Woke up around 7:00 and then did my morning stuff, then aznearthdragon curled my hair and then we went to eat breakfast. After that, I did aznearthdragon's hair 'cause she wanted me to, then we sat around for a few, then changed. Left the house a little before 10:00. Went to Golden Hall.. Got a little lost, but not really. Got there and was just standing around outside and took some pictures. Later on, peoplez were starting to line up, so went over and got my card thing and stuff. Then Mr. Hillegas told me and Robert to go in and went on stage and Ms. JJ was explaining some stuff to us. Then went to the bathroom to check how we looked then just went outside and was standing around with Bethany. Later on, when it was almost 12, had to go line up in front of DMD and then we started going in.

Walked in and stuff.. went on stage and went to our seats and was just standing the whole time it took for all the seniors to get in and to their seats. After that, continued standing for the color guard and pledge. Then continued standing for the national anthem played on a flute. Finally, got to sit. The senior class president gave her speech first, then the principals gave theirs and then after that, they announced the valedictorians by school and then we gave our speeches. I was the last valedictorian to give my speech.. So nerve-racking! ;_; I was talking all fast 'cause I was nervous and I stumbled and stuff.. And my voice started shaking in the middle and stuff. Yeah. x_x

After that, the guest speaker person gave their speech and then they started on handing out the "diplomas", haha. I say "diplomas" 'cause it's just an empty diploma case. x_x We have to go to school to pick it up tomorrow or whenever. x_x But yeah.. DMD first.. Then SIB.. Then SCT.. Finally, it was CTA! There was, of course, LOTS of cheering for CTA.. Hella loud, haha, more than everyone else. XD And yeah. Was standing for the whole time CTA peoplez were going 'cause that's what we're suppose to do.. Standing forever since I was the second to get my "diploma".. And after that, it was over and left.

Went outside and was walking around, greeting people and hugging people while looking for my parents and stuff, but yeah.. Took forever to find them! Took a few pictures and then finally found them. Then asked Cathy to take a family pic of us and then we left 'cause Steven was complaining. x_x

Went home 'cause Steven was complaining and wanted to change.. Changed clothes, then went out to eat at some place that I don't know the name of. After that, went to Costco and bought some stuff and developed the pictures, then went home. I accidentally fell asleep and then later woke up when my parents were about to leave to get the pictures.


That's about all that happened today. XP Finally done with high school, haha! Now.. to relax. Or maybe not, haha. ^_^;; Gotta get up tomorrow to go to school to get my diploma. x_x And then on Friday, I have to wake up around 2:00 'cause we're gonna go visit Cal Poly. Also need to find a job. BLEH!~

~Remula

Woke up around 9:00 yesterday.. Got up, ate, and then my parents left to buy some food and stuff and me and aznearthdragon went to Wal-Mart to get some things.. Went back home and aznearthdragon attempted to do my hair, but she couldn't. Then I tried to do hers, but it didn't really stay that well. Later my parents came home and then we decided to go out and get it done 'cause we couldn't do it. Went to the hair place near Vien Dong and got our hair done and then went back home to change into our dresses, then left.

Went to bobbleheadvi's house around 4:15-ish. Finished watching The Perfect Man and then decided to watch Honey. We changed plans so that me and bobbleheadvi were gonna be eating with Kevin and aznearthdragon earlier, so was just waiting on Kevin. He had some difficulties, so he didn't get to bobbleheadvi's place until 5:45-ish.. During that time, Cathy came home, haha. She watched Honey with us for a bit.. What else.. Oh yeah, bobbleheadvi let in his dog and we were scared, hahah. ^_^;;

Anywayz.. Finally Kevin came and we left to go to Seaport Village. Got there and then walked around and then found the place. Ate at the Edgewater Grill.. Got bread and was eating that while we waited for our food. I had salmon and shrimp while bobbleheadvi had shrimp and Kevin and aznearthdragon shared shrimp linguni (?) and clam chowder.

