Hiya guys! I'm so sorry I haven't been around lately! I said that I wouldn't be on for two weeks, but I guess I extended it to three. My bad!
Now, why did I leave? Well, my sister broke the left mousepad key on my laptop, so I had to ship it off to Dell. The entire fixing and returning process should've taken a week, but it somehow got extended to two weeks.
When it came back, it was covered in coal dust and sawdust. Not very professional, I might say. Aaron thinks it was fixed in a carpenter's workshop. Mohit thought it was fixed in China. Turns out, it was fixed in Ohio or Kentucky. Bwahaha.
I've been really busy in my clubs lately. I don't even have time to sleep! I procrastinated on the shirt for Robotics really badly. In the end, Nestor just did it for me on Flash (I used Illustrator, my most hated program).
Oni-Con has been weird lately. My logo got accepted for the Anime Club's shirt logo! Lynn's going to re-do it all on the computer and then send it off to be made into shirts. The skit hasn't been really prepared. I really don't know how I'm going to organize my group. I'm just really soft-spoken, and everyone else is too crazy.
For Robotics, me and Catherine took apart the mascot hat that Bee-Ling made last year. We learned a dark secret—Bee-Ling's mom was actually the one who did most of the work!
Oh yeah. When Andreah' was picking up the cotton from the mascot's stuffing and putting it into a plastic bag, I couldn't help but say "cotton picker". All of us just ended up bursting into laughter. (Does it make me racist that I said that?)
About a week ago, on Friday, Nickkie was having her tennis game at our school, and she wanted us to attend. I forgot my phone at home so I could inform my mom, but Janice told me she could give me a ride home.
Well, guess what? I was caught up so much in Anime Club that day that I missed the tennis game completely!!! I was too busy hanging out with the Anime Club members!
Plus, guess what? By the time Moriah and I reached Robotics, they had already finished their dinner!!! Noo! No pizza for me. I was sad. Plus, Janice was looking for me to finish the shirt logo. (Like I said, Nestor finished it for me later on.)
I felt like I had disappointed everyone.
The next day, I went to a college workshop at Rice University with Chi, Janice, Sue, and Vy. Sue and I didn't sign up beforehand, so we were gonna pretend to be foreign exchange students that could only speak Chinese (with both of us having poor Chinese-speaking skills) to get inside. We were going to really attempt it! However, it turns out we didn't need it: We could register at location.
While registering, I was trying to direct Kai to the university. His mom got lost and I had to ask a man to me direct them to the school. I gave away Chi's phone. Bwahaha.
Nickkie came a bit later. I tried to converse with her in French, but she only said "Je suis le poulet." At first glance, it seems like she only said, "I am the chicken," but a few days later, someone told me it could have a wrong meaning. (I should tell Nickkie that.)
After registering and eating breakfast (doughnut almost killed me!!!), we went and had our introductory seminar.
Shanna came during the seminar, and so did Kai, with a girl who I thought it was his sister. Turns out, it was my long-lost friend Tiffany!!! I wonder how they met—turns out, they met each other at the tennis game I forgot to attend the day before!
The workshop was fun! We got to wander around campus, and it was so beautiful! It's a really small university, with an 8:1 ratio of students to teachers. The entire school was built like a courtyard, with the courtyard itself decorated in Greek-like architecture. Janice described as "like walking into a prestigious school, like in Hana Yori Dango or Ouran High." Of course, those are fictional places, but you get the point.
During lunch, we wandered around that certain area, around the gift shops and the smoothie shop and the bookstore! I got caught up with the language section! They had books on how to learn Arabic and Chinese! *squeals*
Anyways, blah blah blah. The workshop was fun, and after that, we all waited outside. I found out Kai and Tiffany were also going to the Moon Festival at the local temple! I wanted to meet up with them there, but when Chi's dad was driving me, Chi, Janice, and Sue home, it looked like it was going to rain. In fact, it did: Very hard. When my mom came to pick me up at Chi's house, I had to run towards the van, with Sue helping me with a giant umbrella. It was like running through a million bullets of raindrops slamming at you all at once. They were heavy...heavy and wet.
The rain cleared up in an hour or so. I thought the festival had been cancelled because of the rain, so my mom never Turns out, Kai and Tiffany still went to the festival. I wanted to go, but my mom was too tired to drive me back out there, so I stayed home.
Hmmm... Now onto the present.
My brother tried to walk home today from a shopping center! He's such an idiot! I was playing tennis with Janice, Sue, Tomas, and Alex today. Well, my mom kept on calling me during my game to ask if Ricky had called me. It was weird for her asking me that, since he wouldn't usually call me. Turns out, she had lost him at the shopping center. She looked up and down, all through and about, but she couldn't find him. She told me to come home, and when I did, we started the search for my dumb ol' brother.
My sister had called my mom at 8 PM to inform her that he had come home. My mom had been searching for him for three hours. She didn't even punish him, except for making him stand and pray for an hour! Argh!!!
Oh yeah. My mom's taking computer classes now. Saturday mornings. Yup.
Alex gave me her rabbit ears headband so I could use it for the Halloween party, and I think I broke it!!! Wahhhh... I need to get my costume done soon.
What else... For Medical, I'm thinking of joining HOSA for the Terminology competition. Shanna was enthrilled to have me join, and she even gave me her old Terminology book! I memorized the first chapter, but all the other chapters have really disturbing pictures of people's faces with giant tumors and all that sort. It's really scary. However, during one Study Hall, Jocelyn was looking through the book and showing me pictures of all these horrendous diseases while giggling (she's in Medical). It was scary. And the saddest thing was, I was eating chocolate and raisins at the time. (Don't eat while you're staring at innards of people.)
Well, I'm really tired and I should head to sleep. I have church tomorrow, and I also have to finish a project. I'll see you all later. Bye!
