Hmm... lets see.. whats been going on lately... LIFE MANAGEMENT SUCKS SO MUCH. My God, its so damn boring. The teacher is like all twitchy and crap. She seems all happy and such, but you know its a false cheery-ness and if you get her pissed off then you're in deep crap. We watched 2 videos yesterday, one about raising your self esteem and another about goal setting. What fun. The only interesting part of that class was when some kid leaned of a table with a sewing machine on it, and the table flipped and the sewing machine came crashing to the ground. The teacher literally cried for a few minutes about it, and then said something along the lines of "Don't any of you EVER touch my sewing machines. They're my babies." I know that sounds really mean of me to say that, but seriously, that class sucks major monkey ass-balls. And then I went to computer aided drafting. Jesus H, that class is boring. The teacher's so damn monotone and doesn't never seems too high on life. He said "Since I doubt any of you will ever use CAD in real life, I'm not going to bother to give you any homework, quizes, tests, etc. Just make sure you bring a pencil to class everyday so you can draw. BLAH. The class is really easy, but really boring. With the 2 hours we had on the lab day, we only did 3 really damn easy worksheets that even the most everything-illiterate person could do. I can't believe I'm acually getting compupter credit for it. lol. And those damned metal stools are all rusty and squeeky and sitting on them hurts my ass. Ahh, Wednesday lab day is my least favorite lab day. My only savior for that day is orchestra. Yay for orchestra!! Alrighty, today in Cumming's class I found out that I got a 92% on the final. HELL YEAH!! That means my overal grade is now an A. Congrats to Ann and Mimi for doing the same. Lunch was pretty crazy... as usual. Wes stuffed an empty juice bottle into my shirt, and me, in a crazed frenzy, fell backward into the planter and rolled around for a few seconds. When I got up these Asian girls sitting on the other side of the planter were staring at me. Then Wes Kept trying to stick things down people's shirts, one of which included a sandwhich. He got it into Calo's shirt, and Calo didn't know who did it, so he threw it at someone who he thought did it. Then a little food fight sorta errupted until a teacher walked over. He didn't say anything though. Some other stuff happened, but its too much to say. During 6th period PE I got a 2 on the swimming test. Much better than what I thought I'd get, considering I was worried I would be kicking in the water but not actually moving anywhere... And that sums it up for now, folks. I'm selling my airsoft gun; look in my info for details. And just for the hell of it, I'm going to say who I'm talking to online right now as I type this: Kevin, Ann, Chris, and Niema. Until next time, Michael Sun, out.

Happy Chinese New Year, my fellow Chinese-glish-sians. Its finals week, which means the semester is basically over, which means new classes. On my new schedule it says I have Life Management first period. What the hell is life management, you may be asking. Well, I asked that too, and this is what a few people told me: one of the assignments is they give you an electronic baby that cries at random times. The only way to turn it off is to stick a key into it. It has a computer in it that monitors how well I've been treating it, and based on on that my teacher gives me a grade. Someone else told me that I learn how to be a housewife. Hmm. Like the sounds of that? I certainly don't. So I'm gonna change my schedule to get art or something. I don't remember ever signing up for Life Managment for a primary or back up electives so I don't know what the hell happened. Also with finals comes half days. My parents don't to take time out of their schedules to drive me home, so they told me to take the public bus. Thats how I got home yesterday and today. I probably got an STD from sitting on the bus or something. I'm lucky I didn't get raped.

