Photo Diary + Diary: Friday Night Lights

I know today is Sunday, but I didn't have time to put them up so you are going to get both Friday's and Saturday's Photo Diary + Diary! Two for One (:

Today was one of the most hectic yet the most fun night ever! So I drove today because my dad decided to take the day off. So I got to drive my future car to school! I had to get there early because I had a Math SL test on descriptive statistics and had to pick up my IB invoice from Mr. L. I wore my pink Old Navy sheep like jacket with my PINK cropped pink/drk gray top and my AERO dark jeggings that are at the last leg of wear and my destroyed flat suede black scrunchy boots. I looked like a sheep which for Halloween my friends and I are going as obese sheeps (inside joke).

I didn't have time to go to my locker since there was already a long line to pick up our invoices and I was running into math class with my lunchbox, B day backpack and huge GUESS purse. My hugest concern with the math test was 1) I wouldn't be able to figure the problem out and 2) (the problem I always run into) I wouldn't be able to finish on time. However, this test was actually not that bad, I finished with 2 minutes to spare and had time to review and look over.

Band was same old same old, but English was the day of socratic circle....on Hamlet....So since on Thursday I absolutely did nothing I had no notes on Hamlet and I was discussing the soliloquy of "To Be or Not To Be" and that actually went okay. One guy, A, kept on arguing and everyone was kinda getting fed up with him and another girl next to me, V, said the most ridiculous thing ever that made people stop and stare at her with her it was saying that the 1st option of Denmark is like a circle and within a prison and they were all going to die unless they were out of the circle....wtf? But I realized that my jacket sleeves made my arms look like llamas, and I thought if I was a dude wearing this jacket I could go to a girl and be like "check out my llamas"....loll.

TOK was such a blow off because.....we had a sub! Mrs G. who was the coolest sub with the coolest glasses that were circular and hot pink! We wanted her to be our teacher instead of our current TOK teacher. We ended having the last hour to do homework which we just talked.

I came home and caught up on my tivo'd stuff, which was Project Runway (omg the babies were hilarious!), Modern Family (it was an okay premiere, not as funny as some of their other episodes), and the new show Elementary (really cool and I kinda want to watch the original BBC one now). Then I lost track of time and had to quickly get ready to meet D and my friend from my home high school, M, to go to the homecoming game for our home high school.

So I didn't have an gear from my homeschool, so I went with the colors, blue and black. So I wore my v-neck royal blue t-shirt with my AE light wash distressed jeans with my Hollister thick braided leather buckle belt, AE suede brown clog slippers and my Northface white fuzzy jacket. I regret wearing the distressed jeans because it was freezing towards the end of the game. Let me tell you that I am an intense person when it comes to sport... I mean I get very into it. Also, it was my first ever live football game and it was so exciting because I got to see people that I went to Elementary and Middle School with play! The Eagles shut out the Panthers who didn't have that people come support them by 53-0! It was really really good! (:

Until next time.

Photo Diary + Diary: I thought today was Friday


I seriously thought today was Friday. Because we had no school on Tuesday, I am seriously messed up on my days and forgot we had school tomorrow.

Today was going to my lazy day because I didn't feel like doing anything, so I decided to try the sock bun that I failed so many times before because of the layers of my haircut. However, I finally got it to work! Was so so so so happpy :) I used an old sock I had (as you can see it has school buses on it). My layers did come out but I just used bobby pins and hairspray to keep it in place. Then, I decided to wear my new H&M oversize cardigan and BAM comfy cozy chic and I have gotten so many complements on my hair and plus it makes me look like I have a ton of hair :)

The local tv station came to our school to interview and showcase our school today and it was very cool being they told us this while we were having a college presentation for the college

Oh so much homework, this week or next few days! I at first had 3 test and a presentation on Monday which were Biology, Chemistry and 20th Century History and a Chinese presentation  My worst nightmare came true at first, Biology and Chemistry on the same day, and that would mean all our Biology would be due and it is a lot (an example of the specific notes we had to do above). Then today our teacher spoke these beautiful words, "Your ch 16.17.18 test is going to be moved to Wednesday." OMG joy!!!! Happiness !!! That means I can study for the dreaded Kinetics test in Chemistry. I dropped recently to SL Chemistry because I can't handle HL and I was afraid of failing the IB exam. 

I have a Statistics test tomorrow for SL Math, which I took a Statistics class in 10th grade as an AP class and now I'm cracking out the AP books and now not even the AP books, but the ACT books. Yes, if you look closely you can see that I have an ACT admissions ticket... I am taking the ACT yet again. Because I gotten a 29 on the ACT and after hearing all colleges talking about scholarships and honors college starts at a 30 so I need to get that 30 or higher. So this would be my...(embarrassment) 10th time taking it...yes I said 10th. I started taking it in 2009 so like 8th-9th graders. Yes, I was that young... what was my parents thinking.

Hamlet....tomorrow for English class we have the dreaded socratic circle. If you haven't participate in a socratic circle before it is basically a small group of people inside a circle discussing while everyone else sits outside and "listens". I say "listen" because truthfully no one listens. I don't like socratic circles because I hate being under pressure to talk... I get nervous and start blabbing. I especially hate dominators in the groups because then I don't have time to talk and get the A. So, I usually try to get group of people that don't talk, but tomorrow's group has a few dominator so we need to battle it out.

Well I was bored on Wednesday in English class and me and my friend B were talking about the Renaissance festival with my table mates and B brought up her favorite part... the pickle selling man because he sells the pickles funnyingly (not a real word). So I drew pickles in all my table mates Hamlet books on page 157. I got the girl pickle, B got the boy pickle, K got the french pickle (she's taking french, and her pickle is my favorite), D got the sleeping pickle (bc she always sleeps in class. B claims it looks like a puddle), S got a musical pickle (she is taking IB music), and other K got the shopping pickle (she is very upper class like and is very fashionable). So I am the odd chicken out again for our table for groups which I am happy because I don't want to duke it out with my friends.

So the parents are away for our school's Open House and while "studying" meaning attempted study or do anything which I didn't do anything due to the lack of concentration and my stomach growling "feed me", I made myself a toaster strudel. OMG they are heaven and I <3 the frosting to the nth degree. Eating breakfast as a midnight snack is always yummy. My sister nibbled on my strudel because she is trying to keep the weight down for Homecoming...stay strong baby sister. But we ended up....

Making a whole meal. At least it was healthy, it was avocados, scrambled egg whites, sliced Asian pears, and green tea.  I was in charge of eggs, which I messed the pan up because I added more egg whites than I did vegetable oil making the egg soak up all the oil and causing the pan to be stuck to the eggs. The oil is limiting reagent while the eggs were the excessive (chemistry is seriously starting to get to me).


Preview of tomorrow: Homecoming football game, college applications, ACT and driving (yeah buddy!)


Until next time.
