I am soooo TIRED of homework...
Especially history and history and history.
I miss doing normal homework.
And only worrying about normal homework.
Yesterday, at the invitational, I noticed that certain parts of Mr. Friedlander's room had changed. Meaning we have new groups now. I have never heard of these two people who are now going to sit near me. It sounds scary. It's "the point" of the whole group thing, but I think it's stupid.
Also, yesterday, some girl wanted to be William's mom (I don't remember or want to know why), so I was like, "So you're a dog?" because William is the "family dog"... Michael dubbed our family even more disfunctional than his. He doesn't know how many daughters he has, though, and refused a girls when they asked if they could be his daughters. It was really weird.
Yes, I'm procrastinating.
I think my MVC is done with his history project or almost near done.
I feel so isolated today, especially compared to my interesting Saturday.
Computer models have long predicted that warming of the oceans and "freshening" of the seas with water from melting glaciers and increased precipitation -- all linked to warming of the Earth by greenhouse gasses -- could slow down the currents. But scientists did not expect to see such changes so soon and I don't care.
Well yeah I do...
But I don't want to write a current event on it.
The whole subject is so awkward. "People realizing they destroyed the planet but are only complaining about it because then they'll make more money..."
Terrence Joyce neds to be blown up. "But he remains unconvinced that the new changes are caused by global warming. 'I think the case still remains open,' he said."
Huh. "...the North Atlantic has less salinity than in past decades."
Yeah, I'm reading this and typing as I go along. I'm that bored.
"In June, ..."
So the whole thing described how the currents are slowing down but it's too early to tell for sure.
Great. I have to put that in a page of writing.
Wonderful.

surprises
Yesterday, I was calling Alice, and found out that my 8th grade U.S. History teacher started smoking again. She is quite corpulent and I could've sworn she said she quit... Just a random comment, you know?
She had these weird binder checks that Maia was never ready for because they would always use the last minutes to scavenge for all the papers. Now, every time a teacher says "binder", Maia flinches.
For me, every time I see anything to do with the War of 1812 or earlier in U.S. History, I am traumatized...
And I can possibly take Apush in junior year... The HORROR...

