Week: 5
Songs to Remember: Strange - MASC
Today's Saturday, what do you expect? Especially one where the day before had some bomb-ass venturing.
And due to schedule conflicts, the Discord chat and I aren't able to go urban exploring tomorrow. We will, however, go next week when we're like, basically free. For now, we're just, sitting here and playing League. And for me, troubleshooting Overwatch Battle.net connectivity issues for about 3+ hours, only to find the solution being that I had to switch my PS4 time back to date.
Oh and by the way, I had the craziest set of dreams last night. It's probably the top spot right now for most dreams I've ever had in one night. It ranged from a bunch of shit but most prominent stuff I remember was that I was running away from dudes in black vans trying to catch me, there were Chocopies I was trying to get, I tried blending with some homeless people and acting like I'm their weed dealer but instead giving them seaweed and them being blind while playing arcade games. And, while I'm blending in, I meet some other heroes like Hellboy and I put on Mei (from Overwatch) suit on.
Yeah, pretty crazy. I also woke up a lot from these dreams, then looking at the time to see that I can still sleep, then go back and continue 'em. Tomorrow will probably be the same thing as today, considering I ain't going anywhere tomorrow. Aaand uh, yeah, that's all for now. It's 12:02 AM, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Call Me Baby (YUHE Remix) - EXO, Strange - MASC
And to think I'd cut the finale short by not coming along with the KDT fam. It wasn't what I expected, but it definitely went better than what was expected.
Dance, where we added a bit more to our choreo routine and then practiced it some more. Math, where we just did a worksheet and have it for homework (actually not that much work for once). I waited for Lt to come from her AP Stats class, which is like, about 25 feet from my math classroom. Guess I didn't pay enough attention 'cause she disappeared, even when I did see her in the classroom.
And I know what you're thinking, "Drew, come on now." I've thought about it and with my experience, this time's different, I've "precisely refined" my decision, it ain't gonna be a "maybe," it's a definite "hey let's interact a bit more again." After break was Digital Art in which we showcased our animations to the class. We all got up, left our animation playing while we're walking around the classroom like an art show. I saw some pretty uh, "dank," stuff like Dat Boi and John Cena shit. There were some cool ones though, like, this one girl (I'm assuming) who did some smooth drawings, there was also a Hearthstone one too (of which took me a bit to figure out but once I did I was like "Hey, that's pretty good").
And luckily they weren't actually due today, as in, we didn't have to turn them in, even though I did manage to finish by the end of class. English, unfortunately was just, 2/3 of a video playing of a dramatization of William the Conquerer's spree and, about 1/3 of the teacher talking about, history of English stuff. This period seemed like the longest, like, I was in and out with my eyes closed, the clock was covered by the projector screen so I couldn't see the time. Not a very good experience, heh. Lunch, now that, was actually the same as always.
Gov, we just continued stuff from yesterday, have somebody present, etc. Also the teacher showed yet again another example of how he's chill and respectable about our maturity. He talked a bit about the NSA and how like, they can see if we send dickpics to eachother and shit, even going as far as using the word "dickpics" himself, of which I never thought a teacher would utter those words, heh. And yeah, nobody was like "Oh shit he said 'dickpics' LOL." Nah, everyone didn't really give a shit actually. Really like it how the teacher doesn't really censor shit just 'cause it's a classroom, ya know. Gotta "keep it real."
And finally Chinese where people just banged on drums for the whole period while we're doing "total-physical responses" with our vocabulary. The period also seemed pretty slow, but not as slow as English. I was actually pretty hyped for the KDT social, I was like "C'mon, just a few more minutes 'till the real finale, baby." And it was actually far from what I was expecting. I walked over there with a dude in my class who was planning to "join" KDT, and by that I mean, maybe come to a couple meetings and that's it. Not insulting him, just, I don't think he'll be planning to stay for long, maybe just test out the waters, ya know.
And holy shit was there a lot of people. I knew about, maybe 2/5 of the people there, maybe 1/2 at most. A lot of them were underclass-men and during the beginning it was like "Hey, nice to see you again" and all that to the KDT vets. As for the underclass-men or whatever, I could see that people were in their own little groups of friends. It was pretty cool to observe all that, especially from my standpoint, 'cause last year, I was like one of those people. Nice to see it from more than one perspective.
