Sooooooo. On my third driving trip adventure, I drove back to El Sereno so I could have a pj partee Peeter and Tony, because only god knows how much I love those dumb cousins of mine. We all looked a mess, and didn't care. That's what I love about relatives. You don't have to bother looking nice for them.
Anywhooo, I don't think that I drove that poorly or anything, besides the fact that I was extremely slow and got honked at a few times. Oh, and the fact that I almost hit a car when it went into the wrong lane as I tried to switch. *shrugggg* I wouldn't want to be any car behind me or near me for that matter. ;0

 

But yeah, as I was at Peeter's house, I discovered what a little snoop I am. After we played around outside and went in, I got extremely bored and picked stuff off their table to look at. I looked at their magazines, receipts, newspaper ads, coupons, and old homework. It's not my fault I ended up that nosey. Those guys are slobs and you can't help buy 'pick up' their junk and look at it. Besides, you'd want to admire what girly, pretty writing Peeter has anyway. :B
Peeter is obsessed with David, because that was all he could talk about. Tony had to beat him up to get him to stop. I wonder how much Peeter is going to miss him when he goes off to college. I know I will.

The school year is ending too quickly. After Wednesday's ap cal test, it will be as if school is over already. u_u

I've been at school from 7:15 all the way through 8:45, never once setting foot off campus. ;_; That's like 12 hours of pure test taking and studying!

How horrible that sounds. And considering I didn't sleep much because I was studying the wrong crap for the ap spanish test last night, I am officially pooped out. But even so, I still have to cram more for the calc test, because god knows how much I suck at that.

And yes, I am rather disappointed with the turnout of the ap spanish test because well, Ms. Utting lied to us. She only said this one part of the grammar wouldn't be on it, and I was fine with the rest so I was depending on that section of the test to bring me to a 4. But no! The entire test, besides the essay, listening and speaking was reading comprehension. Liekhellooooo, if I suck at reading comp in english, I hella suck at reading comp in spanish. Soooo, all in all, I failed. I didn't even finish the test, and when I say that, I mean that I left off like 15 questions. And oh! The listening. liekomggggg. Mrs. stupid Schneider blasted the tape so all of the voices got muffled and I couldn't hear a thing. I don't think many people could. The passages seemed longer, and the people talking had lisps. The old practice tests didn't sound anything that thta. :[ Ms. Utting didn't prepare us at all and boy, I'm pissed off, not to mention bummed out. I seriously won't be surprised if I get a 2.

 

 

 :[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ ;_;

Though I didn't ditch x]

Apparently you get called a nerd by everyone if you don't ditch, but whatever. I honestly had nothing better to do today so I went to school. I mean, what was I going to do at home anyway? Sleep? I could sleep at school! It's not like we were going to learn anything. And I was right. We didn't. Besidesss, clearing my name would be too annoying to deal with. :D

I played Scattergories in spanish. Talked in Physics. Watched a video for EC for psych. Talked like woah during econ. Watched Big Bird get lost in a museum for Humanities. Talked in Avid. Talked in Calc.

Now I admit, Big Bird was hella retarded. The sub even gave us a chance to ditch when he saw that we were watching Big Bird, but I wanted the EC and did the work anyway. They day couldn't have been any easier :D

 

A lot of people came to school anyway. There were at least 8 people in each of my classes. Soo whateverrr to those who ditched. There's no where to go anyway. The beach? Ha. It's freaking cold and windy today. The beach would be even windier. But hey, that's what they get.

Okay okay so I went to prom. I lost watermelon's bet thrice, but didn't tell him about that last one. He'll find out sooner or later. Anyway, I don't want to go into major details since I'm lazy.

And so what if I ditched the potential dates to go with some girlfriends. I knew I wouldn't have a good time with them. And besides, Tiff bought the tickets already and I had to go with girlfriends. No use in wasting monies.

So here's the bulleted list with a bit of stuff:

-I bought my xoxo dress last minute for a price that no one can believe. I'm Asian, so more power to me for finding an eleven dollar dress.  Besides, the dress made me look like sunshine and some people wanted to rip it off my back.

- I took plenty of pre-prom pictures

- I took plenty more pictures in the limo

- Danced and sang in the limo before arriving at the Reagan Library

- Talked and took more pictures while waiting in line to get our bags searched

- The woman laughed at me when she pulled yellow socks out of my bag

- I waited for Tiff to arrive so I could enter with her (Since they wouldn't let me in otherwise >:0)

- Discovered that the people she arrived with was Howard, the guy who used to live illegally in the house we rent to his uncle. The guy who got kicked out of the house because he was the reason their house got robbed. Yeah. That Howard. Darned Howard. He kept looking at me too. He deserves a t2h.