Airsofting yesterday wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. We did it in this forest area near Westview which had a small stream running through it. Except the stream came from a sewage treatment plant and was all eww. It was the first time I've airsofted there, but it was pretty cool. It was such a serene tranquil place... right up until we started shooting each other. Haha. Actually, there were paintballs and trash threwn all over the ground from other people, and bunkers were made out of boards of wood, road signs, tires, etc. And like I already said, the stream probably had AIDs in it or something. So it was like semi serene and semi dumpish at the same time. We shot like thousands of rounds into the stream cause the sprays up water shooting up from the hits looked really cool. Perfect area to film an amature war movie, I guess. Damn, the first game we played sucked so much. I was hiding behind this bush waiting to ambush Nick and Andrew who were walking closer. When they get within like 20 feet, I pop up and go full auto on Nick, who at once dives to the ground for cover, which there wasn't any. So he was basically in the middle of the road with no cover whatsoever. And at that exact moment when I pull the trigger, my magazine goes "WHIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRR" which means it out of ammo. Damn... >.<. What a perfect time to run out of BB's. Having just blown my position without any ammo 20 feet away from the enemy, I just call myself out. Afterwards everyone was telling Nick how lucky he was. Pssh. We played from 7 AM to about 5 PM. I was only on the winning team twice, and the whole day I only got one person out. I've had better days. Today I went to Chinese school as usual, and I got a frappuccino after school... as usual. Next week is our school's Chinese New Year schedule, and my teacher is forcing us to be staff there. She's gonna give us community service hours for it though, so its cool. Then the week after next week I'm gonna go to the Chinese New Year festival at my old Chinese school, the one that Ambrose, Jonathan, Mimi, and Karen go to. Yeah.

I got a 94% on my Chinese final. Go me. After Chinese school yesterday I walked to Starbucks, got a vanilla latte, and then walked to to the movie theater to wait for Ann, Carly, Robby, Charlotte, Andy, and some other people. I sat by the fountain doing Chinese homework until they arrived. Today at school Mimi said she saw me sitting there while she was walking into Oscar's. Damn, Lord of the Rings 3 is a long movie. We started at 6 PM, and at 9 PM it was still going and I was thinking to myself "I could've gotten a lot done if I were at home..." But it was still a good movie. If the producers could somehow find a way to shorten the length while keeping the juicy parts, then I'd think it'd be better. Everyone in that movie has long flowing Jesus hair. Megan would've liked that. And everytime I saw that one elf guy that also plays Agent Smith in the Matrix, I'd mutter under my breath "Mrrrrrrrr. Anddeerrssooon...." Yeah. After the movie I really needed to go pee, and when I did, the whole bathroom filled with the aroma of coffee. Yum, but eww at the same time.

Well folks, it finally happened. After a whole semester, we finally got in trouble during lunch. And its not like we were being any crazier than usual. lol. Some people were playing "pass the Mikey" like they do like everyday, and a teacher comes over and tells us to "chill out" and to stop running around with Mikey in our arms. Then she leaves, but comes back 15 seconds later when we start giving each other piggy back rides. And for the rest of the lunch period, she just stands there next to us. lol. And isn't it strange... every day we leave that area, and its a complete landfill. Its a mess. And today, a trashcan MAGICALLY appeared right where we sit... wow. Didn't help though, we still left the place a mess. Alright, I finally met Sioban and like 4 other Australian kids and I must say, they aren't as quiet as everyone says they are. Then after school I had pizza for dinner, and went to the Poway Performing Arts Center for our orchestra concert. It was pretty damn good. For those of you that didn't go, go to hell. Nah, don't go to hell, I love you guys too much.... Yeah. The guy who nararrated the whole thing had a really cool voice.... like wow. The orchestra had decided to go to TGI Fridays after the concert, but I couldn't make it. :-/

Yesterday in orchestra Mr. Torns called on me to play a part in front of the class. I stalled for like 5 minutes, and eventually he just let me off easily. Haha. And today I finally got my $200 assesment in, BOOYAH!! Its been how many months since that has been due...? We took a geo test in Cumming's class, which I think I did pretty well on. In journalism we're making a newspaper in groups of 4. Lunch was crazy today, crazier than usual. Can that be possible? Yes!! Along with the usual crap that happened, this is what stood out: apparently Ambrose kicked Garrison in the balls, so Garrison tackles Ambrose, who's can of soda falls out of his hand while Garrison is attacking. The can still had quite a lot of soda in it, so it was all wasted. The can rolled over to Caitlin, who had some girl friends around her. Caitlin stomped on the can while it still had a bit of soda inside, so it exploded and everyone near got soda on them. Because of that, people start verbally fighting with Caitlin, and someone pours water on her from a water bottle. Then Jimmy is throwing water at people. Isn't it ironic how we all sit right outside the discipline office for our hangout during lunch, yet even after months no one seems to notice that crap that goes on. Not sure if I should have posted this...

