Last one...

Yup, last Homecoming for me.

The pep-rally was creepy. They had a drag queen contest featuring the entire football team did an aerobic dance.

The game was great, we won.
The Band was great. I backward marched while video recording their marches. The half-time was not fun because of homecoming. The homecoming court stole the show. The only downside of the game was the weather, it was fucking COLD!!!

Homecoming dance was fun.
Dress shoes are really uncomfortable. But I shouldn't complaint, at least I don't have to wear heels. I finally found a reason to wear my nice analog watch.
I brought a tripod. I took some nice time lapse photos of the dance. You can see people's ghostly shadow movements.
It was fun, I really liked it, but the music sort a sucked. There was only like six songs that isn't hip-hop.
I danced, yes I know, shocking isn't it, I danced.
Everyone was awesome. My friends are the best!

Corrupt corporation and academy.

I don't understand why do we have to buy the cap and gown?
I know the cap will have sentimental value, but the cap is a useless piece of fabric after the graduation ceremony. Jostens used to rent out the gowns, but they changed it.
Now they have to force us to buy it.
It is unfair for us students and competing companies. The students can't find a better price, escpically with the economy these days, low price, high quality goods are very important. Other companies doesn't have a chance to even let their business be seen by the possible customers that are the students.

Why do the school allowed such monopoly over the students? Isn't it illegal?

My life bar is approaching zero

I am slowly dying from school work.

I know, I know, you are probably thinking "you are not taking both AP courses, so don't complain." I know I am not one of those duel AP people. So I admit, I am not dying as fast as they are. They deserve much kudos. And I am sure that they will have a much better future than I will.

The workload in AP chem isn't very much, but understanding some of them are somewhat hard. This is my favorite logic base class. I can't complain too much about this.

I love Japanese. I really like that class, but it is really hard. I am behind in the materials, and I keep forgetting things. I found that my background in Cantonese helps a bit. A few of the Japanese words sound a like with their Cantonese counterpart.

Calculus is hell for me. I have no clue what's going on. I understand some of the concepts, but I don't know how to apply them. The worst of all: research paper. Yet, I have to use English to explain math. NOO!!!

I will have to work hard. I need to get at least B's.

Friday Night Lights

The football game was awesome!

BG Unit Tailgated. The tailgating was cool.
There was a mini-grilled. There was no spatula to flip the burgers so someone made spatula of aluminum cans.
I failed at throwing a football. Some one, I won't name who, kept shelling us with football.
Some one also brought in a rocking chair.

Game and Band.
The band was awesome as always.
The half time show was also good. Beth played really good.
Catherine, Kristan, and John did the "head chopping" maneuver. That was amazing.
We won the game.
I followed the band back to the band room. Ben Haubert is one of the most energetic person I have met. He danced all the way from the stadium to the band room and kept dancing in there with the band. The celebration dance was crazy, but sweet.
I took so many pictures and videos. I can make a documentary.

Dance Party.
Nick hosted the best party that I had been to.
The party was after the game. I went with Kelly, Justine, and other band members from the band room.
I stayed outside most of the time. The party was cool, but the dance floor is way too hot. Both literally and non-literally.
The BG Unit guys did a dance for the ladies.

The night was awesome. I am feeling that I am using the word awesome a bit too much in this blog, but I don't know any other words to describe it. Maybe I could have used fantabulous, it is a word according to Microsoft Word 2003.

Back to school.....

The first week back is alright.
My schedule was hell, but it got fixed.
I dropped Senior Studio for AP Chemistry... stupid administration for stupid scheduling.
Lunch is alright..... I have all of the lunches again, at least for this semester. But B Lunch is freaking boring because no one is in it, so I guess I'll hang out in the awesome air conditioned band room with awesome people.

Next week, my BGSU classes will start. So there will be more work.
I guess it will be alright. I am taking Japanese and Calculus.
Sage and Leslie are also taking Japanese. But Sage is taking it at a different time than me, and I don't know what time Leslie is taking the class.

So now, I will be enjoying my last weekend without (much) work.

ART..... ARt...... Art...... art......

I just went to the senior art show downtown. The art works are wonderful!

Philip was there performing on a keyboard. There were also some food.

We had to vote our favorite piece. I couldn't decide. They were all so good.

My favorite art works from the show are by Erin and Alma-Lynn. They are very talented.

Walk around in circle

After getting home from Feats of Clay, I went to Relay for life.

It is okay. I took many pictures as well. Rebbecca tried to stop me.

There was nothing much, I joked around with some friends. Kapil dressed as a woman. We played around with glow sticks.

I left around 11:00-ish. The event was fun, but wasn't very exciting.

So easy a caveman can do it!

Last Friday was the Feats of Clay.

Woke up at 5:50 am. Arrived at the school at 6:35. We packed our wheels and other equipments onto the bus. We actually got a tag-along, who wasn't on the team.

Our theme is "we invented the wheel." We all dressed as cave people. Leopard spots pants and messed up hair styles. We also have dirt makeups and the guys got 'mono'brow.

The bus ride was fun. Every did their makeups on it. Layan made up us a theme song.

I forgot what time we arrived at Columbus. The events were at the art museum/institute parking lot. The temperature was initially a bit cool, but after we starts and in the tent of crowed people, it became mild and comfortable.

