I SWITCHED

As Junior year continues..

I feel good this weekend.
Happy 16th Birthday, Jennifer Ha.
I had fun, hope you did too.

I think I'll blog more, makes me feel better about myself when I talk to myself(or you people) about my life. I love to hate how Junior year has become pure work. From homework, to practice and upcoming performances/competitions, to ASB stuff like Homecoming or Prom. I'm excited to see how things will play out, but to be totally honest I'm extremely terrified of failing. The pressure of this year and my parents makes me scared. I know I wanna have fun but work hard, and my mom shows me everyday that it's possible to work like crazy and still enjoy life. I just wished I had a little more time to sleep or just relax. I can't even knit anymore ):

MADNESS!

There's been ups and downs of the school year...
It's only been 3 weeks, that makes me sad.
Haha I even counted the days of school.
It's not totally accurate, we didn't double check.
There are 181 days, and Friday was the 13th -__-
I think it'll be hard, but there's the little things.
Dances, parties, birthdays, football games, competions.
Those are the rewarding things in life.

I had fun today. AND it was productive (:
Target w/ Alej in the morning.
SORRY, but yay last paycheck!
Tiffany's house to lag and finish the card/bag/box.
Then we just decided to go to Tenju's for homework.
I finished my math homework! And I kinda understand it.
Started my history ad, yay.
I have some random history binder stuff left.
Bio notes ): and english essay.
But at least I attacked it today :D
Got ready at Tiff's house.
Happy sweet 16 Jazmin!
She was so pretty and the party was so wow.
Makes me want one.
Haha talked to Tiffany and Vicky after.
And when my dad finally figured out where I was,
I talked to him on the way home.
I like my dad.
He understands me.
Yay. (:

(:

This week/night helped me realize things. I'm grateful for people that care for me, and show it.

MOM. It's annoying that you always want me home and worry that I'm not keeping that S4L promise, but don't worry. You raised me well. I know I do go out late sometimes, and thanks for calling me to come home so much, but I'll come home safely!

PISH. I love that you're always there to hear my stupid secrets. I love that you're entertaining(and embarrassing) at a dinner table/Wal-mart. It's fun to find pictures of strangers(or not so much) and find pretty girls or talk shit. LOVE YOU.

HANSENT. Nice to meet you. We have so many common opinions on stuff. You're awesome. Thanks for homework help (: haha.

NHANTRAN. Thanks for being around ever since middle school! You're retarded sometimes, but it's funny. Stop wasting toilet paper, but I guess that's just a part of your rich-self.

ALEJANDRA. It's only been a year of 'closeness' and it feels like so much longer. It's fun to talk to you about your types, my types, and everything in between. I love telling you stuff cause you always remember and play back at me.

GUARD. I love that you guys actually want it. That showed on Friday. I like that we finally have a 'colorguard family' with minimal drama. That makes for a wonderful year.

That's what I realized today <3

(: ):

Blehhhhhh. The stress is coming! But it'll be productive stress. I hope it's worth it. I'm going to promise to try extra hard this year.

00 Weight Training Gabriel
01 AP US History Hernandez
02 AP Biology Gerlach
03 Senior Band Mystery
04 Spanish 3 Barajas
05 Precal/Trig Hatley
06 English 3 Sandoval

Satisfied with that ^

RIP my camera. ):

Hansen's leaving Friday ):

Yay for the future playing itself out.

All I Ask of You

I just hope that everything works out fine.
I know that going with the flow with work for me.
It will involve many emotions, both positive and negative.
Smiles and laughs. Cursing and crying.

-exhale-
Reminding myself to take some time to BREATHE.

One Step at a Time.

Thank you, friends. Thanks for putting up with me, even though I'm a 'freak'. (:

To-Do List (for now.)
Make Jim's flyers.

Fill out registration papers.
Doctor's for physical.

Calculate work hours remaining.
Finish work!

Tape silks.
Finish writing flag routine w/ Richard.
Continue to make progress on Big R.

It's summer, I'm having fun!