- Took more pictures!

- Pigged out by the buffet

- Talked to some teachers and met thier boyfriends/husbands.

- Danced like wild.

- Went into the exhibit, only to get kicked out a little while later.

- Took more pictures with people on the dance floor. Pity I didn't have my own camera to take pictures. But they had theirs.

- Watched Jenny dance/move like a robot. =X Kept my distance so I wouldn't be buttsandwiched in her robot dancing group.

- Sang Winter Wonderland, Burn baby Burn (Disco Inferno), and the Twelve Days of Christmas on Karaoke. Sounded like crap, too, but we had some Brigher Side Singers with us so it wasn't thatt bad.

- Danced like crazy mad even more. Sang along to the three song played just for girls. ;0

- Went up to look at who got crowned king and queen

- Talked and took even more pictures

- Danced even more and did the YMCA while at it.

And then it ended.

 

What was great with prom, though, was that every time I walked by a drink table, I could grab a drink, take three sips, put it down and go away. :D

 

And as for pictures, wellllll, we'll see about that later.

Overall though, I had a blast, just like what Ms. Utting said.

 

A while back, I was talking stupidly with watermelon and caught on to saying the word coolio for a few days. I know, I know. That's so 90s. Anyway, after a while, Karen hit me every time the word slipped out of my mouth. I told watermelon and he made me stop saying it too, because it was super uncool.

 

Wellll, today I saw H. Nightmare, Oliverio say 'coolio'.

Jennifer: coolio

Okay, I'm listening to the Spice Girls again. Surprise! It's so . . .  90's.

 

I feel like a cheeseball.

I'm truly saddened. The entire schoolyear, I have been helping Justin with spanish, because I honestly want him to pass. I don't want him to fail for the 4th time. All he needs is a C, ye know, then he can advance to Spanish II, though I don't know how he'll survive. But if it'll make him happy, I'll help him, ye know.

And with my help all first semester, he got a C. Good job, right?

I would say so. The boy even said hands down, I was the best tutor he had so far. What an ego booster.

 

But this semester is different. I thought he was doing fine and pulling off with a C. I even spoke to his teacher a little while ago and he was surviving. But noo. Not today. Today I find out that he's failing again. liek wth :[[[[

It's absolutely frustrating to find that my efforts with this stubborn kid is going to a waste. I derno what else to do. I spent pretty much all day with his dialogue hoping that he does okay on it tomorrow, but I don't know. He's just gets so frustrated with the work and I derno how to make him calm down. :[

So if he does pass the class, I will find my high school career complete. I hope for the besttt.

Soooo. Mother's Day. What did I do

Well back in the beginning of April or whatever, I realized that I needed community service hours like woah, or I wouldn't be able to graduate. I went to the CSL office after school and noticed that the Renaissance Faire sign up list was out and signed up for the last four days because I didn't want it to interfere with any testing, knowing that would get me all of my hours. Since I had to take the AWPE because I was too lame to fufill any of the writing requirements (which wasn't so bad because I got to be in the same room as Justin), I didn't get to do it yesterday.

 

Butttttt, back when I signed up, I didn't know that May 14 was Mother's Day. I only realized it was mother's day a few days ago when I saw Mother's Day commercials on tv, but it was too late to take my name off the list because Ms. Murasko already sent me 'urgent' mail in Econ telling me not to back out because it makes TC look really bad. So I went today, and boy, was my mum hella pissed in the morning. She criticized everything about the place. Its location, how hard it was to find, that it was near a beer brewing factory, that the parking is all dust blah blah blah.

 

 

And oh. She got mad at what I had to do. Parking duty (which isn't as glamorous as anyone would think it to be) in the hot hot sun with dust flying everywhere for 3 hours.

I thought that signing up for the Renaissance Faire was a good deal though. I got a free shirt, even if it's ugly as hell and super extra large and two free tickets to the Renaissance Faire, worth 25 bucks each. The work was kinda retarded. I've become really good at moving my arms in large circles, though. I realized after a while when all of the cars wouldn't stop coming in, that the drivers are smart enough to follow each other and I pretty much just stood there and got attacked by flies while I applied my bug repellent sunscreen. The people in the car were pretty happy and kind though. :D There were a lot of drivers and passengers that waved hi to me, including this really cute pirate guy in a white truck :0. That sure made my day. Anywho, I took a really long break because I didn't think the people out there would notice me missing anyway. There were plenty of kiddos directing cars, and one kid off of the pretty close line of kids wouldn't make a difference. :D I came back and saw Angela and we pretty much stood and talked (at a far enough distance so we'd be doing our 'work' though) .

