hey everyone! i seriously have no idea why i am doing this. its been over 10 months since my last post. the only thing i use xanga for nowadays is to check my subscriptions to see what kind of inspirational message my cousin amy thieu writes up. its great actually lol. anyways... heres wuts been going on the last 10 months.

december

oh wow this was so long ago... so i think i made district orchestra in december. it was probably the begining of the month. thia year ive already learned my entire piece over the summer so im set. near the end of december i got my license so i could finally drive places but i didnt have a car. for my christmas/birthday present my neighbors/friends got me a silver ipod nano. i listen to it constantly now

january

im pretty sure this was a busy month. i remember going to district orchestra festival down in lancaster somewhere. it wasnt as fun as the previous year. but i also turned 17 on the first of the month. i stopped taking violin lessons because school work became too much for me. i also stopped working at AMC

february

i think this was starting to become a busy month. there were a lot of pit rehearsals and i had a lot of school work to do. plus with molly's strict asian parents, it became so hard for us to see each other so we ended our relationship (ahah sounds like facebook). we're still very good friends tho. i also remember on that date i passed the BCL exemption test.

march

ooh so yeah definately A LOT of pit practices here. we got a grey cat and my parents decided to name him hayhay. like seriously... what kind of cat is named hayhay. its such a stupid name. but i also started to attend west shore evangelical free church since my chinese church is way too small and does not have a youth group. oh i also took my SAT's for the first time an got 1380. im kinda hoping for at least a 1400 when i take them again oct. 6. oh and there was key club convention in pittsburgh! that was a lot of fun

april

our musical, the music man was in the beginning of this month. other than that i really remember nothing from april... i guess sol's birthday is april 15. haley's is april 14. and shannon's is april 20. oh nine other guys and i started CCTT, cumberland county table tennis and so we play ping pong every tuesday night at aldersgate church.

may

oh what a busy month... i had to take 4 AP tests. we did a lot of preparation in chem and calc and virtually none in english and us history. so it was pretty good when i got 5, 4, 3, 3, respectivly. i also took the SAT II, got 800 on chem and 750 on math II so that was pretty good. i think i also started looking at some schools too. gosh my memory is pretty bad. everything is such a blur

june

badmittion tournament was the second to last day of school. it was pretty fun... anuj and i wore yellow nike shirts with black shorts and socks and a headband. we got to the final 8 out of 200+ teams but then had a meltdown and lost. the day right after we got out from school my family and i went to daytona beach and orlando florida for a 10 day vacation. we we got home i started working on college stuff, SATs, and essays. i got to improve my game of ping pong too. and i played a lot of tennis against albert (lost all the time). i also started to work at AMC again, although not very much. katrina had a party the end of the month.

july

what a fun month. i dont really remember everything i did but i remember going over to molly's house for breakfast. then i got to chill with her and her little brother. i also made an effort not to procrastinate and finished my gov/econ summer work by july 31. it was a great accomplishment lol. oh and i need a major summer project, so i transcripted toxic for string quartet. we still have to play it tho.

august

this was probably the funnest of all the months. i didnt not work at AMC at all this month. the beginning of the month there was a big family reunion in toronto to celebrate my grandma's 80th birthday. we spent a few days in toronto, then headed up to collinwood for a camp. there were nice waterfalls and watergun fights and the whole trip was a blast. i also visited cornell on the way up to canada and penn state on the way back. then a week after i got home i convinced my parents to let me drive down to maryland by myself to visit my friends and attend youth group there. (you have to understand... i had never been to a sleepover before. or drive further than hershey) so this was a huge hugeeee accomplishment for me in persuading my parents. near the end of the month i had a big push to do my college essay. i finally finished it this week although i still have more to write. i visited drexel two days before schol started. i dont think i will ever be going there. school started on a wednesday, august 29 i believe. oh i also got my hair cut short. very short.

september

ah this month has been great. i expected senior year to be the same level of work, since i am still taking 5 AP/honors classes, but so far its been much muchhh easier than all three years of my high school so far. maybe its just because im enjoying the classes im taking. i dropped latin and replaced it with a third science. so i am taking anatomy/physiology, biochem, and physics II. stats is also so much easier than calc. and gov/econ is interesting. we just went to philly last week to visit the constitutional convention center, liberty bell, independence hall, and federal reserve. on the way home from the bus i started a petition against these really stupid essays our teacher makes us write, and she is seriously considering the petition. seating auditions for hyso is also tomorrow, and iv been practicing the ziegunerwiesen like crazy to get to ready (its the song in Kung Fu Hustle when the fat lady is chasing the guy with the knife in his shoulder). iv also been studying for SATs and doing lots of college stuff. my college list is penn state schreyers, upenn, carnegie mellon, johns hopkins, uc berkeley, usc, and drexel. hopefully i will get accepted into a few of the more decent ones.

anyways i feel sorry if u read all that. i probably just wasted a good 10 minutes of your time. the main reason im posting this is for my own reference. i already get a kick out of reading some of my old entries from a few years ago, so i want something to remember for my 2007 year. anyways, if u feel like it, i guess u can leave on cutie ^_~

ahahha wow... over 2 months since iv written a thing is this! it think thats a new record! so... anyone out there reading this? it would be so cool if u are... ahah. well iv been using myspace pretty much all the time now so i rarly go on xanga anymore... but i guess i will fill everyone in on the last two months.

so yeah sharapova won! ahah that was cool... and then she won two more touraments. now the season is over so we'll have to wait till next year. oh well.

well school is a pain in the buttocks. i really hate AP English. why i did i even take it... ugh it was sooo easy at first and then suddenly BAM 4 papers/projects due in a week (or so). calc has be freaking gay to... i got a 77 on it for 1st marking period but that will count as 87 with weight. still stupid tho... i did really well in my other classes tho so my rank is still the same... 17/550ish? something like that.

umm i will be getting my lisence in about 3 weeks (finally). i swear i am a good driver. my parents still dont think so tho... however they have almost agreed to get me a car. i just dont know wut kind and when. i want an integra or civic... used of course. but anything is fine as long as it gets me from A to B.

and... i also met this girl named molly. and she is the sweetest girl ever. so we met in school and began to like each other... and after about a month we started going out. oct 8 to be exact. and it was under the rug for about a month... but then i told my parents last week and i thought they were going to explode but it actually went a lot smoother than i thought and they are totally cool with it. so that is so amazing...ahah. oh yeah and molly makes the most delicious cupcakes ever.

so yep thats about it. i probably left out a lot of stuff but i still have to study for chem and its like 11:30 so i better get back two work. later... leave one cutie ^_~
