Birthday

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY PATRICK!
& HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DADDY!

So today was nice. :) It was Father's Day, so that was good from the start. I went to bed at like 1AM, and woke up at 7:30 to go play tennis with my dad. And after, I kind of just hung out and waited for lunch. I called my brother to wish him a happy 21st birthday, and it was really nice just talking to him. I can't believe he turned 21 today, and I'll be turning 16 soon. We've both grown up so fast. I still remember when I was in elementary school and thought that my tests were more difficult than his. LOL. Anyways, after, I ate lunch and then went out to buy some stuff to make nutella souffles. I got home and made them. Omg, they were to die for. They were probably like 1000 calories each though, HAHAHA. They tasted amazing, and they were super fun to make, too. :) I also got a new watch when I went out, too. It's silver and the numbers are bigger, which is nice. :D
I was supposed to have pictures of the nutella souffle, but I kind of was too excited to eat it to wait any longer to take pictures. Plus, it was kind of cloudy today which wouldn't have made a good picture in the end. ><, I'll make them again later this summer and take pictures though! If you want the recipe, follow these steps right here. I modified it a little bit because I only made 2, but if you follow the first recipe, it'll taste amazing! I might try making the healthier version later though, too. :)
Alright, hopefully everyone had an amazing day. I'm excited to stay home tomorrow...no school! <3 Haha. I think I'll be cleaning my room though and working on summer assignments. Oh well. Bye! (:

HAPPY SWEET 16, EMILY!
I hope you have the best birthday ever! :)
I'm so glad I met you last year/that you moved here last year.
High school has been so much fun with youuu. (:

So yesterday, I went to sleep at 3AM. And woke up at 8AM. LOL. Goodness. And then, I spent all morning huddled over my computer getting songs prepared for Emily's party. I finally got 60 songs ready, and then at 2PM, she came to pick me up. :) And then I put the songs on her playlist, which already had 71 songs. So then we like did the last things she needed to do before her party, and right at 3, the first people came. :) We all started outside, where the pool was. I didn't swim though. /: And eventually like all 40 people were there. And all the guys were like playing pool basketball, except not really. They were just trying to get the ball into the net by doing all these weird stunts. Lol. And the playlist was playing. :) Eep. After a little while, we all went inside and downstairs to sing karaoke/play Rock Band/just hang out. I didn't sing any karaoke, 'cause I feel like that'd be super embarrassing. LOL. And then we went to eat dinner. After, we went back downstairs, and a bunch of people had to leave early. D: But then it was like just Sam & John in her movie theatre, who were about to play Rock Band. And then it was Iris, Sarah, me, and Andrea, sitting in the next row of seats kind of just watching. And then they wanted me to sing. And so eventually, we just went down the line of the four of us alternating whose turn it was to sing. I chose to sing Here Comes the Sun, because I absolutely adore that song. <3 But Sam kept messing up the drums part. And so we kept failing out. LOL. And then eventually I sang another song...the name slips me currently, but it's a Beatles song that keeps going "shoot me." Lol. And then Emily got mad at me for not telling her that I was singing. Heh. And Sam & John got me & Emily to play 13 with them. And then John kept hinting to me that he was gonna cake Emily later. LOLOL. And so we all went upstairs to eat cake. And we took a billion pictures. And then she cut it. And it was a rainbow cake. :D Omg. It looked so amazing, but it was a little bitter b/c of the food coloring. And then John caked her. LOL. It was so great. Then it was around time to go. And we all left. /:
But it was lots of fun. :) I'm glad that I went and got to see everyone! :) She was so paranoid that it wasn't gonna be good, but it turned out great, heheh.

Here's a slice of the cake! Excuse my horrific phone camera quality.

P.S.- Thank you Seth for letting me take a picture of the cake. :D

Summertime

HAPPY SUMMER 2011! (:
I'm so excited for the next three months. <3

Monday- I exempted from my history final. And then I stayed in the cafeteria during it to study for chem. I ended up getting a popsicle from a teacher. LOL. I took my chemistry final. I really thought I failed! LOL. I had like no time to finish. And I found out that I didn't even answer the last 4 questions because I didn't see them. Omg. But I found out today I got an 84. Not bad. :) I have an A for the year now! :)
Tuesday- I took my American Literature II final. It really wasn't bad! I thought it'd be a lot more difficult than that. It was 170 questions, and I finished that in 45 minutes, and spent the next 45 minutes writing my essay on tragic heroes and the American Dream. I started studying for pre-calc at like 2PM. LOL. Whoops. And didn't stop until 12AM. Omg.
Wednesday/today- I took my pre-calc final. We were in a chemistry room, so all of the desks were like paired up. LOL. So I sat next to Shela and Eric. And basically if you really wanted to cheat, you could. But ew, cheating. Anyways. It was 70 questions, all m/c, and we could use our calculator the whole time. It was pretty difficult/okay though. Like it wasn't as easy as you'd think it'd be. I got a ride home from Ashley with Sydney instead of the bus. Haha. It was so much better though!

