   happy day before valentine's day!!

(or day before single's awareness day, according to aurus lol) on thursday, i had a half-day, had chinese food (tofu, broccoli, and rice! YUM ^_^), and hung out with tsuki and nicole. i actually got homework done, too (for once). friday i was at school from about 7:20 in the morning to about 9:20 at night. this is because we had an academic trathlon meet, which is when schools have friendly competitions with each other. while we were waiting for them to show up, we ventured onto the roof of our school (thank you, serenity and stef!) and that was pretty cool, although the construction workers on top or the roof were something to watch out for. serenity got a roof-rock out of it, and i got a grey, fuzzless tennis ball that serenity would throw, i would fetch, and other people would take from me. the mind sprints (activities that we do) are always fun. we started out with a written face-off (a bunch of random questions your group has to answer), and i was like, "you guys beat our school last time, so we're out for blood!!" and then we started joking around that we were from a nearby school, and that we were trying to sabotage the school we're from. (our group was serenity, ambi-chan, atsuko-san, t.j., and me. i almost got put on another team!) next sprint, we had to fill in the blanks: "if ___ had never been invented, how would we ___ today?" next we had to come up with words that rhymed with the #s 1-9, tossing a yam up in the air, and catching it with a pie pan. after that we had to "sculpt" out of paper, make no repeats, and come up with abnormal uses for objects that other teammates made. our instructor noticed that our group came up with a lot of... "violent" uses.... lol. our last mind sprint was the oral faceoff, where you hit buzzers and answer questions (kinda like jeopardy). i thought it was kind of funny that we got a question wrong, and i was like, "oh! the answer was malaysia!!" and the other school actually guessed that. the last thing was a p.a.r.t.y. in a box (don't ask me what that stands for). it's where your team gets forty minutes to come up with a skit (no more than five minutes!), costumes, and a backdrop. there's a certain objective to it, too. ours was to explain why wearing too many hats can be a bad thing. the moral? don't be something you're not. it was great! serenity was a girl who was trying to fit in, ambi was the sage of image, t.j. got to be the sage of partying, suko-san the sage of boyfriends, and i was the sage of drunkeness and drugs. go figure lol. our group came in second place out of six. some of the girls from the other school were nice, so we exchanged e-mail. straight after that was a school dance, so we just went down to that. a garbage bag with holes for the head and arms was part of my outfit. we were "dressed to kill!!" lol and i ended up wearing that garbage bag to the dance. i'm not the kind of person who gets embarrased easily, or cares what others think, for that matter. at the friday nite lives (that's what they call dances) you can go to the cafeteria and play games/get food if you don't want to dance. booger offered me and ambi a drink, and we were joking about it being spiked. it might as well have been, cause as soon as i drank the soda i had MUCH too much energy. we faced each other in knok-hockey and we kept slapping the crap outta the puck. it flew straight up in the air and we were laughing hysterically. poor ambi-chan could've gotten hit in the head with the puck (we kind of pictured that happening). it was established that booger was my bitch, which i kind of regret (see kids, this is why you don't accept drinks from a guy). will post again some other time. jenna the rabies girl is here, and i'm getting kicked off the comp. ja ne ^^
