Man this week has been so stressful and it is only Monday. I have basically came up to the conclusion that I am going to fail all my AP exams. I get only half of the multiple choice right in History  because I never remember elections or what-not. For english, my essays in the class have only been 4's or 5's and when I took pratice multiple choice part of the exam I only got half right (being embarassed because everyone else only missed like 10-20) which means I will get a 3 on the exam. As for french, well I am going to bomb it because my teacher (as nice as she is) never really prepared us and I get half wrong on reading, I get only around 11 right on listening (out of around 30), my speech is only ok and my grammar sucks. I feel like all these have been a waste because I am not smart enough to grasp information.


Well there is my rant. Anyone who is taking AP exams, good luck.

Long time no see. I have not been able to post much because I have been busy. Last week I went to Japan Bowl in D.C to partake in a competition. It was really fun and I took a lot of cool pictures (one has to look on Facebook to see them). Man, it just hit me that there is one month left until AP exams. I am taking three but the US History one is the only one I can really study for (AP French is an either "You know it or you don't" while I don't know how you can study for AP English). I am trying to read one chapter of my princeton review a day, so far it is...working.

Ahaha today was fun, I was relaxed knowing that I don't have to take any more notes in history. We took a mock exam and I felt confident about it except for some questions that asked about the 80s (we didn't even go over that) and some I just couldn't remember. Yet, I am sure I did quite well on it (watch me fail it anyway). By the way Allison, if you are reading this, sometime we should get together again and do another AP study group like last year :)

As for SATs, well I did bad. I mean I did ALRIGHT on writing (610) and ehh on Reading (580(?)) but I failed the math (400 something). I got a 1650 around overall but it is pretty bad. I am sure the fact that I omitted like 7 math problems for each section may have had something to do with it, my calculator died with FRESH batteries at the beginning of the test. Next time I am bringing 10 spares.

Next year I am planning to challenge myself more, make myself look more presentable to college. I may change from level pre-cal to preAP (god forbid I get Koffey) and all my other classes are basically AP (suicidal anyone?). I also am going to try to do more service such as participating in NEHS, NHS, Nat'l Jap Honour Society, Maybe Model UN, and if they bring it back, French Club and French NHS. I may also volunteer at the library with my friend.

Well, that is basically what has happened since I last wrote, yea not much. I have so much for english, Catch-22 is a great book but I am scared shitless for the test (Sparknotes anyone?). Nice to vent my stress. Adieu.

Ahh I am so tired. Right now we are trying to basically stay up all night because technically we have to wake up at 3 am to head to the airport.I am not looking forward to going to school, I will have so much to make up DX.

Fun Fact: We totally found Hello Kitty toilet paper and I am so bringing it down. I am debating on whether we are going to use it cause I mean it is too cute to use.


If you are looking for movies, an animated movie called "The Illusionist" is really good.

Ahaha I should post more often, but too busy (I highly doubt many read but it is ok). Spring Break is almost over (well mine it technically extended till tuesday because we are stuck here in Guatemala until then (I honestly am not the most happy about it).

I think we are corrupting our exchange student too much. She knows so many cuss words oxo;;;; But we are having fun. John is here and our good friend Daniel is here as well.

There is a convention going on in Houston that I can't attend. Of course, I wouldn't be able to go because I have NO MONEY. Hell while I was here I brought 30 dollars and spent all of it on food.

hmmmmmm....

Ahh this week has been interesting. Asian Ashley has been here like everyday, she is so short and so adorable, it is so funny to see Iku and Ashley together (apparently Iku has a fear of Houseflies and she depends on Ashely to kill them XD). Ugh So busy though, I have to write a research paper and I had to chose a hard topic (well I find info, but it is a bit repetitive in each source so I need to find a way to use at least one thing from each). I can't wait for the weekend, springbreak nears also :D!!! (wish I was going to Matsuri D;)

Well back to history....


Ok this may sound weird, but I actually want to watch "America's Greatest Otaku"..For some reason I can feel I will get good humour out of it and it will make me feel much smarter XDD Plus something tells me it would be hilariously entertaining.

