CE: Earthquake

I'm sitting here in my Pre-cal class taking notes like a good girl, and then BOOM. Oh my god, I was terrified. I wasn't sure if someone was just jumping but then the whole room started moving. I started shaking. lol, I do not take earthquakes well. That was so scary. I was so about to like go under my desk but then it stopped, and everyone in the classroom didn't seem to be freaking out. So I heard it was like a 3.9 or 4.5 earthquake? I don't know, but I know I was pretty scared. It kinda took me a while to get over it, but then of course we all had to continue our notes and yeah.

So when I was younger, I like never got to experience earthquakes, we always had earthquake drills or something, but never an actual one. But in the past few months, I've gone through three small earthquakes, but big enough to feel it. I don't remember having this many when I was younger. It's pretty shocking, well not that much I guess. But we haven't had a big earthquake yet.. The last big one around here was in 1989 I think. I feel like another big one is coming. Need to get ourselves prepared! Every time we feel an earthquake happening, most of us don't even go under a desk or something for protection, most likely, people run to the computer and tell Facebook. And during the one in school today, everyone just kind of sat there in shock. No one went under their desk, I just heard people screaming./laughing. I don't think a lot of people took it seriously.

FREE: A lot of Changes

Looking back on my freshman year, oh god. lol. Let's just say that year sucked. Like it sucked a lot. I'm not going to get into detail, because I hate thinking of negative things. Let's just say I lost a lot of friends. And because of that, I just gave up on people. I didn't even bother trying to meet new people. Anyways, this year, I told myself I'd be more open, and try to make new friends, since I never tried last year. Wow, I'm so much happier. New friends = happiness. I've been keeping more of a positive attitude, since I had such a negative one freshman year. And I haven't been letting people walk all over me, or talk down on me. That was a big issue last year that affected me greatly.

I like hated everyone. haha. I was such a hater before. But that was because I never tried to get to know people more. I don't know why I always automatically assumed that people would hate me. This year, I got to know people better, and met amazing new friends. More hangouts, more fun, more laughs, something I haven't done in a while.. So, so far I've been liking this new year, and I hope I continue to for the rest of the year. Got a long way til the end of high school, but it's probably going to go by fast. High school messes a lot of people up, but you decide on how you want to handle it. Yep.

RP: I'm a Lazy Texter

I saw this on Kristy's blog,

"Honestly, I don’t think I really need a phone anymore."

I remember I never had texting until the end of freshman year. Oh my gosh, do you know how excited I was? Pretty darn juiced. Anyways, over time, I just got really lazy, and I'm the slowest replier you'll ever meet. Well I don't know actually, haha. But yeah, I'll get a text and just look at my phone and throw it on my bed or something. I guess I just feel there are more important things I could do than reply to that text. To be honest, I'd only reply to someone if I like you,or you're cute. Or unless it's really important. And to the others that just text me a lot or on a daily basis, I'll reply slow or fast, but I'll eventually get to it.

Recently, I don't get as many texts as I used to, because I assume people got tired of texting me. lol. I would get tired of texting me too. Oh yeah, I like never answer calls too. So my phone's just there, and I have no use for it anymore. No one hits me up, and I like never hit anyone up because of my laziness. But I kind of miss when no one texted. Only called. I think it's more fun. But people are constantly texting or talking behind a screen, it makes it awkward to talk on the phone.Or that's how I see it. Ah, technology, gotta love it!

CE: RIP Steve Jobs.

I know I already made a post about him for another assignment, but I felt the need to do it again for my current events post. Steve Jobs was one of the most inspirational characters anyone can look up to. He has many famous quotes because of his pure knowledge. He really changed the world today, I just can't imagine what it would be like if the Apple industry never existed. So many people use an apple device in their everyday life. Whether it's for music, phone, computer, games, anything, it's such a big part of people's lives. Apple is one of the most successful companies out there, and all because of one person, Steven Jobs. The creator of this genius brand.

