So. My sister and I had an interesting conversation about friends. Turns out, maybe, my friends aren't as great as I thought.
I wasn't really good at judging character anyway.

random scratch marks on my right arm and leg from the pool yesterday. I don't think we were that rowdy with five people...

oh shiiiit I effin signed up for a quiet clean roommate sjdlfkjsdkf and I'm in some theme hall that's called "wilderness" efff I shouldn't have picked a theme house or, at least, the wilderness one gaaah I should have just picked the "well-being" theme that sounds like fun. damn, I hope I don't get a bunch of hippies. I saw I'm in some "Gladiator House" (5-6th floors in Tioga) which has NO WIRELESS INTERNET FML I should have picked well-being so I could be in Tenaya with wireless internet. Fuck.

I like Motivational quotes of the day	[Aug. 13th, 2009\|11:27 pm]
It's been a long time. I'm basically trying to make this summer worthwhile with friends. Trying to be patient with parents and trying to avoid them. Hanging out with sisters when I can. I used to run often in July but now it's been sort of decreasing since I've been making morning plans with people and I'm getting lazy. I sort of lost motivation. Barely finding new music to listen to but Aaron has surprisingly introduced me to some artists. The weather isn't as hot as previous years, it's actually nice. My iGoogle is cool. "Part of being a hero is knowing when you don't need to be one anymore." -Alan Moore Oh yeah, I laid on the back of my mother's car at mid night on the 11th/12th watching the meteor shower like last year. I saw 8 of them which was more than last year. Pretty cool. Seemed like a lot of people watched the meteor shower this year.

Tennis feels like eating. Just hitting that sweet spot is what we're all trying to find.
Beautiful feeling.

The Postal Service- We Will Become Silhouttes

]

- Wash clothes
- Do econ multiple choice test and look over free response tests
- Read Joyce and try to understand Stephen's philosophy on art and write the 40 minute essay
- Finish Chemistry study guide
- Do the study guide for Whyte
- Try to finish Joyce by Tuesday

Damn, I feel so lazy. I think I have senoritis since I'm so lazy now a days.
Father got laid off on Thursday but all I see him doing now a days is work on the cars, watch tv, walk idling around the house asking what I'm doing or what Julie is doing since she came home for the weekend.
Oh, Julie dropped her Dell laptop from her bunk bed! The screen is messed up and we tried hooking it up to the monitor but it didn't work, hmm. She said it worked when they hooked it up to a tv. Well anyway, she took back her Vaio and I'm left with the desktop. It doesn't feel like it's going to die as soon as it felt like during the summer. Maybe because I'm used to it's slowness. Oh well, now I can listen to music.
Zune is stuck on lock, going to buy the 120gb iPod classic at Costco for $240 after I get money for Chinese New Year and get back my yearbook money since I paid for it myself. I've been spending money like there's no tomorrow! Gah, idiot.

Thursday night, I had a dream that coins were kinda of like, flying from different dimensions. Julie and I would throw pennies and they come back as quarters! Coincidentally, some people were playing poker/texas hold 'em in Rhinehart's room with coins! I was like, is this meant to be?!
I tried play cards with them at lunch with change I borrowed from other people but I kept losing...It sucks how I'm a bad gambler! Oh well, maybe Vegas will be more fun bwahaha

Jeanie is turning 21 in July! Yee
She said she wanted to go to Vegas with her friends if mother permits. I doubt she could go but if she could I want to go too even though all I could do is just shop.
Bleeeh, I should be getting on with my day now.

I just came back from doing community service at Vista Elementary school with Team Green. I'm tired. It was more fun this time though. Time passed by so fast.

Huh, Julia made an account. I wonder if she'll see this haha

Favorite poems of 2008

"Journey of a Magi" -T.S Eliot

"The Hollow Men" - T.S Eliot
“The Lake Isle of Innisfree” - William B. Yeats

At the end we preferred to travel all night,
Sleeping in snatches,
With the voices singing in our ears, saying
That this was all folly. "Journey of a Magi"

Before I was in conflict for a while, but I decided not to go to the Upward Bound Winter Reunion.
I don't like most of the people in Upward Bound. It's boring. I went last year. I don't really talk to anyone there. I rarely talk to the seniors that I met at Upward Bound (even when I do it's just online).

Not much of a reason to go. I don't like their food. My sisters are coming home Friday, we can do some stuff on Saturday.

I should be studying for my english test tomorrow which what I call studying is rereading Sparknotes but it isn't even loading right now! Suckinesss...I might just wing it tomorrow I guess.

Chemistry test on Wednesday. I hope I get at least a B to keep my A. I know I need to study for that.
Calculus test last Friday, I wish I got a perfect. I got a 5.5 out of 6 =/
Calculus test this Friday on anti-derivatives. I need to practice the trig ones.

I wish this was my last week but I still have one more week. Sigh...

Sparknotes is still not loading. I Guess I'll just skim the book.

Black Friday

Woke up at 5am, father said to go back to sleep.
Woke up at 6am with Jeanie, ate, went to Target, Circuit City, and the mall.

