Birthdays

Two of my friends have birthdays tomorrow, and I'm so excited for them! I have a really amazing present for them, and I can't wait to give it to them.

I really hope they like it because I really do!

So, happy early birthday to them!

SAT's

The best part about weekends: sleeping in. Worst part about tomorrow: being at school at 7:30 am for the SAT's.

I think that students would do better on the SAT if they had more rest. Even if the test started at nine, I think scores would improve.

This is my second time taking the SAT, and the first time I took it, one of the kids in the same classroom as me didn't have a calculator. I felt a little bad for him. I can't even add 2+2 without a calculator. Poor guy.

Oh well, hopefully tomorrow will be over as soon as possible, and I can enjoy the rest of my weekend. Sigh. Why do they judge us on a single test score?? I think it's ridiculus.

Chillin' With The Fresh Prince

Aww, yea. My jam came on Pandora, the theme song to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Unfortunately, this is the second day that the headphones I recieved from friends decided to stop working. And now I'm like RAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWR. Because now that I have awesomeness in one ear, I have nothing in the other. I don't need to the balance. I mean, all I really want is to listen to some great music with some great WORKIN' headphones.

Anyways, that's all I have to say. I need some good music in my life.

Applyin' Fo The McLife

Ryan Yap-D's Facebook status made me laugh. And I really wish I had time to go to a job, but my life is complicated and I, quite frankly, am seeing more negatives than positives from getting a job right now.

I tried thinking of the best times that I could do it and I came up with after-school Monday and Friday, then Saturday and Sunday. The only problem with this is that I am an extremely tired person. I can barely take school without passing out after getting home. And by passing out, I mean going to sleep. Also, that's my time for myself. I love my time for myself. It's just awesome to just relax and not worry. Buy alas, those days might be over. I'm thinking of applying sometime this week, maybe this weekend. Maybe not this weekend. I feel as if I have something important to attend to. Hmm.

Anyways, I am hopeful that my brother-in-law adores me so much that he'll one day give me the car he has now:P. Hopefully soon. Haha, oh man, I still have a lot to do. My non-procrastinating days=over. It was a nice run, getting at least 8 hours of sleep each night, but bye-bye to that.

Oh! Just remembered something to do after school tomorrow. Darn it. Why school? Why? I miss the old seniors. They would've given me great words of wisdom. I miss that.

One Side Is Always Lacking

Does this happen to anyone else other than me? I feel as if when I'm doing a stellar job in some aspects of my life, (for example school, friends, organization, whatever,) then another part of my life is lagging behind a little bit. Then, when I try to fix that, then other parts of my life lagg. An endless battle, I suppose. There's no such thing as perfect, as far as I'm aware. Or I just haven't found/experienced Perfect yet. Hm. What a weird thought. Anyway though, I need to stop blogging and study for a Chemistry test. I'm getting distracted.

What Does Fresh Air Smell Like?

When I got home from scrimmage today, I felt the need to do something about my room. There's always a bunch of school-related stuff strewn on my floor and a little pile of nonsense in the corner where I don't look. So I started cleaning and putting my stuff neatly where they belong, when I was like "it's a little stuff in here." So, I opened my window to get some real air in here. Unfortunately, I think it had an opposite effect.

It smelled like something was burning and I was a little bit curious as to why, I mean before I opened the window, it didn't smell like that. . . .I'm serious, it was a really weird smell so I ended up spraying some air freshener everywhere, but it kind of smells like old people. And now I just saw a flying bug in my room and there's only one way it could've gotten in here. Gosh, that's what I get from opening my window. And now it's really cold here and I just started washing my sweaters! So now all I have are shirts:/.

Pandora. Oh Pandora. They really just need to relaunch their website or something because
1) I'm tired of listening to massage and scary ads
2) The darn thing keeps freezing up on me!
3) They don't get the hint that I don't like pop music.
I recently made a rap channel, except, I don't like rap, I like fake rap because it provides great humor for me, however, Pandora can't take that hint. I mean, I didn't even put in a real rap song, it just "rap roots" apparently.

