Miracles Happen...

I'm finally done High School!!! Not that there was anything bad about it or anything, but can you actually blame me for being a TAD excited? I couldn't sleep the night before the exam for 2 reasons:

1) I spent the whole night debating with Melissa that Math is just as important as English and that if they make English mandatory, they should make Math mandatory as well. But anyway, I won't get into that at the moment. I'll explain more later my reason.

2) I was so excited that the next day was going to be my last exam and then after that, I'm done High School forever.

Stupid reasons, I know. Judge me? Screw you! No, just kidding. Whoa, this is sound like the grad write ups in the yearbook. Yeah, I got my first yearbook ever! Everything about today should be exciting. I can't stop looking at my yearbook, it's so.... beautiful.

Also, another thing that all grads should be excited about tonight is COMMENCEMENT!! the thing I'm most happy about for commencement is that "WE GET TO KEEP THE FREAKIN' HATS!!" Don't ask me why I'm going crazy, because I don't even know. So yes, commencement is today, not tomorrow. I dont know why I always thought that it was tomorrow. Remember to make it there on time everyone!

Making It Special

To make my last band sectional special, I decided to follow Stefan's "Angry-Man-Trav" comic and wore black shoes as a joke. It turned out fun. On my last day of high school, I wanted to do something that I've never done in high school before. So I wore a skirt. It felt kind of funny... and difficult to sit, the girls would know what I'm talking about. (Guys? not so much). Unfortunately, I didn't bring a camera or anything so I didn't get to take any pictures with friends or anything, but I guess it didn't matter anyway because I didn't see most of them for the whole day. Some people decided not to show up because they didn't have class or anything. Whatever. Their choice.

I had three spares in the morning and just one class on the very last block of the day. Ironically, I still had to stay after school to right a test. It was a pretty relaxing day indeed. I spent most of my spare hours inside Mr. Sak's room working on physics and trying to understand it. I think I got the hang of it by the end of the day. Before I took my Physics test though, I still had to go to Chemistry class. I was hoping I wouldn't forget everything with just one block of Chemistry mixing in with the Physics. I guess I'm one of those people who have a one subject mind.

Math "Rave" is today evening. PIZZA!! ...I think. I'm at UBC right now. Hugging Hanson. NOT! He has work to do and I felt so unwelcomed last night when I told him I was going to go today. Whatever. I understand it's work and it comes first... when at UBC (and work hours). All the other times, I hope I come first.... *giggles* So yeah, I'll post again later! See ya!

Death Week (It's Ironic)

So yes, today is my birthday. I took a Physics and Chemistry test today; they were both really hard. This week, I have at least one test everyday. I can't afford to slack off, but knowing that summer's coming soon, I feel a lot better and convince myself that I can do it. I can't believe it. It's not even Provincial Exams yet and I'm already stressing out about tests and subjects. I have no idea how well I did on the Chemistry test, but on the Physics re-test, I improved by one mark.... I don't think it's going to help my mark much though.

Turning 18 isn't really a big deal, I know, but I don't want to turn 18. 18 just seems... so old. I want to be 15 again; the age where the fun never stops. Because I'm turning 18 today, I was thinking about buying my first legal 6/49 or some kind of lottery ticket, but then again, that's $1!! I know it might not be a lot of money on its own, but just watch as I save it up! I'm more of a saver than a spender. After getting a job and actually working, I've started to see the value of money and try not to spend all of my parent's money.

Let's keep track of what kinds of tests I did or is going to do this week as a momento of how stressed out I was on the last week of school of my High School years:

Monday: Chemistry
Tuesday: Math
Wednesday: Chemistry and Physics
Thursday: Math
Friday: Physics

It seems like they're all from the same 3 classes!

Band Concert and Birthday Party

So yes, the final band concert at DSS was a success. The tickets were all sold out; no empty seats left. My mom asked me if I wanted her to go, I told her I did, but it was too late by then. During the concert when Mrs. Behenna was making the speech, I sort of felt like crying. It was going to be the last concert I'll ever do. It feels so sad to leave. I began in band in grade 9 as a flute player. In grade 10, I switched to Tenor Sax. I had to skip band for a year because of all the science courses I was taking. I missed band so much that I decided to take band for my final year in high school just to make my high school life more memorable. Mrs. Behenna gave all of the grade 12's a pin of their own instrument while on stage. I got a Tenor Sax pin. It was adorable. Anyway, after the concert, all of the grade 12's headed over to Mrs. Behenna's house for a party. I don't know when the party ended because I had to go home and study chemistry.

Then, on Saturday, time for my own party. I asked Hanson to come early just so we could have some alone time. He did what I asked and came at 9:30. Unfortunately, my whole family was up by then. I didn't get to spend alone time with Hanson; infact, I didn't get to spend ANY time with him that morning. I felt so bad for making him come so early and not being able to do anything with him. He was so tired by the end of the night.. poor baby.

Sarah called to wish me a happy birthday and asked if she could come to the party. I said sure, but it's going to be pretty boring because I think we're just going to watch movies and stuff. I know because this is the way family parties always turn out. I think after hearing that, she decided not to come and told me that she would give me my present on Monday. I actually thought that the Tarot Cards were my present, I didn't think that she actually got me something. Alex knows what it is, but he wouldn't tell me. He said I'm guaranteed to like it. Anyway, for the whole party, Lynn, Alex, Hanson and I and the rest of my family just watched asian movies like "Shaolin Soccer" and another movie by Stephen Chow called "60 Million Dollar Man". I got a Dairy Queen birthday cake and everyone had a piece and then opened the presents that I got. Alex gave me Totoro stamps, which I thought was really cute. At first, he suggested to give me burnt movies, I was like no thanks. First of all, I don't watch many movies. Second, if I want to burn movies, I can do it myself. So yes, and then my uncle (mom's side) gave me Digi Charat DVDs and then Hanson gave me a phone (speaker phone included). It was sort of unexpected. I always wanted a phone with a speaker phone on it just because it's easier at times and he actually got me one. Which means, he remembers what I want and has me on his mind... at least I hope so... They stayed past 12, which was really surprising considering Hanson's early bed time. Alex just HAD to finish watching "Shall We Dance". My mom said that he has a "law mai see futt", which means that he has a "sticky rice butt". Figure of speech, it means that he doesn't like to move much. I found it so funny.
