Physics at Mission is turning out to be an okay class. Not the actual topic of physics, but all the people that are in it make it that much more interesting.

Close but no cigar
The swim meet at Santa Clara International was a bit of a disappointment, but it was great nonetheless. As it turns out, we went the wrong day to get autographs/pictures cause they were signing autographs the day before! That sucked a lot, totally FML. But on the bright side, we actually got to watch Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps race each other in 2 events (Lochte won in the 100 back, which combines two of my favorite things in swimming: Ryan Lochte + backstroke!). And the place where we sat was right next to where the winners get interviewed on TV, so I was LITERALLY arms distance away from Phelps and Lochte and other swimmers that I lost track of. That really made us scream and giggle. I also got Leisel Jones' autograph and a picture with Matt Grevers, who are both Olympians and great swimmers, not to mention waaaay underappreciated as compared to Phelps and Lochte. Afterwards, the four of us had an adventure; we went hunting for them but never found them. I guess there is always next year though. MR. AN NGUYEN, I WANT THOSE PICTURES OF PHELPS AND LOCHTE!!! Please? :D

Santa Clara International
OH MY GOSH I HAVE TICKETS TO WATCH MY LOOOOVE, RYAN LOCHTE, SWIM TOMORROW!!! And Michael Phelps! And every other swimmer that is famous! My heart is like all bubbly and jumpy, I AM SO FREAKIN' EXCITED! I really hope I get a pictures and autographs at the end... but just watching them swim is enough for me. And this time, I will be MUCH closer than I was when I watched them in Beijing ;D
MHS Class of 2009 Graduation was today. I will upload pictures as soon as other people upload them. Yeah, I forgot my camera today, how stupid of me! So now I have to hunt through people's Facebook albums or wait until they post them and tag me. It's quite a long process...

Halfway done with high school
It certainly didn't feel like the last day of school yesterday, other than the fact that I decided to skip practice for a day to hang out. Today, I spent most of the day making graduation posters with the swim team guys, then off to Sendai to fill our sushi cravings, then practice.
In general, I had an interesting sophomore year. Compared other years in my education, this year was probably the hardest year in terms of difficulty of classes and workload. It was a year when I had quite a few friendships tested, but also when I learned the most about some of my friends. I have gotten close to some seniors, which was great then, but is saddening now when graduation arrives. Looking back on this year, I also feel pride because this year was the first year I made CCS for swimming, maintained captain of Science Olympiad, and was chosen as Vice President of Key Club. I am also very much relieved that I managed to continue my unweighted 4.0 (weighted GPA is 4.5).

More school
HELLO to the lovely month of JOOOOONE!
Our lemon battery thingymabobber won! Our voltage was off the charts, it was worth the $1.25. Thanks to Brian Nguyen and his vinegar-ed lime. I really hope those extra 10 points on the Redox test will help me to beef up my grade before the SCARY ASS chem final. Which leads me to AP Chem next year, which I don't even feel like talking about. I am just very worried, that's all ):
In fact, must BEEF UP all of my grades, so finals will be less stressful. Time to bring in the extra credit!
Trying to order "underground" team shirts for MHS swimming is very difficult. To rush shipping or not to rush shipping (and pay an extra $80 so I can get it before school ends)? Hanes or Gildan (50 cents difference, but I like Hanes)? More than a hundred different fonts to choose from! And where the hell does everyone hang out at school!? Swimmers are scattered everywhere, I can't seem to find even 2 in one place. Some can't think of a good nickname (ask An, he will definitely think of something nasty), some can't afford it (true, $22 is a lot), some don't even know their own sizes (wow, you don't buy clothes?). Gosh I feel like peoples' mother, constantly harassing them. I think I might just end up having my mom pay for the entire order (almost $400, crazy huh?) and pay her back when I get everyone's money, cause people keep forgetting.
Yay, Kevin Vuong is on MTW! Vincent and Thi are staying too, hooooray! And my love, Wendy, of course<3 (Plus some annoying freshmen from JV but that's whatever, they are slow anyways) It's like a MHS reunion. I just hope that new girl isn't fast. Wow I sound horrible. If she is fast, that's a good thing... right? It will be a good and healthy challenge, I guess. Oh, for the record: I hate breaststroke.
Still searching for that grad ticket cause I want to go! I have really gotten to know some amazing seniors and I want to be able to see them graduate. I will buy it, at a good price. Any offers?
