III put me on a plane..
     March 26, 2006 // 11:38 AM

.. fly me to anywhere ...

Augustana - Coffee and Cigarettes <3

I have felt really good these past few days. It must be the weather. There's no other explaination. I like waking up to sun. With the exception of last night. I watched Saw II with Kevin yesterday at his house. I'm so tired of watching people die and spit out blood. Gosh that was nasty. And it stopped me from going to bed last night until 3am. I don't know why. It wasn't even that scary. Lame. I didn't even get to sleep past 9 today. wtf. that's almost less sleep than i get on a school day! Ergh.

I cleaned my room a bit this morning. There was nothing else to do. There still isn't.

I wish I could just fast foward to May. Have all my studying done, finish AP tests, go to Senior Ball, have my SIR signed, and ready to relax. And not to mention, turn legal. May has always been one of my favorite months. The weather is absolutely perfect. School is nearly over, and everything is just wonderful. But senior year May.. There's nothing better. I can't wait. I love spring. This whole time of year just makes me happy and excited.

I need some more 5 x7 frames.


 

III What to do, what to do?
     March 22, 2006 // 7:22 PM

Okay I haven't been able to think about anything but where I'm going to sign my SIR to. Basically, when Berkeley comes out next friday, I really better be making a decision. Honestly, I don't think I have a chance, but it'd be SO nice to get in. After Berkeley, I'll need to make a decision between UC San Diego and UC Davis. I really can't choose. I want to go to Davis, but San Diego is a much better school. I don't know why I want to go to Davis so badly. I think it's just because the fact that I could go home once in a while and sleep in my own bed and be in my own room by myself. The city isn't that big either. San Diego is so big. I don't know.. People say that there will always be something to do there. But it's not like I'll have the transportation anyways. If I am able to change my major to managerial economics at Davis, I'll really want to go there. I don't know what to do. Someone help me. Where should I go?


 

III big packages

I'm a lot more relieved than I was the last time I posted. I got in to UC Davis so I'm 2 for 5 now. Still waiting on SD & Berkeley. Ever since I've gotten accepted, I've been a lot happier, and excited. I really can't wait until I got to college. I can't stand it at MHS anymore. Too many gangsters. Too many annoying and dictator-like administrators. Too many people I don't like. Haha..

I'm kind of going toward Davis now even though I haven't heard from 2 other schools. It's just kind of convenient. I will no doubt know some people there and I will be semi close to home. If I go to SD, we'll have to worry about plane tickets back for my sister and I. And it's hot down there. My sister doesn't even really like it. If I go to Davis, I'll have the convenience of having some extended family about a half hour away, and I'll have the opportunity to come back home once a month or so. My parents can visit me and bring me yummy food I won't find at school, like my favorite chicken and oooh! that flour-y soupy ginger stuff. I don't have to worry about leaving things at home or bringing them back because it's so close. Davis is basically what will be more convenient for me. Going to San Diego I'll really have to think about. This is, in fact, if I even get in. Stupid SD hurry up and make up your minds.

It's so nice and surreal now. College is a few months away. I know as much as I am sick of Milpitas, I'll want to come back every so often. I am so excited, finally! Graduating! People got their graduation annoucements today. Crazy. I can't believe I'll be in my cap and gown in about 3 months and 2 days. Unbelievable.

Finally, after 3 years and about 8 months of stress, I can finally relax. I love this feeling.


 

III 5 more days
     March 10, 2006 // 5:17 PM

(photo from Area 4-5's International Night) I'm sitting here, being seriously pathetic and listening to Backstreet Boy's Black and White album, and starting to really feel old. I was talking to Kevin last night about some of my friends from elementary school. I've known them since I was in kindergarten. That was 12 years ago. Good gracious. And now I'm thinking, there's a good chance that I could end up at the same college as some of them. It's kind of weird thinking about it, but it's true. 12 years later and I'll be back with them again? I really hope college will be what I expect it to. Everyday, walking past the locker rooms withe Dallis and Jon towards our 6th period, I think about the day I won't have to pass these people anymore. We always complain about how some people in high school are so pathetic. Going to college is our hope that they'll be weeded out and away from us some how. Some people could be so immature. But to think you know, I was as young as them before. Hell, I'm still young.. But in a few months, I'll be graduating. I remember in kindergarten where we'd pretend with little caps that we were graduating from kindergarten. Gracious.

I remember I had a plan of writing letters to all the people I used to be good friends with but that I know I'll never talk to again after high school. Who knows, I might still do it. Kind of like a closure thing. Shrug.

Anyways, today was pretty yucky. I found out I had a hole in my shoe! Newly formed too! I thought those pair of shoes were the most water resistant! But now anymore. All my shoes fail. They are not rain-weather shoes. 2 pairs of Chucks, and a pair of pseudo Chucks. Yum. I should just bust out my sister's boots one of these days. teehee.

Today wasn't too bad. First period we had a presentation about graphic design and all that stuff which I always enjoy looking at. 2nd, we got our grades and I finally got that coveted A in Sousa's. Yippeee. He first gave me a C and I gave right back to him. There was no way. He messed up on my AP question scores. Yeayuh. 3rd, we had a test so I didn't have to listen to Ribovich babble on, which is always nice. 4th, we got our portfolio's back and watched The Killing Fields. I don't know why, but I like watching really depressing movies like that. It makes me examine my life. hah. How corny. 5th period.. we voted on dream photos. I was second. I hate being second. Ugh. Oh well, Mr. D liked it which is good enough for me. 6th was average like usual. Sigh. I think I might actually miss these easy days of class when I'm in college.

Oh yeah! I totally got rear-ended today! Some girl in the morning hit me while I was at the stoplight. What a loser. I wasn't even moving at all and hadn't been for a while. I turned into a neighborhood and they didn't even bother to follow with me! What assholes. Luckily there was nothing wrong with the car, but still, what a wuss! And I don't give a shit if you were on your way to school and was going to be late cause I was too. ERGH! I called my daddy and told him they were meanies but he didn't care because there was nothing wrong with the car. Stupid dummy drivers.

Sad. Backstreet Boy's Time is on right now. *tear*

Look where we are and what we've been through..


 

III thanks weather man
     March 04, 2006 // 1:37 PM

Yesterday was quite possibly the weirdest day. Weather-wise anyways.

The day started off pretty cold, with the normal cloudy skies. a couple hours later, a littl esun peeked out. By the time it was noon, however, the skies were dark and it was freezing. Good thing we had lunch that time eh? All of a sudden.. lightening. 3 seconds later, thunder. 2 seconds later, hail storm. Hail falls for about a minute. Then it all stops. 2 minutes later. The whole cycle repeats. It did that about 3 times. Then about half an hour later, the sun was out and the skies were blue. Very weird. After school, it was pretty warm. And by the time night fell, some rain did too. There was a point where it was rainning, but when you looked above, there wasn't cloud to be seen. Strange I tell you.

And darnit, it just has to be rain-less today instead of tomorrow. Tomorrow is the Interact Cruise and I'm really hopeing it doesn't rain or get too windy while we're at sea. And please don't make me get sea sick! I think i'll just bring some meds in case. hah. Although, I have to realyl be sick before I swallow a pill.

I really need to start my FHAO project. I think I'll head over to Staples soon. I have 2 $3 gift certificates for turning in cartridges. Yippee.
