A bit relieved...
Three more mid terms to go! I am so glad that I finished my english midterm today even though I may not have done well. I'm just so glad. It would have been better if I can finish my spanish midterm today though, except for the date for it was moved. I was hoping to not have to touch spanish for the rest of the week. To my utter surprise, expository writing grammar became easier this year. I remembered last year when I didn't get a thing, gosh that was painful. This year, I was actually able to get something and understand some concepts of grammar which is great!

Pressure...and yet another restless weekend
Midterm week is tomorrow and I have two midterms tomorrow. The pressure is full on. I mean, there are way too many subjects to cover for just one day and I found that a bit unbearable. I'm sure any others out there who also has two mid terms will agree with me. Anyhow, it has been a busy weekend and I barely got the rest I hoped to achieve. English became a headache and up until this point, I still haven't finished studying. There are just way too many things to study for and it is just so hard. I hope this week can fly past so I can finally get some rest that I deserved.

yet another tiring day
Today was, yet another tiring day. I have done nothing for the whole afternoon yet I felt extremely tired while I finally started studying at night. IT's weird, isn't it? I am so tired. Sometimes, working can actually sharpen my senses and make them more acute. Why is that? Well, I guess working can distract me from my weary fatigue. Does it make sense? Sure it does. Does this blog post make sense? Maybe not., Never-less, it's my blog post and I'm just suppose to write about my day and how I felt. Right now, I feel only fatigues that can be accurately expressed in my piece of writing.

Weightless
I felt kind of weightless today as if I was made out of light feathers. It was a unique feeling, to be weightless. Your body were so light it floated into the sky. In the air I can still feel myself, being sour and wounded. My legs hung slack like dead branches and my arms were pinned tightly to my back, but I didn't mind. I floated past the stores and columns, and saw tons of other students walking with their head sunk low. How fortunate it was, for me to float in the weightless sky. I felt weightless today as if I was made out of light feathers. It was a unique feeling, to be weightless, your body was so light it floated into the sky and disappeared on the crimson red horizon.

In decline
It's funny how one can remember one thing with ease yet struggle to remember other things. As for me, I have a troubled history with math and grammar. Those are the two subjects in which I perform poorly, and my memory for those two subjects are just terrible. Taking math for an example, I can't remember equations and formulas, and that is somewhat troublesome. For grammar, I just have trouble comprehending the rules and it nearly sucks the life out of me when I have to memorize grammar rules. My memory for the rest of the subjects are ok, thank god.

Relieved
I am so relieved that I finished my expository writing quiz today! Gosh, it sure is good to take that dead weight off my shoulders. At least for a little while. As you may have already known, grammar has always been a tough subject for me, and now, I'm just glad that it is over. For now. My day today was so-so so there really aren't any things to talk about. So I will ramble on about random subjects and I hope whoever is reading this will be able to bare through this nonsense chatter. We are at the end of October right now, and I am thinking desperately of the christmas break. I seriously couldn't wait for a two week vacation! Excluding that I would have to bare through another month and half or so...but I suppose it would be worth it! YEah!!!

Another tiring day
This week was restless and I didn't even have time to get my entertainment fixed. We're having an expository writing quiz tomorrow and I am freaking out at this moment. I dislike grammar! It is one of those subjects that had been troubling me for a very long time. What should I do? Is there a way to finally free me from the manacles of grammar? Is there? Well, I doubt it. So will I have to suck it up and do my best? The problem with this solution is that I can't stand that. SO what should I do? I don't mean to make this journal sound wining but that is my exact state right at this moment.

Entry 32
It took me a while to think about what to write for my journal today. One of the reasons for doing so is because I am tired. Very tried, having stayed up late for three nights in a row. I thought Thursday will be when I catch my big break and can finally lie back and relax, guess I was wrong. My topic for the MUN resolution turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. Cooperation between the OIC and the UN? How are you suppose to write a resolution about something so ambiguous? I honestly don't really see the point in doing this since all people will write is " Respect each other" and this kind of ambiguous things that form a hazy cloud in people's mind. WOuldn't you have thought so?

