So I went out to get my XP fixed and I find out that it was a hard drive problem that can't be fix.  I had to get a new 160gb hard drive and that totaled $55 with the $35 labor of installing it along with getting back some data from the damaged drive.  The guy was gonna get my data back for free (if it was a few mb which turned out to be 10 gigs) so if I just left with my hard drive not installed, I could've saved $35 (not actually saying I can do it myself but it can't be that hard connecting a few wires, could it?---he took out the hard drive in like 1 minute.)  It's not even guarantied the XP can last 3 months considering all the other components are so fcken ancient.

Oh oh oh, I'm so worried for my family's finances this month.  We spent maybe $400 more than usual (and most of it is on credit which isn't used so often!) and now they plan to get a friggin' drawer?  (Although I do think we need one since our current one has crooked shelfs that separate the clothes in a zig zig pattern.)

Gosh, wasted like 5 hours today reinstalling some programs and the like.  I still have an English essay I've yet started!!!

Right, so I finished almost all my homework by 7:30 today.  Quite an amazing feat.  But 'twas ruined by the prolonged period of essay writing.  Luckily, I watched my semi-daily episode of Shining Inheritance before I started :3  Then I took a shower and commenced with the writing at around 10?  I thought I'd be finish in an hour or so; yeah right...  This shtuff is so complicated :(  I must blame my writing and thinking skills though.  My compositions are very unorganized and I sorta accuse Wasserstein for it.  We didn't touch much on writing so for a whole year, my idleness has caused me to loose confidence in essays and papers.

After I got my report card, I was pretty much ready to give up for the rest of the day.  It discouraged me further when I found out that I forgot to do Spanish homework during lunch.  Ugh...  I slept really late last night even though I could've slept earlier because I procrastinated; read manga until like 10 and then started doing the outline for European (which took forever and I was still only halfway done) and didn't bother with Spanish.  I guess I was just scared that I might loose my 98 average in Spanish... which is my highest grade and one that I'm proud of achieving.  The dread of thinking I didn't do Chemistry homework either was just excruciating but I was relieved to know that it was actually due on Monday.

Failed math with a 55, as expected.  It pissed me off to see the comment "Needs to go to after school tutoring" when I do go, although not as much as I'd like to since I'm preoccupied with clubs...  My friend had told me that if you go to your teachers for tutor, they take notice and give you extra points; BS.

I despise that fact that my mom found out about the Parent Teacher Conference.  Now I gotta go with her to translate which is a friggin' waste of my time when it's only one teacher.

Ahah, if I remember correctly; I had an entry by the same title back in 8th grade for my Stray Dog blog.  Anyhow, coincidentally, both concern my failure in math.

I'll make this short and simple and sour:
I have a math test tomorrow (and one for chemistry but it's multiple choice... which I hope would be easy to pass.)
There is a 99% I will fail the math test.  1% of passing if he was in a good mood and gave simple questions that will make your head click.

Reasons?  Cause and effect, really.
I haven't started homework yet and it's 9:10 → Will finish homework very late → Will not have time to study; studying won't do much anyhow considering how my notes look like illiterate chickens scratched up the paper in an attempt to write.

I believe I got a phone call from the school reporting my class failure.  My mom missed the call and said something about it being from NYC so she assumes its just one of Bloomberg's promotional calls.

Lucky me, wooh!... at least until Wednesday when the report cards come in.  OTL

Edit @ 10:48: I confessed that I failed math to my mom.  She sighed and was disappointed.  She spread it on to the others in the family.  My dad was teasing and probing me, making me feel bad.  My brother complained that everyone else was blaming him that I failed or something about how he needed to take my place?  My grandma was indifferent about it.  My grandpa was upset.  He thought that I won't be able to go to college 'cause I failed math.  I told him I didn't fail any math tests for college.  He became relieved and put on this whole act about how he was crying inside because he was afraid I wouldn't be able to go to college; fingers wiping his non-existent tears and all.  Is he mocking me?  Trying to comfort my sorrowful state?  Haha, he looked funny.

No it's not a penis.

It's the PSATs (credits to Molly for the joke.)
I didn't bother studying for it; just didn't have the time due to my procrastination that resulted in finishing homework at 1 yesterday.

The train was really crowded today; I was nearly suffocating. These circumstances seems to prolong this unfortunate ride.

I was almost late for PSATs although there were people who were later than me. What sucked was that we ddin't get our 5 minute break between sessions 3 and 4 cause the teacher is a noob.

I think I did fairly better in reading than math, although I had to rush through them both. I'm quite confident in my grammar skills most of the time after getting 9/10 right in that session on this practice test my teacher gave last week. My vocabulary sucks though I risked getting -1/4 due actually answering the questions anyhow.

I got a math test tomorrow. The last of the marking period. I'm pretty sure that even if I pass with a 100 (which is quite impossible), I'm going to fail the class anyway. Yet I try, I went to tutor today. I think my factoring has improved recently though all the other materials... can't say much about that; especially inequality word problems!

Currently doing English homework. It is going to take a while. I hope I at least have some time to attempt studying for math.

Wtf is a sexton?!

It's quite late, considering I'm about to start AP Euro homework... which is gonna probably take at least two more hours and I'm not even gonna bother when it hits 1:30. I haven't finished two outlines these past two days but I'll somehow try to manage on the weekend?

Honors trig is killer. However, today was probably the easiest lesson since graphing was my only forte when it comes to algebra. I thought I'd understand it but when I got to the homework, thinking we had to graph, I probably died a little inside when I found it confusing; turns out that we didn't need to graph anyway so I managed to finish the easiest homework he'll probably ever give in good time. My textbook is missing pages...pages I need for homework.