I spent my Friday's lunch with a couple of sophomores. Oh my, they are trouble, if you know what I mean. I just kind of strolled over and merged with their group. Except they kept going over the same freakin' thing over and over. There was lots of debating and correcting,  such a hassle for a test. And what's worse is that they're super smart, they really didn't need my help at all!

I could really use a Starbucks right now.

On Our Way

Right this second, I'm sitting in my chair staring at my computer screen because I just can't comprehend how much I have to do, and how little time I have to do it.

So far, junior year is by far the hardest. With only one AP last year... sigh. I wish I could go back to that. I actually liked AP World, and would give anything to not really have to study for anything but that.

I think junior year's the hardest because along with taking hard classes, we also have to study for the SAT's and the ACT's (whichever one).

The best part about junior year though, is that there are a lot of lasts. For example, this is the last year we take the CST's, this is the last year before applying for college, this is the last graduation before our own...

However, the best part of my junior year is, by far, French. French 4 is my favorite class, and I wish I could stay there all day, every day.

I just really want this semester to go by quickly. I don't know about everyone else, but I want to sleeeeep.

My Blog

Megan is fishtailing her hair. Julie is ranting. Juliette doesn't know what to blog about. Megan wants me to blog about hipsters. I'm bored. Megan forgot a strand of hair. Megan is a drama queen. She just hit me. Now she's fishtailing the other side. I'm still bored. Megan still wants me to blog about hipsters. Shelby is writing on paper. Now shes checking her phone. I stole her pin. Julie is going on rage mode.  Now Megan and Julie are fighting about Anatomy. Full-Cup. Julie has a video to show us. Megan is on Pintrest. Amanda is talking to us again. Julie is my partner. Hashtags. Amanda is still talking. Megan just slid her phone to me all "super spy" way. Five minutes to come up with hashtags. Semester2. Julie is giving the paper to Amanda. Watching a video on Megan's phone. It was funny. Cat Friend vs. Dog Friend. Mr. Nicols is at my pod. Working. Working, Working. Julie left the pod. I don't know where she went. Yup. So this is my blog.

:/ Face, All Day, Erry Day

I am so frustrated! For so many reasons! Why do people trip! Urggg.

But one of the small reasons for me having a face like :/ is because when I'm at home and stretching and whatnot, I have absolutely no problem holding a perfect splits on my right side. It's so much fun! But right when I get to dance class, my legs are incapable of going anywhere near splits position. But I know I can do it, so why can't I? Ah, man. It sucks.

You know what else sucks? People trying to prove you wrong because they think they know everything about something that well, I'm not so good at. I'll take advice, sure, but if they're intent on using fancy words I know they don't know themselves, then I go back to the :/ face. Like, calm down, you're not better than me by much. If they were like the teacher, then I'd be like, oh you know what you're talking about, however, in this case, it irks and pains me to see someone so high and mighty.

Pandora is creeping me out with this one movie trailer about some scary chick standing on something else, which makes that scary. What's even worse is that Pandora likes to freeze, so I end up staring at some Grudge-like face for ten seconds. :/.

40 pages is the next amazing AP US chapter. Joyous. 40 pages of nothing. I had a hard time with the industry chapter because I kept asking, why do I care about this? :/ I'ma spend like 4 hours on it. Whew, oh man, oh man, I have so much to do, but I'm not really up for it because I know what's gonna happen tomorrow when I come to school. Katy is gonna beat my US quiz score, not that I really ever challenged her:D, but she's perfect in every subject...One of these days....

Senior year, oh senior year, why don't come sooner?

Am I the only one that still blogs? Because that's what I think.... Nichols, do you still read these? I hope I get graded for this because if it's not a part of my grade and I'm really just wasting my time, then, yea, I'll stick to article-blogs.

