We have about two weeks to read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and I don't think I can do it. :\ But from the way Voss has been talking about it in class, it sounds good.

My drawing in art doesn't look like the model, and I can't fix it. I like my progress on the shading though.

This week, I was able to enjoy a solid D grade in calc, but after today's free response & quiz, it's going to go down again. Packet is due on Monday for extra credit, but now I'm not sure if I want to turn it in early. Mrs. Guttal's going to test on similar problems from the packet, so maybe I should just keep it and study?

JLPT scores came out, and I did better than I thought I would. Only 5 points less than last year. :]
This year's SCTHJP t-shirt design has been decided, and Nicole's won for the second time in a row. Now I hope they'll come in some nice colors.

Finished watching Samurai High School.
Started watching Dragon Zakura again. xP
Waiting for Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge & Bloody Monday season 2. BM episode 2 is out now; I'm going to watch it soon.

Still haven't watched Ping Pong and the Chinese movie I got from the library, so I'm hoping I can renew them.

you are steelblue
#4682B4

Your dominant hues are cyan and blue. You like people and enjoy making friends. You're conservative and like to make sure things make sense before you step into them, especially in relationships. You are curious but respected for your opinions by people who you sometimes wouldn't even suspect.

Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it.

Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.

Gosh, I've waited hours for LJ maintenance to finish. -.-

1º - My essay on the rhetorical effectiveness of Einstein's letter was terrible. >.>;

2º - I really didn't feel like finishing my study of Louis (the model I'm drawing). I don't really see the point in going into so much detail when it's not even going to be the real thing. So I just stopped on the one I was working on, and started one with just his head. It still doesn't look like him. :\ I think it's mostly the eyes that I can't get right. Have to start on the actual drawing on Monday. I mustn't lag behind this semester! I think I just barely got that A- last semester.

3º - I thought for sure I'd fall asleep in history today, but since the remaining notes were so short, I didn't.. Got one bonus buck! :]

4º - Finally learning emotions/body parts in Japanese. New kanji as well~

I wasn't planning to do host a Japanese student this year, but now I'm thinking about it... I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish my homework those days they come, and that the experience will be so boring for them. At the end of the stay last year, I felt bad for not talking more, doing more. On the other hand, I would really like to see Yukari again. (I don't even know if she's coming actually, haha. I asked her, but she hasn't replied yet.)

5º - I'm starting calculus with a D this semester. Messed up the warm up today. Then I utterly failed the free response. It's ridiculous.. :< I told myself I would do better in this class this semester, but it's already starting off badly. I probably really have an F now.

6º - Mr. Nguyen spent quite some time reviewing this week's material. I slept through it. xP Quiz... wasn't as easy as I anticipated, but it was on the simpler side. I think I got some wrong. Finished on time though.

Called my mom in time to get a ride before she left for her orchid show-thing.
Stuffed my face when I got home. Ate a whole bunch of stuff but still didn't feel full. :\ So much junk.
Finished watching 憐 Ren, but I don't think I really understood it.
Found this one movie (animated) called 時をかける少女 The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. It was really good, though sort of sad.. I want to read the novel! But that would have to wait years because I don't think there's a translated version. They have a manga adapted from this film; I guess I could try to get to that. Maybe I can find it online. It seems rare at bookstores.

I haven't calculated my GPA until now. Nancy Le reminded me when she mentioned that she got a 3.8 first semester. So, unweighted (that means w/o the extra point for AP, right?), mine is 3.33. :\ That seems relatively bad. But if I just look at the grades individually and think about how difficult it was just to get/maintain those grades, it seems pretty good. Apparently, weighted, it's about 3.8, so somehow that was a bit of relief?
Either way, my parents know nothing of my grades. >_>; If they ever find out, won't they be shocked ..

It's been a nice extended weekend. Probably the most carefree weekend so far this year.. Possibly the last.

I've spent these last few days reigniting my PoT fandom by rewatching episodes, watching OVA episodes I didn't know existed, reading fanfiction, and drawing.

Today, I started reading The Lost Symbol, though I didn't get far.
Tried to scrounge up good fics to read but didn't really find any. :\
Drew some more today.
Read manga (Kimi ni Todoke & PoT). I remembered I didn't even finish reading the PoT manga series (even though I started the continuation of it). xP
Internet went down around 5:00, I think. I was going to start APUSH homework but didn't get the Internet back until around 8:00, so I was starting to draw again. Now I'm debating between drawing more or doing homework. = =

Start of a new semester. I must try harder, work harder. I want to actually deserve the grade I get this time.

Overslept about half an hour this morning. xP
Calc final: multiple choice seemed fairly simple. Failed the free responses though. -_- So in the end, I got a solid D on the exam. I was glad it only brought my grade down .01%. But then! She scaled it and made it out of 400, and as a result, my grade went down even more. T__T
Physics: Even woooorse! I feel like I totally failed. I still don't understand the 1D kinematic problems because I don't know which equations to use.. I left a lot of blanks and went back at the end, filling in random bubbles. @@ Someone cried at the end, either because it was so difficult or because she didn't really finish.. :<

After school, I stayed to do campus clean up. There was quite a lot of trash today. o.o I actually got two full bags and was going to go get another, but Ms. Guttal left her room. I only had about 5 minutes more to do, but since I couldn't get another bag anyway I just threw my glove away and washed my hands. I was kind of worried she'd left and my stuff was locked in the room for the whole weekend. o-o But to my relief, she came back. xD

Leaving school, I walked to Target to buy my memory card~ Finally! I was just playing around with my camera, taking a few test shots. Since it's dark, I don't really have anything to take pictures of. But I don't remember all the different things my camera can do, so I guess I'll have to review the booklet. Hehe
Although I wasn't in the mood during the second half of the morning, I went to Toppings. I almost didn't go, but I'm glad I did. :] Got a medley of flavors this time, and not too much. Mango, lychee, strawberry/raspberry, chocolate.

Walked home because I need to exercise more.

I've been watching Baba Toru movies on Tudou these past few days.. xP (Which is because I've sort of gotten back into PoT) Started 憐 (Ren) today, and I'll watch the rest tomorrow. Story is kind of strange; I'm not really sure about it. Oh well, that's what happens when I watch Japanese movies with Chinese subs. XD

Couldn't get myself up at 6. At least I heard the alarm. o.o Well, I'd better be able to get up tomorrow!
We made raisin bread last night, so I had some of that for breakfast. Yum~
Also watched 2012 last night.

Went to Costco this morning. Came home and ate Costco pizza.
Then went to Eastridge with my mom. We didn't buy anything though. :\ It felt like a waste of time.
Went to the supermarket before returning home.

I still have about 60 pages of Scarlet Letter left.
Finally pulled out my math homework and realized I only have 2 related rates problems left to do. I need help with those, but no one's really online. I think I'll put this aside and work on art for now?
I have around 12 questions left for APUSH. I've been finding it easier to do history homework than to do any other homework, which is kind of ironic. I wish I could always get myself to start history homework early.

Finals are in about a week and a half? I haven't studied anything. x__x I should have started because I know I won't have much time to do it this week.
I didn't start learning vocab. :<
I haven't watched dramas all this week.
Tomorrow, it'll be back to the stressful, not-getting-enough-sleep days.