Finished eating around 7:30 and then drove over to the Marriot, parked, then walked around the hotel trying to find where it was. Finally found it and waited around outside a bit.. We shouldn't have 'cause by the time we went in, basically every table was taken. x_x But yeah. Me and bobbleheadvi went in and we went to take our pictures first. I paid $10 while while bobbleheadvi paid the rest ($75). After we took pictures, went around looking for a table and finally got one right by the entrance. Sat.. Later got some ice cream to eat.. and yeah. It sucked sitting there 'cause everyone, for some reason, wanted to take pictures RIGHT after they walked in. It's like, some people were there for 10 minutes taking millions of pictures, moving about one or two feet to the left or right after every couple of pictures taken. x_x

No one was on the dance floor.. It was like already 9:00, and it was still clear. Then, there was some technical difficulties where the music went off for about 10 or 20 minutes. Then the music went back on and then a few minutes later, people finally started dancing. Me and bobbleheadvi went to dance some and sit and dance and yeah. It was hella hot though. So crowded.. It was a pretty small room and a small dance floor.

There weren't that many slow songs.. The first one was for the court dance and so you could only dance to it for a minute. The next one was at the end.. like the third to last song (I dunno if it would be considered slow, but yeah..) and the following songs were all somewhat slow songs. It was Graduation by Vitamin C. BLEH!~ But yeah.. It was that song. x_x Me and Nghia kissed.. x_x I dunno.. I told myself it wouldn't happen, but it did. And I dunno what to think. Afterwards, I was just.. blah.. I dunno.. *sigh*

The last song was Cater to You by Destiny's Child. I don't like that song, so it sucked that it was playing. Oh wellz..

Afterwards, left with Kevin. He drove me and aznearthdragon home. Once we got there, changed, took out the bobbypins and stuff from our hair and then aznearthdragon showered first. Waited, then finally I got to go. Did all my nightly stuff and by the time I could sleep, it was already 2:30. x_x

So.. all in all, it was an.. okay day, I guess. I dunno.. There were many parts that were bad, but whateverz. Can't always win, ya know?


~Remula

MORNING
Ana sewed on the stripe on one side of her pants and we just checked it out. Then in the classroom, I attempted to sew on the other stripe.. ^_^;; Like, in thirty minutes, only got the length of the pocket done. So sad.. x_x After that, went out and practiced then around 8:20, left for the library...


AP CALCULUS TEST
Took the test in the multimedia room.. It was okay, I guess. I don't understand why we're not allowed to talk about the multiple choice at all.. That's so dumb, but whatevz. I think I did okay on that, but you never know.. 'cause sometimes, I think I have the multiple choice down, but I get it wrong, so.. But yeah, I didn't skip any problems. @_@ I mean, I did, but I finished early, so I went back and stuggled through the ones I skipped and ended up having everything done. But yeah.. I hope I did okay on that section, 'cause on the free response section, I didn't do as well, IMO. I dunno.. On the slope fields one, I didn't get the right function when I integrated.. BLEH! And the cars turning one was hard too.. BLAH! Whatevz.. I sucked.. Oh wellz.

After the test, we had pizza.. BLAH!


AP CALCULUS
After we ate pizza, the bell rang and we had to go to our third period.. Sat in a circle and kinda talked about the test, even though we weren't suppose to.. Then Ms. Lee gave us a letter and it said that she was gonna go back to school for PhD and stuff..

After that, had free time and I went to Mr. Tran to get my transcript and I asked about my rank and he said two.. He wouldn't tell me who one was, but when he pulled it out to look, it was far away, but I could distinctly make out Robert's last name and I think his GPA said 3.97, but I'm not sure.. The one underneath it looked like 3.94 and seeing as I'm #2, that would be mine, but the transcript was updated with teh first half of the grades for this term already and on that, it says I have a 3.97, so.. I say I deserve rank one, damnit! >O But yeah.. with the second A I get in AP Calc, it should bump it up to 3.98, but by then it'll probably be too late to be Valedictorian.. ARGH! I'm so mad.. now it's like, what's the point of even trying if I can't be Valedictorian? I"m tired to being second best, 'cause that's not good enough. In middle school, it should have been mine, but I didn't get it and stupid Nick had to steal my glory for being Salutatorian too! And now, I say it should be mine, but it looks like Roberts taking that away from me. *sigh* I can't win, can I? How does he have better than me if he graduated early ((according to a few people, he did, but I dunno..))? Whatever.. Life hates me. I know it. I just want to die now. Makes me so mad that I can't be number one for once.. WTF man..


ART
Presented.. That's about it.


AFTER SCHOOL
Went to Gallegos and she fixed my letter.. Then practiced.. That's about it..


Finished my honors application.. BLEH.