Things Of The Past

Ah, I was reading some article on Yahoo! about discontinued snacks from where-ever. I realized that I miss Cherry Vanilla Coke the most. It was soooooo good. I remember I only had it a couple times, but it was so good, I still remember it. It sucks because they only kept it for a year, however, I didn't know that, so I've been searching for it secretly until now. :( And no, I can't just mix a cherry coke and a vanilla coke together, it defeats the point and it costs more. Never again, will I be able to taste the delicious-ness of a cherry vanilla coke.

So far, I had been really good keeping up with my homework and successfully have had two 10/10s on the quizzes in AP US, although the second one was an on-the-spot. That has never happened; I'm so happy! However, this weekend has just totally thrown me off.  By this, I mean, I slept in and got a nap, so once again, I weigh out the benefits of doing homework versus doing something else. I have the old AP US book out in front of me right now, but I can't find the strength to push through another ten pages. By the way, it sucks for everybody that doesn't have a copy of the old book because it's just amazing to have and be able to write all over it and I'm just in love with it, even though it's pretty much the exact same book as the one we have now....

I agree with Rhiannon, I'm done with school. Just too much! All I want is to go to bed and have two months to myself with my homework worries non-existent.

Second Semester

Wow. I can't believe that it's second semester already.This semester it's AP Testing, CSTs, ACT, SAT, and the end of my junior year. Oh my gosh. This is crazy.

Since coming back to school, I have definitely been procrastinating more. We are only a few days in, but I am just so ready for summer!

This summer, I'm flying out to Britain to stay with family, and I am so excited! All I want is to be able to walk into town, and sit in a coffee shop with a book every day with zero homework and zero things to do.

Only five months to go...

Err Day!

Tomorrow is -er day. So, what I was thinking was of being Err. Oh yes, the best character besides Master Shake on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, or what they're known now as, something something, I forgotXD. But, it is definitely the best idea ever! Somebody wanna be my Igninok? If you don't understand this paragraph, then shame on you! Shame!!!!!!

It's been a while since this happened, but since I have absolutely nothing to talk about, I might as well tell you guys about my journey with Mckenna on the way back to Rocklin from the devastating scrimmage with St. Francis. On the way back, we passed a mall. There was a store called "Casual Male XL." I don't know if it really XL, but it had an X in there for sure. Anyways, they had a bunch of pictures on the wall-window, which is typical of any store, really. But, in all the picutres, there was always a lady in front of the man, so it's not like you can even see the man. So, with that said, how am I supposed to know how the casual male XL looks if there's a freaking woman in front of him all the time?!

Later, we passed by a statue. It was of a horse looking thing, however, there was something on the horse. A mermaid. If not, then it looked like a mermaid. But I have no idea what the mermaid was doing on the horse, it was like half connected to the horse, so I felt a little bit weirded out.

Today, the junior color is black. Everybody just has to comment on how this is the perfect day for me and how easy it is to dress up. I can't tell you how much I hate that. Like, I understand I wear black... I should've dressed in red.

Annnd We're Back

Now usually I don't like Thunder Days, but today wasn't all that bad. I'm so glad because last Thunder Day it was really hectic and I felt like I was zipping back and forth across campus all day. But today proved my theroy wrong. So I'm glad. :) Welcome back everyone. :D

Resolution

Anyone wanna bet I'm not gonna come through with my resolution? Any takers? I swear, I keep telling myself that every year I'll cut down on my procrastination, but it doesn't work. It's probably because I don't have enough willpower to do it. It seems quite horrible to do homework in advance, right?

Well, this is the shortest blog ever. Blame the thunder day:D. I like thunder days, simply because I don't do anything. Rahul agrees.

Break

My break was really relaxing and fun. I slept in, went to the snow, skied, built a snowman, disassembled a chicken, and put it back together, played video games and watched movies. It was very uneventful and extremely relaxing.

