Ending of the First Week of School!
Start: 5:33 PM CST
Hey guys! I'm REALLY sorry I haven't been posting! SHOOT... If only I could remember what happened these four days... (Ugh, I know you guys wouldn't read that!!! So this time, I'm too lazy, so I'll give you some insight, all right? ^^)
1. Wanting to learn sign language.
In the high school I'm going to, there is a minority of deaf people. There are 3,000 people in the school I'm going to, and at least 5-20% are deaf and use sign language. I have some in my classes, and I'd love to learn how to talk to them. (Of course, they have translators with them, but sometimes, the translator doesn't translate, let's say, what a student says to them. Just what the teacher says.)
Currently, I'm learning sign language from a sight. I know how to say the basics... *smiles*
Wednesday
I was sitting in the bleachers with Travis again. Behind me, there was this boy talking to himself in this soft, yet kinda-fast voice, saying these kinds of things: "I DON'T WANNA DO DRUGS. I DON'T WANNA DO DRUGS. WELL MAYBE I'LL DO SOME DRUGS. GIRLS MAKE ME FEEL FUNNY. I THINK I'LL HIT A GIRL ONE DAY."
My expression: o_O;;
There was also two deaf students in front of me, and me, obsessed with sign language, just watched them talk amongst each other. (And their translator of course.)
Then Travis told me that we were in the wrong area of the gym (three classes at once were sharing the gym), so we moved to the B side. Yah, that was correct. Then, we went to go shoot with a bunch of people. It wasn't a game, but we shot a lot. *smiles*
Digital Graphics and Animation - I didn't get to sit with Geraldine today. WAH. Well, anyways, Geraldine didn't have a translator that day, so the teacher asked me to go down to the room and ask for a translator. So me and Geraldine walked downstairs to the room, and there was a bunch of kids waving hi to us. (Or was it just Geraldine?) Yes, they were deaf too. Geraldine said (in sign language) that we needed a translator, so one came to us. (Hehe, at first, they thought I was deaf too! Then, when I started speaking, they were kinda shocked. The teachers, I mean. ^^;;)
So we walked back to the class, and I was paired with a sophmore and senior in my class. We had to figure out the puzzling things about a cube with letters, colors, and whatnot with them. We found the answer first! (YAY!) We also talked about the movie posters in the room. They sound so interesting...
So, after that, we had to head to the auditorium to listen to the 9th grade thing. Of course, since there were also sophmore, juniors, and seniors in this class too, they had to come along... ^^;; SO LONGGG...
Then, me, running around, trying to get my schedule changed. GOSH, I was almost late!!! >_<
English? I forgot to turn in one of my papers!!! NOO!!! The teacher said that she was gonna put me in ZAP, but this girl said that ZAP doesn't start until next week. PHEW. >_< (ZAP is a program in our school, which means Zeroes Aren't Permitted, and if you get just ONE ZERO in the school, you're automatically kicked out... *scared*)
That's what I get for being in one of the toughest high schools in the city. *still scared* That, and LOTS of homework.
Oh, there was this game we had to play! Basically, we were going white-river-rafting in the Grand Canyon, and we had to make up a story following this: We're going rafting, but suddenly, the waves get too strong, and we're stranded in the middle of nowhere. Who will go look for food? Who will go to get help? Who will do nothing?
There was a paramedic. He was unconcious.
The tour guide broke both his legs.
The doctor...TURNED OUT TO BE AN ALLERGY DOCTOR.
There was a track runner...who was afraid of heights.
There was a pastry chef...who was pregnant.
There was an artist who liked rock climbing.
There was a contractor.
There was a college baseball player...but his knee broke 6 months ago, and it hadn't quite healed.
There was this girl in our classroom who LOVED DEATH. (Death obsessor!!!) She kept asking, "Do they die?" "When do they die?"
And for her story, this is what she did:
She said that the college student went out to go look for food, but a bear attacked him. The doctor pulled out a gun to shoot the bear, but missed and shot the college student. (EH?!)
And then the track runner ran off the cliff and went tummeling down for... (How many miles down is the Grand Canyon anyways???)
See? OBSESSED WITH DEATH... *screams*
For lunch, I sat with Christian, Julio, and Angelie. (They're the only people I know in that lunch. *sniffs*
Geometry...we had a sub. Our regular teacher just a child, and she's on her maternity leave. Our teacher was of Indian descent...and knew how to speak Spanish and Mandarin Chinese (or was that his son???)! Well, I replied, "Yo hablo Español!" when he asked if anyone knew Spanish, but K.K. said, "That's the ONLY thing you know how to say, eh?"
