The Last Day Of School;

Part of wardrobe.
(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;

After swimming for four hours.

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~

EDIT:

Updated Grades:
History - B
Graphics - B
English - B
Geometry - C
Band - A

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~

Quick Updates & Overview Of Summer;



Hey guys, sorry for the lack of logging in and updating. Finals are this week and I've been cramming. Good news though! Summer is just 6 days away. Then we can all just kick back and relax, and enjoy the sun and pool. 8)
NOT FOR ME. D:<
Lucky me, I have summer school. The plus side of this is that I have P.E. and I get to lose weight all over again! This means I'll be sexy again, like I was last summer. :) I'm just hoping JCHS P.E. is just as rigorous as it was at Kapolei. That school's P.E. teacher is downright hardcore.
Here's the layout:
6/12 (Thursday) - First day of summer school.
7/10 (Thursday) - Last day of summer school.
Starts at 7:50, ends at 2:20pm.
Yeah, Kapolei summer school was much more strict. Oh well.

Maple Withdrawal.

Cakelicist Puff Daddy says that in all of his years tranferring from one MapleStory to another, he has never seen such obsession in all of his life.
"Rawr rawrr rawrrrrr," he says, "Rawr rawrr rawrrrrr ra-rawr rawr-ra-ra-rawrrr."

Other MapleStory bosses agree.
"AAAAAAAHHHH~!" says Alishar, Ludibrium PQ Boss. "AH AHHHHH AHHHHHHHHH~!" However, he doesn't get paid too many visits since Monster Carnival emerged.

~

I have no clue what that previous passage was about. Hehe. I'm sitting in Sue's class all boredlike... it's not even funny. Egh. I'm listening to Jay make fat jokes about Kevan. It's like he has a never-ending list of comebacks for Kevan, when Kevan has nothing. Man, I want to get on MapleStory so badly...

Social and Academic Stance: All-State and Grades

Waiting.

Hey guys, been falling behind on updating (not like you'd really care, I'm the only one that reads these blogs haha.) but there's not too much to talk about.

I checked HASMB's site for updates, and they uploaded the formation numbers for all the people that showed up at the first rehearsal. It's broken into sections within sections, first by instruments, then by islands. So I checked for flutes on my island, and lo and behold, Lina ranked 6th out of 17 flutes on the island! Hooray! :) Next rehearsals coming up in about five or four weeks, and my flute trill is STILL busted. Remember kids, procrastination is not the way to go. Need to get that fixed soon.

I'm sitting in Sue's class right now, waiting for my animations to be done rendering (although that won't be finished for another hour). It's absolutely rediculous! One hour for ONE SECOND to render. Outrageous.

I'm back on Gaia, by the way. I haven't been on in a while, but I'm back on. Jana, without giving me warning, ended up sending me the oculus mythica, and I'm now inspired to create an L look-alike since they have his eyes on there. Just lovely.



GRADES
World History - B
Graphics Communications - B
Argumentation and Debate - B
Geometry - D
Directed Studies of Music II (Band) - A
Absolutely no surprise here. Hehe. Where the hell did all my A's go? Need to work on that.

The Link Between ABD & Math Class

Scientific research on the link between a severe disorder called ABD and all math classes in general have been conducted for many years by a professor in Ewa Beach, Hawaii. She concludes that the reason WHY the two are linked are more than obvious. Here is her synopsis:

The illness Acute Boredom Disorder, or ABD, is the disorder in which an individual suffers from a severe case of boredom. ABD is most commonly found in people ranging from the ages 8 to 19. The worst cases have been found in teens, especially 10th graders. More specifically, all have shown the worst cases of ABD in their math classes.

Research shows that students find any form of math unattractive, and become subject to sleeping in class and playing with their pencils rather than doing their mathwork. "All those numbers and rules and stuff," says one 10th grader in James Campbell High School (name will remain anonymous) "Are just so overwhelming. I can't help but fall asleep."

This anonymous student isn't the only one who agree. A recent poll shows that majority of the public school sophomores agree with the claim. The problem remains the same: how to get students more involved in their math class. Some therapists suggest involving your students in the lesson, or presenting the unit in a way that the children can connect. But still students show minor response.

ABD is not terminal, but it is very contagious. Contact with a student that has ABD-A (the worst case of ABD, level one) can cause serious side effects like side track, procrastination, and bad study habits. Most parents are unaware of their children being stricken by this illness, because the disease is rarely ever demonstrated at home.

"Hell if I knew my kid had ABD," says one parent. "She's never bored on Maple, so I've never noticed it. I HAVE noticed that she has no life, but that's beside the topic. Never have I seen my child bored. Never."

So as common and widespread as this virus is, there still is no cure and no solution. The world will just have to live with Acute Boredom Disorder until some solution is found.


Took me a week to come up with this bullshit, hahaha. Started it in Huycks, completed it in Sueokas a week later.
