Today has, thus far, been weird. Between yesterday and Sunday, today is going to be busy as hell, and instead of me doing just one thing, I'll be doing tons. Choir actually went by fast, though unfortunately Leanne showed her face. Ugh, I'm just glad she didn't bug me any.

We had an aseembly in 2nd period (Economics) featuring a dance theater troupe called Dimensions from Oakland. They featured a series of West African dances and songs, and some were pretty fun because they were interactive. The highlight had to be when they asked for volunteers, and the school's resident mentally disabled star, Alan Kim, got up on the stage, chasing after another volunteer. Like the other 6 volunteers, Alan was supposed to copy everything the dancers did-- and he did, too well. It was downright funny because he touched his nose when she did, and when the moves got complicated, Alan looked like he was galloping. He was the star of the show, and had people across the auditorium cheering for him-- including myself, when my mouth wasn't full of fudgy brownie from Kripa. ^_^

3rd period was just me and Jonathan Potter at the table, and near the end of class, we started talking about some weird stuff, like futuristic schools, ice skating and street hockey, and finally ROTC. I kept trying to remind him of Eva, who I *swore* had been a squad leader with him my sophomore year (and Potter's freshman year). Turns out that when I was platoon leader with Eva as a squad leader in my sophomore year, Potter was in another company; when I was S-5 at the beginning of my junior year, he was a squad leader in my company. My record, as it stands, is 2 years in Delta Company (Cunningham, an experience I'll never forget; though Potter seems glad that people have finally started forgetting him and stopped thinking that Potter looked like Cunningham's younger self) and one semester in Echo. All the same, too much iced tea this morning; my wires are crossed.

I'm working on a new article idea on how journaling can be good for you, and I came across this fantastic idea called the 1000 journals project. There's that, and so much more to do today-- like gettiong webpages up, writing more fanfics, making up a bunch of homework (of course), going to my SFSU math tutoring class, going to the first session of Media Academy, and then going to my allergy appointment. @_@ Busy girl I am. Have to get my prescription too. Blargh!!

And just after homeroom, I supposedly won some sweepstakes, but I couldn't "win" because I'm a minor and I don't have a major credit card. O_o So much for that.

Geez, I'm really out of it. Going now.

Did I neglect to mention that earlier? Ehehe, yeah. I was in the process of planning to meet Gene tomorrow outside J-town afterschool when mom (predictably) woke up at 1:10 in the morning to tell me to a) get my ass to bed and b) get the dishes done. ^_^ She said "But I thought his name was Tai...something or other." Guilt overwhelms me and I say, "No Mom, that's someone else, someone I wasn't feeling up to meeting just yet." Truth. Besides, Rochelle offered to call Taisuke for me and clear things up, in the hopes that maybe he'll talk to me online again. >_< I don't want to talk to people on the phone. I don't know why, but I hate the phone. No, I take it back, I do know why. I've heard too many times asbout relatives dying through the phone. Somehow it's less painful when the person telling you is in front of your face. It makes them seem less insensitive and brutish.

fire advise goggle? )

I went to that math tutorial thing today, switched my day to Thursdays at 2:30... which doesn't change much, considering that both the math tutorials and the media academy are on Tuesday and Thursday. It just means I'll be even more busy on Thursdays, especially if FX is on Thursdays again. Eh, better than Fridays, I suppose, considering that I love RTA nowadays. I'm glad though-- that I'm being proactive.

The one thing that's gotten me down today is that Ms. Jacobs, the head of the GATE and AP departments here at Wash told me today that she recieved a list of people who are GATE (Gifted and Talented Education, in case you didn't know... and I've been one of those students since 3rd grade) and are underperforming on their STAR tests. Well, last year's anyway. Underperforming is getting under the 50th percentile in Math or English. I knew off the bat I'd gotten that low score in Math, since English is my strong suit, and I *did* get some scholarship money from the governor, just not as much as last time. Apparently though, my pathetic score (I must have forgotten it, so painful is the memory) shocked even her-- a 20 in Math. -.- Gah. I'm repeating math, taking tutorial courses, and if I ever get around to going to college, I bet I'll STILL be in remedial math. Lord save me.

I'm updating Animanga Collision as we speak. Yay me.

Mm, so here I am in class... it's fun so far... I know maybe all of two people in here, aside from the teacher, Jessica. I have a bunch of things I'd love to accomplish in this class, and in my off time, too...
* Photoshop- gotta learn how to use quickmasks, styles, and really learn how to use layer effects. I must know how to do that fading grid trick.
* Flash - I wanna make my own flash movies. It'd be easier than doing online manga, and more interactive than fanfics.
* Webbing - I need to learn Java so I can do special scroll tricks, menus, and quizzes. Have to learn to design simple, but modern layouts.

@_@ Okay, we just got a new assignment, I better jet.
