Here I am! Yes, I have not died, though I did seem to hide. Anyway, in case you've been wondering what's up with me I'm here to fill you in.
The "surprise" trip to Texas was super fun! I still have to upload all the pictures but I'll be happy to send them to whoever asks. <3 I wish I had longer than a few days. :( (Although, I must say I felt like I did so much stuff in those two days there that it felt like I spent a week there XD) The hangover feeling that Monday was not fun however. :/ That plus the insane amount of tests that week (the last week before finals) felt like I was being punished for having a great trip. Still way worth it. :D
Speaking of school: it is almost done for the year! (this year, 2011 at least ;) ) These last two days have been finals days. Which, by the way, having to take all 7 of my finals (even AB Calculus which I do not get a grade for) has been awfully brutal. I do not study THAT much, but just having to take two 90 minute tests back to back makes me want to slam my head against a desk. At least now I have four done and each day is a half day. :) On Friday I made two 100's (for AB and Biology), and so far I have the score to beat for Biology ;) (92 out of 100 let's see who beats me). Also: I've been taking pictures :D I know some of you people in Texas asked for some, plus Ting is leaving. :( It's so sad!!! She even leaves on Xmas D: Tell me that does not stink! (Not that she celebrates it, but still!) So I took some pictures of us and Matilde. :) Then I took some pictures with Apollo! Then some with Apollo and Uniqia ^^ Super cuteness.
Now for college stuffs: I think I may be done applying!!! YAY!!! Last weekend I was an essay maniac and wrote about 7 of them. So I applied for my last two schools: Johns Hopkins and Columbia University. Also applied for some Hispanic Scholarship Fund scholarships. This weekend I wrote some essays, but definitely without the drive I had last weekend. :/ That's for the Gate's scholarship. *sigh* My relaxation from finishing applications was so short lived! Cannot wait until college is all prepared for and done with. :)
Also speaking of college stuffs: I GOT INTO THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN <3 I knew I would, but I was getting worried when I didn't get my acceptance email on the first day (the infamous December 15) but I'm in! <3 So hope I can afford it. Sadly, U of A is looking quite affordable. :/ I won't know about fellowships for a while, but I got an $8000 scholarship there, which would cover at least all of tuition. So far it's six for six people. After Case Western, I'll only be waiting on the biggies for replies. Can't say I'm totally looking forward to those probably rejection letters but oh well.
As Winter Break gets closer, I cannot wait to go to Chicago! We didn't go last year, so I am really looking forward to it. :) My dad and I made this whole list of things I really have to experience (since I was so young when I lived there). Plays, fancy restaurants, the South side and North side? I'm game. :)
In case things get hectic: MERRY XMAS TO ALL <3
And to all a great year :D

I don't what hurts more: my back or brain
How to describe this week......
GAHHHHHHBOOMBLEHMEHEHHHHHHHHHWHOOSHPLOP!
.....Yes, that seems very accurate. ^^
This week started off innocently enough, then, OUT OF NOWHERE, got super dooper stressful. I don't know quite how to describe it, but the week seemed to mix a bunch of tests and missing a lot of classes, all at the same time. X)
Let's focus on the fun things for a second:
On Tuesday they had this ceremony to hand out money to anyone who passed an English, Math, or Science AP test last year. Of course, I just watched. But, hey, got to skip a class :D.
Then....Weds.....or maybe Monday, we had our Homecoming parade........during school. (Weird right?) So basically, we went and watched the band march, color guard twirl, cheerleaders walk down cheering, and then a bunch of clubs and random seniors on the the backs of cars and trailers throwing candy. XD I didn't understand most of the "floats" but, whatcha going to do? ;)
On Wednesday night my parents and I went to see a spoken word performance at the university. It was AWESOME! <3 The guy was amazing! He'd come from New York for Hispanic Heritage Month and I just loved him. Too bad only like 10 of us showed up to hear him. ><' I liked him so much, I even bought his little book of poetry and got him to sign it. :) Then, instead of studying for one of those many tests I mentioned, we went and got french fries but they were terrible XD.
So, on Weds our calculus teacher had said there was going to test tomorrow (AB). But a girl in my Gov class had heard from her friend in another class that it had been moved to Friday. I went and asked my teacher, and sure enough, IT WAS :D. BUT, we were supposed to keep it a secret so slackers would study ;). When we showed up on Thurs and people realized there was no test people both cheered and got super mad. XD
Next comes BC. Like always, they wanted to put a really hard BC problem and write that it was for the AB. I said, "If you really want to scare them, just put the desks in rows. They think they have a test today, but they don't." They liked that idea. X) So we put all the desks in rows, wrote the song my teacher sings every test day on the back board, then put problems that looked like they could be test q's but made them IMPOSSIBLY HARD. XD. Apparently, they bought it too. ^^ Some people didn't believe those were the q's but were sure there was a test. Others actually got a paper and started working them. XD XD XD. We tis evil <3
Then on Friday we got out of class for a homecoming maid ceremony. They just introduced them all and they sat down and the choir sang. Pretty boring, BUT it was during 2nd period.......so guess who missed that test that had been postponed ;).