And now I'm free! Tomorrow, I'm going to the city for an orientation thing. The website said it'd take at least 4 hours. o___o. And then on Friday, I have my friend's sweet sixteen. <3

For the rest of the day, I'm just going to relax, make three cards (asofhasf;;), and I'm not even sure yet! Oh, the joys of summer vacation. <3

Bye!

Here Comes the Sun

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in quite a while, but lots has happened.
Yesterday was my last day of classes for sophomore year. It was so bittersweet.

I started out the day by standing in front of my French room waiting for her to open the door so she could see our surprise. :) She turned on the lights and then people screamed, "Happy retirement!" It was so cute.

This is my whole French class. I'm all the way on the left. The sign behind us was ours. :) And we also had 2 dozen doughnuts, four big bottles of drinks, and we gave her a Starbucks giftcard/a mug with all of our names signed on it. Aw.

Then I went to abnormal pysch. Where all we did was watch The Office. I don't find that show funny. IDK.

After, I went to American Lit. II. We just ate food (I had some brownies, cookies, and popcorn) and watched The Great Gatsby.

This is Megan and Alexandra. The sun was kind of annoying. LOL. They're the reason why I could last through this class all year.

So this is the little flower plant thing she always had. It moves with sunlight/light because it's solar powered. I have a few at home, but everyone in my class thought this was so cool. :) Heheh, they obviously haven't been to China yet! Everyone has them there. :3

Afterwards, I went to history. That was so sad. ;~; Today was his last day, too, because he's also retiring. We gave him 2 cards. One had music, while the other one was gigantic.

Isn't he like the most adorable teacher? He was so amazing. <3 He would always say hi to you in the hallways and smile. And he made so many jokes in class. I'm so glad I had him 4th period. He was saying how we were his last class ever in the 41 years he was there. And he just kept bringing up memories. <3 Aw. He read some of our card where we just like wrote our fondest memories and signed our name. It was so cute. Midway through, Ivy came in and brought a cake that said, "Happy Retirement!" AWW.

The picture quality is terrible though. I couldn't use my flash without it being super obvious.

This is Emily in history class. LOL. We were having a picture war.

This is Andrea and Emily at lunch. LOLOL. Neither of them expected this picture. All I ate was a popsicle for lunch because the PTO was giving them out. And I signed a few yearbooks, too.

Then I went to math. I didn't take any pictures there, but it was nice. Shela brought in cookies. Aw.

After, I went to chem. We made ice cream! LOL. It was so much fun.

I personally didn't take any pictures, but Emily took a few/I stole her camera for the period. She took this picture of me holding our bag of ice cream, but that was embarrassing, so I'm not posting it. xD Basically you put this bag inside another bag. And the salt+water in the bigger bag was supposed to make the smaller bag cold. And you had to keep mixing it until the stuff in the smaller bag was cold to make ice cream. :) So everyone was throwing around the bags to each other because they were SO COLD. But the ice cream was really yummy!

This is Hannah, Andrea, Emily, Iris, our teacher, and me.

Awkward. That's my ice cream in the purple cup! I was standing next to Hannah. And I realized how much taller I was than she is. So I started bending down. LOL.

I went to gym after. And I didn't do much there. It was Christina and I playing dodgeball with like 50+ guys. So scary. LOL. 'Cause all of the girls went to play Just Dance 2 on the Wii. And I don't dance...soo...

After school, I went to the June Fete with Emily. I ended up falling asleep while waiting, so when she rang my doorbell, I was like, "oh crap." But anyways. It was really sunny and hot there, but it was tons of fun! While we were there we saw Jason, Sam, Scott, and Seth. We went on a few rides with them and ran into them a few more times. Lol. :)

Emily with her cotton candy & lemon stick. :)

By the end of the like 9 rides we went on, we felt so nauseous. It was terrible, LOL. The guy on the ferris wheel asked us to look if it looked like it was going to storm or not. And when we got off, he told us the next time we went on, we could go on for free. But we never went back. ): We were too dizzy and sick to go on one more ride. LOL. Thank goodness we didn't go on the Gravitron!

          

My yearbook! It's covered in signatures. <3 Everyone wrote novels, and it makes me happy every time I open it up. The front is like our new school in a tree. The leaves are all orange to represent fall. And then the back cover has green leaves to represent spring. We go in during fall and leave during spring/summer! I also tried to pixelate the name of my high school/the name of the yearbook. But whatever. ;D

I really have to study for finals now!

Monday- Chem. (History exempted!)

Tuesday- Am. Lit II

Wednesday- Pre-calculus.

This is a really large post. o___o. But it'll make up for the next few days where I'm not going to post anything/anything with pictures. Bye!

