Ugh. bad start of summer

Okay, so I looked forward to biking at the beach since like... March! And I can't go unless there is an adult there. What I'm really upset about is that I am not trusted to be on my own. I understand that my dad is protective and he wants me to be okay. But I can't be watched over for the rest of my life! When he asked me who is going, I knew what his reply was for any answer I was going to give him. If I told him friends from school, he's going to ask for names. If I mention a few names he doesnt know, he'd be like "Why dont I know them?" Why? Because you dont go to school with me and you dont know who I know! But he should know that I dont make friends with gangster, stupid, drug people. He should know because he's met a few of my friends. If I mention one guy name or anything, he would make a big deal out of it. Look. I want him to understand that I go to school with BOTH guys AND girls! Does he expect me to just TALK to girls and ONLY make friends with girls? That is ridiculous!

I was looking forward to a great summer. After all my studying, going crazy for classes trying to keep my grades up FOR my parents, I wanted to relax and have a good summer. But I can already predict that's not going to happen. Maybe two more years when I'm in college.

;__;

:( I miss my teachers already. So today was the final for period 3 and 4 which is APUSH and Math analysis. For US History we didn't have to do a final. We just finished our hall of fame presentation and had a party. FOr math we finished up our final (3rd day) and had a party. So in all, I had parties in both classes. For Garcia's (USH) I had hawaiian punch, an eggroll, this mexican nacho+chicken thing (good, but spicy), a brownie, and something else. I was pretty much full. "Ugh, next class... another party." I groaned. In the next class, Bernadette brought a whole bag of cookies so I had about four or five. I am a cookie monster.

There were some tears going on. So last night I stayed up to make Garcia a scrapbook of our class. Originally I asked everyone to chip in so we can get him a gift but everyone "forgot" so I just made a scrapbook. I made a "bootleg" scrapbook. The pictures I printed our were on white paper and the quality of the pictures weren't perfect, but good enough. While we ate and watch a movie, he paused the movie to give us a speech. I dont rmemeber the exact words but it was something like... out of the 20 years hes taught here, we're one of the best classes. We've touched his heart and hopefully hes touched ours. His wife and kids are always asking why he does so much for us (treating us and so much more) and he says it's because we made him feel like he's doing his job. He doesnt treat his other class this way because they dont respect him. He doesnt feel like he's doing his job when he's with the other classes. But with us, we give him respect. He started to tear up and the speech went on. A few of us also teared up but it ended in laughter with Kennedy saying something like, "I'll be your service student!" If you know Kennedy, you know that will make anyone laugh.

I had my camera out before to show Lisa some pictures. But I turned it off when he said he wanted to tell the class something. RIGHT after the speech, Lisa asked if I recorded it. I didnt get to~!!! I didnt even think of it!! So at the end, we took pictures and ate more. So today is the last day I am a student in both those classes. Tomorrow will be Spanish and English and Friday will be Physics and Art. *Sigh*

Thank you, teachers. For teaching us, for being great. We might have suffered in the class, but we got something out of it (hopefully). T H A N K Y O U

I have some pictures uploaded but I wont be putting them up yet.

Rocket

Soooo, for physics we had to work on our rocket project. We started two weeks before the end of school. Our group was Lucy, Daniel, Christy, and me. At first I wanted to be with my other friends (refer to previous blog) but yeah. Then we (Lucy and me) thought, hey... we can do this ourselves. We might not be as quick (quick thinkers) as the others but we'll get this done ourselves and be proud that we got through it. We ended up falling behind... very. Daniel did calculations, I did drawings, Lucy did the rocket itself, and Christy helped here and there (and thank you so much for providing the posters and other supplies). So Friday came and we were about two days behind. We planned to meet up at Christy's house at Saturday but there were change of plans. So we were going to go for Sunday. The thing is... we werent able to contact Christy or Daniel. Lucy and I started to panic and say "we're failing...." but then I see Christy online and we talked. She said she'll ask her friend to come over and help her since he lived really close. I wanted to work on the poster but she had the poster (wth the poster is $10!) so we decided in the morning she'll come to our first period and give me the poster and we'll paste it on. Fortunately, the poster presentation isnt due until tomorrow so I brought it home to work on it. Now, while we were on the football field (where we'll launch the rocket), Lucy, Daniel, and I waited for Christy to come. Lucy and I stood there panicking hoping she's here. When she came, she took the rocket out of her bag and one of the fins was broken in half (the other half was still glued on the rocket). "OMG!!!" I said. Christy quickly took out her glue and we tried to glue it back together. The whole time we thought, "Man... last minute rocket with a glued fin... it's not going to fly." Because the teacher wants the rocket to fly as high as it can and come back down to the exact target (where we started).
So this is what happened. During launch, only two people could be at the target. One person from Sork's class and one from Cox's class. And for each class, only one person per group goes up to launch. SO when Lucy (the launcher) went up to the target to launch, Christy and I stood (really far back) and prayed, literally. I crossed my fingers and was hoping it would at least go up a little and not embarass us. Once Lucy set it off, the rocket shot up into the air and came back down really close to the target. We were so happy. Christy and I screamed and jumped and I had tears in my eyes.
I named the rocket "Whoosh" but after what happeend today, I changed the rocket's name to "Miracle" haha. So... I have a lto of stuff to do for finals and a lot of project. I just came onto blogger to blog about this. ^_^ yay~