Got an e-mail from Stenner Glen and they confirmed I have a room already, so yay.


~Remula

MORNING
Ahh.. The Senior Portfolio was due today. It was also Late Start, Pep Rally, and Advisory. XD So yeah.. You can just imagine my morning, haha. XP Got to school around 7:00 as usual and was just in the office the whole time at Col.'s computer just printing and putting my stuff in the sheet protectors. That took like.. an hour or so.. x_x I mean, it wasn't exactly HARD work, but still tedious and I just wished it would be done sooner, lol. ^_^;; But yeah.. After that, practiced Unarmed.. Then just hung in the range for a while until the bell rang at 10:00.


ROTC
They did PT, then a little sports, then drilled. I was helping Hadi and Smith with the rifle for the CG for the LV Parade. That's about it.. So happy that classes were only 49 minutes instead of 90. XD


GOVERNMENT
Took our judicial branch test.. I dunno how I did.. Ehh, I guess. After that, just worked on math homework for a few minutes before the bell rang.


LUNCH / PEP RALLY
Tried to get food since I was starving, but it was taking too long, so just went back to RO. Practiced our Pep Rally routine and then later went into the gym. We were right after the yelling stuff.. x_x So noisy.. BLEH! Just went out and did our thing. It sucked. I messed up 'cause I did Cheerleader when I was suppose to do No-Nos, lol. But I caught myself and fixed it.. x_x BLEH! But whatevz. Much rudeness with everyone yelling their years and stuff and not giving us the slightest bit of respect.. I mean, come on.. And then we marched off when we were done and Armed was about to go, but right after we left, they start yelling like there wasn't another preformance coming. I mean, gosh.. so rude! Armed was just standing there, waiting for them to quiet a little so they could march in, but they were al being loud. In the end, they just started and marched in. Everyone was still yelling though, but it died down once they started banging their rifles since it's a gym and it hella echoes. They're so lucky they have the rifles 'cause if nothing else, they can get everyone's attention with their loud banging 'cause you can't really scream that much over it. Then they did their pyramid and bobbleheadvi was going up, but he slipped on the second step, haha. Me, aznearthdragon, Cathy, and Victoria were all cheering once they got in position for bobbleheadvi to go up, and right when people start catching on, he goes back down and starts over, lol. Dork. XP But yeah, he went up there and there was cheering.. He did his bonzai or whatever to Teng and he caught it (behind bobbleheadvi) and yeah.. Then they reformed and marched with their outro... "WE. ARE. SEXY! SEXY SEXY SEXY!~" hahah. XP After that left, 'cause didn't want to be in there anymore.. Went back to RO and ate a cup of noodle 'cause I was starving.. Just hung in the range eating, haha.


AP CALCULUS
Went to the front of the school and did a little video thingy where we just said "Thank you from the 2006 AP Calculus Class" or whatever to the camera.. After that, went back and took our quiz and that was it.


ADVISORY
Me and Selassie were trying to turn in our portfolios 'cause we wanted to be rid of it, but Mr. Garcia wasn't taking it! >O Finally, he started taking role, but he was collecting portfolios in that order too! >O That's fine and dandy for Selassie since she's the first one, but I'm near the end! >O So after about five minutes, I was like, forget it and went over to Mr. Garcia, stood there for like three minutes and then finally he took mine. Selassie told me he was checking them, so I was standing there waiting. He opens it and flips past the cover page, looks at the table of contents, then looks at me and says, "Do have your portfolio?" and I was like, "Yeah" and then he just closes it and puts it on the floor. x_x Geez, "Do you have your portfolio?" WTF?! Of course I have it! You're holding it in your hands! >O That was like the dumbest question.. But whatevz. Just went back to my computer and relaxed, haha. Everyone in there was stressing and trying to finish and stuff.. I saw someone doing their FAFSA too! So dumb, but whatever. That's all them. I didn't even feel sorry for them. It's their bad if they didn't finish and turn it in today, so.. Their problem if they can't go to prom and grad night and all the other senior stuff.

I can't believe the teachers were even letting them work on their portfolios during class and stuff! They shouldn't let them. I mean.. come on.. that's not fair. Me and Selassie were all like, "Oh, I hope the printer runs out of ink and there's no more paper" 'cause everyone was crowding the printer and stuff.. I wished the computers crashed and they didn't save their work, haha. I don't even feel bad for those thoughts 'cause they had, what.. seven months to work on this? They've known about having to do one since freshman year, so it's not a surprise! But whatevz..

