Summer School Sneak

So I'm not supposed to be on this website, but actually supposed to be creating my online portfolio.
In fact, Blogger.com is a blocked website. Props to my proxy site ;p
But in any case, my advanced guidance class is murdering my brain cells - millions by the minute.
On the bright side, my bullshitting skills are improving, because of all these essays I have to write.
Massive bullshit skills is what's needed to sound smart in essays, I tell you.

This entire summer school Advanced Guidance class is based online, and on a website called chalkandwire.com. It's rather annoying, actually. :|

So because I finished two whole sections, I'm just sitting here... doing nothing...

Actually, I think I'll sleep. SEEYA~!

Summer Updates & Rehearsal I Information

Summer school PE started about two days ago, and it's pretty alright. Nothing special. Picture above are my legs (left) and Rachael's white legs beyond mine. All we really do is kick or toss around a ball all day. Yadda-yadda.

But PE isn't what makes me happy.
It's the marching band.

All-State rehearsal has restarted up today, and Jesus. Can we say "Band Boot Camp?" Hell, I LOVE IT! It's hell on earth! So there are twenty-something flutes, most of which have a hard time keeping the flute level. It's wonderful! Come next rehearsal, they're sticking chopsticks in the end of the flutes and if they fall out because the flute isn't leveled, then we have to do push-ups. Isn't it awesome? ;D
Also, since rehearsal lasted four hours, you can bet that we marched a couple hours straight. So guess who has a bad-ass sunburn and really achy muscles?

LINA DOES!

Anyways, updates later. Maybe next rehearsal, I'll have pictures.

First Two Days Of Break;

Have been awesome. Two days of bonding with the two (animate) things that mean the most to me: my family and friends.



So on Friday, I wake up at around 8ish, so I go down and help my mom. My father is at work, just like my sister, so it's just me and my mom. I help her with everything, and we head to an appointment which I missed due to heavy traffic, but it created good bonding time with my mom. We talked about my college plans, my current friends, and she even stood to listen to some of my music (which, miraculously she sang and knew *some* of the words!) so that was good. We head home and take care of my grandmother, and right after that, we hit the road for Borders. Note that my mother and I are reading-holics. We can stand to pick up a book, sit in the store, and just read for hours. So she bought me xxxHOLiC vol.1 (which, by the way, I'm loving!) and helped me pre-order Kaikan (Sensual) Phrase vol. 17 since I have 18 waiting to be read. So come Friday, we'll head down to Borders once more to pick up my order, along with HOLiC vol. 2 (and hopefully 3!)
That also leads into my current wanting to read Tsubasa. If I love xxxHOLiC already, I'm quite sure I'll love Tsubasa since it is a cross-over of HOLiC.



