| as of right now, i am currently listening to esther's beautiful flute playing. she's playing mulan! and actually, this has totally made my day. speaking of my day... it was quite interesting. the reason why i'm updating so soon is because i want to record this day somehow. so to describe my chemistry class in 1 word, obnoxious. thats because we have vlad and adam in our class who both really enjoying arguing with eachother and the teacher. and then we have sarah who's really talkative. and we just have a lot of talkative people in our class. and then yesterday (because this is necessary to explain what happened today) we were doing a lab and it involved beakers. and so they ran out of beakers and so i asked the teacher for a beaker and she handed me one, but she let go too soon, like i wasn't holding on to it, and it fell to the ground and shattered. then literally- 10 seconds later, tien broke a beaker by pressing down on it on a tablet (cause we had to crush a tablet for a lab) and that shattered. and then she started getting angry. then not even a minute later, a THIRD beaker broke because someone was washing it under the water and i guess the water pressure was really high. so she was really angry after that. and today, we come in and we have new seats -- all boy girl boy girl. and then there's an frickin essay on our desk written by her of complaints she has of our class. like how we talk incessantly and the lab yesterday and how we're not careful and how we broke all her equipment. and then it went on saying how we're never gonna do labs again until we can behave ourselves (which is basically never haha). actually, i dont mind so much because hands on things aren't really for me. i'd rather just see her do it so i dont have to get up and move around. and then we also got new lab partners. christian is my new lab partner. i mean, he's really nice and all but he is so intimidating. if you guys have read avalon high by meg cabot, he'd be will. so i'm kinda hoping we dont do a lab haha. and basically the whole class she was talking about activities that we would have done if our class wasnt so bad. and you know, the funniest thing about this was that this story spread through the whole sophomore class within a few hours. and so did the letter pretty much. and she basically just kept saying how she's not here to be our friend blah blah blah and oh, my favorite "and if you breathe the wrong way, you have detention." yeah, she said that. i dont know. i dont mind it so much but what makes me really angry is that she should have said something at the end like "i know its not all of you being obnoxious so i'm sorry" because its not all of us! so its just really unfair. but whatever :) letsee. oh yes, today i failed two things. a program in java (59) cause my freaking calculating average program went awry. and when i tried to stay after school to fix it, i fixed the code and it ran perfectly when sophia was testing it for me but then i think i did something when i saved it cause after i saved it and mrs trehan went to run it, it went all bad again and it kept printing out the average when i didn't tell it to (because i printed out average earlier). it was just so bad. (hahaha you probably have no idea what i'm talking about) second thing i failed was an algebra quiz on exponents. i hate exponents. but i still have an 86 in that class so i'm doing okay so far. :) yep. life is good. | | |
| helloooo!! so basically, i'm supposed to be watching arthur right now. i know, i'm a total loser and i really need to get rid of this arthur infatuation. it's like everday i come home and go on the computer or watch murder she wrote with my mom and then at 4, i always get off the computer and watch arthur. and then, when arthur is over, i do my homework and study and usually i finish before 6. so today, channel 11 is being lame so i decided to update my xanga instead. anyway, i guess i'll start off with lyf retreat! it was actually a really good experience. much better than i thought. i guess lately i've been a little... negative towards lyf. but lyf retreat was really good and kinda changed what i thought about it. i looveedd my small group (haha tutupoo, sheekata, woomsheewa, hakachee and um i forget karen's name) even though they were extremely ADD at times.. but thats okay :). the speaker was alright. i mean, i really liked his message just the way he presented it wasn't exactly thrilling? but who am i to say. he was a nice guy and i feel sorta bad cause there's this huge culture rift. you know? the games were interesting... i think we would have been better off playing capture the flag or dodgeball or something. i mean, its not like you have to do the real capture the flag. you could add some twists to it! thats how you get games like gold rush or something. and same with dodgeball! do you know how many different versions there are of dodgeball? anyway, overall it was really good. i'm glad i was a peer leader but i didn't feel like i did much since my group was already really close. i guess it made the job easier? i'm not sure. the skits were funny. my group and pat's group wanted to rebel and fight the system so we sorta combined