Summer is Ending :(
So summer break is coming to a close. Really sad. Last week was so much fun. Went golf Monday, pool party Tuesday, water skiing Wed, Santa Cruz Thurs and Fri, movie Fri evening, Lodi Lake Sat and Sunday was chill. Nice way to end the summer break. Lucas goes back tomorrow. Sucker XD I don't go back til the 27. Tomorrow, T-ara's new song Sexy Love is supposed to come out. I really can't wait. I love it when they do songs with story lines that need to be continued but I can't stand the waiting. Just like when I had to wait so long for Lovey Dovey to come out. But it was worth it. Hopefully this second part of their first one Day by Day will be just as good. ^^ Can't wait for tomorrow :D

Graduation 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woooooooohoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
So I graduated yesterday^^
22May2012 6pm at UOP's b-ball stadium.
Was far too tired to post but I'm here now.
My speech was a hit. Apparently, all of my friends eyes went really big. It was totally unexpected. Every time I practiced, I had a monotone. Everyone was trying to show me how to yell and it just wasn't working. -____- They all said that they would just clap while they would try to stifle a laugh at my failure at trying to be excited. But I proved them all wrong. I was the loudest one. My speech was continually described as one of the most animated ones. My gov. teacher said that it was one of the best speeches he had ever heard. I think it's because he knows my personality and the way I delivered it was....not my personality at all.
All of our speeches were really good though. The salutatorian, Melissa, was about the movie "UP" (man I hope that's right. Mr. Bott taught us all about quotations and underlinings but I don't know whether movies are underlined or quotations -___-') She was able to talk so slow. Not slow but she's known for being a fast talker so we were impressed she managed to slow it down.
Mine was just totally unexpected.
The other valedictorian, Natsumi, mentioned Rack City and that's all I really heard.
We were soooo nervous beforehand. Well, we were only slightly nervous. Then as time drew closer, me and Natsumi got really scared. Melissa wasn't scared. When we all walked down into the place where we would be entering the building, that's where we got scared. We were all freaking out. As soon as we walked out though, I don't know about them, but once I got to my seat and had to wait so long for everyone else to come out, I wasn't that scared anymore. It was a long wait since we were the first ones coming out. Then we got called to come on stage. It was nice looking out at our class. The seats up there were suuuuuper comfortable. The only thing bad about being up there is that we couldn't see the faces of whoever was speaking.
I love Melissa. She was the first speaker. There were two podiums. During rehearsal earlier that day, they told us that we were to speak from the side podium. We were complaining among ourselves because we wanted to be at the center podium. When it came time to do the speeches, Melissa walked up to the center. Since she did it we had to do it also, otherwise it would've looked awkward. We're really glad she did.
Aaron said that the people behind him were sooo dumb. They thought Natsumi's speech was entirely centered on Rack City. They thought Melissa was dumb for trying to tie in our high school lives with UP and they thought I was just dumb. :/ They're entitled to their opinion but just saying, when I made a reference to the SOPA Act, they thought I was referring to soap.
Our class managed to graduate at 90% with 270 graduating out of a possible 299. I didn't think it was possible. The year started off with us at a graduation rate of about 67% Really good turnout.
We managed to actually start the ceremony right on time. All I can say is that we better having to arrive two hours early. The graduation also was quicker than expected. We were done I'm pretty sure before 8.
Being a co-valedictorian, I got some special privileges. We didn't have to pay for extra tickets. All we had to do was ask. Funny story about the tickets though. My mom is going crazy always asking for sooo many more tickets. I ended up asking for 33 extra tickets (what do you want, I'm Filipina). I could tell the principal wasn't liking it. He ended up giving me 30. The next couple of weeks, he kept asking me to make sure I had enough tickets. I said yea. Then things got crazy. We needed extra tickets because we forgot to invite someone and then we didn't need one because someone couldn't come but then he was able to come at the last second because he got the time off of work. I ended up asking my friends for tickets. Then during the rehearsal, I got the 15 original tickets. Both me and Natsumi felt kind of bad. We asked for sooo many tickets because we thought what he gave us was it. We didn't know we were still getting the origianl 15 that everyone got. So I ended up having extra. We felt bad because other's were struggling with tickets, but we were like "we'll never have this opportunity again. We're speaking, we want people to see in person" Our remorse ended very quickly. Having so many people invited though, I still don't understand why I couldn't spot one person for 30 min. at the end of the ceremony.
I didn't get a chance to see everyone because some people left early but I was told everyone invited was there. ^^ I'm glad.
Some of the things that sucked about graduation:
-Two hours of standing waiting before we could enter
-The band wasn't great
-They didn't play our Senior Song-I don't know what happened. The song we chose was "Good Life" by One Republic but they changed it to "For Good" by Stephen Schwartz. It wasn't a bad song, it's just not the song we picked.
-we had beach balls and the crowd booed when they were taken away just as someone's name was called to receive their "diploma"
-we didn't actually get our diplomas- what you see in the pic is us getting our diploma holders, we had to go to school today to get our diplomas
-Gowns made it suuuuper hot
-Couldn't find my family afterwards for about 30 minutes-we couldn't have cellphones so I borrowed from someone, I tried calling soooo many times but never got an answer. after wandering around, I finally found them. I asked why they didn't pick it up. I was told my bro. had it. I asked him, he said he had his earphones in and didn't hear it. I was ready to kill.
Other than that, graduation was a blast!
Look at me. Got on my blue NHS sash, my white MESA sash and my Pinnacle medal which you can't see. Also have my curly hair with my blood nails. Look how happy I am!!!! Up there getting my diploma holder. Don't ask me who the man is though, I don't remember -_- whoops.
So I graduated yesterday^^

