Week: 24

Songs to Remember: Reason (feat. 리차드파커스) (헤어져야 하는 이유) [SPACECOWBOY deep future remix] - SPACECOWBOY (스페이스카우보이)

        I feel like these specials (or episodes so far if you prefer) would've been much more special had we not get jipped of a day-show and practice dates. But on the bright side, makes everything a bit more exclusive.

        Dance, we just went over our hip-hop dance (for the upcoming winter rally in February). That was pretty much it, uhhh, tomorrow, we're gonna be seeing the Indian show day-show in the theater with a writing assignment. Kinda sucks 'cause uh, ya know, that could've us, KDT, could've been me there, heh, but no. Math, yep, all me. Pretty much just me for math, with the same old, same old. Monday, we got a quiz, a partner quiz, except the teacher grades our tests individually, so basically we can talk to our partner for help, which I hope I will not have to. And uh, test next week too.

        Break, usual break. Digital Art,  I got myself a head-start on Chinese work, which ended up going well. English, I worked with my group on our poster with gluing, cutting, organizing, etc. We're pretty much finished, just need a bit of finishing touches, and we gucci. I rushed out of 4th period at the bell 'cause I wanted to get lunch before going into the theater to get ready for my one performance, heh. Literally, it's just one "noon-show" for the week, and uh, I'm in one song for the noon-show.

        Ending up being a bit too nervous to feel hungry, but I did eat after, so that was good. The theater was pretty full, like, more than the amount of people who are going to go to the Lunar Show night-show. There were a lot of people standing in the back, the sides, etc. Us, KDT, were kneeling/sitting at the left of the stage, not on it, but beside the elevated floor going onto the stage floor. It was KASA performing first, doing some throwback songs like Trouble Maker and Infinite's "Back," both of which were done by KDT years before. They also uh, ended up doing like 2 songs that we were doing as well, which is alright I guess, but uh, not sure how they picked two of the same songs as would be doing (not at the noon-show but night-show).

        Anyways, it was Dawn, a K-Pop cover group (like KDT), comprised of, you guessed it, some KDT members. I'd think of it as a uh, KDT sub-group. They mostly just did girl songs so, not something I'd dance to, for me personally, but they were good nonetheless. Next it was Hip Hop club, doing original choreo (I think) to several songs. A lot of them were like, vaporwavy -ish, which was really nice. Some really good, unique pieces. Once they were finished on stage, it was our time to go on up. It wasn't as nerve-racking as like, day show, or night-show, even though it was the 1st performance at our school for the year, only because the lights weren't dimmed in my opinion. For me at least.

        And uh, yeah, we performed, with TWICE's "Cheer Up" first, then Red Velvet's "Ice Cream Cake," then Sistar's "I Like That," and finally EXO's "Monster." And yeah, it went well. I kinda stared this one dude down 'cause I didn't know what to look at, heh. It was good, it was good, and it was really cool to see people who've never performed on-stage before, in front of their peers (or a high-amount of their peers). Really cool perspective. We were the last act, and umm, yeah, lunch bell rang, people went to class, we went to class. Overall, not bad, not bad at all.

        In Econ, there was no class, just us going to the cafeteria to listen to advertising on how to order fucking caps and gowns for graduation. The thing is, the company, Herff Jones, their representatives, basically just talked about ordering or how to order or how fucking graduation invitations work. It's like a wedding invitation, except, you're inviting people to go to your graduation. For college, maybe that'd be something, but High school? Really? Ehhh.

        Their logic, for us, was that if we sent invitations, our relatives or friends would be inclined to send us money or checks as like, grad gifts, netting us like, $25+ profit on each. Each little "invite" letter, costs like $1.30, and they even got into thank-you letters, also $1.30. And then yeah, they explained some more shit like class rings, special tassels, fucking acrylic trophies, etc. They even played their own bootleg ads, consisting of, you guessed it, white people. 

        I could see how this and the catalogs would be appealing to parents, but for us, we'd, we'd kinda wanna save the money. I mean we already have to pay for a cap and gown, like, c'mon. I think the worst part of this all, the presentation I mean, was that, they were trying to appeal to a majorly Asian school. Rich white families, yeah, I could see them paying fucking $200 for invitations that you'd recycle after you read 'em. Asian families, not sure about spending that much for, paper with shiny foil in it.

        Anyways, there was that. Finally, Chinese, we had Chromebooks to work on our work, aaand, we played Kahoot. No practice today, there is practice tomorrow however. And not to forget to mention progress, there was some made. It's 11:51 PM, I'm cold, there's not much insulation, my fingers are cold, it's late, I'm tired, see ya.
