Schedule Mix-up

Today was my first full day of school. For seventh and eighth graders, we have to keep track whether we have second or first snack, and whether we have first or second lunch. Today, I got that mixed up.

My teacher, said that if we have Mrs. Everts or Mr. Gifford next, you will have second snack. If you have someone else next, you will have first snack. Since I had orchestra next with Ms. Custodia next, I figured I'd have first snack. However, it turns out that I, and a lot of other people (thank goodness), came to class late because we were supposed to have second snack. My teacher said it was normal and she straightened out when we have first and second snack.

After PE, my teacher said we had first lunch. I went to lunch first and was late to class again. This time, it was only me and one other person (it was an awkward moment).

Now I get the idea that I have second snack and second lunch. But when our schedule starts to rotate next week, I have no idea when I have snack and lunch. I plan to call the seventh grade SSRA to straighten that out. :)

( I'm not very good at explaining things, so if you didn't understand what I just said, I basically just went to snack and lunch at the wrong time and was late to class.)

First Day of School

Today, as you can tell by the title, was my first day school. My mom and I walked to school since it's so close. As I was walking in, I met up with one of my friends. When I found out we had homeroom together, I began to feel more confident. But then we saw a sign saying that all seventh graders must report to the Multi-purpose room to pick up a new schedule. My new schedule was the exact same as my old one. Unfortunately, my friend's homeroom was switched.

When I actually walked into my first class, I saw that I had a whole lot of other friends in the class. I even have a couple of friends that have all their classes with me.

I'm not exactly looking forward to another year of school, but I can't get away, so I might as well try to make the most of it. :)

A Walk to Remember

WARNING! May spoil the movie "A Walk to Remember" if you haven't watched it yet ! And if you haven't watched it yet, you really SHOULD.


Today in my Sunday School class we watched "A Walk to Remember". Aside from all the cuss words and the fact that it was predictable that Jamie would die, I really enjoyed it. But the way she died really surprised me.

Everyone thought it was sweet how Landon named a star after Jamie and helped her complete her life wishes to show his love for her. But I thought it was especially sweet how he married her just to complete her list of wishes even when he knew she would pass away soon. I don't know if anyone in real life could really love a person that much at that age. But then again, I've never really experienced love aside from my family love. (I really wanted to cry during the movie, but people kept interrupting the movie during the dramatic parts >__< )

Summer is Ending

Summer is coming to an end and I am one of those people who never wants to go to school again after Summer vacation. It surprises me how some people actually love school and WANT to go back. Most of my friends want to go back because they have nothing to do. For me, I find that there's so much to do in such little time. And... I still need to finish my homework that's due at the end of summer. >__<

At least I did a lot of memorable things this Summer. I won an illustrating contest along with 25 other people out of more than 500 entries and got to see an Angel's game for free and stand on the field. I went to the Getty museum for the first time with my family. I went bowling with my friends. I went to "Cue!" for the first time (in my previous post) I went swimming many times in my pool. I went to Huntington beach with my church group. I was able to train my pet bunny to come when I call her name. I visited my brother's office at Google in Santa Monica. And I overall had a fantastic time. But I figure it is time I go to school and get some discipline as opposed to all the free time, no homework days I had. :(

My First Post

I'm really excited for my first post! I've never had a blog before that is my very own.
With my new blog, I intend to improve on my writing and be able to tell others about my life.

One of the most exciting highlights of my week was going to " Cue!" in Rowland Heights with my friends. For those who don't know what "Cue!" is, it's a Japanese store with booths to take fun pictures on the props provided. Once you're finished taking pictures, there's a machine that lets you add backgrounds, pictures, and writing. Then your pictures are printed out onto sticker sheets.

Because it was our first time, be walked in not having the slightest idea of how to start. We decided to start off by finding a good booth. We inserted the money and caught on how to work the machine. My friends and I had the most fun time making up poses and facial expressions. When we got to the decorating stage, it was very crowded as we all wanted to add different things. Once they printed out, we were amazed at how pretty they turned out.

Immediately after, we all agreed on another booth that had a bunch of poles and such like a jungle gym with some seats closer to the camera. After we inserted our money once again, we all got set up on the equipment. All of a sudden, curtains appeared in front of us. Confused, we ran to the front to the seats. That first picture turned out to be horrible. When the curtain went back up, we figured it was going to take a picture with the equipment so we hurried back. When the another colored curtain came down, we ran to the front again. This went on for about two more pictures until my mom finally asked the employee what was happening. She said it takes six pictures in the front and six in the back. By then, the curtains had stopped coming down and we were able to take the pictures we had intended to take on the equipment. Again, the pictures turned out great.

We had a lot of fun figuring out the Japanese buttons and machines. I will surely remember my first "Cue!" the rest of my life!
