I love looking for and reading quotes by famous people or even not-so-famous people. Good quotes are surprisingly hard to find; it must be hard to make simple words sound elegant when arranged in a sentence. & that's what a quote is: simple words combined to create a powerful or influential message. Here is one by Eleanor Roosevelt, an inspirational lady. It seems everything she says is memorable.

"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility."

I actually have a lot of favorites, I'm just really bad at trying to remember them.

So the other day, Mrs. Mellera said something that I had a vague impression of hearing before. I probably did, but it stuck this time. "The only thing you learn from high school is how to find the answers." But I don't think that's true, because high school is way too short to teach you how to find answers. & isn't that what we all want? I want answers. I want a lot of answers. You want answers. We want answers. But answers... is what we won't get. Only questions. We will spend our entire life chasing answers that don't exist. What will I become? Will I be truly happy? Where will I go with my life? What happened to Amelia Earhart? (Haha, jk) But the only thing that comes with these questions, are more questions. Not answers, not even close to answers. My theory is that as I start finding little clues to these questions, I will understand a little more about the next question, and the next. & pretty soon, I will have a lot of clues that I have to spend my entire life stringing together. Not to create an answer, but to create another question. Does that make sense? Probably not.

Anyways, my mom is surprisingly bright today. She said it was because she finally took a nap. & now she is making me lunch. I miss my mommy's cooking. To me, its always comfort food. Today was Rhodan's birthday party but I was too scared to ask my mommy to go. Right now, I should be doing homework instead of sounding like a wannabe philosopher but... I don't know. I just had something to say.

Tram, you're probably gonna read this cause you have nothing else to do. Or you got bored taking pictures of yourself, haha. But thanks for today, & i love you (=

I have decided, I'm gonna drop Honors Precal. I am so sure on that decision, that I am not gonna do my math homework for the weekend, because I will do whatever it takes to get out of that class and not return. (except senior year when I take AP stats) END OF STORY.

Today was Rhodan's 15th birthday. Makes me feel old, cause I'm already 15 and 10 months. It was so fun doing the clues! I think I should do that more often for my friends' birthdays. It just takes a lot of work and planning out beforehand, but I think everyone deserves knowing that someone spent time on their birthday present. & I am pretty sure everyone loves a good surprise (=

Weekend is heeeeere! My mom agreed to let me go shopping for my homecoming dress on sunday, for the plain and simple reason that I asked at a good time. Timing is key! But I do have to compromise and say that I won't buy anything. Which is not much of a compromise, cause I can just leave it at someones house until homecoming. Yeah, I guess I have much experience in this. Trynna learn to adapt and work around annoying obstacles, which you get better at if you have extremely asian parents. But still, there is always the risk of getting caught and that scares me to death sometimes. But hey, who doesn't have to take risks? Even life-threatening ones, haha.

My teeth still hurts!!! I'm still chewing my food on only one side of my mouth. I can't wait to get these nasties off my poor, crying teeth.

CHAI DUCK EYE, MICHELLE! ni feng le<3

Who the hell gets a fucking C+ as a six week grade? Oh wait, thats me. Fuck fuck FUCK. That is so bad bad bad!!! No kidding. I am reallyseriouslydefinitely considering switching to regular Precal. Oh my god, I don't know whats gonna happen when my mom finds out...
