HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!! *belatedly...*

soo...i'm finally getting around to writing a "2005 review" post *cuz everyone else is doing it, and i'm just a sheep like that >.< lol* here goes...

2005
January-June: well, finals for first semester, and then second semester. basically, hell. yea, i wasn't too fond of junior year - grades slipped in ap calc and ap physics. (i still claim the slip in ap physics was unavoidable! i mean, do you know how hard it is to focus in that class?!?! do you?!! and calc ~ 3 years with morris!! i think anyone who manages to surive even if i barely did 3 years with him should get some kind of reward/award!) the seniors, however, provided endless amusement and entertainment in those two classes, so they were barely tolerable. not many, if any, social problems during these months...(that i remember anyways; and if i don't remember, who cares, right? advice: if you did somehow piss me off during this time, don't remind me now - that would just be a stupid move) oh, the best part of June: i officially became a SENIOR! class of 2006! (finally! what took so long?!)

July: ANIME EXPO 2005!!! honestly, the highlight of the year - so important that July gets its own paragraph! i'm so glad sarah convinced me to go and helped me find a place to stay all four days!! seriously, i owe you so much!! let's do some math now (hah! and me just raging against math...oh, the irony of life kills me): 4 days of Anime Expo = 96 hours of fun = Dealer's Room + Karaoke + Arcade + Seki Tomokazu + Kotoko + Maaya Sakamoto + new friends = 15 hours of sleep for me (math can be fun!...if you add in some anime ^_~) i can't wait for AX '06! i'm even thinking about cosplaying...O__o yup yup

August: not as eventful as July, but it get's it's own paragraph just because it's a loner month and doesn't fit with the following ones. anyhoo, so this month was mostly full of DDR, losing weight, wasting investing money on shopping, figuring out how to sign up for Japanese at SMC, finally managing to sign up for Japanese (now there's something good in this month), rushing to finish the summer homework assigned (i'm still wondering why the hell we get summer homework...), and school starting for the first time in august (now that just sucked). OH! and how could i forget the most important thing? I GOT MY LICENSE ON AUGUST 1, 2005!! on the first try, one day before my permit expired oh yea, that's luck skill ^_^

September: school getting into full swing. senior year officially starts. i have the stereotypical senior attitude - "damn freshman/sophomores/juniors/underclassmen in general." i can't wait to leave. ok, honestly, i don't hate underclassmen - i actually have quite a few friends younger than me. but, people, DON'T JUST STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HALLWAY!!! MOVE!! and for all those people that walk slower than turtles - you realize it's all your fault that we now have tardy sweeps; it's cuz you couldn't get your asses to class on time. admittedly though, not everyone at fault is an underclassmen. there are some really stupid seniors, i'm ashamed to say. you guys give us a bad name. *wow...i didn't realize i had that much anger towards some of the people at school. huh, go figure* anyhoo...i start gaining some of the weight i worked hard to lose because i have too much work to do and not enough energy to excercise every day (this just gives me another reason to dislike school...). also the time to start thinking about applying to college. oh joy.

October: i realize i want to go to University of Pennsylvania. like, number one wanna go. i decide to apply early decision. i attend many college conferences (with the added benefit that i get to skip a few classes - it's all for the sake of my future, i tell you!) halloween: i hate halloween. i'm not kidding - i try to avoid it like the plague, but it's pretty hard to avoid a holiday (try it some time - see if you have any more luck than me) halloween also sucked cuz i was dragged to the Gay Parade, which normally i wouldn't mind, except that this particular halloween night was the night before my Penn app was due. not a smart move on my part. any fun i might have had there was overshadowed by the pressing deadline. pissed off for a couple days (thank you, heidi, for answering your phone at 11:30pm and listening to my rants and hysteria. i owe you, big time. love you~~!!)

November: the first day of the month, and my Penn app is due. thanksgiving: i spent it home alone while my family was in San Francisco. all by choice - ironically, one of the most peaceful times i've ever had. i love my family, really i do, but i have to say that it was nice not to be bothered for 2 days or so. November was full of emotional break-downs, too. thank you, vivian, for wasting all your minutes on me. have i mentioned how much i owe you? love you~~!! this was probably the most dramatic month of 2005. i think i broke my previous record for breakdowns in a given time (though i have no idea what my previous record might have been - i haven't become so pathetic as to actually count how many times i break down in one month) social problems, academic problems, i was in the whole "life sux" mode. my previous entries are a testament to that turbulent time (wow, i'm suddenly using nice vocab. am i really that tired?) funny enough, before that time, i didn't post in my journals much (i don't think i'd even touched my xanga in a long time - and then suddenly it's full of rants O_O) and now i have a bunch of entries, most of which were posted in November, and now December with the coming of a new obsession...

December: I get rejected from Penn. ok, yeah, this is the first mention of the decision on my journals, just because i really didn't want to taint the happy feeling of my journals with a bunch of self-pity. i did enough of that in real life. thank you again to all my friends who helped me through that depressing time. *though i'm still debating whether i should thank you for all the chocolate you guys kept feeding me - i think i gained about five pounds >.< lol* man, i cried in every class the next day *it so didn't help that there was like at least one person in almost every class who had gotten accepted* >.< i hate crying in public ~ i like people to think i'm a happy person *though from the looks of the comments i get in my yearbook, that's how people see me anyways, despite my bitchy moments. surprised? i sure as hell was O_O* the good news about December: TVXQ/DBSG/DBSK/DONG BANG SHIN GI/KI whatever name you want to go by, they make me smile XDD ok, one more math lesson: pretty face + hott body = beautiful Jaejoong/Hero (math can also be fun if you throw in a few *5 or so is a good number...* bishounen XDD) again, heidi, i owe you big time - though in this case, maybe i should say i blame you?? cuz i'm spending way too much money on them - but i never had a boy band obsession before! *i was waiting for the right band ^_~ haha* so i'm allowed a little excess, right? ^_^ so now i'm eager to learn korean like NOW, though i'd originally planned to wait until college. psh, like precipitating my education in japanese wasn't enough of a surprise this year - i'm taking the initiative in my education! i wonder how many points that earns me with the college admissions...anyhoo, one more piece of good news: i got an A in japanese ^__^ *wahhh, DBSG are soooo hott when they sing in japanese!! i can never say this enough!!* and yea, i'm watching all their MVs while writing this horrendously long post...

ok, whew, that was long. when i say "year review," i really mean it, huh? sorry for all the side commentary, but that's how i talk, so yea lol. at least i hope some of the side comments made you guys smile ~ i don't mean to be funny, but people say i am anyways. who woulda thought it? O_o oh, and i just realized that July lost it's special status for getting its own paragraph and all. i guess there was just so much going on in each individual month *shrugs* July was still my favorite month (haha, though AX was only 4 days, i was on clouds for the rest of the month, into the school year~~) though December is fast catching up since it has DBSG in it lol.

sorry for taking up your whole friends page *though if you really think about it, it's all your own faults for adding me in the first place!! haha, jk jk, i love you all ^__^*

i wish everyone a happy 2006! yo! fellow seniors! we're almost outta here!!! XDDD

totally random side note: i'm falling for micky/yoochun!! but jaejoong/hero is still my #1!!! XDD *yes, i love them all, but hero's #1, and micky is slowly becoming a favorite too...wahh, but watching their MVs, i just really do love them all!! >.< !!! lol*

one more moment of randomness because i'm currently watching the MV for Whatever They Say (Acapella): damn, hero looks good in this video...XD
