yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Hi!

I'm all done with the first term of Physiology, Stats, and AP Literature, and Creative Writing is gone, never to be heard from again, bwahaha!

Mr. Morgan (the agent kellerman look-alike) played this cute joke on my class that tickled me pink.  He put up a PPT that said, "Physiology Final Exam Essay" after telling us for weeks that we'd only have a Multiple Choice final and a Slide final, and eeeveryone was complaining, and got out paper, and wrote our headings, and Mr. Morgan said, "Okay, get started!" and went to the next slide, and it said "JUST KIDDING, GOOD JOB THIS TERM" and I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL'd.  I THOT IT WAS FUNNY OK  >_>. 

Then there was a slide of a fully dissected cat, skinned with its intestines hanging out and its eyes half-open and a speech bubble saying, "See you next term!" then there was a slide of a cat fetus in a palm saying, "Me too!!!!"  I laughed at how TERRIBLE that was.  >__>.  omg.  I think if I look at a lot of pictures of cat dissection, then I'll have an easier time coping with my eventual need to dissect good ol' Fluffy in Physiology next term.  .... D:

For personal memory: GOT A 6 ON ENGLISH PRESENTATION, SCORE!  My group got a 4 on the PPT (dammit i'm the one that made the ppt) but I redeemed myself by memorizing all my citations to push us into a 6 on the delivery.  >_>.  Along with Rachel and Phuc's awesome kick-booty talking skills too, of course!  PROOF DRAMA KIDS ROCK, ANYONE?

Sidenote: In middle school, I thought drama kids were hella lame, based on what I knew about them from television.  Then I was accidentally put into Theater 1 in freshman year.  And never left.
>_____________________________>

So, I came home after a cool date with Phuc at the Golden Corral and checked my e-mail, totally forgetting about the existence of my QuestBridge scholarship entry in the midst of finals.  So I open my e-mail account and go, "o holy shit that's rite it's oct 24 the results come in today" and open my email from QuestBridge and read:

Then I flip out and go "AAAAAAAAAA"

So at this point, I'm raving, "HOMG BITCHIN'" (i get potty mouth when i'm excited, this is the first scholarship i've ever been a finalist for, excluding poetry.com but we all know that place is a big rip-off) and telling my boyfriend and my sister and my parents the good news that I'm a finalist. My boyfriend said, "Good job I'm proud of you honey," my mom kissed me on the forehead and said "yay," and my sister said "holy shit, NYU or bust!"  LOL.

This means that my application fee for all of QuestBridge's partner colleges is waived.    Then I go down more in the e-mail and read:

And I totally go "DAMMIT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I STILL HAVE TO DO STUFF?!  THAT APPLICATION ALREADY TOOK FOREVER WTH!!  *&!$$%@"

I quite honestly didn't expect to become a finalist, so JUST LIKE ON THE APPLICATION, I've neglected getting a head start on the college-specific forms, ranting, "aa i'll just do it when i get the resuuuuuuuults"  And now I'm a finalist and now it's due in about a week.  >_>.  If nothing else, I want to submit my Stanford application, and hopefully my Caltech application.

Dude I totally need to sleep so I can wake up early for Key Club Fall Rally tomorrow!  omg leaving home at 6:15 a.m. is ungodly

you're an accident waiting to happen

Bye for now!

until my three-year anniversary with Phuc!  8D

So, for the last few years, I've lived a five-minute walk away from The Squeeze Inn, a quaint little burger joint across the street from my neighborhood.  My parents and I always pass by it when we drive home from just about anywhere, and I never got around to looking up the place on the internet until about two months ago.  And I learned that this whole time, I've been living across the street from the KCRA3 A-List winner of best burger in Sacramento!  homgggg

I finally went there this morning, walking there with my mom.  I laughed when she started BOOKIN' IT when, for once, there wasn't a line streaming into the parking lot.