Virus

I am extremely frustrated. To me, my laptop is like... my life. After a classmate help me download the microsoft package from the school computer and put it in my USB, my USB became infected. I've learned my lesson--never use USBs on a school computer. I actually didn't know it was infected. When I tried to open the file on my laptop, my laptop went crazy and shut off. I got so angry and started hitting it and slamming my fist on it angrily, shouting. But then, I thought it was my laptop. So I plugged the USb into my dad's laptop and ALMOST killed my dad's laptop too. That's when I knew for sure it was the stupid USB. Anyway...

So tomorrow is the binder check (1/3 of the final) for physics. For first semester, we had a lottttt of work in that binder. IT had to be extremely organized and all. After first semetser, she told us to take the work out and start putting second semester stuff in it. Guess what? I never touched it after the first semester. Instead of updating the binder with my work, I just stuffed my work in my backpack and once it gets really thick, I just keep it in my room. Yesterday, I was looking for my assignments to update for second semester binder. I have three bags to look through. Three shopping bags, filled with APEnglish, APHistory, and Physics work. Last year when Waverly took APEuro, she had an organized bigggg binder. I said, "Wow, I wish I had a folder that big with a lot of work kept inside." Guess what... my wish came true. (I want a filing cabinet) I'm going to combine both first and second semester work all in that binder. And find another binder to stick my AP US/English work in. When my brother reaches junior year, I will hand him those stack of papers and tell him to HAVE FUN :D haha.

So I was planning to cut my hair short (like the girl in my post picture). Ivy and I were talking about how we wanted it short but wasn't sure if we should get it. We had the same reason. She didnt want to because she thought her face is too round and the style wouldnt fit. I thought my face is too big and the short hair will make it worst. But the day after that, Ivy did get it cut and it came out really good and it made me want to cut it. But the thing is... once it reaches the medium length, I wont like it. I either like it short or long; not medium. But oh well.

Fieldtrip, finally

Wow, so I haven't blogged for a while.

First thing's first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY. Today rained! And it's June! I shouldn't get my hopes up, though. Tomorrow, I will be taking a fieldtrip to Japanese American Museum and it's the first fieldtrip out of three years.

So, I love to read the manga Detective Conan. I was planning on collecting it but when I first read it, i think volume 18 or 19 (or something) was already out and I dont have enough money. It's still ongoing. So I youtubed up the anime and then I see a fan that made a video of Oguri Shun with this song by Vanessa Hudgens and Corbin Bleu. Oguri was so hot there and I was thinking, "Hey, it matches Detective Conan a lot." So I watched a random episode of Conan and little did I know Oguri played Jimmy Kudo!!!! I screamed and watched and was so into it. Anyway, I don't want to make this too long, so I'm going to stop short.

*sigh* so in physics, our teacher gave us our finals which is a rocket project. We get to choose our own groups. There were two groups of five, two groups of four, and I think another group with three? The most is five and there were six of us (me and other friends). And when they planned on being in a group of five, they knew one of us couldnt be in the group. It didnt even take five seconds to decide that I was the one. All five of them are the only ones who have an A in that class are in calculus (except for one). I was pretty bummed out, even though I shouldn't be. Iono, I probably agree with Sourpie, "I think they're just discriminating you because you have a lower grade than them." Sigh, oh well.

So my cousin told me her brother (or to be sister in law) wanted me as the bridesmaid. I dont knwo what happened to choosing my other cousins. I didn't want to be the bridesmaid. But I guess I have to do it now. I have five months to lose a lot of weight. It won't be a bad thing, I guess. Since I've been looking for motivation to lose weight. This can be a start. So summer I will be working out like crazy and eating very less. Oh, speaking about not eating food, the teachers are doing a hunger strike and one of our teacher in the school has gone eight days without eating; only drinking water. Wow...
