Goodbye March.

March went by quickly. Nothing really happened except for my constant receiving of work. Cool.
It was definitely better than February. I didn't create a blogspot back then, but I'm sure you didn't want to see how disoriented I was then. I couldn't handle the stress or the work placed upon me. But I got through it. Barely. ;D
Anyways, I'm sure April will be better. Tomorrow's the beginning of a brand new 30 days. Not only is it April Fool's Day (YES.), but it's also the day before the seniors go to Disney World. And last year, they played Disney music between classes before last year's seniors went. I'M EXCITED. :) LOL. April's also going to be good 'cause of spring break. <3 Can't wait. AND because of all of the sports going on! March Madness is ending, NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, AND MLB starts again! :) It's official, I'm changing out my least favorite month from April to February. Lol. I got lots to do now though! Enjoy the rest of March 2011!

Back to December

^WANT. WANT. WANT. <3 Monokuro Boo!

Anyways, today was okay. In APUSH, we listened to a doctor talk about all of these diseases and stuff. o__o. It wasn't as interesting as the rabbi yesterday though. Lol. In pre-calc, we were learning about like ellipses (I don't understand why we're doing conic sections if we did them in Algebra 2 like two years ago...?), and the only thing keeping me awake was how Cory turned my gum wrapper into a Loch Ness monster. LOL. <3 I showed it to Emily in chemistry, and so we named it Nessy. :) Lol. We're creative. The health quiz was really easy. I was done all 40 questions within like 5 minutes. Wah, I just got really sidetracked. Lol. Alright, back. I went to reading buddies, only to find out I didn't have a buddy this week. THAT'S COOL. /foreveralone. Two other people also didn't have a buddy, so we ended up stamping bookmarks for like 30 minutes. FUN STUFF. -___-"

I need to work on this essay/study for chemistry! I promise I'll be fully back once this quarter's over/once it's finally spring break! Byee!

Born This Way

Blehhh. I really need to work on this APUSH paper and study! ><,
CRAP. I should go. Bye guys, by the time it's Friday, I'll be barely functioning from all of this lack of sleep.
(3.5 hours yesterday, 5.5 hours today. Shoot. T-T)

Maybe we've been living with our eyes half open,

Today sucked. Lol. So I went to sleep at around 2AM and woke up at 5:30. KCOOL. I'm so exhausted.

In study hall, we watched Cory draw. LOL, it was hilarious. In APUSH, we took our test. Man, we all failed. Like the highest grade apparently was a 92. I didn't do so well. Lol, but I still have an A...weird. Then we got to chem, and there's no teacher again. o__o. Dude, we were supposed to have a test today! Now what's gonna happen? Haha. I don't think we're going to have it tomorrow 'cause they're not allowed (juniors have more standardized testing). We'll see. x)

Alrighhht, I really gotta work and sleep. Hope this week's going well for you~

We wanna make the world dance,

So I have so much work to do...but I don't feel like doing any of it. T-T
But I really should. Crap.
Anyways, yesterday I got a bank account. :) My parents thought you had to be 16 to get it...but apparently you don't? We needed to cash in the $50 from science fair last week. And then they added some more money into my account. :) And my debit card should be coming soon. Dang, I feel old.
Alright, I have so much to do. 1 chapter of APUSH, 3 chapters of chemistry, a mini-essay, lots of math homework, and so much studying! Enjoy the rest of your weekend guys. :)

Earth Hour

Today, as you may or may not know, is Earth Hour. It's happening worldwide tonight, March 26, 2011, at 8:30PM. Basically what happens is for one hour you turn out your lights to raise awareness of sustainability issues and to allow people all over the world  work together to help this planet.
I think it's a great idea and cause, and I think I'm going to do it. :) So in 5 minutes, it'll be time!
If you want more information, check out www.earthhour.org or www.youtube.com/earthhour
I've also shared it on my Twitter and YouTube has a cool light switch near all of the videos, so you can turn it off for a cool dark effect! :)
I hope you join me in doing this! :)

Love Me

Hellooo! I've got so much work to do! /faints

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH! Enjoy your 16th! <3

Alright, to sum things up for right now...