Valedictorian Speech ^_^
So I sent my speech to Mr. Bott last Friday. I checked my e-mail all weekend but received no response. Then today during Calculus, I realized that I was checking the wrong e-mail. During second period, I went on the computer and saw that I still didn't have any response in my inbox. You don't know how freaked out I got.
When I got to class I asked Mr. Bott about it. He told me he really like it. He said he was sure he responded as soon as he got it and was surprised when I told him I didn't receive it. He printed it out, wrote his comments and gave it back. Those comments made me feel very good ^^
And now, here it is
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Hi. My name is Sierra Brandt and I would like an applause when I am finished.
The past couple of weeks, people have been asking me what I was going to say to everyone. Well, after weeks and weeks of thinking and planning and preparing, and being too stubborn to ask for Ms. Duangsawat’s or some other teacher’s help because that would be just too easy....I came up with nothing. Sorry. :(
So I went to Madison Sadler, and she told me what NOT to put in my speech. Being the great friend that I am, I was going to not listen to her advice at all and put everything she warned me against in this speech. I also asked Mikeala Axton for help and all she said was to tell everyone she was going to the University of Wall-mart. So now with no basis for a speech at all except for…Wall-mart, I turned to every student’s best friend-Google! Oh Google, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
Though tonight is supposed to be about us, we should first stop and thank those who helped get us here.
Parents, thank you for your love and support.
English teachers, thank you for teaching us English.
Science teachers, thank you for teaching us Science.
History teachers, thank you for teaching us History.
Other teachers, thank you for teaching us other.
Math teachers….math is really hard.
Right here is where the speech becomes more serious. Aaaaaaand I lost half of you.
Most of us walked onto this campus as freshmen. Though people always told us that high school goes by fast, we knew that graduation was light years away. Sitting in Ms. Duangsawat’s freshmen honor class, graduation was not even a dream. It seemed so far away we didn’t even bother to think about it. And now, here we are.
Our class has faced many challenges to be here tonight.
Some of us had to catch up on credits.
Many of us had to work hard trying to balance school with either a job or a sport. Possibly both.
Others of us had difficult AP or honors courses to deal with which took up countless hours of studying.
Also this year, ALL of us had to face that dreadful day when Wikipedia protested SOPA and didn’t work for a day.
After years of waiting for our chance, tonight is the night when we will all finally walk across this stage.
Tonight is the night when we will all be commended for our hard work.
And tonight is the night when we will all be able to call ourselves Stagg High School, not students, but Graduates.
Though we are being congratulated for our accomplishments of the past, please remember that this is not the end. I’m just the first speech.
OK, so my three minutes are just about up. Google said to end with a bang so people will remember me. Ummmmmm kinda weird but if Google said I need a bang, I guess it’s alright. I mean you can always trust what’s on the internet right?
So here it goes.
Explosion! Boom! Onomatopoeia! Class of 2012! Thank you. :)

Whelp, there it is.
Now for the comments.
From "So I went" to "math is really hard" there was a line to the side that said
I love all of this
The only problem he had was my reference to Ms. Duangsawat's freshmen honor class. He said I would not make the reference that specific, esp. since most of your fellow grads did not have her as a freshman. You could just say "sitting in our freshman English class...
This was pretty much his only problem.
At the end, this was what he said...
I like it. It probably is more light than what we typically imagine a valed. speech to be, but I don't think that's a problem. It makes its points and will keep the audience interested, I'm confident. Like I said to you, though, this kind of humor will demand carefully crafted timing. Just make sure to rehearse it a great deal.
I'm sooo happy that it is approved of. Now all that's left is the hard part...

