HAPPY NEW YEAR~~!

*--

Let's see how I did with 2007's resolutions. :)

1. You will be the most wonderful little child, so wonderful that you actually get to BUY the stuff you want with your own money. And the parents don't refuse. The parents let you. - Um.. Not so sure. I didn't ask for that much stuff this year and when I did, I did it if I thought I deserved it after working hard or something. D: (except for when I bought Zukkoke...)
2. That means someone has to get a job. Sometimes too picky ain't so great. When it comes to money, YOU NEED IT. How you gon' get money (besides washing dishes for Momma)? - Uh, I always talked about getting a job and never went through with it. ):
3. Try to get super awesome grades as you did last semester. Cuz maybe you'll get more money. And you'll be allowed to buy all that stuff you plan on getting over the summer. >=D - I guess my grades have been good. They're all A's? I'm in the top 10 numbers of my class?
4. PASS YOUR DRIVER'S TEST && GET YOUR LICENSE. If you dare enter Junior year without a license, well, YOU'll feel the pain. - Done.
5. Let's continue from that '06 res. Better study/everything else habits, ne? - *cough* I think I had better study habits one week this year. Or maybe two. Whole year? Mostly procrastinating to get things done. DDD:
6. Don't put off/proscrastinate. If you want something done, GET IT DONE. You have a horrible habit of not doing so no matter how much you want it done. Not good. - Uh. D:
7. Now that you've learned the pain and have some experience, maybe it's time to get out there and have real feelings for someone. It'll do some good. - ):
8. Wouldn't it be nice if you knew exactly what you wanted to do with your life? - I thought I did for a while, but then I decided I didn't want to do that anymore. ):
9. Financial problems. YOU WILL LEARN TO CONTROL YOURSELF. That debt issue. SHIT, it's comin' true. o_o Or it will. - I've controlled myself! Sort of..
10. You have a problem of letting things people say get to you. This year, enough of that. Try not to be so shitting sensitive to what others may think. - I think I did this..

5/10. D: Not as well as last year's 8/10.

So we must do better this year!
New Year's Resolutions for 2008:

1. I'm just gonna say it. Yobfriend onegaishimasu? I know that most likely it won't be as good as I think it'll be but still, I'm so inexperienced. ): I hate that my liking people happens every 2 years though because it has. And it sucks. That means my next one's gonna be in 2009? DDDD: WHY.
2. I need a job. Seriously. I've actually got "needs" now.
3. I don't gotta worry about no SAT anymore. :DD But I still have to do well in school and all. Please get at least a 4 on all my APs this year!
4. I seriously need to figure out what I want to do with life. ):
5. Procrastination is stressful. No more procrastinating!
6. Work out. I get tired from just climbing stairs now, which most likely means when I get older, I just won't be able to move. ): I don't wanna suffer through life like that.
7. Like food? I'm too picky. I don't eat much, which just results in my not eating. Why am I so skinny? That's why. It's gotten to where I can't eat much anymore, even if I want to. My body's not used to eating as much anymore since I haven't done so for so long.
8. Be a good child. Everyone around me says I'm a horrible, useless child. The only thing I'm capable of doing is making good grades, but if that's all I can do, that's still pretty useless.
9. Learn Korean. This is actually a straightforward resolution. I want to be skilled in the East Asian languages. Plus, lots of people think I know Korean and they ask me stuff but when I say I don't, I feel that I'm letting them down.
10. Be better at Chinese. DD: My home language and I majorly fail at it. It's quite sad really.

First two sentences of the first entry of each month of 2007!

January - First off I will actually talk about my life again. I know, I know, I haven't mentioned it very clearly anymore.
February - So I must have feelings for someone according to one of my resolutions for this year? But because I'm making it an obligation, does that mean I really like someone, or I'm just forcing myself to?
March - Thank you Iris for the JT CD! :DD I'm gonna listen to it right after I'm done listening to Radiohead.
April - @Tiri: UIL for Theatre. I'm a techie.
May - It's our last day off for this school year. DX Hey.
June - HEY EVERYBODY. Why don't yall just comment here and tell me about yall's life for a change instead of just reading about mine because I have nothing to say anymore?
July - Hey yall. I have Internet access.
August - School ended yesterday with many tears shed by me. :( I didn't think leaving everyone would be painful.
September - Tabulas changed our URLs, so now to access here, it's http://shrin.tabulas.com. Save that to yall's Favorites, 'kay?
October - Srsly, I'm just so shallow aren't I when it comes to the guys here? I NEED SUBSTANCE NOT JUST LOOKS.
November - I think my biggest dreams aren't really my dreams but other people's dreams. Other people have goals and I've never really had any but I've always wanted some, so I guess I just took other people's.
December - *BIG SIGH* Aggghhhhhh.. Tech was such a mess in today's show. People forgot their assignments and just did other things.

I actually attempted at my resolutions in February and October!

I did lots of techie stuff in '07 as can be seen in April and December.

And I'm trying to figure out what to do with life in November.

I had totally forgotten about my resolutions but was subconsciously attempting them! :D

I. Life to me

HAI HOMEWORK. I've finished it and all but I still have to study for US History and I don't even think I'm gonna be studying the right things because I kinda half-assed the study questions. D:

I still haven't finished my last proof for Pre-cal either. WHY IS IT SO HARD. I don't like when things with even numbers are equal to odd numbers (in this case cos4x+cos2x etc = cot3x). That just makes it 23432 times harder to do. If I actually figure this out by myself, I probably have officially owned what I want to know about proofs period.