I remember in the beginning of class, Joann was like, "Oh.. Do you guys have yours done?" to me and Selassie and we were like, "Yeah, do you?" and she was like, "No.. I have *list and list and list*.. What do you think I'm missing?" Umm.. "What do you think is missing", anyone? That was like the dumbest question. She was like, basically missing everything. She didn't have any reflections, didn't have a scholarship, college, FAFSA, budget, or transcript. On the last day, you can't ask, "What do you think I"m missing" 'cause.. no. It just doesn't work that way. x_x


ART
Didn't really do anything.. went on the computer for a while and that's about it..


AFTER SCHOOL
Practiced.. that's about all.


Tomorrow is LV Parade. x_x Gotta be at school at 8:30.. Bleh!

~Remula

MORNING
Was in the office most of the time, doing the stupid COIN thingy.. I dunno if it's necessary for the senior portfolio since it's not on the checklist, but it's in the packet, so.. yeah. x_x I dunno. Did it anyway..


ROTC
Talked about the parade for a bit, then everyone was working on their service learning projects.. BLEH! I was doing some other stuff and was in the office half the time and in the classroom the other half.. Everything is so frustrating... >O


GOVERNMENT
Took notes.. BLEH!


LUNCH
Watched Armed practice.. that's about it.


AP CALCULUS
Went over some homework, then had our quiz.. BLEH! After that, went over more homework.


ADVISORY
Had to go to 301 and then the senior advisory teachers were just talking about the senior portfolio and how it's due on Friday, blah blah blah.. Then they said somehing about how when we present, we have to have pieces of work from our other classes and stuff.. and it's like, I remember the paper they gave us in the beginning that said we needed three pieces each class, but damn, I don't have that. If it was like.. one per core class, then I can do that. But not three.. And then we need to have something from either construction, engineering, or architecture class, and it's like, I don't have shit. Riego denies that he has my portfolio from his class, but I know he does! >O And the computer IDs were all changed this year, so I dun even know if they still have the back-ups for our old files, and if they don't, then I don't have shit from architecture. x_x


ART
Just worked on my senior portfolio a little.. the rest of the time, just read fics.. ^_^;; BLEH! Don't feel like working, ya know? x_x


AFTER SCHOOL
Practiced.. We're almost done with the routine, yo! Hahahah! XP BLEH! After that, worked a little on Pep Rally.. It was so dorky, lol. We (me, aznearthdragon, Cathy, and Victoria) kept laughing whenever we'd mess up and also when we were doing the routine 'cause it's so lame, haha. But then again, what can you expect from an Open House routine? Designed for limited space and all.. XP


Worked on my budget and reflection. Only two more things.. porfolio reflection and table of contents...! I can do it, damnit! >O I guess I'll bring it to school tomorrow, haha. Work on it in fourth period or something. x_x


This made me hella mad today... I just came back from dinner, and this was the first thing I see when I get to the computer...

fhuking viet (6:55:30 PM): NICE U DIDNT GET MAD TODAY

WTF is that?! Who the hell DOES that? How the fuck is someone from my first period gonna say that shit to me? That's so offensive.. OMFG. Damn freshmen don't know anything.. ARGH! Can't even explain properly. Whatevz.


Anywayz.. Other news..

I got accepted to UC Merced! LOL! I just got it in the mail today. That makes a total of three colleges, two of which I didn't apply for. Makes me feel a little better, I guess. ^_^


Accepted:
- Cal Poly SLO
- UC Riverside
- UC Merced

Rejected:
- UCLA
- UC Berkeley


I need to make a list of where people are going.. So I can know that I won't run into anyone at Cal Poly. Only like.. two or three people at school know where I'm going right now, and I don't fancy telling others until I know that I won't have to see them. And if I do, I'll at least know to avoid them. XP But yeah.. I don't want people at school knowing where I'm going 'cause I don't want to run the risk of some person I don't like going up to me and saying, "Oh, we're going to the same school!" and all.. I'd rather know so I can avoid seeing them at school so they don't have the chance to ask me, hahah. I'm so mean. XP

'Kay.. Gotta go.