Love Hina!
Though I started this a couple of weeks ago, I'm just posting about it now. It's ecchi and usually I don't read that but I've been hearing so many reviews, I had to see it. It's actually really cute and I like it a lot.
The chapter I'm reading just taught me what a shiro itten and a kou itten is. Basically they mean harem and reverse harem. Reading it though, I'm just like kou itten, story of my life. It seems that I get along with guys much easier than girls. I get along fine with girls, but for some reason, I just have a lot more fun hanging out with guys. Don't know why but whatever.
If I were smart, instead of reading this or blogging about it, I would be studying for my AP gov. test....which is tomorrow. But I'm not that smart. -___-'
On a lighter note. Mr. Bott gave me back my speech today and he really liked it. He literally put a bracket on part of it and said "I love this" I have never seen that before and you don't know how good that felt. I feel sorry for Natsumi. Everyone has said mine and Melissa's were both good and funny. Natsumi was trying to go for inspiring but her's turned out boring. Poor Natsumi :(

Grad Ticket Mishap :/
Ayyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Sooo much trouble. today, me and Natsumi went to Mr. Parks to receive our graduation tickets. He only had 20 available for each of us. I still need more so he asked me how many so he could give it to me tomorrow. My mom is so confusing. Instead of just telling me a number, she breaks it all up. Your getting 15 originally plus 5 for going to school for CST's plus I want 13 extra because you have 7 members of your family and blah blah blah. I could not handle hearing that many numbers after taking the AP Chem test and preparing for the AP calc test. My brain was completely fried. When Mr. Parks asked, I thought I only needed 5 more. Turns out, I actually need 13 extra. He is not gonna be happy when I tell him that tomorrow -__________- I'm sorry.
Mom, why couldn't you just say we needed 33 tickets!!!!!!!!!??????????????
Ay, headache.
Also, grad speech is due tomorrow <(v.v)>

Valedictorian Speech Process -____-'
So, I have to give a 3 min speech for graduation. Three minutes isn't a very long time, but this is still soooo hard. I want it to be good and memorable but all I can think of are lame things and cliches. If I put funny in, then there's a chance people may not laugh, or even worse, I'll start laughing and won't be able to compose myself. This is due to my English teacher by Friday. I think I'll be waaaay too tired to work on it tomorrow. I've known about it for a while, but I've been studying for AP tests.
Monday was the chem test. That was a bomb. I'm confident I got a 2.
Today was the Calc. I am just soooooo dead. I mean, I'm confident in the mult. choice and the non-calculator free response but the 2 calculator free response. <(-__-)> I don't wanna talk about it.
Tomorrow is the English test. Ironically enough, this is the one I am most confident in. English is my worst subject but I believe that I can pass this test. And for that I'm happy. ^_^
Tonight, I will be trying to do my speech because if I wait to do it all tomorrow, it'll be all bad, and I don't want that because this is actually kinda really important.
Why is it that hours and hours are put into this and the outcome is only a measly three minute speech. Life doesn't make sense!

Koibumi Biyori :)
Also called A Perfect Day for Love Letters.
Pretty cute. Just a bunch of short little one shots. All of the stories are pretty cute though. At first it's confusing but you get used to it. Wish there were more but I guess it's fine ^^

Love Com Complete!
This manga was sooo cute. ^^
It was such a simple realistic idea and it totally worked. Not too lovey dovey but more of two kids that are really similar and are just perfect. Also funny that they get embarrassed every time they show any sort of emotion XD
I really wish I could read the spin off Love Com D but I can't seem to find it anywhere -___-' Oh well, guess I'll just have to start on one of the 30 manga's I have down to read ^^ or if I were smart I would study for the 4 AP tests I have coming up, or you know, maybe work on my graduation speech due by next Friday, or I could start on my English final. You know, if I were smart....
But I'm not that smart (^^')>
I'll regret this later. >.<

CST week is Done
I only have a couple more days to do a crap load of work. So I'm spending my time wisely by not doing it and reading a bunch of manga. -____-' Not my best idea but I just feel soooo lazy. I'm really gonna regret this esp. since tomorrow gonna be out late and not gonna have time so I'm gonna die on Sunday. Which also can't happen because I just remembered that Once Upon a Time is starting up again. Grrrr. The only day left is today but I'm an idiot. Stupid me.
So where I'm at in the manga, Koizumi has been rejected by Otani a couple of times now. She has now given up and moved on to the new Teacher's assistant. Soooo funny. He can see that Otani likes her even though he can't see it himself. He keeps getting jealous but doesn't realize what he feels is jealously. The teacher is pretending to like Koizumi to make Otani even more jealous of him, and it seems to be working ^_^

OMG. I just installed Firefox on my computer. I absolutely love it. It's only been installed for a couple of minutes and it already trumps over ie7. I was getting tired of ie7 so I tried installing ie8. Was taking forever. Then I started looking at reviews and they all said ie8 sucked. Aaron was telling me that he liked Firefox so I looked up reviews on it. Everyone said it took a very short time to instal and was suuuper fast. I didn't think this computer was capable of going this fast. It's just wow. I wish I did this earlier. ^^

