[...4.28.03...7.58pm...]

Okay, so my phone goes off at exactly 5.58 am this morning waking me up.  Apparently, Jimmy had decided to message me in the wee hours of the morning.  Ah.  Well, I suppose it wasn't that bad considering the fact that I was going to wake up in five minutes anyhow.  But yes, today was an okay day.  I don't know...the thought of AP exams and finals don't really make me smile.  So I got my SAT scores last year.  They are a total joke...it's ridiculous...I'm so disappointed in myself.  But I guess they're okay since I didn't really study or take a class anything...and besides, there's always next time.  Yup yup.  And if I don't do as well as I want...I can always take a class over the summer.  Yup yup.  It's all good.  No worries.  I don't need more to worry about at this time of year.  

It just so happens that I might not have to take summer school after all!  I'm so excited!  Hehe, I went to my counselor's office to pick up a health challenge form...but she said that they weren't going to be lending books yet.  But she also told me that the state might cut health as a graduation requirement and just incorporate into the science classes.  Hahaha....and it's a fifty percent chance that that'll happen, so if it does...I feel really bad for those people who took the summer class.  Hehe....

I found out my score for my last history quiz....and I didn't do too well.  I got a C!  That's horrible.  But adding the extra credit that I got today...I really got a b.  So I suppose it's not too bad.  I just hope that I can still get an A in that class....eh.  I'm so glad everything's almost done....

Well, I'm gonna go study....final on thursday.  Wish me luck.  

[...4.25.03...3.19pm...]

TGIF.  Thank goodness it's Friday.  I could really use the small break to do much needed studying for exams and whatnot.  It's actually pretty stressful...I'm going psycho...carrying my note everywhere...even to church!  Ugh.  I can't wait until it's over.  Then I'll only have to worry about college applications and scholarships and all of that fun fun fun stuff.  I was thinking about my senior year.  You see, I really really want to do Troubadours (assuming that I make it) but I don't know if it's a good idea to drop my fourth year of Spanish.  I don't know, Mrs. Hennigan said that I probably won't get into a good UC if I don't take a fourth year of language.  And I don't know exactly how valid her statement is.  After all, I don't really trust her that much.  And even if I have to take another year of language at the college, I really don't mind....I just want to sing...and get into UCLA at the same time.  And if I do decide to do that...I don't know how much it'll conflict with Mock Trial, that is, if I make the team again.  Because, the Troubadours have after school gigs every now and then.  Ah!  This so hard....anyone have any advice that will really help me.  I need objective views....please....I'm  going psycho over this...

Anyhow, ASB executive council elections were today.  The speeches were pretty interesting.  Yeah...it's kind of stupid though...the popular people always win...and half of the people who are really really qualified don't get what they deserve.  And you wonder why FVHS has such crappy school spirit.  And you wonder why ASB always depletes the treasury with useless stuff.  I would run for ASB if I had enough time.  But I guess it doesn't matter anyhow, I wouldn't have a living chance of actually getting an executive position....I don't wear enough Paul Frank.

So I had a history test today.  Gosh, I really hope I did well because I'm not going to anymore of the extra credit movie sessions.  I'm too tired to attend them.  And I need to finish Uncle Tom's Cabin.  Eh, it's going to be a busy weekend.  I also have to go to Red Robin's tomorrow night...a.hh......

[...4.19.03...4.42pm...]

Well, my break is almost over...and I spent most of it doing absolutely nothing.  I was planning to do some ap studying...but I guess I never got around to actually doing it.  I think I might work on some chemistry homework later....yeah...after I get done with church and stuff.

Church!  That's all I've been doing this week.  And to be honest, I don't mind too much.  It's kinda nice....after all, Easter is my favorite holiday and Holy Week is something really special.  So yesterday was Good Friday and my dad, sister, and I went down to St. Barbara for the taking down of Jesus from the cross and his burial.  It was pretty interesting.  I spent most of it playing with little Jimmy and Teresa...and talking with Dung and Nhan and Robert.  Yeah, it was cool...it went kind of late though.  I didn't get home until 12.45ish.  But hey, I'm usually on the phone at the hour anyhow.  And of course...I did not fail to get on the phone when I got home either....can't break the routine, ya know.

So I went to the mall today.  I was planning to get a new Easter outfit and everything...but I figured I didn't really need one....so yeah.  I mean, it's not that important.  But yeah, I went into Lerner NY...and they had this really cute outfit....but...it was too big for me.  Haha...if you know what I mean.  Hehe....*shrugs*  I ended up not buying anything at all...although I did help my mom pick out pjs...they're so kute!  heh.  Yes....and someone was being a little difficult....*sighs*  I don't know where she learns it from...because it certainly is not from me.  *Shakes head*

[...4.16.03...10.31am...]

Okay, so I got back from camp on Sunday and I would've updated this earlier...but...I've been way too tired to do anything.  I just spent most of my time laying in bed and sleeping.  Yup.  That's the life.  Anyhow, I guess it would be appropriate to recap what went on during camp.

friday: So my sister arrived at church at around 5ish and the rest of the people were being sorted out into different groups.  To my surprise, the leaders had changed all of the original groups around.  Yeah, I was pretty upset.  After all, the ULTIMATE group was now gone!  But anyhow, the bus trip up there was pretty boring...there was a lot of traffic and it took us almost two hours for us to get to the city of Irwindale in Los Angeles.  So when we got to camp it was really cold and it took everybody forever to get into their tents.  Blah blah blah...it was pretty boring the first night.  Me, Hanhnie, Vy, and Trang just gossiped in our tent like normal girls do.

