Good Morning everybody. And a good morning it really is. I'm so glad that the weekend has finally arrived. Everything has been so hectic and stressful this week. Yup yup. Yesterday, I took the fifth day of my chemistry final. Yeah....I didn't think I did too bad...but...it wasn't until after the test that I used to the wrong constant. 0821 atm/mol instead of 8.31!!! ahhhh!! I really hate myself for it. Gr...*Sighs* I hate chem. Man, I really hope Kittrell gives me enough points for setting everything up correctly. *Crosses philanges*
Anyhow...I went to my yearbook banquet after lunch at Claim Jumper. Oh. My. Goodness. You do NOT know how long I have been waiting for this day. The food was excellent. We have chicken that was huge! Yeah...it was like as big as my hand! Yeah...and it was so moist and just yummy! Ooh ooh, we also had mashed potatoes and the gravy was totally delish. I could seriously eat it by itself. The best part of the day, of course, was getting our yearbooks. Man. It is unbelievably gorgeous. It's white. Everywhere. Very nothing. It's not all convoluted like it has been in the past years. Ahh...I need to exchange mine though. The one that I received has a really messed up binding. Grr...I'm so mad. I should have done it on Friday. But yeah...it's great!! I'm really proud of it. It's such a great feeling to be a part of something that people will cherish for the rest of their entire lives.
After school at around 5.15ish, I had my mock trial tryout. Yeah. All the old members have to try out again. I know it's justifiable, but I think the real reason is because they want to kick people off. Yeah. I was nervous...but I didn't pretty well. Yup. Mitch said he thought I was the best witness in there. YESS!! Hehe...I'm pretty sure I didn't get kicked off. Man, Alana didn't try-out again though. That makes me sad. Ahh...the CHICK CAR is gone!! Blah.....
Man, I really hope I can handle everything next year.....Yearbook Editor, Troubadours AND Concert Choir, Mock Trial, NHS board member, 3 APS...and I might take a college class in the spring....AHh! Stress! Haha, but I love what I do....hehe.....
[...5.27.03...6.49pm...]
It's Tuesday and this have proved to be a great improvement from last week. Yup yup. Today being a modified day really helped. It seems as if I don't get enough sleep these days...even with APS and half of my finals being over. I just need to worry about my SATS in June. Yup yup. That's not too bad though. I just hope I do a lot better than last time.
Anyhow...today is LANY'S BIRTHDAY! Yay, for her! The BIG ONE ZERO. How exciting. Yup yup. I bought her this really cute Piglet stuffed animal. I almost want to keep it for myself. Heh. Yup yup. I also got Hieu, my friend's little brother a Stitch stuff animal. It's really cute. I can't until I give it to him. I know that he'll absolutely love it.
So yeah...I made Troubadours for those of you were wondering. Eh...blah!! It's driving me nuts. Yeah, you probably think I'm psycho but I'm not really supposed to say anything about it right now. Blah...I went to go talk to Mr. Stewart today. He is seriously one of the nicest people I know. Definitely one of my favorite teachers. What a great person. He is that kind of teacher that actually makes me really like school. *Smiles*
Eh...not much to say today. I really have to finish Uncle Tom's Cabin tonight. I can't believe that I have a B in history right now...Gr. I really need an A. It sounds crazy, but I'm going to try to read Atlas shrugged by the deadline for those 25 extra credit points. I will have no life until then...but really...did I ever?
[...5.21.03...6.35pm...]
Today was a bad day. Yesterday was a bad day. This whole week so far has been bad. I suppose it's because I am/was sick. I think it's giving me bad bad karma. But yeah, I had the stomach flu this past weekend. It was pretty bad. I woke up on Saturday morning with a fever of 102.6 degrees and Sunday morning with a fever of 104.2 degrees...and my tummy kept on hurting. It still hurts once in awhile now.
So yes, a quarter of my chemistry was yesterday...and I did bad. Really bad. Like I want to cry bad. Like I did cry bad. *sighs* I don't think I did too well on the second quarter today. Let's just hope that I do really really good on the equilibrium problem tomorrow. I really hate this class....I should have never taken it. It's totally screwing me over. I'll never get into a good college if I get a C this semester. AHhhh!!! It's driving me nuts. I can't wait until school is over. It's a good thing that there are only 16 days left!! ...I think. *Shrugs* I get out the 12th.
Okay, so the last of the three rounds of Troubadour tryouts were today. I think I did well. But then again, so did everybody else. That doesn't help me much. Heh...but they asked me to sing a lot. Maybe that's something good...and maybe it isn't. I'll find out Friday. I'm excited. It would be totally cool if I didn't make it though. I'll just take AP Spanish. It's all good and everybody's happy.