100 Years of Solitude Essay Done!! What now?
Well, the first draft is done at least. After working on it for about 8 hours straight (with minor distractions) it is finally done. Even with the distractions, I actually worked the last...whenever my last post was, straight until I finally finished it. I don't know when that was but it has to have been at least four hours of nonstop straight working. At the very least 3.5 hours. I'm tired but not in the deat kind of way. It's weird. I think if I were to lay my head down I would crash though. At least I hope I will.
Now that this is done, what now? Well, it's only the first draft. I'm just hoping that it's not confusing and that it answers the prompt. I was getting confused writing it but hopefully after all of the time and effort I put into this it's at least decent. Then again, I am kind of tired. Hopefully it will still seem good when I read it tomorrow morning -_____-'
Now that it's over, I can study for UOP's math competition. The competition is in two days, the test is incredibly hard, and I have no idea how to do ln or e. I heard that e's not that difficult but I only have two days and the way that test looks, I don't think e's going to be as easy as the person described it as being.
Next week is CST's. In theory that would mean I could sleep in since I'm senior and don't half to take them. Wrong. I still have to take my bro. to school. Then about an hour later I have to be at school anyway to take practice AP chem and gov. tests. Admist all of that, when I go home, I'll have to work on my essay. Just please please please tell me my first draft was decent so I don't have to work hard next week. I beg you \(*^*)/ If I were smart I would've worked on this essay a little sooner. He gave us the prompt on Thursday so I guess in theory I should have started it earlier so I wouldn't have screwed myself over like I did, but that would just be too easy. Why take care of it early when I can stress over it the night before?
Why did I do this to me. I hate myself. ==

Lovely Complex (^_^)
So, it's been a while since I started reading a new manga. I have a huge list of ones I'd like to read but I picked this one since it was complete. It's pretty cute. These two characters have a complex with their heights. The girl, Risa, is suuuper tall 172cm (5'8")and the boy,Ootani, is suuuper short 156cm (5'1"). They have this whole hate-love thing going on. They always act like they hate each other but their are moments when you can see that they like each other. Risa comes to realize that she does in fact like Ootani but has trouble confessing. She gives hints but Ootani is sooooo dense. It's hilarious.
Didn't know how I would feel about this one since this time it's the guy whose dense and I'm so used to the girl being the suuper dense one but so far this manga has been pretty good. The only thing I've disliked about it so far is that ch. 13 read from left to right. It was sooo confusing and I just did not like at all. Sure they gave a note at the beginning telling us to read that way but it was just sooo unnatural. I'm glad it went away the next chapter. ^^ So far I approve of this manga. But who knows, I've only read 14 chapters ^_^
One thing that really gets me is that these kids are supposed to be about 15 right now. Everytime I read a manga, I like the ones where they are older than me. When they're younger, it's kinda like, oh, I've already been through that age. Like when I read ones about eighth graders, it's just kinda eh, silly children. They're too young to know what love is. What really gets me is that even though, they're 15, the date is 2002 so in reality they would be 9 years older than me. It's soo funny to think that times actually do never change. Kids always go through the same feelings no matter how much time passes. So instead of me thinking as these two as silly kids, they would actually be looking at my experience today and thinking, 'oh silly young girl.' Funny how time is. :)
And now I know that this time essay I'm supposed to be doing rather than reading mangas has corrupted my thought pattern -___-

Lotso things March-April
Wow it's been a while since I posted. So what has happened in a couple of months.
We had our spring break. (pretty uneventful week)
Bones, The Killing, and House started new seasons. REally pissed that I forgot to tape them though >(
We finally had our NHS induction on April 4. Sooooooo late.
The day after that was the Memorial. Was soooo packed. WE all had to sit separate. I ended up sitting with Manang Imelda and her family. There was a total of 319. Many were standing in the back. I saw Holland standing and allowed her to come and sit on my lap. She enjoyed it.
We finally finished One Hundred Years of Solitude. Right now I'm supposed to be doing the essay. The first draft is due tonight. Technically tomorrow morning but there is no way that I'm going to wake up and send it over the e-mail at 5:45 am esp. with my computer. This essay is killing me though. I chose the time essay and it's all about circular time and how time has no beginning or end and doing this is really making me think and...........my brain hurts <(-.-)>
Oh, I was also appointed co-valedictorian! Sooo excited. I've been working to get this since freshman year and all my hard work has finally paid off! Now I'm just dreading the speech. No idea what I'm going to say. But for now, I'm not stressed. Need to concentrate on this essay. It's gonna be a long night -___-

Baka to Test Shoukanjuu Ni!
I just finished watching the second season to Baka and Test. Not quite as funny as the first season but their were some funny parts. Funny enough for me to want a season 3 ^^ I do really hope there is a season three. I don't know what they're gonna do it on though. It seems so complete and yet there seems like there are a million possibilities for it to go down.
I just don't know who I want to end up with Aki. Both Himeji and Shimada are sooo in love with him. Either one would suit him. I want them to end up with him and yet I can't choose between them! And he can't have both because that would be creepy. I hope they don't pair any of them up. At least not these 3 characters ;D

