the week so far:
lost in the sweet sixteen for tennis tourney (i had a bye the first round, and there were 32 guys...) i got ripped off since the way they pair up the opponents is by random draw. out of the 32 people, i got the guy ranked fifth. joy... hulga.
got vice president for mu on monday officially. i have no problem with nabil winning, i even think/thought nabil shouldve won, but i have a problem with the way the election and vote counting and voting procedure (esp absentee voting) was carried out. all i can say is CORRUPTION. heh worse than my baskeball league. i guess this election mustve made history.. the only election where EVERY winning candidate wins by ONE vote.
however, nabil'll do a better job and im vp anyways and im really gonna be stressed on time next year. all those classes, vp of beta, treasurer of nhs, vp of mu, interact/beta volunteering. blah BUT i can handle it. i can more than handle it. i'll tear it up. i'll OWN next year.
something that kinda annoyed me the other day...or week was some of the reasons that people gave for denying ppl membership of interact. 'oh he's lazy cuz he sleeps in class' 'she plays soccer alot' 'he's taking alot of hard classes' and then the killer 'come on you guys! we need more guys in the club! oh wait.. he's asian! no we don't want this to be an asian club!!!'
sleeping in class does not show in anyway that a person is lazy. it just shows that the person is sleepy. soccer is at most a two season sport and does not take 24 hours 365 days. why do you think people take hard classes?!?! you think they're crazy?!? they take it cuz they can handle it and if they're dedicated enough they can make time for anything. and hell the last one just shows the stupidity of some people in the club...
but then i have no right to criticize since i wasn't that active last year. but this year...
got to semifinals of japanese quiz bowl. lost by a point. last question 9-8. the round was screwed up. i would say 'baton' (our code word) 200000000 seconds before the other team did yet they would get called on to answer. the ironic/funny/disgusting thing though is that the last question (the one we lost on) was 'what day is tomorrow?' HMMMM we learned the names of the days of the week TODAY. yet we were supposed to watch a video lesson on the days of the week on wednesday AND we were supposed to have an audio lesson on the days of the week today. and since we never watch the video lessons anymore, i didn't recognize the question so they buzzed in first. they missed it so it came to us. HAH we didn't understand the question. so it went back to them and they won. grrrrr i knew that someday the not watching the videos would come back and haunt. grrrr
Seniors are leaving soon. im sad. last year i was sad when the seniors left but eventually got over it. this year i think i'll really miss some ppl. oh vells maybe see them in college.