I'd just like to say, I don't know what's wrong with me but I've been having a different kind of fun. And it's been fun. When we went to see Star Trek at the dollar theater in Pasadena the other day, we went crazy in the backseat of Jenn's car. It was very loud, freaking hilarious, but most of all, FUN. Jack + Ale = freaks, that I like to call my close friends.

After I got my paycheck today [(:], we had a mini Guard party at my house. We are like... the 'super stars Aligned' Get it?! :D Richard, Ashlie, Vicky and I watched half of Coraline, ate chips, watched pilates/abs workout videos, played with my exercise equipment, and much more. I didn't know I could have that much fun at my house.

I don't know what it is, but thanks for being my friends. Thanks for being so hilarious. Thanks for keeping me smiling everyday.

Back to Reality

Life in Rosemead, pretty interesting. It seemed so surreal heading up to Merced for Hansen. Seeing a whole new scenery around with the cows, corn, and huge houses in the middle of no where was just so refreshing to see something different. There was no boba, fro yo, pho or asian supermarkets! It made me realize how much I really will miss my big brother. I hope he has fun, but not too much, over there.

Apparently, I didn't sleep enough on the 5 hour trip back. Something happened this morning, and I had to go to work 2 hours later. Work from 12-4 was alright. I need to bring water so I can drink more. Thanks (:

Practice was alright. I forgot the measuring tape -__- Crazy rifle today... Made me tired. Scootered home with Richard.

Jennifer was talking to me about ASB meetings/fundraisers. This really made me realize that this summer is very busy... which is a foreshadow of my junior year that's soon to come. I'm kinda scared but I know I'll be strong as all of it comes and hits me. I think keeping me busy will help me kick the lazy-ness out of my life because I'll have no room for that! JUNIOR YEAR, HERE WE COME!

Thanks.

Kyle, I promise to respect you more. I've neglected and abused you too much, but I'm thankful that you've put up with it for almost two years. Please stay for me, for 4 more months. Thank you, Sony Ericsson w580i.

I'm sorry Tuxedo camera. I never named you. I'm scared to hurt you, by trying to fix you. So for now, I can't use you D: But I really wish I could. I would've taken you everywhere, if you worked. I hope you make it!

Thank you to you guys. Thanks for being here, especially lately.

FRIENDS♥

Sidenote, it's kinda cool to have stuff to do now. It's sad, but cool, that I look forward to going to work, practice, ASB stuff, and girl scout stuff.

I could get used to this.

I'm kind of enjoying this.
I'm very tired.
I woke up this morning, thinking I was going to sleep in.
I ended up exercising and practicing at home.
Hansen fails at his job -__-
I was 10 minutes late, but I didn't get in trouble.
Worked in sleepwear and lingerie.
Ate lunch and Burger King!
Hansen picked me up at 4!
Went home for a bit.
Practice was rough, it was hot.
We were all 'over it'.
We turned it around, and ended up having fun.
Came home, did some laundry and dishes.
I have a cut on my pinky from the laundry.
3 popped blood vessels from rifle.
And the soap getting into the cut = not fun.
My whole body hurts, but it feels good.
I'm kinda excited to sleep today cause it'll feel goood.

New Job, New Joyce!

Today, I started working at TJ Maxx.
I think I should say it was boring, but I don't think it was.
I organized purses, shoes and dresses.
My back hurt when I got home.
Lunch was interesting, I made a new friend.
My big brother fails at his new job.
I got home, and I felt bad cause I was cleaning at work, and not at home.
I organized a bunch of stuff at home.
Since 'bleck' week is over, I will start exercising again.
This week will be busy.
Exercise, work, practice, clean at home!
Good health, MONIE$, better skills, happy family.
YAY :D

100th Post!

This has been a pretty interesting week/end.
Practice and Taco Bell for the whole week.
Going back to work this week :D = MONIE$!
Fireworks stand has been fg!
As for practice, we're getting sabres! But paying for them.

