I am now very confused at the fact that should I go to the Winter Dance or not. It is really worth going? Or shall I just leave it and begin my break of constant video game playing? Right now, I am still thinking of going to the dance, because I do not want to start my tutoring at the beginning of my break. I think that after the break, I will as Robert if I can have a sleepover at his dorm and have some fun playing Call of Duty with him. Right now he is currently one of my best friends and I hope he likes my gift for him. I cannot believe at the fact that I actually bought Black Ops for Tony and that he was actually very excited for it. Oh darn, my uncle called again, I hate it when he calls, because all he ever talks about with my mom is about education. There was never once where it wasn't about focusing in class, AP courses, SATs, PSATs, and my grades. Why can I not have a nice normal family where their brains do not JUST focus on my education, why can't they be more thankful and happy? There is one thing that I must tell everyone, my mom never EVER says thank you; and I am serious about this, she never says thank you. My mom always wants more, I get a 98%, when I usually get an 85%, she asks me why not 100%. I hate it when my mom literally thinks of me as a perfect kid, think that I am Jesus. Even for smaller mistakes, like accidentally ripping a hole in my shoe, she will literally throw a chair at me for that. Anyways, I cannot believe how my mind is already racing about who to take to the prom! I am very excited about that; also, I saw Eugene Ho from last year and man.. does he look different. I also saw Lino, a student from two years ago, through the power of Facebook I have gotten to know her a bit. Well, that is a bit of the little things that is going in my head. Oh, and, Mr.Dahl, as I said before, you look fantastic in that tux! Also, I would like to thank all the Freshmen for the performance and all the performances tonight was great! Goodnight!

Yes! I am writing my journal finally coincidentally right on seven-o-clock! I wish everyone good luck for the performance tomorrow, and I am very excited for it. Everyone will definitely "crack up" at the sight of Hiroaki's dance of SNSD, "GIRLS generation" not boys. Patrick had a great argument with Ms.May during math class, Mr.May was getting very personal and rude with Patrick, for she just randomly went up to him, bugging his business. Patrick later told me that he wanted to punch that lady and break her skull. Over the weekend, I learned that Akon finally helped Michael Jackson release his song that was recorded in 2007 named "Hold My Hands" . Unfortunately, Michael Jackson will never be able to perform that song live and it is currently stuck in my head. Frankly, I am more feared to go to Viet Nam rather than excited. My dad told me that the local policemen are very mean and can take you a prisoner for the slightest things. During MUN class, I learned about the Tibet people escaping to Indian through the Himalayan Mountain Range and there hardships while crossing it. Anyways, my wish right now is to get this week over with and go home to play my Play Station. GOODNIGHT!

Today was a normal day, the classes were just fine and I actually had no objections about having classes today. Amazingly, our writing class was not boring or full of grammar! We watched an epic movie called "The Exam" which required us some critical thinking. We later will have a quiz about it's plots and characters, which I will eventually thank Mr.Dahl for having taught us about this already. "The Exam" talks about a group of very smart people taking a test for a lifetime job of a high salary. The test is merely a trick to see the intelligence of the eight people, the answer ends up as "no". It is the answer to the question "Does anyone have any question?", this small question no one answered led everyone to chaos. Which causes many to be disqualified and almost dead. Anyways, having finished that movie, I moved onto Chinese class, which we read one story and did a few word exercises. During our "practice" or "rehearsal" time, we did a quick run over our orchestra music sheets, and I was very surprised at the fact that I didn't laugh the whole way through! During our, freshman and sophomore dance practice, Tony failed by pushing the box towards Jason and hitting him. After practice, and a mediocre dinner, I am at home now with no homework at all; HORRAY! Anyways, goodnight!