When he died, it affected so many people. I can't stress how many people love the Apple company. I love it. It's become so popular because it is just complete intelligence. And it all started in his Silicon Valley garage. It has improved our lives in so many ways. Even  Apple says, "The world is measurably better because of Steve." Seeing that he passed away is really sad. I wonder what Apple is going be now. It'll probably still be really successful, but it won't be the same without him anymore. People will forever mourn over him, but may he rest in peace. ): 

RE: Weather, why must you be so difficult?!

As my homie nugget Gendarme says,

"The weather in Bay Area has been really bipolar than usual. This whole week has been sunny, rainy, and vice versa all in one day." 

All I can say is why. WHY? Why must you be so hard to read. Global Warming is getting pretty bad. Imagine what it's going to be like a couple years from now. It gives me the chills. Our poor earth is in such bad condition right now. I hope we can do something about it. And it's been pretty hard to tell what the weather is going to be. A couple days ago, I wore a short-sleeve and no jacket because the weather told me it was going to be like 70 degrees. But no, it fucking rains in the morning, and I look like a complete dumbass in the morning. But right when lunch is about to start, it gets super sunny, and actually kind of warm. So I guess it was okay of what I wore.

Anyways, the Bay Area has never had extreme weather conditions like these. We've been going through some bumpy weather these past few weeks. It's gone from super hot, to rainy and cold. And then rainy to super hot. I don't understand. Well I do, because of Global Warming, but it's just so weird. I just can't take these constant mood swings the weather has been giving us. And the weather forecast has been giving me mixed signals of the temperature for the day. Man, the weather needs to get off its fucking period. I wish we'd have the right temperature for the season we're in. It's the middle of October, and things are supposed to be cooling down. But I heard tomorrow's weather is going to be like 81. Whoopty whoop. And then it's supposed to rain next week, as what the weather channel is "telling me" which I don't fully trust now. lol. I'm going to go loco.

Free: Addiction to the Internet.

Where do I begin? Our whole life is part of the internet. We like literally live off it. I don't know what would even happen to some people if they didn't have internet for like a week or a month. Our world is so complex now with the internet. Back in the days, our school would never use it. Some teachers didn't even know what it was. But now, most of the assignments/homework/grades are all on the web. It's crazy, really. And using the internet for fun? I can honestly say I'm like addicted to certain websites. Like Facebook, and others. I can stay on the computer for hours, and not even realize it.

But thinking of all the time I waste on the internet is terrible. I want to go and do something more productive, fun, energetic. It's just so hard now. The internet is like a necessity. Most people need it in their lives. And many people are addicted to it. But I guess there are some advantages to the web. My point is, SOMETIMES I wish internet didn't even exist so it wouldn't distract me from like homework, or things I want to do. Or maybe I can try taking a break from my computer for like a week, I want to see if I can do it. Except for homework, and school online stuff of course.. It's not going to be easy, but I know for a fact that I would get so much more things done faster and without distractions.

BC: Just Livin' Life.

I strongly agree with Steve Job's advice because it speaks words of a genius. Obviously, Steve Job's got very far and sucessful in his life because he lived by his advice. He was the creator of Apple, and because of him, our whole world changed dramatically. He truly is an inspirational character and his advice is what got him to where he is. The most genius, repspected, legendary, creative person. And probably much more.

I think that everyone should really take this advice to heart. You never know if tomorrow is promised. So live everyday like it's your last. Because death will come no matter what. I've never really lived by this advice yet, but I really do believe I should. There have been so many things that I've wanted to do, but never got to. I kept telling myself that I would do it later, and I kept saying this like everyday, and never got to it. If I told myself that I would die soon, I would probably achieve so many things in life. If only I had the courage. I'd probably learn a lot about myself too.

Why leave things un-answered, and having that thought eat your mind of "what if"s. Try things out, you never know what may happen. If something bad happens, just get back up and keep walking. If something good, then hell yes, success! For all the people who have always wanted to do something, but never could because of lack of encouragement, remember that death will come and dying without even trying it out will just leave it unsatisfying.