Ugh...I'm tired...I have to go clean later...the kitchen floor. Yuck. I feel like Cinderella. Poop.
[...5.16.03...8.30pm...]
It's Friday and I'm super glad even though it has been a fast week. During choir today, Horizon High School came to our class and sang for us. Wow, they are really really good. They may even be better than my choir. Yup yup. And their show choir is excellent...they sing AND dance. It was very impressive. Unfortunately, they wanted us to sing for them...and even though Mr. Stewart wasn't there, his sister made us sing anyhow. To be honest though, we were pretty good even though he hadn't practiced any of those songs in a couple of months. *Smiles* It was a fun experience. Ooh yes, Alana and I finally have our quartet. I'm supposed to go Andrew's house on Sunday to practice. Gosh, I hope everything turns out well. Hamilton was going to try out for choir...but when we went to the room, Mr. Stewart was busy. By the time school was over, Ham didn't want to try out anymore. Oh well, he would've been good. He has a very nice voice. Maybe he'll change his mind...it'll be super cool if he does.
My dad scared me today. He has really bad hypertension and his heart wasn't feeling well today. He called the doctor and they wanted him to come into the emergency room...but he doesn't want to. I'm worried. It sucks because my mom isn't home for the weekend. Gosh, I hope nothing happens to him. I would feel so horrible is anything did....Pray for him. Please.
I went to softball practice today. It was pretty fun. I think. OOh ooh...I had the play of the day though. Sean lined droved the ball really really hard towards me and I caught it. It was amazing. I think I had my eyes closed when it happened because I was pretty scared. Haha, good thing the glove I was using had extra cushioning. See! I don't suck that bad....
Well anyhow...I should probably start studying for my chemistry final and SATS again. *Sighs* Schoolwork still sucks after APS. Will it ever get better? Man, I think I'm getting senioritis already...
[...5.15.03...8.43pm...]
If you haven't already noticed, I messed up this front page...and it's making me very upset. Grr...I hate how it's not in the middle anymore. And there's a stupid scroll bar at the bottom. Anyone have any idea on how to fix it?
Okay, so today was my typical day. Nothing too exciting. Although I finally sang my solo today. Heh, It was really really good. I promise. Ask anyone who heard it. And it was such a great feeling being up in front of everyone's smiling face...and it was great to hear everyone screaming and clapping at the end. Yup yup. I got a standing ovation. Hehe, if you're lucky, you'll get to hear me sing the song one day. I have a math test tomorrow....and I still have to study. Ugh, I really hate trig. And I really need to do well on this test because I want to pull grade up to a ninety five percent so I can afford to screw up on the final. Yaddya yaddya....We also had a party in APUSH today. Yeah, sitting around is pretty fun.
So Howard, Ronald, and I decided on our report topic. We're going to do a presentation on a controversial in today's society. Yes, abortion. I believe that it's totally wrong...but I mean, what happens in the case where a girl gets rape and gets pregnant. Then what happens? I mean, it's not as if she could've prevented herself from getting raped...right? Ah...I don't know. This should be interesting. I know it will be. Howard and I will be arguing most of the time.
Heh...my mom went on a retreat at the Marywood center fro some Cursillo Vietnamese thing and she's gonna be gone until Sunday. Gosh, things are gonna be crazy around here without her...I can imagine it now: my dad constantly yelling at everyone and everything. *sighs* This is gonna be great.
My ear hurts again....
[...5.14.03...3.57pm...]
Yay! It's my MOM'S BIRTHDAY today!! Yup yup. Sa picked me up after school today to pick up her present. The four of us got us this huge orchid plant. I think it's absolutely beautiful. And the good thing about it is they live for about two to three months. I know roses are beautiful...but they die so quickly. It's nice to have flowers that last for a long time. Even so...roses are still nice...
Anyhow, today was my first day without any APs and I must admit that it was really nice. I only have to worry about my stupid FOUR DAY final that my chemistry teacher is going to give my class next Monday. This totally sucks....But I guess it could be worse. After all, I could be having finals in other classes that will kill me.....so yeah, I guess I should be more grateful. So I was supposed to do my solo today in choir. (If you didn't already know, I'm going to be singing At the Beginning.) But yeah, my teacher wasn't there, so I didn't go...dangit. I was all ready and everything too. Ugh...I'm going to be even more nervous tomorrow....wish me luck...gosh, I really hope that I don't mess up.....oh yes! I found a partner for my quartet...now I only need two guys....if I can convince adrian to try out....we'll be the Mock Trial group.....haha....that'll be interesting....but I'm excited though...I know all of my music!