It was such a momentous event that I took pictures of my "Squeeze w/ Cheese" burger before eating it.

omfg @ the cheese skirt

It was really good, and I'm still full at 6 p.m. after eating it at noon (i swear to god i can't eat for like, days if i wanna get my moneys worth at a buffet), although I must admit that, being the winner of "Best Burger in Sacramento" according to the TV (and i love TV), I expected it to make me literally explode in "OOOMGGGGG MARRY ME, BURGER" the moment that it touched my tongue.  In that sense, it fell short of my expectations, but it was still really good.  :3  yay

Omg, I'm so excited for Key Club Fall Rally that I can hardly contain it!  Fall Rally is three days before our three-year anniversary (homg three days before, three years, get it?!) so we're considering it to be part of the anniversary festivities.  xD  During the brief two-hour drive, Phuc can see all the sights that I see whenever I go to San Jose, and I can show him all the parts of San Jose that we pass by that I go to, like like Our Lady of Peace church and Mission College and y'know.. stuff like that!

Phuc is totally expecting me, and I'm honestly expecting me, to ride a couple of roller coasters at Great America.  even though i totally have rollercoasterphobia.  >_>.  Lol, partially because I told him to ride the scary rides without me when we went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for the Friday Night Live rally, and totally got mad at him for not spending enough time with me on our one year and a half anniversary even though I demanded him to ride the rides he wanted (damn girls are so complicated, that's why i'm not a lesbian).  So I want him to ride the thrill rides that he likes, but I don't want us to be apart.  So I have to ride roller coasters!  D:  *fear*

dude i totally just realized as i was writing this that we went to a theme park on our 1½ year anniversary, and now on our 3 year anniversary!  PATTERN, ANYONE?

LOL, SAN JOSE FRIENDS, GO TO GREAT AMERICA FROM 9AM-6PM NEXT SATURDAY AND
WE CHILL.  hoo cares that it's like $55 for a ticket, we can liek hang
for realz doggy dogs.

lolk

Today's South Park episode: I totally dig the new "Breast Cancer Show Ever" episode.  Cartman is hilariously pathetic!

every second that goes by is a second of my life that could've been with you

Bye for now!

Coca-Cola, why are you so crazy insane?

Well, I've totally started to knit avidly again, and I'm pretty psyched out because I'm finally getting used to purling enough to use it in patterns, like I'm making my first patterened scarf now.  I'm still painfully scarf limited, but now I can make pretty patterned ones.  xD  I made a scarf with tassels the other day, so it was my first time adding some fringe.  :3  As I was knitting, I was suddenly thinking that I should totally start a knitting club.  That'd be badass.  Except I'm not pro enough at knitting to lead it.  XD

I also bought my senior shirt after Emo Christa's mom didn't want to buy her a shirt, but my mom ended up doing so after her computer broke and I fixed it.  >_>  lul yey

i totally have nothing interesting to talk about that i can think of

totally

bye

Although I don't enjoy how Butters has been angrily out of character recently.  Perhaps he was traumatized from Imaginationland, but I was just pretty disappointed at the direction they went with him in Super Fun Time, especially since he's my favorite SP character, hands down.  I don't like seeing him so uber angry and aggressive all the time.  Although when I went to abuse Google, no one seemed to feel the same way about him!  D:  does anyone else feel my butters sorrows

though i totally enjoyed him in a squirrel outfit

As much as I love him, I could sincerely believe it if Butters is the mystery character that's raped in the mid-season premiere. >_>.  I mean, he lives such an awfully traumatic life already, killing 8 people by tap dance and abusive bi-curious father and September 11 birthday.  aaa ilu butters

I was trying to watch the "More Crap" episode of South Park again , and was absolutely horrified at how the humor went over my head and I was actually offended, once again, in the deep pits of my stomach at the sight of Bono helplessly sucking man-nipple (lol out of context that's like "what the hell."  actually it's pretty "what the hell" in context, too).  I absolutely love Bono and U2 to death and actually spread awareness on ending Africa in AIDS in middle school, so I was actually a little bummed that I couldn't appreciate the SP joke in its entirety.  "gawsh, i wish i liked bono less"

And if someone is ridiculously internet-handy, a cute Butters myspace layout is actually on my Christmas/birthday list.  xD  I've been compiling a list of presents in sympathy of Phuc, who has to face our three-year anniversary, Christmas, my birthday, and Valentine's Day over the next few months.  Good luck, honey!