The Cylinder Stacking was first, then the Mug Relay, after that is No Hands, last but not least, the Coil to The Sky.

The mug team made 80 some mugs. In general, we won sixth, but we won, with our caveman costumes, the first place in the T-shirt contest.

After that we say around a gallery and enjoy the beautiful artworks. They all look wonderful!

We ate lunch at The North Market. People were staring at us as we walked around looking for stuff to eat. There was many variety of foods there, from New York to Japanese, Italian to Mexican. I bought a nice freshly made New York style sub, named 'The Wise Guy', at a deli. It had ham, beef, cheese, tomato, and other goodness. There was also a few fresh fish, vegetable, fruit, and flower shops. There was on chocolate shop that the other kids said was really good, each small piece of chocolate cost $1.75. I would have bought one, but it was just too expensive.

I was so tired but I still had Relay for Life to do. We arrived back home around 6pm. I hurry home I ate the sub that I couldn't finished at the North Market. I also uploaded all my photos to my hard drive. I took 1GB worth of pictures, about 300 pics. It took 20 min.

Feats of Clay was fun, I may ponder upon if I shall participate in this event.

I suck at rhythm games

I found out that there would be a high possibility that both AP Chemistry and Senior Studio would be on 6th period. >.<

My mom also broke my Prom glass. >.<

But my weekend is going just fine. I had a nice time at Emily's late birthday party. I suck at rhythm games. I can't play Guitar Hero, I can't play DDR, I can't play FFR, I can't play Elite Beat Agent. (-_-)

I got my new portable external hard drive.

I downloaded a new Portal map pack that was created by the same people that made Portal: The Flash Version.

Now, I just have too read for school...

!!nd

We got 2nd place.
Sure, it was a bit disappointing, but still it was fun.

I forgot to set my alarm clock last night. So I woke at 8:30, we were supposed leave at 9:00. I got there at 8:50. I thought I was the last one to arrive. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I was the forth. Meg, Brand, and Andrew came before me. Vincent is next. Then Heather.

Mrs. Laabs drove right up next to the door. When she was about to enter the building, Vincent being nice, he opened the door for her. But he opened the wrong door, he opened the alarmed door, and it went off for a few second, then stop. No one did a thing, so wast is the point of the alarm? No security person came out. Nothing happened.

We were stuck out in the 'air lock' because the maintenance personal was fixing and cleaning stuff. I did get inside and got a drink of water in the cafeteria. I snapped some pictures, and one of the plan for the new Jr. High.

We called Kapil and Ross to wake them up. Kapil forgot about the game, he remembered that it is Wednesday. Ross can't come because of Exam at BGSU. Vincent, Andrew and I also have exams this week. Kapil arrived and we left around 9:15.

We ate brunch at a BoB Even's at Lima. It was quite nice. We had some weird conversations. Meg stole some condiments and napkins with her four-dimensional [censored].

We were the first to arrived at the Write State, Celina Campus. Vincent and Andrew played pool. Vincent kicked Andrew's ass. They played ping pong next, same thing happened. Meg and I played pool next. We both sucked. But I got better as I go along, Meg still sucked. I popped the cue ball out twice. She did the same, but more, in a more fantastic ways. She hit a ball into a corner pocket, but the cue some how popped up at the pocket and rowed along the railing and fell into a center pocket. Ping Pong ball form Vince and Drew's game keep hitting in our direction. Brandon and Heather wanted to play next, but we had a game.

Since we only have seven people, the J.V. team only had three people. Meg, Heath, and I are on the J.V. team. We lost our first game to Bluffton. Then we won all the other games. Kapil helped out in a game when the varsity team had a break. The last team we face is also Bluffton. Kapil also joined, but we still lost.

We ate after that, not much happened. But I did notice how much people were actually at Write State.

On our way back, we played game that name countries. We played it the entire way. Heather and I both ran out of countries along time before Vince and Andrew. But before we played the game, we discussed what state has what significant. We arrived back in BG around 7:35.

It was fun. Can't wait for more road trip with friends. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't reach my picture quota of 150 pictures.

I was and still am happy.
No one knew what was going on when they called us down. Some of us joked about getting into trouble or someting.
I feel a bit sad for those five that didn't get inducted.
But I feel happy for me and my friends who did.

The future?

We will have to turn in our registration from tomorrow.
Damn. Time past by so fucking fast.

Next year, I'll be taking:
Calculus
AP Chemistry (might change)
Physic
Creative Writing
Sr Seminar: Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Pop Culture

I am still deciding what to take for PSEOP


My birthday is also tomorrow. I feel weird about my birthday. It is the last birthday of my childhood. I have one more year to enjoy the carelessness of being a kid. But I have one more year left untill I gain freedom of adulthood.

Oh well. "The more birthday you have, the longer you'll live."

Lake BGHS and the fog

Snow melted, fog arose, lake emerged.

The school drive way flooded,
and spilled over onto the grass.
Oh, how I want some rubber duckies,
to throw it into the pond.
Cars derived by the lake,
waves arose to the shore.
Almost got my pant leg wet,
but I jumped to escape those muddy water.
.
.
The elementary got delayed and we did not.
Oh, how unfair is that?
The fog blinded my sight,
can't even see the next street.
With the fog in my vision,
It reminded me of the movie Mist,
Where bugs from other dimension,
that rip out your eyes.