Entry 31
I am normally a happy writer. I sometimes do enjoy writing about my day and maybe complain a little bit, but today is totally different. Our ghost story first draft was due today, and I now understood how painful it is to write a good story. Before each section of my story, I always do a detailed plot diagram and follow the trend. I had the story in mind for a long time but today, due to the time circumstances, I had to change it so I can complete this assignment. I hope Mr. Dahl will give us more time and expand the maximum for this story. I know this is not suppose to be a novel, and my work is far from being one, but it certainly does go over 10 pages. The short version is incredibly lame compared to the long version and that is just sad.

Entry 30
Today I realized that writing a story is totally different front telling one. Just because you already had your whole story planned out doesn't mean you can just write with efficiency. Writing is hard work, and I am totally out of practice. I found difficulty in expressing myself and sometimes it is just so hard to put the stories in one's mind into words, don't you think? Well, I thought so. I have to finish the first draft of my story today because I wouldn't have any time tomorrow and I am very much sweating it. What should I do? What can I do? Pray to the goddess Muse and seek inspiration? I don't know. Any ideas? However is out there?

Entry 29
It is only 6:02 in the morning and school doesn't start until 8:00, so although I am writing yesterday's journal, I'll have plenty of time. Alright, what happened yesterday? In the morning my head nearly exploded from doing the formatting for expository writing. Those things are supposed to be easy and as Ms. Lucy stated " free points" , but for some reasons, it just doesn't work for me. After struggling with the computer system for about one hour, I finally printed out a paper copy of my final draft more ideally. Wooh! That was a bliss from heaven! I later had a spanish chapter test which I freaked out about. The unique thing about this test is that we used answer sheet instead of the real test paper, the change made the test a bit more entertaining than it was. Anyway, now I am finally done with both, I got this feeling to leap up and yelp with joy.

Entry 28
Ninth grade can be tough, especially when you found out the your grades weren't improving. What is particularly frustrating about the declining grades of mine is because I let it happen. My grades weren't dropping because I didn't have the ability to complete the assignment, bur rather because I was careless. Taking history as an example, my grades is a B+ at this moment when it could have been higher. Why? I forgot to insert footnotes on one of the first papers and received an F for that assignment. Now I have to work extra hard on that subject just to get lower grades than everyone else! Biology is another excellent example. My grade now is a slipping A- and it should have also been higher. If it wasn't for me messing up my first lab quiz by misreading the directions, I could have gotten a far better grade. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. I guess unlike certain elites, I have to learn things the hard way. Dear God if you are reading this post right now, I would like to let you know that I've learned my lesson about carelessness in school. Thank you.

Entry 27
Today is a day of great distress and suffrage for the ninth graders of Pacific American School. The students have so much coming up on Friday and the pressure is almost unbearable. We will be having a chapter 2 math test tomorrow. No big deal right? Wrong. Totally wrong. Geometry class has a unique way to calculate the student's score: 15% homework, 5% participation and.....80%test!!!! This number is incredible and is the center sole reason why we the ninth graders are stressed out tonight. If it wasn't for Geometry, tonight could have been like heaven. As I gleefully anticipated Friday and the freedom yet to come, I will finally be able to relax for the first time all week! Well, obviously that didn't happen today.

Entry 26
I would like to leave the character analysis of Triste for my next entry and do another shorter analysis on another complicated character from Glee. Her name is Quinn and she is my all time favorite. You never get s tired of her, because it's impossible to! Quinn is a woman of so many surprises and one can never anticipate her next move. She is exactly the kind of person one would like to be on the same side but not on separate sides because she will TEAR YOU DOWN. Literarily, no kidding. If you can actually get Quinn to like or even love you, than you've just got yourself the perfect backup. Quinn will be there for you always and fight for you as long as you can stand her( As caring and beautiful Quinn is, she is a difficult person to put up with) In conclusion, Quinn is far more than the bobby headed cheerleader she may have once seem. She has the most complicated personality, and immense beauty and intelligence that never fails to push her into harm's way.