December 9,2010: 08:37 P.M
Today was a very mediocre day, I had detention with Mr.Williamson which was horrible and made my allergy come back again. I had to wash and clean seven rooms and clean trash from the lockers. I actually liked and understood the beginning of the book and really enjoyed the contents. The quiz made me shiver, because I was a little bit unfamiliar with some of the words and had difficulties making sentences out of them. Towards the end of the quiz, I suddenly forgot what remorse meant and I just wrote something that I thought it would make sense to. During history class, we received a worksheet that asked historical facts about Lewis & Clark and the whole class cracked up, because there was a website that we all found that answered every exact question to the worksheet. We easily finished the 28 questions and moved onto playing our computers. Amazingly, today during Wordly Wise class, Brandon was playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare! We found it slightly ironic, because he mentioned before that games were stupid and slightly "gay". And now he is playing my game like a savage being a cannibal. Today, during our rehearsal at the Guang Fu gym, we finally got the handle of dance Hiroaki's dance and learned how to sing some christmas songs. When I got home, I received a nice present of more SAT works from America and a desk-ful of paper for writing. Anyways, I just finished my tutor class and I want to finish my drama with my mom. Goodnight!

December 7,2010: 07:36 P.M
I was very disappointed today in the morning, because I received two detentions for doing basically nothing. I did as Mr.McCool told me to do, to take away the guns. I did not want anymore BB bullets in the gun so I was taking them out, and guess what, I got in trouble for that. Can't this week go right, before Christmas? Number one, I have a test every week from Ms.May and also two more detentions and I have no time to play this week. The only thing going well, is that I received yet another good review on my paper for MUN. Anyways, I am frankly very excited about writing a short story for Mr.Dahl, especially it is based on my life. I am going to exceed the story limits and go beyond 1000 words if I can. Also, I was really mad at the fact that the writing story is due not before the break, but after the break. Today I received my PSAT grades, and I was happy at the fact that I defeated some higher graders. I cannot wait to see my father this week and see his happy face smiling. Today, on the way home, I met a crazy homeless lady that shouted at me for not wearing enough clothes on in the winter weather. Then she went off laughing and punching the wall, I suspect that she hurt herself doing that, because she immediately stopped. I can't wait for winter break to come, I will play all day and sleep all day. Goodnight!

December 7,2010: 07:44 P.M.
Today was, again, another boring day with no surprises, with everything as it should be going. I felt like as if I was hibernating this morning, because I just couldn't wake up at all. It literally took me about an hour just to get up and to brush my teeth and take a shower. During math class, I turned into a volcano and blasted words at Ms.May, because she was being very biased. She thought Ben was imitating her accent, but actually it was Austin Luor. I argued with her and I finally won, she finally apologized to me and she never dared stare at me again. During health class, I watched a movie called "Fools In" and it was really funny, through that movie I actually learned some Spanish. My dad came back today and he asked me if I wanted anything. I said no, but Ben asked for Call of Duty: Black Ops for the PS3 and he has agreed to buy it. I cannot believe the score I got on my MUN essay project, it was 100% and 100% for another map quiz. I am definitely getting an A+ on that class! Anyways, I reached home and finished my story outline and finished my history essay. That is to my journal entry today, and yes there is drama going on in school and I am helping them have peace with each other. Goodnight!