The sun was out, it was hot, about mayber 75+ people here, took about 15+ minutes to get stuff rolling. We all gathered in a circle, ya know, like from last year, and say the usual "Hi, my name is blank and my favorite K-Pop group is blank." Or, the reason why you joined KDT. The cabinet and I were in the middle of the circle, introduced ourselves first, then came the people in the actual circle. I was more interactive than I thought and I think that has to do with my power-position, just a little bit. I'm part of the cabinet, I'm a senior, I know basically how this all goes, I know at least some of the people here, I got nothing to worry about. Makes me feel like a bit of a role model sorta.
After we finished introducing ourselves and everybody, we started some more bootleg ice-breakers, starting with getting people in groups by having them find people who have the same birthday month as each other, and just talk and know each other's names and shit. Then it came to "find 5+ people who are in the same grade as you" which equals to, find your fucking friends, heh. We just sat together for a bit before the cabinet decide to do start the usual "play songs and mixes and dance to it." They encourage people to join but of course, nobody really joined besides KDT vets, heh.
There were like, about 2 people (in total) who weren't KDT vets who did join in for some of the songs, so props to them. I stayed there the whole 2 hours, the last 30 minutes or so were with Jk, telling memes and shit. I was pretty tired, even though I didn't really dance for many songs at all. I blame it on the weather. Oh yeah and KDT alumni did come, including Th, Dn (the former KDT president), the former KDT co-president, and Tu. The social event ended with like me doing Taemin's "Drip Drop" dance again (Jesus fucking Kristya) and a bit of other songs. For some reason every time I do a solo dance, and by that I mean this one, everybody starts Snapchatting the shit out of it, heh. Pretty crazy.
I was expecting to go home after all this 'cause I was pretty tired, but you can't have a finale end like that, can you? There's gotta be a bit more than that. So, the KDT vets were like "Hey let's go to the former KDT co-president's house." I was like "Damn man, my parents are expecting me to be home, my mom's parked right out front of the school right now." I really did want to go, it would've been me, Ln, Ry (or was it Rh? It's been a while since I used his name), Mt, Jb, Dn, Es (if I remember correctly those are initials I used for her, and if you didn't know, she's the former co-president), Tu, and Ev. I called my mom, I'm like "7:00 I'ma have my friend drive me home," she gave me the a-OK, and it got, excuse my language, as how the kiddies say it nowadays, "lit."
5 people were in Tu's car, the 5 of us were in Dn's car, the 5 of us being Ln, Rh, Dn, Jb, and me. We stopped by this milk tea place located in this plaza right next to my neighborhood, got, you guessed it, milk tea (of which kinda made me wanna vomit after consuming a bit too much of it), and went ahead to Es's house. Nothing special, just that one-story house, with some pets, a living room, the usual. It was the 10 of us there (that's a lot now that I think about it) and adding to that number was Jb's boyfriend and Jv. Adding upon that too was Cy and Kh, both KDT alumni's. We watched this bootleg-ass movie called "Killer Mermaid" on Netflix, and as you guessed it, it was pretty bad, heh.
Dn, Ln, and I stayed 'till 7:00 'cause that was the time we needed to ya know, go home. I just watched the movie, made comments here and there, discuss, you know, the whole "social" thing. And after all this, I was like, "Goddamn, I do have A LOT of friends." It never occurred to me that my social circle expanded so much. I got people from KDT, the Discord fam, and the cast, and with 5+ people in each, with KDT having like, 15 to 20+, that's, that's a lot of people. It's funny because, this series' title was meant to be about me choosing who I associate with more carefully, "refining" my choices, ya know. But, it seems to be a bit of the opposite of that, it's actually grown by a bit.
Also goes to show that a small margin of the series isn't really based on the people in my classes, that, a large portion of the series specials and shit happen outside the classroom, with people I meet or have met, outside of it. It's crazy to think about. Also, the amount of shit that's happened in only the first 5 seasons is seriously exceeding the other 3 by far. Like, the extremity's of these finales, specials, impromptu specials, it's unimaginable, ratings are through the roof right now.
And I might be a bit naive when I'm saying this, but reviewing all this, I can see my progression in maturity. From the first series to now, even if it is only the 5th season, I'm just more excited to see what's to come. Damn is it gonna get hyphy. Anyways, I got home about an hour ago after dinner, meaning I spent 13+ hours from home. I think that's a new record. Well alright, hopefully I didn't forget anything, though I probably did. It's 9:57 PM, I'm exhausted, people who still going hard since it's Friday night, see ya.

