first day of school today. oh what fun!

---

first period - advanced choir - crowell
not that bad. seems like it's going to be a fun class. i have esther, linden, and sammy in my class. tike's in my class too. like i said, it's going to be fun.
A

second period - physics 1-2 AP - fortgang
... and here's where hell begins to exert its fury upon my soul. i mean, the class started okay, then he asked who didn't receive the physics packet. that's when the shit hit the fan and accelerated in a downward arc in my general direction. so i guess i really shouldn't be online right now, considering i have a whole summer's worth of physics work to do. what fun.
D

third period - english 3-4 H (AS?) - pretto
this class was a nice break from the evils of fortgang. looks like it'll be okay, but i still need to finish reading 1984.
B

fourth period - US history 1-2 - bennett
aww, i love this class. cool people and cool teacher. he seems like a really nice old man, really understanding. extra points for managing to slip an erectile dysfunction joke into the class. and, you know, those jokes are the best.
A+

fifth period - spanish 5-6 - solis
yeah! i have solis agaaaain. i'm lucky. hehe. <3 solis. fun class, too.
A

sixth period - calculus 1-2 BC AP - peel
not my choice for the last class of the day, but about as good as math teachers get.
B

so i guess aside from the physics class from hell, this year will be okay. alright gotta get cracking on that god-forbidden packet.

mood: tired

what the hell am i doing up at 3:12 am? i have no idea. can't sleep, so i guess i'll update.

let's see. i'm not as sad as i was on friday the 13th. tracy gave me a new outlook on things. there's plenty of time for serious relationships in the future, but these years should be spent having fun. that doesn't mean i'm going to go run off and have sex with everyone i see, i'm just not going to be desperately searching for love anymore. sure, if love comes along, i'll embrace it, but i'm not going to peer down every nook and cranny looking for it.

i'm going to have fun fun fun until my daddy takes the t-bird away.

speaking of which, i need to enroll in a behind-the-wheel class. ciara suggested olympic. if anyone has any other suggestions, please inform me of them.



i got two new pairs of shoes. hurray for me!



registration was today. er, yesterday. technically. let's see. i didn't see anyone there because i went early, my school portrait was crap and i know it, and i forgot to get a nifty little agenda with my PAL sticker purchase.

got my schedule, though. no problems, so i didn't have to wait in that long line by the administration office. yay.

1 - advanced choir - crowell
2 - physics 1-2 AP - fortgang
3 - english 5-6 H - pretto
4 - US history 1-2 - bennett
5 - spanish 5-6 - solis
6 - calculus 1-2 BC AP - peel

i got all the classes i signed up for. except, i'm not a big fan of having calculus at the end of the day. my brain'll be fried by then. oh well, hopefully that'll give me time to do homework that i never do at home.

wait, do we even do homework in calculus? or is it one of those classes where homework isn't graded, but if you don't do it, you fail the tests? i am so not ready for college.

i'm glad i have solis again, though. i heard pretto was okay. don't know about fortgang, bennett, or peel yet. crowell will be an interesting class.

if you're one of the very few who read this and you have a class with me, please comment. i mean, i know i'll find out in less than a week whether or not you're in my class, but impatience seems to be infectious in the blogging world, and i'm just going with the flow.

mood: i really don't know ...

*** NEW RULE: for the lyrics game, you have to not only supply the replaced word, but also the name of the song and the artist. why? because i said so. that's why. ***

well. okay. i mean, you could call it a summer fling, i guess. but i know that if my love didn't live so far away -- and didn't have to fly even further at the end of the summer -- it would have worked out. i'm almost positive. it wouldn't have to end. but fate has to be a frigid bitch, so i guess i'll have to deal.

[sigh]

happy friday the 13th, for serious.

in other news, today i had my first soccer practice. we didn't even work that hard, but i was pooped by the end of the day. wanna know what i've been doing to prepare for the season? sitting on my ass and eating rocky road ice cream. yup.

oh, and for those of you who are curious, i posted pictures of my birthday and the COSMOS reunion and more dishes, but it's on the previous post. yeah.

speaking of pictures ... ladies and gentlemen, get your dimes ready. i have officially reached the ranks of ten-cent cam whore.

... yeah. that's the end.

once again, happy fucking friday the 13th.

mood: sleepy

alright, this weekend i took lots of pictures, but my laptop still hasn't been fixed so you'll have to wait. they aren't that great, though, so don't get your hopes up.

saturday, i went to great america with a bunch of people from COSMOS (science camp, for those of you who don't know). when i got there, christina and james were waiting in the parking lot. we waited around a little until saurabh came, and then jana, grantland, and claire came afterwards. justin was supposed to come too, but no one had kept in touch with him and we weren't really sure whether or not he was actually coming, so we waited about fifteen minutes and then decided he wasn't coming. we went to the park, where we met andrew and his friend.

we went on top gun first (can you believe they removed stealth?!) and then we went on that water ride with the big donut-like boat. along the way, we lost andrew and his friend, but we proceeded to go to the log ride because we weren't wet enough. claire and i got wetter than anyone else because we were splashing water at each other during the ascent to the top (we got in trouble for it and the guy thought i was "flirting" ...). then we had lunch. i had a nutritious meal of soft-serve ice cream and a large soda, and almost threw up. we decided to go on grizzly where i nearly purged my lunch because the ride was so damn jittery. then we sat down and played ten fingers until it was time to go. saurabh stayed at great america to meet other friends, andrew and his friend were gone, and the rest of us were off to jana's house.