entry 25
Today I will like to discuss an interesting character I have introduced to you readers yesterday. In this entry, I would like to go in-depth with her character, her childhood, her identities, her uncertainty of the future, and her repentant past. I recalled that her name was Triste. Triste was sent off to the States before she have time to even depict a hazy memory of her parents. In the States, her intelligence shown above all others and eventually, she was recognized by an organization by her scholastically achievements. In the organization, Triste was forced to make explosives that can harm millions in seconds. Years after her escape, Triste still looked back at her past with extreme repentant. I will continue with her story in the next entry tomorrow.

Entry 24
I laid back and spent my weekend with youtube and facebook. Right at this moment I am listening to " It will Rain" by Bruno Mars and the song reminded me of a reality TV show I watched a couple years back. I struggle to recall the name of the show and much of its character, but I can still recall clearly of my favorite character. She is a complicated character with a complicated past and a difficult past. Although she is not the featured starring, her presence raises attention. A girl who dresses and speaks with such maturity that appeared frightening. Her soft grey eyes reveal only sadness as she struggled to keep her own emotions intact and find a place in the presence. Burdened with guilt of her past , she was known to be weird , odd-tempered, and unreasonable though her original personality was far from being that. Very few people understood her, most dead. She is a very interesting character and I really enjoyed seeing her on the show.

Entry 23
After a long day of fatigue and wariness, I relaxed for the first time and treated myself with a semi-friday-weekend-that-is-incredibly-long celebration. Instead of pouring over heavy textbooks, I read a novel that was about fallen angels and their descendants. It's a very interesting book and I recommend everyone to check it out. I also listened to music, watched a short movie, and watched a tv comedy show called " everybody hates Chris". It was very funny and I found myself immensely hooked to what happened to Chris and his family in Brooklyn in like the 1980s??? I never knew so much can be going on and how little everyday life things can be so entertaining.

Entry 22
For those who are looking forward to it, there are no profound quotes today. Sorry. Up until this point I have been sitting in front of my computer, pondering about all the presentable past events that had happened up until now. To be candid, nothing significant happened. Yet if I am going to be forced to spit out something, I will probably talk about our history test. It was almost all essay questions and can be proven to be a little challenging. I don't know how I did on this test, but I hope that the score will be able to pull my world history grade up. My spanish grade dropped again for unknown reasons and I am still unsure and very worried about my biology grade. Our group has trouble with labs and handling microscopes; none of us has done it before.

Entry 21 ...I think
If this journal is designed to be a place where we students can express our inner profoundness, than I'm failing it for sure. Up until this point, I have done nothing but whine over peculiar things and maybe I should try to change that. How? Let's begin with a philosophical quote by Aristotle " A common danger unites even the bitterest enemies" What could this in depth statement possibly mean? In my opinion, this quote in common words will be something similar to " People, even enemies, stick together when a common obstacle stroke." Of course, this is only my interpretation. If one day some disastrous weather stroke, even the worst enemies will have to cooperate somehow to survive. I think. Well, that's enough profoundness for one day. I'm sure everybody's tired.

Entry 20- a fresh new start???
I screwed up my old blogger account and now it refuses to allow anyone to operate. I got a feeling that it was waiting for a chance like this to really jump at me and shoo me away so it can achieve internal peace. Ok, I'm just being ridiculous here, for a good reason though. Basketball practice ended just a forty minutes ago or so, and I am starving. Despite of that, school went pretty well today for me. My biggest accomplishment is in expository writing, whose last homework I no longer have to redo! Yeah! Yes, to a normal average student it is nothing to be real cheery about, but for me, it's like wow...As many of you may have already known from my many grammatical issues in this blog, I am at the bottom of the pit when it came to grammar. I have a lot of troubles getting the rules right and am absolutely clueless when it came to actually identifying different names of things from a long complicated sentence. Unfortunately, that's what expository writing does. Grammar. Sucks for me, I suppose.
