Epic Phail

I'm so bad at keeping up with things and updating. I mean seriously, January? I thought I would be rambling a lot more, but apparently not. But I guess school is a worthy scapegoat. Ain't it always? Well thank goodness it's ending in three days. My only final that I'm truly worried about is Pre-Calc. I don't understand it hardly at all. Especially all the trig crap. And verifications! Ugh. ULBRIGHT!!! -shakes fist angrily in the air- I wish I could be better at math, but I guess when you hate something in the first place, you won't put in enough effort to do good. That's what happened to me, sadly. I thought I could do okay back in the first two weeks of school, but then I suddenly caught the lethal disease that is Senioritis (and I'm not even a Senior yet!). Yeah, things crashed and burned from there on. I've pretty much stopped caring about math. It's not like I'm going to major in it or anything anyway...But I really need to good on my final because my semester grade is hanging on by a thread before it slips down to something I definitely do not want. Which, knowing my luck and intelligence, it will anyway.

Hahaha, Courtney and I just watched a bit of a clip from a "J-drama" (aka Japanese drama) called Hana Yori Dango, or Boys Over Flowers. Courtney and I have read most of the manga but watched pretty much all of the 52 part anime series, but now apparently they have a live action drama. It was so silly. Then again, the manga and anime themselves were pretty silly, entirely unrealistic, but we still love them. Anyway yeah, the tiny clip of the J-drama that we watched was really funny. Domyouji, the main love interest of the main character Makino, started beating up this little punk but it totally had all the fake punch sound effects! It was hilarious because it sounded so cheesy and you could completely tell it was so fake. One or two of them were even off, lulz. Then Courtney and I were convinced that we definitely need to watch the whole J-drama, if we could locate it somewhere on the internet, so we could laugh at the cheesiness of it all. Ah, the Japanese are so dramatic. But then I got to thinking, J-dramas are probably pretty much just like American soap operas. Also, I believe the Hana Yori Dango J-drama is squished down into 9 or so episodes, so it will definitely be interesting to find out how they do it, haha. Ah, but yes, shoujo mangas (shoujo, pronounced show-jo, meaning "girl") are all pretty unrealistic with their love stories and stuff. But they're still fun to read. Sadly enough though, the last time Courtney and I read any mangas was two years ago when I was a 9th grader at Stapley. The library had a great collection of mangas that was growing rapidly because so many kids had requested them. But of course Mountain View library is too cool for them. >P

Well I supposed I should wrap up this post now. I really should start studying math or something since my final starts tomorrow. -sob- I also have my Physics final tomorrow, but I'm really not all the worried. One, because it's a District test, which means it'll be easy as pie, and two, because there are only 52 or so questions and I feel fairly comfortable with most of our material. And it'll have more conceptual questions. So yeah. Well maybe this summer I'll be able to write more, for anyone who reads this.
