NOOOOOOOOOOOOO-VEMBER!

So i'm home from work, which means I can finally do my blog ;-;

So this month was pretty hectic. I started off the month with a field trip to bishop museum. It was pretty fun and I felt like a kid again. I miss going to that place every year during elementary lol. Also, our house is a mess because we're redoing the floors. Inside our house is so bare, but if you go outside its a wreck since all of our furniture and stuff are just in a pile lol. I also visited Windward Community College because that's where i'm gonna go for college. After that visit i'm even more stressed out because the classes I need to take for my major only has 60 seats so I gotta hurry, and then for the second year of my major they only take the top 24 students out of the 60 so like I gotta work my butt off.

So what I want to improve on is that I have to start exercising lol. I've been feeling weak lately and also I just wanna lose weight lol. So I gotta work on that lol. Continuing from last month, I still have a long way to go on getting rid of my procrastinating ways. My advice to the current class is that don't be scared to go to community college for your first option. There's nothing bad with community colleges, even though it has that kind of rep. It's honestly a great way to not be in debt and just get your general education and then transfer to a 4 year college once you make a decision with your major.

SPOOPY OCTOBER

Yes I know I'm late on my post but I just got back from work ;-;

So this month was pretty much a blur to me. I don't really remember much because I haven't really done anything memorable. We had fall break, which was great I guess, but all I did was stay home and go to work. I guess the most interesting thing about this month was this new guy we hired at work got fired because he was just so frustrating to work with. He was working at the store for a month and yet we had to teach him everything over and over again. I've been stressed for a while because of college, financial aid, and just getting ready to graduate. We also got our grades yesterday and I'm not too happy about it because I've been lacking. Although it really doesn't look that bad.

So things I want to improve on would be my lazyness. I have been slacking off for too long, and I need to find my motivation in life again. Part of it is because of my depression, and I just don't care anymore. Dealing with depression sucks. Because of it I haven't been challenging myself with school. And that's where my advice comes in. TRY YOUR BEST IN SCHOOL. Doesn't matter if you really hate going to school, or you hate the class, or the teacher, just do it to your best ability.  I didn't really try my hardest, and I knew I could do better. I let myself get distracted, and having depression worsened it. But now that I'm trying to get my life together, I regret it. Like if I just put what was left of my effort when I was at my lowest, it would have been fine. But I didn't. 

IN WHICH SHE ENDS THE YEAR WITH A BANG! (not really)

So it's finally over guys. I gained so many things from being in this program but I also lost something today. I'm going to miss staying in A101 during our own time (instead of spending them outside where I should be). I'm actually not satisfied of getting my "normal" life back, cause it won't fell normal (nah m'saying, LOL #NO). I'm honestly going to miss each and everyone of you guys. I still can't accept the fact that we are now going to high school (well 8th grade for you 7th graders). This was one of the best years I had in all my history of school years. I actually felt like I was taking the right path being here. Yes, there was moments when we all wanted to kill each other (it's a surprise that we hadn't all gone Hunger Games), but we all got along at every end of the day. So we're all a bunch of freaks forced to be molded together, but we all found similarities that caused us to become friends. Maybe some of our relationships are still awkward and not as deep as others, but i'm glad I got to know you guys. I'm glad I got accepted into the program. I learned more here than I could ever learn from a normal class. I'm going to carry on these things I learned here to the future. I wish I could have learned more. Mr. Ing, this was the first time I got a teacher like you. I get along with a lot of teachers and talk to them even when i'm not in class but you were something . . . but in a good way lol. I have a lot of teachers that praise me for doing good but you actually pushed us more than others because you know we could do much better than what we thought was our "best". 

There are too many highlights of this year to pin point individually. But I enjoyed retreat, because it was nice to not have any devices. We all had to find something to do so we weren't bored and that caused us to bond. I enjoyed playing the card games and crab hunting (ok maybe not so much when we had to kill them). I'm definitely going to miss having food served when I wake up. Sheila i'm still never forgetting the time when you opened the shower curtains while I was showering. Then we had the field trip to Ala Moana. That was fun guys. That was the longest I had ever gone shopping. The fireworks wasn't as extravagant as I thought it would be but looking back now it seemed very cool. Then we had small memories that happened in A101. For example today, I had never seen such hardcore musical chairs. That was the closest we had to a Hunger Games. 

