May!

It has been a month and an update is long overdue. It’s weird thinking about how I used to blog so much and now all of a sudden I’ve just stopped. It has almost been 2 years since I’ve had this blog!

AP tests are over and that is a big relief! Calculus AB was by far the easiest test I’ve taken. I’m not quite sure about the others, I think I just did average on those, except for biology, which was probably slightly below average. I have got to admit that it was pretty impressive when my bs about viruses and the central dogma of biology turned out to be right! Anyway, I’m hoping for some positive responses in July. :D

So recently I tried downloading the CS4 Master Collection again, and it turned out to be epic fail! I kept getting, “Session has dependencies that cannot be satisfied,” when I tried to start the setup. Then I remembered that when I got my CS3 Photoshop, I had to delete my Photoshop 7, so I deleted my CS3 hoping that it would work. BUT IT DID NOT WORK WHATSOEVER! Then I just thought I could live with just CS3 and I can download Illustrator separately later, so I got the setup for my CS3 and that didn’t even work! So now I’m CS4-less and CS3-less. It’s so sad for me to not have my Photoshop. But Chase is saving my life. :)

I’m also really mad about the debates we’re doing in APUSH. I’m just frustrated that I got a crap of a partner that cannot formulate her own thoughts and let alone the rebuttals! I think I should have gotten the chance to pick who I wanted to work with. Stupid AP bio test screwed me over. If we are keeping these same partners for the next debate, I swear that I am going to go insane because I hate doing so much work.

I really don’t see a reason in pushing things back nor do I find it necessary to see how far a person would bend until they break, figuratively. I think if you chose to do what you do, you should be able to manage your time, if you can’t, you shouldn’t be doing what you’re doing then. Grow up; you’re not always going to have people bending to your requests. Get used to staying up late every once in a while, it’s not the end of the world if you’re tired the next morning.

It really bothers me nowadays when people are doing things the very last minute seeing how we haven’t been having any homework in our AP classes except for APUSH. No excuses. I don’t give a crap if you have other stuff because you’re not obligated to do those things in the first place.

I’m quite disturbed by some things that I found out. She’s way too desperate and blind and he’s an unfaithful jerk. At the same time, I don’t feel bad that she’s putting herself in a bad situation because she should be learning from other people’s mistakes and she should know that people don’t change. If she can’t learn from people’s mistakes, then I hope she learns from her own after screwing up. I sound mean, but I’m pretty sure that what used to be a “close” friend would not do that to one another, and that makes the consequences well-deserved.

Things would be better off if certain people would get a life and get out of mine. Honestly, I was hoping to never see that person again, but apparently I’ll be seeing them plenty next year. If he happens to butt into my business, I very well will give him a hard time, no joke. If they give crap, I will openly disagree with their methods because as of what I’m hearing, I will hate them to the moon and back.

And that concludes an update from my last post til now, with some missing things in between.

On a side note, I hope Kris Allen wins American Idol. Adam Lambert was good but his voice gets on my last nerves now. It’s just simultaneous shrieking that I wish would stop.

Life Update

I don’t know what to tell you except for the fact that life is going so well right now or at least better than it has. First off, I’d like to say that I’m so happy with my 8/10 on the biology essay and my 30/42 for multiple choice. I hadn’t done so well on the previous 2 tests so I’m just really happy with that right now; that’s like a B/C without the curve already! :D Then I got a B on my history test, so that should bring my grade up! All these things are just making me so happy.

But today I was pretty pissed off during math because of the two idiots that sit in front of me, I swear. I’m just so pissed off at the fact that I spent 3 hours on a math assignment to understand it and get a 10 while they don’t even understand it and still deserve a 10 by means of cheating. UGH. And duh I went to complain to the teacher.

But no, this weekend was pretty nice with the exception to the bad getting 2nd place in BOA and the first bus leaving us and not coming back until after the finals. I was so disappointed that the be we lost to was literally less than half our size, it’s absolutely ridiculous. But I don’t think we did that bad actually. Anyway, yeah I wasn’t happy about that. I’ll remember Saturday for a very long time though. :) Oh and the Blue Man Group was absolutely amazing! I loved it so much, probably one of the best parts about Vegas.