December 6, 2010: 07:01 P.M.
Well, I would first like to ask Mr.Dahl that, can I have my BB guns back? Honestly, Tony saw you holding them today, and I would really want them back. I was never aiming at anyone, I did as Mr.Wahlgren told me, to shoot at the empty fields, and that's what I did. STILL! I had my gun confiscated, which erupted me like a volcano, I was following what teachers told me to do, and yet I had is confiscated. This is preposterous, ridiculous, and stupid! Anyways, I am not mad at anyone, but I just wanted the teachers to understand that I did as the teachers told me.
Anyways, today was pretty boring, and was very long, since we were all tired to death. Literally, almost everyone was sleeping during World History class, which gave Mr.Wahlgren a hard time teaching us. This is, again, preposterous, I cannot believe at the fact that we had school today. What I only appreciated was that the fact that Frank understood how we felt and canceled swimming practice. Also, I received another news that I will be one of the most stressful person during February, March, and April. The reason was that they have signed me up for two conference, one following the other. The first is St. Petersburg MUN and TAIMUN following it 10 days right after. Usually, a person will have a first conference, then another one at least half a year later. I cannot believe that one is ten days right after another. I also only will have three weeks to prepare for it. Also, I am in the "special" committee which discusses classified and special things. The rest of the day was restful, I went home quickly, took a nap, finished homework, and played a round of Modern Warfare 2 with Ben. I have decided to start my journal today quickly, from 6:50, but by the time I am finished it will be 7:00. I am very excited for the drama that they are going to show tonight, last time they ended the drama, leaving a mystery for all the watchers to wonder about. Also, I was surprised at the fact that I wrote 860 words on North Korea's nuclear and weapon proliferation. I explained how it harmed people and how it harmed the economy. The essay received a good score with some minor grammar mistakes, I quickly patted myself on the back. Well, it is seven and I am excited at the fact that break is starting next week on the day of my mom's birthday. Also, my dad is coming back, I wonder what wonders and money he has for me. Oh! He is ever so nice to me, I can't believe such dad exists. I love him so much! Oh! The clock just hit 7:00! Goodnight and chao!

December 5,2010 Sports Day
Sports day was not fun at all for me. We had a hard time selling drinks, especially at the fact that eight people would order it at once, and it took us a long time to finish them all. All the people agreed that we should've had a break today, since everyone is sore and cannot move. The yellow team won like everyone else expected, no one was actually cheering, because everyone knows it is unfair. During one time at the shop, Andy Liu gave too much sugar into one drink and that drink was almost never ordered again. After the games and day, Julius went missing and we found out later that he was in McDonalds. When he came home, Julius and I played Modern Warfare and I killed him a lot. Anyways, back to Sports Day, we made a lot of money, but we found out that 1000 NT was missing from our box. We called Popo to check the security camera, and we are still waiting for a result. Anyways, that's my day, goodnight!

I think today my mom was not in a good mood. There is this thing with my mom, when she is in a bad, I am her punching bag. In other words, she starts screaming nonsense at me for 3 hours and then chucks things at me. To me, this is normal, happens once a week. This is why I regret being a chink eyed Asian with a typical Asian mom. I often ask myself,"Why does my mom think that I am literally perfect and am the smartest guy in the whole wide world?" Today she started screaming at me how I did not "review" for a small quiz tomorrow, and that I must get 100% or she will send me to the military school. Then out of no where, she cooked me a soup and told me to drink it. I then said, I wasn't hungry, then she started screaming at me for eating late at night. "I didn't even ask her," I told myself. Wow, tomorrow we have McDonald's for Health class. I can't wait to eat those fatty fast foods, and amazingly I am also excited about writing a short story. It has always been one of my hobbies as a small kid to write random narratives and stories. I can't wait to fire up this story and maybe have yet, another good plot. Tomorrow, I am also finally going back to Taipei and taking the bus with my friend Julius Chiang. I might also take the bus with Brandon, but it depends if he will have to spend his time with Vicki or not. In my physics tutor, we talked about different dimensions and how to prove these dimensions with math. It is said that in the sixth dimension, shadows don't appear black, but just a simple reflection of the book. In many physics magazines, it is also said that with mathematics, ghosts are proven. These mathematics proves that these ghosts are from the first or second dimension, therefore making them body-less. There are also no reasons to fear them, unless they are from another greater dimension, ones that are above the 4th dimension. "The world is unreal," according to my physicists or tutor," we see things that are only what we believe we see. We see and believe what we can only perceive from our fourth dimension senses. In times such as the black hole, time is crushed, it will seem as if it has been a billion years, before you know that you are dead." He also proved to me on how Einstein proved that a curved path can allow an object to go faster than a straight path. "It is simply common sense," said my tutor," if point A is at the tip of a straight line, and B on the other end, simply curve the path so that point A and point B touch each other. Then, you have no lines at all." He also proved to me that E=mc2 is the travel in time. Well, that is what I have learned today in Physics. Happy December and goodnight!

