DEAD week!

OMG! Its like dead week already and its not even the actual finals week yet!! :( I hate finals! It's so much studying and tests and stuff. I hate how they're all bunched up together. I don't even know which subject to study in anymore!! But i'm glad that we have dead week BEFORE our winter break because I'd rather stress about it and die BEFORE my vacation than during my break. I can't wait until winter break! I plan to go to the BBC with my friends and play a little badminton and then maybe go ice-skating at Downtown SF :) My friend says that you have to pay 15 dollars to go ice-skating outside. Sounds like fun even though that is so expensive :(

Oh! and in chem Mr. Olson showed us this "Mole Song" :)

What a horrible day :(

So last night me and my friend walked to my other friend's house which we had like no idea where the address is and how to get there. But we had a video project due the next day and there was no other way. We called my friend a million times but she still didn't pick up her stupid cell phone! So we called another friend and asked her for directions and when we got to her apartment, we didn't know how to get in since the door was locked and the caller box thing was broken. But we atleast got the room no. which was next to the door. When we saw a lady walking around, she opened the door for us and asked who we were looking for. We were able to get to my friend's door and it turns out that she was sick and was sleeping the whole time! GRR. Then there was something wrong with the stupid video project and at 9pm, she said that she'll figure out a way to get the project done for tomorrow.

The Next day, when the teacher asked us about our dvd, my friend said that it didnt work and something went wrong! Thats when i thought that i shouldnt have procrastinated...... :( and during math, i got my quiz and test back and i found out that i failed them both!!!!! I hate my life D: FML.

Black Friday = WAR

The day after thanksgiving is black friday! Which is when all the stores are on sale and there's a crazy battle between people that want to buy things. On black friday, I watched a movie and then went shopping at Serremonte! My family and I LOVE to go shopping but we don't really go crazy like those people who wait outside Bestbuy or Walmart at midnight the night before. We went around lunchtime and came back home around 6 or 7pm. I bought a lot of new clothes and stuff :D but now i'm poor and broke. No more movies or going to the BBC for me anymore! After a long day of shopping, my sister suddenly said that she felt like eating sushi for dinner so we all went to a sushi place. I think Black Friday was more fun and entertaining than the actual Thanksgiving Day.

I am thankful for....

Last Thursday was Thanksgiving! YAYAYAY! and that means we had a 4-day weekend. On Wednesday, i had to stay after school with my friends to do some stupid video project for english. :( but we were mostly fooling around and laughing and chatting instead of actually working on the project so that was fun! On Thanksgiving, my family and i didnt really do anything special. For dinner instead of mashed potatoes and turkey, we ate chicken and rice. Same as usual and at noon, we went to play badminton and stuff! :D My family doesn't really celebrate thanksgiving and I like chicken better than turkey anyways so my thanksgiving was okay x).

Veteren's Day = Holiday!

We haven't had a holiday in a long long LONG time. so when it was veteren's day, i FINALLY got to rest. Thats what i thought but my dad came back the day before and he unpacked all his stuff. I think i'm allergic to dust because the next day, i couldn't stop sneezing! and my dad thought i caught a cold too so he kept on saying that i didnt wear enough clothing or layers. but now i'm better after taking allergy pills :)

My Car Broke Down :(

So last sunday, my family and i were getting ready to go to church in the morning as usual. But when my mom turned the key, the car made a weird sound and then completely died. We tried again about a million and one times but the car still did not work. So we skipped church and my mom went to get the car checked out. Then i remembered i had to buy something at walgreens! My house is pretty far away from downtown Millbrae.... but i still had to walk there. I think that was the high light of my day.... Oh! and at 5 o'clock-ish, i went to play tennis with my mom... Then i realized that the sky would get darker around 5:45 so i didnt really get to play that much x(. And also after eating 3 pieces of halloween candy, i feel full and don't really feel like finishing my other pieces of candy.

I'll sit on the front porch all night,
Waist deep in thought because when I think of you.
I don't feel so alone."

