Morning Meetup

It's 4:23AM right now and I have to be at school at 9:00AM. My exams are over but there's a meeting for the summer volunteers. I happen to be one of them. I'm not sure what it's about or how long it will take. We'll probably be introduced to our supervisor or something like that. In any case, I should be sleeping but I can't. I just woke up two hours ago from a 5 hour long 'nap.' FML. ( TДT)

Four Out of Four

Guessed who finished all of her exams? That's right, me! It was biology and law and it lasted the whole day. I'm confident I'll pass with flying colours. The only difference between yesterday and Tuesday is that instead of roaming the hallway, I went to the library. IT HAD AIR CONDITIONING. ∩(︶▽︶)∩ I was so happy!

After my law exam, I went to meet up with my friend, N, at the library. We were going to K-Town together along with two of our other friends, W and V. N and I got onto the bus and surprisingly, it was the same one W was on! When we were all gathered at the subway, we made our way to K-Town.

N and I were starving so we ate first while W and V walked around in the scorching heat (the suckers.) We went to a Korean restaurant and ordered bibambap and dumplings. Yes, we shared one meal because we knew we couldn't finish it all by ourselves from previous restaurant experiences. (〃 ̄ω ̄〃ゞ

Once we were done, we met back up with W and V and went to a karaoke place! It was my second time going there and it was just as fun as the first time. We couldn't sing for shit but that was what made the whole thing amazing. When the hour ended, N and I left to go home while W and V stayed to it.

We went on the subway together but her stop came before mine. It was my second time going on the bus alone so I wasn't sure which bus to take. Fortunately, N said 35A and once I got to my stop, 35A came. I was able to get home before the thunderstorm started. To end, it was a wonderful day! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Two Out of Four

I had two exams today - my English and physics. I stayed up to 3:00AM the night before studying for physics and when I woke up, it was 8:30AM. My English exam started at 9:00AM so I didn't have time to eat a proper breakfast. I just bolted out of the house with a juice box and speed-walked like my life depended on it.

I got there on time and it was easy. We just had to answer a few questions and write an essay relating to one of the works we studied. It took me awhile to answer the questions so when it came to time to write the essay, I only had 40 minutes left. I didn't have a brainstorm or anything. I basically bullshitted 5 paragraphs. ヽ( ̄д ̄;)ノ

When I finished, I headed to the library with the intention of spending my spare time studying for physics. When I was in the hallway, I bumped into Mr. G. He told me his wife loved what I did with the wrapping and she even took a photo of it to show her "scrapbooking sisters." I was very happy! That was the highlight of my day. ヾ(@† ▽ †@)ノ

In the end, I didn't go to the library because it was locked and all the teachers were busy doing something. I would have gone to the caf but that was closed, too. I ended up staying in a stairway with my textbook open and my notes on my lap. People probably thought that I was a loner... ; u ;

When it came time for my physics exam, I was not ready at all. I spent my time studying the facts instead of the actual application so the calculation part of the exam screwed me over. I guessed for the multiple choice part, too. Heck, 80 percent of my exam was pure guessing. I'm hoping I just pass with a decent mark. 。・゚゚・(>д<)・゚゚・。

Just two more exams to go and I'll be free~~ (until July 3rd.)

Sunny Day

Today we got our yearbooks and let me tell you, it is amazing. Our editor, let's call her H, designed everything. The cover is beautiful, the pages are organized nicely and most of the pictures are high quality. The title, instead of the standard school name, is "Worth a Thousand Words." I just love it.

I got my close friends and some of my teachers to sign mine. Some 10th graders in my biology class bombarded me when I was going to the BBQ because they saw what I wrote in my friend's sister's yearbook and wanted something like that. I didn't know what to write so I bullshitted it.  (一。一;;)

All in all, it was a pretty good day. Mr. G liked my little gift for him, I got a hotdog and I got to spend time with my gal pals. It would have been even better if I got to spend time with my boyfriend, D, but alas, he had things to do and I was getting tired of waiting for him outside in the hot sun. (;≧皿≦)

Wrapping Raisins

I went to Walmart today (or rather yesterday) to find some raisins for Mr. G. I found out on Friday that he likes them so I figured why not. Besides, my class hasn't been the... best and it was the least I could do to show my appreciation for him teaching and not giving up on us.

Anywho, so there I was with my little sister. We were wandering through the food aisles looking for raisins. I was getting frustrated because I was looking but I couldn't find them anywhere. Then I found my dad - he has a habit of going off on his own - and I asked him for help.

He found it in 2 tries. I felt so stupid. (u_u)

When we got home, I decided to wrap the raisins. They were already in a rectangle shape but I wanted to make it more aesthetically pleasing. And so I took a blue A4 paper and started measuring and folding and cutting out the word 'enjoy' to have a glass-window effect.