4th of July was alright in the day.
I stayed at the booth all day.
Lots of different people came to visit, s'all good.
At night, I had more fun than I thought I would!
Hung out with Danny, Paul and Jonathan.
Slept very well.
Woke up hungry, but whatdaya know?
I was invited to go out!
Went to Garden Cafe with Nhan, Martin and Victor.
Games at Nhan's after, and now I'm home.
YAY 'holiday' weekends.
And there's Costco food at home now tooooo :D

Happy Father's Day

My mom planned for me to buy us dinner.
AT MCDONALDS.
Double quarter pounder w/ an XL coke!
That's what my father likes!

Today is the official 1st day of summer!
I have set a summer fitness goal with my mom, Vicky, and myself.
&I plan to keep that goal.

I've beeen bored these past few days though, but I'm not complaining :)
Make some plans with me ;D

These last few days.

They're really stressing me out. I went to my mom's friend's house yesterday, who happens to be married to my second cousin. It made me realize that I want a super nice house one day. They're young and successful (happy too, I guess). Seeing this, it really puts pressure on me to become just as successful, or even more?

With the seniors(specifically, my brother) graduating, the house is of course happy to see him graduate (not that we didn't think he could do it :D). But because of his life in Rosemead is slowly coming to an end, so is his Boy Scout career. My parents are nagging him, blahblahblah, to finish his Eagle project. I believe in him, the same way I believe in myself. We can do it if we put our minds to it. Yeahyeah, it's cliche but now apply it to the lazy Luongs... I made a promise to JaniceTrang. We will be a part of a statistic, 5.4%!

Finals are a bitch. They are stressful, but I'd much rather study for a regular test or quiz. I'm anticipating a lot of these finals to be fairly simple, and even easy. Therefore, I don't feel the need to do THAT much today. My priority was going to be Math - notes, Chemistry - read the whole freakin' book, Spanish - just study/review, History - study guide/review. I realized I left my math book at school -__- and the notes are due tomorrow. After an hour of stressing, "OMG how am I going to it?!", I realized that if I don't do it, I can copy it on Monday morning, and I'd be okay... I'm SO SMART! Hehe TY JenniferHa. So instead of my priorities, I studied for History, ONLY. I really should do Chemistry and Spanish because History is easy AND it's not until Wednesday -__-

My plans for the week?
Monday - STUDY FOR MATH TEST.
Tuesday - Work!
Wednesday - Auxiliary party? :D Graduation.
Thursday - Work? Work on routine.
Friday - CAPTAIN TRYOUTS @ SCHOOL. -dunDUNdun-

I realized I just typed random stuff that people probably wouldn't want to read, but it's alright. My blog was supposed to be just for me to be able to talk to myself anyways. PEACE.

Did I tell you?

I think I've fallen in love...

With colorguard :), seriously.

The past defines us, I'm glad i have a good definition of me. I hope the present doesn't make the past in the future bad. Don't change for the worse! Our world around us is changing. If you're going to be a different, change for the better, please.

I DID IT

And I didn't even believe in myself!

Woke up at 625AM when I was supposed to wake up at 545 to make lunch. -.- We left from Scout Hut at around 650 and was on our way to a 14 mile hike! Little did I know, I would barely make it D: It was alright at first. Break after break, I was definitely... tired.

Came home, and didn't even wanna go to Costco with my parents, or SAVE banquet with my brother. I just stayed home.

Anyways, this was a pretty good weekend. Friday, last day of tryouts (NEW TEAM :D). Shakey's was really fun, the people made me have fun. AND the Lakers won! (: Saturday, I woke up to go to school and work on our project, ALMOST DONE. Went to the park after to WATCH them play basketball. Haha went home, worked on routine and then went to girlscouts. Realized that I already earned some stuff, just need to write it down. Went to Grandparents' house, Happy Birthday Grandmother! Yay Cleveland lost, that's what they get for sweeping everything else :D And yeah, Sunday was a work hard then super rest later. AND we have food at home now :) For once, this is a happy post!

I don't know.

I really don't know why I'm up right now, but some things have me thinking. It irritates me how humans can be so flawed. I'm not sure about some stuff, including where I'm going tomorrow (today). I can't even explain how I feel.

Stupid, ignorant people

frustrate me!
Tomorrow is Election Day.
And also the anniversary of the day that I was born.

