Tired III

Okay. So I've started babysitting/tutoring my mother's, friend's, middle son. It's one of the most tiring things I have ever done. So after waking up insanely early to catch my bus and enduring a whole day of school (forgetting my ramen nonetheless-god, was I pissed), I barely have time to change out of my disgusting clothes before I have to run to Staples and find out how much it is to buy a pack of 10 tab dividers, 5 tab dividers, a new binder, and a pack of pencils. Then I have to rush right back out to go and get my youngest brother from school (the other one had soccer practice) and then walking ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE EAST HALF OF TOWN to get to my students house where, surprise surprise, he was not. Misunderstandings, miscommunications, a few people got a little forgetful an hour here, two hours there, and BOOM! I lose three, perfectly good, homework hours running around town, annoying little brother in tow. Sigh. And on top of all of that, I'm still not done with my Biology Objectives due tomorrow at midnight, and our teams One Page Magazine project still hadn't been finalized, much less uploaded, and that was due TONIGHT!! Today has been a whirlwind of work, with me running around like a headless chicken trying to finish everything. Literally running around. My god. 

And yet, in the end, everything turned out alright anyway, which made it feel like all that worry and heartache was for NOTHING! Life is cruel! I feel so used. Well, we submitted the One Pg Mag, I got a high A on the last Software Apps Project, and finished everything else with enough time to blog about it. Praise me. Thank you.

Now I really should be tired. I should be exhausted to the bone. I should feel like collapsing on my bed and blacking out immediately from all the work I've done today.

Instead I feel completely exhilarated. If I could fly I think I'd climb to the top of the tallest building in the area (Empire State Building), and take off, letting the high up winds push me along as I wallowed in the glory of completion and accomplishment. Oh the joy one gets from finishing homework. 

Alright. I'm gonna go to bed now. Good night peeps. Can't wait for school tomorrow!!....maybe.

久しぶり!! (Hisashiburi!!)

The only reason that title is any funny is because I'm not Japanese. I'm Chinese. And Indian. Maybe it's just me. But I like Japanese. But I'm taking french.

Anyway, it's been ages since I've posted on here. So the second week of high school is ending and High Tech turned out to be pretty (really awesome and) great. It's not as intimidating as I made it out to be in my head, and there's still a lot I don't know, but I'm getting there. Maybe. I've made loads of new friends, but am still close with the old, and am not exactly close with any one person at the moment.

I don't think I've mentioned it but sometime in July I started working at a chinese restaurant! All I do is answer the phone and do take out, but it's a job nonetheless. I've gotten a tutoring job for a third grader, and have been taking the bus to school for the first time in nine years.

So far my favorite class at High Tech is definitely Software Apps, but english is fun too. Actually it's really fun, but software apps is new and new things always seem to be more exciting at first, until they get old. You know what? Forget it. I'm just making this more and more confusing.

There is so much more I want to say and I would keep going but my hands are getting tired and I really need to go work on my homework. Sigh. それ じゃ! また ね! (Sore ja! Mata ne!)