I am excited at the fact that the Christmas Holiday is almost here. I can imagine myself sitting at home, playing with my friends, skating with my friends, and eating expensive foods with my lovable dad! Christmas break also brings me back to the time when my cousin and I in America used to throw burning plastic bags with poop in it at people's house. Oh how fun it was! It also brings me sadness, I am really sad at the fact that I am stuck in Taiwan, a small dirty island that has no tradition. Today, I went to writing class, and finally found myself concentrating. I proximately wrote a single paragraph with about 350 words. I cannot believe it, after I finished that paragraph, I stared at my "half-written" essay. After patting myself in the back, the bell rang and I headed for Chinese. Chinese class was boring, I surfed the internet, played some games, and the bell rang for after school to begin. The sophomores and the freshman grades had a meeting together, we suggested each other ideas for the Christmas show. There is only one thing I can tell you guys right now, it includes the hyper Hiroaki and Tony. Tony is a very funny and jolly fellow in our performance, this is going to be funny. After skating outside at the playground with Patrick and Jason, I went to eat dinner. I finished a big bowl of duck noodle soup and went home. After finishing Algebra II homework and studying for our English quiz. I went to write my journal, and happy December! Goodnight!

November 30, 2010: 09:21 P.M.
Finally, my mom is going to buy Ben an Alienware computer. I am so happy for Ben, because we are very serious gamers and that is the best gaming computer in the world. That is not my opinion, it is a fact, the gaming industry has proved it the best PC gaming system. It's graphics is so good, it can play Crisis 2 without lagging. In other words, it is so good it can run the best "graphic-ed" game in the whole world. I am also happy for my cousin because he already received one. I am also looking forward to installing Windows 7 into my Apple Macbook Pro, I can't wait to install some games.
Anyways, today I woke up, surprised that my Indonesian maid has cooked the wrong breakfast. The evening before, I told her to not cook, and let my mom cook. Also, she has no common sense, there is a funny story behind it. One night, like last, I turned off the light outside my room, and five minutes later, it was turned back on. I, half asleep, wobbled out and turned it back off. After falling asleep, I felt another bright yellow disturbance, she turned it on AGAIN. After three to four times of turning the lights on and off, I waited for her to walk out of her room. I angrily told her, " DO NOT TURN THE LIGHTS OFF!!!!" She said she thought turning the lights on is normal, and I told her, but I constantly turned it off. She said, so I turned it back on. I retorted, " Just leave it off, please!" Finally after 45 minutes of turning the lights on and off, I finally fell to sleep. Today was Ricky's seventeenth birthday, I was invited to drink 50 Blue with him, and I enjoyed it. Brandon Lu made a funny biographical speech about Adolf Hitler, in first person. The funny thing was that Brandon made his hair like Hitler and wore a fake beard, that later fell off in the middle of his speech. Well, now I have completed my homework. Goodnight!

Today was not very significant, it was boring and normal. The started out with me having a hard time waking up, I had a major headache. When I went into Mr.Dahl's class I thought I was going to watch and continue the TMDG movie from 1932; but instead we did our Holt Readers. In history class, we watched a documentary on the poor side of North Korea. A secretive filmer "Ahn Uhng" is undercover and filming videos with a small cell phone camera of the poorer society of North Korea. He had escaped across the river to China and went back and forth to take films, to spread awareness. While on the other side, another foreign Filmer is in Pyongyang checking the richer side of North Korea. According to Mr.Wahlgren, many of the apartments in North Korea are empty and are just there to impress foreigners. There are also many fake people (handicapped, children, and old people are kicked out) in the city. During lunch, Tiger and I discussed about our tactics on how to destroy Andy Liu's team on Counter-Strike Online. We finally decided the best way is to let them come towards us "spraying", and we just knife them. When I went back home, my headache was still there, and I finished all my homework. I chatted then with an Australian friend I met in Modern Warfare 2. He is going to teach me how to get tactical "nuke" in Modern Warfare. Well, I must continue my gaming lecture! Goodnight!