Father bought a Sony plasma tv for HIMSELF!!
I bought Sony headphones with a gift card at Sears but I should have just gave that money to mother to buy the box converter thing and have mother give me $30 (that much was on the gift card) and then buy WeSC headphones at Pacsun when everything in the store was 30% off. The $60 WeSC headphones they had would have been about $42 but they are GOOD LOOKIN'
but now I just have the Sony headphones.. sigh...the bass isn't even that load.

I also bought an iPod case at Sears (for my future classic iPod LOL. zune is slowly dying), a vest from GAP, jacket from Norstrom, scarf from H&M. I previously bought a coat at Wet Seal, yes Wet Seal. It was cheap LOL and it felt alright.

Too many people I saw from school at the mall. They all seemed busy.

I wanted to finish my 1984 five page essay yesterday night but it was a failure.
Sisters decided to stay home for another day and go back tomorrow.
We're supposed to go out to eat soon with our grandmother at Rosemead, but no one else seems to be awake except for me and father.

Thanksgiving

Home with sisters. Parents are home. I still didn't finish any of my essays. I haven't finished A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. I'm reading it on Sparknotes.
Jeanie scolded me for planning on playing tennis at private colleges and not UCs. I think I would have to play tennis a lot more in UCs and I get tired of tennis sometimes. I like it and all but sometimes it just feels like this job I dislike.

I talked with Julie today, she said I was pretty harsh on my friend on Facebook. I agreed. I just should have acknowledged the fact that she at least remembered and she acknowledged that and apologized. Damn I'm mean...I texted her last night to apologize again.

Tomorrow's black Friday. I'm thinking of buying a new music player, an iPod. Even though they're overrated, they're all together good. They worked out their kinks, last a long time. They don't delete the music even though they can't find the file on the computer, unlike Zune. They last a long time, unlike Zune. It is thinner, unlike the old Zune. The 160gb(120?) is cheaper, unlike the Zune. I guess I'm buying the 180gb for $240. Good deal. I just need better earphones now...I want the freakin Wesc ones! They're so cool looking and feel comfy. The cheapest ones I saw were the $50 at Pacsun and Urban Outfitters.

Jbran is running out of money.
On Sunday, I suggested that maybe we should just go shopping together for each other's present because we don't even know what to get each other.
But then I decided maybe it's better with the surprise, so I called him on Monday to say that but he said I didn't have to get him anything, he didn't want anything. Later he said that he's running out of money. He's been going out with the girls a lot and movies. Go figure.
So yeah. After we just decided to go shopping after Christmas when there's a bunch of sales lol.
I'm thinking of maybe just saying no for Christmas presents this year haha
Tina and her sister made me a birthday cake so maybe I should get them something? I'm thinking of maybe just baking something but then that would I mean I have to bake for other people as well!
What a hassle...

I think this Christmas will be mutual, hopefully.

So bored. I still need to finish my Common Applications...ugh...I should submit the application for CMC, or did I already?
I decided to play tennis in college, well if I get into a private college I plan to play haha
I still need Nafis to reply to my email to see which phone number I should put =/

I should be reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. It's confusing and boring to read. I think he was bullied when he was a child?

I feel a bit stressed out because I still have to do a five page essay for each book. I only finished my introduction for 1984, I think I might modify my thesis a bit more.
Sisters are coming home today, I won't have time to read or do my essay haha
Damn...I guess I betta start hitting the books.
I still need to study for economics as well. I want an A in the class, not a B. lksdjfkldsjf
Pissed....

So bored...once father leaves I'll see if there's any movies to watch.

The Coral Sea- Ancient Modern People

People told me about myself:
1. pretty sarcastic online
2. mean
3. make them sad
4. have a funny face
5. tell lame stories
6. too good for them (in tennis)
7. emo

damn, #1-3, and 6 are disappointing. I don't want to be a sarcastic person.

So yeah, I went to CIF yesterday.
I made it to third round :)

The first girl I played had a really hard serve, but that was just the first set, that she won. After the first set she was really frustrated and so her first serves weren't going in and I won the second set and the 10 point tie breaker :D
She was mean. We had center court too. So embarrassing...

Second girl was nice. Turns out she was first round player. She had to forfeit her first round so I played her as my second round :0
I was wondering why she was so average, like me.

Third girl was nice and very good. Her serves weren't as hard as the first girl but they were hard enough. Her baseline shots were very nice. Very cornered and baseline-y. She could soo aim.

Overall, nice day. Nice people :)
Oh and Ms. Nafis took us out to eat Mix Bowl :D

So this is it.
Today I'm going to CIF at 2pm. I'm going to school at 1:15pm to warm up with Nafis and Tessie.
Jbran said he's going to come and I think Amber and Ali are going to come too.
I've been feeling tired.

I failed at my life so far.
I got a 67% on my stats test because I couldn't follow simple directions.
I guess I would suck at being a Nazi.
I basically failed my calculus test, 4/10.
I did the mean value theorem when it was just the simple absolute extrema D:
I got a B on my econ test.
If I hadn't changed two of my answers, then I could have gotten an A on the test and in class.

I feel as if I failed at life already.
sigh,damn I suck.
but I guess this means I'm just average after all.