The Visible Spectrum Lab

I think i killed a lot of trees trying to do this project right. When we were in the library, i kept on getting the instructions to this project wrong! I forgot to put the legend on one of the copy, the graph on another copy was too small. Even when i had to finish the graph at home i still messed up! I forgot that unlike the printer at the library, my printer at home does print in color! so i had to reprint it and this time i made it in black and white :). Luckily this project is due on Thursday because on Tuesday, i found out that i did my pie chart wrong! URGH! instead of making all the pieces of the chart equal like i was supposed to, i put in the data for the "peaks" and that made the pieces uneven so i had to redo that! Now i finally have all the papers done correctly.... i hope >.<.

Halloween :)

Last saturday was halloween! At first, i didnt know my friends planned on going trick or treating until they called me. After i hung up the phone, i quickly looked for a last minute costume. When we came across this one house with a lot of palm trees, we saw this man holding a syche. Me and my friends weren't sure if he was real and when my friend's brother said that he was, i turned to face to front. Then i heard my friend scream and i turned my head to see the man RUNNING at me with the syche. i just stood there screaming while my friends ran the other way :P. Afterwards, we went back to my house and traded candy, played cards using our candy as bets, and had a candy fight!

Flame Test

Usually adults would tell kids to NEVER play with fire. But on wednesday, we did a flame lab. At first i was kind of scared because i don't usually like working with fire. But as we did the lab, i saw how pretty the different colors of the flames are and i also tried to do it. It was very cool how there were many different pretty colors like red, green, purple...

Ouch!

So today during PE, my class was playing volleyball. Me and my other friend were bored and we started talking about how we both did karate for a while and then we quit. I was pretending to kick him and he told me a move where he would catch my foot with his hand and then use his foot to attack my other foot, knocking me off balance and making me fall. So i argued that i could just use my two hands to keep my balance against the floor, upside down. He tried the move on me and...... i fell :(. I fell on my knee that had a still- healing wound too! When i got up, many people asked if i was okay. Apparently i had made a very loud THUMP as i hit the floor. xD

The Dramatic Einstein movie

Yesterday and on Tuesday, we watched a movie in chem class. It was about Einstein and how he made his discoveries. At first, i thought it was going to be another boring documentary but once i heard the dramatic music when they showed the credits, i knew it would be a movie. Actually, it was kind of both. They had acting and it was kind of a documentary. I hope we get to finish the movie :)

ItsaTest and Unit 1 Test

On monday, my friend told me that Mr. Olsen's IsaTest is a makeup for the IsaQuiz. She said that we had to either take the makeup before or after school. We were prepared to do the makeup after school on Monday when my other friend said that it is NOT a makeup test but is like a makeup test which is supposed to be taken on Wednesday. Everyone has to take the Itsatest but if you got an A on the Itsatest then your grade for the Itsaquiz will also go up. I was SO mad at my friend because on Sunday, i studied until late at night preparing for the "makeup". GRRRR!

Constitutional Day!

Today is constitutional day! During history class, we watched a play that some students volunteered to do. Mr. Olsen was also in it too. He was wearing a wig and costume and everything. For the past few days, we've been learning about ions and elements and mostly about the periodic table. We had to do a webpage project for an element of the periodic table. Since my name is Nenette. I wanted an element that has similar symbol as my name, so i chose Neon. While doing the project, i found out many things about my element like what it is used for and how it was discovered.

The Unit Song

Today, my chem class did a lab where we were supposed to look at all the differnt patterns and trends of the periodic table. During this lab, i noticed many patterns of the elements that i did not know of before. A few days ago, Mr. Olsen made us record the Unit song. It was hilarious and fun. Mr. Olsen showed us the completed video and also the uncut scene from our class. It was great to see how people from other classes made their video and how creative their video was.

Chem Lab

Today is 8.28.09. It is currently 12:49 and i just had lunch. x) I am in chem class right now and Mr. Olsen told us to write about Chemistry. So far, we have done 2 or 3 labs in class. My favorite lab so far is the Penny lab. I had a lot of fun and i still kept the golden penny.
The second lab that we did was the guessing of the mass of objects. We would guess before we actually measure the volume or mass of the objects. I had fun guessing and realized that i am VERY bad at guessing things.xD

Penny Lab

Yesterday in Chemistry class, we tried to be alchemists and turn our pennies from brownish color to golden color. I knew that we didn't really turn our pennies into gold because if alchemists from years ago couldn't do it, high school students definitely cannot do it. But it was still pretty cool that i was able to change the color of my penny from brownish to silver to bright gold. x]