The overall lesson learned this whole year is that everyone comes and goes into your life. There are multiple entrances and exits to go through, but it doesn't matter when they enter or leave your life but what matters is the time you spent with them. I know this is  a goodbye but not really. I hope I get to see you all again. I'll be seeing some of you next next year in high school and hopefully I get invited back. I'm going to cherish these memories with you all and I hope you do the same for me. 

period 6 (missing the other 2; Jah and Jayde)

the most intense musical chairs you will ever see

OUR TIME HERE HAS COME TO AN END!

So I'm at Tony Roma's guys and since it's graduation the food are like delayed, so I was like, I'm probably not going to have time to do it anyways so I'll just write it on my phone. Moving on, so we only have one more day of school left. I hope we stay in touch guys, I'm honestly going to miss each and everyone of you. No drift now. This quarter was a blast. A lot of things were done revolving around graduation. I still can't believe I graduated and now were going to highschool and I'm kind of scared (the whole 2 days after graduating kind of ruins the vibe though.) Summer is finally here but like I hate sweating so like can it snow? So this quarter we had recognition night, which went well buy could have been better. Then we finally had the actual graduation. The struggle this quarter was real, especially the Algebra final. I still haven't finished mines by the way. I'm glad I kept up with my grades, I would be so bummed out if I didn't get the grades I wanted because it's the last quarter and our last year in intermediate school. I'm sad this year is ending and I'm sad I didn't get my food yet while the rest of my table has there's. So towards the end of the year I actually made friends, and I started opening up to not just leadership people but outside as well. I have no idea if I'll make friends in high school. #hatingthatschoollife

I had so many highlights of this quarter but I'll be talking about graduation because now we have another 4 more years of school before we can actually start our lives. So like I know it's intermediate and there's still highschool and college graduation but graduating intermediate was like finally padding the "kid" phase. My lowlight this quarter wad the Algebra final. Yes I know you're sick and tired of me mentioning it but I seriously don't know half of the content on that test and like I'm pretty sure my score is going to be so low.

I also had many lesson learned this quarter but one that sticks out the most is that there are many chapters we have in our lives, many pages symblosing the days and tomorrows we still have so its okay to screw up once in a while. We're still young and learning so just do the best you can for now.

YOU GUYS LOOKED LIKE A WALKING RAINBOW!!!!

So the internet is really slow guys cause i'm staying at a hotel so just bear with me.This was a really awesome week, a lot of things we're done involving Graduation. So I had IDs this week, but no one is really buying, but you'll never know. So we had recognition night this week. It actually went well but it could have been better. Not really much is happening in my classes. In Algebra, we're now doing our finals and after two sessions i'm still in question 14. I don't think i'll pass guys. For English, we're not really doing anything, but we wrote a letter to someone we appreciate. In Science, we presented our projects. In Social Studies, we played Jeopardy! which I always enjoy. In STEM, we were going to do the paper towers but I didn't go cause I went to help with Graduation. My brother's birthday was this week, lol. We also had Graduation rehearsal. Oh and during Friday when we were walking someone said we looked liked a walking rainbow since we all had different colored shirts. We also collected canned goods and it was more than we expected. Guess what guys, were staying at a hotel. I have no idea what to talk about now. 

So my highlight of this week was today at the hotel. We went to this cool restaurant and the theme was just really awesome and I think i'll go back there again. We went swimming and we went to the hot tub and we ruined this couples moment, lol. We had a reflection and it was actually . . . fine. Another highlight of mines is my brother's birthday. So we bought this game for my PS3 but the disc isn't working and he ended up crying himself to sleep.

The lesson learned goes for my dad but the game we bought we were planning on return but my dad might of have thrown away the receipt so . . . 

IS THAT JAYDE ON THE PHONE? "THIS IS APRIL, HOW COME YOU NEVER ANSWER MY CALLS BUT YOU TALK TO MALIAH, HUH!!!!" OKAY, I'M DONE.