So while Friday was a great bonding day with my mother, today being Amy's birthday celebration, was an excellent friend bonding day. I think I've found myself a clique where we're actually ALL on the same page. I love Rosie and the twins, but we're all on two different levels, you know? ^__^ Rosie, The twins and I have two different kinds of humors.
So I met up with Amy, Ashleigh (Davis), Ua, Kyle, Codi, and Lily at TMC Karaoke. My voice was out of whack because I'm sort of sick, but who gives a rat's ass? We're all friends, and we're not afraid. Or at least, I'm not. Friends should just let go of silly self consciousness when we're out partying like that. :) And that's just what we did. So the first few songs were slow, then we jumped into Flyleaf (which they made me scream! D:) It was terrible at first, since my voice was warming up I suppose. After many Beatles and Journey songs, I was ready for what Amy's parents love most about me: my screamo voice. ;D
That's right bishes, Lina does SCREAMO! And I'm actually good at it, all the way through. No soar throats, just hoarseness. ;)
It was cute, actually. Amy's dad just started searching for screamo songs for me to do, and put them in for me. Before I knew, it they had me doing Flyleaf (again) and Ohio Is For Lovers. Oh, it was great. I screamed my heart out. Not to brag, but I sounded very close to the (dead) vocalist from Hawthorne Heights. And Kyle, who completely took me by surprise, assumed that I could do Drowning Pool songs and got me to scream Let The Bodies Hit The Floor with him (which he was right. I did quite well, even with the gutteral screaming. I didn't know I could do that! ^__^y :dances Chibi dance:
But that wasn't the best part of my day, really. The best part of my day was AFTER the karaoke, when Amy went to Toys n Joys and Ua&Codi went off elsewhere. The four of us left (Kyle, Ash, Lily, and myself) for PearlRidge, and we all followed Ash to Sanrio. I ended up buying a pink Hello Kitty keychain to match my phone and Ashie bought a big Hello Kitty doll in a panda suit (named Bunnita lol). After browsing hot Topic and pwning Kyle in DDR (harr, he kept pushing me off the dance platform when he'd mess up XD) we went down to the other side of the mall to Borders, then just went to Jamba Juice across from the mall. After Ash & Kyle got their Jamba, we just went to Starbucks, bought some cold drinks and snacks, sat down, and chatted for two hours. And that's what REALLY made my day. I've found that we're all on the same level of conversation and humor, and we all know what we're talking about. And what makes it better was that the person who I thought I was drifting away from because of the lack of... erm... hanging out... hehe... we realized that we're still close, and nothing has really changed. I got much closer to Ash, but what meant more to me was me discovering a side of Lily that I never knew, and that made me appreciate her more and more. She's not the annoying freshman I met in the beginning of the year, she's a sophomore at heart, like us. So yeah, I believe I've found a new great friendship with her. With a little more hang time, we could all become best friends foreverrrrr~! XD Then my mom came and dropped all of us at home, which is good. My mom can trust all of them now, and wow... they're just as respectful as I hoped they'd be. I'm so glad... I really am. <3

Kyle called about 20 minutes ago, and actually thanked me again and again for today. He said the exact same thing, and so did Lily. We're all down for more bonding. We're the perfect clique. :) I'm glad to see I have friends like them. I wish I saw it earlier.

In other news, I found an instrument repair guy who I will bring my flute to sometime during the week. Yay, finally. Then the group wants to get together right before summer school for me, when Ash leaves, and Kyle leaves. He gets his paycheck on Wednesday, so we're trying for then. Good fun, eh? :)

Goodnight everyone. <3

~Moi.

EDIT:
Note that in this blog, there are two "Lily's." The first one mentioned is Lilly with two Ls, Ruth-Lee and Angel's daughter. She's in the background of the picture, hovering over my name.
Lily with one L is my friend from school. Mmkay, just remember that. :3 Hope I didn't confuse you.

The Last Day Of School;

(I'll upload other pictures of this when I get the chance.)

Every class is 45 minutes long, and I'm just sitting in Sues doing NOTHING. Blah... I should just go to Huyck's room already, since he actually TALKS to me.
Sister pulled out a Juno look for me today, and I packed it away in my bag. Upon arrival to first period, Faye and Ash dragged me (and my bag) to the bathroom to change. So whatever I'm wearing was STYLED by them. Harr harr. Meh... so bored...
So I think I have part of my school lineup for next year.

Classes:
Graphics Tech 1&2 (one per semester)
AP Lit&Comp (one per semester)
Advisory (all year)
Alg II (all year)
Band (all year, DUH!)

I pushed Japanese II for my senior year just for graphics. Hehe. I'm a junior... ♥

The Day Before The Last Day;

This is how I spent all of yesterday with Ruth-Lee, Lily, Angel, and Rosie. In the pool. :)

So yesterday was pretty fun. We discovered the wonders of being taught to swim by three year olds and whatnot. Ko'olina is gorgeous. Next step is convincing my mother to let me stay there a week for grad. Haha, just kidding. Maybe.