I really began to think about some things that have been going on. I’m starting to doubt how some people feel, but at the same time I’m so sure about their feelings. Truly I believe that there’s a difference from the past to now and it’s a good thing; it’s what I wanted. I still think that I’m doing something completely wrong, but I’m kind of dealing with it and I think I got the closure and acceptance that I’ve wanted the most even though it doesn’t feel as genuine as I wanted it to be. I’m on such an emotional rollercoaster right now and I’m not sure how to feel because it’s kind of overwhelming. I’m not sure where I stand and I kind of still wonder about what would have happened if a different course of action was taken. But I’m starting to give up on that because I’ve realized that I don’t have enough time to think about that.

Okay I’m just rambling. I just want things to end right and well in the end.

But I really think that after a week or so, some people will walk back on their words and just lose it; it’s not the first time. Let’s put this hypothesis to test.

I realized that I’ve grown pretty far apart from a lot of people and I’m okay with that because at the same time I’m getting pretty close to the people in my class and those are the people that I’ll be seeing all the time next year. It kind of sucks how things are so different, but I think things right now are perfectly fine, I mean I’m really actually okay with it all and I don’t feel the need to turn back time and change things. People just aren’t who I think they are and I’m just not the same and I’m honestly fine with that.

Schedule!

0. Marching Band (Franco)
1. AP US History (Schaefer)
2. German III (Platt)
3. AP Eng Lan/Com (Hefner)
4. AP Calc AB (Kikunaga)
Lunch/Peer Tutoring (Kearns)
5. AP Biology (Fox)

Pretty excited about this upcoming year. But I’m so bummed that there’s so little of summer left! I want so much for it to last longer; mostly because I want more time to do my assignments. UGHUGH!

Side note: “The Glass Passenger” leaked. I’m very consumed in it right now. I need lyrics for the songs.

9-9 band practice tomorrow! OH NOEZ! Speaking of band, Adrian played a dirty trick on me Friday. I honestly believed him for a second and then I realized he was lying. It was such a forehead-slapper. I still can’t believed he played that trick on me. >:|

Okay, done with this. Making another cryptic post in a minute, I think.

Update! :)

Cheers to another update! I’ve been too lazy to write blogs for everyday. So here’s life: eat, band, sleep, eat, Olympics, sleep. Maybe a few more ‘eat’ here and there, but you get the idea. Band is moving very fast, we’re already plotting and we have about 18 sets of the first movement done! Very tiring, but I’m just honestly happy that we’re at least moving somewhere. I have a ridiculous tan, it’s disgusting. The sunblock I’m using for my face apparently sucks because I’m having a bad issue of breakouts. Probably has to do with eating out so much too, but honestly, it’s bad.

I’ve been watching the Olympics every night too; beach volleyball, swimming, and gymnastics. Well I don’t know much about those events at all, but they’re all amazing to watching. I think I’ll list my favorites:

Beach volleyball: May-Treanor, Walsh, Dalhausser, Rogers
Swim: Phelps, Coughlin
Gymnastics: Johnson, Liukin

Yeah, okay. I honestly have nothing more interesting to write about.

I have no title. :(

My blog is finally calming down; thank you! I’m happy that I’m no longer getting 100+ hits a day. Now I feel better blogging. Okay, so I don’t know where to start.

I finished reading Breaking Dawn. Not my favorite, at all. There’s so many things that I kept picking on that really bothered me, especially the biology stuff. Ugh, I hate these “miracles” that keep happening in the books, they’re so annoying. It’s not a good plot if you keep having exceptions to everything just to get what you want! The first seven chapters was honestly just horrid to read. I enjoyed reading Jacob’s part more than anything in that book and I wasn’t a big fan of Jacob. Seriously, a baby? No. Edward calling Jacob his son? NO! That just ruined Edward Cullen for me, it did. No epic battle? Fail. Love shield? Lily Potter did it better. Calling all this negativity the “Rob effect”? FAILFAILFAIL. I’m not going to love this book like how I love Rob. Just saying.

