Hectic Tuesday

Wow, I woke up this morning, looked outside to see the pouring rain, and my first thought was: El Nino!!! Haha, shows how much AP Environmental Science has affected me. Anyway, so it's been pouring all day and I think it might still be raining right now. As a result, we've had around four power outages all day. Power outages are actually pretty fun I guess although it would be better with more people around. Anyway, it was a pretty normal day except for the rain in between classes.

But yeah, the main highlight of this Tuesday is that we started our evolution unit in AP Environmental Science, and this is a pretty hard unit for me every year. :( It's really confusing and I get really mixed up on evolution and stuff. But then I was thinking about it during the lecture and I was wondering, does it really matter? I mean, personally I think I lean toward not believing in evolution (family influences, etc), but either way, I still believe in God and everything. I don't know...I couldn't really think of any reason why evolution would matter unless it contradicts the bible directly, but any insight?

The Thoughts and Ponderings of a Girl Heading Toward Her Doom

Shooooooooooooooooooot, SAT's tomorrow!!! I'm scared and kinda screwed over, but it's not like I'm doing anything anyway. Pray for me that I will do my best, not that I deserve it since I didn't study, but, we can try anyway? ^^" I'm just hoping I'll do better than the first time and that's all that I ask for.O well, I shouldn't worry too much since SAT's shall not dominate my life!

So I'm considering switching my blog to another place...I'm not sure if that would be convenient or not though? I recently made a website for our school's rocketry club though and it has everything you need including blog and stuff which I thought was cool. And there are a greater variety of layouts compared to blogspot. Hmmmmmm, I don't want to keep switching though. Seems very jumpy. But yeah, any suggestions?

By the way, wowww, miracle, I've posted consecutively for two days now!!! Okay, moving on to my day now. I wrote this essay for my English benchmark ( I feel like I mentioned it in yesterday's post) and I actually thought it was not bad. It was reflective essay about an event that changed me and I wrote about going to DaPi in the second week of our Taiwan mission trip last year. I realized that throughout my essay, essentially nothing happens, but as Ajlouny says, tell every story like it's the most interesting thing you've ever experienced...I think I did a pretty job of that. Anyway, hopefully we get that essay back later and I'm thinking about using it as my personal statement for one of the common app essays. Woot, one essay down in one sitting in one period. Not bad if I can say so myself ;). TA second period was super fun as usual. Kimberly was working on her newspaper page (which LOOKS AMAZING :D) and I was working on the rocketry website (which isn't as amazing, but it's pretty witty if you ask me :P). In APES we went over test answers for the essay portion and I actually did not too bad. I definitely missed a few answers though...especially on the multiple choice portion I think. Ms. O'Shea is so awesome, I'm so glad I got to talk to her yesterday after school and I hope that happens more often in the future :). What else? Heh heh, AmGovHon was pretty boring again. I feel bad, I love Mrs. Bergantz but I sometimes just can't stand her class XD. Maybe it's because we go over the same thing almost every single day. But next week = "1776". YES, MUSICAL TIME! Last but probably the best was sculptures class. My box got fired so I started glazing my box. So my theme is four seasons which is reflected in each side of the box (thanks Doug for the idea :D). It actually looks not bad even though I did a bad job putting the sides together so it's pretty crooked. I'm actually also working on a second box that's a bit smaller. I love sculptures since Mrs. Imerson is so laidback and we can do extra projects whenever we want to. So this box is for my mom's birthday present which is coming up in a few weeks. Hope I can finish it by then! The theme is going to be a verse:

Galations 2:9
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived, what God has planned for those who love Him. (or something very close to that....sorry if I'm butchering up your word, God!! ^^")

So that's the verse on the box and I'm going to have a pattern of leaves go around the box since it's fall and I'm going to have the word "秋" on it since my mom's born in the fall. And on the cover of the box, I will write "mommy" on it and have a border of hearts around the box. And if you open the box, you'll see a heart with a cross etched into the heart in the center of the bottom of the box. Not bad right? So yeah, I started glazing my first box and hopefully I'll finish that relatively quickly. So sixth period I hung out at the typical bench and sang with Julie and drew beautiful pictures of Julie and Girl's Generation and Keroro. Emphasis on the beautiful. Discussed possible songs to sing with Tatsuya too. There are so many choices out there! Basically a relaxed nice after school. David Fujii ruined my planner -_-. Just kidding, it's not too bad but there's not as much space to write in my planner now... XD.

