Songs to Remember: All In - Monsta X

        What gives me energy? Would coffee work? Because I need to write some letters for graduating seniors, as well as watch movies and write about them for Bio.

        Going from Schizophrenia to pregnancy, we're watching "Juno." I expected it to be, well, 2007-ish. And it was. The comedy's there, it's pretty good. One thing I didn't expect was the lingo. Like, I've seen the parody movie "Disaster Movie" which includes a parody of Juno, having her say some bootleg lingo. I thought that was just a thing in the movie, but apparently, that's true in the original movie.

        She says some crazy fucking lingo that I'm not even sure was prevalent in 2007. Anyways, for English the teacher's hitting us with his "Counter counter" trap card. Apparently we're doing a constructed response tomorrow, talking about whether Holden has teen angst or is just crazy. There's some problems in assigning us this, and it's not just me this time who finds problems with this either. First of all, we've only read 1/3 of the book, we didn't get the in-depths of everything yet. Secondly, this is more scientific rather than, English. Like, you gotta be taking AP Psychology to know differences between psycho-disorders and teen angst, and that still is a debatable.

        Third, the teacher said that there ain't gonna be anymore essays for the year. "Tomorrow you guys will be doing a 20-minute (most likely longer) constructed response discussing Holden's mentality." I'd argue that he said there wouldn't be anymore essays this year. He'd activate his "Counter counter" trap card and be like "It ain't an essay, it's a constructed response."

        And no, he won't curve it, there is no curving here. And don't even think about rewrites, because people are still working on their revised essay from last last week, and some still haven't finished yet, and, there's only 2 real weeks left of school. Next period was Bio, in which we finished watching "Something the Lord Made." Wait- no, fuck, we didn't finish it yet, almost though. It's pretty good so far, it inspires me to become a doctor. And I would do it, if it weren't for the obvious problems, including, but not limited to: my GPA, money, location, and motivation. Seriously, 4+ years of medical school. Crazy.

        In math, we got back our tests. I was hoping for that god-awful train wreck, but, luckily the teacher had mercy on me, heh. She gave me partial credit on shit, seeing as how I had 99% of the steps down but struggled towards the end of finding the answer. For some of the problems, of course. It was a 56/82 I think, which wasn't actually that bad. Very, very surprising. That's why I'll be sitting on a solid C, and that, I'll take it.

        Same old lunch, same old jeopardy play in History. It was guys vs. girls as usual, and uh, the girls won, as usual. I'd blame it on the girl to guy ratio which is like, 3:1, but I'd say most of it has to do with how my memory, when it comes to History, is that I need to recognize the answer, rather than recall it. Like, multiple choice, rather than fill-in-the-blank. That and I hesitate raising my hand sometimes, heh. That and how some of the girls are better in History terms than us guys too.

        Finally, it was Chinese where a funny coincidence happened. We were all given articles, in pairs. They were Chinese articles and we had to practice using the Google translate camera translate function on our phones. The article my partner and I had had a picture of what appeared to be 2 Korean dudes. I jokingly said "Hey, I know this guy." Taking a closer look, literally, I thought "Hmm, the dude looks a lot like Kwang Soo from Running Man, but it's probably not him." I took an even closer look at the text and there it was the words 'Running Man" in quotes in the article.

        "Holy shit, I actually know this guy, it's Kwang Soo from Running Man!" Now that was fucking funny as hell. What are the odds that the article my partner and I get be of something I know? We translated the article and apparently it's entertainment news, talking about how the Running Man members of the Korean show appeared as guests in a special with the Chinese Running Man members. I completely forgot that they had a Chinese cast version made of the show, appearing in China.

        So yeah, that was pretty unexpected. It was pretty hot today, highest was 85 degrees. I think it'll keep a steady pace of the heat from today on. Uhhh, so as for current events, we all know what's happening in terms of work. There's English stuff tomorrow, math work in the next couple days, oh fuck. That was me realizing I have to pick up a Calculus AB book from the book-room this week, or next week. Thank goodness this shit helped me remember, heh.

        But yeah, English, some math work, constant Chinese bulk work, and then whatever. As for KDT stuff, we're planning for the group social to be either at the cheesecake factory after finals day, or, at the park after finals day. With a large group, some are arguing that people will split into groups if we sit at tables and stuff and shopping, etc. At the park, we can plan activities and whatever to be more, social, and connect. I like the idea. So, that'll be on June 1st, I think. Maybe.

        Umm, it's 9:42 PM right now, which is making great time. I just need my teammates to finish up a bit of the bulk work for Chinese (I did about 80% of the portion tonight), upload it, then I'm good. In the meantime, Isaac. Alrighty, see ya.