Just typing this and thinking of all the things Steve Job's has accomplished leaves me amazed. Because of him, we have all these cool electronic stuff. The iPod, iPod Touch, iPad, Macbook, and more. Our world would be so different if he never came into the picture. He died with a great name. Rest in peace. Look how far he has gone, he followed his heart, and it lead him to accomplish his big dreams. Don't you want to be like that? Well, we all have our own opinions, but I surely would. I have so many big dreams out there, and hopefully I follow my heart and lead them.

So to all the people who trying to make big choices in their life, just do it. Go for it. You don't know what's going to happen until you actually try it. I know you probably hear that a lot, and it's so common to say, but it's true. It's very true. Yep, that famous quote "you never know unless you try." If you ever wanted to become a singer, try to get a recording contract. If you ever wanted to do something crazy, do bungee jumping or something. If you wanted to join a sport, go try out. If you ever wanted to approach that pretty girl or cute boy, go and talk to them. You got nothing to lose. If it doesn't turn out so well, that embarrassment will just fall away in the face of death, like Steve Jobs says. And once you actually accomplish any of your dreams, you will feel pretty damn good. haha.

RE: Be Optimistic Not Pessimistic.

"Do not let unnecessary problems ruin your day. Keeping a positive attitude creates a healthy mind. The real difference between happy positive people and unhappy negative people is their willingness to change and adjust their attitudes in any and every situation. Life goes on. Keep it moving."

Casandra has words of a genius. People these days seem to drown themselves in thoughts of their past mistakes, or their daily problems. We all need to remember that we're all imperfect, and that you're not the only one. Everyone goes through these daily obstacles, it just makes us stronger. We learn from them, and then we move on. No need to cry and get sad over these unnecessary things. They're just part of the cycle of life. Keeping a positive mind will make you happy. Keeping a negative one will just make you angrier and angrier each day. And no one likes being around someone like that!

It's like you're walking, and then you happen to trip on a rock. Do you just stay there, cry, and be miserable? No, you get up, and keep walking even though how bad the fall was. Same thing with daily problems we go through. If something bad happens, keep your head up, and look at as many positive things you can from that situation. If there aren't.. you just gotta keep on moving! It will get better, it's not the end of the world, and you will live. There are so many things to be happy for, believe me. Don't let one thing ruin that.

CE: Run From the Po-Po!

So I come home this fine Thursday evening, and I hear a bunch of helicopters and I see a bunch of blinking blue and red lights. I look outside my window, and see a bunch of polices all down my whole block. And if I hear helicopters, I know something bad must have happened. I go outside, and try to figure out what happened. No fire, no ambulance, no one seemed to be injured. I asked a lady what happened, and she said the cops were looking for someone in that white house. And I thought it was funny that no cop actually went in the house yet. And there were like 13905729852 cops there. (I'm exaggerating) So I stand there for a while, and another man in a bike says that it was a cop chasing after another car for blocks back and forth, and they finally decided to stop at that one white house. He told me he saw it, and the man in the car just kept yelling, "Fuck the police," or something like that. lol. People were telling me that that house was known as the "drugee house."

I don't know why that man running from the cops would go through all that trouble running from the cops back and forth when they know that sooner or later, they will catch them eventually. Why not just get everything over with, since we all know it's going to happen. That person thought stopping and running into that house was going to stop everything and that the cops would just away. The police have been waiting outside this person's house for quite a while now, and they haven't come out yet. But that person is dumb as hell and needs to get his lesson learned!

FREE: The Rain

Meh, I'm not a big fan of the rain, but after that super hot week last week, it feels nice and relaxing. I like hearing the sound of it. I just don't like getting wet in it. But in this cold weather, you can put on as many layers of clothes you want and be warm and comfy. In the heat, man, it's blazing. I get all sweaty and yucky. And plus, I get super cranky. But now that it's starting to get cold, I feel more at ease and I don't know. Everything just seems more peaceful to me. lol, I'm weird. And I like winter clothes too, they look cute.

