Start: 8:59 PM CST Hi guys! Remember I told you guys that I ordered a laptop from Dell a week ago? Well, last afternoon/evening, it came in!!! YAY!!! I think I messed up my new laptop (on the first day?!) at first, but now I fixed it! Now...something weird's happened. Ugh, what's with me and these computer problems...? And this laptop's keyboard hurts... I think it's too small... Yesterday/Monday UGH. All I wanted to do in the morning was sleep! SLEEP! Now now, I wasn't late for my bus, but it was raining pretty bad. So my mom offered to drive me to the stop. After finishing breakfast really fast, we drove to the bus stop. Dominique and Brad were the only people standing outside in the rain...with an umbrella. I wanted to go stand out in the rain with my umbrella, but my mom complained about how I would rather go outside and standing in the rain than to stay in the van where it's dry. When I did get out, both were happy because "I wasn't a punk". You see, both of them were standing in the pouring rain with their umbrellas, and there were the other people--staying in their vehicles, waiting for the bus to come. They had umbrellas, but didn't wait in the rain. That's what Dominique and Brad call "punks". *laughs* Lots and lots of sleeping in the morning... We all looked sleepy, really. And Kai looked pink. Not PINK, but more pale than he usually was... In IPC, we had...oh shoot. I forgot to do the essay for IPC! It's due tomorrow!!! WAHHH. In Transition, I spent the whole time on the computer, doing PowerPoint for the Geometry project with Thi. She sent me a PowerPoint file through e-mail. Bad thing was, you couldn't download anything from e-mails. UGHHH. I needed that to finish my work! Well, after finishing all that, our teacher and some other students were grading papers, and I decided to help. Our poor teacher... She's been stressed so much lately... In World Geography, we took a week's worth of notes. Our teacher's been summoned for trial duty, and who knows how long he'll be there... OH! We have another Geography project... Shoot. I need to finish those soon. In Lunch, I sat with Chi and Jonathan and we just ate. We met two new people from our table: Raina and...Amy, was it? Or was it Rachel? Or Robin...? (No, Robyn's another person... SHOOT. Was was HER name...?) In Fitness, we played kickball! Kai just looked kinda laughy/giggly when hitting the ball. And watching other people play. It was kinda...different. Yet kinda funny. (I'm confusing ya, eh?) Kinda a relief. Yah, we'll say that. Ohh...Kenny bent Raul's girlfriend's Ayashi no Ceres: Volume 11 book... Lauren gave it to Raul to give to his girlfriend, and Kenny skimmed through it, tried to throw it to Raul, and it bent... UGH. I stayed after school today, and we spent the whole time talking to Melissa about the rules and stuff of Robotics Club. (Kathy was pretending to be foreign exchange student from Venezuela who didn't know English very well. I asked her to do it! Problem: A lot of people already knew her.) Aaron came a bit later too... And so, we planned out mascots for our club. A kraken? An octopus? A shark? A metal shark? A cyborg teddy bear? Zach dressed up as Jack Sparrow? (Everyone--especially me--just bursted out LAUGHING from Zach's picture. He had claws, razor sharp teeth, and had the body of a gingerbread man. And oh--he was riding on a tornado. Yes. A tornado.) After the club, I headed to the bus, but Aaron dragged me to Chi's van! I wouldn't say "dragged", but he did PUSH ME all the way until we got to Aaron's van. OH! I forgot to mention! Homecoming dance! Kathy and I were gonna register as the beau and sweetheart, but only seniors can do it. Shoot. Well, it looks like I might take Kathy to the dance. ... Eh? On the van ride, there was a part when we were on the highway, in a traffic jam, and I was drinking some grape juice I bought at school. Then, Chi's mom just stepped on the break suddenly, and a bunch of grape juice went all over my shirt. Good thing: You can't see the stains. Bad thing: It felt...sticky. Aaron said I smelled like candy. (EH?) Well, we both stopped by Aaron's house, and we got off. Then, Aaron wanted to walk to my house with me, so he could remember where I lived and stalk me! Of course, we live at least a 20-minute walk from each other. There was one time where I was looking for a public trash can, and when I saw one, I just started running towards it, in a happy-like way, and threw away my grape juice bottle. Yes, I'm weird, neh? Practically, he was the most psycho-est the whole time. All I wanted to do was get home. 3/4 of the way there, Aaron said he needed to use the restroom, and started walking down towards the bayou to...yeah. In my head, I was thinking, This is my chance. RUN TRAVIS. RUN HOME. I did, and he said that my house was too far, so he gave up and walked home. When I got home, I found out my Dell laptop had arrived! I was so happy! But I was sweaty and sticky, so after a quick shower, I started to open it. Really, I wasn't all that enthusiastic... I had to delete a bunch of