...Why do people automatically assume that since I'm Asian, I don't know Spanish. I took Spanish for FOUR (4) YEARS!!! (And I forgot it. But with later practicing, I'm starting to remember again!!! YAY! Vicky will be pleased! *smiles*)
Oh, I got eight pages for Geometry homework... Ugh.
On the bus, I sat with Vy. It was rainy that day, and Nancy (behind me) asked if we could pull open the window. We did, but it kept sliding back. ^^;; After I did it for her, and she said "thank you!", she added, "Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Vy and me: o_O??? No...
Thursday
Day 2 for me. GAHHH, I was ALMOST LATE!!! (Shoot, my alarm clock keeps messing up lately!!!)
At least I got to sleep "comfortably" on the bus that day!!! (But poor Charles! I kept shoving him off the seat! Me and my stupid weight... >_<) Oh...on the bus, if you don't know, there are 3 to a seat...ON ALL THE SEATS. o_O;;
Uh. Day B. Second time. I was waiting for a schedule change, but in Transition (Study Hall), they declined my thing. WHAT THE...?! Eh... Well, I just finished up some homework and asked my IPC teacher to help me with Geometry.
Geography was so funny! Ahh...our teacher was telling us about this Japanese kid who just entered our school, and his family was new to Texas, so they didn't know what it was like. So they bought him all this COWBOY clothes so they would all match the environment there... *bursts out laughing* SO WHEN HE CAME TO SCHOOL ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, HE WAS WEARING COWBOY STUFF. o_O;;
There was another guy from Ohio that did the same thing. He kept talking about horses for some reason. "Do you know how to ride a horse?" is what he asked.
And another guy from Canada that did the same thing. (So three--as far as I know--people went to school on the first day of school wearing cowboy stuf...??? EH?!)
All students said this: Stereotypes.
EXACTLY. :O
But the teacher said this wasn't their fault because on TV, all they see Texas as is an "Old West" style area... ^^;;
Uhh...in Fitness, we were once again summoned to Gym 1. I sat with Kai and Raul. Raul and some other guy had to leave to go somewhere, so I just went on talking to Kai. Ah, Tien (the second one--the girl that's Barbara's and Angelie's friends) started talking to him and I just joined along.
Two days ago, he told me that Tien stalked him. (It didn't seem like she stalked him. It seemed like she was his friend. o_O;;)
Oh, and Raul came back later. He seemed so along because we weren't talking to him... *sniffs*
OH! I'm thinking of going white-river-rafting with Kai in the summer! I'm going to SJ (and Australia) next summer, and he's going to San Jose (well, an area by San Jose) to go white-river-rafting! It sounds so fun!!! But I wonder if I'll have time. You see:
I'm taking German I for credit in the summer.
I'm taking Spanish for Native Speakers for credit in the summer.
I'm taking Algebra II next year (I think I already took that!) so I can be in Pre-Calculus by 10th grade with Aaron. *laughs*
See? SO BUSY. STUPID CREDITS! I'm CONFUSSSEEDDD...
Well, Kai and I walked to the bus, except he left me to go walk Vy to the bus. (He didn't tell me he was waiting for Vy. Shoot.)
So on the bus, me, Aaron, and Vy were listening to the radio. Diary of Jane... Hehe, my sister likes that song.
BUH GUHHH... I had to WALK home in the HEAT! I tried taking a shortcut, but that made it even HOTTER... UWAHHH...
We went shopping for school supplies that day. More school supplies anyways. Well, after doing all the school supply shopping, my mom took SO LONG BUYING FURNITURE AND FOOD! (Okay, I have so much homework due in two days and she takes her time shopping?! @_@?!) Well...I got home around 7-8 PM... That's good, right? ^^;;
Oh, I stayed on the computer until midnight that night JUST TO FINISH MY HOMEWORK. BLUHHH...
Friday/Yesterday
Well, my hair was cut on Thursday at night! I had a bet with Chi (somewhere in the night) that'd I come to school with my hair spiked up... It didn't work...actually.