It took me 3 hours. OTL

Oh well, at least it looks - somewhat - decent. I hope Mr. G. likes it. (He better like it after all the time I put into doing it!)

Lazy Saturday

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything.
- Bruno Mars

This is me at the moment. I'm not doing anything - well, not the things I should be doing. Like study for my exams. I'm just sitting in front of my laptop looking for things I can sew. I'll eventually focus but for now... back to scrolling. ╮(─▽─)╭

Monochrome Cake Bars

This whole week I've woken up at 5:30am. I would usually sleep in until 7 but today I decided to stay up and make those Neapolitan cake bars. I couldn't find any strawberry cake mix though so I can't really call them Neapolitan... (Maybe I should call them Monochrome?)

Anyhow, the prep took 30 minutes. (Thank goodness today is a late start!) When it was in the oven baking, I got really nervous because there was this burning smell. (;° ロ°) It turned out I was just paranoid because when I removed the cake, it was normal. It was a bit lopsided but normal nonetheless!

Then I gave a piece to my mom and sisters and according to them, it tasted fine. Mission accomplished! o(≧∇≦o) Now I'll just feed them to my friends today at lunch and see what they think of my first solo cake attempt. I'm hoping they like it, along with the magnets from Disney World I was supposed to give them in September and the ribbons I made from magazine pages last night when I was supposed to be studying for exams.

...

My priorities are messed up. OTL


EDIT: I gave them to my friends and they liked it! I plan to make cupcakes or cookies next.

Neapolitan Cake Bars

After hours of searching for an easy cake recipe, I finally found one! The instructions are pretty simple and judging from the comments, the cake bars taste really good. All I have to do is buy the ingredients and pan and I'll be good to go. I want them to be perfect because I'll be giving them to my friends on Friday. (⌒▽⌒)☆

Lonely Sunday

I was fine with being alone. All I had to worry about was myself. I thought that if I opened myself up to others, they'd take advantage of it and use everything I told them against me. I was scared at the idea of being hurt.

But then in December 2011 I let someone into my life for the first time. I let him know the real me. It was supposed to be just a crush. I had no idea that I would like him this much, that I would get so attached.

That's what surprised me most. I had changed. I was no longer fine with being alone. I didn't ever want to be alone again. I think that's what drove me to react so harshly last night. I wanted things to go back to normal.

I wanted to go back to normal.

He hasn't text me at all today. I don't blame him. I told him to 'Leave me alone.' I should make the first move but I'm too stubborn to say sorry. And even if I did, would he accept it? There's only one way to find out...

But I'm scared he hates me.

Productive Saturday

Today has been very productive for me! I finished up my cover letter and resume and applied to be a Gate Attendant at the CNE. I'm also planning on applying for more jobs but I need references. I'm hoping to get them from Ms. A and Ms. L on Monday. With that said, I'll just get back to finishing up this isu now. φ(・ω・` )

Sixty-Three Percent

Biology
Mr. J gave us a quiz on the Hardy-Weinberg Principle. It didn't study for it since it resembled the formula x2 + 2xy + y2 and I got the gist of what we had to do. We then took up some classwork so now all I have to do this weekend is study for a quest on Monday on bacteria, viruses, and protists.


Physics
Mr. E handed back our tests. I got 63%. ╥﹏╥ I'm not fazed the slightest since I had a feeling it would be bad but if I tell my parents, they'll flip out. That's why I'm keeping this mark on the down low. In other news, we had to do a lab assignment individually with magnets. It counts for 5% of our mark. I hope I get near perfect so it balances out my crappy test mark.


Law
Ms. A finally gave back our essays. I got a really good mark considering I bs'd the whole thing. We then spent the class going through what to do and what not to do on an essay. It was so boring but apparently it'll come in handy when we begin writing up our independent study unit that's due Monday.


English
We finished watching 'A Simple Plan.' At the end, Mr. G asked the class the same question I was wondering about yesterday. Σ(゜ロ゜;) Creepy, huh? Since we had 15 minutes to spare, the class went on to talk about relationships. I didn't really pay attention. I blame it all on Brick Breaker.

Counting Beans

Biology
We had to count beans. Each group had to get 100 brown beans and 100 white beans, mix them up in a container, take out 100 beans at random, count how many of each beans there were, double the number, and change the amount of each bean accordingly. We had to do this 8 times. It was so tedious and I was in no state to do any counting... so I let my group members do the bulk of it. ヽ(^。^)丿


Physics
There was a test on sound and waves. I think I failed it. Don't get me wrong, I studied for it... last minute... at 3 in the morning...

Law
We spent the whole time working on our independent study unit. I was so bored, I actually finished two thirds of it.

English
We watched the movie 'A Simple Plan.' It's a pretty interesting movie and it got me thinking, "What would I do  if I came across $4 million?"
