I better get ready to work my ass off this year. I must keep reminding myself that I have GREAT teachers, even though have a reputation for being really hard. Maybe I should have gone the easy road with Roy and Bautista (like freakin' Kevin!)... but I guess I will have to rely on more miracles/hard work this year. On the bright side, I'm superdooperly glad that Physics and US History were taken care of this summer! Two things that I will never have to worry about again. HELL YEAH! :D

I have been so in love with Japanese food lately. I've even grown a bit fond of raw fish (well, just tuna and salmon), but only in dainty little portions. I still have to work up the nerve to get that Sashimi plate that my mom always gets. I don't think a plate of jello-like creatures can really satisfy me.

My brother and I have kinda been on a rollercoaster ride. He can bring out the absolute worst in me and I hate it. I don't want to be annoyed by my brother but I am on a daily basis. And then I remind myself that he is my favorite person in the whole wide world, and then I feel like shit for being mean to him. He's still young, we all make mistakes (even though he seems to make so much more than the average kid). He gets me so stressed out, but he always makes me laugh. He is so odd.

My grandma's health is getting worse. It's starting to really worry me now. I don't want my grandparents to ever get old.

Maybe I overreacted, maybe I didn't; I don't really know. I think we need a real heart-to-heart talk sometime soon.

Where's Chad Michael Murray?

Nice to see y'all again! It's been too long. Hey Vyphung! Hope you enjoyed it :)

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).

I am excited for this weekend, but not really looking forward to my first day of Physics on Monday. Tomorrow: MHS graduation, then HOPEFULLY I get to watch Michael Phelps & Ryan Lochte swim at Santa Clara!!! Sunday: Last day of Chinese school, Allison's BBQ