School is tomorrow. Already. ): Last night I slept at around 3-4am because I stayed up talking to Linda on the phone. I shouldn't have because I woke up at 12:30 today. Not as late as usual but then, it's still not good for school being the next day. Sleep is easily screwed up in one day.

I can't think of an original and creative essay topic for The Great Gatsby. I really want to wow her so I can start off really well for the next semester. But I guess I'm not that original or creative to begin with. Especially not with literature. I don't think a lot of the kids in my class are either.

II. Me to Life

I just applied for the National Honors Convocation! But it's kinda late. I mean, the deadline for application is April, but they recommended that we apply before December 21 to guarantee entry into our first choice program which I totally forgot about ))):. Mommy let me sign up for TV & Film! :O It seriously shocked me because she was against my going into the field. I actually gave up on TV & Film in the end of last year because I thought about it and realized that I probably wouldn't have what it takes to really succeed. I guess I'm considering it a bit again. I REALLY REALLY hope I get into the LA TV & Film one. ))):

I am becoming organized! :D All because of my Big Bang planner. Thank you Big Bang!

Mommy wants me to apply to Stanford's summer college if I don't get my choices in the Honors Convocation, so I looked into which classes I would want to take. I was considering Intensive Chinese I because one of my resolutions this year was to improve my Chinese. I was thinking if I could actually get into Chinese II because I can speak some Chinese, but looking at the curriculum of Chinese I, I'm probably not quite past that level. XD So when I was registering, right at the beginning, along with filling in your name and high school, they ask if you're planning on signing up for Chinese because if you are you can't sign up for any other classes which basically means that there will just be so much work that you won't freakin' have time for anything else. LOLOLOLOL CHINESE. I decided not to in the end because um, I guess Mommy wouldn't want to pay for me to learn a language that I can learn from her for free.

But these intensive courses seem pretty interesting because you can challenge yourself and learn so much in a short amount of time. Getting accepted into the program might be a bit difficult, though, because they require an essay and recommendation and all that stuff. DDDD: I kinda fail at essays, especially when the essay topic is about your favorite quote and why it's meaningful to you. ))):

Go again.

I got accepted into LA's TV & Film! \:D/

I'm currently listening to CareerSafe while I'm just browsing the Net. XD Gah, it takes forever when I do it at school because the computers always freeze. Dx So frustrating. Dude, Lesson #3 is freakin' 51 pages. At least I'm on page 41.

I have no homework today! \:D/ Haha, Christina's so jealous. Elkins is just like that, random days will have tons of homework, others just have none, which is really rare.

I'm having so much fun writing in my BB planner. :DDD You can randomly see me just looking at it trying to think of what to write in it. People at school are so amused and confused at Asians. They don't believe me when I say the guys are actually just so pimp. D: It's because in the planner, they're so gay in a happy way and slightly gay in a homosexual way. D:

GAHHHH, I can't believe exams are NEXT WEEK. DDD;

Um, so I'm really confused as to why my exam grades are exceptional.

I just got all my exam grades today and here were my expectations:

• Not really sure about Physics because eff Physics that thing was really randomly hard but he's messing with our tests right now so I actually don't really know what to expect on it. As long as I get an A for the semester, I'm good.
• English was just so hard. It was the same level as the AP stuff we do in class and all, but I usually think those are hard. My essay was really bad because I really didn't know what I was talking and my use of quotes was very minimal and I thought I had written off topic for a part of it. ): I needed an 80 to get an A for the semester but I didn't think I was going to get there.
• Oh dear. Chemistry. It wasn't OMG THAT WAS SO HARD I WANTED TO KILL MYSELF bad but it wasn't DUDE THAT WAS LIKE SO EASY LIKE LIKE easy. The gas problems really got to me and made me sad because I remembered Hinote teaching the stuff but I didn't remember paying attention. ): So I wasn't so sure about the stuff.
• Precal was today and I really should've studied but I didn't really have time to because I spent all of yesterday working on my US History review which took freakin' forever. I kinda glanced at my Precal notes before bed. There was some stuff that I wasn't sure about how to do. /: Overall, it wasn't horrible. I only needed a 48 on the exam to get an A anyhow.
• US History had like 10 questions that I really had no clue on so I just kinda had to guess. ]: I think my essay was kinda sloppy both appearance and content wise.
• Oh yeah. Culinary. Um, it was easy.

102 on Culinary. Haha. It was basically exactly like the review.

Physics was never posted.

93 on English!!! You must understand how shocked and ecstatic I was. I did not expect to get an A. My expectation was only to get a B and I didn't think I was capable of making an A anyway. DDD: This seriously made my day because I had been freaking out over this forever.

100 on Chemistry. DUDE. I do not even know how this happened. Seriously. When people asked me what I thought of Chemistry, I told them it wasn't that bad but I didn't think I got a 100. "WHAT?" I was just screaming this the whole time while staring at my grade. Seriously confused and shocked and everyone was like WTFFFFF.

98 on Precal giving me a 100 for the semester. Haha.

Never got US History because that was like the last exam.

Well, this semester's over and all but I still have tons of homework from Bonnette. ): Why. Gatsby essay hasn't even been started and research isn't really half done. ));
