| Today and yesterday have both sucked. Yesterday was
Halloween, I didn't dress up or anything. I spent tutorial handing out Halloween
grams for Key Club which was kind of awkward. At lunch I skipped Key Club so I
could go to lunch with Khaliun but I didn't see her at the library... I think we
were both kinda disappointed. And no one else wanted to go to lunch with me. I
went to Red Apple during my TA period with David, which was no fun because he was
worried about the time (we came back with a surplus of 20 minutes left.) Today
was more of the same... at least the school part was easy. Watched a video in
History about Jefferson and Sally Hemmings which was actually pretty interesting.
During lunch no one wanted to go anywhere, which wasn't a problem because I
wasn't that hungry anyways. In LA we discussed Halloween and watched Simpsons.
And I just came back from the store with a money order for some VCD's. I need to
stop feeling so antisocial. |
| 10.30.01 12:17 AM (Tuesday) |
| My day has just been dandy. In the morning I went by
Strentz' room to drop an essay off which I was hoping could get corrected today
but didn't. I found out in AP US History I'm getting a mid B at 80.0% exactly
because I got 100/100 on the in-class reading analysis and a 50/50 on the extra
credit, yes! I sacrificed lunch on behalf of keyclub to sell Halloween grams with
Christina. And that was my day, pretty much. |
| 10.27.01 11:59 PM (Saturday) |
Today I went out to Southcenter with David, Eric,
Alex L., and his brother John. We spent like an hour in the arcade, I played DDR
twice. After that we were going to go to Red Robin but didn't for some
reason...
I also went to Southcenter yesterday with my sister because she had
to go shopping for Franklin's Homecoming. |
| 10.25.01 6:18 AM (Thursday) |
| I accidentally fell asleep last night.. well
yesterday was just dandy. In Japanese we learned how to use "kara" and "kedo".
During tutorial I played Survivor again, but I was voted off in the second round
because I lost to a rock-paper-scissors fight with Eugene. In AP Stats we had a
huge test, I hope I did well on it... and our project was due too, but I
accidentally did the wrong type of graph so I'm turning in the right graph on
Friday. Lunch with Key Club, nothing too eventful. Laura bought me some chicken
because I asked her after Japanese. And TA period... usual. |
| 10.24.01 12:56 AM (Wednesday) |
| These past two days have been, as usual,
uneventful. Today in AP US History I found out our class averaged 80% on the
rescore we took Monday... while all the other four classes managed a 85%. It's
kinda sad really. Lunch has been really boring, I really need to find some new
lunch buddies who will settle for Ezell's! While TAing today David got really
pissy because I wouldn't do my TA stuff because I had LA stuff to do. It
irritated me. At least we got to watch a neat reaction involving hydrogen gas, a
balloon, and fire... after that, AP LA was neat because we were taking notes and
Ms. Strentz had this story of her crazy grandmother, and everyone wanted to share
their stories of old people, and we got into so many tangents for the rest of the
period it was pretty fun. |
| 10.21.01 7:35 PM (Sunday) |
| This morning we were supposed to have an NHS cleanup
but it was cancelled because of the weather. Oh well. I came back just a little
while ago from "helping" Khaliun. Got a ride from my sister's BF Downtown to
Nordstrom's Esperesso Bar, then Khaliun drives by and I hop in b/c she was
looking for a place to park. We ended up parking in the Meridian 16 lot. To
Starbucks, where I "helped" Khaliun do her Chem labs, across the street from
Nordstrom's. Called David up a few times because I had questions myself. It took
like 2 hours, I dunno if I helped her much though. After that Khaliun decided she
wanted to go shopping, we spent 45 or so minutes at Nordstrom's and she didn't
even buy anything... to Old Navy, bought nothing again. After that we went to
Gameworks so I could play a quick game of DDR 3rd Mix. Then we went to Angel's in
Broadway, got some spicy noodle dishes that was really good, then Khaliun dropped
me home. |
| 10.20.01 10:00 PM (Saturday) |
Haven't updated in a few days. What did I do...
Tuesday, we got back our tests in Japanese. It was kinda funny because I was the
only one to get a 10/10 so Craig-sensei let everyone but me take a rescore
(sounds snobby, but I was modest about it... furrealz, yo.)