Chiles High School Invitational
It was today. I volunteered for approximately 8 hours. It was insane.
I had to proctor the Algebra I people for the first session. They were quite loud... Diana was in the next room (my English teacher's room) and Shuyao was proctoring on the other side (which was my Spanish teacher's room) and I was in the middle, in some random Dual Enrollment English class that looked like AP Lit.
For the second session, no one wanted to go in my room until the last minute, when FINALLY, the main group of Deerlake geometry people came. Marshall was like, "It's my cousin." and they came in. In no time, I had as many people as tests- 25. Unfortunately for me, there was door between Diana's room and my room, and their pencil sharpener had problems (Diana later told me to tell my English teacher to get a new pencil sharpener...) and so random people came into my room to sharpen pencils. Then, more random people came in. I had to make sure I had 25 people quite a few times. Plus, they kept walking around... Yige, Lisa, Catherine, Vickie, Joseph, and some other Chinese girl were all in my room. It was awwwwwesome. They were really good (angelic, compared to my first session...). Someone asked for scratch paper, and I was like, "only if you desperately need it" and they all desperately needed paper. Before, our MAO president had told us not to give out paper because it was expensive. I said, "the papers aren't double-sided and you could rip off the cover..." so Marshall said, "what if I like the cover?". More people wanted paper, so I took it out of my box. To my astonishment, I had around 50 pieces of paper. Handing out paper was interesting. Random people wanted more than one, and then this Lincoln kid couldn't decide whether he wanted 2 or 3, and this kid with a Wisconsin sweater said he didn't want one but I forced one of him since Wisconsin is awesome. It even had Bucky on it. Then, I had ONE PAPER LEFT so I held it up and said, "I have one more paper left...", turned around to walk back, and suddenly, almost half the room raised their hands for the paper. I had no idea who to give it to, so Marshall said "I'm your cousin!" so I gave it to him. Then, this Deerlake kid thought that was unfair. LOL! The rule-reading was weird because they said stuff like, you can only have your calculator, answer sheet, packet, and a pencil on your desk, but calculators are NOT allowed except for Stats... Both sessions were sooo boring... For the second one, I stared at everyone more because the room was so full. PARtially through the test, Yige dropped one of his scratch papers, and I had to go pick it up so he wouldn't have an opportunity to cheat. Then, this Deerlake kid diagonally to the right of him(same one who thought it was unfair that I gave the last paper to my cousin even though everyone already had at least one) dropped his test packet about 20 minutes later. He picked it up too quickly for me to walk over there, though. Throughout the hour, random Deerlake Chinese kids would look up at the time. That was interesting. And then, random people who look at me like they expected me to turn into a rabbit for them or something. After everyone was done, Marshall obtained the maximum possible number of pencils. I let him take the one that belonged to the school that was in the box, and poor Diana was like, "It's the schools!!!". But Chiles is so rich... Then, we had free lunch because of our awesome haleconia-colored t-shirts. I stole Diana's sweater and William and I ran around for a while (William ended up walking) until we hid behind the brick poles and Diana came to get it back, which made her say she that wasn't talking to us on Monday even though she is. After Diana and almost everyone else who we'd seen left, William and I hung out for a while in Mr. Friedlander and Mr. Goldstein's rooms. William finally sent Jack the picture of all the food. He pretended to be the food god. It was interesting. Then, off to the awards ceremony... We kind of stood in this small-ish group of Chiles people, but when the PPT presentation started, I went and sat in front of Marshall, who was on the left of Yige, who was on the left of Joseph. Joseph was funny. To get my attention, he said, "Hey, Marshall's cousin!". Yige surprisingly knew my name very well. That was kind of scary. Marshall didn't call me anything. If he wanted to say something to me, he either looked at me, or, since most of the time I was facing the other way, he would lean over and I basically had to realize that he was talking to me because his voice got closer. PARtially though the PPT presentation, the music abruptly stopped, and after that, it was chaos. The results wouldn't come because they were having technical problems, so all this weird stuff happened. Some guy opened Notepad and wrote messages (with really bad typing) to everyone while there was a small Rubik's Cube-off (during which Joseph and Yige tried to get Marshall to go up...) and the FU people spoke about their Nu Alpha Theta and their ugly blue and orange shirts. Ann and Lila did the worm before that. Michael and William spent much of the awards ceremony playing Tic-Tac-Toe with a DS Lite. My cousin was the only Deerlake person who placed in Geometry, with something like 12th place. When they got to Alpha Open, more people were missing and so they all "volunteered" to go up for people. No one did, but after most of the commotion, Marshall said, "I wanna be a girl." I fearfully turned around to him and Yige was chuckling.
The trophies were odd. As soon as I looked up at the tables, I expected to see shiny, beautiful gold-colored things. Instead, they were tiny, 5-inch tall pieces of hard substance with a circular part that could spin. Many Chinese guys were amused by the thing that spun after they received it. It was insane. A lot of CHS officers were mad because our sponsor had ordered them, and never told them about it. Those things were tiny. The sweepstakes awards were little rectangular pieces of ugly glass. The team trophies were hideous...
Vestavia Hills dominated the competition, obviously. All these preppy-looking people did amazingly.
What a long day... So many little things happened. I guess it was kind of fun, but not as good as I wished. A lot of people left right after lunch with the free food, and Jack, Par, and much to the dismay of a few Deerlake Asians, David, didn't go because they had already planned to procrastinate with the history fair by using the last weekend (it's due next Tuesday) to complete it. William procrastinated even more. He purposefully stayed for the awards ceremony so that he wouldn't have to work on it for a longer amount of time. I guess I was the only non-officer, non-sponsor, non-allumnae (I don't remember how many L's it has...) who didn't have copious amounts of homework, tennis, or dates. HAH- dates... That brings me to my VP... He actually asked me "how did our school do"... The older students WROTE THE TESTS... Wow...
I think that's enough for now.
I've successfully procrastinated with my history homework that I should've finished today.) (one-eyed smiley)

That Could Be a Theorem
I guess you could say that -g=infinity.
That's how large it is.
As my little brother would say, "that could be a theorem".
We have to search for vocab words for our book for English, but the thing is, she often gives us the word list AFTER we finish reading the chapter. It's so annoying. We had a quiz on Chapter 9-10 today and we just got the Ch. 6-11 vocabulary words. It annoys me so much, since learning the words isn't really searching for them. It's so tedious and stupid. And I can't find "crestfallen". Why in the world is "crestfallen" one of our vocab words? It's so easy... So is "glowered" and "rebuke" and "clamor" and "mutinously" and "impervious" and "corpulent" and "sauntered" and "luminous" and "myopia" and "sniveling" and "quavered" and "parried" and "talisman". They seriously need to be taken OFF the list. There's one word I didn't know on the entire worksheet and that's "leviathan" because I wouldn't know. It's a giant sea creature in the Bible. Not the Gator-fil-A bible, either.

