JUNIOR YEAR (and secret 24?)

Okay so I'm just gonna talk about my whole junior now -__-
And try hard not to make emoticon faces! ><

So hm. I'm going to talk about academics first.

Photography - was a class I was very excited for in the beginning of junior year. The first day of school I only knew two people - Christine and Cindi, who were both seniors. It was very awkward because I didn't really know them. And first semester photography was a huge bore. We barely did anything. Everyone really wanted to start using the cameras. And when we did start using the cameras, I became quickly bored of them. The world isn't black and white, and I'm really sick of old-fashioned photography right now. If I had knew then, I would not have taken this class. It was somewhat a waste of time. The only good thing about the class itself was probably having time to sleep and do homework during the first class of the day, and that I got super close to Cindi heehee.

APUSH. DUN DUN DUNNN. The true reason I took this class was because I hoped I could waive off classes for college to save money and just not have Belshe -___- (so yee I lied to.. some people .__.). I also enjoyed studying politics, but not so much history. I remember the first/second day of school, when Mrs. Platt was saying how as long as we are devoted, APUSH shouldn't be too hard. And so I was like YEE. I can do this. Haha yea right -___-... I'm super close to an A right now, and like 12% of it is all EXTRA CREDIT xP. And I really need a superb score on today's reel final in order to get it to an A. If not, then -_- whatever. Mrs. Platt was an awesome teacher! I want her to sign my yearbook but it's kind of embarrassing -___- I'd like to sign hers, but I have no right for her to sign my yearbook. Okay I just made like a billion computer faces again.

APBIO. I thought would be fun. I THOUGHT I liked Bio a lot, but each semester I kept ending up with like 89.4 and 89.3. And Mrs. Chow rounds an A to at least 89.5 so that's some major fail right there. I did enjoy how Chow was easy on tests and such, but regarding the actual BIO AP TEST, I pretty much failed it -__-. I learnt that as much as you need to study, you have to SLEEP, TOO. I only had like 4 and a half hours of sleep before the AP bio testing, and it was real difficult for me to process all the test questions in my mind. But it was real fun cause I sat next to a close friend of mine xD Though she was a distraction, it was fun haha. I'll miss bio I guess.

MATH.
RETARDED.
I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER IT SO I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT.

American Literature -__-... Okay so I knew Mrs. Evard wasn't a very good teacher, but I have an A this semester so whatever xD I got really close to someone in this class, and got to know a few people better. It was pretty fun I guess. We got to do whatever we wanted like half the time haha. I just wish my math teacher and literature teacher were more organized on their curriculums. I can't take teachers seriously if they don't take teaching seriously, and I'm not blaming them for my bad scores. I was really hoping that my math and literature class would help me for SATs this year, but that definitely was not that case.

JAPANESE: I learnt a LOOOOOOOOT. Mrs. Howard is a really good Japanese 1 teacher! But I hear that afterwards, she kind of doesn't know what she's doing. But yee I learnt a lot in Japanese 1! I got close with two seniors, and some of the freshmen in that class were real chill too ;] Tomorrow's our final... I guess I should study SOMEthing -___-

So that's it about classes. If I have anything else, I'll add to it.

Regarding myself in general.

I definitely changed a LOT. Much more obsessed about the way I look, and cautious of the people I hang around. My interests have changed a lot, but mostly shaped by the new people I hung out with and SATs -__-... I guess I decided to American-ize myself for a bit, to become more interested in APUSH and SATs and stuff, which I guess kind of worked and I wasn't always distracted by asian entertainment and news all the time. Except that I got sucked into Kpop -__-.. thanks Yahni and Cindi and Christina and Vicky and Jessica XP. But if I didn't have a celebrity crush in certain kpop groups, I wouldn't be obsessing over Kpop at all xP. Omg and I HATE Taiwanese dramas right now haha. SO CHEESY OMYGOODNESS -____-....... Makes me want to PUKE. I don't think I'll watch ANY dramas ever again. Actually, I like that mini drama that 2pm did, though heehee :3 Maybe cause I'm just blinded by the love of Nichkhun @__@

Yee and because of all this
MY CHINESE HECKA DEPROVED. From now until Taiwan, I'm only going to be focusing on CHINESE. CHINESE CHINESE CHINESE. CHIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESEEEEASASASASASAA.

Regarding myself spiritually,
I have also changed a lot. I definitely feel like I've grown a lot through God. I was baptized this junior year, and D; here's my secret of the day: I still have much guilt that I need to clear of. I need to talk to a few people about the things I did or the things I'm confused about. But I had quite a few first-hand experiences with God, and got closer to people who are also growing in God ^^; I also got a friend to come to my church for VBS, so I'm pretty happy about that. I've stopped lying. Mostly. I don't know if that counts or not. It'll be like.. "I drink tea". but then the whole truth would be like.. "I drink tea that was illegaly sold" -__- or something. So I guess I need to fix this.

OH YEEE.
I also liked a guy for the fourth time in my life! LOL My standards are so freakin high -__- and every time I let go of some guy, my standards become even higher x___x but I kind of willed myself to like him so I was also able to will myself to stop. I actually stopped liking him for no particular reason.. kind of. I was just like, TIFFANY - STOP. And I did HAHAHAHAHA. But for some reason I feel that feeling coming back x_____x rawr. But he was also the crush I liked for the shortest time. The past three dudes I liked for almost two years @___@ and this dude I only liked him for likeee uhh. 7 or 8 months hahaha. But I would definitely say that junior year was kind of fun liking a guy hahaha even though I didn't have any classes with him x__x whatever.

D; Well to sum it all up, junior year was pretty hectic - academic wise and relationship wise. I kind of got lazier but I kind of accepted myself the way I was -__-. I became much more open, and much less shy, even though I still am shy towards strangers. I got real closer with certain people, and stopped talking to some so as a result, friendships withered. But I am definitely happy with my life right now. I guess I still have this sort of be my own best friend mentality. It wasn't even a phase of life - it was a state of mind. And I guess this is just the sort of person I am because I feel so much more myself this way and not suppressed in any manner. And as my standards for guys have gone higher, so have standards for friends, and so it's real hard for me to trust people now.

But senior year will be a clean new slate! New classes - new people - new life!
HOO. HA. YOU WISH YOU WERE A SENIOR!! [not after the new juniors kick our butts *O*]

And I will miss you, fellow seniors T^T.
You guys better not have fun in college so you will come back for the fun here LOL x]

goodbye to my naive self,
Tiffany.