Lunch: We had a FIRE DRILL. What. I was walking to guidance with Emily to ask them where the cash box was since it wasn't in the teacher's dining area like they said it was...and then these lights started flashing & the alarm went off. As soon as that happened, all of the big doors in the hallway closed, so we thought we were like locked in or something. o___o. But then I opened the door. Lol. We rushed into the cafeteria. And then all of us eating C lunch had to go outside onto the tennis courts for like 15 minutes. We came back and they gave us some more time to eat and stuff. So after I went to 5th period, only to find that those people that had A and B lunch were already in class. Lol.

Rhapsody: Went to Rhapsody after school. It was pretty cool, I guess. I can't stand listening to poems that rhyme though. It just draws me away from the poem's actual meaning. I mean like it's a nice add-on and stuff, but I think it'd be better without rhymes. We looked through some of my friend's photography, she's really talented. <3 And then I left and went to the library. -__-, I ended up getting some of my research for the APUSH paper done. Yay.

Alright, I really need to go. Have a beautiful weekend~

A little update~

Hey guys, I know I said my blog would be completely edited & out of construction by last week, but obvious that hasn't happened yet! Sorry! I'm working on creating a cbox & making sure my blog doesn't look too hideous in IE, b/c this skin is probably meant for Google Chrome. Sorry for the delay, but you'll have to wait just another week longer for everything to be cleaned up and such. I'm terribly busy and won't have time to work on this. Sorry! Have a happy Friday!

Born This Way

Hellooo~! I've been kind of (not really, but in my terms, yes) inactive. I promise that a few weeks from now, I'll start up again and post all the time. But right now, I have lots of tests to study for, papers to write, and a book to understand/read. Loving the end of the 3rd quarter! <3
But no, really. I'm overloaded with work. I really need a break. Thankfully, spring break's only 3 weeks and a day away! Oh yay.
Today I went to art club for the first time all year. LOL. Andrea and I walked in and she gave us the weirdest look. Lol. But it's all good. :) I started painting a cheetah, it looks like nothing now...but hopefully it'll turn into something good! It's been a long time since I painted last, almost a full year. I don't know how I lasted for so long without it. Touching the paint brush again, mixing the paints, everything, seemed to bring back a sense of nostalgia for me. It's been way too long without art in my life. I'm ready to come back. I have a project in my mind currently, but it'll take a while. I think I'll wait for spring break to come to work on it. :)
Alright, I have a lot of homework to do! ;n; APUSH notes, APUSH paper, pre-calc graphs, American Lit II worksheet, American Lit II paper, chem objectives/written work, French III quiz tomorrow.
AND it's been snowing these past few days. I know right? It snowed yesterday morning while I was going to the APUSH review session, and it was snowing on my way to the bus stop/during 1st period. It's supposed to be spring! ><,, Hopefully your week's going better~ Enjoy!
& HAPPY BELATED 16TH BIRTHDAY TO SARAH. <3 Hope you had a wonderful day yesterday!

So many ways to love you,

Late arrival today! :) Wooo, I'm liking this. Juniors still have standardized testing so we get half days :)

So I went to the library to volunteer after school...and right as I was going to leave, they call me back in to find a book. At this point, I'm frustrated and confused. They bring me up to some carts of books and tell me to pick one. I have no idea what it's for...so I asked and apparently national volunteers week is coming up and to honor us volunteers, we get to pick a book out and have our name in it. :D So I didn't recognize ANY of the books...so I picked one with an interesting cover. ;) One Page at a Time by Pat Carr.

Anyways, I NEED to work. Gotta go! Enjoy your weeek!

Happy SPRING!

So today's the first day of spring. :) AHH! I'm all excited and stuff since now winter's officially over. :)

I didn't go to Rita's today, although I should have. If you're not from around here, every year on the first day of spring, Rita's gives away free water/Italian ice. I tried to go last year, but the line was so long. o__o. So I went to a random other water/Italian ice place instead...but it wasn't free. Lol.

I went to the awards ceremony for science fair though. I got 1st honorable mention. Uh yay. I don't get to move onto the next round, but that's okay. I was competing against really complicated projects, so it was a shocker that I even got an award. But I got a special award too from some random gardening place. x) I was the only one who got the award and I was on the other side of the room. So awkward while it was dead silent and I was just walking over. BUT, I did get $50 though. :) Now where to spend this...hahaha.