Myer-Briggs Personality Test
So a few days ago, my one friend asked me to take the Myer-Briggs Personality test. He said they were doing this thing in their psychology class and wanted to know my results. He did warn me that it was kinda tedious.
72 yes or no questions later *completely brain dead*-____-, this is what I get....
Your Type is
ESTJ
Extraverted Sensing Thinking Judging
Strength of the preferences %
22.... 38.... 50.... 1
You are:
slightly expressed extravert
moderately expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed thinking personality
slightly expressed judging personality
I sent this to him and then he sent me the personality page that shows what ESTJ people are like. It's scary hilarious how spot on it is XD. This is what it has to say about me. mypersonalitypage
He told me that I was the first one to get this result. Now I'm kind of curious what other types there are. o_O?

Toshiue no Hito.
So I decided to read this one-shot. REally simple cute little thing. Where I was reading it, the pages were really blurry, so I decided to try to look it up on another site to read. When I searched for it, I found a completely different manga, one that I did not want to read. For one it was mature and was only suggested for audiences 18+. Not exactly my kind of reading. -__-' I went back and forth between the two sites trying to figure out the difference. Eventually I saw that they story I was reading had a little period at the end after Hito. That one difference made the difference between sweet shoujo romance and mature ecchi romance. The story I read was pretty cute. Wish it was more than a one shot, but then again, it was pretty cute like this. ^^
MESA Day 2012
Today was MESA Day!!! It was a pretty good day. I participated in the calculus test and Balsawood Bridge Competition. The calc test was hard. The bridge comp. (Civil Structures) is where you build a bridge out of balsa wood sticks. It sounds easy but there are soooo many technical rules. Angles have to be 30<= degrees, can't be more than 95grams, must have a span of at least 25cm, total length must be =<40, height must be =<21cm and it must clear 10<= Jonathan really wanted to push this bridge to the limits. WE had a couple of angles at the top that were exactly 30degrees and then our clearance was exactly 10cm. If we got DQ'd, I would have killed him, or at the very least made him buy me a burger. Our bridge ended up being legal; however, we didn't win anything :( 
Even though we didn't win anything, I still had a great time. I saw my little cousin Makayla (I hope that's how you spell her name). She was in the middle school Popsicle bridge competition. Her bridge ended up getting DQ'd though. She explained why but I didn't really understand.
Later,I met up with some old Commodorks and we had a great time together. Saw Maicy and Vanisha (both of them now go to SECA).
Then I also saw Andy, Jennifer, Jamie and Carey.
Carey won a medal for something and then Andy won a medal in Civil Structures. Darn you Andy! Overall, it was a really good day. ^^

Font Unicorn!?
So I was trying to find Times New Roman as the font for my gov. responses. When I tried typing it in, it wouldn't work. It kept taking me to TimeScrDLig. It simply would not allow me to get Times New Roman. However, since I had to scroll the manual way, I did discover that I own some interesting fonts. Fonts such as Bazooka, BoogieWoogie, chick, chiller, desertdoghunk, unicorn, etc.....
Honestly, kind of grateful my computer had a moment of stupidity and wouldn't let me find Times New Roman. These new ones sound soooo much better ^^

Got a New Router!!!!
So yesterday, my dad went to RadioShack to find out about something that would give us Netflix or something. What we found out is that in order to advance anything, we would need a router, so we got the cheapest one and got a one year warranty. Now I get internet in my room!!!! That Once upon a time post was actually the first one that came from my room but still, this is soooo cool!!! Never thought i would be able to do this from my room. Yea, the computer's a little slower but it's still waaaay faster than our old one ^^
Gave myself a little heart attack though. I accidentally pressed something so the wi-fi got shut off and then I couldn't find out connection anymore! I searched and searched but couldn't find it. A few seconds ago though, I clicked on the internet and Diagnosed the connection problem and it magically found it somehow. It was weird, it was like in the middle of trying to find it and then something at the bottom of my computer pops up saying that my signal connection is strong WHILE the internet is still trying to find the signal. It's weird. I'm just happy that now it's fixed. :D

