First Day of Senior Year

. . . Kind of didn't go what I expected, but it felt like the usual I guess. I saw everyone again and some were surprised with my new haircut. Now let me start from the beginning.

So I was on the phone with Florisse until 2 am since she and I couldn't sleep at all. We only slept for about 3 hours. I woke up sometime around 5:30 am and slept in for 25 minutes. After that, I went to shower, eat cereal and wore the clothes I picked out for today. I left the house around 7:25 and walked to school for a good 5 minutes (good thing I live near or else I'd be lagging like crazy).

I arrived around 7:35 and walked towards homeroom. My former Government teacher Mr. Moy is my senior homeroom teacher for the rest of the year which is awesome because he's one of my favorite teachers from LAHS. He gave out our class schedule as he was giving information regarding our senior year and what to expect. I finally saw Melissa after 2 months of no communication due to her trip to Mexico. She said she called me last week, but I guess I was sleeping at the time and no one told me about it. It was good catching up with her about things.

Here's my current schedule in order which will probably change by tomorrow:

1. Service (TA) - Perez
2. AP Computer Science - Piedrahita
3. AP English Literature - McClure
4. Math Analysis - Krichevskiy
5. Physics - Carbonera
6. Economics - Moy

I'm planning to drop out of Math Analysis and switch Economics to 4th period. I found out I don't need Math Analysis if I'm going to take Psychology as my major for the college of my choice. I'll replace AP Comp. Sci with AP Statistics and take only 5 classes. That means I can go home early! YAY! I need a little more time to get my homework done early and make sure I'll balance well with the YDAPP internship.

I felt somewhat intimidated over AP English because of what McClure said over committing yourself into taking this course. I hope I'll manage to do well, even though the highest grade anyone can get is a C. McClure admitted he gave one person an 'A' last year and everyone else most likely had a C. I know GPA is important right now, but I'll might as well give this a chance. I'd rather not drop another AP class again and regret later. Besides, English is my strongest subject thus far. I'll have to learn to keep up with the pace.

I'll most likely keep Physics as well. It seems to be an interesting course even though math is involved. My teacher is Filipino and I didn't realize she would notice that I am too after talking about how hispanics's last name are much more easier to remember or pronounce compared to the Koreans because Filipinos were once taken over by the Spaniards. She's pretty chill and gave us a glimpse on what's going to happen later in the semester. I didn't notice that she's pregnant and said she'll be taking a month off next semester while bringing in a suitable sub to take over. There's a whole mess of students for this class. I think it's going to be shorter later on.

For Math Analysis, Dr. K made us introduce ourselves to the class. I was the first to be called and said my name, grade and current plans for college. As soon as I said my plans, Dr. K asked me if I knew which math to take in order to major in psychology. I remember Mr. Moy talked to me about it during lunch and it was Statistics. So my decision into taking AP Stats may just work. It's like, why do I need Math Analysis again (even though I failed a semester)? Bleh. His room smells the same like onions or something. Eww.

Everyone got their textbooks and mini homework assignments to get things started. I felt bad that my friend Lorenzo received 3 textbooks and just thinking on how he had to carry it throughout the whole day was pretty funny. There is a locker you know. I'm thinking of getting a locker too so I won't go through the same. My left shoulder is sore because my bag had my Math Analysis book in it. Ouch.

I wondered what happened with my friend Linda whom I have not spoken to since school ended. I came to realize that I have her for Economics and since I'm planning on switching periods, it sucks. I barely have a class with her and she and I have to talk more. I missed her so much.

During Physics, a lady from UCLA called me from restricted. I picked up and said that she was calling me during class and asked if she can call me later in the afternoon. What pissed me off was when she replied saying "Well then you shouldn't be answering your phone." It's like, YOU CALLED ME SO HOW WOULD I KNOW?! Gahhh -__- She even said it with a bitchy attitude. I dislike people who do such a thing, who doesn't? Next time, unhide your gawddamn number so I'd call back. It wasn't my fault it would be a rep from UCLA. Sheesh. Then again, I feel it's partly my fault too. Whatever. I bet she won't call me back as she said she would. I told Mr. Moy about it after school as we had a long conversation for more than an hour and he said she was being ridiculous.

I got home nearly at 5 pm and I'll start reading the first two sections from chapter one for Physics. Tomorrow, we'll be going into the math formulas. NOOO! & I need to purchase supplies for AP English and Physics.

That was my day. I'm still debating whether or not I should take another elective. I would take Philosophy, but the teacher who is in charge annoys me with her ongoing lectures, especially when I had her for AP World & US History. I'll set this one out.
