np: Pachabel's Canon
....moof. >.<
I haven't been this frickin' tired since...since school ended in June. o.O Actually, I wasn't this tired then. No, I know. Last time I was this tired was after AP tests. I was like a...a...yeah. I think it's the heat. And the 40 or so problems my calculus teacher assigned didn't help. And I even took a nap for an hour and a half when I got home and I'm STILL tired. ....>.<
Voices in head: For once, we have nothing deprecating to say.
Lisa: ...z z z z z z z z z z z z....
Voices: ....you slacker.

Whee~~~eee!! School started today! ^_^
Everyone: O.o (backing away slowly...)
No really, I'm happy school started. I got to see everyone aga~ain!! It's so fun to see everyone I know in the school halls again, and wave and say hi and smile and see them smile and wave and say hi back. ^_^ Though sometimes I am afraid I'll step on a poor freshman someday. >.< I swear, they get shorter every year... But anyways, I'm happy. I love my classes, my teachers, and all the people in my classes!! Laa~aaalalalala! Yay, I'm going to have such a fun year! Even with that funky block schedule they're starting up this year. >.< That is SOO going to confuse me... Oh well. The block schedule means I get to sleep in Wednesday morning. ^O^ Ya~ayyy!! Sleep!
Anyways, my schedule itself. Well, okay, here we go, with commentary:
1st period: Chinese 3 (i'm the only person with a non-asian last name. O.O everyone else is, like, full chinese. >.< i feel so out of place... still, like the ppl. ^_^)
2nd period: Physics Honors (WAHAHAHA!! half the officers in robotics team, including me, are in this class. ^_~ and all the other ppl are funfun too! wa~ai, and the teacher rules! he's great. he's the one who gave us the Id speech. the one about how your Id is the part of you that tells you to eat, sleep, and poop. in those words. and basically, the point of the speech was to not be an idiot, because basically, an idiot is someone who follows their Id. ^^;; he tells you to follow your Ego instead. ^_^)
Period 3: English AP (smart fun ppl in that class! i can see impending deep discussions... kewl!)
Period 4: Art 4 (WAA~AAIII! this class rules. kenji, inji, and kix are in this class with me. ^_^ well, those are their online names... we can draw and talk anime and plan anime conventions and cosplaying and stuff! i volunteered to be the one running around with the camera. ^_~)
Period 5: Economics AP (kix is in this one too! ^o^ and teaching it is my all-time favorite teacher, who has, like, the exact same taste in books as me. we talk books all the time. ^_~)
Period 6: Calculs AP-BC (the teacher had all our names memorized halfway through class. O.O man, is that dude smart...)
Period 7: Biology AP (all the juniors! o.o well, guess that means i won't be doing much work this year! ^_^ heck, no senior is going to do work when there's perfectly capable underclassmen who can do it. ^^;;)
And when I'm done with all that, I get to fight through the traffic around my school to go pick up my sister. ^^;; And no, my class load is ~not~ insane. I like to think of it as my next step in discovering my intellectual limits. Besides, I'm a senior. I'm not gonna stress. And half the problem with hard classes is the stress involved, not neccessarily the classes themselves...
Okay, not really anything else... just so happy to see all my friends again! Face to face beats everything else. ^_^ Anyways... Later!
Voices in head: Thought you said that once school starts you start stressing out.
Me: Oh, that. That comes later. This whole glow of happiness stuff? It'll only last until the first test. ^_^
Voieces: o~okay. whatever.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WA~AII!!
Okay. Lisa was here. (great place, by the way.) They had some info on the Hikaru no Go anime... and... wow. ^_^ You know Sai? The genius Go player? The feminine ghost with the purple lipstick? (^0^) He's going to be voiced by Chiba Susumu. Who, I might add, was also Chiaki in Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne and Youzen in Houshin Engi. ^_^ ^_^ WAIII!! The birth of a new bishie seiyuu. ^_~ Lalalaa~aa... Hikaru, in the meanwhile, is voiced by Kawakami Tomoko, who was Rika in CCS, Chiriko in Fushigi Yuugi, and Utena in Utena. ^_^ Teehee!! I like, I like!! I want. >.< That show better get over to the US. Or someone should fansub, at least. >.<
Oh, more stuffs. I finally got my art website up. ^^;; It's here: www.geocities.com/sunlit_atelier. It's kinda blah right now, but at least I have something in existence now. ^^;;
And school starts tomorrow! >.< I only have one of my Lit AP essays finished! oh, the agony... Must start on next one. NOW.