Wednesday was really boring as well; we reviewed kanji dates in Japanese. During
lunch I had a Key Club meeting, we signed up for volunteering for this Halloween
fund raiser. Oh yeah I asked anyone if they wanted to go to Ezell's with me
afterward but no one wanted to, so I went alone, with 15 minutes left during
lunch. Usually it doesn't take long but the line was filled with adults, that is,
non-students, and they ordered actual chicken so the line took hella long. Just
as my order was about to be taken this woman cuts me and orders $100 worth of
chicken, and the guy took 5 minutes to ring it all up, and I was waiting there
looking at my watch and being bored. Then the woman paid and I thought I could
finally order but NO! She goes and asks about sauce. I was like WTF. Oh well. I
ordered, got my chicken, and I was late by around 10 minutes, but it was only to
my TA period. Luk was there, he did his Precalc (they're doing derivatives of
logarithmic functions @ Central, what's up with that). We got to watch a fun experiment,
forget the chemicals it involved. And that was Wednesday.
Thursday we had a boring lecture in Calc. During Tutorial I helped Michele play
against Dan in Stratego, it was funny because she put her pieces randomly on the
board, the only pieces I placed were some 7's around the flag, which actually
helped. Dan lost, and he seemed kinda pissed. History, a lecture and an in-class
assignment b/c we don't have study questions for the Constitution section. In AP
LA we got our essays back, I was so bummed because I got two B's, one on the
assignment, the other on a reading packet.
Yesterday... we watched a video in
history because we had a sub, which was one of those rare days. Lunch was spent
in Stever's waiting for Khaliun because she wanted help on her Chem lab but she
wasn't there so I went to the cafeteria to get food, she came late because she
went to get some Phad Thai. It was pretty good too, I was stuffed afterwards. LA
I led a group discussion, Brian, Chris and I divided the class into three to have
a more smooth discussion, but my discussion was hella quiet! Oh well.
Today was pretty busy. I woke up early to take the PSAT's. Got a ride with Amy
and Shu Ming, picked up Jennifer and we headed for GHS to take the test. I was
assigned to Anderson's room, 119, and I sat near Ben O. The test was long and the
verbal part sucked. Afterwards, Amy gave me a ride home. At 5, Eric, Alex L., and
Jeffo picked me up. We called up Aaron to go bowling @ Imperial Lanes. It was
pretty fun, considering I hadn't bowled since 3rd grade... my first score was
like a 30 (wow) and my second score, with bumpers, was around 90 (ooh.). Went to
Chinatown, in Pho Bac for some noodles and coconut juice. Then to McDonald's for
ice cream. But on the way home, we drove by this secluded street and tried to get
ourselves scared... it was pretty fun. |
| 10.16.01 5:43 AM (Tuesday) |
| Nothing interesting happened yesterday, except an
essay test in US History. I found out I got a 55 on my DBQ. Lunch @ McDonald's in
Gabino's van. Yay. |
| 10.14.01 6:56 PM (Sunday) |
| As I predicted, today was no ordinary day (again). In
the morning I practiced driving then went to IKEA for a wardrobe closet and a
lamp, which totaled around $120. Got home, spent three or so hours to put the
closet together. Then I told my sister and her BF to go get me a PS2, so I gave
them $360 and I just got it... it's beautiful... I got the package with GT3. I'm
thinking of whether I should get it modded or not, the import PS2 games look
tight, and it'd be cool to play import DDR on my PS2 as well (all the other
Bemani games, Beatmania, PPP, etc., are for PS2 import only...) Oh well. Time for
more cleaning up, hopefully I can start HW by 8. |
| 10.13.01 10:19 PM (Saturday) |
These past few days have gone by really fast. Let me recap.
On Thursday we had 2-4-6, Calculus test was so-so (hopefully I got an A), and
everyone finished 20 or so minutes early so Nomura let us play games. It was
funny because Anna and I were playing the Tetris board game and you had to play
Tetris with these cutout blocks (it was based on the NES game) and it was really
stupid so we were laughing for the longest time. Then tutorial came, we had the
STUPIDEST class assembly which was previously unannounced, our class officers are
really crappy and wasted our time with a stupid assembly. I was planning on
studying for the AP US History test the next period, but I couldn't concentrate
in the auditorium. Oh well. I ended up getting a 61% on the American Revolution
test, just 1% lower than the class average. Yay! Lunch was spent with Aaron,
Gabino, David, and we met up with Peter and Ben at Wendy's, which I officially am
tired of. 6th period just discussion and more discussion. Afterschool I went to
David's house but I got bored so I went home.
