Materialistic

I got a new queen-sized bed, finally! It was a Christmas present my parents promised to me when I said my bed was too small, then I changed my mind when I realized I would be leaving for college in 2 years anyway, then a week ago, they convinced me to get it cause it was like 70% off and SUPER COMFORTABLE. I really could have fallen asleep in the middle of Sears in Newark. I am so excited to starting dreaming in it! (Hopefully it will be set up by tomorrow night)

I am considering getting an iTouch, with my own $$. The Apps are so awesome and I absolutely love anything touchscreen. But mostly for the reason that my mom lost her nano (actually, she left it at the gym and the guy who said he found it ended up denying its existence, STUUUUPID!) and doesn't want to buy a new one, so I am giving her mine. I am possibly even considering an iPhone to replace my LG Shine that I am beginning to hate. I use the internet on my phone almost daily but it's so damn slow. And texting too, ugh.

Other than that, TGIF definitely. My eyes were fluttering in every class (especially 6th with Mollot!) from sleep deprivation. I desperately need sleep. But... life goes on. No sleeping in tomorrow, gotta wake up early to get those 8 hours of community service time.

I swear, my memory is getting worse and worse.

Why I am stressing out right now

- Probably the hardest week of practice in the swim season, everything muscle hurts like a motherrrrr. Leagues in 1 week, CCS in 2 weeks.
- AP World test in 15 days!!! Must keep studying...
- Bielski isn't letting Harrison's kids take the AP World practice test, which I desperately need!!
- CCS is the day after AP World test, and I found out I have a Chem test on the day of CCS. Yeah, thanks. Just keep piling it on -___-
- Mission college physics class is filling up (only like 6 spots left) but I still have to wait another 3 damn weeks to register.
- Online US History class this summer is FULL, uggggggggh.
- My chem project experiment pretty much failed so I have to redo it.
- Too late for lifeguarding job (didn't really want to do it anyways; already too dark!), Read to Succeed (same; would only have been able to attend half the sessions), and Wisdom Chinese Camp (same again; 60 hours/week with little kids the age of my brother, SHOOT ME!).
- My rugball team sucks, enough said.

On the brightside:
- I finally paid AP ($86) and swimming jacket/suit fees ($95) that should have been paid last year.
- I got to skip crazy Mollot's BORING ASS class today for ortho.
- Braces off within 2 months max!
- No more stupid STAR testing! No more test fatigue, confusion from scrambled up classes, and general exhaustion from all of the above.

Yeah, negatives definitely outweigh the positives. If I can't take Physics, my summer will be a complete waste (Well, other than the SAT classes that I already applied for). I need to rake in those community service hours somehow, any ideas?

But I'm a riot, yeah.

I really don't want to take US history next year. No one else is and I don't want to fall behind cause I wasted a class period taking it. If only Mission didn't have that stupid rule to take only 1 class in the summer! And I can't do Ohlone or Deanza cause they interfere with another class. Ugh. Foothill and San Jose City College have yet to release their summer schedule. I am thinking about filling out the petition for enrollment exceptions but I can't think of a good reason why I should be an exception. Or maybe since they have an online class for US history, taking physics and US history together technically do not count as a 2 classes... hm. I'll ask my counselor next week and hopefully she can help me. All of that has just been bothering me. The more I get done this summer, the less I do next year so I can focus on all those stupid tests I have to take.

I crack my bones a lot. Is that a bad thing? Cause I heard it can mess up your bones. I can't help it though, I feel so stiff all the time. I do stretch every night but I don't think that really affects my bones, other than the fact that I am getting more and more flexible. I hope I don't develop that bone thing, osteoporosis? *knock on wood.

I have absolutely NOWHERE to go this weekend, for once! No Chinese school, no volunteer stuff, no tennis. I love it. Unfortunately, I have more homework to do than usual which is gross. But since I don't have to go anywhere, I can finish it by Saturday and go on a one-day road trip with my family like we always used to do. The weather is supposedly nice this weekend.

Gmail > Yahoo Mail, hands down.