Alright, I should go study for APUSH. Quiz tomorrow. -___-,

Have a great spring~

Start Again,

I went to get my hair cut today. Rawr.
I haven't gotten it cut in over 6 months 'cause I kept pushing it back and whatnot.
I got there and the lady kept commenting on how thick my hair was T-T". I got it cut like 2-3 inches. And now it's all strange. I kind of like it though. :3
So for science fair, I got a category award and a special award. I'm not sure if I'm moving on, though I'm probably not. But hey, at least I got some money from the special award. :) The award ceremony's tomorrow afternoon, so I'll find out then. Bleh.
Alright, I should go do work/watch more basketball. Have a great day~

March Madness

I barely went to school today. I had science fair. /:
I'm more of a fan of the other science fair I did in late February than this one. But this was the 1st time I've ever done it, so I guess it was quite an experience. I don't think I made it onto the next round, but whatever. I met some interesting people. LOL.
Anyways, I went to school at normal time. I was in such a bad mood this morning. And I went to French class for like 15 minutes. We got there and I started sitting there, not knowing what to do at all. I just sat there for a while wondering what was going to happen. This one lady comes to me as a judge. So I get up and start presenting to her...and she like cuts me off and starts asking me questions. Lol what. I answered them, but like whhhat. Then I waited for a while and this group of 3 women come and actually let me present. o__o, lol. I presented for them...and they asked me a lot of questions dealing w/ like gardening, xD. So then she asks this one question which I don't understand at first, so I start making it all up...until I finally realize what she's saying. Whoops. Then this man comes and is all chill/easy-going and all. He didn't ask many difficult questions/questions at all. Finally, this group of 4 people (category judges...EEK) come and I present fully for them. They asked me a few questions, and it wasn't that bad. /:
There were 12 people in my category. Dang. That's a lot. o___o.
I wandered around a little bit and then went back to sit there. Fun!
On the way back, we ate lunch. And then I got to chem class and find out there's no teacher. LOLOL. So we just kept sitting there and chilling. Then the phone rings...and it's from the front office. o___o. We didn't answer it, hahaha. Then it rings a little bit later and we finally just answer it, only to find out it's just a call dealing with like someone needing to pick up something. x)
Then I went to gym and played volleyball. Idk why, but I wasn't that bad at it today. T-T, so strange?
It's so warm outside! SEVENTY FIVE DEGREES! :) Ahh, spring's just two days away!
HAPPY FRIDAY! Enjoy your weekends. <3
I'll be watching basketball! :) (D U K E [they're playing right now!])

Lucky,

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The first leaf is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love, and the fourth for luck.

I wish you lots of luck today! :)

(Don't forget to wear green!)

I just wanna run,

I'm going to go run right now. I wish I could go outside and run a few miles or something, but the ground's all wet and stuff. So I'm going into my basement on the treadmill. I feel so out of shape.
& This run'll open my mind up again, and make me too tired to harshly deal with people's problems. I think if I start running more often, I'll be able to be back to my old self again. Sometimes, letting all of your thoughts out on a blog just isn't enough.

Just around the corner,

Summer 2011 is in exactly 3 months.
June 15 is my last final and then I'm on summer vacation! Eeek, I'm excited yet horrified at the same time.
...Because once sophomore year's over...it'll be junior year. Oh goodness.

I can see a better day,

I feel like I might not have posted this already? ;n; I have no memory, lol.

This is from summer 2010 at camp. Us three made up a thing called the "unbreakable bond" since we were taking a chemistry course at camp. We sat next to each other since day 1 of camp. <3 And then there's our other friend photo bombing our picture x) Oh gosh.

Today was all strange. We had a 2 1/2 hour delay because the juniors had to take standardized tests. They've never done this before (the whole 2 1/2 hour delay part), but hey, I'll take it. xD I got to sleep in until 8:00. :D And I have another 2 1/2 hour delay tomorrow. <3 Yay. I have no homework. o__o. We had 20 minute periods for like every class and then a bunch of my classes have juniors in them so we weren't allowed to get homework. ;u; Yippeee! x) Christina told me how she was having a bad day today, so I really hope it's gotten better. Apparently, her boyfriend fainted. I hope everything goes well, Christina! I went to key club after school. We talked about all of these events & we're selling "ribbons" & all of the money will be going to charity for Japan. <3 (Btw, for the rest of March [except Thursday] all of the colors I use will be red. <3 HOPE.) Emily & I signed up to sell them at lunch next Friday. :3 We also got our official member pins, but when I tried to get my membership card...they said mine was missing. ;n; Lol. Then I went to the library to volunteer. Rawr, 2 hours of fun!

