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).

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

PE is over! I am pretty sure I have an A in that class, although our team's 2 losses today might lower it to an A-. Today was my last day of PE... EVER! I am all done with those unnecessary credits, BOOYAH. And the Honors Chem final is over!!!! And I don't know my grade on it exactly, but my overall grade is an A-, whoot whoot! Time to celebrate :)

I think I might sleep early today, like at around 11 o'clock. The earliest since... as far back as I remember. Maybe since February break even. Thank god I don't have any hard finals tomorrow. Just AP World (AP testing is over, so we aren't doing anything hard) and Precal (if I get a D on the final, my grade go down to an A-). 2 more days of school!

It was nice catching up today, it's been a while.