Today was just a regular day, school, foood, work.
But some things have really made me think.
I guess since there's ignorant people,
I should play their game.
Ignorance is bliss.
But what happens when Bliss meets Bliss?

MONDAYYY.

School, work, Target, home.

$7.50!

Didn't have my size online :(

W/ Alee on Saturday.

^ Making me look forward to this week.

LET'S GO LAKERS.

Going to work = bring on the moneyy :D

Well for me,

It was a GREAT day, for a change :D
I finally felt like I belonged in chem.
My writing assignment was semi-successful.
I was dreading my math test.
We finally got to it, and when it was over,
I realized the worst is over!
4th period felt so empty.
I ate an ice cream at lunch. YUM!
I made AP U.S. History.
Schindler's List is getting so good.
My moracca didn't turn out so bad.

Went with the Lams to get tickets.
Got to eat chicken and get boba (:
Star Trek was cooool.
Lakers won! :DDD
My father gave me money.
I don't think I have to go to girl scouts tomorrow.
I think I'm going to the mall with Sanlie instead :D

It's been such an AWESOME weekend.

I really don't know how long I can last.
In this misery I call life.
And now we have to go back to school.
With lots and lots of homework.
I don't want to fail classes >[
Must maintain 3.5!
ONLY 29 days left!
(Not including weekends.)
Thanks you guys
For making it worth trying.
I really appreciate
The things you do for me. <3

If you couldn't, then you shouldn't

Then I wouldn't.
(be a disappointment)
If you can't be good parents,
then you shouldn't have been.

-sarcasm-
Thanks for making me feel appreciated.
Like I really belong to this family.
Thanks for making this family so PERFECT.
And lastly, thanks for considering my feelings
ALL THE TIME.

It's a 'free for all' here

And I don't think I can handle it.
I'm not even a little bit biased.
I am opinionated at times.
But I guess I have thoughts about everything.
So much that it evens out in the end.

Everything seems to be spiralling down.
Or at least today.

I'm either getting annoyed.
Or people are being annoying.

I can't handle being a 'failure'.
Well, at least, in some eyes.

Don't even try to comfort me.
It'll piss me off more.

I just need somewhere to vent.
Somewhere to help me realize how I feel.

Sometimes I wonder.

I feel that I want to give up sometimes :(
Especially with school!
I mean, it gives students that achieve a sense of accomplishment.
But it makes you want to kill yourself sometimes.
With results you weren't expecting,
Or crazy homework when all you want to do is sleep.

I would give in to the stress,
But I have things like guard
And people like you, (:
To keep me going.

P.S. George Hill is a cutie(;

It's aaallll goood(:

So, today was champs. I got pretty hyped up and then waited up for my dad last night, and got really tired today. We went to the mall to watch 17 Again. Pretty good and may I mention 'aviators + leather jacket = HOTness' Lagged at the mall for a LOOONNNNGGG time... Finally were off for champs. Taped, warmed up, performed. Lots of gifts (: 5th of 13, not too bad.

To the guard:
Consider The Following-
No one expected us to succeed (:
We even doubted ourselves.
More than half of us were new members.
We got promoted to Regional AA.
Once promoted, we still kicked butt! :D
Technically, we stayed on top tonight.

It's been an amazing season. I'm proud of all of you guys and I'm proud to call myself captain.

"/

Idk anymore.
I hate the fact that I have to hate coming home.
There are parts of songs that I feel are totally me.
I hope my life can turn into happy/love songs.
Instead of the emo songs -.-

I broke my phone.
Lakers lost.
History project almost killed me.
TSS -.-

My clothes came.
The TV was fixed. (shouldn't have broke in the first place!)
Strawberries + condensed milk = my current happiness.

IDK.

I really do hope for success.
I know it takes more determination.
I don't possess this determination.
I hope for better grades.
I hope for better relationships.
I hope for a better guard (in skill and emotions).
I hope for more money (individually, AND for the world).

My day went from BAD to okay to good to okay-good.
Stupid stuff in the morning, tiring practice, good pep talk, and came home to new underwear(:
Homework now -.-
Math test Friday >:O
Spanish and History projects due!
I hate projects. Too time-consuming. Not worth it.

Why?!

