WEEKEND... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I bet Labor Day is the single most cherished day off from school. You might think it'd be winter vacation or spring break... but Labor Day is right after school starts. By the time you get any other break, you're used to school. So a break from that is an added bonus. Labor Day gives you a kind of trial period... school takes away your summer for a while, but Labor Day gives you some back so you don't have to go through total summer withdrawal. Ahhh... the yummy goodness of Labor Day weekend. Finally.

So I survived my first week of high school.. this is good. I actually was able to open my locker every time I tried today. Yesterday though, I had to go to the student personnel office... the lady told me to push the bottom left corner of the locker while I pulled on it. Interesting discovery. Also yesterday, tryouts went well obviously since I'm on the squad now =D But then we had practice today.. haha boo. I was at school for 10 hours straight. Ew. Oh and yesterday was the Freshman "Mixer" which was basically an informal dance type thing. It was really cool because people just let loose and had fun... something they don't normally do because they're too self conscious.

is it an azn thing to walk around grocery stores at 2 am?

We do it all the time... me and my sister and people. And then today we went and there was another group of azns wandering the aisles. Hm. Fun. You'd think that by hanging out with college people, I would engage in more mature activities... instead we sat in Jenny's car parked on the side of the street and staring at random people. Then catcalling couples. Then pretending to eat popcorn as we watched two guys get in a car. Then deliberating whether to should go TP people or not. Sometimes I wonder how maturity can really be measured... oh well!! It was amusing, and that's what counts, eh?

I MADE IT!!!

more school crap

Had to change twice during school today... once on the way to first period. It really bothers me how there are desks situated randomly in the hallways with teachers or "paraprofessionals" sitting there with walkie talkies. It's like we're at jail or something. Oh wait, we are.

So, the lady says: "Excuse me... you're going to have to change that top. What year are you?"
Me: "I'm a freshman, sorry I didn't know!!"
Her: "Didn't you get the dress code rules?"
Me: "Was that in the mail? I didn't see it, sorry!!"
Her: "Well, your top is very pretty, but completely inappropriate for school. You're going to have to change. Do you have another shirt?"
Me: "Ummm yes I do, actually!!"
Her: "Go change, and I better not see you with it on later!"

Okay.. forel... does anyone remember the shirt Shen wore to TAF the first day? It was pink with white stripes and had a steel ring on the halter part? Okay... well that's the one I was wearing today, cept blue with no stripes. And yeah... what the heck?? The straps are like 3 inches wide!! The only thing is that it is kind of halterish... but there's an X in the back! So yeah.. that was bullshit. Rawrr. And so I change into the top I brought for drill team clinics/tryouts today... which I KNEW wasn't exactly more appropriate, but it was a different shirt at least. Er you guys don't know this one... the orange Express tank I got from my sister. It looks like a tank from the front but the back is kinda weird. Anyway, I was late to first period AGAIN because I had to run across the school to go to my locker and change. I survived till right before 4th period... at lunch the guy told me to change again. DAMMIT. No more shirts left!! I asked everyone at the table if they had an extra.. one girl did. I owe her BIG time... or else I'd be walkin around in my gym shirt for the rest of the day. Still. Pissed me off. It's not like I went in there thinking they'd stop me for inappropriateness. Sigh.

Let's see... I actually was able to open my locker today. Had a decent lunch-- Courtney was awesome and let me eat some of hers since I didn't want to wait another 10 minutes in the lunch line. Wasn't late to anything cept first period (which hopefully won't happen tomorrow >_<). My teachers are turning out pretty nice too, and I'm thinkin of visiting my old school on Friday. Yay. Tomorrow's gonna be better... I think.

Errrm clinics are over (for drill team)... the actual tryouts are tomorrow. Ahhh...

lost my ID on the first day... nice

So I freak out and spend 40 minutes last night looking for it... then wake up early and call Anne and ask if I left it on her car... then go to school early to get a new one from the ID office. My sis: "Just pretend you never got one." Me: "What if they hold up my lost one and say.. -Then what's THIS??-" Sis: "JUST DO IT!!!!!!!" ... sniffy. Anyway, there were like 20 people crowded in front of the lil door to the office... I gave them my ID number and they told me to wait for it to print. So I waited. Almost half an hour. Till 10 minutes into first period, I went up to the door to ask how they were comin on my ID... and I looked at the box and there it is!! I ask them if I can take it, and the lady goes "Oh yeah... someone turned that into the office yesterday. You must have dropped it." I'm like.. what the hell... so I ended up getting to first period 15 minutes late. Which was okay... my teacher's cool bout it.

no more school stuff!! aggh!!

Yeah... I'm seriously gonna ki-xiao (taiwanese). So... I'm gonna go sleep. Oh yeah, clinics for drill team today and tomorrow... tryouts Thursday. The coach seems really good but the JV coaching captains aren't exactly the best teachers. I hope I'll make it... we'll see. Need some sleep since I've gotten none the past two nights. I'm out. Peaches. <~ that was a typo originally... too bad.

agh. school.

I actually planned on writing a pretty long entry, but I just wrote a 2-page letter to my English teacher about "myself" in 10-pt, 1.5 spaced Trebuchet MS, so I'm kind of talked out. Let's just say my first day of high school was... boring, uneventful, and unsurprising. I wasn't really nervous or excited or scared about it at all so I guess I got what I expected. Lemme give you some highlights...

My locker is probably 5 miles away from the Academic wing (where all my classes are, cept PE), and I have to walk back and forth from one side of the school to the other at least 5 times a day. My locker is also squished up in a corner and takes 4 yanks to get it to open, and the top portion won't open at all (the janitor came and started prying at it with a screwdriver. My lunch is 3rd period (so like, 10 am? Nice.) I only had 2 minutes to eat today because my locker sucks and it was a shortened schedule.. but my math teacher let me eat in class, which was nice. Um, also during math class we reviewed Alg 2.. ewww!! Scary to know that I still retain most of that. Not that I'll need it till next year. Erm yepp.. that's basically all that happened... it's kind of sad, now that I think of it. But I'll make it. I'm approaching school with a TAF attitude and I'm trying to be friendly to everyone (uh even those that aren't friendly to me =T) and I actually think it's helping. At least I'm not all negative about it. High school doesn't look that menacing.

On a side note: drill team auditions tomorrow. Heh... time to see if I can still do the splits. Er, or anything, for that matter.