I re-did like my whole room on Friday. It's looking pretty spiffyerish right now. Almost all that day was dedicated to cleaning the house. Fun. With what time not spent cleaning, I was producing quality, handmade duct tape wallets. Yeeaahaaahh!! Remember when duct tape and duct tape wallets in general were a fad last year in 8th grade. Ahh. I figured I had a few hours to waste, so I walked down to Longs Drugs and bought myself an exacto knife. Then headed over to Home Depot to get some fancy schmancy, kinda expensive duct tape. Went back to Albertson's to get some milk, and then to Starbucks. It was a cold, windy day so I was thinking about getting something to drink other than my usual frappaccino, maybe like latte, something hot. But I ended up getting a mocha frapp anyway. Haha. For the next three hours, I was holed up in my room designing and making a wallet. lol. Its so ghetto-ly cool... ask me to show it to you in school. lol. Today my family drove downtown, and I saw the Star of India and that other ship from the movie Master and Commander: the Far Side of the Sea or whatever it's called. Its spurred some giddyness out of me because it reminded me of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean and PIRATES ARE REALLY DAMN COOL!! It also brought back memories from the 5th grade overnight trip to the Star of India. Then I went to Horton Plaza, walked around, and got another mocha frappuccino. Any day with a frappuccino is a good day :). Then went to Walmart, Fry's Electronic's, and the 99 Ranch Supermarket. Good times, good times.

Hope everyone had a fun and safe new year. I haven't done much in the past few days but stayed home and watch movies. My family has somehow suddenly aquired a crapload of new DVD's, not including the one's we got for Christmas. Among them are Enemy at the Gates, Lord of the Rings 2, Matrix: Reloaded, The Accidental Spy (old Jackie Chan movie), Tomb Raider 2, and a lot of others that I can't remember right now. I'll probably spend my most if not all of my weekend with those movies. Haha. That reminds me, sorry I can't go to your birthday party, Chris. "Family time" is priority, my parents say. Pssh. They also used the fact that last week I went to 3 parties in a row in 3 nights against me. Heh. Well today my family wanted to go to Rincon Casino or however its spelled to take a gander at it. I didn't think it'd be so bad because most of the other casino's I've been to, like Viejas or the ones in Las Vegas, have entertainment to cater to the non-gambling public. Rincon, however, is nothing but a slot machine wasteland -_-. Nothing that anyone under 21 could do there for fun. So basically we drove more than an hour through twisted mountain roads, making us feel sick on the way, to a casino, just to come back 30 minutes later after realizing that that place sucked. While driving we pasted Mr. Paintball paintball field. First time I've seen it, and I must say ITS THE CRAPPIEST PAINTBALL FIELD THAT IVE EVER SEEN... AAARRRRGGHH!!. Its so damn small and secluded... who would ever want to go there instead of Velocity paintball field, which is closer to home and you don't have to worry about falling off a cliff while driving there? I'm sure being almost in the dead center of that Valley Center fire thing a couple months ago doesn't do too well for it either. On the way back home we went to North County Fair, and got food. Hell yes, 4 dollar smoothies that contain like 3 pound of sugar!! Make's the smoothies at school for $3.25 seem almost like a good deal. I went into Leather Town hoping to buy a wallet, but in the end didn't. Haha, Leather Town... that place is so awesome. Isn't that where Garrison said he got his infamous leather jacket? Oh well, for now let's not dwell on that. I've been rambling for too long. Bye.
