Update and Countdown
Let's see..I left off last time talking about my goals for summer 2009. WELL, I'm proud to say that I've accomplished quite a bit since then
-FINALLY finished my senior project. It was tough and I had hell, but I guess it was a good experience. Highlights: I met 2 very good volunteers who were with me the whole summer (one wasnt, but close enough). One of them is trying to get into UCD like I am. In case I didn't mention, UCD is now my goal for college because I have serious doubts about whether I can get into Berkeley or UCLA or the private schools I plan to apply for (Harvey Mudd and MIT hahahah i'll have fun with that last one huh?). Best quote of the class: "Isn't Picasso a musician? =D" me: "O__________O HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA"
-i have turned in a few library sheets, but only 3 and i still need to turn in more (i think i only have a week left?)
-i drew stuff..sorta: I have an unfinished Lal (well one of many unfinished works...but this one's recent), a bunch of not-worth-mentioning sketches from my math notebook (=X haha...i got bored in class), and i just completed 3 drawings for my friend roughly 30 min ago (naoto from dogs, nill from dogs, and tsuna/reborn from khr)
-hang out with one of my senior friends at the library: we went there, looked for a empty room, went to the eighth floor which is like deathly silent, found a room, thought it was somewhat sound proof so we kinda blasted music and were making lots of noise from talking and laughing, then we tested out how loud we were and found out we were hella loud, went around looking for somewhere to eat, went to lee's sandwiches, talked, went to an ice cream place (for my friend) and quicklys (sp, for me), went back to the library, then left. lots of fun despite being in a library (oh and i was working on math hw too while my friend was reading at some point)
-make avatars (and quite nice if i do say so myself :D) after like a billion years of not touching photoshop
-list my books to sell on amazon
-read...2 summer reading books (well..i WILL be done with 2 before i sleep today..>_>;;)
-read In the Woods <3 such a great book
-watch lots of anime/read lots of manga: read Gakuen Alice (im actually a fan now XD), rewatched Nana (that was a while ago though), rewatched Kyou Kara Maou (well up to episode 80..), rewatched DNAngel (like yesterday XD), watched Spice and Wolf (meh..)
-ace math class (A- to be exact. it was tough though. i had to like study my ass off so i wouldnt fail the final and stuff. if i lost like 8 more points, i'd have a B+ =X. i think i did okay though ...if only the teacher was better and i hadnt screwed up in the beginning -__-)
other events:
-signed up at YMCA so I kinda worked out for 2 weeks, was busy for 1 week, and now im continuing again
-im going with my friend (same one from the library) to the mall to watch some movie about a mermaid saving the world XDD before she goes to college (TT__TT) on monday (assuming i convince my dad to 1. let me go and 2. give me money D:)
-was surprised that some kids got stuck on a ride at great america for 5 hours and after finally getting off, they wanted to go BACK on rides (freaky kids)
-became active on facebook (i feel so ashamed >_<)
-joined a group on facebook named after my 8th grade teacher (lolll i only joined because such a thing existed XD)
-got glasses D:! (yeah i think i look like a freak, but i actually like the glasses...and yet i still havent worn them after having them for like a month now?)
-saw A shooting star/meteor after waiting for like 3 hours -___- [8/12/09 1:30ish]
-found out that In the Woods has a sequel! <3 yayy [The Likeness]
-took senior pictures...makeup is a no-no for me :D (lipstick is about all i can do..and mascara. btw, lipstick is DISGUSTING period. the photographer creeps me out..and reminds me of one of the teachers at my school who strangely looks the same, hums songs annoyingly the same, is the photography/ceramics teacher, and is just plain creepy the same. maybe they're related ._. THESE WERE A RIPOFF TOO like $400 and that was the least i could spend on a pack -___- and i didnt even look that nice. my face was so much darker. but it was easy to narrow down like 30 pictures to choose from to 3 because i had A LOT of awkward smiles, hate-faces, and plain ugly ones)
-turned in application for fall quarter to take calculus with no problems (surprisingly)
-went to help bro move into his apartment (god i'd hate to live there) today from like 10-6 x___________x so tiring
-going to a college thing on Monday too for the claremont colleges
-dad and i might go to LA again since he's finally less busy
-i finished fire emblem (idk the name) for DS: houses dont give you anything, didnt know you could actually go to villages unless marth visits them (found that out like at the end of the game), got a lot of money easily, used characters from the beginning of the game, what kind of game gives promotion items at the end of the game?, got most of my characters level 20 promoted on the last level (but not all -___-), marth is good but i got confused since he can go up to level 30 and not get promoted, the final boss was a piece of shit (seriously. like what kind of final boss is easier than other bosses in the game and gets KO'd after 2 hits? wtf)
-Skip Beat volume 18 came out in english D: OMG I WANT IT SO BAD
-I freaked out when I saw Kimi ni Todoke volume 1 at Barnes and Nobles the other day. it has stickers too :< i want itttt

OMG DBSK BETTER WIN THE LAWSUIT AGAINST SM ENTERTAINMENT. THEY DESERVE BETTER TREATMENT AND MORE PAY. STUPID SM.