haha. and i totally thought we could make a poem too but i guess not. its okaky though. ours came out pretty good. too bad there aren't too many avid arthur watchers cause if there were, everyone would get it. if you didn't understand it, WATCH MORE ARTHUR. my favorite though would have to be christine cho's group. but her group always has the best skits. yep. overall lyf retreat was really good. this weekend i watched 'because i said so' with mandy moore... yeah, it sucked. it was not good at all. the mom reallllly annoyed me. i'm so glad my mom is not like her. and i worked on a history project with ouda which was interesting. we came up with a few ideas only to find out we couldn't do it today. but that's alright. its a good thing we didn't get too far. and then church yesterday. that was okay. sunday school was miserable. sometimes i think i ask for it, but seriously. boys are stupid. throw rocks at them. they took my shoes yesterday and i had no idea where they were so to get them back i had be like "do you know where those shoes have been?" and they were all like eww so then i got them back. obviously those shoes have been no where. i never wear them. mmm then the hums came over and i feel really bad when people come over my house cause the only things to do are: watch tv, go on the computer, or play video games. there is NOTHING exciting about where i live. mm OH so i got a job! i work at ginger tree, which is a chinese takeout restaurant. why does everyone laugh when i tell them? i mean, i know why dave sumaya laughs. its cause he thinks i'm a silly asian and i'm working at a silly asian restaurant.. but then others laugh because they're like "i can't imagine you working in such an unhappy place..." i mean, its not THAT unhappy... it only is when that mean woman is working. but the manager's wife is sooo nice. and so is the manager! haha he tried to speak cantonese with me.. it was really bad i didnt understand him at all. the food is good. well actually, iv'e only tried the general tso's chicken and egg drop soup haha. the hours aren't so bad. i only work from 5-8 or 5-7:30 3 days a week. letsee. school is alright. my favorite class right now is gym cause i'm doing archery. all we do is like sit there when we're not shooting so i have to do homework. and i hang out with cool people. haha actually they're really weird. but i hang out with this senior named mike, and a junior named eric. i knew mike from last year in gym so it wasn't just random. he's really cool except he's a creeep. he's working at witches woods and his makeup is soo creeepy!! and eric, wow i admire that kid so much. he's training to join the army and he's not one of those people that are doing just because they want a scholarship or something, no, he really wants to fight in iraq. not too many people are willing to do that. i think it's really cool but at the same time i'm scared for him. he's gonna finish his senior year and then go to iraq the summer right after. yeah. i also like gym cause we have pretty intense conversations that get heated. but only when ally's there though. but i still love her. yep. i love gym class. okay well i better go do my homeworkkk. haha wow i'm pretty bad at making short entries. btw, does anyone know any good books to read? preferably historical fiction (about girls in the 1800s) or historical fiction/fantasy, or romantic comedy. thanks! // edit hahahaha ok so i've been procrastinating for like the past few hours by looking back on my old entries. this xanga is more than 3 years old!! and so i didn't delete ANY of my old entries. i was just looking back on them and man, i was such a dork. why didn't anyone tell me how dorky i was?!?!? what a loser! i updated like every day! wow i had like no life back then. but it was exciting to just reminisce about the "good ol' days" (or not so good...) but you know what i mean jellybean. haha ok i really need to get started on homework. i have an algebra quiz tomorrow on exponents and i hate them. | | |
| hi so life has been alright. i really wish it was summer though. and i hate this weather. i'm so ready for the cold. all this global warming is freaking me out... a lot. i mean, sometimes i wish i lived earlier just so i won't always be afraid that the world is ending or something. but then again i wonder, did they face these kinds of problems back then? like when the broke the sound barrier they thought they were going to all die. that must have been wicked scary. it's too bad we can't exactly think "oh, maybe this whole global warming thing isn't such a big deal" like the sound barrier thing because this global warming thing kind of is... i mean, if all the ice melts the world is going to be flooded which is just a scary thought. all those inuit, alaskan people up north will have to find a new way to live and the polar bears will have to find a new way to survive. our whole ecosystem will be messed up!!! this is such a scary thought. and then i think in general, this world is getting worse and worse. i mean, the human population is going up which means that there are going to be less and less resources and all the well-off people (such as me and the community i live in) are