I should go work on science fair. o__o. It's this Friday. Crap. Lol.

**BTW, you all should listen to Pray by Justin Bieber. He's not really my style of music, but it's really a great song. So put away all of your stereotypes and hatred, and really give this kid a shot. This song is worth hearing.

Beware the Ides of March.
(Any Shakespeare fans out there? Julius Caesar!) :D

Happy Pi Day! :)

Lol. Today was strange-ish.

Study hall-A bunch of us went up the the library to find books for the APUSH paper. The lady at the desk kept making small talk with us, LOL. So strange. I kept nodding my head waiting for her to finish checking out my books. So awkward, lol. I went to my locker and then was gonna walk around aimlessly in the school, but I saw Soyoung & we walked to the cafeteria to get some food from the vending machines. :)

American Lit II-We're reading Death of a Salesman right now. It's so random. It starts sounding all deep and stuff and then it talks about cheese. ;n;

Pre-calc-We moved seats & now I'm all the way in the back. Lol. I used to love this class...what happened.

Gym-LOL. We played volley ball today. My arms were bright red by the end of class. T-T;

Volunteering-I volunteered for 2 hours today. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I actually had work to do. To be honest, I have no idea what section I'm supposed to be in...so I kinda just guess. Whatever. :)

I don't know. I'm either getting more and more irritated each day, or people are just immature, but I find myself annoyed a lot. This kid at the library pissed me off so badly today (freshman, of course). But I really can't believe how, maybe, immature and inconsiderate people are now. They think they're the best at everything, that they're higher up than you, which gives them a right to say stuff to your face that really flippin' hurts. I didn't say anything back to him. I want to prove a point that I don't stoop down to his level, that I'm a better person than that. But honestly, who the heck does he think he is that gives him the right to treat people like that? I find nothing good out of treating people like crap. You have no idea what kind of day they're having or how they'll take whatever ignorant insult you told them. What if they committed suicide? It'd be all of your fault. Imagine having to live like that, knowing that your words hurt someone so badly.

So to that @##$%^* that thinks he can insult me to my face AGAIN, karma's coming. It always does.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

My blog's going under a little construction.
It should be back to normal by next week at the very latest! :)

So today (well yesterday technically), my brother left for college again.

I wasted so much time doing nothing 'cause I didn't feel like it. Lol.

& I went to Staples to get a tri-fold for science fair. Oh goodness. ;n;

At around 6 something, I went to the mall with my parents and got loads of good deals. :) We got so many socks, LOL. They were all like $1.00 for a pair so we had to. x) I also got another jacket that looks kind of like my other one, but that's okay. I got a short-sleeved cardigan from Boscov's. And then I got a shirt and a skirt from Wet Seal. It was like $22.30 for the shirt & skirt, and my mom was looking for $2.30 worth of change. LOL. <3

I also got a hot fudge sundae from DQ. :) Yum.

I did my french & pre-calculus homework. I didn't understand the whole last page for pre-calc. It was all calculus work about integrals or something. And in order to type it on my calculator, I needed to press like 139103941 buttons. o__o. I gotta work on science fair, American Lit II essay, and APUSH tomorrow.

Alright, daylight savings starts in a few hours. ;n; I don't wanna lose an hour of sleep/the day. ): Goodnighht!

Happy Friday!

D I E U  M E R C I , C ' E S T  V E N D R E D I .
I'm so exhausted. This week's been way too much for me. Can't wait to finally sleep in and relax.
LOLJK. I have so much work to do this weekend. Spring break...5 weeks.

This morning I woke up. It was a Friday which meant the weekend was near, but that I'd have to go through 2 quizzes and 1 test. I went to sleep after 1 the night before and stared at my clock reading "6:00AM." I shut the alarm off and pushed it back until 6:30. My mom said she'd give me a ride if I needed to. I woke up again and the first thing my mom told me was that Japan had been hit by a tsunami and an earthquake, as well as how other places like Hawaii were expecting a tsunami too. At first, it didn't register in my mind, and then it hit me. Here I was eating breakfast on a simple Friday morning while on the other side of the world, people were suffering from such a terrifying natural disaster.