Once Upon A Time
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!
Last night's episode was soooo awesome!!!! Mr. Gold was locked up and there was the whole Beauty and the Beast thing going on. It's just Ahhhhhh!!!
I feel soooo bad for Rumplestiltskin.(Hope I spelled that right^^) He thinks Belle is dead but he's not. Then that whole part where he's behind the bar and she keeps asking him who he is, that part was pure genius. Love him love him love him!!!
Something that doesn't make sense though, how could she not know who he is???? It's sooo obvious who he is so why didn't the queen know. She looked so surprised when he told her and yet she knew exactly what the guy should steal from him. HOW DOES THAT WORK!!!???
It reminds me of Chip from Beauty and the Beast. He's the only reason the curse doesn't make sense! If they were supposed all like that for 10 years, how does chip exist!? He looks about 5 tops. Then there's the theory that perhaps they were frozen at that age but then it wouldn't make sense for the beast. He had until his 21st birthday to find true love. If he was indeed frozen with his looks and it's been 10 years, then that is how he must have looked when he was 10? I don't think so! Chip, you are the only reason this curse fails!!!! THis is why I hate fairytales but then this is also why I love them ^^

AAA
I just finished reading AAA. NOt a long thing. Only about 15 chapters. Pretty cute. NOt the best but it was still nice. NOt really memorable though. I just finished and I don't seem to remember any of their names. Kinda sad but whatever. WAs just too short plus it was about eighth graders. Kind of younger than usual so it was kinda like whatever. Also since it was 15 chapters, the conflict was short and resolved quickly. Pretty cute though. ^^

Nerd Jokes! One-liners
Oh how I love all of these. They're sooo great. XD
You fascinate me more than the fundamental theorem of calculus.
If I were an integral, I'd fill you up.
By looking at you I can tell you're 36-25-36, which by the way are all perfect squares.
Baby, you're a 9.999999999...but you'd be a 10 if you were with me.
If I was sin^2 theta and you were cos^2 theta together we would be 1
You know.. it's not the length of the vector that counts... it's how you apply the force
Our love is like dividing by zero.... you cannot define it
Let's discover our coefficient of friction
I less than three you..... (i < 3 you)
Whoops, I think my binomials just expanded
Excuse me, ma'am, but can I get your seven significant digits?
i'll be the one over your cosx an baby, we can have secx!
Baby, we've got chemistry together... next period.
At absolute zero, you would still move me.
On a scale of 1-10, you're a solid e to the power of pi
I don't know if you're in my range, but I'd sure like to take you home to my domain.
Your body has the nicest arc length I've ever seen.
You're as sweet at 3.14.
You must be massive because I'm attracted to you.
You and I must have the same natural frequency, because we resonate together.
Can I plug my solution into your equation?
You have 206 bones in your body... want one more?
Lets make love like pi; irrational and never ending
we've been differentiating for too long, lets sum it up and integrate
you and i add up better than a riemann sum
Your beauty defies real and complex analysis.
my love for you is a monotonically increasing unbounded function
Your hotness is the only reason we can't reach absolute zero.
You must be a magnetic monopole because all i get from you is attraction
You're cute, I'm cute, together we're 2cute!
If I toss a fair coin, what are my chances of getting head?
i'm sine and you're cosine, wanna make like a tangent?
you must be absolute, because every time you're around me, i feel positive
There are only three kinds of people in this world...those who can count and those who can't.

Hana Yori Dango Complete!
Well, after being with this for 242 chapters, I am finally done. I really loved this manga, it was so sweet. I just don't like how it ended. It just seems so incomplete. I think there must be chapters missing because the last two chapters are just so inconsistant. If there was a chapter in between the last and second to last, I would be more pleased. I tried looking up the plot on Wiki but unfortunately it's one of those with not a lot of info. I did find out that there is an anime but it says that it deviates really far from the manga so sayang. Overall, the manga was great. ^^
CIP finally done!!!
Wow, after months of worrying about CIP, I finally have it finished. Well almost finished. My part is done. All that's left is the letter of recomendation. That'll be easy though. I already asked the teacher and it's all done online so she said she'd do it for both me and Aaron. I am soooo happy that essay is out of the way.
Now all I have to do is
4essays, a reflection, read a play, read a chapter of another book, answer 10 questions for gov, do chem and then all of my homework will be complete. Huh, 4 ap classes can be a read downer sometimes. -____-

Hana Yori Dango!!!
Yea, so you know how I just finished reading Kare Kano on Saturday. I'm on chapter 99 of this new manga called Hana Yori Dango. Now, these chapters are a little shorter than Kare Kano but still they're like 25 pages each. That's still a lot of reading to already be on chapter 99. This is getting to be an addiction. I love this whole Tsukishi Tsukasa drama. I just wish names in manga weren't all so similar. REally hard to tell who's who when you first start out. After 99 chapters though, I have everyone straightened out. Amazing how that works.
I still need to finish my homework. I need to read "Fern Hill"~Dylan Thomas and "Ulysses"~Alfred, Lord Tennyson
I've read Fern Hill and it sounds pretty nice. Haven't come close to starting on Ulysses. I wish I had time to start this yesterday :'(

Kare Kano ch 72
So I was trying to find the scene where Soichiro yells at Yukino. I had my suspicions when that happened but I was hoping that it wasn't real. I hoped that he didn't go that far. I hoped Yukino was still innocent. Very intense chapter. Hard to believe there's such a happy ending from here.