Anywhooooo, I got my free tickets at the end, and since my mum was nagging at me to go since you know, she was pretty PO'd, I sold both my tockets for 30 bucks and left. I pretty much made money offa community service. Good deal yo! That made my mum really happy though. She couldn't stop talking about how brilliant and some word in chinese that I can't translate I was for signing up for this job.
And if it hadn't been mother's day, I would've so went to the faire, because I can go for free with my shirt. I'm soooo going back next week   

---

But after that, I had to go take the ugliest passport photo known to man. The photographer was cheap and everything, but he had nudeywoman on his walls. And right before he snapped, he was like "smile!", and I had the dumbest look on my face because I thought you weren't supposed to smile for passport photos. u_u

Since I don't want to waste my mum's money, I didn't retake it. The only solution is never to open my passport for 10 years, because that's when I'll have to renew it. That'll work! >:0

 

Besides that, I did treat my mom like she should be treated

I went bottle shopping today! Yay! :[

 I don't think Mr. Slattery realizes how hard it is to collect enough 2-liter bottles to build a raft. Recycling centers can't sell them back to you, because the cost of the bottles are already in the computer and if the number of bottles don't match up at the end, the workers get blamed.

So we pretty much hovered around recycling centers and pounced on any recycler and asked if they had any 2 liter bottles we could buy offa them. We gave a good deal, too, the worker man said so. :0

We even went to Chinese restaurants that might have had a wedding party the previous night to possibly bum bottles off of, but some mexican man came and took them all. We waited a while later for this other wedding partee to end though. And we bummed bottles of birthday parties.

 

The whole experience was actually kind of funny. We still don't have 100 bottles, but we'll make do I guess.

 

But because of the lack of 2 liter bottles, we had to cut down on the size of the raft that I will be sitting on to cross the pool. I derno how that'll work, but if it starts to sink, I'm blaming Stephen for his bad taping. >:0 Pictures later, because we aren't done.

 

"Hey mommy, do we have a new daughter?"
That's exactly what my dad did when he saw me come out of the room in a sparkly blue dress and heals. He stopped what he was doing and called my mom. u_u 

So why was I all dressed up and shocking absolutely everyone?

Welllll, I had an extremely gay boy in my living room dancing with me last night.

Bradley had called me a little earlier to talk about our project, and he discovered that he forgot how to get into the disco turns. I told him the cuddle, but since I'm just a follower, I don't know anything right. And so he came over late at night in his jammies and took my homework time away from me. Even so, I can't get mad at this guy. :0 Don't you just hate people like that? I do but I still can't hate him. Anywhooo, so we rehearsed a bit of the dancing for today's presentation.

 

We were the first group to present our music project and I thought we would do a bang up job. We dressed in our little salsa outfits and everyone matched each other some way. We had a biggo artistically drawn poster of salseros, and little feet diagrams for the moves we were gonna teach 'em. Plus, we demonstrated the dance. The only negative to that was on my part, because I kept sliding in my heals on the extremely slippery floor. >:0 I didn't fall or anything, but it still made the class chuckle.

But you see the bad thing about how we planned this was that we focused way more on the dancing than the music. Jenny didn't even know it was a music project until I told her, and she had to change her entire speech thing. No one practiced what they had to say though. :B I only read it through a few times after dozing off a bit so I struggled through my talking portions. Our bad speaking and lack of other visual aides probably hurt our grade, but hey, being the first group, I still say we did a good job. >:0

At first I thought it was a great idea. Then as it came near, I didn't really want to go through with it. Then on the day, towards the end of school, I thought it would be fun and awesome. :0

Salsa Clubbinggggg. That's right. Little 'ol Jennifer went out to a club. Although I'm probably one of the last people you would ever imagine giong to a club, I went anyway. :] Now don't worry. It was tame, and even though I was underaged, Ms. Utting talked to the manager and got us in. :D:D:D

The lowdown

Pre-Granada

Straight afterschool yesterday, I went to the art show for like 10 minutes, left and went home to nap because I've been hecka tired for the past I don't know how many weeks because it has been so long.

Anywho, I woke up a little while later, cleaned and dressed up just before seven when Bradley came to pick me up in his hot little car. One thing I know, the car ain't straight. ;0 I wanted to take a picture of us before going, but the guy banged his knee on the swimming pool or something during his diving practice, so he came to my door with his dress shirt, basketball shorts and ice wrapped around his knees. So no picture opportunity there!

