//the closing of 2003
hMM. on monday, i went to cathie's house to do our calc homework. that mess is soo freakn hard i swear. then afterwards, went with helen buttmuncher to watch LOTR3. that was such an awesome movie-- the best out of the three. plus i got to spend time with helen [my two-second girl] haha. then tuesday, dropped by ulysses where he gave me idle hands, with JESSiCA ALBA!! thanks hun i love it =) then i went out with peggy. first we went to her mom's salon where i got my eyebrows waxed. i swear i'm too lazy to do them myself ever since her mom did them for me for dances.. i think i'll just go there from now on =) from there.. we got lost a couple of times trying to find the montebello town center. finally got there.. and me and peggy went through the mall like nothing. that freakin place is soo tiny!! but i was holding myself back anyway.. i dont need any more clothes.. even though i got a cute jacket =) me and my jacket fetish.. eesh. haha wells that was funn. thanks for the present giirl! the rest of my break [except perhaps saturday?] will be dedicated to doing homework.
so anyhow, tomorrow commences the year of 2004. it's really not going to be any different-- i'm just closer to being a year older, and graduation is just that much closer. can we say, hell, yeah? =D haha.
so.. reflecting back on this year, i can definitely say that it has been filled with its share of ups and for sure downs. i guess the things that i'm most proud of this year.. are getting my license and the centerspread editor, as well as my writing score. i'm also glad that i've gotten closer to my mom and my brother.. it's totally the little things that mean the most.
so.. i'm thinkin that i should make some resolutions for myself.. here goes:
- 1. raise my grades -- and keep them up for second semester. straight A's?
- 2. work out
- 3. help out at my parents restaurant more
- 4. stop buying things that i don't need/will never wear
- 5. stop procrastinating -- even though i don't as much anymore
- 6. do things when i say i will
- 7. stop taking (some) things for granted
- and last but not least.. the most important and i think hardest to keep: 8. BE ON TIME -- those of you who know me.. know that i'm chronically late. esp. the people in 0 per calc.. haha.
wells.. these are just off the top of my head. i most likely have much more.. but for now i'm gonna get crackin on that homework. that's all, folks!

//stress level has gone down considerably :D
EDiT//updated playlist. and HAPPY 17th to ViCKY!!
this week until today after school.. especially tuesday has been hella stressful. yesterday i was the most stressed out.. hOly crap. i wonder what finals will be like. aw man i don't even wanna think about it. i'm soo borderline in bio. i mean, GREAT, i raised my grade like 6% from like october. but it's at a 79% right now, and the only thing we have left is the final. goodness. but i was happy about my test today. especially since i took freakin like 10 pages of notes and memorized the online tutorials. haha. and i also did really well on the quiz on monday. yay =)
we also got our PSAT scores today. 80 in writing, baby ;D haha.. i was like i better get 80. but then i didn't do as well on verbal. hopefully i can qualify for the national merit scholarship thing.. i'm sOOo freakin close. arrrrrrrgh. just like on the SATs. boo. this always happens to be. it's like.. so close.. yet so far. iduno. i was also going to take megacourse at alpha, which would've slaughtered my winter break. i had been looking forward to winter break ever since school began, and then.. bam. i duno i really wanted to take it because it would've boosted my score up a lot.. but my goal was actually only like a 50 point improvement. and it's like.. not worth it because i know i can't get a 1500.. cmon i know my limits, so my mom was like "why are you going to go if your goal is only around 1450? so yeah i decided i didn't need/want to go. at first i was like.. i need to sacrifice my social life and everything if i really want to achieve my goals, but now i don't think i need to go to alpha anymore -- at least not for megacourse. i know i can study for the SATs myself since i have all the work from summer. but yeah anyway, that was what was on my mind the whole day at school today.
hm. discussions in donee are interesting. i like them. haha yeah. it's cool to hear all the different viewpoints on the stuff we're doing -- like right now, the scarlet letter. this book isn't actually that bad, it's just extremely verbose and tedious. the underlying story is pretty good, though. man and today, one of donee's former students, who's at LA right now, came to visit. danng.. freakin all IB people get into UCLA. wtf man. that totally succks ass. i think i need more extracurriculars. and i need to raise my grades. i already know f'sho that i'm not going to end up with A's in bio or calc. so sad.. i actually thought i could get straight A's this year.
wishin on a miracle.. well two:1. to qualify for the national merit, and 2. to get only one B this semester..
are those too much to ask for?
i noticed that all i talk about now is school. i'm such a nerd.

