| I think its so surreal that after this year, each of us, our group of 10 buddies, friends will go on our own pathes. We have one last year together for life as we know it, and the first part of that is frantically making choices that impact the rest of our lives. In English, getting ready to write our personal essays is getting to be exciting, yet nerve racking. All these years, we've each spent countless hours studying for test, earning that GPA, spending countless hours studying/taking the SAT, ACT, SAT2, PSAT's, and what not, getting voluteer hours, making US stand out of a crowd and yet this essay may make our break us. Its pretty scary! :P Yet, it is senior year and after Novemeber, once all of this craziness is over, we'll have the best 6-7 months of school, spending time before we chose our own ways and start on a game of life! :)

| So today, at Elite we finished our Critcal reading section a bit early so the teacher goes, "Anyone have any questions?"
And this kid goes, "When did u graduate Highschool? '75?"
Teachers face  are you serious? you think im that old?
Class: Burst into laughter
Teacher:  and although he didn't really say anything, we could all tell he was pretty sad about it.
Oh well it was funny!
Oh yeah!!! and there was this kid who had written an SAT essay on how the Jew's desereved what Hilter did to them for the following two reason:
1. They didn't not stand up for themselves, they had outnumbered the german army by a noticable margin. He quotes Eli Whitney from Night when he describes the terrible atrocities that Eli sees at his time there, and he doesn't stand up to the Germans.
2. They didn't ask for help, they could have called the USA or Russia or someone to help them.
The flaws with his essay:
1. THERE WERE MANY REBELS FROM CONCERATION CAMPS, and most of which failed, and resulted it even more lives lost.
2. THE USA did not want to enter another war, and there was no way that any other countries would get inolved.
3. HE MAKES HITLER SOUND GOOD, AND IS EXTREMELY RACIST!
yeah, just thought it was interesting that a kid could write something like for an essay and even expect to get a good score, and this same kid did the same thing with Satlin writing about how he was a good man by killing off the weak, using darwin's theory of natural selection as his evidence. -_- guess this kid doesn't understand that making dictators sound good is not good for his essay.
haha and my friend just said this to me which i found to be pretty funny.
Chia: I hate when I'm at weddings and old people come up to me and say "your next"
Tom: haha,, LMFAO
Chia: but they hate it when we are at funerals and i say "your next"
hahahaha!!!!

| I'm here blogging because i have nothing better to do.. I mean im getting internet, but its not letting me connect to programs that require the internet, stupid sbc probably had a big inter nap crash somewhere -__-
anyways, Elite is boring as usual. But it totally sucks that our vocab teacher makes the person with the lowest grade sing a song because like for the 3rd day in a row 2 people had to sing when they got 38/40 which is a freaking 95% and so like now everyone studies and its so stressful because if like your unsure of just one question you may have to sing!!! its that lame!!! -_- so studying vocab words has become one of my priorities, but its still mostly familiarize myself with the words for an hour the night before, and then cram in my witting class right before the vocab quiz. hehe.
Soo, i find this idea from our school really interesting because instead of them sending us forms to fill out, they are giving us a link to this website where we can access these forms, fill them out, print them out, and then sign whatever needs to be signed. This is our schools way of saving money because instead of them wasting money and ink, they force the students to waste their paper and ink! what an ingenious idea!!!! =D Stupid "budget cuts" too asian of a school -_-