On Friday, we did an essay on two articles on Watchingamerica.com; one was "The Person of the year, ' The Unemployed American', the other was "The China Shadow and the need for America". One talked about how out of all the likes of superstars, the rate of unemployment in America wins them all, it was published by S. Korea. The second talked about how China should be leading Asia's economy and step up one more step. I wrote that I agreed that America wasn't the best place to work now and also for the second article, that China SHOULD step up. On Saturday, my mom and I went to vote for the governors of Taipei City. That same evening, we celebrated the winnings of the blue for Taichung, New Taipei, and Taipei City. All were very good people at economy and politics and all are good at English. They also are very experienced, either from good education or terms before. On Sunday, I woke up at six feeling really awkward with my eyes and couldn't breath. I just found out that my sleep apneia has once a gain come back. Later that day, I checked my BB guns to see if it is working for sports day. I finished later, all my math homework from 5-3~6 and finished some SAT practices. That is my day. Goodnight!

Wednesday Nov, 25,2010: 09:59 P.M.
Today was an easy day, all the classes were fun, and I didn't think I used my brain at all. Surprisingly, I thought the English class was the most fun, for we watched a 1932 movie of "The Most Dangerous Game". I was surprised at the fact that there were other guests, rather than just Rainsford. I was also surprised that back in the 30s they had enough money to make such a movie during the Great Depression. The funny thing was that I could tell that the ship on the sea was just a toy. During history class, we had Sue keep on saying how we should work on essays and was basically doing a countdown, until Thanksgiving lunch. I would say the lunch was good, but I wasn't very interested in NFL or Football. To me, it looks quite boring like soccer, playing it is fun, but watching isn't. I don't feel the thrill of catching a ball or running down the green field. I would like to thank the teachers for cooking such a nice turkey and thank all the parents for bringing in food. I played ping-pong most of the time and I beat Andy Liu. Everyone laughed because Andy Liu said I could not play ping-pong and he ended losing to me by a lot (meaning the score was 5-2). A lot of people said that more people were watching ping-pong than watching the NFL. It was true, all the people gathered around the table to watch us play. After meeting up with my team, I rarely did anything. I went over to the side of the ping-pong tables and helped my team draw their banner. Hiroaki made me really angry, because instead of drawing a Spartan, he started drawing an ancient Japanese "Street Fighter" character. I told him to not draw it, because it was of his OWN interest and it had nothing to do with Sports Day. He finally agreed with the fact that it represented nothing. Today during my Physics tutor, I found out that my tutor was kind of "old". I always thought he was in his early 20s but he told me is 29, and said that he is entering the twilight "zone" of life. Finally, the centripetal force came into my mind, I finally knew how to convert the equations, and calculate some energy mechanics of in and out energy and work. After finishing a good drama, I am now writing my journal. Goodnight!

Today was a bad day for me, the minute I woke up, my mom was in a bad mood. She kept on yelling for no reason that she wanted to abandon me. I later asked her why, she retorted, " Because you kept me from going to my office on time." I did not want to go to her office, and yet she waited for me. I told her the night before that I didn't want to go, and yet she waited for me. She wanted me to go and I get yelled at; stupid Asian mom. At her office, I had to again, work on SAT workbooks, study physics, finish math tutor, watch a history lecture, do PSAT critical reading exercises, Algebra II tutor lecture, Physics lecture, read a book, and finish my MUN homework. After finishing lunch and working tirelessly on these education things, I went to skate with Ben at a nearby park. I finally finished a basic trick "cleanly", meaning that I did it with ease. After a very boring afternoon, listening to my mom yell at workers, we finally left to go home. Having a nice dinner (the only good part about today), I went home. I was about to ask my mom to play my games, when she yelled at me again and ordered me to finish Physics homework. Well, I am working on it RIGHT now. Goodnight!

