Key Club - Upcoming Event
To the people who know what Key Club is, I'm proud to say that I'm a member of that group.
In February, the CHSKC (Cleveland High School Key Club) is actually planning a little mixed show. We're hosting a fundraiser and we're basically playing the newlywed game with couples at the school and throwing in a fashion show with it.
For people who don't know what the newlywed game is, it's basically a show where a husband and a wife, just newly married, compete against other newlyweds to win a prize. The games are various gameshow sort of things like, "What is your wife/husband's favorite..." or "What would your wife/husband do if..." Things like that. Our club will emulate that sort of style and hopefully we'll simulate the popularity of it. I really hope we get a lot of ticket admissions, because we're raising up for our district convention and to get Key Club sweatshirts :].
I'd love any suggestions you may give.

Psychology
I'm utterly disappointed at myself. Today I received news from my psychology teacher that I have a 3.9 as my final grade. I'm sorry if that does come out somewhat ridiculous, because 3.9 is a good grade, however I've never gotten that my entire life. It just ruins my 4.0, T.T. However, I will have to live with it.
I think the worst part however, was that it was a 3.8 before and my participation in class gave me brownie points with my teacher so he bumped it up to a 3.9. There were about 8 tests or so. I got 2 B's... I'm sad.
*Sigh*
I'm future-oriented now however, because I can't change the past, so now I need to find out how that will translate into my high school grade. It's kind of confusing because I'm getting college credit for the class, but I'm also getting high school credit for it. Plus, high schools determine GPAs by saying that 90%+ is a 4.0, so now I have no idea. I'm just crossing my fingers right now...

Bipolar Weather
So in psychology yesterday, we learned about bipolar depression. Today I learned first hand about bipolar weather. What a coincidence!
As Seattlelites will know, the weather today was extremely odd.
At around 4am there was a little drizzling not too bad.
At around 6am there wasn't a single drop of rain; it was merely cloudy.
Right after 7am, the clouds just carpet bombed the city with raindrops. It was horrible. You could barely see through the front windows of the car with the wind shield wipers going on full. I have to say it was the worst rain I've seen in a long time.
*Apparently, there was lightning at around 8am, but I wasn't witness to it. (Crazy stuff)
Then, after I got out of history class, at 9:30am or so, it was sunny. Yeah, sunny. Of course that didn't last long however. In a matter of hours, it was back to cloudy again, but you get my point.
Bipolar weather.
Weird stuff.

Frisbee Banquet & Christmas Ship
Today, I got word that there's going to be a frisbee banquet. Awesome.
On the other hand, I hear it's going to be an Asian food buffet...great. The food I already have everyday dished out in buffet format. Oh well, I can't complain, it's only $5 for it and food is food.
In the fall I was on the varsity frisbee team and now I think it's great that we get to celebrate the end of the season. I feel somewhat guilty that I had to miss out on a lot of the games because I had other conflicting events; however, I think I'll get over it once I'm there.
As to the second part of this title. Right after the frisbee banquet, the tennis team is planning to go watch the Christmas Ship. It's a ship lighted up with Christmas lights that sails around the bodies of water around our area and has choirs on the boat which sing over loudspeakers which project quite a distance. I went last year and I have to say it was pretty enjoyable. It's just a nice time to wind down the last days of school for the year and to hang out with my tennis team family. This year, there's going to be a lot more people. I'm sort of hoping such a large crowd won't ruin the serenity and comfort of the trip, but I'll see how it goes.
Christmas/My Birthday is almost here :]

A "Funny" Mistake
So as the title states, I ran into a funny little mishap a couple of days ago. In my history class, *no names, but a lot of people know the teacher and how the class is already*, my teacher was handing back graded papers. At first all was innocent because it was just a routing thing. Student A writes paper, teacher A grades paper, student A gets back paper. What happened however, was that Student A (me) didn't get back his paper immediately. In fact, he got student B's paper instead. The "funny" part was that I got someone else's paper with An in the Name line. In the beginning however, I thought it was mine.
Like a typical student, I looked straight towards the grade but before I reached it, I ran across these foreign words. I told myself, "What the... was I doing this at 3am in the morning or was I just out of it?" After asking that of course, I looked at the Name line of the paper and saw that it was actually another person in my class. Coincidentally it was a girl.
To those who read my essay, you know that it was about the quirks of having my name. One of the reasons behind the strangeness of my name was that it's a girl name in English, and here's just more proof of that all too common blunder of thinking that way... though not exactly. It was more like my teacher didn't see the rest of the line. The rest of it read a totally different name from mine. Coincidentally though, it was actually a Vietnamese name belonging to one of the girls in my class.
In the end I laughed and knew it was an honest mistake, but there's so many more ways I could connect this moment to my third essay that it's scary.

Ice Skating
So a couple days ago, the tennis team put forth an idea to go ice skating. (Hurray!!!) We had actually gone last year, and now we just confirmed that we're going to be going on December 17th, five days before my birthday :].
I remember last year. I can only describe it as an epic fail. I remember I was able to skate okay because I knew how to inline skate, but it was just horrible trying to break. I always had to hit the sides of the rink to stop, or try some weird curving technique with my skates. *Sigh.*
Surprisingly, however, despite not knowing any techniques or moves, it was still incredibly fun just going in circles, one after another after another. I don't know what part of me loves it so much, and why other people love it so much too. I suppose it's just a refreshing new experience that won't lose its novelty anytime soon.
Back to the present, the tennis team is actually going up to Bellevue to ice skate. Hopefully this year, I can actually try to do something even quasi-impressive. I've actually been trying to master the crossover and the backwards skate, so we'll see.
Maybe hope to see someone I know there? :].
Have a happy holiday to you, reader.
