memories : first day of school

it's a new year. bleh. ahaha. I guess it's time to break down my classes.

First Period: Modern American History with Harderson
At first, I was iffy on not taking APUSH, but I got Harderson, which makes things all better. Though I'm in a class with people I don't think I'd enjoy class with. The only people I do talk to are Sandy and Liz and they sit near me so I'm decently happy. My friend's bitchy girlfriend is in class with me though... but Harderson as a teacher completely makes up for it. He is seriously the best.

Second Period: Intermediate Performance Ensemble with Lindenberg
Another year of dance! The dance concerts are seriously the highlight of my year. I love having dance with Megan and Tiffany again. Jeremy is such a chill little freshman, but I'm worried about making a piece for the winter dance concert. I just want to dance already. Still my favorite class!

Third Period: French III Honors with Tietz (Bougie)
It's french, what can I say? I like Bougie as a teacher, but when it comes to him teaching it's like bleh. At least we don't have to get a bunch of useless handouts now. I already have a project with Danielle and that makes me happy. It's my only class with her. The class is tiny, so the people who don't really try are gone. I'm glad. Although, I still sit across from Andy. Ugh. Oh well. One more year then NO MORE LANGUAGE CLASSES!

Fourth Period: English III Honors with Chacon
This class seems fun, but something about Chacon just seems off. I don't like the general aura around her. Wow I sound like a hippie. English is not my strongest class and I seriously feel like I'm going to struggle with her as my teacher. Who knows? I might be able to manage an A within the class.

Fifth Period: AP Calculus with Hansen
I have a lot of people from my Trig/Math Anal class in here, that makes me happy. Another year with Jefferson, Paul, Erin, Galeb, and Kat! They made math fun ahaha. I'm glad to see Disney toys at the front of the room. I'm not glad about the test on Monday. Mrs. Hansen needs to wear better clothes though... just saying. She's really nice, but her bangs are distracting. I sit in the back at the moment, but I'll be fine in the class. Definitely getting a 5 on the AP exam in May!

Sixth Period: AP Chemistry with Hebert
A Bear. A bear. I seriously need to remember how to pronounce her name. She's a blink-182 fan, a Bright Eyes fan, and an Apple product addict. She's awesome. I think I'll be fine in her class. I have Chanel and Andi with me again! Even though it is my longest class of the day (damn 6A period), I'm excited. Although the work is going to kill me, I'm happy to have another year of chem... instead a year of outlines in Biology. With Iwanaga. -shudders-

memories: last days of summer.

Beach day with Danielle! so much fun. We watched surfers wipe out so many times. The water was so freaking cold, but the day was so nice. I don't think there is a better way to say bye to summer than a day at the beach. It's the California girl in me. If I do end up living in New York for college, I don't think I could survive the summer without going to a California beach... although I heard that East Coast beaches are much better...

fashion : shoes

I love shoes. L. O. V. E. T. H. E. M. much like every other girl on this planet (and guys ahaha).


Zorra Boots by Madden Girl


I just bought these boots (or well my mom bought these boots for me) at Off Broadway shoes. I'm so excited to own Steven Madden shoes! Gah. Aren't they beautiful?

Although when it comes to trends, I'm iffy about shoes. I like pumps. I hate oxfords. I can't wear flats well. In the end, my favorite type of shoes are boots! I have three pairs at the moment. I also adore converse and classic vans. Since I'm a dancer, I also love Nike Dunks. Right now I would LOVE a pair of green low top converse or gray or black classic vans. Oh well... one pair at a time...

fashion : prom dress

I guess it's time to start a new subtopic. I always look a clothes that I want, but I always revert back to what I'm comfortable with. I think that's why I never go for skirts or new trends. I'm used to the same type of t-shirt (though I've started to wear crop tops) and jeans or shorts. I have a closet full of tank tops and regular shirts. I really need a change up. I always see clothes I think that are really cute, but I never try. I'm going to change that. I'm tired of looking so simple. I don't care what other people think about how I dress, but I want to change it up once in awhile. (This is why it is great to have friends like Jessica, Katie, Sarah, Kelsey, Sarah, and Danielle)

Anyway, here is the main reason I made this post. I have been in love with this dress since I saw it last spring. Unfortunately, I couldn't buy it then because it was sold-out. I wanted it for prom. It may be an option this year.


Poetic Penumbra Dress for $109.99 at Modcloth


Isn't it just amazing?

Before I made this blog, I found this artist and she has a blog here on blogger. Now I follow her. She has an amazing art style and a even better fashion style. She is asian, like me, and also has an obsession with underwear. Ha. I love her blog, though I don't agree on a few things for her style, but it is still an inspiration.

That's all for now. Hopefully I can get this dress before it sells out again!

dreams : europe

Apparently my mom may be sending me over to Europe senior year. THIS IS EXCITING. I can actually use my french!



Basically, though I'd try to go as many places as I can, I would spend most of my time in London and Paris. It just seems right. I will visit any, if not all, Harry Potter places. That's my plan. Then Paris, what can I say? It's the city of love, I should have fun! I just hope I don't go alone or that would suck.

I've learned the best way to travel is to ditch any communication items. Phones (off, just to call the parents, just in case), laptops, internet, all gone. I may opt to bring my iPod... long train trips are boring, especially form London to Paris. All I would do is document my days activities in a travel journal. That would be awesome. As long as I don't have some crazy aunt that just died and I have to go around Europe seeing everything she saw. I still need to finish the sequel to that book.

Oh well. This is a dream for now. Back to reality and the nine journals for English I haven't written yet.

That is such a lie. I'm going back to reading Bleach.

dreams : I'm magical

I got into Pottermore, Day 1 (I really don't see how it is so hard...). I got in on Day 2. And I just helped about five people get accounts on Day 3. I'M A WITCH NOW.