Thursday, September 8, 2016 "A Clearing For Me."
Thursday, September 8, 2016
Week: 5
Songs to Remember: David Guetta - Night of Your Life, Rose - ELO, Strange - MASC
This series has included so many nods and shit to the other 3 series. And I find that so fitting, 'cause it's like a step down memory lane.
Well alrighty, finished with work, let's get this show on the road. Episode. Dance, we didn't really do anything new, just practiced what we learned, rehearsed the choreo we learned, etc. Relaxing, err, whatever you'd call it. On the way to 2nd period, I was walking my usual route there which was through the path right next to the P.E area and then to the L-building. Walking through the L-building bottle-neck traffic area, I see someone who appeared to look like Lt (spoilers, it was Lt).
And I'm walking my usual speed, she's walking pretty slow. There was a big gap clearing between us. I could literally just walk right up beside her and say "Hey, Lt, how's it been?" I gave myself such a quick time to think. "So. The writers really want me to do this huh? Am I gonna turn it down? What is written so that there's no way I can fuck this up? Fuck it." And I did it. Walked right on up, on the right of her, walking a few steps near her, I scoot on next to her and say "Hey! Lt! How's it been?"
There's always been this metaphorical chasm. It takes so much to cross that threshold, to get to the other side, to get the courage to take initiative. And uh, yeah, it is scary, I feel it every time I do stuff like this. Every single series actually, heh, has been like this. I can recall so many times where I'm walking behind somebody (not "breathing down their neck" close, but, about a 5 or 10 feet distance) and I'm giving myself time to think "Should I, or should I not." This time, however, I told myself "I should" and this is what it got me. She had this smile on her face, her voice sounded like the first time I took initiative for her. "Hey I really liked your presentation." Still remember it.
She said "Drew! Hey! It's been good! Haven't talked to you in forever! What's your next class?" I point to the AP Calc room. "There? With Ms.Blank?" I'm like "Yeah..., heh. Anyways, see ya!" And I'm just thinking like "This is a weird analogy I'm thinking, but it's kinda like eating something and it's just bland, with no flavor, that's how the connection with Lt was for a while. Then when you add something like salt or soy sauce, heh, or whatever, you get a different taste, that flavor back." So that was basically what it was, and it did taste great.
Anyways, there's that, it was nice to talk to her again. Moving on, math, what a clutch. So the quiz only had 2 questions, but it was worth 10 points, and, I got like, the 1st question sorta wrong, the second question was easy as fuck. The teacher had mercy on me (for most people I guess) and gave us partial credit, netting me a 7/10.
Holy, shit, that was nice. Anyways, nice discussion in math between my table-mates, break was break, Digital Art was Digital Art, I got about, 85% done with my animation which is extended 'till tomorrow. English was another bore-fest unfortunately (I really do wanna see the crazy shit I know the teacher can provide). And lunch, was pretty much lunch. There was a CLOG congress council whatever, meeting today in the library. The other KDT cabinet has already went to at least one, and I haven't, so I had to go, which was fine.
I sat down, just, sat down, and listened. They really just talked about upcoming events on campus like, Homecoming rally, decorations, parade, etc. Merchandise, our fundings so far, blah blah blah, etc. Nothing really major concerning CLOGs, so that was good. We went back to class after it was over, Gov was just another group activity where we look in the Constitution to answer questions. I just really despise this sorta stuff 'cause it is getting stale. Like, the teacher, he's fun and all, but the activities are just, I don't know, there. I guess it's maybe the subject, I mean, American Government ain't all that much to woo about from my standpoint, heh.
And finally Chinese, where apparently people get really really hyphy during Kahoot.It and Quizlet games. So that was it, tomorrow is gonna be a hell of a finale with some KDT vets coming back for the KDT social, including "newbies" like, Jk here. I know he's not really gonna "join" join, but it's nice to have him around. Aaand uh, my buddy Ec's gonna attempt to get his license tomorrow. Also, my boy DrewN got a date for Homecoming. All's crazy. I'm expecting, the unexpected. AAlright, it's 11:19 PM, see ya.

Wednesday, September 7, 2016 "Free On Fridays."