...a really long time since I have posted XD I have been so busy lately, school isn't friendly. Not much happened but biggest news I can give is that I have a Japanese exchange student living at my house :D Her name is Iku, she is so fun, especially when she gets excited (which is a lot). We have been hanging out, we even went to Rice for a speech contest thing (I didn't win but I was having a blast). Right now my schedule is hard, SAT preparations, Research paper for english, and College decisions. I will post more later, I am tired as wow.

Ahh Mondays, sometimes you love them, most of the times you hate them, too bad I fell into the large gap. Finals are rather crushing down on my soul; most of them would seem easy, and some, I can tell, will be. However, of course because fate loves me so much, all my AP classes are the first finals I take. Wish I could jump into an oncoming train right now.

To make matters worse, 2/3 of them are based on AP exams (so one can't really study for it) and if it didn't seem bad that this boulder of stress has landed on me (cheesy metaphors are cheesy), English was the first to strike. In english, there is nothing I do worse at than at the multiple choice, I always am "on the bubble", bordering mostly between bad and good. Of course, our whole exam was multiple choice with at least 5 readers (two of them, I believe, were WHOLE chapters). Just the reading itself began to wear me down, then thinking about all those questions that I would at least have to decide 50-50. I am sure I failed this exam, there goes my B in that class.

Tomorrow I have French, can't prepare for that either. What I am worried about most is the essay. We already got our prompt, but it is something that even in english I would have a hard time writing a good 2-3 paragraphs about (basically it says "Today in an impersonal world, what is the role of friendship in the lives of the young(sters)?") this topic in english.
Of course a speaking project I had to work on for french that I spend all Sunday week before (last day of winter break) could not play sound, and the recordings I have are missing some files, so now I have to find a way to show her the video before the week's end.

APUSH I am not too worried about. With history, if I see the question and the answers I will most likely remember it. I feel really bad that I couldn't get with my study group (especially when I suggested it), my dad always plans against me (good-bye Anime Matsuri).

On another note other than school, I told my dad I wanted to play the violin, he said "Isn't it a bit too late for that? You have to spend years learning it". What? Aren't I supposed to have decades of life ahead of me? Or is there something he is not telling me. I really want to learn, I love its sound and I love the idea of creating peaceful music through my hands. I remember at a friends sleepover last Saturday, one of her friends played the guitar, it was so peaceful I seriously almost cried (what a ninny), and she only learned for three years and she could already make such lovely tunes. Who says it is ever too late to do that?

Normally people start off their entries being all cheery. I, however, am not a festive person; hell while everyone was partying I was playing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (finished the 2nd one because I have no life, and damn Leonardo let himself go grooming wise in one year D:<!) and eating Lays, and all I did was pause my game, waited one minute for it to go to midnight, and as soon as it did I took a sigh of relief and jumped off a tower. I did not want to bid 2010 adieu in a festive manner, that year sucked, and I shall summarize it with this thing I stole from <lj user=lindotomate>:



That is my 2010 Summary, I pray to any divine power this year is better.

( My First Drawing of 2011 )

Hello anyone who still reads this! Happy (late) Christmas!!! I enjoyed this christmas, I got some great stuff :D. My sister (course we share) got an xbox 360 XDDD Yes we are going to be such losers now. We also got some games for it, my favourite, however, is "Left 4 Dead 2", get to kill zombies and stuff with a group and it is really fun and I am actually good at it. I also got some shirts and a 100 dollar gift card for forever 21 (Allison if you be reading this, we should totally go to the mall XDD). I also got a game called "Assassin's Creed". It is a bit laggy on my PC but it is soo fun cause you get to climb walls, assassinate, and kill Teutonic Knights (game takes place during the 3rd Crusade), I want to get the Brotherhood one for xbox so you can assassinate with friends in italy XD. Also got Prince of Persia for computer which I look forward to playing (man I sound like such a nerd) and some Money.

But that is all I have to say, I now will spend the rest of the week playing xbox or assassin's creed. Even though they don't seem like it, I think ALLISON and TANIA should play too, I know they will have fun XD, especially killing zombies.

Tah!




....I need to draw more...

I have been busy lately and I barely had time on my rather open schedule to draw (seriously, it happens), but I did work on a couple of pieces today. Both of these pieces are bad in my opinion, but alas, too late to fix them.

Cheers.



This. I don't know what happened but it does not look right. Worst of them all orz;;