Anyways, I'm actually looking forward to this winter season, there's so many fun holidays coming up! Like Halloween, Thanksgiving, my BIRTHDAY, Christmas, all these are like my favorite part of the year. And these holidays = longer breaks from school. I'm really excited. And that's when everyone starts putting up their lights on the houses and it just looks really beautiful to me. Everyone's mood kind of changes too. People get more happier and merrier, or is it just me. Parties, presents, candy, turkey, lights, trees, mistletoes... and all that good stuff is already making me filled with joy. I pray nothing bad happens, and everyone will have a good time this winter season. Anyways, we have a three-day weekend, and I can't wait to sleep in. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! :)

Essay: Humanity

We all question what we are. We have all these theories, opinions, research, but we all still don't know the true definition of our own species. The population of our species has counted to 7 billion people in this world. Each and every one of us have our own unique personality. We may have some similar traits, but there is only one you in this world. And there will never be an identical.

Our personality makes us who we are. No one else does. The way we act, our thoughts, our opinions, our mental capability, language, social interactions, etc, all creates one you. It creates a person. Our personalities produce our self description. There is no "type" of person. We all have a bunch of personality traits that define us as a person. One person may be very outgoing, while another is super shy. One person may be really educated, while the other is a little bit slower in learning. One may be nice, while the other is mean. One may be quiet about their thoughts, while the other is blunt and straight forward. One may be silly and funny, while the other is serious. One may be athletic, while the other is not. The point is is that all these things build up to a wonderful personality that creates a beautiful you.

People today rely on other's personality to keep them interested. While meeting someone new, for example. But we have these unique personality traits that no other species has. Animals usually don't socialize towards each other and get to know each other more. Well maybe they do, but not the way we do. Humans like to sit down and talk about interesting things. It's a great opportunity to reveal your personality. The way we behave is very unique.

Our personality influences many things. It determines whether or not if we think with our head or our heart. The media and technology are a major factor that causes our personalities. Our peers and parents also influence our personality. As well as genes, religion, culture, and most importantly, yourself. The way we look, how we grew up, popularity, our surroundings, all create you. Something that is very important to us world-wide is our zodiac sign. It's known to define us and our personality. The description for each symbol amazes me as to how many different unique people there are out there. I'm going to talk about some human characteristics that really grab my attention.

One thing that really interests me is the characteristic of conscientiousness. I think that we are very lucky to have our conscience guide us through things. Whether if it will lead you to success or consequences. Being a teenager, we get tempted to do many things that could lead to HUGE problems. Our conscience steps in, and helps us choose whether with our mind or our heart, like I said earlier. Our conscience shows how good we are self disciplined. If it is high, there are many advantages. If they are low, people are most likely to make bad decisions and succumb to weakness of the will. A low conscience is risking. But there are some bad things about having a very very high conscience. People with excessive conscientiousness have OCD, or obsessive - compulsive personality disorder. In this world today, there are many daily activities going on where it is important to respond in either a positive or negative way. A high conscience will keep you looking in positive directions that will reward you later.

Another thing is extraversion and introversion. The trait extraversion, is fun, cheerful, ambitious, hard-working, and maybe like to be the center of attention. As for introversion, it's more on the shy side, or maybe just like to fewer social activities. I think our social life is huge part of what makes our personality. Socializing is the main part to show off your characteristics and who you are, to see if people will accept you or not. This is one of the main parts of humans - socializing. The way we act towards others adds a lot more excitement and entertainment to our life. If we were all the same, plain and boring, we wouldn't have anything to look forward to. Like surprises and such.

Our openness towards life really amazes me. Humans have a wide source of imagination that creates new ideas that add more success to this world. Our ability to think beyond our senses is really outstanding sometimes. We are all smart in our own ways, and open to many new things.