//winter break is coming.. =D!!
happy happy holidays =) it's december.. although each day at school seems so long, it's already been 3 months! crazy.. there's still 6 months until the LAST DAY. i can't wait. AP tests are looming just around the corner.. 5 months isn't that long at all. hm.. christmas songs and, more importantly, WiNTER BREAK [ in just one week! ] are getting me into the holiday spirit. annd.. i have completed my christmas shopping. all last weekend. went to ontario mills avec lawrence on saturday.. where the bulk of the presents were bought, and westco plaza with wilber on sunday.. picking up the last couple presents. yay go me! now that the shopping stress is over and done with, i "get" to concentrate more on my studies. i swear.. i'm doing soo freakn bad this year.. shiet. i need to boost my grades up in 5 classes! that means.. cutting down on internet, tv, NAPS [booo], and going out. this is gonna be hard.. but i'm gonna try my hardest and HOPEFULLY end up with 2 B's.. which is honestly not what i'd like, but realistic. one good thing.. i'm raising my bio grade. i thought i studied enough for the evolution test, but obviously not enough. those DAMN people [smartasses like willy and gene] always get 100 on the tests, which leave no curve whatsoever. i'm gonna kill those boys. =) justkidding.
and another thing. my brother left yesterday for kansas city. i'm sad.. who the hell am i going to confide in now? that bitch. hahah man. he better get into law school somewhere in socal and NOT ON THE FREAKIN EAST COAST or else i'm gonna kill someone. haha. well the only upside is that i get the house to myself now.. for the most part. well. my bathroom at least. it's gonna be clean again =) hehe.
hm soo.. it's like 4pm and i'm pretty much done with my homework. i just have to study for the ushist test, which is tomorrow. yay. and i want to.. i WILL go to prom this year =) it's gonna be bommb ass. any potential dates? we'll seee. alrighties. i think i've taken a long enough break. and i've noticed that i've been updating a lot less, but all of my entries have been pretty long. hope i haven't bored anyone yet. i'm proud of you if you got down to here =) hehe. oh yeah. my centerspread this issue wasn't that great.. how sad. haha wells.. the next one will be better -- i hope! no one reads the school newspaper anyway. lol. blah blah. off to study. toodles!

//10 more days till winter break!
tomorrow is friday. whee =D and then it's saturday.. another shopping day!! yaay. haha. hm.. so i did end up dropping by cj's with david. wilber.. sorry you couldn't make it but we'll chill some other time f'sho =) anyway.. good thing i had david with me because i couldn't see in the fckin' dark.. it was like 10 and i would've gotten lost on my own -_- haha. but then all that driving was for nothing because david had uh.. a little prob there. so.. we left and went to see haunted mansion. hm it wasn't that good.. david got scurred more than i did. whatta loser! hahah. on sunday.. i went shopping with my mom and cousin. it was supposed to be christmas shopping but AGAiN i was bein' selfish and i got stuff for myself. haha. this week has been pretty busy.. newspaper deadline is coming up on monday and i was workin on my spread for 5 hours on tuesday.. omg. good thing i'm almost done though. in contrast to my hectic tuesday, wednesday was real chill. i washed my car.. so proud of myself. and and and.. i finished my homework at 6 =O and mister coolguy lawrence dropped by to visit. thanks for the cd.. i love it =D yeah.. then i went to sleep EARLY.. at 11 =) haha. yesterday was tiight. no studying whatsoever. but.. today's busy. got 2 tests.. ugh. so i guess i should go find something productive to do.
what happened in the past can't be changed. what's done is done so stop looking back & regretting. live in the present & look forward to the future..
