More than a triangle

This is turning out to be way too confusing. I think I should get out of this square/pentagon crap when I have a chance. Otherwise, I would be a total hypocrite. I am trying to help you realize some things, but it seems this is all doomed from the start. *Private blog. Hi there, it sure has been a while.

Thought this might be interesting:

"I [got famous] the way you are supposed to. I played every club in New York City and I bombed in every club and then killed it in every club and I found myself as an artist. I learned how to survive as an artist, get real, and how to fail and then figure out who I was as singer and performer. And, I worked hard." --Lady Gaga

I was kinda surprised when I found out she wasn't born onto a reality show or had her fame handed to her from music execs. I think it's great and very respectable that she had to work for it from a young age and face tons of rejection before getting her big break. And look where she is today. I am a huge believer that hard work pays off, that focusing on certain things with enough motivation will get you places.

^ I have no idea what that means, but I saw that today when I was looking for a Macbeth script online. It sounds cute though :)

Today was pretty much a bad day. HUGE LESSON: Coffee and coke do not mix, ever. I had a frappucino before school and coke during 2nd. I ended up having surprisingly good day, until I completely crashed in 6th period and at practice today. We had to run a stupid mile on a dirt track, but at least we did backstroke.

*Happy birthday to the twins, Tan and Vivi!

I am pretty disappointed that I wasn't nominated for anything other than a scholar athlete patch. Placing in the top 8 TWICE at League finals (more than any other girl on the team) and being the first girl to make CCS in YEARS isn't enough? Wow Coach, I feel pretty useless and a little bit angry. I guess I can only look forward to next year.

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?
