| lets see...
i woke up, ate breakfast, pulled on some clothes and left the house. (didn't notice till i was out the door that i was wearing all black xP) I finished all of my SAT english hw in the car while mom drove to pick up one of the teachers. Then she sent me to Joanne's house so that we could leave together to get a working permit.
It's the funniest thing ever. Cuz I'm 16 and she's 15, we got diff colored cards. Mine was green and her's was blue. On the front, it has our info and authorized signature. On the back however, are the limitations on what we're allowed to do and what we're not allowed to do, ie what hours we can work, how many hours per week we can work and what occupations we're allowed to hold. Jo's was literally useless cuz she can't work between 7pm-7am, no more than 28 hours per week n also, she can't old any occupations, except for farming :lol: mine was fine. ^^
we got to sat class a bit late and and we started our vocab test right away. after that, did more stuff, laughed and joked while doing vocab review/betting and then we had math. during math, we did easy as heck sheets and then basically had a discussion bout how old who and who was, and then had a pretty good discussion going on about coffee and Starbucks.:p a pretty good day o class.
fencing got canceled cuz it turned out only me n another kid would be able to make it. So, guess the next time i have fencing is....tuesday? I hope. but i'll still be exercising n doing the stuff we do every lesson at home by myself (with the help o my brother o course. he's a good fencer himself).
I got home at about 1 and ate lunch. Afterwards, i just re-read Magic's Price by Mercedes Lackey. Now, i'm posting at RPGN again and later, gonna have to do my SAT hw, prepare tutoring materials and review for two tests tomorrow cuz i'm gonna be taking a full timed SAT practice test, in both english and math. I gotta get at least a 1400.....*hopes*

Okie dokie. Now that it's a new day, i don't have to go onto edit # 3 xP
Today I woke up, got ready and started getting the rest of my tutoring materials together. Ate breakfast then left for SAT class. English tests i did okay on. Got three outta 35 definitions/words wrong >.> but meh, what did i expect cuz i didn't study for it? good enough anyway.
but what REALLY made my day was when i got my score for the second sat prep test that i took today for math. hehehehe. i showed them. :cool: got a 790! xD top mark in the whole class and a whole 190 point jump. i coulda gotten the full 800 if only i answered this question i was debating whether or not to answer for 5 whole minutes. If i had answered it instead of omitted it, it woulda been just enough to swing me around to that 800. but i'm satisfied. mwahahahahahaha. EAT THAT!:evil:
anyway, after math, i spent an hour talking to the twins (4th graders) and keeping them occupied. Talked about what we would be doing in North Carolina and how i'd play puzzles, swim, make food for them, and stuff there. *sighs* gotta turn on the girly mode for them there. I mean i like them n all, and i don't mind babysitting them, but i dunno. i can't stay in girly mode for a WHOLE entire day.....can i? good thing is i'll also babysitting two other guys, (5th graders i think) so maybe i'll get a relieve from that and actually be myself again for a lil bit. meh. i'll see what happens.
anyway, after the twins left, i got my tutor stuff ready and then tutored the lil guy for two hours. Taught him how to read the hours and spell words. Its amazing how i can actually make up stuff for him to do for two hours on the top of my head. cuz i finished using up all my created materials in the first hour. He's pretty quick in picking up concepts, just sheer memorization is he a bit slow. Then again, he's only going to first grade. What made me really happy is that he remembered most of the stuff i had taught him last summer ^_^ yay for me! anyway, during the last twenty minutes, i saw that he was kinda tired of learning so i let him draw like i did last summer. This time, he wanted to trace.....and since i just happened to have my two drawings i was coloring in inside a folder today, i took it out and let him trace them. One was of Garnet and the other was of Aoshi. He didn't do too bad of a tracing job.
By the time i got home it was 3:20. Finally ate my lunch. I was STARVED. after eating, i read a bit and then decided to come online and post at RPGN, which is what i'm doing right now. Anyway, after a bit more posting, i'm gonna sign out and do my SAT homework. oh and actually study for my english tests. I got another english vocab test for tomorrow. twenty more words. and then i might as well start on another personal essay that's due friday.
OOOOhhh yea! i forgot to mention. i'm gonna see if i can do volunteer work at st. vincent's hospital in the city so i gotta get working papers tomorrow, as well as have fencing lessons. hehehe. tomorrow's gonna be another busy day for me. :p geeze....i'm so busy this summer....might even have to quit tutoring so that i can fit in the volunteer work hours into my schedule (if i get accepted)
i'll be back online again later on to edit this thing again as more stuff happens. ^_^
[edit]
okie... not much really happened. I studied my vocab, but i ended up not doing the homework packets yet cuz i uh.... fell asleep in my bed ^^;; guess i was just really tired. After i woke up, everyone was gone cuz they went to CSI to go swimming. So... i ate dinner by myself and replayed Empire of the Angels on Hard. It is REALLY hard... twice as hard as it was on medium. I finally got past the first level w/o losing anyone. Now i'm up to the second level. Hope i can come up with a good strategy and not lose anyone too.
