serendipity
I really felt like recording a lot of random things from the past monthish. A lot of these paragraphs are pulled from all over my written stuff.
I keep on forgetting on how to ljcut
New Years was not so great I guess- five minutes before twelve I got up and drank some apple cider. Like two minutes before the new years, my family flipped onto the news channels replaying the NY's celebration. The ball dropped, and I went back to work on apps. I think I might've missed one of the deadlines. Does the Common APP expect submissions to be turned in by the deadline- East coast time or west coast time?
Either way, I don't want to get too far from home; socal but not much farther. My parents would want me to live at home for Berkeley and maybe Stanford :( Meantime, school's getting to be really taxing. I'm sleeping later than ever this year; I don't know if I've been procrastinating more this year or what. But I feel like I definitely have way more busy work from APpsych and APgov. Psych is fun; gov is not. Physics and English are pretty easygoing except Kumar likes to assign a lot of homework at once, but he never minds if its late. Quest always feels like a lot of last minute work; I could do so much better in Calc BC if only I figured out how to use the ti89! feel totally stupid sometimes haha Yearbook has been really fun though... all the little jokes and pranks Chris and I pulled. I need to figure out how to make a chia pet out of a keyboard- if you've got suggestions, it'd be appreciated :)
I haven't really been swimming lately; I tried a couple times this year, but I've always gotten sick haha. Anyways, I've been getting bad headaches- I can barely swim five laps without stopping now! :( I'm totally afraid of going back to practice. Similarly, I'm pretty screwed for the piano CM test; I haven't really practiced for awhile, but on the bright side, debate has been getting much better, or maybe it's only because Dan's in WTP now. Go club has been kinda interesting- not many members; sometimes, I wish there was bit more of that Hikaru no Go drama in our club. I'm doing more community service this year too- it's like my automatic get-away-from-home opportunity on school weekends. I'm teaching myself to sing and hopefully learn a little dance- I'd like to be a song and dance guy. :)
December was a pretty interesting month- my last SCU debate tourney, yearbook deadline days, secret santa in yearbook- I got the office prank :) - and holidays. There's probably a lot more I just can't remember now. I set up my Christmas tree the day before Christmas eve! Talk about procrastination, but Christmas isn't any fun without a tree and my family's crazy ornaments. It's a funny tradition. Then apps and it all went downhill until now! I'm doneee; just need to watch out for those first sem. grades.
Well.. my dad always complains that I don't bring any girls home and then he always says that I should be working a little harder. It feels kinda contradictory. Having a high school relationship sounds a little troublesome when one or both of the couple has to head off to college; college seems so perfect for a little romance. But I guess you never know if you find the ONE in high school.. that's be really nice I guess.
My dad was telling me about picking girls with a better personality over the pretty girls; in my mind, I'm just afraid of coming across someone who gets worried too easily and a short temper. Then it might be like living with my mom again- not that its too bad+ just a little stressful. She really knows how to spread that tense feeling. Sometimes, it's hard to make the right choice I think; some girls just know how to hook you- or maybe I'm just really hopelesss. I get all tangled up for all these small reasons and often it can be soso stupid once I look back.
So there's this junior in my physics class, and I just can't stop looking at her. I can barely look away- it's not that she's the prettiest or that I like her. It's as if there's something magical or secretly awesome talented skills she's hiding; it's like an intriguing mystery or something. It's kind of interesting imagining what it could be- that's what I do in physics when I get stuck on the sample problems. Well, I hear she's a wonderful person- I'd really like to get to know her. It's totally embarrassing- I think she looks back and knows. But then I just pretend to look at Derrick instead haha. Now I have to look out of the corner of my eye haha - totally lame. But sometimes she wears a lot of eyeliner and ohgosh, it's like I'm totally ensnared or something. I think I've got an obsession for eyeliner which is really upsetting. It's not the first time. We should always value natural beauty right? and above that the personality. I get upset with myself when it happens, when eyeliner makes that much of a difference. Unlike habits, I think its hard to change a preference. Ah I don't think I'd choose a girl for just the eyeliner anymore- although I can't believe I almost did a long time ago. Well- that's the story. I just hope I'd get a date by senior ball and NOT go on ybook duty again. It got kinda lonely when I was taking the photos, esp. when taking slow dance photos. felt like I was missing out on so much.
But I'm hopeful! Life is getting much brighter :)