Kare Kano!!!!
*Spoiler alert*
So I just finished reading Kare Kano. I could not believe it!!!!
Yukino reveals that she's pregnant!!!! That one chapter with her and Soichiro. I didn't think they actually did it. I didn't think he would do that to her. Still completely shocked by it. They haven't even graduated yet! Yukino's dad took it a lot better than I expected. That was sooo funny though when her parents were talking and her dad say "She's too young to even kiss" Yea....
Overall, I loved the manga. <3<3<3 Even though it's finished, I think it had a very nice ending. Wrapped everything up nicely. ^^

Yippee!!! Ears pierced!!!
so today my mom totally surprised me. She took me to the mall and we shopped a little. Soon we were in the middle of the mall. I was like "Mom, what are you looking for" and then she was like here it is. She told me I was going to get my ears pierced. I have been asking her and she said I could get them when I turned 18 (this is a second ear piercing BTW) I was soooo surprised when she told me I was getting them done now. ( I don't turn 18 for 4 more months) She said that I might as well get them now so all of my friends could see before I graduate. She told me this was my grad. present. I'm sooo happy. Thanks mom!!!!! :D

I was reading Kare Kano and the kids were having a convo. about a murder mystery show. Chapter 66 page 12, one of them says "When a character who gets a lot of screen time in the beginning and who suddenly fades into the background! They might as well write MUREDERER on his forehead!"
Finally!!! Someone who understands. For the past three years, I've noticed that trend while watching Bones. They never mix it up. Maybe once in like 60 episodes but they always do the obvious who is cleared, then someone tooo obvious, then they get cleared magically at the end and a new piece of evidence appears which convicts the original person! Sooo easy.

Unexpected Surprises
Don't you love that feeling when you're just browsing through a store and then all of a sudden you find something amazing you weren't even looking for!
I found an Audrey Hepburn shirt, in my size, for $5.99. Need I say more?

Freewrites
It's not that hard! It's really not! Then why oh why can't I do them. All I have to do is read the poem and then right 300 words of my own opinion. I don't know why but I can't seem to concentrate. I know it's easy. I know that I have to do it. I know I don't have time to waste. So why am I wasting soooo much time. I feel like I have soooo much time. I don't know. 300 words isn't even a lot. I've done e-mails to friends longer than 300 words. I've done e-mails to friends longer than 1000 words so why can't I do something as simple as stating my opinion in 300 words! ugggghhh.
Stupid Internet!

Lovey-Dovey
I was right, it's sooooooo much better when you understand what they're saying. That end part really makes it.
In case you can't tell, my essay is done. I did keep my promise. I didn't go on until after I finished. It is now 12:06 and I still need to take a shower. :/
In 5.5 hours I'm gonna have to wake up for school. hehehe. Wake up. I"m still up now. At least it shouldn't be too bad. Tomorrow first period Calculus, we're gonna have a sub and all we have to do is our homework, which I've already done. Then in third period Art, we're mixing colors together with paint. I've already finished that too. Pretty easy day up til lunch. :)
Good night!!! I'm finally getting off!!!! :D

Goal
To finish my essay before midnight and not get distracted by the Internet. I really need to concentrate. I have put on Lovey Dovey by T-ara eng sub as my prize for completing. While I do my essay, it will buffer and when I'm done I can finally see the long awaited part 2 eng sub. :D Pretty good motivation. All that's left is to publish this and then go straight to my essay. :)
P.S. I can hear my bro snoring through the wall. Wish I could be asleep, but that's what I get for being a slacker :/ Oh well.

Final Draft -___-
WEll, the first draft went pretty good. I was sooo stupid though. I forgot to finish a couple of sentences. -____-' Oh well, at least it was only a first draft. I also made a wrong interpretation. I said that the kids isolated Christmas because he was darker. I thought that sounded funny but I kept reading and reading that part and I convinced myself. I don't feel too stupid though because a couple of other kids made the same mistake. One problem I did have was showing that I didn't believe Christmas was black. I thought I made it clear that the town perceived him as such and once it was in their heads it was there. I guess this idea was only in my head because one of my group members and the teacher pointed out that he wasn't actually black. *I know he's not!* >.<
Working on the final draft right now. It's not as hard as working on the first draft. I pretty much have it down. I just need to make it a little more clean. Need to bring out my ideas about Joe Christmas' alienation and it's because of society's defined categories and blah blah blah.
I also need a better intro and conclusion. I think I came up with a pretty good title though. It has been changed from "El Titulo" to "Assumptions to Alienations"
Kind of eh but I think it's good enough. :)
Guess now it's back to the grind ;__; Waaaah!