pre-installed stuff, and I messed up setting something up. OY. But it was fun after a while! I stayed on the computer in the second living room, then walked upstairs to the computer room, where my sister was, and started working on the PowerPoint that Thi gave me... UGH. So tiring... Somewhen before 11, I went downstairs, ate canh chua, stayed on the computer until midnight (in my room this time) and headed to bed. Today/Tuesday When I got to school today, I rushed to finish all my Geometry homework (with the help of Geoffrey!) while eating a cookie that Kai bought for Vy. In P.E., I went to the weight room with Travis and Hung, and basically, I was half-asleep there the whole time. In Digital Graphics, we went around the school and the teacher took pictures of us in different lightning! I was in full sun (which was an UGLY picture, by the way), Richelle in soft light, Jacob was in soft light (directional), and another student was in spot light. Jessica and her friends kept playing with our faces on Photoshop, zooming in to look at people's pores, zits, and basically, their skin and laughing at it. *sweats* Oh, Richelle's birthday was today! She told me before Digital Graphics started, and I saw that she was holding a tuppenware (plastic!) bowl with a lid, and the cake had candles, with the numbers 9 and an upside-down 1. I asked, "You turned 91?" (Yes, I actually thought that!) She said (sarcastically, but I didn't know it at the time), "Yes, that's EXACTLY what I am." Later I realized she turned 16. The 9 was actually a 6. (Man, am I slow...) In Advisory, I was late!!! Ugh... I had to go put up my books, and because of that, I was late. Our teacher brought doughnuts! But because me and a group of people were tardy, we were almost last. I took three. *laughs* Yes, there was a lot. We talked basically. Ashley kept asking everyone to guess her name. "What's my name?" she would ask someone. And I would reply "Ashley!", and then she would say "Don't ruin it for them!" She also made me feel like eating candy. (You're sitting in a room surrounded by lollipops, hard candy, chocolate truffles, and doughnuts. You just finished eating the doughnuts. Except for the doughnuts, you can't eat anything else. Yet you're surrounded by food... Hmmm...) In English, we had a sub. After doing questions, we had to do a timed essay. The time? One hour. Sounds not that bad, right? It took me LONNGGG. Oh! The sub didn't know when to let us out, so he let us out early (people took advantage of him...), but we had to stand outside until the commons opened up. I waved "hi" to Geraldine in lunch today! She has this adorable bow when she waves "hello"... *laughs* I sat with Tien today. When she saw my food, she was kinda digusted. I was too. It was all...brown... EW. They were also selling restaurant-made pizza, but I forgot about that... Tien got promoted in ROTC today! She has one star on her military uniform now. So do Eric and Ronita! In Geometry, we did lots and lots of work. I sat by Thi, and we discussed the project. It was confusing, really. We both made separate projects for the same project, and it just got...blah. More homework, yay. And in our homework check, I thought I would get a VERY low grade, and I guessed! Guess what? I GOT a 100! FROM GUESSING. EH?! (Actually, I just memorized some of that work. *sweats*) After that, Thi gave me one of her cube-like tuppenware cases and tells me to hold it for her (and to wash it) and give it back to her next week. WEIRD. We also walked around the band area, and I played a bit of piano (until Thi told me to leave when her strict teacher came in) and we parted. It was so quiet during Robotics... Until I realized everyone was in another room! Ashley started playing Techno...something music. (I can't think of the artist! But the style was technopop with trance and techno...and some new age.) Then we heard DDR music playing! It was from Ahkil's project. Oh! Mariah invited me to her birthday party! She's having it an anime/arcade area, I think... Bi Ling was talking about French homework, and I said, "I need to learn more French..." She thought I said, "I need to get more friends!" *bursts out laughing* If I DID say that, her reply would be, "Hey, don't look at me." Not exactly that, but like a pity thing. We went over robot schematics, and then we went to the buses! I sat with Ahkil, in front of Michelle and Nicole! We all played BC, and it was pretty fun! Michelle thought someone was gonna get off in the middle of a bridge/highway... (Eh...?) Eric and Ronita talked about ROTC, and Dominique's interested about the sabres... But he doesn't know what a beret is... *sweats* I also talked to Ronita a little bit. She's been hanging with Paulisha a lot, but not since school started... Well, after everyone got off, I finally got off...a little bit before 8 PM. The people at the elementary school were having an Open House thing! And after all that, I'm here. I'm tired. I need to finish homework. End: 9:59 PM CST © 2004-2007 MiasmaMoon. All rights reserved. Comments (1) « Home