Tech really is degrading my health. I've mentioned this before on another entry but seriously, it's worse now; I wonder how I'll even manage the next two years after sophomore. I basically sleep at 1 or 2 everyday. I need to wake up earlier than I'm supposed to to meet up with a friend who gets 8 hours of sleep just 'cause she wants to get to school early. My sleep deprivation is probably effecting my studies and how I am during class. Towards the end of the day, I'm usually dosing off in the last few periods. I recently starting bringing a canister of tea everyday in an attempt to keep me awake. Sucks that I finish drinking it all by fifth or sixth period.

Today sucked ass. Reason? I lost my pen. It was a pen in which I almost finished using all the ink. I've always wanted to use up a whole pen but it's just my luck that I lose it just when I was about done with it. now I gotta start all over. Well, according to the amount I have to write for Euro daily, I think it'll be empty in no time.

Here I am ranting for the past 10 minutes or so. I should seriously finish homework so I can shower and get some rest.

To think that swim gym couldn't get worse... it does. On Thursday, we started going underwater to retrieve rings. It's no surprise I didn't even manage to get one >.> Swimming just isn't my forte and so, not realizing it was time to get out, I ended up being on of the last ones to make it to the locker. I didn't have time to put on my flip flops and was just speed walking barefoot, slipping although managing my balance a couple of times (*ahem*warning signs but I was stupid to have ignored). Right outside the girl's locker room, the water finally got me. I slipped and fell backwards and in those few seconds, I've injured my lower back, sides and some of my gluteus as well. I suffered throughout these past two days with terrible aches and pains and I started getting stomach aches as well.

The night of the incidence was probably one of the worse in my life. I had English Gods and Goddess project due the next day (having procrastinated for weeks on end) along with the usual long Global homework, Spanish project (who knew drawing monsters were so hard?!), and a few other things. I spent four hours on English and only managed to finish the analytic piece, giving up with starting the creative part. I gave up on math since I didn't get most of it and global, I had to copy... Throughout all the work, I started panicking, stressing, and all those other terrible feelings one may feel when they're in deep shit. Not only was I mentally affected, but physically as well; trying to cope with the side pain and then I started getting the damn stomach aches that are probably caused by indigestion and constipation (I had suspicions that these cases are associated with my injury...when I fell, it is likely my digestive system got all messed up). I seriously broke down that night because the stomach aches were like the worse cramps ever, without of few moments of relief. I couldn't get rid of it unless I took a crap, which I couldn't (tried like two times, sitting on the toilet for about 30 minutes each...with no results and still). In the end, my grandma just gave me some Chinese medicine that caused me to constantly burp as I went to sleep.

How my year ended: Finished two math homeworks; six more to go. Finished biology homework~I didn't need the computer at all xD So yea, I was finishing up some schoolwork. It just so happens that I've been staying up till 1:00 or 2:00 each day during my winter vacation and waking up around 11 ~ 1. Yesterday, I decided to go to sleep earlier for no apparent reason (around 11?) after I finished reading Artemis Fowl: Time Paradox (took like three months xP). I tried to go to sleep with the lights on because I was already laying on the bed and was to lazy to get up to turn it off, so I was half asleep because the lights and the sound of the fireworks kept me up partially as well.

I'm not so enthusiastic about a new year, maybe it's because its a regular day for me. I'll have to wait till February to be excited about Chinese New Year since I'll finally get money (I hope I don't waste it all or loose half of it like I did last year >.>").

My Resolutions:

• Pass Freshmen year without a lot of problems and good grades.
• I swear I thought of another one... ;_; I can't remember. GET A JOB! I am desperate for decent part time work!

Yea, not much.

Oh yea, Happy New Year!

I had to buy the newspaper for my grandpa today. When I arrived on the avenue where the deli was, there were crowds of people gathered across the street from the store. There were like five firetrucks and a dozen police cars that blocked the side where I had to go. The fire took place on two floors of the apartment on top of the store next to the deli. The fire had been put out but one can see where it burned since the window borders were blackened and all. Since I couldn't buy the newspaper there, I had to walk a few more streets to this other deli that sold the Chinese newspaper my grandpa wanted. They were sold out so I went home and my grandpa ambushed me at the door, telling me to go to this pharmacy that was another avenue and few blocks away.

I never thought buying one newspaper would require so much walking and that a lot of stores didn't sell the Sing Tao newspaper... what a crappy morning.

I need to start my math homeworks and finish the project... I'mma probably try my best to finish the other annoyances (bio homework and spanish project) today...if I don't get distracted and procrastinate again ;_;

I would just like to say: I'm dead. I know it's getting pretty old but because I just spent the last 5-6 hours finishing up this layout, I didn't start homework :[ I just hope that when I look into my agenda, there will be very little homework that needs to be done...

Please do comment on this layout :] I know it's really plain and I used original Photoshop patterns for everything xD I accept constructive criticism not flaming (that includes insults Alyssa!) >.> I don't think I should be criticized non-constructively since I did just give up all my time coding this dam thing. I wanted to make one of these one column layouts at least once! I was inspired by Miychi's new layout. I admit I did take and customized some of her ideas (such as the bottom links) so I think I need to give proper credit (even if she will never find this blog :3). Dang, Blogger layouts are so long... I had to figure out the widgets' elements and stuff in order to style them. The "Archive" looks hideous. I tried to make it look more organized by fixing the margins and padding but it just won't listen so I gave up cause it was wasting my time >.> I don't think I'm going to make another layout for a year or so...

New layout means new music as well---usually. I know the volume is not adjustable but I'll fix it another day ==" I LOVE ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION!!! :3

I was designing my new template for this blog and forgot about homework. Oh shit. Well, I think all that I need done now is coding and if that works out, you'll be seeing a lot of green @_@ It's extremely plain besides the fact I wasted like 2 hours working on the simple ugly header.