Well, I feel kind of sad for the teachers because tomorrow is Professional Development day, sounds harsh. I wonder what kind of weird things they do that they. Perhaps they study like us, or get yelled at by Ms.Pamela, or they laugh and gossip to each other about their students. Whatever it is, I wish them good luck, and P.D day must be boring. I finally complete my second trick on the skateboard today, and have no school tomorrow; oh! What a good day! Although it is break tomorrow, I am rather depressed at the fact that I will have to leave early in the morning to go to my mom's evil office; in other words, the Kingdom of Boredom. A place that is part of hell, where no one escapes without being scared in the brain from boredom. Today's morning I had a bad headache and went to school in a bad mood. I probably was rude to my friends, for they kept asking me if I felt better now and could talk to me. During math class, I received my test back and believe me, it was bad. Many of the problems I did were careless mistake, almost none were ones I did not understand. I am now trying to improve myself by going to her "question asking" homeroom times at the auditorium. The rest of the day was pretty simple, all was well, and in MUN class we watched a video about kids in Beslan and the siege from the Chechnya terrorists. Afterwards, we had another Freshmen meeting in the auditorium and we discussed very specific things and how we should cooperate to make Sports Day work. We finally decided to divide the class into four sections, Bakery, Drinks, Games, and Designs. Sadly, Tony was yet put together with girls he will obviously hate. I wonder how he will feel tomorrow when we tell him, I bet he will kick a wall of punch someone in the office. What an interesting day, eh? Well farewell, and goodnight!

At the start of the day, I was very unhappy; at the fact that my maid has placed my folder with my homework away to wash the folder. Therefore, I spent all the homeroom time "WRITING" out the whole Johnny Tremain Quiz and trying to remember the answers I wrote. There were also a lot of distractions going on, but I guess, Ms. Padachie's music calmed me down; for it was easy Jazz. Another annoyance happened in Mr.Dahl's class when he played the "Backbone Slide" rap. The background music became stuck into my brain and forced me to hum it all day. I also was unhappy at the fact that Mr. Dahl placed me right by Tiger to make me talk. Therefore, I received my first warning today. I hope I can control myself in the future and not talk to my close friends. During history, we happily joked around with Mr. Wahlgren on saying he used to be a walrus, because his named started with "Wahl" and rhymed with Walrus's "Wal". Finally, we saw him laugh and smile for the second time in class. During lunch, Tony received a bad *honey & milk session and we had to wait for him. While eating, he came back and told us how bad it was; we all quickly lost our appetites. From a distance, we could hear the usual routine of Percy, we could hear " HOWARD!" and "TAI!" in the background. My friends and I would all sigh and whisper to ourselves under our breath, " Percy..". After the usual writing class, I headed for the Chinese class, I was surprised that our substitute is still there. He is very organized and good at English and knew how to teach. He is also more strict than our old teacher. Frankly, I like this teacher more than the old one. Right after school, the freshman was suddenly called into the auditorium to talk with our student council representatives. We discussed about how we will set our booths and what to sell. Brandon said that we must make the prices higher since our drinks are more exotic. After school, I finished my homework, chatted with my friends and this is my day. Goodnight!

The weekend was very exciting and fun, well, only for Sunday. On Friday, I went home and played a few games of Medal of Honors and Modern Warfare 2. I also did not go to the swimming team because my back was bruised and "crippled" from falling of a grind. Ben was supposed to go, but refused, so Frank told me that he is out of the team. Ben told me he is going to try and sneak back in next week, but I think he'll fail. I was also excited at the fact that my friend is coming back during winter break; can't wait to hang out with her. I have also chosen that I shall do a biography on Isaac Newton and describe his laws of gravitational force and G constant. I have completed my quiz early for Johnny Tremain which left me with no homework to work on. Later on Saturday, I had the worst day in my life. I had two lectures on one day and had to spend a morning in my mom's office doing an SAT workbook. Right after a morning of an SAT session, I moved onto my violin lesson for 45 hours and later from 7~8:30 I had a math tutor. On Sunday, I had a family lunch or relative lunch with my rarely met cousin Teresa. She is a graduate and lawyer from Columbia University, and I had a nice time with her. On the way home, my mom and I talked about going and applying for universities. We talked about how three of my cousins all went to MIT and one went to both MIT and Harvard. That is my journal entry on my weekend, boring,eh? Goodnight.