becoming more and more spoiled and the third world countries peoples are all becoming poorer and poorer! and also inflation and how everything is becoming more and more expensive. but i guess this is just a taste of what it must have been like during the bubonic plague in england. it must have been really scary seeing people just die like that. and even scarier cause they had no idea what was going on! they had no idea of how it spread. they thought it was cause of all the sin and playhouses (cause that's when playhouses started becoming famous) and playhouses were bad. think of the plays as R rated movies. so ultra catholics (which weren't even allowed in england at the time because elizabeth was ruling so the country was protestant) believed that it was because of the plague so when the plague happened, the shut down the theater. but the plague still spread cause everyone was required to go to church. gosh i hope a plague like that doesn't happen in america. speaking of churches, can you imagine if everyone was required to be one religion? i mean that does happen today but like if everyone was required to the catholic and if you didn't show up to church you would be fined... that would stink. what if you get a life threatening illness? would you still have to go to church? what if you spread it to others? like the plague!! you know, the plague really interests me. i mean its freaky how it spread but in a way, it was really good for england. i mean, it killed off everyone (hahahaha sorry didn't mean for that to sound so morbid) but then it allowed for people to make money. like if you're an artist, and someone needed art, all the good artists died and youre the only artist left so of course they'll go to you and people will be in a way fighting for you and offering you more money so you'll make more money! and what's cool is that this led to the renaissance in some way! the renaissance was truly an interesting time. i really liked looking at renaissance art. i mean, artists really put in a lot of time into what they were gonna paint. for example, a dog in the corner of the painting could stand for loyalty or something. i wonder if artists do that today. maybe an apple stands for something like... smartness. cause you know how you give teachers apples? speaking of giving teachers apples, hahaha my chem class is totally ridiculous and sneaks in apples and various fruits when our teacher isn't there and our teacher has no idea who is doing it. now she has this fruit tally on the board. so far she's gotten 10 apples, 2 oranges, 2 pears, an asian pear, a lime, a lemon and a cactus pear. what the heck is a cactus pear? i'd like to know. apparently theyre popular in california... wow i haven't been to california in like what, 3 years? i don't know if i really want to go back. it'll be so weird! i haven't seen my relatives since i was like 12. i used to be really skinny back then. hahhhhh wow. ok so that was a really long rant about nothing at all. ok well i better goo ummm clean my garage (haha jk. they use that excuse all the time in arthur!) haha ok bye. | | |
| hmm so i should probably be doing my homework right now seeing that there's a syatp rally tonight (that i'm pretty sure NONE of the other lyfers are going to but i'm going anyway). anyway, today was a bad day but i won't rant on forever about it. things have been alright. letsee, a new "hobby" that i seemed to have picked up was reading. okay, so i guess its not new. i just found more time for it since i'm not doing much outside of school and lyf anymore. i read A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. it's basically about this girl in the 1890s and her mother commits suicide so she moves to england. she finds out she has these special powers and like visions and stuff. it was realllly good. soo good that i started reading the second one! which is Rebel Angels. it's not starting off as good as the first one but hopefully i'll get into it. hmm oh yes, i've also started crocheting. i am currently crocheting a scarf for caddy's birthday. i know he told me he doesn't need a scarf, but its the only thing i can crochet. id say that its coming along very nicely : ). i have also developed an obsession with arthur. actually, the obsession has always been there but now i like to watch it practically every day. it's kinda sad actually but when you have no life and no good channels, arthur is pretty much the only good show on tv in the afternoon. oh yes and i have also been obsessed with finding a job. i always feel bad for getting allowance from my parents. i mean, i get allowance for things i do around the house like clean, laundry, dishes etc but the thing is, i feel like those are my duties. they're things i shouldn't be rewarded for. so now i want to make money for real. definitely not working at kumon. i know that for sure. my friends and i looked up some jobs online and most places hire 16+ year olds and i'm not 16 yet. (4 more months!!) i know that CVS hires 15 and a half year olds so i might wanna work there. it would just be weird since my friend used to work there... anyway, just a nice quick update on my life. i should get to work now. later gators.
