Finals week!

Oh man, this is finals week! The finals start tomorrow!! On Tuesday, it is AP Calculus and AP French. Wednesday: H Economics and H Physics. Thursday: AP Eng Lit and AVID.
And Friday, the start of a whole new semester. Clean state!

I am so scared about tomorrow. I have been doing some hardcore studying for French...right now I have an 89% in French and in order for me to get an "A" I can only miss five questions out of 75 questions on the test...I have to get an "A" in the test!! French is my best subject....there is no way I am getting a "B" in that class...no way.

And I have an A in Calculus too...94%....so I hope I don't mess up in the final...I am really nervous about tomorrow.
All my finals are gonna be stressful...all of them...I was all confident...but not anymore. There is a lot I need to study...so I am gonna go and study.

I finished reading Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen...I liked it! It was pretty good! A bit different from the other books I have read by her...but definitely good.

"His Desire" by Robert Herrick

Give me a man that is not dull,
When all the world with rifts is full,

But unamazed dares clearly sing
When as the roof's a tottering;

And, though it falls, continues still
Tickling the cittern with his quill.

rifts: faults
cittern: guitar

I have read so many poems in my English class, but this definitely is my favorite one so far.
Rain

Rain comes as drops of joy

Today was amazing!!! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
I walked in the rain! That was my second time walking in the rain. I remember walking in the rain in 7th grade, but I didn't remember it being so much fun!!
I got off from school, and I left the classroom, and what do you see...it's raining! And not drizzling...but it wasn't hardcore rain...but you know, it was raining. And I don't know what happened. I was just like to my friend, Pat, "Hey, you wanna walk home?" And she was like "Yeah! If you want to!"
Oh man, it was truly an amazing experience. I was kind of bummed out in French, but rain made it all better.
It's supposed to rain the whole week! I am so happy. I won't be able to walk home tomorrow because I have to stay for Physics tutoring and then it gets late by the time tutoring is done...but maybe on Friday!

I got home, changed, had tea and dinner, and watched an episode of Buffy!

Senior year!

Dayum! It's been ages since I updated.
Been busy...and haven't been online that much.
School's going good...I like my classes...My favorite class is AP French. I was really scared at first...but now, it's actually fun. The teacher is extremely nice, and likes me. Ms. Slaughter told her some good things about me. =]
AP English is challenging. We are gonna be doing poetry the whole year, and reading novels, and we are gonna start Shakespeare next semester. Currently, I am reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde for English. And then I am reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman with my cousin.
AP Calculus...it's easy for right now...teacher is nice...but I am sure it's gonna get harder.
And other classes Economics, Physics, and AVID are fine. Not very challenging or hard.
What else...I am gonna be starting on my college essays soon...I have three different essays to do. Two for UC's and one for Harvard and NYU.
And then I am taking SAT's on October  3rd...hopefully I will get a score of 2000. I will be happy.
And then I gotta apply for financial aid, get application fee waivers, get my accumulative GPA, and teacher recommendation letters.
I gotta get all the applications in by November.

That's about it...nothing else new with me. I saw The Wedding Singer and The Illusionist...liked both of them. Adam Sandler looked so young...amazing.

stupid stupid math

I don't think I am gonna have straight A's this semester. It makes me really sad. I really messed up last semester...and this semester it's not as bad, but it's not what I had hoped either.

I don't think I have an "A" in Math Analysis anymore, I think I am gonna have a "B!"
Ugh.

Why must I be so stupid in math??