Band practices started! So far, I’m liking it more than any other year. The weather isn’t that extreme yet either, so it’s pretty bearable even though I still do sweat so much. I’m liking this whole thing about getting the band more involved by playing all these section vs section games for points. It’s really bringing out the best in everybody and if you disagree, then I don’t care. We’re doing drill downs every too, which I love doing so much. But I’m slightly bummed that I haven’t actually been winning even though I make it to be one of the last ones standing almost every time. But I do have some complaints. Mostly about people and how my legs are so sore!

As for everything else in my life, there’s no such thing. I haven’t started my summer assignments nor have I been doing any other things whatsoever. I’m still pretty into using LJ at the moment, but not for blogging. Just to keep track of resources (mostly textures, I seem to love those) and to post my icons. The other day I posted 132 icons. :/ I’ve been working on my cropping in Photoshop! I’m actually pleased with some of the results I’ve been getting, though sometimes I would look back at it and think that I should have done it another way. Maybe that’s why I tend to make about 3 variations of an icon because I can’t decide which cropping is better. I did 6 for a Rachelle Lefevre one. Look:

graphics community: emptyserenade

That just made me realize how much I prefer having the picture sided on the right, hah! And I haven’t been doing anything too fancy with icons either. I just do very simple colorings and then I use a black & white ‘grungy/cloudy’ texture and then set it on screen. Seriously, I’m going through this “i love b&w texture” phase.

Jack’s Mannequin came out with an EP! I’m liking the new stuff so far. It’s different, but lovely. The sound is really attractive. I’m honestly very excited for the Glass Passenger to come out September 30th. :)

Band Banquet 2007-08!

The banquet today was actually very amazing to say the least. Belle, Yolanta, and I hung pine cones on “our tree” again. It’s just something we find amusing. Then we did this scavenger hunt thing with the people that were there and it was amazingly fun! Most people had handicapped and since I had just joined after they assigned handicaps, I was just helping. Like I carried Travis for a while and then guided Albert. Then lastly I guided Josh around. Then it was time for dodgeball! It was so stupid though because I stood around with Kimberly and Yolanta in the same spot for the longest time ever. Derek tried to get me out, but I caught the ball, then Josh completely caught me off guard, so lame! Then we ate and it was time for awards!

Afterwards some people started playing this tag-like game. Honestly I liked it up until Raymond got up in my face about how Melissa and I played it wrong, which we did. But honestly, I don’t understand how I was supposed to know if it wasn’t specifically clear. It just gets me so mad.

Overall, I liked today for the most part.

it has been cold.

The past few days since Friday has been pretty cold. On Friday it was raining and I loved it! It wasn’t lame sprinkles, it was actually what I define as rain since I could see it from inside the classroom without my glasses on. :) So I loved that. Then on the same day I went and saw Enchanted again with Raymond! I seriously love that movie so much, it’s my favorite!

Then Saturday, yesterday, was a really cold day. We were at a band tournament that was basically like BOA, but not as amazing. Anyway, it was cold and I had on my sweater and track jacket and I still managed to get kind of sick. :[ While we were watching the finalist bands before us perform, I gave Josh my track jacket since I felt bad that he only had a tshirt on, and people kept stuffing him with trash when he had his arms in his shirt. So popcorn kept falling out of him. HAHAH Yesterday was pretty entertaining for the most part. :D

Now today is going to be a day spent writing my story for English and outlining and studying for the map quiz for tomorrow. Interesting day it shall be.

i liked today. :)

Almost the whole day was spent with Raymond, which I liked so very much.<3 We were at his house first and then we went to eat lunch, Korean BBQ. :) We ended up going to this dessert place and got this like super big bowl of strawberry shaved ice and it was gigantic, but it was pretty darn tasty! Then we went to cue, which was fun. HAHA. The butt picture. XD When we were done with that, he went back home to get his band stuff and then we headed off to band.

The tournament was pretty bleh, just like any other. It was so sad seeing all the seniors up there for the awards. :[ It makes me really sad sometimes because it’s like… I’m probably never going to see them again, you know? And I actually know the seniors this year so it’s just ridiculously sad.

Well anyway, tomorrow I’ll be working on the DNA project with Yolanta. So there goes another afternoon.