Why is apple day being generous to me?
I was doing fine with the 'things are lookin up' thing.
The CAHSEE with lynn was pretty fun yet boring.
I ate a lot of food.
Then in an instant things go from smiley to sobbing.
And it continues.
for hours
and hours.
:'(
I hate this feeling.
I love you guys who keep me sane, well.. kinda.

Things are lookin' up?

I just feel happy. ;)
Though there are still downsides to things.
I was bored yesterday :(
It's so lonely at home!
I've had really unusual sleeping patterns.
So today, I woke up.
Ate, watched TV, knitted.
I started reading for Eng really early!
Surprised? Me too.
I watched the first half of the Lakers game :(
Went to the mall during half time.
W/ Jennifer Ha!
I just wanted to go to get my free underwear!
It ended up not working >:O
But I got a shirt at AE with my 2 year old giftcard :) -ty raymond
A shirt at Old Navy w/ my 30% off :)
And a shirt at Aero w/ giftcard -ty nhantran
FOOOD too <3
And some pretty scrunchies.
24 for $1.50! How could I resist?
I'm home now, and have to do homework.
I realized that a month ago, I was looking forward to the 'future'
I guess I'm satisfied with this present.
But I'm scared of the future...

EDIT I spoke too soon. Apple Day made things feel impossible :(

Thanks.

Seriously. I fcken love you guys.
You're awesome!
Backwards day was eh.
I was sick >:O
I feel bad cause we didn't film.
I was hungry.
Mrs. Washington wouldn't share!
Spanish is boring now.
I'm a loner :(
Yogurt, food and bobby pins :)
Practice was okay.
Helped with Backwards.
Manana, tenemos uno competencia.
Y hay uno DANCO en el gimnasio.
Goodluck :D

I'm so sick.

And it happened so quick.
Looking at old flicks.
Trying to figure out
Where we went wrong.
-NeYo.

Ugh, I'm sick again -.- and still annoyed at some aspects of my life.
I set up my vaporizer in my room.
I'm tired.
I am going to sleep.
I'm not sure if I have homework.
Tomorrow is Backwards Day.
Saturday is Backwards/Huntington Beach for us.

I really pray for a good job on Saturday.
Better life overall! :( ;) 8]
^in all parts of life. <3

If no one truly cared,

I wouldn't be here right now.
Thanks for making it worth it.
Through my nervous breakdown.
I pray that things will go my way.
And I really want the best for life.
M'loves<3

You're hot and you're cold.

There were definitely ups and downs for the day.
I was late to go to school to study for math >:O
and someone contributed to that even more -_-
I felt that I actually did something in chemistry.
We discussed in English, kinda boring.
But at least the book's almost over!
Math; IDK how the test went.
I just pray to God that I don't have to retake Alg2.
4th, was 4th.
Never have a felt like such a loser at lunch.
We were waiting for the time to pass -.-
VickZ and I wanted lunch to end 20 minutes in :(
5th was a sub, and review/economy writing assignment.
&Spanish test was alright.

Walked to work w/ Donald.
Thanks Jenn for boba!
And uh, thanks Hansen?
For taking me to get yogurt,
and be late for practice.

Sorry Kim, but we will now be Gasms Reunited ;)
Sorry for the friendship, but it only gets better.
Sorry for not trying in math, it can't get worse.
&Thank you for an obsession that kills me everyday ;)
I'm kinda looking forward to the future.
-butterflies-

Gr.

idk,
school was eh.
we talked about the drug thing a lot
and i hate how some stupid people
are reacting to it.

work was cool.
i got subway after w/ donald.
no practice after :D
and i actually read.

i don't want to take tests tomorrow.
i'm scared of failure.
but yeayeah, i shouldn't
tell myself that i'm gonna fail
or else i'm really gna fail.

yay, it's friday tomorrow.

OMG IDK

Sigh, 8th grade orientation and good for everyone to see,
but not enough for the Regional AA Judges!

Idk if was good or bad, it definitely feels like there's weights lifted.

This is my obsession.

I can't help but dream. :(

Ugh Fck me.

