The New Year thing was so great. V and I got lots of swag. This is what I got:
a piggy bank (it's the year of the pig)
2 water bottles
lucky money envelopes
3 calenders
2 bouncy balls
a plastic snake
a fan
a deck of old maid cards
soap
a first aid kit
a key chain/bottle opener
2 chap sticks
2 balloons
a balloon hat :)
a light up ball
a bracelet
note cards
notepads
post-its
sunglasses
and 12 umbrellas
Plus lots of chocolate! ^^
My mom came home today, too. She's been in Minnesota because my grandma died (cancer). I was sad, but I had only meet her a few times because she and the rest of my mom's family live out in Minnesota/Wisconsin. She's actually my stepgrandma, but my mom's mom died when my mom was 19 (also cancer), so I never knew her. Anyway, Mom got almost all of the family photos, which I'm completely psyched about, plus a copy of their genealogy book. And while my dad was cleaning he found a picture of my great-great granddad, plus his old passports. In one of them he almost looks like Heath Ledger in A Knight's Tale. It's kind of weird, think my dad was once kind of good looking. :\

Yada yada yada
Yesterday:
My CM class was totally frustrating yesterday. (A CM is kind of like a student teacher, a senior assigned to a freshmen class to help them.) R, who has ADHD big time, but had major side effects to medication, was worse then usual. I had to spend almost the whole period helping him with two worksheets. But a good part was B told me about straight knifty knitters, which I'm definitely going to buy right away, and about how you can make a tighter knit by using two strands.
Physics was good though. My friend K had a hot friend visiting. :) He's from Japan and is going to a private school here, so he came to our school for a day to experience public school.
For lunch I had a Vietnamese lesson with V and we made flash cards. Now I can say hello/goodbye (chào), how are you (khoe khong), and kitten (méo con) straight from memory.
Also I tried a new dose of my ADD medication (I went back on medication recently after having been off it since middle school), 9 more mg, but I didn't feel any different, except I was really tired all day. But that could be coincidental.
Today:
I was tired again after taking my meds, so I'm seriously wondering if that's what's causing it. I'm going to try my old dose tomorrow and see what happens.
My friend S called and wanted me to call her back on her cell. She thought I had her number but I didn't since my cell got stolen. Later V called and invited me to a new years celebration thing at the convention center. It sounds like a lot of fun. She said they were giving out giant umbrellas, and lots of chocolate. Yum!
My family and I went out dinner to celebrate my getting into Northridge. We went to this new barbecue place on Prescott, then had dessert at Pix Patisserie.
Today's Playlist:
Push It to the Limit (Corbin Bleu)

OMGx100
I got accepted into CalState Northridge!!!! I don't have to go to North Dakota for college, hooray! This is amazing as I'm out-of-state, have a weak GPA, and a so-so SAT score (great ACT though). Sun, heat and beach, here I come!
Anyway, I'm watching the lastest Colbert Report right now. I love this show. "It's called a Whammy Bar. Deal with it."

That Is the Question
I'm not really the type to blog. Namely, I hate writing. However, it occured to me today that writing about what you want isn't hard. And I love talking about me (who doesn't ;)), and sharing stuff I like. A blog is perfect for that! (Duh.) So here I am. Soy Shannon.