In BC, we FINALLY graded that test we took like 3 weeks ago. EVERYONE made an A XD. It was HILARIOUS. I only missed one point ;) and the teacher's all like "You haven't taken AB yet, and you still did so well" I just said "because you taught it!" (even though she BARELY did) but I guess everyone else hates me because they pointed out it was just calculator problems. X)
Friday night is when everything burst into flames. See, I had signed up for SAT Subject tests a while ago........and never got around to studying for them. :/ So, I had a cramming session all of Friday which was REALLY UNcool. T-T Plus, my bus was 20 minutes late to pick us up and I was cranky. ><' Not a good night whatsoever.
Saturday morning wasn't much better. Had to wake up at 6:45 to go take the tests. I'm studying in the car, and when I look up I realize my mom is driving to MY school instead of Fayetteville high. I freak out. We have to turn around and drive ALL the way back in the opposite direction. ><' I was the last one in to the testing room, but at least they hadn't started. -_-' The tests were meh. The math wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I chickened out and took Ecology for bio instead of Molecular (which I swear I would have failed XD). Then the Spanish was a little harder than I thought.
But! To make up for that morning mom got us some penguin ed's and I don't know if I was just really hungry or what but I CHOWED. IN THE CAR. We had to go get more XD because I had eaten all the pulled pork before we were on our way home (we had stopped at Walmart to get bread). I was just so happy. X)
Homecoming was Saturday night. SOMEONE had the bright idea of having it OUTSIDE, at NIGHT, and it was FREEZING. Really, I was wearing a jacket and it was still terrible. I'm all sore today because my joints are stiff. The dance itself wasn't that great. Not much variety. :/ I found it very meh. Didn't help that I could only think of you all and our dances all night X).
Today it's just a work day. :/ But I felt terribly sore and tired so I've been slacking. ^^' Bad me I know.
So long for now,
~S~

Stressful or stressless saturday?
Yesterday was stressful. .-. Actually, kinda a lot of stress lately. But, the only way you can really tell are my pimples XD. Stupid break outs.
I got my schedule changed! That's right, I'm taking SIX AP classes (including AB Calculus) and YES, I am crazy. :D. I like my AP Gov class though. It's interesting, and by interesting I mean entertaining. The teacher's cool, we have people who are the kind that make the teacher think and bring up good points, and the topics need actual brain power. Lots of reading to do, but so far no mindless paper work. But now I have a test on Tuesday and I missed the first week and a half of class. D:
Speaking of tests, I had my first ones. ><' First was AB Calculus. It wasn't that bad, just the one I THINK is bonus gave me issues and I gave up on it. Chemistry was next and was MURDER. LITERALLY MURDER. 1 min and 12 seconds is NOT enough time to do a stoich problem without a calculator!!!! 30 minutes for 25 problems, and only 5 weren't limiting/empirical/math stuff. Mrs. Pitman (my fawesome teacher) was like, "you should be on problem 15 right now." I was on 9. Day 2 of Chemistry was better. The free-response caught me off guard at first because some parts seemed so simple that I made it harder than it was. .-. Biology was on the same day (Friday). Of course, the ONE free-response I hoped we would NOT get........we did. So far, I've made an 82 on the multiple choice, crossing my fingers for the free response.
Other stress has been lunch time. .-. Ting and I used to sit outside, but one day she had said she'd wanted to sit with the German foreign exchange student. We did. ......the problem was I really didn't like the other people at the table. :/ I was sitting sticking out of the table, the odd person out, while the juniors (they were all juniors) spoke really loudly and obnoxiously and I just found it to all be very annoying. So, basically I decided I didn't want to sit there. .......problem is.......where DO I sit? Basically, I went back to the Asian table which is weird without Ting. They're all nice about it though, except they're going through their own group dynamic problems and the table goes silent often and awkwardly. I need a niche. :(
I'm addicted to chocolate milk now. X) I drink so much now, and it makes me so HAPPY. It's like my energy boost. :D Yesterday, I had two bottles instead of one and I was jumping around like a maniac. ^^'
SUGAR!!!!!!!!
On another random note: WE SAW A BEAVER FROM OUR HOUSE. IT LIVED IN A HOLE IN THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE!!!!!!! It was so cute X). Kiko wanted to go over and get it, he was watching it from the back porch. Apparently they found out though and chased it away and covered the hole. :( What entertainment will we get now?
Also, I HAD A BUFFALO BURGER TODAY. ^-^ IT WAS YUMMY!!!!!! It had caramelized onions, cheese, and special catchup with cumin in it.
WE'RE GONNA GET A GRILL REAL SOON. <3 (I think tomorrow!) When we do, we're gonna have a grill party for the three of us. :D We're gonna buy EVERYTHING we've been missing and EAT IT ALL UP! NOM NOM NOM. We've been without a grill for at LEAST a year, and I've missed it so much. T-T
No more procrastinating my homework :(