I hate this day of my life -.-
I woke up at and luckily Hansen Thong saved my life with his english homework.
I did all my other homework in other classes.
I think Mr. B is an asshole. 'It-it'-it's ah-ahm-amazing'
I think spanish projects are ghey.
I think going to work was the highlight of my day.
I think practice was stupid.
I misplaced my phone, and although
I probably know where it is,
I feel so lost without it :(
I feel people should stop being DQ's and annoying.
I believe that it's fcken BS that we got promoted.
I think we will get dominated.
I hate homework.
I love food :D and boba(:
I'm saying bye now. BYE.

WOO. Happy Birthday to Jena.

These days have been crazy. School, work, practice, homework, fooood. There's like no time for sleep! D:

Friday; VickZ slept over when we walked to my house after practice. Made cupcakes, watched tv, talked, and KNOCKED OUT.

Saturday; We woke up at 5 to do hair -.- Rushed to get ready and Hansen took us to get breakfast. Got to school, got dressed, and put on unibrow makeup :D Warmed up and looked at other guards. We were scared because Angie told us that the people that went right next to us were REALLY good because their coach was REALLY good. So we were expecting at least 2nd or lower. We performed, and when we came out for the 'pep talk', we all felt like we did 'not that great' and Angie said that it wasn't our best run. So I really wasn't looking forward to going to awards. Hung out, and turns out we got 1st out of 7 in our color and division! I was in shock forever. We went to Denny's after to celebrate Jena's birthday AND 1st place and stuffed ourselves with food to celebrate. I got home and knocked out. FOOD COMA.

This morning, I checked the website, and not only did we get 1 of 7. We also go 1 of 14 in our division -.- This feels too weird. But today, I will be staying home, eating and doing homework, which will hopefully let me sleep.

This week is 8th grade orientation, and I'm excited :D

Annoyance and Realization.

Things have been annoying me. And I can't tell if it's things/people are annoying, or i'm annoyed, or BOTH!

Well today, I realized that i'm frcken hilarious :D In math,
JH: I wanna kill someone! I'm gna kill you Joyce!
JT; Wait, but then you can't talk to anyone in math.
JL; Talk to Janice?
JH; Ew the mean one?
JL; Yeah! Jennifer, my life without you would be so mean.
JT; MEAN? Like the in ALG2 book?
JL; Naw Janice, more like range but it depends on my mode :D

Went to Popeye's. 2-time-tradition!

My future is awaiting me, and I'm not ready to get to it. I don't like to be stuck in the present, but now I think that I'd rather be stuck in the present, because I'm too scared of the future.

As for cupid, I don't care what you throw at me. I will prevail over anything. With backwards coming, and friends talking about their methods of asking guys, I sit there and think... 'I don't think I'm going.' for my own reasons. I don't mind talking about their problems/gossip, but for now I'm good with listening to others instead of having my own.

And the season starts!

So yesterday was a long, but fun day.

Vicky called me to wake me up at 630, did my hair and got our lunches together in a hurry. Hansen took us to school and we were late, but it's okay we got back seats :D We warmed up and got some runs at school, drove over to Arcadia High School, performed, watched other schools, helped other schools, and went to awards. 2nd placeeee(: ! Went to the mall for foood and came back to see the orgasmic independent teams :D Got home at around 9something, and just fell asleep. Hibernated for 11 hours! Hehe.
I think I'm happy because of the progress. Last year, it was like, 'We got SECOND! to last." almost every show. Because of yesterday, I think the whole team would want to try harder, and have a really good season. Congrats, the 9 of us work pretty well together. Aye, 'BE NICE!'

It's been a while.

Well let's see. So much has happened in the past week that I haven't blogged. I guess I've just been too tired to blog.

Winterball was pretty fun, with the exception of certain immature freshmen -.- Overall, I felt like we had a great night. We got ready at my house, went over to Pasadena Convention Center, 'danced the night away' and went out after. And I didn't even get in trouble when I got home! Too bad for another person who did :( I love you.

