忙しかったです。
I woke up this morning rather early and most of the day went really well. I worked very hard on my studies and was at school again until late. 17.00~
At the moment I feel very relaxed though. Listening to Mumix Relax channel and just thinking about the day. It's very relaxing...the music makes me mostly feel relaxed though.
Today I felt very confident in all of my subjects. I had extra help on AP Chem and finished a lot. I also spoke with my spanish teacher about creating my senior project. Apparently, we are going to design a lesson as if I was teaching my first day in Japan to students.It seems exciting, but the thought made me a little nervous in that excited way. She seemed really interested in the idea. I really needed to straighten that out, so I was happy for that. Monday in class we are also making alters to honor people who have passed for el dia de los muertos. I think it's very interesting.
Anyways, after speaking with her I stayed in Chemistry for about an hour and a half. I really have been blessed with wonderful teachers. When I was finished, I ran into Wrenn and my sister with her friend.
こわいね! 妹さんと友達.
Can you guess which one she is?
She's the doctor I wouldn't go see for a stomach ache (haha)When I get home there was a few problems. 
I needed sometime to think out somethings and excercised a little to clear my mind. The sky was really lovely and the view was nice over the water while I thought.

とても美しいながめだね。
It might seem silly, but, it just seems like a bad omen to decorate your house in bones and symbolic gorey details. It has to bring negative energy and while I enjoy a good horror movie, I hadn't had the urge to watch one in quite a few months. I guess it's a little strange, but I think it's a good point. I feel like it will attract negative energy to indulge in some of the Halloween aspects. These days, so many decorations are so ridiculously real!
I want to eventually take some new fotos besides on my camera phone.
This weekend I have some studies to do. I want to relax and use my time wisely. I'd like to write something too.

Tonight marks another long week.
It's already 23.13. The time went by really quickly today~
I woke up late this morning and missed first period. 残念でしたBut I made it for second period honors economics and that class was fine.
今日はいそがしかったです. I was very busy all day. Most of my classes went really well but I had to stay over school today.
In the back of my mind I kept thinking about it and it made me feel sleepy (haha) You know?
AP Chem was very very busy and AP Human Geography was a little stressful. Lots of assignments.
しゅくだいたくさんがあります。
Lots of studying tonight. No exams immediately tomorrow but in the near future.

I sat and read for an hour. Around 17.00 I left because I had other homework to do. My teacher was caught up in a meeting and gave me an extension on the assignment. 
I had emailed him right when I got home and apparently we missed each other by only a few minutes!

Sunday Afternoon~

Just another Sunday afternoon. It's really breezy today and the sky is really mild looking. It's been a long weekend, a three day weekend and I still wish it was Thursday (haha) It's all been really pleasant though, but I still have a lot to do before my weekend is over.Schools been tough lately, very tough and keeping my on edge a lot. I've slept so much lately it seems, trying to avoid things and Iam trying to break that happen. My energys just not the same as last year and it makes me wonder if what they say about your senior year of high school is true. I think it might be a few things though, not just one that was weighing me down. I want to change things. Tomorrow is the start of a new quarter, no grades in and fresh beginnings. I have been waiting impatiently for it, I wont lie.<>
Today I have somethings I need to finish. Some studies and I want to finish then completly, to the best of my abilities. I don't want to slack more than necessary.
Yesterday was nice, went out and got my hair cut. It's short, choppy, looks really good. I was surprised. Wrenn spent the night and we were up pretty late just goofing around. This morning I got up pretty early.
Todays homework and I think I might go excercise for a little bit. Me and physical activity need to become reacquainted because it's crazy how different my routine has become since last year. Hour and a half almost every day to not going at all, (though the summer was 2 and half miles everyday from 6.15-15.15 at the volunteer camp) That helped a lot but it made me stop caring a little. I could feel the difference in my breathing when I went two days ago, it's crazy. I think it gives me more energy when I excercise routinely (or more than on occasion)
I need to face everything with a clear mind and determination though. Things are not so...perfectly knit together and there are plenty of worries at the moment that don't even touch my school life. Time to toughen up some more right? Everything will work out for the best, I do believe that.
I need to regain some of that determination from last year. Either way,
がんばります~
今日はいいおてんきだね ~~~

Actually all weekend the weather has been nice! Very cold and it's so random too. It feels more like Christmas weather than Halloween weather. I wonder how long it will last...
This weekend has been less stressful than I thought. I still have some work to do but nothing seems as horrible as I thought it was during the week. My weekend has been good though, enjoying the weather and just relaxing before school begins again for the week.
The sky is really beautiful today ne.
It's the season for Pumpkin Pie, so yesterday I bought a mini pumpkin pie.
おいしそうね~

Today I have some homework to do and just general studies. I would be crazy not to go outside and enjoy the weather though. I want to go take a bike ride for a little while and come back to take a shower. It's still very early, I'm glad I got up early this morning. 8 o'clock seems to be the usual pattern on weekend mornings for waking up.