These past few days have really opened my eyes on this world: all of these revolts, horrifying discoveries, teenage-sport-related deaths, and now, natural disasters. Here I am everyday complaining about my life and how much work I have to do, etc. I’m just typing on this computer and enjoying the Internet, while Japan has been hit by the worst earthquake in Japan’s history. I’m here relaxing on a Friday afternoon, tired from a long week of school, while Libya is still fighting. I’m at home coming back from a normal gym class, while 3 families have lost their kids because of playing sports. And here I am, so naive and ignorant, still scarred by the horrifying graphics I saw yesterday in history class about concentration camps. This week has been a newsflash for me. It was something to get me to realize how selfish, yet fortunate I am in this world. I’ve been fighting a lot with my parents lately, thinking that they’re the ones wrong, and I’m innocent, thinking that I’m always right. Well I’m not. I haven’t been right for the past 15 years of my life. I’ve been running away from stories like these. These tragic stories that scare me into thinking how bad conditions can be for some of the people in this world. I’ve been running away for too long, 15 years too long. I need to settle down and accept these stories that I’m hearing. And that’s only the first step. The next is to figure out something I can do to help this world, something, even the tiniest thing, that I can do to alleviate some of the pain people are going through right now. I need to make my mark on the world, even if it barely shows up. What matters is that I care. What matters is that I’ve realized that this world isn’t picture-perfect. What matters now is that I want to change things and help. I want to do something for the good of this world, rather than the good of myself. I am finally right.

Hope for Japan. <3

My brother got me a strawberry shake from McDonald's today. :) He's so sweet.
& It was so many people's birthdays today.
So happy birthday to Abe, Becca, Maddie, Tom, and Zach!

Alright, gotta go take a shower/get ready for sleep.
Then stay up like 45 more minutes studying for psychology/french.
HAPPY ALMOST FRIDAY! :)

I'm exhausted.
I have 2 quizzes and 1 test tomorrow. {French, psychology, chemistry}
I have an American Lit II essay {1st draft} due tomorrow.
I have pre-calculus homework to do.
I did badly on my pre-calculus test yesterday. So I'm kind of pissed.
And now I'm all superstitious about wearing my BELIEVE bracelet {Jac Vanek} because I didn't wear it for a majority of today and I didn't wear it at all yesterday. Yesterday sucked and today sucked until I put it on.
I still have an A in math, but I'm not happy anymore. It's time to start focusing. {I barely studied for that test.} Things are going to change a little. I'm loosening my grip on my grades, and I can't take that. If I want to get into my dream college with my dream major, I'm going to need a lot of work. Fun is good, yes. But party hard, study harder. I'm going to bring up my math grade to at least a 96% by the end of this quarter. I'll keep you informed.

I'm too difficult on myself.
But I needed something like this to open my eyes again.
I can't slip. I can't. Last year was an experience I never want to relive again.

This isn't my picture~

But this just reminds me of how much I love it when my brother's home from school. He's on spring break right now, but it's going to end soon. As soon as my weekend comes, he's going back to school again. I wish I had realized how important he was sooner, when he was actually at home. Or I wish that we were closer together in ages so that I could have spent more time with him in high school or something. But yeah, the past can't be changed, and the future always can. I really hope he comes home for summer (at least some of it!) so we can spend more time together. I love it when he's home. I had this countdown thing ever since 50 some days before his spring break. And now that it's here, I need to savor every moment that's left. <3

It's 11:11 ; Make a wish.

Rawrrr ;
It's only Wednesday, and I'm exhausted.

I volunteered today for nearly 3 hours. o__o. Dang. And they were all at the library. 2 hours of shelf-reading and 45 minutes of reading to this little girl. We read Goonie Bird Greene by Lois Lowry. I have some memories of reading that book in elementary school, and it seems so strange now. Lol. If she had picked to read a Boxcar Children book...I probably could have recited it for her. I devoured that whole series. x)

Health-We took our CPR test today. She didn't give me enough time to do everything correctly and told me to fix things before I had a chance to even do it yet. o__< But apparently I got a 100% anyways...weird. Lol.

Oh yeah, so today was Maya's birthday. :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I don't know her that well, but she's in my homeroom & all. She gave me part of her cookie cake. She's so sweet. :) Anyways, so much work to do! x___x. This week's almost over! Hopefully over the weekend...I can...

• Watch The Social Network
• Do homework
• Work on my science fair tri-fold
• Start my mixed media project for Rhapsody
• Bake(?)
• Go the flower show(?)