Finals were AHHH. So I got 50% on my chem final/benchmark. So sad... Ahaha, well it's not like I expected an A because Mrs. Washington doesn't teach us anyways... I got an A on my spanish final :D No question! (me being conceited abt my spanish skills!) Errr. English, we watched To Kill a Mockingbird which was okay, but I was really tired, felt like sleeping during the movie. OMG, Math is killing me. I think I got a solid C(or worse :[) but i think i'll at least pass the class... [hopefully] Band, was a waste of 2 hours. For one, we didn't feel like doing anything. And another thing is that it was raining. So let's just cover up our laziness with the excuse that it was raining. History was okay, I got an A. Could've done better, but could care less.

So when finals were finally over, we had an adventure. Krispy Kreme, Guppies, and stupid Steven Richardson! It was pretty fun! But we just faced the consequences from my parents because they found out about the ticket. Well, my dad took it easily and was like, "It's okay, everyone gets tickets. This was the kind of ticket that was my FIRST ticket too!" That was a few days ago. And then just yesterday when we get home from my grandpa's house for Chinese New Year, my mom finds out and starts to lecture us(well, him, but I hear and feel like I want to go in and tell her to SHUT UP)

You know how much this is gonna cost. You know all your red envelope money? You're gonna pay for it.

You're not allowed to drive anywhere anymore. Only to school.
-I don't even need to drive to school, I just need my longboard.
I'm gonna write down your miles! If you're driving too much, I'm taking away your driving privileges.

Today, I knitted and ate a lot! and was really bored.

Chinese New Year Resolutions a second chance
- Promise w/ Alejandra Espinosa
- Like JennLam, spend less money.
I can try to resist buying food from Target after work.
- Try harder in school.
Pay attention in math class.
Procrastinate LESS with homework.

So hmm.

I've been wanting to blog for the past few days. I just forgot what it was about now.

Well on Monday, I think I lost my knitting needle :( How will I live?! &I failed my english quiz on TKaM.

Tuesss. Practice was ghey. Haha and I haven't been going to work :(

Wedddd. Failed vision test -.- Practica con Angie. Pretty productive?

Hoy; WALKED AND READ, going to school. I read TKaM in first period, and didn't listen to her 'teach'. And I got an A on my quiz! that never happens. According to Vicky, it was 'fresh'. YAY. It makes me feel happy about English class. Math is ghey. I hate it, I hope my C goes up, but then again that means.. PAYING ATTENTION IN CLASS, AND DOING MY WORK! not gonna happen :D we had a sub for 4th so vicky and brian came(: ! Lunch FOOD FBLA FOOD. History, I might fail the final, cause I have a feeling that these review games are gna be ghey and not help. I just hope that our game isn't retarded. Spanish, is getting boring. It used to be REALLY fun. and now I can't wait for it to be over. Went to Bills afterschool, hung out in room, played with makeup&hair. and stretched.
^Theme; optimism overcomes the pessimistic?
¡I'M EXCITED FOR WB NOW!

Ew.

So what's up lately? Some unfortunate things that have happened in the past few days.

- Nasty period days -.-
- Lots of fights with my parents
- GOT WINTERBALL DRESS
- Left my phone at school >:O
- KNITTED SCARVES

Well today wasn't all that great. I woke up imagining that I was gonna not go to school. 'My head hurt' but enough that I could wake up, shower and get dressed. Haha, well first period, had a sub; pretty ghey class, LIKE ALWAYS. I'm going to fail english, I got less than 50% on my chapter check quiz >:O it was my fault... The math makeup quiz was okay, I might actually pass! WOO. Oh man, 4th period is the hardest thing ever ;] lunch was lunch. ATE, did history notes, and STUDIED! And I didn't fail that either! I have a lot of makeup + current homework for spanish.

I swear to god, I woke up thinking I was gna fail ALL of my tests, but it ends up that it was just one :] idk what it is, maybe it's the friends that I see in 4th, or just the time of the day but no matter how shitty I feel, 4th period makes it better. So thanks to all of you :D I've realized that this life is gonna 'be too short' and yet I want these years to pass already. But then I wouldn't have time to enjoy the things that are happening.

Winterguard :D Pretty excited, for competition and bags (: <-- week 5!
Winterball! fjdlsagjALEalkdfjdslak!
TTYL (:

Back To School.