Just Another Post About 2013

Yep. Here I go, about to talk about 2013. What can I say, everyones getting older. Its so crazy! I guess that the new year brings reality checks to some people, even me a little bit. Almost two years of high school down, and two more years to go. I'm very lucky to say that my high school experience has been the best that I could ever imagine. I'm extremely fortunate to go to this school, which offers so many opportunities; I just can't believe it. I've always liked school, and Rocklin High has been amazing thus far. I don't really have any regrets. Oddly enough, I don't have any really important Resolutions I want to make also. I'm just gonna' keep doing what I've always been doing.
I had a pretty fantastic Christmas, too. Christmas is my second favorite holiday/get-together of the year, besides my birthday. :D I love giving and recieving gifts. It makes me feel good. :)
I've been reading frequently this break too! Yes, I'm guilty of reading on my vacation time, and proud of it! So far I've read two books; A Child Called It By Dave Pelzer and Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen. I loved both of them immensely!
Anyway though, I've poored my thoughts out. I think I'm done for now.
See ya!

New Year!

it's finally January of 2013!!! I am both unbelievably excited and scared out of my wits. This year is going to be filled with loads of reading, writing, and deciding on which college to go to.
Is it bad that now that I am 'growing up', I want to be a child again? Can I just focus on what I got for Christmas and the excitement of everything else while not making my mind go crazy at the unforeseeable future? Why yes, yes i can, because it is a NEW YEAR. I know that new years resolutions are always made but never done, so that is why I am making my only resolution to be this: do the best I can. It's not the big of a thing to complete, and at the same time, I can do it at almost everything because it is what I already do.
(Does that make me a cheater?)
I don't care. I am going to be a happy camper because of this. I mean, I could have put down the usual stuff that never gets done, but I wanted it to be a goal, not something I SHOULD be doing. So my official list (so far) looks like this:
1. Do your best
2. Watch every Disney movie you own before New Years this year.
3. Read every book you haven't yet read that you own before buying another (this rule is now a permanent fixture in my life because I have this thing about buying 5 new books before I finished reading the other 6 that are still on my shelf).
4. Don't fool yourself, just be you. (Obvious and cliche but give me a break, gotta remind myself to do things for me, not for others, some of the time).
5. Be more active

And so on and so forth. Maybe my next one should be: don't get mad at my alarm clock for waking me up for school..... I'm going to be needing that one in about 5 days....

First!

Yay, 2013. One year closer to graduation!This year I'm going to be 18! I'M SO EXCITED! I really can't wait for school to be over so I can move on to senior year.

However, I have many hurdles in front of me before I can even think of the next vacation, which is sad. I have the ever-dreaded homework, which I promised myself would get done before the new year, but my nerdy ways have gotten in the way because I got infatuated with a new anime I found. It's really bad. But what's nice is that I've watched 100 episodes over the past week:D and still have about 250 to go.

I watched a movie about Ted Bundy last night. Yea, great way to end the 2012 year. But it was in Spanish, which I don't mind, but I don't like the idea that the voices don't match the characters. Like think of Spongebob, now replace his voice with mine. They just don't go together, right?

Lately, I've created a lot of indie rock stations on my Pandora. Why? Because I heard a song on the radio and I fell in love with it. However, I was on my way to WalMart, so I only got a minute of the song. I can't remember the lyrics, but I'm sure if I heard it again, I'd know if it was that song. So far, Pandora has let me down, especially with its never-ending ads to get me to be a massage therapist. I really just want that song, how hard can it be to find it?

With the spare time from break, I've decided to pick up my pencil and draw again, the only thing is I dunno what to draw. I want something that somebody would say "I'll buy that." but also something that is striking, something that makes somebody wonder and say, "I've never seen it that way." So, as for right now, I'm at a dead end, which also explains a Spanish book I'm reading. Two sentences in, and I gave up. I just don't understand. Oh well, I'm gonna watch more movies, listen to more songs, and watch more anime to satisfy my nerdy ways:D. Whoo, 2013, I feel this year, I'm going to have great joy.
