd never though I would say in my life, heh.

        It was good though. The teacher liked it, everyone laughed so it was pretty entertaining, I was smiling during the acting so it meant that I was cool with it. When I'm dancing in KDT, I don't smile. Not sure why, it's harder or something. But this time, it's one of the times I actually smiled when performing in front of others, and uh, very rarely do I do that.

        Anyways, English was just discussions about another short story we're reading, work is just writing a one to two-pager over the weekend. Yeah. Break was break, Biology was different, for once. We did an activity where we walked around, marked off on a "diet" schedule list by like, picking up sheets of paper and sponge and putting them into boxes and bowls, representing insulin and glycogen. It was worth it in the end 'cause we all got candy, heh.

        Math was math, we got our quizzes back and hey, 6/8, not bad, I'll take it. Lunch was lunch, US History was actually, productive. We spent basically the whole period discussing theories, who really killed JFK, evidence, reasons, etc. The teacher asked for a show of hands of who got really interested into this whole project, that they didn't do it solely for the grade, but because they were legitimately interested in it. I raised my hand.

        Yeah, I never thought that JFK's assassination was all that complicated. Thought that a dude shot him, got caught, jail, end of story. Nope, turns out it's way more complex. And uh, rather than being something impractical, the project gave us some practice on like, being a lawyer. So, that's kinda cool I guess, heh. But yeah, anyways, James Files won, CIA got 2nd place, my group (Oswald) got 3rd.

        Chinese. There was a test today, and yeah, I did use some hard-ass guessing skills, legitimately tried for 85% of it, and got a 72/100. I'll take it. Next week we're changing seats, hopefully the writers will be looking out for me. Well actually, I don't really care where I sit anymore in Chinese. None of my classes switch seats anymore, it's kinda like, ehhh, whatever, now. Nobody's complaining, nobody cares, hell, in Psychology there are no assigned seats. There weren't any, ever. People just chose a spot and sat in it, 'till now.

        After school was KDT practice, where our supervisor (which is a teacher) forgot she was supposed to supervise us today, so only 'till we reminded her did she get to the dance room. We were already around 30 minutes late, so, no runthroughs for the VSA show, but, there was practice for A6 benefit show run-throughs, "My Baby," and 4Minute's "Hate."

        All in all, I got my math work done during that time, heh. And uh, yeah. Tomorrow KDT's gonna perform at the huge A6 Key Club benefit show. I won't be there, but, there'll be pics. I'll also be working on Chinese work tomorrow, League, dance practice maybe, and then, oh yeah. Mc booked us a place at the Japanese Friendship Garden near us for 5-8 people. We currently have 5 of us: me, Mc, Ec, Dv, and Ek. There's 4 more spots for flex picks in case anyone else decides to join us.

        Alright, that's about it. I'll see you tomorrow. See ya.