Okay...so the Lakers lost....and I lost a bet...ahhhhh!!! It's okay though....heh....
[...5.13.03...4.44pm...]
It's official. I really really dislike AP Chemistry. Yes. You can probably figure that my AP chemistry exam was today. And you can probably figure that I didn't do too well on it. Yes, you figured right. Oh. My. Goodness. That must have had to be the hardest test I have ever taken in my entire life. I didn't know anything. The free response was ridiculous...I'm just a little upset because I know our teacher could have actually prepared it. I cannot believe he waits until a couple of days before the exam to give us practice worksheets. I mean, what good are they then? Plus, he gave me a progress report with a C for the class. Now that, is ridiculous because I know for a fact that I do NOT have a c in that class too. It makes me so mad too because Tyler's dad came in and talked to him...and Mr. Kittrell made up some stuff about how he looked at the grades incorrectly or it was just one of our test scores...blah blah. Oh, I don't know. It was some BS answer. *sighs* This class sucks. And if I don't get into UCLA because of it....grrr....
It's actually kind of nice that all of my AP exams are over. I can finally really relax and get to work on other things that I've been meaning to do. I still have to put the whole newsletter for scouts together. And my sister wants me to organize a bake sale for her class. Yep, it should be fun. It's a whole lot better than studying for AP exams. You can't disagree with me on that one. And now I can also concentrate on my Troubadour try-out...yup yup...I'm excited...but I need a quartet! I can find anybody....*sniffs* Ah, I'm actually having second thought about dropping my AP Spanish class if I make the choir....this is so hard....does anybody know if it's too late to sign up for a college course? yeah, well, anyway...i have to get my homework done. there's a laker game tonight!!
[...5.12.03...3.43pm...]
I am so unbelievably tired right now. Yeah, it sucks. I only around nine hours of sleep this whole weekend but I suppose that's my fault. *Shrugs* Oh well. Anyhow, it was an okay weekend. Softball practice...I'm really out of shape. Gosh, I'm all sore and everything. It's actually kind of embarrassing. I keep on telling myself that I'm going to go out and get a nice workout but I never get around to doing it. I need some motivation. Maybe this summer will do it for me.
So yes, confirmation mass was on saturday...blah blah... same old same old. Not anything too interesting. Oh yes. I did a look at some nice candy though. Hehe....Then thieu nhi was pretty fun. We reviewed some semaphore and played "steal the basketball" hopping style. That was fun except that the girls lost and Jimmy made me bleed. Hehe...I'm okay though! Don't worry! Sunday was okay too. Lakers game! Heh. They won, of course. After church I went to Hanhnie's confirmation party thing. It was a nice break from everything...but I really should have been studying for my ap chem exam. I could seriously shoot myself now....oh.my.gosh. I'm going to fail it tomorrow....*sighs* Goodness, only luck can help me now....
Ahh...I this strange feeling about something....and I'm getting to think that my intuition is correct. Ah!! I didn't do anything! It makes me kind of sad too. I thought everything was okay...but I guess not. I don't know what to think. It just makes my head hurt.
Yeah, well, I'm going to go study for my stupid chemistry exam...wish me luck everybody. I'm going to need lots of it.
[...5.3.03...9.03pm...]
I smiled today. : ) I know that doesn't seem like such a big deal, but it is to me. I've gone quite awhile without grinning for an entire day. And I suppose it's because all of the stress that I have right now. It's completely ridiculous, but hey, it's almost over. So my SAT 2s were today. To be honest with you, they weren't that bad. Definitely a lot easier than I thought they would be. Yes, the writing wasn't so bad...our essay topic was "The world is changing for the better." Ugh...my essay was kind of short. I sure hope it's okay...it's a good thing that the objective is worth twice as much...I think it will save me. As for the US history one, I'm really liking Ms. Park right now. People always go on about how stupid or whatever she is...but she's actually really nice. I learned a lot from her and I was totally prepared for that exam. The only BAD thing was her final exam that our class took on Thursday. Oh. My. Goodness. That must have been the hardest test I have ever taken...It was so much harder than one of the AP practice exams. And there were quite a few things on there that we haven't covered too! Yeah...I got a C on it...but we all get to make it up on Monday if we want to. I know I am. I need to get an A in that class....I need to finish Uncle Tom's Cabin and start reading Sister Carrie. I figure I can get an A with the extra credit points from those two novels. Math wasn't so bad. I was on a roll until number thirty something. I got kind of upset though because I couldn't figure out how to do the last few problems. I didn't even know what it was asking me! But yeah...I sure hope I scored at least a 650 on each of those tests....*crosses my fingers*
So yeah...I should really get back to studying if I want to do well on my make up...and ap exams.