So, I started my ELC application for UC Davis, and I'm not sure how to clarify that UC Davis is my ELC first choice for hopeful guarantee admission.  But I was on like, step 2 of the UC application and was just toootally out of it ever since my CSU free waiver application was denied.  *died a little*  omg 55 dolla an app.  I suppose they just have really high standards for poor.  >.>

Omg, I want a job.  mebbe i go pursue weekend employment, since my parents dun let me work during school year D:

what about taking this empty cup and filling it up with a little bit more of innocence

Bye for now!

edit LOL ONE DAY EXTENSION?

" Due to the slow application response time caused by the heavy traffic on our servers, we will be extending the application deadline by 24 hours, until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, October 1. This extension also applies to teacher recommendations, secondary school reports, transcripts and test score reports."

BITCHIN

BTW, they received my fax at 11:40 pm, and I FREAKED THE FUDGE OUT OF THIS WORLD until Phuc told me there's a one day extention.  LMAO.

/edit

It's probably a mingling of my fault for not properly looking up that transcript faxes have a 48-hour processing time and pestering Ms. Tran more than I did, and Ms. Tran's fault (as wonderful as she is) for not faxing my transcripts until school hours today, but this afternoon when I hit the "Submit Application" button for my QuestBridge scholarship application, it told me that they still needed to receive my transcripts before I could submit!  D:  UH OHHH.  Because Ms. Tran told me she'd be faxing during school hours today, it didn't take rocket science to realize that I would miss the scholarship deadline.  Unless their working hours are until 12 a.m. at night and all of the stars of the universe align, I don't think this'll fly.  >__>.  SO UH OHHH.

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?

LIFE TOTALLY BITCHSLAPPED ME LOL

Fortunately (i suppose, because the last time i was really stressed out, i broke out in boils, but that's a different story) I'm not as stressed as I probably COULD be, because as Stanford is a pretty long shot for me and Cal Tech is a "hmmmmmmm yea ok wow i never even considered that school before but if it's on the scholarship list then damn okay" college choice, and they were the only two schools partnered with QuestBridge that I was interested in, and both schools don't allow you to use the QuestBridge application in lieu of their own college application, and because I was up against Jessica Chen and Nancy Luo and they're smart like WHOAAAAAAAAA, it doesn't feel like a big loss that I'll be missing the deadline.  In light of the loss of possible hearty scholarship rewards, I have to tell myself, ironically positively, "Don't worry Christa, if you applied you would have lost anyway."  I'm mostly bummed because Mz's Sarmiento, Poe, and Tran worked pretty hard on my recommendation forms and now I'll have to break the news to them that I didn't make the deadline. >_>. I'll have to apply for a lot more scholarships to compensate for "What Could've Been" with QuestBridge.  But if nothing else, I got three essays out of applying for QuestBridge
that I can use for future scholarship and college applications.  but blehhhhhh

On a positive note...
um
I ATE NOODLES TODAY
8D

OH YEAH AND HOMECOMING WAS FUN.  I dressed up everyday of Spirit Week and went to the dance on Saturday with Phuc, where we danced the night away.  Y'know, in middle school, I attended almost EVERY dance that Ocala held, and never danced at a single one except for (lmao) a slow dance with Genn at the Last Dance of middle school.  Now that I'm dating someone that actually likes dancing and makes me dance at these events, I must admit that I've gotten better over the last three years of being forced to shake my booty.  lmao
COOL BEANS

we could've been so beautiful, we could've been so right

Bye for now!