POSTED ON: 2009年10月16日金曜日 @ 23:27 | 1 comments
I have been really ready for this weekend since the beginning of the week though (laugh)
This weeks been very tough. Very busy and a little stressful. Next week I have a lot of due dates and so in this moment I'm glad that I can relax even if it's until morning when I need to begin some work.
Monday I have a spanish project due, Tuesday is my Senior Research Paper and also my Unit Analysis of Functions Test, Wednesday is my Major Works Data Sheet for Catch-22, Thursday my second question for APHG is due and so is my Job Shadowing Essay Paper.
Plenty of work to keep me busy right? I'll try my best though. Of course there are other little due dates as well, such as AP Chem notes for the next Chapter on Monday.
Friday we have off of school and so I am excited for that (laugh) Actually, very excited because by this time I will have turned in a lot of really really important assignments.
For tonight though, I am just relaxing a little and doing some small assignments. It feels miniscule but I know that it is helpful.
At the moment I'd really like a coffee, a sugar free vanilla one. Sounds so good, I think I'll get one in the morning.
My whole body feels just tired and restless at the same time. I want to just sleep but I have so much to do that it's important to tackle some of it tonight.
がんばります~
Besides being really busy (which is a good thing) I am doing really good. Apparently not anyways, because so many people have been asking me if I feel well ^^;;;;;;;;; I've just been incredibly busy so it's been tough.
Either way, I am quite fine aside from a cough that wont go away. It's weird, really weird but it must be the type of the year.

Job Shadowing
POSTED ON: 2009年10月14日水曜日 @ 18:57 | 2 comments
My day began really early this morning. At 5.00am my mom woke me up to get ready to take her to work. I got dressed quickly and it took longer than expected as we waited for her some other employees to come pick her up.
By then it was nearly 7.00am and I swung by to get an iced coffe.
I grabbed the coffee and my sister wanted me to take her to school. I had about an hour of time to myself before I had to leave for the middle school. This morning went by like lightening, it was so quick. I dropped off my sister and began headed for the school. At first I got lost (haha) but then retraced my steps and everything was alright. Even getting a little lost, I still arrived earlier than expected by about 20 minutes.
I met my mentor a little after 9.20am. For the first thirty minutes while I was there we went over about twenty questions I had for her. It was hardly any time for me to get a really good opinion about her. She is really compassionate and truly loves her students. She is so constantly busy with the school and tries really hard to make connection with the ESOL students. By the way, that is who I was observing today, an ESOL teacher.
I stayed for her first three classes, she has four with about seven to eight students in each class. Most students were directly from another country, such as one student who had only moved from Venezuela a month ago. It was really interesting and all of the students were incredibly diverse. Some spoke and understood English very well, others didn't know more than a few words.
It was almost like being in my Spanish class. Some of the strategies she used were very similiar to how my teacher teaches us Spanish. She would speak in English and then recap in Spanish. Using discretion but as not to embarrass her students, she would correct their pronounciation while they read.
The first class was 7th grade then there was a break. We spoke some more and went over the questions until they were finished. Like I said, her job is very interesting and she had some really touching stories about some of the less fortunate children she works with.
The rest of the day consisted of two more classes and a break for lunch. I got a chance to interact with the students and practice my spanish listening skills. I followed what she was saying and it made connecting with the students easier too though I didn't speak to them in Spanish. I spoke to one girl about highschool and got such an impression...
It was eventually time to leave and I was ready for it but very very grateful. I know I will job shadow her again in February when the time comes around. I thanked her profusely and I'll send the thank you letter very soon. I feel a strong desire to do this kind of work and today only made that stronger.
I made a wrong turn on the way home but recovered quickly (laugh) I knew I had made a wrong turn the second I did it. I got home by 14.00am. Picked up my sister at 14.45 and then met Wrenn right after at McDonald's. We spoke until about 16.00 or so. Then I came home and had to take my sister to school at 15.00. My mother also wanted me to go get Lotto Tickets and put gas in the car.
By this time I felt pretty exhuasted to be honest (haha) I dropped my sister off, got the Lotto tickets, came home and began doing some Spanish homework at 17.30. At 18.30 I had to pick my sister back up and now I am finally taking a little break from everything.
The day was so incredibly busy and it wont end yet. I have a lot of homework and studying to do tonight. I need to push myself to get it all done. I really need to find an energy supplement though (haha)
Today was productive. I'd try job shadowing for classes any day (haha)