Doooooonnnnnnnneeeeee!!!!!!!!
I have finally finished my essay. I completely hate it. WEll not completely but I know it's not nearly anything close to how it was in my head. I'm just sooooo tired. After I've printed out 4 copies of this stupid thing out for, I realized I forgot to fix an error. One of my topic sentences was incomplete. I pute a huge elipses so I would come back to it later but I forgot. Oh well, at least it's a first draft. But after all of the freakin hard work I put into this stupid thing, you wouldn't think so....hopefully.
BTW In case you're wondering, I needed four drafts. I have to give one to the teachers and one to each member of my writing group. Lot's of ink and paper but that's OK. I just wish I remembered to fix that stupid error before I printed it out! 12 sheets of paper!!!!
When I'm in college next year, I'll laugh at this. XD
Oh the sad part is, that statement is probably true -_________-

Cutie Boy Complete!
I am a terrible person!!! I have a huge essay due Monday but I have not been doing it. Instead, I have wasted the entire day reading mangas and manhwas. I have read the entire Cutie Boy manhwa in one day. That's 39 chapters! I have been on the computer for about 12 hours supposed to be doing my essay but instead I've been reading Cutie Boy. I'm gonna pay for this. -_____-
Cutie Boy was cute. It's so great. I love it when the main charaters are dense. Usually I don't like it when the girl is all lovey-dovey and the boy is dense but this was pretty good. I think it's because Yoo Min was also violent which made his denseness not become so apparant.
I wish that Yoo Min and Mi Yoo didn't look so similar. Their names are soooo similar and the only thing that really let me tell them apart was Yoo Min's earing. But really! Same build, both crazy captains of violent gangs. What the heck. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the manhwa. The only thing that would make it better would be if it read right to left. More chapters would also be nice, except....THIS ESSAY NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED!!!!!!!

Cutie Boy ^^
I just began to read this new manhwa. Since OHSHC is over, and I have just completed all 18 chapters of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, I needed to find something new.
I looked for something under comedy, shoujo, drama and school life and this popped up. At first I was sooo confused because it was reading all weird. Like it didn't read the right way and some of the words were strange. Then I found out that it was actually a manhwa rather than a manga.
At first it was really weird because I'm just so used to reading manga's which read right to left but after a couple chapters it became easier to read.
I feel so sorry for both Lee Han-ah and Suh Yoo Min. Han-ah because she's in this troubling relationship and Yoo Min just because he is sooo freakin dense. Well actually they're both pretty dense but Yoo Min is just so misguided.
Overall it's pretty cute, except for the fact that Yoo Min cusses like a lot. It's not that bad because it's all censored out, but when I read it I still know what he's saying. -____-' They do the weird thing with the first letter shows and the rest are the *****.
I really like it though. I'm on chapter 14. It's bad though. I have this huuge essay due Monday but I'm wasting all of my time on this. I knew I shouldn't have searched for a new manga. All they do is distract me from what I need to be doing. *sigh*

Ouran Koukou Host Club
A couple days ago, I finished the manga. It was soooo cute. Ended waaaay better than the anime, but then what do you expect when you try to shove 90 chapters into 26 episodes. I heard there's a live action movie coming out and I'm totally stoked. Guess in my free time, I'll just have to find a new manga to read. That or I could watch the live action TV series they made ^^ OHSHC FTW!!!!!
Fafsa Grrrrr
WHy is the Fafsa so freaking hard to fill out. It's just fill in the blank but I cannot figure out the school selection part. It's like state city school name or federal school code. Easy enough right? WRONG! Everytime I try and push next it's like you need to pick a school. When I search, it says wait while I search for your schools til either my session expires or my computer turns on the screensaver. I have a little over a month to do this if I have any chance of getting into the CIP program at UOP. If only I could figure this stupid thing out!!!!

T-ara Lovey Dovey
The new T-ara video finally came out today. After weeks of waiting it's finally here. When I watched it, I don't know, I was expecting so much more. Maybe it will be better when the subbed video comes out. I was only able to see part one of the video subbed so I had to watch the second half without translations. I hope I'll like it when i actually no what they're saying because as of right now, it's kind of disappointing. Not saying it wasn't a great video. Just kind of below what I expected. -____-' *sigh*
Polar Plunge 2012
It's finally 2012!!! Here is how our Polar Plunge January 1 at 9:00am went.
Here we are when we arrived:
And then us right before the jump. AS you can see, it's foggy and cold.
And here is the end result.
You can see we actually did it because we're wet. You may be wondering what it was like. WEll, each stroke feels like icy death, but once you pull yourself out of the pool the weather no longer feels cold. YOu can't feel your feet or anything really but you're no longer cold. The shower afterwards is the best feeling there is. Do I have any regrets...no. WAs it worth it...Duh! You're only cold for a little bit plus you get a nifty sweater! IF I didn't do it I would regret it later. Can't wait to do it again next year!!!!!
