Sunday
We went to church at 11 AM, since there was no Sunday school that day... (After church, I was talking with Andy, who kept running off to find Ricky. Diana had to carry this little girl in her arms. *sweats*)
We went to a Thai restaurant after that. Thai Choice...I think. Anyways, the atmosphere was very dark. Hehe. I had a sweet and sour chicken (along with my sister) and my mom had a small soup. My brother didn't eat ANYTHING because he said nothing on the menu looked good... UGH, stupid him.
But the chicken was so big! I mean, all the food in that plate. So my mom helped me and my sister finish it.
Also, there was a man (very old, white beard, glasses) that was sitting by us... He was real nice, but quiet. He seemed to be waiting for one of the waitresses there... Huh.
And there was a nice Thai man (very young) with his Indonesian (?) friend and a girl (I'm guessing one of their wives???) and had a small chat with us.
Lots of little kids playing with the Thai decorations around the store... *laughs*
After that...I went to Target, and I FINALLY found a beret! WHEE!!!! I was so happy! But it's kinda raggedy. Like the threads are coming loose. Or is that a style now? *sweats*
Then Wal-Mart. I wanted to get an iPod so I could listen to it to the trip to Lubbock, but my mom said it was so small (easy to lose) and it costed too much.
Monday
On the bus ride in the morning, I decided to wear my beret to school. The bus driver said I got written-up for riding another bus (Mr. Flores--that's Shrina's bus!) and...I talked back (I think that's what she said) and got dropped off at Arizona Flemming...? Eh?
When I was wearing my hat, a group of girls said, "Looking fly!" and giggled. (I was wearing my beret. Then I took it off.)
In the morning, I was playing cards with Aaron! (Yu-Gi-Oh!) and I saw Freddy passing by and signed "How are you?" and "How was your Thanksgiving?" I had trouble recognizing a word... He said it was "ice" something... I-C-E and then he stopped spelling. Huh. Ice what...?
After that, I went to go sit over there, and I chatted with the rest of the group about their Thanksgiving.
Ivan cut his hair! (WOW.) And he came over to our table (Aaron and the others) to show off his cards and watch Nestor play Magic: The Gathering.
In P.E., I was SO OUT OF SHAPE! Stupid food! (Ah, how can I say that?! It was GOOD!) But suicides (running REAL FAST back and forth) made people so tired...
And I spent the rest of the time in the weight room listening to Jonathan's MP3 player. (Linkin Park music!) There was a boy who saw me signing earlier while I was walking to class with Paulina and he kept making clicking noises. It's because when I sign, people think I'm Deaf. And sometimes, people will make these soft noises--clicks, for example--to see if I can hear it or not. Ah, but I ignore it. He was SO SURPRISED when he heard me talk. He asked if I knew sign language, and he seemed real interested in it.
Cheeto (yes, it's the name of a Mexican friend I have) is currently learning the ASL alphabet. He says Carolina is teaching him. (Yay, so many people are learning!)
I wore my beret again, and Whitney and Jonathan thought I didn't look "tough" enough to wear a beret. (It's a beret!) I kinda cut the style. They said I looked more like an immigrant boy. *bursts out laughing*
Huang thought I looked like an elf... But I thought I looked like a leprechaun. (Hispanic guy: "A pretty damn big leprechaun!")
Digital Graphics - We have to make the word "NEGATIVE SPACE" into negative space by drawing shapes and pictures around it. ...Uh, I'll show you later.
English - Lilian asked if I went to the Homecoming Dance (which was two months ago?) and I said "yes". She asked if I danced with any black girls. I said "Some." Then she asked at the next dance if I would dance with her. (She even said she would give me a dollar!) I just said I would dance with her for free... *sweats* Then her friend wanted me to go in the middle of the class and dance. *sweats*
In Lunch, Vu was making videos! I think... Ivan had his camera, and he was recording signings of Vu. It was like an introduction. "Hi, my name is Vu and I'm a junior." Stuff like that. Waheed signed that he looked gay. Oy... *sweats*
Ah...I was wearing my beret, and Thrystan said I looked...something. "Fly" was the word I think he used.
In Geometry, I had so much fun talking to Danny, Thi, and Michelle. I wore my beret again (I take it on and off; hats aren't allowed in school, but teachers don't care) and Fola thought I looked handsome. Babetta said I looked like a newspaper boy. *laughs* Thi and I just talked about the test and other random things.
But all throughout that day, people from my bus came to talk to me about that incident with the bus driver. First Anita, in the hall, then Danny in Geometry (he said it was partly his fault...? Then he said he was kidding...), and then after school, Madiha said to go to the bus driver and said that I didn't do it. Madiha even said that she would be my witness. But ah, I had to go to Robotics, so I didn't go on and walked to the Deaf area.