Saturday:  Yeah, so Saturday was a lot more interesting.  The HT woke us up at the wee hours, but it wasn't too bad.  So we played these corny water balloon games and stuff...and oh yeah, each group had to make their own campfire and cook rice and eggs.  Omgosh, it was like the hardest thing ever...my group got it done...even though our rice was a little on the burnt side...it looked pretty good.  I can't remember anything...it's been so long...umm...oh yeah!  The play thingy!  Well, each group had to do a dance/skit/song thingy on rice...and it just so happens that my group was assigned a dance.  Well, being the overachiever that we are, my group came up with a mini musical thingy...heh...yup yup.  It was good enough to win an award!  Yup!  So later that night they made us go into our tents while they got really for the "BIG GAME".  We were supposed to be quiet and stuff...but some guys from LB and Thai came over to our tent and we started singing and stuff.  Yup yup.  That was a lot of fun.  It started raining so the big game was cancelled...so I kind of sat around with Jimmy and talked to him...later on, I went by the fire and talked to Huy for awhile.  It was interesting...

Sunday:  Jimmy left for Arizona that Sunday morning.  It was pretty sad.  I miss him.  Anyhow, we went to mass and did the shortened version of the "big game".  My group ended up winning it.  That's pretty much all we did...that's all there was really time for.  We packed up our stuff and went home...Ooh...I almost got sick on the bus. Yeah, me and bus rides don't mix too well.  Huy was lucky that I didn't throw up on him.  So I got home...and slept like there was no tomorrow.....

Yeah, that was my camp.  I have to admit, it was pretty fun.  Better than most camps.  Although I didn't exactly get my way...my group still ended up doing very well.  I met cool new people...learned how to forgive....and how to open up my heart.  A simple smile and hello goes a long way.....remember that.  

[...4.08.03...3.15pm...]

Dude, I'm tired despite the modified day that I had today.  But hey, who can blame me.  The first set of our Carmina Burana concert was yesterday and everything went well.  So yes, after school, all of us choir-os flocked over to the Shoreline Community Church for dress rehearsal.  For us Les Chanteurs, practice ended at 4.30ish so Crystie and I decided to take a stroll down the streets of Fountain Valley.  We could have gone home...but we decided it was cooler to go roaming around the streets in our FV Choir shirts promoting the concert.  Anyhow, we were hungry, so we decided to go to Coco's.  We've never eaten there before, so it was interesting to try the food there.  Let me tell you one thing, it's not that great.  I guess my cream of broccoli was pretty good, but the bread bowl that it came it was...how would you say...SOUR?  All I know is that I won't be eating there again.  After we finished our meal, we headed down to Coldstones.  I seriously felt like an idiot in there.  Haha, yes, I've never ever been there...so I didn't really know how their menus and prices work.  And being the chicken that I am, I was too embarrassed to ask.  So I ended  up getting a strawberry banana smoothie.  That didn't turn out to be so bad after all because it was super yummy.  

Anyhow, it was nice hanging out with Crystie.  She's a really nice girl.  Yup yup.  Really cute...one of the nicest people I've met all year.  People like her make me smile...they are so genuine about everything they do.  Yup yup.  Hehe...

So anyhow...our concert was okay.  I personally thought that we could have been a lot better.  There was a lot of forbidden breaths that were taken and a lot of the girl has really bad etiquette.   It's like...we're onstage and your still talking?  Gosh, that says a lot about our choir.  Makes us look so bad...and even when we're just sitting there...you're not supposed to be giggling and passing our fart notes.  Ugh.  So unprofessional.  And what got me really annoyed is that half of our choir left during the stretch break.  You've got to love the dedication, yeah?  But blah, whatever...I don't care.  Oh yah!  Thanks to those who came last night.  It was so nice to see a familiar face the crowd...Hammy!  Howard!  Looney!  You guys rock!

I got my math test today and I got a "b".  Gosh, I'm so upset because I made the stupidest mistakes...Six times seven is thirty five!!!  Grrr....I'm so mad...*cries*  Now I don't have an "a" in that class anymore.  I need a break.  Now.  Lucky for me, Easter break is only four days away!  Yay!!

Well, I have another concert later tonight so I'm going to get forty winks.  Watch the Laker game for me!!!

[...4.5.03...7.01pm...]

Wow, it's kind of been awhile since I've actually blogged...but hey, I'm a busy girl.  This week has been nothing but tiring.  I guess with spring break coming up soon, teachers have been trying to cram so much information into our little heads.  It's kind of frustrating.  

But anyhow, it's the weekend now so I can relax just a little.  This morning, I picked up hippy and we went to go take the SAT.  Let me say this, I'll be lucky if I get more than 1250.  Yeah, it wasn't that great.  Or at least I don't think so.  Maybe I'm just paranoid.  It kind of sucks though.  I got this huge headache BEFORE taking the test...and I couldn't really concentrate.  I don't know.  I wasn't feeling that great.  Maybe it's because I couldn't fall asleep last night.  Or maybe it's just that I'm not a great morning person.  But whatever it is, it's over.  That is, at least for now.  I have SATS in May to take.  I don't think those will be too hard though...a lot less pressure.  And I've decided that I'm going to start studying for the SAT in JUNE now!  I have to if I ever want to score a 1400.  *sighs*  I envy those people who naturally do well.  But yeah...I'm trying...and I hope I get to achieve in that area one day.

Okay, so after the SATS, I went to scouts.  It wasn't too bad considering that fact that I really don't have that many people to talk to there.  We got into our groups for camp, and I have the elite group.  NO KIDDING.  What a great coincidence.  Anyhow, we have to this dance thing about rice...and I have this awesome idea!  Muhaha...I'm brilliant.  Yeah, it should be fun.  Yeah, very interesting...a whole weekend without washing my hair...gross...at least the time of the month is over for me.  Heh, great!  I don't have to worry about blood and stuff...hehe...

Well, I'm off....tired...