We'll see when the time comes. For now, I have some more of my essay to write and some chemistry to learn. Byeee! x

Say it like you mean it,

Driver's Ed- Alexandra and I talked for like 20 minutes straight. Lol. It was fun. She told me about all of her neighbors and her nightmares and stuff. And I told her about my dreams and neighbors. LOL. We're too cool.

Uhh. I don't know what else to say. Happy Mardi Gras and happy 100th anniversary of International Women's Day! :)

Pre-calculus test tomorrow. Rawr. Then going to a science fair meeting and afterwards the library to volunteer. After, I'm going home, doing homework/eating for like 1 hour and then returning to the library to be a reading buddy to a little kid for 45 minutes. Then I'm going to eat dinner, work on this American Lit II essay, study, do chemistry homework, and hopefully sleep. WHEN CAN I WATCH GLEE? ): Aasfoiasf;; I should go now and study. Ugh. On the bright side, today's like the first day in weeks that my parents didn't flip out at me. Yay?

These are some of my friends in middle school. I think we need to take another picture since we've all changed so much since then. (JAN.28.2009) This day was so amazing though! We had a snow day & Christina took me and Sydney to Alicia/Holly/Abe's neighborhood. & Dana was already at Holly's house. We took some sleds and went sledding/had snowball fights/froze in the cold. After we went to Alicia's house where we took this photo and just chilled there. We went into the woods after that and just hung out there & it started pouring rain, so not only were we cold, but we were also soaked. o__o. We didn't leave though while it was raining, we just stayed there in the woods calling random people. :)

(L to R: Christina, Holly, me, Sydney, Alicia, Abe, Dana)

LOL. This was like last yearrr(: I miss video chatting with people. <3

Anyways, uhhh. I have a load of work to do, but always end up on here or something. I'm starting to use this more than Tumblr, probably because Tumblr's becoming more and more popular. :1

Oh yeah, spring sports started today. Everyone wanted me to do spring track, but I told them I wasn't going to. Sorry! :( I did winter track, and as much as I disliked it in the beginning, I learned to like it in the end. But the thing is, I just can't handle 3 seasons in 1 year. o__o. I need a break from sports and time to catch up on all of my club points and whatnot.

My school's really big on lacrosse though. Like REALLY big. I don't even think we're amazing at it...lol. But literally like half the school today had their lax bags & sticks, and when I was leaving the gym locker room to go volunteer, all of these lax kids were coming in. .__.

Have a good rest of the night guys~ I should really go study for pre-calc & work on my American Lit II essay. Goodnight loves! ;

I want to celebrate,

And {live} my life.

Dynamite - Taio Cruz

P.E.-IT WAS SO WEIRD TODAY. We had to do things like army crawl across the gym and leap frog. Now my knees are all skinned and stuff 'cause I every time I jumped for leap frog, I also slid like 2 feet to try and finish faster. Lol.

Volunteering-I almost fell asleep. I took pictures & everything, but they're on my phone and I'm too lazy. I had to shelf-read like the same section again ;-; and so I decided to sit there and listen to my iPod while pretending to shelf-read the whole time. And apparently I got accepted into Reading Buddies. Yay for more time at the library.

APUSH-We had an essay test on the Great Depression/the New Deal/the start of WWII. I literally made up my whole essay. Lol. My fake name (we have to create fake names for our tests so that all grading is fair) was Buttercup. Emily's was Bubbles. Andrea's was Blossom. Teheh, Powerpuff Girls! :)

Chemistry-Emily, Andrea, and I decided after our APUSH exam today that we were make a bucket list in chem today. Emily gave me this sheet of paper with all of these designs on the margins from her doodles in history & told me to write some things down. So I wrote in like this typewriter font that I've been testing out...and so far we have things like "go to M------ Diner" (hidden for privacy purposes, lol), "make HP cupcakes", "go to C-----' Bakery", "have a ZooPals party". LOLOL. <3 We're still thinking of more to put down.

This is my Chinese school graduation picture, May 2009. :) LOLOL. <3

You can't even see me. I'm that one person behind everyone. Lol. But it was fun that day.

It was raining, but the pictures came out pretty good. :) We got some normal individual pictures & group pictures. But then we decided we wanted a High School Musical-inspired picture and all jumped. And here's the end result. HAHA. I love Shawn in this picture.

You've got to,

Make a choice if the music drowns you out.

Raise your voice every time they try and shut your mouth.

