That is me....
Picture from here

Hello! So this blog post will be very short and sweet because I can't waste any time if I am to perform a miracle tonight. So, being my procrastinating self ( I swear. I am trying to improve; it is one of my new year resolution!) I didn't finish my Biology Internal Assessment nor my Chemistry Internal Assessment nor did me, B, and S finish our TOK presentation. This is all due tomorrow and we are presenting on Tuesday....I am doomed. First, I didn't even start Chemistry yet and I still need to make notecards and make sure my slides for my part of the presentation, perception, is correct and will get me a good grade. UGHHH! These are the nights were I am like OMG why, but it is partly my fault and I will be celebrating when I do finish(: Well wish me luck...because I am going to up all night and it will be a miracle if I actually get to sleep early.

***UPDATE: So, I did end up finishing both IA's at 3.00 am and presented my TOK presentation on Tuesday. It was scary going first but we did fine and talked really fast. (:

Diary: College Applications...'Nuff Said

picture from this website: redbubble.com

I don't have any photos sadly to post so I guess this will just be a diary entry...also I didn't post Sunday's diary entry because I did absolutely nothing....at all.

So this morning, I set my alarm for 4.10am so I could wake up and study for my chemistry and history and then do my Mandarin reading reflection. However, even though I woke up at 4.10am, my body would not get up so I went back to sleep until 5.45am which then I rushed to get ready and didn't have time to study so I just did my reading reflection.

All we did in Mandarin IV was give our presentation on education which was a bore and gave me time to study chemistry and history.

Biology, I found out from B and S that we had an oral chapter 17 and 18 vocabulary quiz if we had time after our lecture and I thought that was on Wednesday after the test, so I freaked out for like the most part, but we didn't have one.

Lunch, Z left because on the weekend she absolutely had no time to do anything including studying for the two tests so she left and J was P.O that she skipped, but really everyone would do the same thing if her situation was put on them. Our school announced that we were able to sign up for homecoming court and really in my school homecoming court is taken as a joke and no one really does it because we don't have a homecoming dance and its only for the Powerpuff Game that is taking place like next week. B and I decided we wanted to nominate S for Homecoming King and we got the form and he was soooooo P.O which was funny because we weren't going to do it because I mean come on who wants to write an essay.... not me.

Chemistry kinetics test was okay like I had no idea how to solve for the rate constant like I plugged it into the rate expression but I couldn't get k by itself and with time running out....I made some stuff up :P But my teacher, Mrs. P didn't distinguish which is HL and which is SL so we had to do all and I didn't really study the HL material so I just bs'd my way through.

History was actually not that bad except it was freezing in the classroom. Seriously my hands turned into icicles. I felt confident but some parts I really didn't go into much detail as he wanted too so I'm not sure.

My mom, sister and I went to watched the premiere of Once Upon A Time, but my sister tivo'd the recap special and not the premiere so we ended up watching the recap which is so good because it really sums up what is happening and got my sister and mom into the show. We all ended up watching the premiere on the computer via hulu.com. The premiere was absolutely wonderful! So excited to see what happens! Did any of you guys watched the premiere?

So I finally sat down to work on my college applications....Ohmygawd....it was hell (excuse my language). Luckily, I had my friend D who completed it because I had so many questions because I wanted to make sure I had everything perfect. It is not difficult but tedious. My brain at one point wanted to explode and so I turned to my savior....coffee and cookies. I finally at 9.35 pm finished my first application, sent my transcript, and paid my application fee. Lets hope everything goes well. I still have 5 more application to finish...yay me....Now I have finish my homework (Hamlet...and Biology....oh geez) and study the ACT ( I don't I have time). So I'm going to go cry in a corner now, just kidding!

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.