This was actually a pretty good week. So we had recess music this week and don't you hate it when people complain about music, so rude. Be grateful were actually doing this for your entertainment. My classes this week was ok, I guess. In Social Studies we just watched a movie called "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and answered some questions about the movie. In Science, were doing a group project about one of the celestial components of Earth and explain how it's a unified system and stuff. In Algebra, we did some work and then we had a free class day on Friday. In STEM, my group had to present our houses to the class and then for the rest of the class were doing our reflections about our experience in STEM. In English, we just went to the computer lab and did our STAR test and Achieve3000 test (does anybody actually go on teenbiz?). I also had the McNite this week Wednesday. I didn't expect that much people to actually come and play our games. Oh gosh, while doing this McNite thing, we had people outside the drive through with a box for donations and this band parent did the same thing and like told us to go away and that they were here first and they also like put donation boxes at the cashier. That lady was impossible, we like explained that our organization, NJHS, planned this whole thing and that the band was only getting a portion of the profit but like she was being such a female dog about it and saying we need to leave the drive through area and that it was like the Bands stuff. So yea Ms. Seigaku had to go and talk to her and even Mr. Hayashi didn't know about her and like had to apologize to us after. We also had Jamba Juice sold during Friday. Then the long planned Period 6 sleepover finally happened. Lol, you don't know how long we said we would do this but like it never happened until now. So like at Friday we all walked to Korey's house then Jah's and i'm pretty sure I got a blister, thankfully, Jah's mom drove us to Maliah's place. 

I actually have 3 highlights from this week. First would be from one of my leadership periods. Jah was practicing her speech and she had to call out names and my name was first and when she called it out Jayde was like "YEAAAA!!!!", lol idk it was funny. Then we took polaroid pictures and when it was Laila and Korey's turn it came out blank. Coincidence? I think not! Then on Wednesday we had McNite, just the whole was actually really fun. Towards the end when we all finished working we went to the drive through for the donations and like everyone was just crazy. Then on Friday we had the official Period 6 sleepover. We had to walk to everyone's house and people from school was at Jah's place and it was awkward. We were playing foosball and Korey and I actually won (ok so maybe there was some cheating involved). While waiting for Jayde we lost Jah in the process. Then we played Just Dance on the Kinect and we ate most of the time actually. Korey, Maliah and I played in the sprinkles at night. Then we watched a movie and I was so tired from walking that I fell asleep and when I woke up this morning my whole body was tired. Then we made breakfast and we burned everything. We took a walk this morning and we lost Jah and Jayde again. When I got home I was so tired that I went back to sleep.

The lesson learned this week is that I should just stick to academics cause I suck at athletic things lol. It's pretty self explanatory really. I actually wanna play a sport and like do stuff but like I suck and all. So it's not by choice, I think. 

WE ARE PERIOD 6!

that award company thing has really sassy packaging, polaroids, mcnite

I GO VISIT OLD PEOPLE.

I am so sorry my title sounds mean but I actually had a good time. To start of this week, I had lunch music, I don't really remember much about work though (besides the fact that it wasn't working during Monday). For my classes, in Science, we had HSA and my score . . . lowered. UGH! But at least I passed, but it was around the 320's. For Social Studies, we had group work about the compromises and we did a section assessment. In STEM, we tested our houses and we got the best efficiency with 14.35%, I think, but it was around there somewhere. Then in English, we presented our speech about that genocide in Darfur, Sudan. In Algebra, we went back to doing our usual stuff. But the Finals are coming up soon and i'm pretty sure i'm going to fail! Then for my Leadership period, we finished up our reflections for our boards. Ok so i'm pretty sure that's all my classes, (oh gosh, I just noticed I use the words "pretty sure" in my blog too much). This week was a very productive week for me because of NJHS. So Megan and I are in charge of basically every activity (because our President and Vice President do so much, NOT!), so we always have to do the preparing and planning. So all the games in McNite, we have to build the booths, with the help of the members of course. MAKE SURE YOU GUYS COME!!! Last Friday night (lol yup Katy Perry reference), I went Graduation shopping and I saw Megan, lol. Today, I also went to a senior care home.

My highlight of the week was going to Franciscan Vistas Ewa. The wonderful lady that I got to visit was Mrs. Agustin ( i'm hoping I spelled that right). She was really nice and her husband was pretty funny. The place was also beautiful. After visiting them, I felt so relaxed and peaceful and happy. I don't know man, there something about visiting senior housings because its so quiet and there so fun to talk to. It's sad that their children don't even visit or call them. I was doing this for my community service project but I would actually like to visit them for fun. 

The lesson learned this week that stood out the most was "hardships mature you". I learned this from visiting the senior home. She was talking about her past life and she said that kids nowadays aren't mature as the kids back then since we got things easy for us. She was from the Philippines and she lived in the country side. It was sad when she talked about that.
