Week: 23
Songs to Remember: Danza Kuduro - Don Omar

        I'm proud. I am proud, for not only taking the initiative multiple times with no hesitation, but getting so much shit or intel done within a set amount of time.

        Our choreography unit for Dance started off with a bootleg worksheet activity. We choose 5 letters of our name, assign a body part to each (leg, arm, etc), and then create a move for each corresponding part. We memorize that, then on Day 2 (or like, tomorrow), we take those same moves, but add a twist to them, such as, make one move closer to the ground, the  next make it faster, etc, memorize all that, then combine the two sets.

        I'm guessing this is a starter activity for making choreo. Now if only I knew a method like this earlier, my choreo-making would've been a lot easier. A lot, easier. But anyways, math, kinda hate it, kinda, kinda not like it, heh. It's just the same shit, we got a quiz on Thursday, we got, there's a test on Friday of next week, which just so happens to be on the same day as Day show for Lunar Show. Which means, I gotta take it Monday and uh, or Thursday after school or some shit.

        Break, ya'll already know how it is, just your average break. Digital Art, took the time to do both my digital project shit and finish Econ work, which just so happened to be not due today. Apparently it's sometime later, so, oh well, at least I got that shit done. English, aight so I ended up with an 88%, a B+, for my final 1st semester grade, which sucks. My "binder" that he graded ended up being an 80/100 for some reason even though he said a majority got 100's. Umm, and with participation shit being part of the grade, I got fucked out of my freelo. I'm pretty sure I worked just as hard, if not harder than the others in my class, but what can you do, ya know.

        And I don't think that'll affect me considering where I'm headed, heh. Oh yeah English, yeah no quiz today, the teacher moved it tomorrow or sometime later I guess. I'm not even surprised anymore, just, disappointed. Lunch was the same old, same cold. Yes, cold, it's been cold lately which sucks 'cause, I already explained this shit before so I don't wanna explain myself again. Econ, oh boy, we, we had some arts and crafts. We were to draw either what land is, labor, capital, or entrepreneurship is, etc. I got stuck with entrepreneurship, which I was like "Ya'll fucking serious, this is not equal. For land you just gotta draw golf and fucking trees, how the fuck somebody gonna draw entrepreneurship." Luckily I came up with something, only to find out shit's not due 'till tomorrow even though it was said to be due the same period.

        Finally Chinese, where we read, and practiced drawing characters on our mini-whiteboards. Yep, good ol', good ol' 50 minutes of Chinese right there. Now for the best part, the kicker to season 23, it was KDT practice after school, we had the light section to work on today, meaning I only gotta practice one song. That also meant, Atr would practice in one song, 'cause well, we're both in ASTRO's "Hide and Seek." I took the initiative with a "Hey, hi," etc. I knew "Aight so I barely get any time for us to be at the same location for a guaranteed set period of time. Drew, you gotta start doing shit." Now she starts off with talking to her friend and shit, etc, while their other friend is practicing in her song she's in.

        Fortunately there's a song in which both her buddies are in but she's not, she's sitting by herself after her friends leave to go practice formations, I scoop in (scoop) right next to her like "Hey Atr." I took it. The initiative of course. I overhear a lot how her buddies and her talk either 'bout school and class shit 'cause they all sophomores, but I also overhear them talking 'bout dances, etc. K-Pop dances, not like the upcoming Winter Ball shit. I ask her "So, what dances have you been practicing?" "She's like "Hmm, I don't know," or some shit. I'm like "Well fuck, this is not according to the script, can somebody bring over a script for her please." An idea pops into my mind through the process of "Okay, dance, K-Pop, K-Pop dances, the recent voting for the KASA (Korean Student Association) show for throwback K-Pop songs, boom, that's it."

        I'm like "Hey, what did you vote for for the throwback songs for the KASA show coming up?" She's like "Oh I don't remember, I know I voted for like Beast, Infinite, etc." I talk about what I voted for, discussion on groups, etc, etc. I do my best form of communication I've done in a while, taking a few pointers from Jk and Korean society videos, aaand transitioned. I'm like "Blah blah blah, man someday I wanna visit like China, Japan, Korea, etc. Have you ever went to blah blah blah." Little did she know I know that she's been to Korea, so she's like "I've been to Korea, etc, etc." Discussion on her trip, I add a bit of my K-Town trip as if it were like a bit of seasoning, you know, gotta throw in your favorite bit of flavoring in there.

        Can't just have 'em talk all 'bout themselves. I uh, we then moved to exotic foods (specifically dealing with dragons, like Dragon's Breath of Dragon's Beard). From there, not sure but like, I transitioned to YouTube shit (which I know she likes) like Markiplier and Jacksepticeye (the things I do to make a good-ass series). Some more seasoning here and there with me showing her some BTS meme-y shit from Instagram that I find. It lightens things up, sets a set basis on where we are, etc. That right there, all that, was like a good 15 minutes or so, of on-going. A pause here and there, there was that silence which I hated, but I turned that around into some goooood shit.

        We then practiced "Hide and Seek" formations, uhhh, then it was back to me doing, whatever, and then finally some time together again. Towards the end, I could see the comfort-ability (not even a word, huh) in her between us, and for next time (aka Friday). Fortunately, there's another EXID's "Lie" practice on Friday (for the dark section and etc) in which her buddies will be in but she and I won't so, you get what I'm getting at? More chances for me to establish baselines, from blurred, to clear. Anyways, I got work to do tomorrow, it's 11:53 PM, I'm tired, hype is building, see ya.