Maybe I'm not in a dreamy state but the weekend was nice. Today was busy but good. Tiring like always and I came home and just totally crashed for a few hours.
This past weekend I celebrated my birthday at my dad's since I hadn't seen him in awhile and couldn't for my birthday. It's always fun to be with him because everything we do is normally creative. He tried to swing a few different things despite the money situation. It was very lovely and I felt spoiled 0^_^0 to be honest.
We had birthday cake and a lovely dinner on Saturday night. He had just taken me out to the grocery store to see what I wanted for dinner. So, we had chicken, fresh string beans and fresh mushrooms.
Friday night we went to this pizza gallery that's a real upbeat place. It's atmosphere and the whole plaza it's in reminds me of Miami. So, I was reminiscing the entire time it seemed. Their was this gorgeous fountain there as well...it was quite a sight.
There was lights surrounding it too in the bushes and a few benches. It was deserted in the middle of the plaza and from the benches you could hear a live band playing soft rock music.
On Saturday we had also gone out to the mall. I got some pretty good deals on clothing that I am really happy about. Clothes can be so expensive, especially if you're trying to go for that sort of Tokyo-Seoul look right? Not that I come close (laugh)
Baby Phat shoes and I got them for such a discount. Rack Room Shoes are really nice for prices and they always have this ongoing great deal.
We all stopped to get a coffee at Starbucks too which is even a treat you know? With prices like that, but the coffee was good.
At the end of the night we ran over to the local 7-11 to get a lotto ticket and some scratch offs (an 18 year old activity haha) and...there was someone surprising all over the little gas station...

どもくん!
So I had to get a few little items from him. My dad was all surprised like 'I just thought that was the big bite guy?" (laugh) And his image was all over the slurpy machines and in the windows, on the cups, etc...it was cute and disturbing all at the same time. (I would have preferred どらえもん)
I got a wonderful deal on a rather large Buddha statue. I had bought some inscents in the same shop and than found many many more at the market the next day.
So many right? All only $1 and so many in a pack.
There was a small Korean cellular stand. (The whole market is really like a market, tables spread out and lots of junk but lots of treasures for real cheap)
I bought a couple charm for myself and Shou ♥ they're cute no?
I also got this little charm too.
So Sunday was really nice to at the market. Very interesting and my dad got us back a little late.
Speaking of future. Wednesday is job shadowing. Everything is set up except for how to get there (laugh) I need to pull up a map so I know where I am going.
Tonight is plenty of studying. Chem test on Thursday, Analysis of Function test tomorrow~ Need to study hard tonight and read too.

Today is a new day.
I feel pretty optimisticly too.
Last night I got so much work done. A lab report that I don't think I can part with and a research outline. This weekend I hope to do more work like this. It's a good feeling when you don't want to part with your work because it means that you really spent time and effort into it. Despite looking, maybe, like a vampire today, I feel hopeful.

So this new school year has been really tough. So much has been happening, inside and outside of school. I fell behind so much and caught back up to fall behind again. I guess this is what
"real life" is like, never feeling stable or secure and just going day by day.It's tough, really tough. But, I know everything will work out. Today I took a break. It wasn't necessary, I shouldn't have, but I guess I stayed home for a reason, you know? Everything has been so fast paced and so constant. It's like study study study study. To the point where I even feel like I am eating less. Today is defenitely the exception and this weekend will be too.
I need to continue to be optimistic. Pray and be optimistic and everything will work out. I feel like, it's been tough but I haven't worked hard enough yet. Let's meet the challenge though.
It's never too late. I'll keep at it. I feel pretty relaxed at the moment, well, as much as I can anyways.

今日は忙しかったです。
Last night I stayed up doing studies for quite awhile. I got a lot done but eventually fell asleep around 2.00am or so. I slept the rest of the time and felt a little frantic this morning. I had to calm down a little and think things through, then everything was fine.
Today felt very long and tiring. I was busy until about 17.30, when I got out of school. I had to stay behind in Chemistry to study for an exam tomorrow. 頑張ります~！m(_._)m
I was real honest with a teacher too. I am a little behind in English but it only took moments to explain and then I was rushing back to Chemistry. I didn't want to lie and look like an idiot. The worse thing you can do is destroy your trust with your teachers. It's just better to be honest, if possible.
So, I studied and was busy. I finally feel caught up in Analysis of Functions and that's a wonderful feeling of relief! I hadn't been able to learn it properly and now it finally makes sense.
Test Tomorrow!
Tonight I will just study hard and take a shower.