One more thing - our environment and the media. We humans tend to go with what is "cool" these days. There are so many examples that I can name, but these ideas, looks, etc, have had a huge impact on what creates who you are. Some are positive and some are negative. It's all up to you and your conscience. But our species have seem to be low on self confidence and accepting who they are all because of our generation. Maybe this isn't how humans were a few generations ago, but today, this is how it seems to me. I think that we have changed a lot these past years. The way we act, our personality has changed dramatically.

So this is how I define humans today. We are one the most unique species out there. And our personality is how I define who we are, and what we are. The characteristics that I have gone over are the ones that I find most appealing to me, and are a very important factor to our personality. Each and every one of us in this big world have one and only one personality that makes us human. We are all alike in many ways, but we will never ever be the same. And I thank you whoever made us that way, or else we'd all be boring and the same. Remember that there is only one you in a 7 billion world of people. But there is one thing that all humans have in common, we all strive for happiness.

BC: Darkness

I lay here, in the dark. Thinking of all the choices I can make. In an empty room, clicking my fingernails on the hard wooden floors. From my pinky to index finger. Thinking hard. Loneliness has stepped inside of me. There's sadness and anger in my eyes. My fists tighten as my tears come streaming from my face. It drips slowly down my face to my mouth, I lick my lips quickly, and taste that saltiness in my tears. I wipe my tears with my sleeves, I feel the wetness soaking into my arms, my fists still tightened. I slowly unloosen my fists, feeling weakened. Feeling useless, worthless, and that there's nothing I can do about it. More tears come bursting out uncontrollably, I can feel myself breathing heavier and heavier. Next thing I know, I'm sobbing, trying to stop myself from all this nonsense. Shaking my head and telling myself that I am better than this. My tears have started to cool down, but that sadness is still eating inside me. How do I make it stop?

I have lost count of time, I didn't care. I told myself repeatedly that I will succeed. Saying it out loud to myself countless times, as I hear the soft echo in this empty small dark room. I lay down flat on this hard floor, trying to sleep. Trying to run away from all my problems with a quick nap. But it's impossible to sleep, with thoughts drowning in my head. I get sweaty all the sudden. I feel my back getting wet as I lay there, and my forehead dripping liquids. I feel a rush of heat going through my body from head to toe. I touch my face, and it's incredibly hot. I needed to get out of this place, fast. 

I get myself up quickly, as I run around looking for an opening to a way out, bumping into walls. I finally find the door, I open it and expected to see a way out, but there's another dark room, but larger. I walk slowly, hearing the floors creak every step I take. Sliding my hands against the wall to guide my every move. And then all the sudden my foot gets stuck on something, and as I try to keep going forward, I can't and I feel my body rushing towards the ground. I put out my elbows quickly to save myself from falling flat on the ground. Pain is hitting every inch of my body. I lay there, feeling like giving up. I wanted to stay there forever, to fall asleep, and never awaken. But I told myself No. I'm not giving up. I used all my force and the little energy left in my body to pull myself up. My arms wiggling feeling weak as I try to get up. I catch my breath for a quick second and continue my journey. I walk slowly. And my pace becomes faster and faster. Everything is dark, but I can see a very tiny bit of light all the way down the room. I walk faster. I can feel myself starting to run. And in a long time, I felt a rush of happiness and excitement. As I get closer and closer, the light gets bigger and bigger. I open the door. There's sunlight - and a smile.

RE: I'mperfect

"peers can also have an effect on how one sees beauty."

This explains so much.  Society today is so judgmental. Us boys and girls try really hard just to get noticed. But whatever we do, no matter how hard we try, people will continue judging more and more. It makes us want to work harder just to be accepted into society. Sometimes, I wish I can have that "I don't give a fuck attitude" but honestly, I can never have that. When someone tells me something bad, I take it to heart. Even though, I'm always telling others I'm fine, I'm not. I over think. If our society wasn't so judgmental, maybe girls wouldn't be starving themselves to be skinnier, or showing their cleavage everywhere, or wearing makeup (like I do). Maybe guys wouldn't be trying to have that nice body, over-working themselves, and more.