Wednesday, September 7, 2016
Week: 5
Songs to Remember: Divin' - Geeks
Yeah I've been becoming more and more tired even though I do sleep before 1:00 AM. Combined with morning exercise in P.E, walking in the hot sun to all my classes (it was 85 degrees yesterday, 90 today), ones that are across the campus from each other, attempting to stay awake during lectures, it all doesn't with my energy.
Speaking of energy, Dance, is alright. Just compiling the stuff we know into choreo and that's about it for now. Math, oh boy. Today was such a long and boring lesson that we gotta continue it tomorrow. No kidding, it took more than the whole period to get through about 2/3 of it. And I ain't using the word "boring" for nothing. A dude was trying his hardest to stay awake, and even me for a bit too. Even the teacher admitted she'd have trouble staying awake if it weren't for her own talking that's making it possible, heh.
And by the way, quiz tomorrow. As for Digital Art, apparently the Photoshop animations are due tomorrow, did not know that until today so, I'ma have to rush some shit to get it done. However, I don't get any points taken off for being late, but, I just, I just wanna deal with it anymore. It's tedious, it's, not what I like, I like taking my time with stuff and the animation is just too rushy, at least in this context. Still doing the letter design though, albeit putting it to a hold for now.
English, another lecture. Or, video actually. Pretty normal, pretty, viking-ish. Lots of talking 'bout William the conquerer, heh. Uhh, yeah. Lunch was the usual except the cast and I were at the Dragonboat club meeting for today. It does seem pretty fun, you get to go to cool locations, it's hyphy, etc. But, not sure if I can deal with that plus my KDT schedule. I don't know.
5th period was Government, in which we talk and do an activity on the U.S Constitution, and finally, Chinese, where we practice writing hanyu pinyin and, random shit. In other news that is not like the usual, umm, the convo with Ct's still going on, albeit I do admit that I suck at texting. I take like, 30 minutes in between replies, usually more, up to maybe an hour or so. And it's not really constructive responses either, it's just kinda, whatever.
The real gem today was Yn continuing on the uh, the texting. And I don't blame her for taking a while to text back either because I have seen really, really slow texting. And that's okay too, because I'm doing that right now, heh. Anyways, I asked about college a bit, then she asked about the Lunar Show and stuff, etc. She said she'd really want to see me perform and uh, got into some large amounts of text. I opened up my notifications and see her last text being "Usually I'm free on Friday" and I'm just like "Awwwwwww yeaaah."
'Cause you know, it's nice for some larger guest appearances, or, cameos. She said she went back to school to visit last week but forgot to tell me, which is whatever, and that she was going to buy me and her friend some milk tea (which is apparently a sign of thankfulness and reward and grace or whatever here. Like seriously, I've heard and seen it so many times. "C'mon, I'll buy you milk tea" is an example of what I usually hear). She then asked what day I'd like my milk tea, any particular day or whatever, free on Fridays, etc.
I had a great idea of having her visit on Friday, during the finale with KDT, which would've been cool, but, she's helping her brother move out to college this week and next week (just in the mornings or whatever), so, unfortunately that'll be a no-no. But she says she'll come during lunchtime though, which is fine with me, heh. So yeah, really, really nice of her to like, give the fans a bit of remembrance. And also, some nice memories, like, I totally forgot about the time she brought me hot chocolate until she talked about getting me milk tea. Now that was something to remember.
But anyways, it's 11:18 PM, I'm tired, see ya.
Week: 5
Songs to Remember: Divin' - Geeks
Yeah I've been becoming more and more tired even though I do sleep before 1:00 AM. Combined with morning exercise in P.E, walking in the hot sun to all my classes (it was 85 degrees yesterday, 90 today), ones that are across the campus from each other, attempting to stay awake during lectures, it all doesn't with my energy.
Speaking of energy, Dance, is alright. Just compiling the stuff we know into choreo and that's about it for now. Math, oh boy. Today was such a long and boring lesson that we gotta continue it tomorrow. No kidding, it took more than the whole period to get through about 2/3 of it. And I ain't using the word "boring" for nothing. A dude was trying his hardest to stay awake, and even me for a bit too. Even the teacher admitted she'd have trouble staying awake if it weren't for her own talking that's making it possible, heh.