Yesterday was Arcade Team practice (no school, in-service day). Peter picked me
and Aaron up and we arrived late 15 mintues. Gameworks was pretty fun I guess, I
played a few rounds of DDR and a few fighting games but that was it. I was going
to play Mr. Driller but there were lots of people on the machine! Usually that
game isn't so popular... oh well. Red Robin afterwards, followed by a trip to the
Curiosity Store down at the waterfront... oh yeah caught the 5-cent
X-rated-in-1920's peep show and was like "Oh baby" at each slide. Went to Aaron's
house afterwards, to Peter's house, to Eric Jensen's house, then I caught a ride
home with David E.
Today I called up Khaliun and asked if she wanted to see Zoolander, and she said
okay. Went to Chinatown by bus (missed the 42 so I had to catch the 7, I was
really pissed off about that) and arrived 2 minutes late, but she was around 10
minutes late so no problem there (she picked me up so we could go North). Michele
and Aaron P. were meeting us up at Oak Tree so we could catch the 4:45 but
Michele gave Aaron wrong directions so they would arrive kinda late. Went into
Larry's Market to buy some drinks, then went in again to buy some chips to sneak
into the movie. But Aaron and Michele got there 15 minutes late so we decided to
catch the 7:30. We spent our time at a Thai restuarant somewhere up North, and I
got a $10 dish of seafood that wasn't really very good... Khaliun was talking to
David S. @ Princeton the entire time, yeah. So we got the movie 20 minutes early
and waited. Zoolander was pretty funny, glad I finally saw it. Khaliun had to
leave 15 minutes before the movie ended so Aaron gave me a ride home. Got lost as
usual... ended up taking MLK exit, to the 7-11 near Renton, to local to my
house.
I hope that concludes my weekend adventure (probably going out again tomorrow though...) |
| 10.10.01 10:22 PM (Wednesday) |
| Today was easy. 1st period worksheets galore,
Statistics a ton of homework and a project, the first part of lunch was spent at
Stever's collecting pictures while the second half was spent in Key Club.
Afterschool had an eye appointment, I wouldn't let them dilate my eyes because I
had to study... two big tests tomorrow, I am worried! |
| 10.10.01 2:33 AM (Wednesday) |
| No Study Q's tonight, not much due tomorrow, but I
have to do lots of HW for a really hard day Thursday (AP Calc Test, AP US History
Test, AP LA due date.) Let's see... nothing interesting went on today except at
lunch, second NHS meeting, and then Peter's birthday in Stever. In LA Ms. Strentz
had to go visit her grandmother so we had Mr. Miranda moderate our discussion...
I didn't really finish reading "The Crucible" so it was kinda hard to say
anything intelligent during the discussion... |
| 10.9.01 3:10 AM (Tuesday) |
| It's 3:10 AM, and I'm doing homework... lots of it.
Unit 2 Study Q's for AP US are my main concern, but I also have to read the
Crucible for AP LA, I have Calc and Stats HW as well. Right now I am talking to
Alice who I haven't talked to in a month or longer... and we're ranting and
discussing AP US History. Oh yeah I got my essay back in that class, a 45/100! Oh
well, my grade only dropped like 6 percent. Back to work. |
| 10.7.01 9:37 PM (Sunday) |
| Hmm I haven't updated in a while. The entire week was
spirit week but I didn't participate, on Thursday it was 70's/80's day and there
was a dance section in the 2nd Floor Hallway, which got really musty. Friday we
had all six periods in the morning so we could have the Homecoming assembly in
the afternoon. I didn't go because of an appointment, and I didn't go to the game
either because I couldn't secure a ride, and I didn't go to the dance either
because no one I knew was going. So much for school spirit. |
| 10.4.01 12:59 AM (Thursday) |
| Today (yesterday) was pretty bad. Yet another oral
quiz in Japanese, on te-form verbs plus imasu/iru, I got a 9/10, which was kinda
bad. Then we played Survivor during tutorial and I was the first one to get
booted off. AP Stats, really boring, almost fell asleep. Lunch, forgot my dues
for Key Club, was going to register for PSATs but it was too late. Oh well, at
least TAing wasn't so bad. We finished pretty early so David, Lynn and I wandered
at the Book Fair and outside GHS, it was goofy. |
| 10.2.01 1:30 AM (Tuesday) |
Not much went on today (yesterday.) New seats in AP
Stats. Lunch at Ezell's with Shu Ming. I got an A on my Einstein's Dreams essay
for AP LA, I was pretty happy. The end.