It was okay. We went to Taylor's house where her cute doggy attacked us and where Bradley changed into his complete outfit. It started to sprinkle so again, no picture opportunity. We had imagined everything to take a lot longer, but we were on Main Street in no time. The only problem was that we had no idea where it was because Senorita gave us misleading directions. Bradley drove all the way until El Sereno when I told him that Main Street was gonna end. xD So we did the only thing we could do. We called for directions. We called Ms. Utting's boyfriend, where he was surely confused on how we got his number. Obviously Ms. Utting didn't tell him she gave it out. When that didn't work, we called home. xD Taylor called her mommy and I called Karen. Karen gave us the address on the web, where again, it was wrong. Then we called the club and found out that we had to turn left on Main  Street, and it was like the third building down. u_u So ha, in the end, leaving early was a good thing.

Dinner

Sooo, we took pictars, waited for the people to come, and met everyone of Ms. Utting's party. Itwas fun seeing Utting all dressed up with her boyfriend though. She was so cute. :'D One thing for sure, it was mighty weird seeing her with cleavage. xD We took more pictures and ate. Bradley and I, having Humanities, learned our prom and dining etiquettes, ate properly. ;0 I can't say that for everyone though, cough cough Matt. WWJD?!

The Dancing :000

Anywho, after dinner, we went down, talked a bit and watched the Salsa lesson going on, and the minute it hit 9:45, Bradley and I ran to the middle of the dance floor with the music blaring so loud that you can become deaf and Salsa'd like there was no tomorrow. We came back, sat, talked and watched other people dance. I tell ya, Bradley was having a blast because every time we did something, he was cheered. xD Jenny ended up dancing with the dance instructor a few times because he watched her dance earlier and she was apparently doing everything wrong. That was hiliarious. xD He never pulled me over, so I guess what I did was okay. o_o; Whooo knows.

Throughout the night, I danced with a lot of older men, like older older. xD It was kinda funny though. I forgot how many men came with Senorita's party and thought that all of the guys that asked me to dance were part of her group. But then I looked at the picture on my camera of us at the table and I only saw one. o_o; So now I don't know the exact number of strangers I danced with. hahaha. I know for sure, though, that I danced with two strangers.
After this one song was over, I walked back to our little reserved booth and this man in red, I saw, watched me. And at 11:20 PM (Bradley was watching me and the time xD), a complete stranger named Antonio  asked me to dance. Me being kinda stupid thought it was another one of Utting's party. I should've known he wasn't because he was pretty young looking. o_o; So we danced and towards the end of the song, he asked me where I was from. I answered, but in my head I was wondering why he didn't know if he was a part of Ms. Utting's TCHS's Salsa Club. Yeah. Then it hit me that he was a complete stranger. He was nice though. He gave me a biggo hug after the dance. He even lied through his teeth when he complimented me on that I was a good follower. Like tch yeah I'm a good follower. I swear the men that danced with me pretty much had to drag me around because I had no idea what moves they were doing. He came back to the booth with me talked and wanted to dance with me again, but I got dizzy from all of the spins he did and decided not to. That crazy dancer. haha. And if anyone is wondering, NO I did not get a picture of him. My camera was too far away for me to get.
Khanh asked me to dance a little while later. Before he said that he was a beginner, but I tell ya he was lying. He tried to do this move and I was hella confused because as it turns out, he tried it dip me. :0 After following incorrectly (What a surprise), he showed me what was supposed to happen, and I tell ya, I got dipped. :0 I specifically remember hearing that dips were illegal in the club because they didn't want anyone to get hurt. :000 Khanh was nice though, and what made him even better was that he put up with my awful dancing lololz. And again, if anyone was wondering, No I didn't get a picture of him either.

 

Well enough about that. The night went by really quickly. After midnight, we decided to go home. Apparently this man wanted to dance with me too, but I had to say no because we were going. Antonio saw me talking with my stuff, came over and said bye and thanked me. He told me to come back on Fridays because that's when he would be there. xD

 

 

Sooooooooo. Overall, I had a blast dancing, or trying to dance at the club. xD It was nice seeing everyone getting all dressed up, and dressing up myself. :D:D:DD It was even fun trying to dance with the strangers since none of them were disgusting or anything. Jenny said earlier that she would pretend she was doing charity work by dancing with the older men, but really, it wasn't so bad because they all knew what they were doing.

And what's even greater is that my feet didn't hurt after. :0 Yay.