 People don't understand how one thing like "you're fat" can affect someone so much, next thing you know, you see her throwing up her food, or going to the gym everyday. That's just one example, but I can name like a gazillion others. Like I always say, we live in a fucked up world. Sometimes I want to go back to like the really old days when everyone was called beautiful no matter what size you were, or how you looked. Marilyn Monroe is known to be one of the most beautiful girls out there, and she was not a size double 0 or anything, she was a size 4 to 6. If society today wasn't so harsh, maybe we'd all accept our true beauty, and I have to admit, this is something I need to work on.

FREE: Bullying

I just don't understand this. I don't understand what goes on in people's minds when they talk down on other people. When they call them fat, ugly, skinny, flat, dumb, and way more. Especially to a girl like me, ONE WORD, like ugly, can make a girl's self esteem go down totally. Even though, you may be "joking around" you don't understand the pain that is going inside her mind. She thinks about it constantly, she will never forget it. Call her pretty, she'll be happy temporarily, but call her ugly, she will never forget it. Girls are really sensitive, and so are boys. So please watch what you say.

 Also, physically bullying people is just as dumb. Why risk you getting in trouble just to see someone you pick on be miserable. You could get expelled, suspended, detention. What good does it do for people? Nothing. Nothing good has happened in doing that for you.

And most of all, cyber-bullying. I truly hate this. I hate what people do these days. People go and kill themselves because of these heartless jerks. How does that make you feel? Shitty, I hope. Why would you bring down others, just to make you feel better. And I'm pretty sure, half of them didn't even do anything wrong to you. People just do it because they think it's funny. I don't see anything funny about this. But I guess there's nothing I can do about it, we live in a fucked up world.

hi everyone, i love casandra

RE: Equality Still Matters.

I was reading Bridget's blog and this really interested me

The past should be accepted, and there is no way to change the past to make things better right now. Best way is to move on and start making the world a better and safer place for everybody and not just for the wealthy. I believe that every citizen should be treated equally unless they don't deserve to

I really agree with this line right here. I think that equality is VERY important. After the 9/11 incident, everyone assumes that people with these head coverings are terrorists, and are going to like "bomb the school." I witnessed someone actually saying that to someone with a head covering at school. What a heartless jerk. The people who have actually done something wrong is different, but these innocent people are getting picked on for something they didn't do. They're just like everyone else. We're all human, we all have a brain, a heart, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, arms, legs. We're all the same.

None of us should be treated down on. I personally hate it when people think I'm smart because I'm Asian. White people hate it when people assume that they're snobby, rich, and stuck-up. African  Americans hate it when people think they're only from the ghetto, and have no future ahead of them. And Iranian, Afghanistan, and more hate it when people only think they're terrorists. We all need to just take off these labels, and understand that we are all the same, and need to accept that. Fuck labels.

CE: 10th year.

              I’ve been hearing about this day coming up. This tragic day that happened 10 years ago. Many lives were lost, tears, pain, injuries, everything. This has changed the United States so much. I may not know a lot about this day, but this day interests me a lot. This happened when I was in first grade. I honestly didn’t even know about it until a few years ago. And when someone told me, it didn’t affect me as much as it did until now. Watching all these videos; people crying, people jumping off the buildings, watching the airplane hit the building, all that. It really hit me. Like woah, this is such a big event, and I never took it seriously until this year. I don’t know what I would do if I lost a loved one because of that. So much grief would just build inside me. I don’t know how these little kids who lost their moms, dads can deal with it. I would just breakdown every year. I just wish I could like give them a hug or something.

            This upcoming Sunday, the 10 year anniversary of September 11, 2011, when these two faceless terrorists decided to hit the World Trade Center in New York City with two airplanes, I hope everyone will actually take this day seriously, and respect everyone who was a victim from it. I hope something like this won’t happen ever again. It affected a lot of people emotionally and physically. 