Sing - My Chemical Romance

I love Alan Brinkley. LOLJK. I really need to focus. I still have 2 chapters to go and the test's tomorrow. AND I didn't start any of my other homework yet. Shooot. Bye readers. :3

Keep Holding On,

Who's to say, what's impossible?

Well they forgot, this world keeps {spinning},

& with each new day, I can feel a change in everything.

Upside Down - Jack Johnson

My mind's on vacation. I wish I was on vacation right now.

I have an APUSH test on Monday, a pre-calc test on Wednesday, and a chemistry test/psychology quiz on Friday. I also have random things to do for American Lit II 'cause we have an essay due soon. School's so much fun.

I can't wait until spring break. Too bad that's in 6 weeks. o__o. Man, I'm so jealous of my brother right now.

My hall at camp. <3

This is when we were about to go to the last dance of the whole session. :(

I miss camp--best 3 weeks ever. And when I buy Strawberry Kiwi Lemonade, it just reminds me of our whole class and all the fun times we had. Asdoihsfsa;; PCTYD.

Happy National Platypus Day!

I love Perry the Platypus. LOL. <3

Just made red velvet cupcakes instead of studying for my APUSH test.

Glad I can prioritize. :)

On the bright side, the cupcakes taste good.

Oh hi there. ;) This is my friend and me 3 years ago on the last day of school. LOL. She blocked her face out in a majority of the pictures & wouldn't give them to me without the smiley faces. I miss this.

Shoot, I need to start studying for APUSH. o__o.

And stop watching The Sing Off. x)

I really want to buy the rest of the episodes so I can watch them, but I don't have that much time on my hands.

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY. <3

Yes, you! :)

Early dismissal today! :)

We played knock-out in P.E. today. >n<* I'm so bad at basketball now. I figure when the weather's nicer, I can go out for a run/play some basketball/tennis. But it's too cold outside right now.

I didn't stay after school for anything/volunteer. I just went on the bus and walked home with Sydney. We were both freezing but too lazy to wear our jackets. Haha, typical.

This is from NYC. The one on the left is on 10.30.10 (right before Halloween). It was such a nice and sunny day and there were all of these people dressed up in costumes for the spirit of Halloween. :) We went to the Empire State Building; that view was spectacular. The one on the right is on 12.26.10 (right after Christmas). It was blizzarding that day, LOL. I literally couldn't see anything in front of me, and the snow was being blown in directly into my face. We went to see Lion King on Broadway though. :) It was good, so everything worked on in the end.

Hopefully I can go back again soon. Maybe during break or something?

Missing you.

Mon frère va revenir demain soir! :)

(My brother's going to come back tomorrow night!)

I like speaking in other languages. >3<,

Like Chinese, too! 我的哥哥会回来明天晚上。

I really want to learn like Italian. Or like German. Both would be super cool.

It's too cold for anything lately. Today Sydney, Shayna, and I were freezing at the bus stop waiting for our bus to come. 1ST DAY OF SPRING = MARCH 20. YES. & Maybe going for Rita's Water Ice that day? :)

I had to learn more CPR today in school. It's so awkward, lol. Though I kind of want to get certified. It's one of those things that I've always thought was interesting. But I wouldn't use my certification for anything since I don't babysit. So maybe not.

I also went to this science fair meeting to talk about our trip in May. She had this cake to congratulate us for our 1st places. ;D AND A BAG OF ORANGES. LOL. I love that.

Afterwards, I went to the library with Andrea & Iris and just chilled there attempting to find more quotes for my American Literature II essay. Eep, tomorrow's Friday/a half day. :)

Hi there. I'm Amber. :)

This is from summer 2010. <3

New beginnings.

It's time that I got a new blog away from everyone.

I had one already, but that was different.

This blog, this is meant to be personal. The posts on here will be about anything I feel like they need to be about. They don't have to sound fancy or even have a train of thought. I just want this to be my blog.

It's the beginning of March 2011. I want to start living.

I see all of these people with such fun-sounding lives. And I want that. But I also want a grip on mine. I've decided that I'm going to keep trying hard in school, volunteer weekly, have fun, take pictures, draw, read, and run. I added in the have fun part because I spend way too much time not having fun. I'm a teenager for goodness sakes. I should be enjoying my youth while I can instead of staring at the computer screen all day.

"Oh, it's time to start living."