It's not as bad as I expected. I felt like I was gna die and feel super exhausted everyday. I realized that if I didn't have school, nothing would make me tired enough to enjoy sleeping.

Yesterday was a settle back in day. It was pretty easy but I still had a hard time staying awake in a lot of my classes. I went to work afterschool for 2.75 hours! Haha, went home, watched Secret Life, and lagged my homework

Today, on the other hand, seemed completely different. I found some of my classes kinda interesting. Ahaha, in chem, we did this mini lab which is really stupid but whatevs. In english, I finally got a good grade on those TKAM quizzes and got half of th reading done in class. In math, I actually understand the lesson because i pay attention now. haha, fourth, taught the unteachable -.- lunch, hung out in room? 5th, took notes and had 2 sections for homework! 6th, passed back papers, and i don't enjoy this class as much as I used to... Afterschool I went to study hall with Vicky cause I didn't have my ID. Got more than half my homework done, and actually started typing my community service paper.

I realized that I'm halfway done with the week. Because I have tomorrow left, and Thursday is a late start day, and Friday I have a doctor's appointment[I might come back after?].

Tomorrow; school, study hall, practice w/ Angie.
Bring $40, update music from USB.

LATES.

It's weird...

Today seemed like a fairly happy day, and yet I find myself doubting some things. I'm home alone right now. Usually, I LOVE being home alone. But I've realized that it's only when I'm having problems with my family. I haven't really had a big fight with anyone lately -ahem- my mom. So as I am home alone, I feel lonely. Also, school's back -.- I mean, I guess there's upsides to that. Like uh, I'm not as bored, I get to see friends, and uh LACK OF SLEEP! [THAT'S THE BEST] -sarcasm- Life, just take me where I'm meant to be.

Well today, I couldn't sleep at 1AM and I thought about stuff while in bed. Some random stuff that I can't even remember. Then I woke up at 7AM this morning. I guess I'm getting used to the 4 hours of sleep that I'll get these next 5 months! I stayed home and watched the Secret Life marathon. It started at 2PM but I watched it east, so it was on at 11AM. I guess it was cool catching up and hopefully, I'll make time for myself to continue watching this season.

A few days ago, my brother goes, "Hey Joyce, what's your new year's resolution?"
I answered with, "Uh, IDK... To try harder and do better in school?"
Then he replied, "OMG, that's boring."
It was then that I realized, I don't really have a new year's resolution. And like Ale says, "Fck new year's resolutions." I realize that I give myself life goals, whether it's a new year, a holiday, a weekend, or weekday. And it's up to my self-discipline whether or not I reach those goals.

¡Adios amigos!

Sigh, there goes the break!

I remember a few weeks ago, I was counting down `till this wonderful break would come. It wasn't that great, but so much better than the super-stress and no sleep that happens when school is in session. But I guess having a break with sleep, practice, work, and FOOD was a time to relax. I don't want to go back to school, but I'm pretty ready for it. I realized that if I didn't have practice or work, how bored I would be at home everyday. The upside, was SLEEEEEEEEP.

The past practices that we have been having have been really productive. I'm still looking forward to a great season. WOO.

I went to work for full days, kinda. I'm expecting a bigger paycheck in two weeks :D and in a few weeks, it's byebye work, until JUNE 09!

So let's see, exciting events? On New Year's Eve, I went to the mall w/ Ale. I exchanged my crocs, and lucky for me, it was the last day that RUZE was open. Then there were keds on sale! I got the same navy ones, but they're new, they fit better, and they were $15! :D I also got orange pairs for Ale and Jack <3 We waited for my brother to pick us up and then I realized that I would be home alone. I went to the Chuong household. We had fun. Ahaha, movies, food, APPLE CIDER, and weird stuff.

On New Years Day, I stayed home, watched Rose Parade and knitted. Ahaha.

Friday & Saturday practices... Girl Scouts was today -.- MOST POINTLESS MEETING EVER.

This post is taking longer than I expected

Tomorrow is my homework and Secret Life marathon day. The break was coool, while it lasted. BACK TO SCHOOL IT IS!