FREE: Power off. Procrastination.

               So I come home today after school, and all the power in my house is off. OFF. EVERYTHING. That meant I couldn’t go on the computer for homework, facebook, tumblr, and yeah. From four to nine. So I’m here on my laptop watching these 9/11 Youtube videos with 15% of my battery left on my laptop, (I was going to write about that for my current events post) in the dark, with flashlights around me. And then my mom and little siblings get interested in what I’m watching. I found it kind of cute. We all watched it together; sad and tearing up, well at least I was. Being in the dark also made it more depressing.

Now it’s almost midnight, and I’m here procrastinating on my homework. I’m so stressed out. This whole week, I have slept around midnight. I can’t wait until this weekend. I just wished the power hadn’t gone out on a weekday. Well, it was sort of fun, playing with my little siblings in the dark, with flashlights. (:< I like scaring them. I’m too evil. Yes, today was not the best day. But these bad days are inevitable. They will always come. Today’s just one of those days! But I am all pooped out. I’m going to be so tired tomorrow. I don’t know how other kids can go to sleep so late and deal with it the next day. TOMORROW’S FRIDAY THOUGH! Can’t wait to sleep in. 

BC: A Little About Me..

My name is Dziu. It's a Vietnamese name actually spelled "Diu" meaning peacefulness, mildness, calmness. But knowing me, that's nothing like me. Well it can be, I guess. People usually call me by the name of Vicky, but some people like to get all fancy, and call me Victoria. Whatever’s fine with me. I’ve lived in Alameda most of my life, but moved houses in Alameda many times. Right now, I am currently attending Alameda High School. Not my most favorite place to be, but what can I say? It’s school.

 I like to play guitar. I’ve been playing for four years, since the 6^th grade. I’m not the most athletic girl, but I love being outdoors, and just taking walks. I’m not sporty, but the fact of being outdoors and feeling the nice breeze and quiet atmosphere (at times) is very relaxing. I’ve never joined a sport but I’m interested in volleyball. I’ve stayed in California my whole life, but when I grow up, I wanted to travel the whole world. Meeting new people, exploring the unique places everywhere is one of my main goals when I get older. Education isn’t my thing, but I like to take challenging classes hoping to get in a good college. I’m very indecisive and can’t seem to plan ahead of my future. I’m just hoping for the best. Being the 3^rd oldest of seven siblings made me a very responsible person. I’m a neat freak, unfortunately. But I guess there are good things about being one. I’m actually really shy, when you first meet me. Once we start talking to more, that’s a whole different story. I talk a lot. Like a lot. But I guess some people enjoy my non-stop talking. J Oh, and I get scared easily too, so don’t try to scare me.

Now, let’s talk about my education skills. Let’s see, I hate math. I hate history, I HATE science, P.E is eh, its okay. I don’t like Spanish, because my memory sucks. And English is okay. I’d say that would be my easiest subject. I don’t know, something about writing comes no naturally to me. (sometimes) And grammar, spelling, all that jazz has always been easy to me since forever. I’m not a 4.0 student, sadly. I’m an average student with passing grades at least. One thing I hate about being Asian is that people always think I’m smart and that it’s okay to copy off my homework. No, I’m not smart, and most likely, my homework answers aren’t even right. At least I try. That’s pretty much my education information, exciting huh?!?!

Okay, now to talk about my main goals for this sophomore year. My main goal is to try to open up more, and make new friends. Last year, I was in my little shell and never came out. It sucked. I’m a shy girl. This year, I’m trying to be different. Another thing is to work harder. I slacked off a lot last year. My grades weren’t so good as they usually are. I don’t know what happened. I just didn’t take my freshman year seriously. But now that it’s a new year, I’m going to try to change that. Well this is an introduction of myself. I’m really looking forward to this new school year. (sorta) J