we all sqeezed into jana's truck, but claire and i had to sit in the trunk. claire kept farting and the ventilation sucked, so i nearly died of asphyxiation. we stopped by albertson's to pick up some groceries for the night, and had some starbucks too. we got to jana's house and watched movies and ate chips. jana's sister got mad at me because i got the round remote with the buttons instead of the round remote with the buttons. we watched office space (which james got me for my birthday), aladdin, and original sin (the unrated version ... o@;). the latter had lots of the naughty in it. we also made brownies (we had to teach jana how to work her oven), but we didn't have oil so we melted butter. they turned out yummy anyway. we were also supposed to make macaroni and cheese, but we didn't feel like it.

the rest of the night was spent playing more ten fingers and trying to go to sleep. claire and i kept fooling around because we couldn't go to sleep (which pissed off christina and james who were cuddling in their sleeping bag). we were wrestling and throwing condoms at james and christina. finally, at around four o'clock and after the madd freestyle battle, i fell asleep.

james woke me up and said i was snoring hella loud, and i got mad that he woke me up so i pretended to sleep but snored even louder. james, christina, and grantland thought i was sleeping and they decided to mess with me, but they didn't have a sharpie (thank god!) so they poured water on my head and put ice on me. i ended up on my back and they put ice on my back, and i made orgasm noises and pretended i was having a wet dream. they continued to drip water and put ice on me, and i was planning to get them when they were asleep by putting mousse all over their faces. they finally decided to stop, but i wouldn't let them sleep because i was fake snoring so loudly. i got so tired, though, and i decided that i was going to wake up early and do my little mousse plan.

however, i couldn't wake up early enough. it turns out james and christina never went to sleep, and it wouldn't be fun to just put mousse on grantland's face, so i was kinda disappointed. i told them all about it, and they felt hella stupid afterwards, so i guess it wasn't all bad. when we all woke up, we made the macaroni and cheese and ate ben and jerry's ice cream while the macaroni was cooking. by the time we finished our wholesome breakfast (which required a while stick of butter to make), it was time for us to leave. so we said our farewells and that's the end of the big COSMOS reunion.

hm. i just reread all of that, and i don't think it makes sense unless you were there. oh well.

EDIT: 08.13.04

i saw this shirt while i was shopping for back-to-school clothes and i thought "uh oh, element 94 has some competition!"

saurubh.


grantland and horrible lighting.

jana and claire just couldn't resist.

mood: sixteen

hehe. i just realized. i haven't given you guys clues for the last two entries. whoopsies!

well, i turned sixteen yesterday! i didn't have a party, though. waiting for ciara to come back from hawaii.

let's see ... i got a nifty-ass digital camera (if you couldn't tell from my last two entries), new clothes, and moneys. overall, it's nice.

i took pictures over the past couple of days, but i'm way too lazy to go through the whole process of transferring the pictures onto my phone one by one and then sending them to the computer. if and when my laptop gets fixed, i won't have to do that, but until then i'll leave the pictures on my camera.

yesterday i was kinda upset over something stupid, but thanks to my friend christina (thanks babe!) things got cleared up. then night ended with a nice phone conversation with mi amor.

mood: shutter happy

hehe. well i've taken more pictures. except, my control-freak stepdad doesn't want me to install the necessary drivers for me to transfer the pictures from my camera to the computer, so i have to transfer the pictures one by one onto my phone and then go from the phone to the computer. then i have to upload the pictures onto the internet and then link them all to here. it's a damn hassle, but i'll put up with it just for you faithful readers.

alright, the first batch of pictures was taken yesterday.

i started off the day (yesterday) with piano lessons. look at my piece. it's hard. my forearm gets sore around the third page.


the third and fourth pages of doom. < / 3


my brother and sister playing with microsoft paint.


i made ramen for lunch. i needed to use two pots. my brother and sister prefer chicken ramen, and i like beef ramen with egg.


when dealing with bowls that don't stack, washing dishes isn't a chore so much as it is a balancing act.


my brother and sister at the bus stop. we're all headed off to my grandma's house so that i can drop them off and i can go to the library.


i saw this when i was walking from my grandma's house to the library and i thought it was pretty. it's a spider web under a sprinkler.


omfg. where is the period after the "L" in "F.M.L."?? HUH?!
< / 3 friends of the millbrae library.


yay. i met up with sonia afterwards. she thinks i have a thing for sticking my tongue out in pictures. pshaw. yeah right.


this is sonia's attempt at taking a picture of us. cough.


look at sonia's model figure eating carbolyte ice cream.


and here's my ugly face eating pineapple coconut.


sonia at quiznos. she so pritty.


omg. as sexy as my tongue is, sonia's radiance overpowers it. ;_;


here we are at walgreens. sonia is promoting a toenail cream thing.


i'm back home. that's my sister eating go-gurt.


and her playing "london bridge" on the piano.


"take a picture of me!" "okay ..."


alright, i was going to upload all the previous pictures yesterday, but my camera ran out of batteries. i went out and bought some batteries this morning. they're not cheap.


as i walked from walgreens, i passed by trader joe's ...


... oh hell no. they did NOT just spell it "bussiness" ... [implode]


inspired my sonia's style of picture taking, i decided to take some self-portraits on the bus.


groovy.


okay here's a normal one.


here's a view of my street as i was walking from the bus stop to my house.


no way! john kerry sent my mom a letter ... wth?


guess who passed driver's ed and got their certificate in the mail ...


... me!


here's the summer listening i finished today.


and here's the summer listening i have yet to finish. i couldn't find cat's cradle on tape. ;_;


here's me listening to the captivating huckleberry finn. [yawn]


i got addicted to taking pictures of myself.
