        If there was ever a time I wanted the school to inform me on scheduling and counseling shit, it would've been like, about a week ago.

        Apparently yesterday was the day for when you wanted to change your schedule and shit, for Juniors at least. Now on the school website, there's nothing there that states that (that there was a "specific" date, it just says that the "registrar" office is open during some weekdays). I'm guessing that word just gets passed around on this shit. I remember that I did go to a "scheduling" day last year to attempt to do a schedule change, but, I think at that time there was actual mail that I received from the school stating the specific dates.

        I did not receive such mail. All I received was my senior portraits scheduling time, a letter that says I owed a fine, how to register online (of which I already have an account), and, that's it, nothing else. I'm hoping I can just call in on Monday, during work hours (8:00 AM to 3:00 PM) and just talk to my counselor over the phone about my schedule, only because I really don't wanna have to drive over there (yes, drive) to talk for 5 minutes, only to drive back home.

        I've been thinking about why I chose Anatomy for one of my classes next year (it was for the chickies. Not slang for girls, but, actual, baby chicks). I then thought logically about how I ended up with a D+ in AP Bio, hated it, and uh, what made me think Anatomy was a good idea since, I was gonna major in Graphic Designs and shit anyways. Well, that was because I made that decision (of choosing Anatomy) during the beginning of 2nd semester, where they give you like, 1 day to think about it, and uh, that's it, all from the beginning of 2nd semester, in which, I thought I would be able to pass AP Bio.

        So, Anatomy's gonna be pretty useless to me, or rather just boring. In fact, just today, I was curious on my graphic design abilities and looked up some student competitions, based on graphic design shit. I found that Kik was having a contest for designing a new sticker, and the winners would be receiving some nice cash prizes ($250+). Decided to enter, took me about an hour's work of work, I'd say it was a nice experience.

        And in order for me to do that, I had motivation. One, it was the money, heh. But two, it was because I generally enjoy graphic design and all that photoshop shit so, even if I don't win, it gives me something to learn about my, uh, practice, my graphic design skills. And with all that, and 2 days of me thinking about this, I've decided that I want to do Korean class instead of Anatomy. Only a few problems stand in all this.

        First, counseling shit. Maybe I gotta wait 'till the 1st day of school to reschedule and holy fuck, no, do I want to do that. Hoards, hoards of people will be ambushing the counseling center, you have no idea. Take from, eh, last 3 years I've seen it. I pretty much gotta go early, like, really early, and even then I might not get a chance to. Secondly, Korean class is only during 4th period from what I recall another KDT member stating (one who is going to be taking Korean class), so, scheduling conflicts might be an issue. But umm, that's about it really. And, if all else fails, I can just go talk to my counselor directly during senior registration day, which is Tuesday.

        Now the reason for Korean class, I was skeptical about it at first because with it, I'll have some trouble trying to remember my Chinese and Korean (and for the most part, I've already got like, 40% of Chinese knowledge that've slipped my mind over the course of the summer). But, learning that it's mostly going to be focused on culture (sourced from other KDT members aaand, probably in the course catalog if I recall correctly), so, not much actual "learning." More of, experiencing. And most importantly, I'll have both fun, and motivation to actually pay attention in class, heh.

        I've watched over 250 episodes of Running Man (over the years), listened (and still listen to) to over like, maybe 1000 K-Pop songs more than once each (I have over 1500 songs currently in my iTunes library, majority of it is K-Pop). I know for sure, K-Pop and like, Korean television shows will be discussed in class, hey, something relevant that I can relate to, ends up not being boring. And to be honest, it'll probably be like a one big giant Koreaboo fanclub, I can just visualize it right now (and have visualized for the past, 2 days).

        But enough talk about scheduling shit, today I woke up at about 9:30 AM. Got to the library at 10:00 AM something, my mom made me drive there. Umm, spent 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM just hanging out and "teaching" and assisting in teaching "Monster" to about, 10 other KDT members or so. It was pretty relaxing and, not very stressful considering I had already learned the dance so, nothing to fear, heh. It wasn't what I was expecting or hoped it would be, I mean considering it's just a small, 2-hour (less than 2 hours really) dance workshop, summer dance workshop, not everybody is there, the seniors are gone (for now), and, it's early in the morning, on top of the 4th of floor of the parking lot of the local library.

        Today was just that, plus the graphic design contest thing, and contemplation, and watching like, (for reference purposes only, otherwise I wouldn't be stating minute stuff like this) Vash's "Batman: The Telltale Series" playthrough, the 6th episode of Battlebots, and the 5th episode of Qualidea Code. As of now it's 10:20 PM, 5+ days 'till the new series. I think I'll be in shock once the new series premiers, like I'll wake up, at 6:30 AM, just trying to be hyped up in order to stay awake, knowing that "So summers over, you got another 9 and a half months to go, and you don't know what's gonna happen next." It's a lot to take in so early in the morning. Anyways, besides some unnecessary Snapchat tease drama, nothing much else. See ya.