And for the climax, I started rewatching Cardcaptors yesterday!!! Cardcaptors was seriously my love back in elementary school. I remember not being able to watch it because it played during the time I had to get to school. Sad times...Anyway, so it's a lot dorkier with horrible dubs than I recalled, but still beautiful outfits and graphics are great :). Kinda my humor too so I guess that says something about me....Heh heh. Which reminds me. What should I be for Halloween??? I'm really at a loss for what I should dress up as. I really want to do either Final Fantasy or Cardcaptors right now, but then I feel either obsessed or a bit freakish if I do either. I guess it's the same reason why I wouldn't want to dress up as a korean group (like my friend asked me to do SNSD with her). I really don't like the idea of being obsessed with something...it's like denial. But yeah, I'm basically debating between a cleaner version of Yuna in FFX2, Garnet with short hair in FFIX, Yuffie from FFVII, or Sakura with one of her outfits. I'm completely open to better ideas though :).

One last thing: I've been wondering if I'm truly a masochist...People joke around it, but someone told me that I'm always smiling even when people hit me and make fun of me. It's not that I'm happy with that, but I guess it's just my initial reaction to laugh everything off. I guess I'm a bit of a super pushover, and that's a bad thing isn't it? I have no clue how to change it though. Well, for now, as long as people don't overdo it I suppose. Grace hurts sometimes too :).

Alright, wish me good luck on tomorrow's SAT's and everyone have an excellent weekend!

Hahaha~

Okay, random post title. Honestly has no bearing with my life currently whatsoever XD. Other than the fact that it's the song that I'm listening to right now. Remember that dance, Dawning? We must meet again sometime and learn the entire dance and then record it and be cool! :D Anyway, so much for my weekly postings. I've been lagging behind again and I don't think I've doing well with any of my goals at all. At this rate, I think I might just stick to journalling instead of blogging...slower but easier and seems more solid. I also want to switch my blog site...I know...ironic...I just started this blog. But I'm probably going to switch emails by the end of this year...I'm such a disloyal person to my emails. And I've spent so much effort on this blog too!! Wells, I spent a bit of time on the information and formatting stuff. O well, things will turn out how they turn out. I guess I also haven't been doing a good job on my devotions and praying and stuff. I'm hoping I don't burn out with leadership and everything, but I definitely need prayer about that. I guess I feel like I lack support a lot of times and talking to people has been pretty hard at times. So it's Thursday and life is pretty neutral I suppose. SAT's on Saturday :OOOO. I'm really not excited especially since I haven't seen an SAT question in about...a year maybe? O well, I'm just going to take it and get it over with. No more SAT's after this Saturday!!! Now that I think about it...that IS really exciting. Anyway, so I took a really confusing and unhelpful benchmark test today in English, and TA was fun with college applications and being a freak with Kimberly. Two perfectionists put together in one room...interesting outcomes :P. APES test that I failed since I didn't really study...but I guess it was pretty good for not studying. American Government was actually not too boring today. We're going to watch 1776 which I really look forward to because I LOVE MUSICALS!!!! And after school I got to talk to Ms. O'Shea with Norris and that was REALLy fun talking about sushi and food and vegetables and Costa Rica and crazy people in our classes and all that good stuff. We talked until around 5 and by then my sister had ditched me to go home so my mom had to come again to pick me up. I feel like I have so much more to say, but I can't think of anything currently so I'll turn in for now. Good day. O yes...college applications are terrible!