~Remula

MORNING
Just hung in the classroom.. Around 8:00-ish, went to the CTA office and asked if they wanted a color guard and a preformance or just a color guard tomorrow for the CTA Open House. They just want a color guard, thank goodness. XD After that, went back to RO and then at about 8:10, went to Ms. JJ's class to turn in my money. Then went back to RO and the bell rang.


ROTC
Did a few minutes more of the PT command stuff, then finished our survey thingies. After that, went out and drilled with the rifles. Damn, they suck so much and we haven't even gotten to marching.. *sigh* It's like, I know I can't send any of my leaders up to the NCO Board. x_x Well. Maybe I can send Nadia and Heather.. They know how to drill, but I think they need a bit of work.. They'll probably pass though. I'll probably only put them up for sergeant 'cause I don't think LET1s should be staff sergeant, even if they're been there for a term already.. I don't want to send McMartin up for staff sergeant for that reason too. Maybe later on in the year.. like April, I'll consider it, but right now.. No.

A few minutes before the bell, put up the rifles and damnit.. I succumbed and talked to bobbleheadvi again. >O Damn.. >O *sigh* x_x BUT! I'm STILL mad at him! >O


GOVERNMENT
Went to the library to use the computers.. Had to check out Congress.org and look at the bills to try and get ideas for the bills we have to make.. And if we had ideas, we were suppose to research it.. Of course me and Selassie have nothing 'cause we're lame like that. x_x Mrs. Gallegos said to choose something we're passionate about so we can support it better, but it's like.. We're so blah about everything. @_@ BLEH!~ Oh wellz.. we'll find something.. I hope.


LUNCH
Since I was already up near the quad from being in the library, went to the cafeteria to get my lunch. After I got it, was looking for Jostens so I could buy my cap and gown. Saw bobbleheadvi and followed him into Ms. JJ's class to ask about it since she's the senior class advisor and Jostens wasn't there. Then we just left and when we went out the door, saw Jostens, so went and stood in the huge-ass line and it took forEVER! >O But finally, it was my turn and since I bought a class ring, the cap and gown was free. Yay!~ XP When I got up there, I was like, "I bought a ring, so..." and the dude was like, "Do you have it with you?" and I was like, "..No.. I have it at home.." and he was like, "*writes* Okay, when I get back to work, I'll check" hahaha. I knew I should have brought my ring along with me as proof today, lol. ^_^;; I know, I know.. I bought a ring and I don't even wear it, but damn, it's heavy and like.. I don't know.. When I did wear it ((ONCE)) it was bothering me so much, lol. And then after school, my hand felt like it would fall off 'cause slapping with a heavy ring = BIG NO-NO, lol. After I turned in my form for the cap and gown, went back to RO and the bell rang.


AP CALCULUS
Went over the homework.. That's about it..


ADVISORY
Just went on the computer and was looking up scholarships.. Damn, it makes me stressed to find all these scholarships I want to apply for then realize that, DAMN, I'm already so busy and I keep trying to squeeze in more scholarships. x_x But whatever.. I guess that's just the way it is.. x_x I need to find a better way to organize all this scholarship stuff.. I have it on LJ, but I can't get on LJ at school. I e-mail myself the links, but it's all random.. I think I'll have to start a notebook, lol. BLAH!~


ART
Worked on art project.. I'm so NOT finished at ALL, lol. ^_^;; Oh wellz.. I think I'll take it home tomorrow 'cause I want to try and turn it in on Friday for extra credit.. If I don't finish, then I guess I'll just have to turn it in when it's due on Monday.


AFTER SCHOOL
No one was around. x_x Squad and Platoon practice with about.. ten or so people. x_x Probably 'cause it was SCT Open House or something.. A lot -- okay, it was only four, lol -- of the guys went to get their uniform stuff 'cause they had to do the color guard and later a preformance for the Open House.


I did tonight's math homework ((YAY!~)) and finished one of the other older assignments.. Only two or three more to do before I'm caught up, mwhhahahahahah!~ XP Now if I could just remember to turn them in... ^_^;; It's times like this that make me so happy that she doesn't really care ((most of the time)) if we turn in assignments late, lol. 'Cause if she did.. Then I'd almost never get any homework ((extra)) points at the end of the grading term. Well.. it wouldn't even affect my grade at all, but still, lol. It's the principle! In case I ever fail a test or.. something, lol. XP


Gonna go now.. Lates.