And by the way, quiz tomorrow. As for Digital Art, apparently the Photoshop animations are due tomorrow, did not know that until today so, I'ma have to rush some shit to get it done. However, I don't get any points taken off for being late, but, I just, I just wanna deal with it anymore. It's tedious, it's, not what I like, I like taking my time with stuff and the animation is just too rushy, at least in this context. Still doing the letter design though, albeit putting it to a hold for now.

Week: 5
Songs to Remember: Airplane - JERO
Although we're only on season 5, it feels like it's been forever since the beginning of the series. Like, just the other day I forgot what season 1 premier's opening theme was.
I've had about 3 or 3 nights of shitty sleeps so far, so I'm not in the best shape I can be right now. On the bright side, season 5's almost over with the season finale approaching in about 2+ days. Also, things are slowly, very slowly, starting to pick up. In Dance, we actually did something enjoyable, which was a little bit of choreography mixed in with our jazz moves we've learned so far. And it wasn't just me either, others thought it was pretty fun as fuck.
Math on the other hand, it's more or less just tedious work. No lesson today, just, literally do work, that's it. Break, yeah that was the same too. Digital Art? I actually got time to work on my design, and yes, it still does suck that the class goes by so fast. Unfortunate. English, now, we're still learning about the history of English and damn, not gonna lie, I think it is the most boring kind of thing that I've ever encountered. Not sure if the ambiance and white noise of the period contributes to that, or, the teacher turning off the lights and fucking around with my melatonin levels, I don't know.
But whatever the case is, my eyes are just shutting like shutters of stores on Purge night, heh. Anyways, lunch was what you'd expect, except these past few episodes have been Ag-less, in fact she wasn't even at school today, probably sick, and, maybe that was why she wanted goddamn tea when my buddies and I were at that mall that day. Government, probably tied with the history of the English language for being the most tasteless. The people in the class are okay, it's, whatever. However, all these simulations and analogies just get a bit tiring after a while.
And especially the tests or "assessments." They're pretty easy on their own considering we get to use our notes and shit, but, in order to get an A in the class, you gotta submit a "level 3" question to the teacher, have them review it, determine if it's a good enough question for you to attempt to answer, and then, only then will you have the chance to earn some more points for close to an A. If you do like, some of these "level 3" questions, you might bump yourself to an A-. Otherwise, the highest you'll get is a B+, which, although I'd prefer an A, it's whatever, I don't have much motivation to do that much extra work.
Chinese, on the other hand, yeah it's kinda just bulk work as usual, heh. We did change seats today, in which I sorta lucked out and am now sitting to the far left of the classroom, next to the wall opposite the door into the classroom, next to this one Junior girl, whom I have sat next to before, but that was during Chinese 1. She seems to take the initiative if given, however, I think she'd prefer sitting next to her friends than me to be honest.
Aaand, after some seats swapping, I'm still sitting in that spot. However, there's only about 38 students in the class, resulting in us 6 people sitting in our column, to be split into 2 separate groups. And yeah, she's not in my group, but it's whatever. Instead, my group members are this one Junior dude whom a lot of people joke around with, and, this one girl whom I assume is a Junior, and, was not here today.
But other than all that shit, there were some nice touches to the episode or season. The convo with Ct's still going, albeit slow and contains long waits in-between texts, which to me is fine considering I can't have my phone out for the whole period of my classes. And, as a surprise, even to me, Yn, ya'll remember Yn? She messaged me saying hello and how are you doing today. Damn, it's been, about 5+ months maybe? Since the last time I messaged her. I actually forgot about her until she messaged me.
I heard a double-vibrate on my phone and I was like "Fucking A, another Chinese class remind notification." I open it up and I see a Google Hangouts message, I groan, I look a bit closer and see "Hellooo?" written. I read the name and I'm like "Holy shit it's Yn," heh. That was, that brightened up the episode, the day. It was nice hearing from her again. Anyways, I created a bunch of more t-shirt designs today, I'm hoping to create like a whole bunch, maybe 10+, then start setting up something to like, maybe get the word out and see who likes the designs enough that they'd by a shirt of it.
And my goal isn't really to make a profit, it's more like, I don't know, experience? For fun? For fun. It's just something I like, and the benefit from people buying shirts that I design is that, the more I order in bulk, the cheaper each one is, allowing me to grab one for myself, heh. And yeah, each design is something that I, would wear myself. My designs are all based upon whether I would wear it or not. Alright, that's it, got a little tidbit of Chinese work to finish and we're good. It's 10:52 PM, see ya.