Say Hello to Goodbye

So yesterday I took my 2 SAT II's. I got there and like it was filled with kids from school. Which was pretty cool since I knew/liked like all of them. Anyways so I took US History first. Man, I just guessed my way through. So Idk how well I did. But then for Math I, I hopefully did well? Idk dude. ><,

I went to the mall afterwards. And yeah. I bought some random things. Oh! And I bought another book. So I'll post a picture another time with ALL of the books I'm reading right now. I'll probably do that like Wednesday or something.

Yeah. So I have lots of homework to do. TT-TT. And I haven't started, so I should go do that.

(Btw, I woke up so late today. ;~; I didn't get more than 6 hours of sleep a night for the past week. In fact, I mainly got like 4.5-5 hours every night. So I was like dead last night.)

EIGHT MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL. <3

Oh yeah, I didn't say this before...but HAPPY JUNE! :) I'm so excited for this summer and everything.

Washed by the Water

SAT II'S are TOMORROW.
So many people skipped school today. But I haven't missed a day of school since pre-school. So, yeah. Not happening. :1
But anyways, I need to study! Tomorrow when I come back, I'll edit the photos I took the other day and upload them! Have a great Friday~ Bye!

Bleeding Love

I'm super busy. So all of my photos I took the other day are going to have to wait!
(Though check my Flickr to see one of them! I haven't edited the others, but that one didn't need any editing, so I uploaded it. I'll put it here soon!)
Tomorrow- French final, Am. Lit II quiz, Math test, APUSH presentation, mole day in Chemistry.
Friday- Nothing really. LOL.
Saturday- SAT II's. SHOOT.

Sorry this is such a quick post. But I have to study!!
And there are only 10 days of school left! AHHH. (: This year went by so quickly, but so slowly at the same time. There were definitely its highs, but a few lows along the way. (Like how I can't go a single week without being tested in all my subjects...?) Alright. I'll write a sappier post later. x) Bye!

Something Beautiful

Music gives voice to the voiceless, hope to the hopeless, and life to the lifeless.

This post is going to be about my trip to PSU a few weekends ago. LOL. This is long overdue, but it's better late than never! Basically, Andrea, Berenice, Hannah, Iris, and I were there for science fair. The other sophomores were Aleks, Michael, and Roger. It's from Sunday to Tuesday morning. So when we got there on Sunday, we decided to walk like 15 minutes to town, and this is what happened. :)

Sketchy-ist laser tag place I've ever seen. LOL.

Hannah: "Can we go there?"

So our history teacher's obsessed with diners. And we saw this one, thinking it was the one he told us about.

Heheh.

Group photo!

The diner had a jukebox! And I put a quarter in to play some music. It started playing "Hey Jude." :)

Inside the diner.

Our bill.

The jokes inside our gum wrappers. :)

The theater that we stopped by but didn't go in.

This was basically the end of town. It was like a 30 minute walk to get here.

So we're at town, and we're walking. Until we see this diner. We go in briefly, to find that THIS is the right diner, and the other one is some random diner at town. Oh.

So Monday was a much more eventful day (if that's possible).

After presentations and the awards ceremony (I ended up getting 2nd. Ah well.), we met with some juniors and decided to go to the REAL diner. Quote of the day: "Yeah, can we not be losers today?" x)

So here are some pictures from that. (None of these pictures below are taken by me! Credits go to Berenice!)

So this is Iris, Andrea, Hannah, Berenice, and Roger at the Diner. I took the picture, but since it was so bright out, I couldn't see. So that's why Iris and Andrea are like that. x) The juniors were just kinda off to the side waiting.

Inside the diner, we had to split up into 2 tables, since there were 9 of us. This is the one table with Andrea, Berenice, Hannah, and Roger. (Berenice is taking the picture.)

And this is the awkward table. LOLOL. If you try to go from left to right...it's Jon, Josh, Kevin, Iris, and me. This was probably the most awkward experience of my life. Like it was dead silent for over half the time. Everyone but Iris ordered a milkshake...and she ordered one pancake. Lolwhat? Jon ended up just leaving randomly midway through...which made it even more awkward than before. But this photo pretty much sums up everything.

Above two photos: Just walking back to the dorms.

We still had nothing to do. So the juniors left. And we sat outside playing cards. This is me putting down cards for the game "Bull" or "BS."

This is us continuing to play Bull.

Later, Peter and Kevin (juniors) came when we were playing Kemps. And somehow they dominated in the end. o__o.

There was more, but that's all I'll write! Have a GREAT Memorial Day!

In loving memory of those who served for our country. 

Crazier

Okay, yes. I've been super lazy lately.
I'm just not up for blogging. I think it's because I'm not procrastinating.
So probably tomorrow, you'll see some more posts.
'Cause I go back to school on Tuesday. ):
Ugh. Only 17 more days until SUMMER. <3

Rolling in the Deep

I'm so exhausted.
I apologize over and over and over again about how I haven't posted anything lately.
But I just don't have time!
I will soon post EVERYTHING. So keep a look out for that!
In the mean time, I have LOTS of work to do. Bye!