Ehh... Lemme remember. OH! I played basketball with Travis again. And Kyo (is that how his name is spelled? That's how it sounds anyways...) And another girl... She had no shoes and was wearing toe rings... ^^;;
She was playing basketball with us...but she didn't move. AND WE ALL SUCKED. So two black guys (shorter than me) come up to us, looking for a game. So we played. It was 2 (the two black kids) vs. 4 (me, Travis, "Kyo", and that girl whose name I cannot remember right now!!!).
Guess what? WE LOST. ^^;;
For Digital Animation, we learned about light... How our Art teachers have been lying to us about color! The three main colors are NOT red, blue, and yellow! They are magenta, cyan, and yellow!!!
RGB! CMYK!!!! *screams and runs around*
K = black. Who knew? ^^;;
Ah, I had to help Geraldine and her speaker fix the printer (the teacher pulled out their computer's plug so we could turn on the overhead) and then, we all got to play with Adobe Photoshop! Hehe, all that time, I need help from Rochelle... ^^;; (Hey, I wonder where Andy was... :O)
In English...uhh...we were going over the factors of gothic literature... Ooh. Too bad I didn't bring my book!!! UGHH. I had to share with Moriah...
Geometry. MORE WORK. I worked with the two people on the left and right of me. Over on the bottom corner of the room, kids were talking about K.K. real's name and saying, "WHO HAS A NAME LIKE THAT?!" *laughs* (Hey, I know someone named Heimatatini. If you don't know who that is, that's Hinaru from MyOtaku. And I think it's an adorable name... XP
And more fighting about how Rehman and D...something look alike. (They DO look alike! Except their hair, face shape, and smile... XPXP They're cousins, so yah.) They were talking about this when I was getting back to English from lunch, and I overheard their conversation (they were standing outside, so this was before I got in). But they thought I didn't know what they were talking about. (Me, a random person, walking up to someone, hearing their conversation, and talking about it... XPXP)
So after that, I went out and waited with Kai for Vy...except he's so quiet that you start to think he doesn't want to talk to you. But he's like that, ya know?
Chi came to me and we said "hi"! (I whispered to her, "Say hi to Kai." She replied, "No." and walked off. What a demon she is. Info: They used to be friends, but because of a little fight last year, they don't talk to each other anymore.)
Quote from Vy: They're just stubborn little idiots.
Me: YUP.
OH! I finally saw JANICE!!!! GAH, she looks so DORKY at school!!! (I don't mean to sound mean!!! It's just that she had glasses on, pulled her hair back--it was still messy, and had these baggy clothes on. Usually, she doesn't have glasses, her hair's curled, and she doesn't have BAGGY clothes on. ^^;;) We said "hi", and I kept trying to stick this flower (which I brought for AARON!!! XP) into her hair, but it didn't work. So she stuck it onto her friend's head, Jonathan. XPXP
On the bus, Aaron, me, and Vy were listening to bagpipe music... Hehe, I don't know why, but bagpipe music makes me happy. *smiles*
So...my mom picked me up from school that day, and I went home. I went on the computer and played a bit (me free day!!!), then I got off!
I watched Cheetah Girls 2! I found out Aqua (one of the characters) is from Houston, Texas! Hehe, the first one was kinda insulting. In the first movie, she kept talking like this: "Well, in Texas, we rangers gotta talk together." and all that cowboy lingo. (No cowboy lingo in the second movie. YAY! ^^)
After that, I had ice cream, ate a lot and whatnot.
Today/Saturday
Uhh...I woke up around...11 AM, ate food, then went on the computer around 2 PM.
Aaron, Diana, and I have been sharing funny videos around to watch. Hehe...
There was this HORRIBLE SHAKIRA ONE... *eyes scream in pain* (Aaron sent this to me.)
And cartoon characters killing each other... @_@;; (Aaron sent this to me.)
The Hamster Dance one... It was bad. I like the song, but not the pictures. (Aaron sent this to me.)
That Dance Dance one Diana sent to me and Aaron. Aaron said she had great taste. XP
And the peaceful flower...SCARY PICTURE THING. It was this girl singing a soft song, with pretty flowers, and I keep thinking: I bet this is one of those videos that have that scary picture pop up at the end. Somewhere around the beginning, my sister walked out of the room, laughing. (This is when I started to think this was a "scary" video...) Aaron LOVED it, and asked my sister if he could marry her. o_O;;
And the funny Charlie the Unicorn one!
Well, I have to get off now. BYE!!!
End: 6:22 PM CST
