Lock-picking skills increased by +1

Lol, my brother came home and showed me his handcuffs, and I asked him if we could try to pick them. Out of my thousand attempts to pick one of them (and after my brother showed me a million times how to), I finally succeeded……………………….. once.

It’s good to know if I’m ever kidnapped and handcuffed somewhere, I’ll just get out a dandy ol’ bobby pin, somehow majestically bend it without pliers, then fiddle with the cuffs for hours on end until I’m set free.

Lover’s Carvings (Chateaubriand Remix) | Bibio

These past few days have been quite beautiful. The impending doom of another round of SATs does not/will not plague me. Well, not until Friday night, I suppose. I’ve really let myself loose the past few days. A little too loose, if I said so myself. No beach bod for me this summer, HAHAHHA. Anyways, I have much to do this summer… 

  • Support Workdaysstarting June 12th, every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12:00-3:00PM
  • Summer Leadership Camp?!?!?! I still need to pay for this… kind of excited for the planning though! 
  • AP Government Summer Assignmentjournal of 3 different (domestic/economical/international) events a week
  • AP English4 books + 1 extracredit book, literary assignment, allusions assignment, & personal statement
  • AP Art Historypaper on El Greco’s Flight into Egypt (4-5), paper on Goya’s The 3rd of May (5-6), paper on the Louvre and its art (6-8), paper discussing two artistic movements (8-10), paper on art of my own culture/heritage (3-5), & a presentation on a non-European artistic tradition

Besides what I’m obligated to do this summer, I also want to…

  • Train with Kamille in doubles?! 
  • Workout?! I’d really like to do CACC next year! Or be able to run a really fast mile or something…. just something to make me feel physically accomplished! I kind of laugh at this summer goal/desire because just two hours ago I rejected Kamille’s offer to do p90x with her. ;D 
  • Ponder about what I want to be in the future. Time is ticking! 
  • Get rid of my undeniably horrible farmers tan…
  • Watch tons of movies
  • Read lots of books …….. must hit at least 6 books so I don’t disappoint Mrs. Black. :c
  • Get a job?!?! Very unlikely, but still a possibility…

So many things I’d like to do this summer! I was actually looking forward to an uneventful summer, but I guess I can’t laze around as much anymore!

Officially Missing You | Jayesslee

  • gatsby: hey i just met you
  • gatsby: and this is crazy
  • gatsby: but i'm going to spend most of my life and wealth in an attempt to pursue you for your stunning vapidness and the warped image of yourself created in my mind as a precursor to my eventual fall
  • gatsby: so call me maybe

I went to visit my Christopher/Davis teachers today with Joseph and David! Pretty nostalgic, if I said so myself!

We walked into Christopher’s teacher’s lounge to visit all the teachers during lunch. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE WERE ECSTATIC. Mainly because as an elementary student, the teacher’s lounge was a sacred&off-limits place.

Visiting the library was probably one of the biggest indicators that we’ve grown, both physically and mentally. I remember the library used to seem so huge, and the bookshelves were taller than me! Now, I can basically rest my arms and head on the top of the bookshelf! And Mrs. Gray, the librarian, looked the same as ever! She was still the sweet librarian that read books to us all the time! :>

We also visited Mrs. James (despite the last name, she’s asian)! It’s weird to think that she teaches kindergarten now, instead of 2nd grade. I remotely remember a day where my mom and I were talking to her, and my mom disclosed the fact that I thought she looked like this pretty Korean actress.. I was so embarrassed (even if I was only an eight or nine years old, so embarrassed that she found out..). She’s a wonderful person though! Plus, without her, Joseph probably wouldn’t have been in the class of 2013, but the class of 2014! 

We also came across Mr. I and Mrs. Mabanag’s classes practicing for the upcoming luau next Thursday at 7:00PM! I actually still have my luau video, if anyone wants to see it.. It’s like two hours long though, so I don’t know if anyone would want to see it.. I think I’ve watched it at least three or four times in the past six to seven years? It’s just something I like to rewatch when I get nostalgic!

After a while, we just decided to go visit some Davis teachers… but we didn’t really feel like getting arrested for hanging around campus during school hours so we ended up stopping by PE to watch PE teachers vs. students in a relay and then coming back after school got out. But duuuuuuuuuuude.. the new black female PE teacher was fast! SUPER FAST. We didn’t really get to visit anyone after though… Joseph got to talk to Mr. Morgan and David got to talk to Mr. Coleman! I got to talk to Mrs. Cicantelli again, haha! It’s funny how I didn’t really spend that much time in her class (compared to McCormack), but I feel like she’s the easiest to talk to! I think I’ve already mentioned this, but her son is also a senior at Lincoln… AND HE PLAYS V2 DOUBLES IN BADMINTON? How did I not see him? -__- She says that he might quit next year though because he doesn’t want to take up V1… Well, I’ll probably end up visiting her again sometime during the beginning of the school year!  

But anyways, it felt so odd telling all my teachers that I was an incoming senior. All of them made comments about time flying by so quickly! And it’s true! It feels like just a year ago I was an elementary school student, just a month ago I was a middle school student, just a week ago I was standing at the black gates of Oak Grove as a freshman, and just yesterday, I was a junior! Even if time flies by fast, let’s see what the next few days, weeks, months, and years bring me!

LET’S GOOOOOOO!

Can’t Take My Eyes Off You (Morten Harket) | Jae Park

(via kooms-lala)

I think it’s mandatory that I make at least some small comment about the graduating class of 2012. They at least deserve that much from everyone, if not more! I’ve watched some of these people grow up from tiny, adolescent teenagers (they looked pretty big to me though) into great men and women that can do so many grand things. Yes, I’m quite sad that the past three years have flown by so fast, but I think my excitement overpowers that feeling. I’m really excited to see where you guys go in your life! What great things you guys will do! But don’t be offended that I’m making my goodbyes with excitement, because there will always be that etching sadness that your guys’ presence will be missing at Oak Grove next year. WELL, CLASS OF 2012 (now class of 2016?), GOOD LUCK IN ALL ENDEAVORS AND ULTIMATELY… good luck with life. I hope whichever road you guys take will lead you to your happiness! 

Congratulations, Oak Grove Class of 2012!