Voices in head: It's so amusing watching you panic...
Me: yakyakyak. You helping me or not?
Voices: No.
Me: DOH!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
np ("now playing" on karura's winamp; because other people do it, too, and i liked the idea ^^;;): Butterfly by Wada Kouji (from Digimon 01) ^O^
Discovered something interesting while writing my essays for lit. You know how Microsoft Word gives you stats on your writing after you grammar/spell check it? Like, words/sentence and so on? Turns out I'm very consistent in my stats. o.o The average number of letters for the words I use is always 4.6. I have an average of 21-22 words in my sentences, and my reading ease stat is generally 50-60. >.< man, the things you discovered when you're bored...
I've been thinking about trying to put up an art page again... I kinda like the stuff I've been drawing lately... Of course, if I do make a webpage it'll have to be of the easy-to-update variety... maybe something really, really simple... hmm... dunno... Ack, my brain's stopped working...better stop...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O.O
Hmm...erm...well... o.o I was just writing this essay thing for Literature AP... Summer homework. Ack. Anyways. I was just looking back on some of the crap I wrote after I wrote it. And boy is "crap" the right word. o.o;;
"2. Structure: Kingsolver alternated between short, dreamlike, almost impressionistic sections narrated by Doc Homer, which stylistically emulated his wandering, unhealthy mind, and longer narratives by Codi, both in third person. Each of these sections were divided into separate chapters, though Codi’s sections were invariably divided into longer and more numerous chapters, for this story is, in truth, hers. And though not apparent immediately, Doc Homer’s sections always led into Codi’s narratives, introducing ideas that were eventually used in Codi’s sections."
O.O
WHAT THE HELL IS SCHOOL DOING TO ME!?? ;_;
On a happier note, I got a parking spot in the school parking lot. Very cool. That means I don't have to walk ten minutes from my parking spot like I did last year. No, I am not kidding. Sometimes I got rides from people...to my car. ^^;; I am not joking. Oh, how I wish I were joking...
But, that's behind me. So ith all good. Right? Right!
Um, nothing else, really. I bet once school starts I'll come weeping to this blog every day to vent my stress. ^^;; hmph. school. stupid school...at least i'm a senior...wait, SENIOR? COLLEGE APPLICATIONS!! >.< Ah, shit...don't even have a CLUE what i want to major in.....don't you just hate life-altering decisions?
Voices in head: You're being over-dramatic again.
Me: silence, fiend.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WA~AII!!
Karura finally redesigned! ^_~ I kinda like it, too. Yes, it's my fanart. Yes, it's Ken Ichijouji from Digimon 02. Yes, he looks anorexic. But I don't care, Leafmon looks cute. And so does Ken. *_* kennn....
Oh. And if you steal my fanart, Karura hunts you down and kills you. Just so you know. The version of the Ken fanart I used for this page is kinda low-quality anyways... If you actually like it, e-mail me and I can dig up a happier version for you.
(quick note: my sister helped edit the picture. she did all that tedious stuff i don't like doing. >.< so kudos to her!)
School starts soon. >.< Next Monday. No~ooo!! I don't have time to draw! And I still have three more essays to write by then. >.< Ick. Mustwritemustwritemustwrite!!!!!
Voices in head: If you had started your essays earlier, you wouldn't be in this mess.
Karura: would i be myself if i had started the essays earlier? no. you would've been really worried about me if i didn't procrastinate, right? Riighhtt?
Voices: Sadly, you speak the truth.
Karura: HA!
Voices: Only you would be satisfied by such a verbal victory. All you are doing is indirectly admitting a fault of yours and, incidentally, doing nothing to solve it.
Karura: How can it be a verbal victory? There's nothing verbal about it! You're only annoying voices in my head that are probably only part of my unreachable sub-consciousness that serve to point out all of my (numerous) faults and stupid actions!!
Voices: ............
Karura: I'll take that as agreement. ........hey.....wait a minute...