I just basically talked to them about their Thanksgiving... I wore my beret and Dalisa thought it looked weird. I also rolled up my jeans (so I don't get them dirty from the mud, water, and grass from the heavy rain) and that also made it look weird... *sweats*
Freddy's afraid of birds flying down and pooping... *bursts out laughing*
During Robotics, we stayed outside and learned the dance moves. At first, Nam saw my hat and wanted to wear it. So we swapped hats. I got his gray beanie and his brown cotton/leather gloves. But then I wanted it back, so I had to race back and forth to get it. (Running back and forth from the workshop, outside, and the classroom. I eventually got it back and tied a red handkerchief to my neck (like an ascot) and people said I looked French! *bursts out laughing* I need to show pictures...
Well, on the bus home, Dominique was practicing the song, "This is Halloween", from "Nightmare Before Christmas". He's trying out for "Godspeed", a play about the life of Jesus. (The next day, I found out Kaether and Nam also auditioned.)
Okay...when I got home, I started packing my luggage for the trip!
Tuesday/Today
In the morning, I was playing Yu-Gi-Oh! with Aaron, and I was talking to Shoaib and why he wasn't here yesterday. He said he fell asleep and missed the bus. Ah.
The battle between Aaron was HARD. We could NOT attack at all, and in the end, it was a tie. We died with both of us having 0. (GRR, I need more negate cards!)
I went to go over to talk to them and I tried making an introduction video! (Ivan recorded.) But it sucked! All I could come up with is: "Hi, my name is Travis and I'm a freshman at Hightower." Then it died right there. *sweats* Lots of recording of Vu signing. Waheed thinks Vu signing in those videos are gay. *sweats*
In IPC, we had Jell-o (solutions, colloids, etc.) and chromatography experiments (we had no chromatography paper though...)!
In Transition, I drew anime pictures and talked a bit to Karen. Ah, this'll be the last day I see her. Trip, you see.
In Advisory, we wrote Christmas cards for children who are terminally ill. (Sick to the point where they will die.) So I wrote an uplifting poem...that came out of my head like snap. But Kaether hates people who write poems...and still believes in Santa. *laughs* (Tell him you don't believe in Santa, and he'll say "Screw you!")
In World Geography, our teacher wasn't here, so we had a sub and did a worksheet on Latin America. Tien found her Mashimaro plush! (Oh, did I tell you? Tien has contacts now.)
Lunch... I sat with Chi, Zach, and Jonathan. Zach likes to say, "So Travis, I heard you're sleeping with Nam." *laughs* *sweats* (We're sharing a room for the trip.) They re-did the whole list thing.
Oh! Did I tell you? We have to bring our luggage a day earlier so that they can get drug dogs to come in at night, and sniff our luggage for drugs. Ugh.
Jonathan got his sticker for his letterman jacket!
And I went to go sit with Ivan, Paulina, Charlene, and Arielle (I hadn't seen her in FOREVER!!!). I wanted to make that video again, but...eh.
In Fitness, we all sat together and did stuff. Dominique and I were braiding Christina's hair, and Lauren got angry whenever Christina tried to braid my hair (which was TOO SHORT!). Lauren believes Asian people shouldn't braid their hair...or get cornrows. (Cornrows I understand, but BRAIDS?!)
Then she started reading "Ayashi No Ceres" and I stood behind, reading it. Volume 6, I think.
After that, we all went to the corner of the gym so we wouldn't get hit by basketballs.
Is it just me, or does Kai look different every time I see him? (His hair is extra long now! Oh...the girls wanted to braid his hair, and he scooted back...FAR.) *laughs*
I went to go talk with the Deaf students, and Shoaib, who had a bag of pens. (You know those catalogs schools give you to sell stuff? Yah, he was just getting his stuff back.) Anyways, he was trying to sign something to me, and Geraldine translated for me. He was asking if I knew Japanese Sign Language. Vu told him that I knew it. (Or did he say Chinese Sign Language?)
I said I only knew a few words in Vietnamese Sign Language, and the ONLY word in Japanese Sign Language I know how to say is "eat", which looks like chopsticks (or an "r" symbol) at your mouth, and your other hand acting as a bowl full of rice, and the "r" sign scooping into the bowl of rice and placing it by your mouth.
After everyone went, I went to Robotics, where we practiced our dance moves. But Bee-Ling wasn't there, so Mariah had to take over. But no one would pay attention. We were all playing around and stuff. We practiced more when Bee got there, but even so, they still (even Bee) played around.
Akhil and I went to the tennis court. But Nick and Jonathan screamed out, "You lovebirds! Don't go gay! It's not the right way!" Akhil just screamed back, "WHAT?!"
So we borrowed tennis rackets and played... Actually, I had to run back to get my own. Oh, and Chi and Zach were watching for a bit.
I bought a bottle of root beer and talked a bit with Jasmine. I also talked with George, and Dominique, who was being chased by Nick and Jonathan for his soda. (EEP!)
After that, I took the bus, and tried to talk to spirits. Yeah, me weird. *laughs*
Then I biked home. (After getting off the bus.)
And...I had a salad.
I need to go shopping for snacks to bring.
And...there's a meeting tomorrow. I'll bring my luggage then.
End: 9:00 PM CST