So yeah, I'm sitting in Sue's class right now. I just got done making my extra credit T-shirt (which is rather cute. ^__^). I think Lerma's is adorable and creative... not like mine and Malia's. Hehehe. We should take a picture in them. I should invest in a giant heat press like that. Then I could make all the T-shirts I desire. :D MAPLE TEE! XD

Anyways, I need to head down to Mrs. Barangen's class soon... I need to get my AP Chem. summer assignments. I should just bail out on AP. It seems too studious for me. T_T Oh well, we'll just see about that next year.
Speaking of AP classes, my AP World History recommends having an accessible laptop for class. Lessons and lectures will be put in different forms, including PODCASTS. Isn't that cool? Well yeah, I'd very much like to get a new laptop, or at least borrow my fathers, but he's resisting. I think he still thinks I'm bent on getting an Apple laptop. I've come to terms with myself by telling myself Apple can't play MapleStory on it (XD) so I'll just stick with Window. ;p Plus, I know how to fix Windows computers. Much easier for me to use.

Rosie is leaving me today. T_T At 2pm, she's off to Guam for summer, which means I have no summer buddy (except Peach, but she's not really on the same wavelength as me and Rosie.) And according to Ryan and Vinh, we have a carnival date on the 22nd, which means wristbands and KABBA MODERN. Hell yes. So yeah... my summer is pretty packed with school and fun. That's good. :)

Also, Mark informed me that Kea and the rest of the band checked in & inventoried the instruments. That means the oboe is no longer in my possession. Wait, that means they raided my locker. T_T I wonder what Kea did with my flute... which I need to get fixed THIS WEEK. Ugh.. still procrastinating in calling ACB Music. Shit, I don't even know if they do those kinds of repairs. And if they don't, then I'll just have to make a trip to Makaha (further than town) to Harry's Music Store, which I have the number to (yay!). All-State rehearsal is coming around the corner, and I'm nervous. T_T Wait, who am I rooming with during the trip? Meh, Karllyn wanted to room with her Castle friends, and Kiana said she could room with me, but I'm curious as to who's getting the other two beds (if Karllyn DOES room with her Castle friends). Meh, I need to discuss with further with them. Ooohh, I can't wait~! ^__^

Wow, this has to be one of the longest entries I've made so far. Mmkay, well seeya in the next entry~

Updated Grades:
History - B
Graphics - B
English - B

That's... a little better, considering my average in math is a C. There's not much I can do at this point to improve my history or English grade. I'm set for graphics. My mom knows how hard Bryce is. Egh.

The Last Week Of School: Day I

Alright, so I'm in Sueoka's class as always, now aware that a certain friend actually reads my blogspot!
Yaaaaaay~! ^__^y

Anyways, school is winding down (except for geometry... :stare:) History we're just always watching movies related to the subject. Graphics isn't much anymore, we're just doing extra credit T-shirts (which I'm too scared to do. BIG MACHINERY + Final Destination = chicken shit.) Today is the final debate for English (Arg.&Debate) and I'm nervous, because my group was completely unprepared. Although I do know enough to support my argument, Mr. Pro (Ken) is very good at arguing the topic of video game violence, so I need to exercise my mind and keep on my toes. :)

Because EVERYONE failed the final in geometry, Huyck is letting us do a do-over, and I'm still rather nervous. I got most of the stuff down, but still. Hehe. At least I went over most of it with him. Hopefully that reflects in my final... again... -__-;;

SKIPPING SCHOOL TOMORROW.
Why? Ruth-Lee and Angel (that's a guy, btw) are leaving island on Wednesday, and I'm quite fond/close of/with them. So Ruth-Lee along with her demonic offspring Lilly (Juuust kidding) have convinced my mom to let me stay with them all Tuesday. And since my period is now done with, I get to go swimming! Yay! Ahh, I love the pool... Ko'olina is such a beautiful resort in the middle of scenic nowhere (well, maybe scenic for factory workers. Ko'olina = right next to Campbell Industrial Park & Waianae's dead mountains). I hear they also have a lagoon. O_o I asked my mom if I could spend a week there after graduation for me. She just laughed. ^^;;

Alright, going to sleep. Hahahaha~