Before I must begin, I will have to now keep some personal information to myself. But yet I must inform Mr.Dahl that we do not dislike the girl for her looks, but rather her nasty attitude. Today was yet another skating day during club time, but during Algebra II I was surprised at myself. I was surprised because I have paid more attention in the class. I finally understood the parabola equations and way y=ax2+bx+c is equalled to a simple parabola. I studied most of class time studying on the chapter before, for we have a test tomorrow on the previous chapter. After a great math class, I headed over to Mr.Dahl's english class. As soon as I walked through the door of the english class, Tony flashed me an evil look and told me, " Good Luck!" I quickly stared towards the "dumb" board and it revealed my new devastating seat. I have been moved to Tony's previous seat! Oh! How much more evil can Mr. Dahl get? How much more can Mr.Dahl torture the class of English I? Tiger and I both mourned throughout the class and we spat with anger, crying with sadness. We soon though quickly pretended as if all others were trees and continued our day. After a horrible class, I headed towards Health class, and the funniest things were to come. Percy, who is very interested in the Penis, kept on screaming on the top of his voice, "TESTES! TESTES!"He also said that the penis released the penis, which cracked up the whole class. In the next history class, the class gave individual speeches on the French Revolution, and Ben happily spoke with an English accent. Which made the class sounded like BBC news! During club time, Brandon, Ethan, Eddy, Ben, and I tried to grind and a lot of us fell with pain. After a few games of skate, we left the school and we went home. After finishing some homework, and having a Physics tutor lecture us about Centripetal Force and Gravitation Force, I turned on my computer and started writing my journal. Goodnight!

Wednesday Nov, 11, 2010: 10:07 P.M.
Today was a very fateful day, but before all the chaos begun, I must start with the normal day. Today was a Wednesday, which to us, skaters, is the "skating" day. In the morning, I met up with the principal and as usual he said my name, and I ignored him. Coming in to Ms. Padachie's room, I hear the great bass of the techno music that just brought me to happiness. After homeroom, I had a lovely class with Mr.Dahl where we sat together with new people. Frankly, I did enjoy the time with Isumi rather than bringing up an argument. What we all felt sad for was Tony Ohu, who was yet assigned AGAIN with the "armpit monster" or "nuclear winter". This is highly classified and I will not bring out HER name to prevent Mr.Dahl from getting me into trouble. It is very funny at the fact that ever event, even Sports Day, that Tony has to meet up with his "girl of fate". He was obviously very unhappy and was forced to look away from the girl sitting in front of him ( please do not tell anyone, this is a journal anyways). After a lovely or "delicious" discussion about the Interlopers question and Full Circle, I headed for the World History Class. As we entered the classroom, Andy Liu was again being a poser, and calling out names that I call. Of course, seeing me, he has stopped his stupidity and became once a normal "kid". During a video about the French Revolution, we saw the guillotine chop off some heads, and Tony and I constantly keep shouting, "Cranberry Juice!" During lunch, I had a good conversation with Tony about Call of Duty: Black Ops the new game that came out 2 days ago. After lunch, I headed for the Expository Writing II A class. During that class, there wasn't much going on. Benson had stopped bullying Andy Feng and we made some quick impromptu speeches and presentations. I received Racial Discrimination and I described how the history of racism has effected the modern society. After a 90 minute session, I continued my day onto the Chinese class; all is well, and I learned a few new words and Zhu- Yings. When the 3:10 bell rang, I ran out with joy to skateboard. Today was a very physically painful day for me at the 6th floor of PAS. For the first time, I tried to grind on a bar with my newly learned tricks. I fell about 7~10 times and suddenly I had a acute pain in my back like an old man. It seemed like the muscle in my back has stretched when I fell and pulled the whole muscle as I screamed in pain. On my fifth or sixth trial, I landed on my right elbow, and landed also on my left wrist, suddenly a burst of swelling pain flew all over my arm. My buttocks was also affected as my whole body landed on it on the seventh trial. After being crippled all over my body, I headed back to the front of the office to await my mom. To see the mood of my mom after seeing the report card I decided to call her. Frankly, she did not get infuriated at me, for she was ticked off at my brother. My brother obviously did not do well in the first term, and as my mom shrilled at the phone , " HE CANNOT GO HOME!" After parent teachers conference, my mom yet again was not mad at me, but proud. She informed me that my uncle was proud of my grades, and also the fact that I was improving since seventh grade. After I got home, I burst ed into laughter, for my Indonesian maid has gotten a new haircut. I was also infuriated at the fact that she wasted 450 NT when she could've gotten a nice 100 NT haircut at the A-Mart. After finishing some slight homework of Algebra 2, I started writing my journal. OH! I forgot! I have a history homework of another speech yet to make. Good night!

