First time for everything

It was a feast in the cafeteria. There were no short of desserts, from apple pies to creme brulee, and I had a hard time choosing. I picked up a piece of rasberry topped brownie and set it on my tray---shoot, I already have 2 sides. It would be rather embarassing to put it back, but I didn't want to pay 75 cents for it either. After a moment of deliberation, I unfolded a piece of napkin and wrapped the brownie in it. It was my first time 'stealing' food from the cafeteria, but I couldn't resist the brownie. I considered hiding it in my hoodie pockets, but I don't need to act so cautious now do I? Nonchalantly, I typed in my pin and waited for the cashier/lunch lady to ring up the registered. I smiled, as she was having some trouble, but then she spotted my napkin in my hand. "What do you have there?"
Before I could answer, her hand was already on it; a piece of the brownie broke off and fell onto the floor. Uh oh.
She looked disappointed. Somehow I expected this to happen? Me, a good student like me?
"umm..." I stuttered as she sighed, "I'll buy it..."
"No," she replied, "you can't buy extra sides..."
What is she talking about? Of course you can, it cost 75 cents. I was puzzled by her response. Another lunch lady from behind answered "umm...you can." But that upseted the cashier even more. "No you can't alright!" She yelled out with frustration. I was caught in the middle of an awkward situation I never wanted to take part in; let it end now....
What time is it..? I thought to myself...Uh oh.

I woke up.

It was 7:45.I had a feeling I overslept again, but today I actually remembered hearing the alarm , as opposed to other days when I don't even recall it going off. I sat up in my bed and though, wow...I really don't feel like going to 1st hour today... But I debated; If I hurry, I'll only be somewhat late and don't have to worry about my dad complaining or have to deal with the red slip. But, because French is a really worthless class, it's legit to skip it. I've been good, I've only skipped French one time this year, so why not again?

I wanted to leave the house before my dad woke up, but that didn't happen. He sort of just laughed when he saw I was still in the house.
Whatever.
I left the house around 8:20, since dad thought I was just going to be 'tardy'.(ha, yeah right...) I drove around campus abit before parking on meridian. 8:40. Walk, enter, sit,study,2nd hour.

Just another monday.

:yawn:

So I finally checked my SAT scores today. I've been sort of avoiding this for various reasons over the past week or so. You know how when you think you did good, you end up failing? And when you think you did crap, you end up with something decent? Well, I think that's always been the case with my test scores, not only SAT, but also in classes. I'm not really sure how I felt when I came out of testing at the beginning of November. Everyone said it was easy, but I can't understand my judgments anymore. So, I contemplated about how I should think about my results: Maybe I should think negative, and that somehow will raise my test score--- but then that might pull another reverse psychology on me. Or I can just think positive, but then that might end up disappointing me even more.
It's complicated, the thoughts I had, I don't think I understand myself. To play things safe, I assumed I failed again (since that's been the case for the past tests). I wasn't too enthusiastic about checking my test scores because I didn't really want to know, more so, I was scared. I might as well forget about it over break and spare the emoness.

So what did I get? That's undisclosed info of course. ~.~ I got 10 pts lower than last time, but I'm actually semi-ly okay with my scores except for the math section. Somehow I really failed that one and dropped 100 points. It's kind of funny actually. I remember talking to John about SAT scores and how he did worse too. He didn't disclose his scores either, but claimed if he scored below 700 in math, that would've been very sad. That's what I thought too at that time... Jinx.
I'm pretty apathetic about it anyways. I figured it's not something I want to get depressed over since there're so many better things I can do so with. :shrug: I'm just happy SATs are over with, but college apps. are another story...


It's been another lazy Sunday with rain. I've been feeling tired all day as usual, procrastinated on homework, and napped a lot. I'm also really sore from dodgeball practice yesterday, partly because I haven't been exercising very much lately.
Poo.

Black Friday.

It's been a long day. It's been a long weekend. Where to begin? I woke up at 10 Thursday morning to prepare the food. I've been making Thanksgiving dinner for quite some years, but it's getting tedious. Fortunately, I only had to make the turkey and stuffing this year since we're serving around 40 people, and no way was I cooking dinner for 40 people. I dropped by Clif's house around 3 and stole some food. It was typical Thanksgiving dinner: Turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes with gravy, pumpkin, salad, beans, etc. (No love for stuffing though) Ironically, he just downloaded Harry Potter the day before. The quality was surprisingly good for a theater rip. (Now I really want my $8.75 back). I went home around 6 and carved the turkey. The rest of the night was just..blah. I stayed in my study but random kids keeps running in and out, screaming, laughing, and all those other annoying things kids do. I didn't even want to bother, so I just put up with them for about 5 hours.
I decided to stay up till 5 after some careful thinking and planning. I had everything mapped out: Stores,items,prices, times, etc. My first destination was Circuit City...the line scared me. I met up with some friends who were already in line and waited. The door opened at 5, and the frenzy began.
People rushing, grabbing, hogging, running..it was a war zone in there. Alhough I thought I had everything mapped out, I forgot an important factor: check-out lines. Getting cheap stuff is not as easy as grab, go, and be happy. I planned to be at staples at 6, which is when the door opens, but I wasn't going to make it in time. So, I called up Alex and asked him to reserve a scanner for me, since he was already there.
I got out around 6:10 and headed for staples. The first person I saw when I entered was Alex; he didn't look too happy. "I can't find the scanner." Incredulous, I went to look for it to find them sold out. I also find out that the usb hub was sold out: How nice, the only 2 things I really needed was sold out. Mistake #2: I forgot to factor in the fact that there is a supply-demand trend. I was pretty depressed at that point. I have lost. I didn't want to continue my shopping epic, but I did.
I headed home around 10 when I finished at the mall. Looking back at the day's result, I have failed. I saved $5 at Circuit City because the cashier scanned the wrong item, but I lost $5 at Office max because I bough the wrong thing. (Instead of 60 photo paper for $1.99, I bough the 20 paper package for $4.99)
In my defense, this is the first time I really bargain shopped by myself. Hopefully I can learn from my mistakes and redeem myself after christmas. Word.

I woke up at the usual 7:25 and rolled around in bed for awhile. After I got up and got ready, I debated on whether to wear more layers or not; I choose no... until I got to the stairs. I looked out the window and there it was, snow..lots of snow. I whined and ran back to my room for a coat. I was running later then usual at that point, and on top of the snow, it's not a good sign that I'll make it school on time.
8:01. I arrive at the school. Usually, there's no way in hell there would be any parking spots left, but, somehow, I had a feeling there was one, just one beckoning for my beautiful honda civics. I drove in and around... nothing. I was almost at the exit, and I felt crushed. Just as I was thinking about walking up the hill in the cold snow, there it was. I smiled and laughed at all the other cars that drove by; what can I say, my intuition wins. (I wasn't as lucky when I got back late for lunch, but that's beside the point of the story)

The rest of the day went pretty well. There was a percussion/symphony convo, but I didn't think it was as good as it could have been. At night, I went to see Harry Potter with Connie. It wasn't bad, but probably not worth $8.75. After the movie (9:20 ish) We drove to the Union to find it deserted: not a surprise. After some talk, we headed home.

So that's about the adventure for the day. I'm dreading tomorrow for various reasons, but,let's see how it really turns out.