Everyone got back home at around 9:45pm including my dad who went to the supermarket after getting back from work. They're eating dinner right now and after they're done, i'll do the dishes and then go to bed. Tomorrow, i'll do my packets in the morning. Shouldn't take more than a half hour. (I think...I hope)
Hopefully, when i wake up tomorrow morning, my muscles won't be sore anymore. Won't do to have to go through another intense fencing lesson with my quads already sore before starting anything. :evil:
body condition: do i have to get up? I don't wanna move.
mental condiion: I'll take on any problem you throw at me :cool:
spiritual condition: And the sun will come out, tomorrow...

Today's been a bit better than yesterday. For one, i managed to write up a personal essay that i'm rather proud about. Might even use it for my college applications if the topic fits. But, in anycase, so far, the day's been good. SAT english class was pretty much a review for me cuz i remembered doing it all during the school year. So i basically just relaxed for an hour n a half while i watched the other ppl struggle to learn the tricks and stuff. SAT math, well, we did the usual. Practice, practice practice. Boring stuff. But, we had fun too. We cracked jokes in both english and math class. English, we were doing latin prefixes, sorta like a pop quiz kinda review and when she asked what ante (an-tee) meant, we told her. Then she said unkie (un-kee) and we just sat there, blank looks on our faces, some of us even worried. Then she started laughing and so did we cuz it was rediculous. Who ever heard of a prefix unkie? and 'sides, auntie, uncie? xP in math, we were doing problems when my friend ellen, just said outloud outta no where, "Sharkbait ooo ahh ahh" xP all of us laughed and it broke the quietness of the class. There were more funny stuff but i'm too lazy to tell them all:p
after sat classes, which is 3 hours long, i had a one hour break to eat my lunch. Course, i couldn't eat too much cuz i'll be having my fencing lesson at 1. so, i ate a bit then waited the rest of the hour out. When coach arrived, we did warm up n stretches before getting into the lesson. for a whole hour, we kept moving non stop and by the time the hour was up, my leg muscles were on the point of collapsing. I mean, think about holding a horse-stance for an hour....that's almost what we were doing. That and doing guns and flamingo's. Guns being you go down on one leg and get back up with only one leg, feet completely on the floor. like a squat with one leg only and the other one extended out. Its hard, lemme tell you that. Flamingo is where you hold your fencing position and with the leading leg, you bring it up, kick/extend till your leg's at a 90 degree angle from your body then curl it back, leg still raised and then kick out, then bring back in, etc. its hard. specially cuz your back leg is still semi bent over your feet.
After fencing, i went home and took a nice long shower. Muscles felt better afterwads, but its still sore. Chugged down a nice cool cup of orange juice and got another one to put next to my laptop. Turned it on and went to rpgn where i'm posting up my journal while taking occasional sips from my cup. ^_^ hopefully, the day will stay good. but as for tomorrow....i dunno. two english tests and another whole full section of math sat test timed and stuff...... i'm worried bout math. if i get another 600.......... well, that doesn't need to be said.
[edit]
Well, so far so good. Its 9pm at the moment and I finished making myself a new avy and sig. Yep, i went into uber kawaii mode for some reason. :p Afterwards, i went to the beach with my mom, brother, and cousin. My cousin n bro took turns driving at the beach cuz they're learning how to drive. While one wasn't driving, they would be playing frisbee with me on the sand. ^_^ it was fun. We played till it was around 7:30. Got home, drank juice, ate a peach and went out again with my brother to go buy a new mouse. a really cool optical mouse. Old one was making me REALLY irritated. No smooth movement, laggy, and out of every 100 clicks, perhaps around 4 would actually click. Drove me nuts when photoshopping stuff and drove my brother nuts on CS cuz he kept dying. now, i'm just waiting for dinner. After dinner, gonna go straight to bed. Cuz i'm not taking any chances for anything to ruin my almost perfect day!:evil:
I guess i'll just wake up at 6 to finish prepping my tutoring materials cuz i gotta tutor for two hours tomorrow. Not too bad pay....20 dollars for two hours.... would've been 30 if it weren't for me having to pay rent for borrowing a classroom >.> *Shrugs* that's life. heheheh, can't wait till thursday....another fencing lesson! :p
[edit 2]
ugh. i was wrong. even during dinner things can go wrong....*sigh* anyway, i think i managed to cut tutoring to mon, wedns, fri's n get two lessons o fencing a week in....but it depends on what the kid's dad says.... *sigh* and about my family going to North Carolina... seems like dad's dropping out....AGAIN! oi....i thought we had settled i that dad was gonna come with us....i mean, its only three days....*sigh* but no. today, comes home and says, i'm not going. WHY?! WHY?! why must this happen......so hopefully he'll change his mind....-.- i think i'm gonna go to bed soon. maybe when my dad gets back from the supermarket......
oh yea....update:
body condition: sore and weak as hell. muscles tired...
mental condiion: you give me anymore math to do....and I'll kill you.
spiritual condition: not too shabby. |
So don't expect to see me here 
hehehe, now THAT was the funniest ever. We tried to recreate it but had added a chunk of wasabi inside the napkin so that when he wiped again, he'd REALLY smear something, but it didn't work