Time To Say Goodbye
The first time I ever heard it was on TV and Andrea Bocelli singing it... My mom said it was really famous and I loved it. Then, David's mom gave me these Richard Clayderman CDs that have him playing the piano with a quiet orchestra in the background because he plays transcripted songs and stuff... I guess. And it was there...

A Guide to the Constant "g"
"g" is a constant and the value for the number of girls who are obsessed with my VP. (My VP is a guy, if you didn't notice. A Korean guy...)
"g" is a constant because the number is so large that it cannot get larger, so it is always the same.
It IS getting larger, though.
When one has a horizontal or vertical asymptote in a graph, the line will CROSS the asymptotes at "g".
That is how large it is.
Another way to look at it is this: Diana's height is "1/g".
g>a sideways 8
I'm scared... Because me and this other kid at our school are his "younger siblings". There is this sophomore who now wishes he were an Asian guy because then he'd "get all the girls". LOL!

It's almost the 100th Day of School!
I remember 1st grade when I first heard of the 100th Day of School. Someone who I still remember made a "100" with a hundred Legos. I don't think it was exactly 100 Legos, though. I think it was more. I brought more than 100 beads because I had a ziploc bag with different plastic beads. I stil have them.
Later in 1st grade, we used large pieces of paper so someone could trace us. Then, we used a measuring tape to find out how long, tall, we were. I stretched the end of the "tape" to the longer foot, so the number came innacurately to 52 inches, which is 4'4". Then, this guy got really mad because he knew he was minimally taller than me but I had a larger number since the teacher wrote all our heights (in inches) on the board.
I have too many stories of my childhood to write in one post.
Another time in 1st grade, we had "show-and-tell" and one day, I finally brought something. It was either my Winnie-the-Pooh book or my jade necklace. I don't know why I can't remember. Anyways, the whole class was like, "Kejing! What is it??" because I wouldn't say what I brought, so after what seemed like 10 minutes, this short little guy offered me a marker if I told them what it was. I got an orange marker from him. I think we still have that marker... If we do, I know for a fact that it still works. All these years, I've randomly seen it throughout the house and it has worked perfectly. It obviously wasn't a Crayola marker. Possibly Roseart, but maybe not.

wow my right arm feels normal
Today, I thought we weren't going to go play tennis, but then, my VP called me saying that Diana wouldn't answer her cell phone so I called her a few hundred times. She wouldn't answer, so I told my VP that sorry- I couldn't get through to her. Then, I called her again and she PICKED UP THE PHONE! but she was too busy with the history fair... And THEN, she called our VP to say that she couldn't go, but then the VP called me to ask, are YOU at least going? So I asked my parents and then I called him back saying I was going but we weren't leaving right away and then he said "as long as you're going", which was interesting... Later, the MVC of 2006 didn't want to be called a grandmother by the VP so he decided that he was a grandfather. The VP asked me, who is the grandmother? And I said, "I wouldn't know!". The MVC of 2006 said, "There doesn't need to be a grandmother." Yeah. It was scary. The VP gave me a few tips, so PARtially thanks to him, my arm isn't tight from playing. Yay! :) I actually hit the ball more today. I was so proud. I want to get a lot better, but the next Saturday late afternoon I'm free is 2/3/07 and the next time Diana's also free is 2/17/07.
I still haven't done the oral assessment for history... I'm probably going to do more later assignments and then submit them after the oral assessment since you aren't allowed to submit assignments out of order.
I memorized my Poetry Out Loud poem, but it's a bit dodgy since I don't know it perfectly. I should practice more. I should be ready in time for Monday, though! I'm terrible at public speaking.

procrastinating
I'm so behind on all this homework that I haven't started yet... It feels so overwhelming... I have to call my teacher for an assignment. This sucks. Oh well... It'll be over after April... Why am I even blogging right now? I'm too bored. This is such a boring post. Sorry. Well, I did upload two whole pictures today. I thought they were pretty weird. Especially the one in which I got 100%'s on my assignments. Okay, time for more history. At least it's multiple choice questions this time. It's my favorite. The next one is the oral assessment... Ugh.