Tomorrow is tests/quizzes in: Analysis of Functions, AP Chemistry, Economics and AP Human Geography.

AP Human Geography test soon too. I feel more confident this time though. I need to read Catch-22 at night though and just pummel through it. I think this week will be incredibly busy and I'll need to give up a little more sleep. But..幸せもの. I still feel fortunate. Let's work hard and pull through this.

I did so much school work today. Last night I felt very drained and a little down because of how overwhelming things have become. I am fine today though, I just needed to think for a little while. I got a lot done today but still have plenty to do.
今日は誕生日です！ 今。。私は十七です。
わあ！
This morning I also woke up a little older. Today is my eighteenth birthday.
The day is almost over now though, but that's okay. Wrenn drove me to school and she also made me this card. My small photos to not give it any justice but, it's really cool in person. You can tell she put a lot of time and effort into it. I really appreciated it.
Oh and also Mickey earrings! すげい！So much Mickey on the card too, wonderful (haha)
That was this morning and then...school resumed like normal (ha).
The day felt very long. Lots of work, lots of catching up still.
I stayed busy during advisary and lunch. All day, I was thinking about the AP Chem test afterschool.
During lunch I was suprised with a gift from あかい. It was really considerate.
School continued on.
Last period felt very long but it was interesting.
Eventually, school let out and it was time to go take the Chem Test. 15.00~

I did pretty well and now I have to complete test corrections. I got to sit and eat my Pocky while taking the test. The school was lonely when I left and the sky was already kind of dim.
When I got home I had cheesecake and Wrenn was over for a little bit. My sister's friend was here too. My dad called me again to sing happy birthday and to just ramble about somethings.
The rest of the night was sort of busy. I am finally speaking to Shou now ♥ and tonight will just be easy. I want to write a little and study some Japanese or Korean.

ほんとうに忙しいです！
I have been very busy and tired lately. But! I feel pretty good now that the weekend is getting closer. At the beginning of the weak I felt very stressed out.
My weak has been very difficult with lots of work to do. All of my deadlines and due dates seem around the corner. But today, today everything seems manageable. It is a good feeling.
I still have a lot to do tonight and this weekend. Plenty coming up but I don't feel like I am drowning so badly anymore.
The weather has been really favorable the past few days too. It's very nice, cool in the mornings and stays cool in the afternoons for the most part.
Beautiful weather means a beautiful sky...and it has been great too.
This morning and last night I got a lot of work done. Today in AP Chem we had a fun lab too. I really like lab days because they are more layed back and help to put the concepts we are learning together.
Today, the idea of the lab was to determine the molar mass of Butane, or C4H10. You might be thinking that all you have to do is look on the periodic table but this isn't the case necessarily in terms of finding its molar mass.
We obtained certain factors so we could use the ideal gas law. Pv = nRT
P= pressure (obtained in torrs or atm) T= temperature (always in Kelvin)
n= number of moles R= constant; 0.0821 v= volume (always in Liters)
Our percent error was alright but we made some funny mistakes. It will be easy to explain our mistakes in the lab report for next thursday. I had turned to one of my lab partners and asked "So, what do you think are our possible errors so far?" (because we have to log our errors, to discuss later in our reports)
He gave me a funny smile and said "Hmm..maybe when I cracked the petri dish during the first trial...possibly we lost some butane"
XD Well yeah, of course haha. It was funny.
Tomorrow I am finally taking the Chem test that I missed. I am nervous but happy to get it out of the way altogether. Tonight I have to finish an old lab report dealing with titrations. There are somethings I really need to remember for the test tomorrow, including my solubility rules, strongest acids and bases as well as half reactions dealing with oxidation and reduction.
There are somethings that are very tricky. For example, here is one of the equation questions:
Excess nitric acid is added to solid sodium bicarbonate.
From there we have to write the balanced net equation and then answer a question about the reaction.
HNO3 + NAHCO3 -----> H2O + C2O + NaNO3
The tricky part is realizing that when an acid reacts with a carbonate, carbon dioxide and water is always formed. One would think that H2CO3 was the product, but that's not correct. The next equation is then what is left that is most important and has changed.
H (+) + HCO3 (-) ------> H2O + CO2
So, somethings are a bit of a headache (lol) Last chapter was all about reactions and classifying them. Along with titrations and more on molar mass. This chapter is all about gases, so it's a lot more simpler. We test on Tuesday!!
Chem on the brain much, right? (lol) I am done talking about it. Tonight I have some goals and a lot of homework.
(Oh wow, it's me! lol)