Well, the second day of my journal entry is here. Today is a bit more normal, nothing is much happening, except the fact that it was my new day in Health class. I really like the class with Mr.Rick, we watched a movie about the "Journey of Life" and much more. I was astonished on how people grow old so fast and how the body changes physically and emotionally. Afterwards, I went to basketball, we had a few shooting drills and fun. We ran around exercising ourselves and practicing our aiming and precision. After a 90 minute session with Mr.Lee I headed for the MUN class. During MUN class we had to make random impromptu speeches on the random topic we selected out of the hat. I received China, and I talked about the communism and the government issues. We had really random questions such as "toothpaste" and "soccer" and the funniest was made by Percy's speech about the "Smartboards". He suggested that the Smartboard is smart because it is white and easier to write on than the black board. The class had a good laugh and himself too. After school, I was called in by Ms. Sherry and she told Benson and I that we might get suspended or a punishment for fooling around with Andy. This infuriated me because I did none of this nonsense, I quickly swore to myself and walked away. Now listening to this news, I now REALLY hate that bald principal and his attitude towards students. I just wish he can burn to death. Later, I saw my report card and was very satisfied with it, although not completely satisfied. During orchestra, we normally practiced our musical songs and some new ones as well. Well, I have found out that my report card is here, and amazingly my mom isn't throwing tables at me, how happy.

Well, today was very exciting, and scary. Right after lunch I headed for the Expository Writing II class for my third class. In the middle of the class, Benson Hsu decided to mess with classmate Andy Feng. As calm as the room seems, chaos was to come. Taking Andy's personal notebook, Benson started writing the words "Clownfish" on one side and "Adidas" on the other. We would switch sides and trick Andy to let him read the words. Finally, Benson wrote *** on one side and Tiffany Lin on the other, Andy seeing this got very tempered and blew up the whole table. Seeing this, Mr.Joubert sent Benson to see Mr.Williamson (fireman chief). After school, a meeting was held for the Freshman groupe, and we discussed our sports day booths. We finally voted that we will have a balloon even where we shoot the balloons with either darts or BB guns to win a prize. Then, feeling that the weather is good, my friends and I decided to skate around for a while. Congratulations to Eddy Tsao, he has learned the Cabelliero, a hard trick to learn in skating. I was very happy the fact that Ethan Chang was there, fore he gave a lot of helpful tips and great formulas. After about an hour and a half, we stopped say farewells to each other, and Ethan headed out to buy dinner. Afterwards, I called my mom and we talked about parent teacher conference, and we talked about my grades. Finally, she have brought into the consideration of moving back to CA. I was very happy about it. And now, I sit in my room typing about how my day was, goodbye. Chao, Mr.Dahl.
