I.. obviously need to start blogging again.
Today was pretty average. I didn't do anything that great. In French, our videos were due. We watched Kevin's groups first and then we watched ours. Their's was soooo funny. I loved it. Kevin was so darling as Nicolas. Their movie was really cute. Then I begged them not to show ours yet but they over powered me. haha.. It wasn't as terrible as I thought to watch it so soon. It was really good actually. Lots of people liked it so that was good. It was so freaking sad. I wanted to cry. It was a flashback/reunion type thing. We planned it last year. Gosh I'm going to miss making French videos. Madame told us to come back this time next year and see it again or make another one. =)
.. And in journalism today, Lenny, Fran, and I, 06 Unioners were cleaning up the alias. Where we store everything. The file was a mess and was called "Union 2003-2004" haha.. Anyways. We changed all that and got rid of a whole bunch of junk. We also prepared all the folders for next year. I can't wait. Finally there will be things to actually do. WEEEEEE!
Anyways, why I just decided to finally blog..
I was just sitting in my nice ugly but comfy chair and looking at things around my room and on my desk. Then I passed by this tennis ball I have on my shelf. It signed, "David '04." It was from my dad's friend's son named.. David, obviously. I got it from in in Australia. My sister and I had to go to my dad's friend's house for some reunion type party thing because my dad was in town. And of course, me being me, didn't want to be there a single bit. It would've been just like it is here when we go to parties. A room full of old working Vietnamese men talking really loudly and drinking their Tsing Tao or wine and finally eating something like 2 hours past dinner time. My sister and I really didn't want to go, especially cause we had plans to go out with my cousins (Henry was suppose to take me out to play tennis on the grass courts!!!!). We went anyways and sat around doing nothing for about an hour. My sister and I met this litter girl named Linda and we chatted with her while watching TV. Anyways, like always, there was a "kids" table where you sit if you're not middle aged, basically. There was David and Anthony, my sister and I, and Linda waiting to eat. It was a little awkward cause we didn't know each other, but then I think Anthony started talking. It was really funny.. They were first surprised to hear that we were from America. It was like a shock to them or something. They spent some time just pondering the thought. We asked them what they thought of Americans and stuff and we just talked the rest of the time. After dinner they took us down to their study where Linda jump roped and David did his sketches for school and Anthony went on the computer. Gosh they were so awesome. David went to university there and he study interior design and he told us how he had designed some of the furniture in the room we were in. And he showed us all this graphic art stuff he did. I wanted to take it, seriously, they were sooo pretty. Anthony was playing the guitar and asked us what song we wanted to hear. He played John Mayer for us which was pretty cool. Then he left and David told us about his obsession with Jason Mraz. He had like concerts on his computer. It was pretty awesome. Then he tossed me a tennis ball cause he remembered I said I liked to play tennis. And he signed it and jokingly said "keep it in case I become famous one day." It was pretty nice of him. And the rest of the time, we just watched Linda counting her jumps. It turned out to be such a nice night. Gosh I freaking miss those days. Those days when I was just placed in the middle of a city in a continent 7000 miles away from home and meeting people I've never seen before. And all of them were so freaking nice. It was strange. None of them gave me a bad first impression. They were all sooo laid back and all so generous. Gosh and I LOVED their accent. GEEEEEZ. I miss that place. :( TAKE ME BACCCCKKK.
Surprisingly though, I remembered dying to come back home. Our flight was canceled and we had to bum off another one which I settle with, not without a fight though. But we could've stayed there at least 2 more days. I remember I wanted to cry.. or, I did cry. I couldn't wait to leave. I'm such a dumbass.
ANYWAYS. Eight more days of school. Hot freaking damn. I can't believe it's over already. But I'm glad to get out of that place and enjoy the summer. For the meantime anyway. And I have to spend as much time as I can with my sister before she leaves for China. She's going to be gone for 6 months!!!! =O I can't believe it. I have to be home.. by myself.. for the whole summer. How sad. I won't have anyone to talk to at all. NOOOOO. SISSSY! =:( This summer better be good. I need to study for SATs and stuff though. And take Physics at Mission and do work for math and gov. Greaaaat...
I want to play tennis. I should play tomorrow. Oh but I think I have to do that extra credit math thing. Mr. Cox is crazy. He should give us a hell of a lot of extra credit. A 5-7 powerpoint presentation and handout notes. We're basically saving him 3 days of talking and he gives us one percent. That poo head.
I really need to clean up my room. It's a mess. I want to take a nap.
Okay so I take down one of my SAT books for kicks and and "Sydney: The Official Guide" plops down on my desk. Gosh I would kill to go back there. (okay, not really kill but you get my point.)
My dad cut the cable cause it costs way too damn much and we don't watch it very often anyways but I'm starting to feel the pain. No Grand Slam Tennis. No tennis, at all. No new episodes of Monk Sunday after noons. No West Wing 7pm weekday nights. No cheesy crappy MTV shows. No movies on USA. No That's so Raven or any other awesome kiddy movies on Disney. No Headline News. No CNBC. No MSNBC. Gosh it hurts. :( I've already watched the whole first season of Monk cause I've been so cable-less.
I think I've blogged enough. I'm waiting for Kev to call. He said he'd call after he ate. Or, at least thats what I thought. And that was 2 hours ago. =P byyyyyyyyyyyyyeEEEEE. Off to do the.. eveningly (shower, eat, homework).
