Songs to Remember: Don't Stop the Party - Pitbull

        It's only a matter of time now before things might go to shit. I'm talking, first day of school, and I'm gonna have to wake up pretty early to get 1st in line for counseling shit.

        Alright to make things short, I won't go into full detail today because to be honest, it was more stressful than exciting. So, I arrive to school at around 10:00 AM, got in line and met up with Jk there. Hmm, pretty good, pretty mellow. We're in line, we talk about random shit, we see people, Jk points out "Hey there's El!" And in my head I'm just like "Mhmmmm."

        Standing in line, I only have the data confirmation print-out and the locker-permission-print-out, no, emergency card shit. Well, apparently I can't register without it, but, unlike last year, instead of having to go home to print it, they had the computer lab open so that those, like me, who don't have it, can just print it out there instead of going all the way back home (would suck for those who do have to walk). And luckily the computer lab (this one in particular) is just around the corner of the building.

        Went in, printed it out (apparently the emergency card was this small tiny, same-colored button after you confirm shit on the data confirmation page, near the bottom. Holy fucking shit. Again, I blame the shitty UI), was supposed to pay 10 cents for prints but uh, I didn't actually have any cash on me so I just kinda walked out as the adviser was like, helping somebody else out. And if I did have cash on me, it would have been pretty impractical, trying to get change for a, $20 bill, heh.

        Lw said hi as she was walking to register, I got back in line, waited again (but not too long, the line wasn't actually long at all, much, much shorter than expected. Godamn, freshman year though, that was crazy). Some poeple printed out the other sheets, I guess just in case, but, I knew you didn't actually have to print those out 'cause there's a checkbox to the side of the document download for you to check and grant permission (like a digital signature) and shit.

        But anyways, I'm buying a yearbook online, and, don't think I'ma attend sports games because, why the fuck would I, umm, so I didn't get an ASB card. Went straight on through to get my picture ticket, and then got a locker-owner slip, and then got in line for pictures. Having already waited in line twice, went through all the trouble of printing out a student form at the computer lab, I just wasn't in the mood for a "perfect" picture.

        Maybe if I hadn't, I would've felt a bit better, but since I was pretty demoralized, I was just like "fuck it" and hoped it goes well. Ehhhhh, still could've been better. And yes, I do look angry in the picture, because I pretty much was kinda angry, heh. Oh well, the senior portraits is what matters really, and plus, I'll get my own senior quote. Don't know when we get to submit those but, it'll be something alright.

        Got my ID, left to go to the counseling office, in which, loads of people were sitting down, waiting for shit, registration problems, ton of stuff. I asked if I could see my counselor, whether I need to setup an appointment or not. The receptionist dude (who looked seriously overwhelmed by the amount of people he's gotta handle in the vicinity) told me yeah, I did have to, and, that'll have to be on the first day of school. Shiiiiiit. Well, that's basically why it's just a matter of time before things go to shit, because, if I do change my schedule (which I'm hoping to and will), it's gonna be jumbled up.

        If Anatomy's not in the 4th or 5th period slot, my whole schedule's gonna be off. Because, Korean class is only going to be during 4th and 5th period apparently, so, if not, then my counselor's gotta rearrange my schedule, make sure everything fits, I'm not in a class/period that's overloaded, and just, fuck. And like, digital art's gonna be even messier to switch around because that is only for a few select periods (learning that from freshman year's Intro to Digital graphic shit).

        I'ma be showing up to class, the teacher's gonna be calling out names, I probably won't be called so then I'ma have the teacher confirm, look at my schedule, etc, etc, and that's not even, that's even including the seating shit, I gotta pick SEATS. Now that's, a whole 'nother story. I'm just hoping that, tomorrow, I don't have to go to this stupid CLOG meeting (seriously, why the day before school, when everyone should be taking their last breath of relaxtion) and that only like, the president and vice-president have to.

        Again, I blame the bad updates from the school. Nowhere, on the school site or any related site, says dates or times or whatever. I did find one thing on the site, listing that there's going to be a club meeting in August, but it didn't specify what date, or time, or WHERE. Fortunately (and well, maybe unfortunately), we got a source from another club president that it'll be from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM in this one room. I mean, I'm just the secretary, you know. This doesn't really, mmm, relate to me too much for me to spend 2 hours there. I mean, for fuck's sake, just like the last time there was a bootleg club meeting, all it really needed was Jb to be there, the club president, and that was it.

        And not gonna lie, was pretty cringe, and people used that to end the meeting shortly, thank based god. So, that's enough for today, besides the usual, I'ma have to finish up that math packet (only got 2 more problems to go), and, gotta formulate my game plan. My fate currently is held upon whether I get into this fucking stupid-ass Korean class or not. And if not, I got backup classes, but at no point am I gonna stick with Anatomy, because my boy Dv, he got like a D or, D+. Not good, not good, heh.

        And it's essentially AP Bio, 0.5, so, kill me. It's only a matter time, and yes, I will wake up as early as I have to to get over and say "Hey, I'd like to talk to my counselor about my schedule." Anyways, that's enough school stuff for today, seems like the series is premiering with some high tension already, and it's the stressful kind, heh. Alrighty, see ya.
