i love august because:
1.august rush

3.the season is just right

but august is also:
1.the end of my summer
2.the beginning of my school year
3.busy

i just returned home from new york yesterday. it was really fun because i've actually never been to new york city in my life. i've seen the statue of liberty and i've been to flushing, but not the actual new york city empire state building times square central park. it was really interesting, walking around new york. i felt like i was in boston most of the time. but the thing i loved most was how at night times square was still really crowded and fun. there were venders all over the place. the smell of smoke and sausages and honey roasted nuts, mmm. new york also reminded me of taiwan and that was nice.

so school starts wednesday for me. i guess this year will be much harder than all my previous years because i love slacking off, which is what i'd been doing in the past. but this year i'm taking harder classes and theres sat and college apps to worry about. aside from those important things, i'm worried about my schedule. i'm always afraid that i'll be in a class with nobody i know. and that seems impossible sometimes but some of my friends chose not to take challenging classes so i end up seeing them rarely. OR we have different lunches and gym periods and stuff like that. so i hope that i can find people i know soon and whatever. another thing is, my mother is forcing me to take the bus this year. now i wasn't that worried about it until recently because i just remembered how i'll be the only senior on my bus (which is embarrassing) and also i hate having to catch the bus at the end of the day. its so stressful and i feel really constrained. anyways, its not totally my mom's fault because i don't have my license yet so theres no way i can drive to school anyways. i just wish people lived closer to me so we could carpool. but whatever. its my last year of high school...hopefully. (haha just kidding).

hola blogger world!! (i must admit, i sort of like spanish now...)

okay so i returned from Costa Rica about a week ago and i miss it a lot, mainly the people there. i also have to say it was better than what i thought. yes, i had high expectations and i was disappointed by some things, but the overall trip was amazing. God gave me exactly what i needed, not what i wanted. so praise God!!

also, VBS is coming up! well, it starts tomorrow and i'm really excited :) okay sure i don't love my classroom assignment so much but thats not the point right?! i'm sure i'll love all my kids and i'll love hanging out with them and dragging them everywhere.

wish list

all i want for christmas, is youuu

just kidding!!! okay this is my random wish list of movies. if any of you feel compelled at any given time to to do something nice for someone, you can check out my wishlist of movies and buy me one of them!! but no, you don't have to. i'll just look at my wishlist every once in a while and WISH that i had some of these good movies:

the kite runner
fools gold
the wedding planner
the sisterhood of the traveling pants
maid in manhatten

summer schedule

sooooo, my summer has been JUST great. really. NOT. basically, i've been home all the time, everyday and it may seem like i have no life (i'm sorta convinced of that as of now) but my summer will be getting a lot better soon. for now, i just wake up, eat rice crispies, watch tv, read a few pages in my summer book, watch tv, go online until my computer dies, eat, eat, eat, watch tv, read a few pages, look at my sat book, and nothing else!

so i'm going to create a summer calender/schedule (hence my title) to meak myself feel better and prove to myself that i do, infact, have a life...in the summer time. (oh and btw, you know that song summer time by the new boys on the block? well at first i hated their song, but then cpan told me she loved it and then i heard it like everyday for one week and then i started liking it. its very very catchy. so if you're bored and you'd like to get a song stuck in your head, then go listen to it!!)

i can love some people who i know have done horrible things,
but i just cannot love those who are good and have done nothing wrong
