College and Christmas.

So I've been applying, applying, applying to colleges for the past 2-3 months and let me tell you, it is EXHAUSTING. I had to write so many fucking essays and short answers for the applications and supplements, and all that shit. When I'm not submitting applications, I'm sending transcripts, recommendation letters, and fee waiver request forms to various colleges. And when I'm not doing THAT, I'm sending SAT and ACT scores. Thank GOD I'm done with applications for the year and the majority of my college stuff is done. I still have a few more things to submit next year, to the colleges with late deadlines, but it's only a few things.
Ya know when people say "you can relax senior year"? I think it applies to second semester and second semester ONLY. I've done a shitload of stuff this semester. My brain's about to burst. I've already been accepted to Baylor (stop, stop, hold the applause) but I need a lot more acceptance letters.

Anyway, I don't think I've written about Christmas yet. I totally got a new Android phone, touch screen, and it's fucking amaaaazing. I love it. I have Wifi and a whole bunch of cool features that my ghetto old phone didn't have. I also got nail polish, clothes, and matching winter attire. So I had a great Christmas.

Joy the World. <3

Bruno Mars.

So I'm pretty much in love with Bruno Mars. Like, really. I know everything about him. I love all his songs and I watch all his interviews on Youtube and follow him on Twitter. I'm seriously in love. Someone help.
I think he's amazing. I love how he has a sweet side but he's also sort of a G. He likes mahogany and OAK and punches small children in the throat.
The only thing I hate is when people say he is the new Michael Jackson. He can't be compared to Michael. NO ONE can. Yes, he looks like him and kind of sounds like him, and even sort of has that soft voice, but he ISN'T Michael.
But other than that, I looove him. His voice is incredible and he's so talented and like...perfect. He knows how to treat a girl (See "The Way You Are") but he's kind of naughty (he co-wrote "Right Round" which was about oral sex, and co-wrote "F**k You"). So he's perfect. I'm so gonna marry him.

Yeah yeah yeah, I'm being delusional and sound like an over-obsessed fan girl. I hate being like everyone else. I really really do. But my ultimate wish is to meet him one day. THAT I can do.

Harry Potter was awesome.

Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD.

So we all know how super fucking excited I was to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One in theaters. I've read the series God-knows-how-many times.
Jo's books have been my favorite since I first started reading after the 5th movie came out. I had gone to see the movie with my big brother like 4 years ago, and decided to read the books. So I read them. I finished the entire series in my freshman year of high school. I can remember discussing the last book with my friends in English II, and them ruining the fact that Fred had died. I remember crying all through the last book, cause everyone died.
Anyway, back to the movie. It was amazing. I loved everything about it.
I loved the opening sequence where it showed Hermione, Ron, and Harry in a state of distress, just kind of looking around, knowing that everything was changing for the worse. I love how it wasted no time at all, jumping right into the story. It was kind of emotional when Hermione erased herself from her parents' memories.
The 7 Harrys was absolutely genius. I love how there was some humor, even before an absolutely dangerous, life-risking mission to get Harry the hell out of there. When they got to the burrow, they had to test each other to make sure there were no imposters. They knew that someone had ratted them out. George got his ear cut off, and I imagined the whole "holey" scene a bit funnier, but it wasn't a big deal.
Bill and Fleur's wedding was adorable. And by the way, I thought the dude who was cast for Bill was perfect. He was cute and charming, like how I imagined Bill would look, with long hair. Fleur wasn't nearly as beautiful as she was supposed to be, though.
Then the whole message about the ministry interrupted them all, reminding them that there were still worse things going on in the world. After Harry spoke to Elphias Doge and that other woman about Bethilda Bagshot, that thing came, telling them that the minister of magic had been murdered. Then the death eaters attacked them, and the three of them disapparated into the middle of the city. I loved the way they made her little beaded bag, and the whole coffee restaurant scene with the death eaters trying to kill them.
I thought it was really cute how Ron didn't know anything about the muggle world, and how Harry didn't know the fairy tales of the wizarding world. So, yeah. I can't write about everything in the movie, it was over two hours long. So I'll skip to some parts.
Most things in the movie is EXACTLY how I imagined what happened in the book. Like Sirius' house, Kreacher, the three sleeping in the tent, and the whole Malfoy's house scene. I loved the way Yates (who I previously hated for screwing up the past movies) portrayed the Malfoy scene. Although a lot more things went down in that dungeon, I'm glad they cut to the chase.
Lastly, I loved the way they ended the movie. It was the PERFECT place to end it.

Now, part 2 BETTER blow. me. AWAY. XD

A Pep Rally to Remember.

Yeah, I'm pretty damn sure you all know by now that Jay Sean came to my school yesterday for our last pep rally of the football season. It was pretty fucking awesome. He gave us a mini concert. We were all jumping up and going crazy on the bleachers. And he pointed at me. TWICE. Hehe. I'm not gonna lie and say I've always been his biggest fan. But I do like some of his songs.
And idk, but Kiss FM's been to our pep rally twice, so someone's got the hook-up...Anyway, I heard Nicki Minaj was supposed to come but couldn't make. Rumor or not? I don't know. I DO know all the black people would've went crazy. When Jay Sean even mentioned her name, the whole gym erupted. And he was like "Yesterday was a very special day" and everyone went nuts. We all know Lil Wayne got outta jail on Thursday, not that I care much. I don't really like him.
Anyway, it was an amazing day. Only at LCHS. :) All the other schools were definitely jealous. And the seniors from last year tried to play it off like "Jay Sean? Who cares?" As if they had anyone special come last year for them. Anyway. It was awesome.

So...I'm out. ;)

Friday (Part II)

So after the pep rally, we started homecoming dance decorations in the cafeteria. I left at 5:30 to go home and eat. I came back at 6:30 because Marcus was taking Priscilla, Mai, and I to the game. We were like 6 minutes late, but Marcus and I rushed to the where the choir was right before we walked in. Then they announced the homecoming nominees, and Kristoddie and Jessica won king and queen.
When were done singing, we went to go sit by Mai and Priscilla. The game was fun, even though I think football is stupid. I found myself being the average American, yelling and screaming when they missed passes and cheering loudly when we got a touch down. It was my first ever football game. But were playing rivals so something was bound to go down.
During half time, as South's band was walking by, some idiots on our side were throwing things at them. Which is really stupid and disrespectful. Then a guy on South's team got hurt. He wasn't moving for a looong time and it was scary because everyone thought he was dead. An ambulance came onto the field and took him away. When a player gets hurt, you're supposed to be quiet and sit down. But some of the idiotic black ghetto hoes at the top decided to be ignorant and keep standing and making noise. "Why we gotta be quiet DANGG" "Laquisha, gurrrlll, give me my damn hot dog, shit!" I guess they were raised on the streets. I told my friends this is why no one likes black people. lol. Priscilla and I are African Americans, but those black Americans are really annoying and ignorant.
Anyway, our players played a good game, but we lost, 17 to 31. I walked away cussing angrily cause we lost, but as we were all walking away, a fight broke out on the field. According to my friend Janet who is a varsity cheerleader, South's football team thought one of our players Valerian attacked Jorge, the guy who was taken away in the ambulance, and like 8 of them beat him up. I was pissed as hell because it looked like our football team was just standing there amidst the chaos. Our administration was running around the field trying to stop the fighting, the coaches almost got into it with the other coaches, and it was all just crazy. When we got to the parking lot I was pissed as hell, cussing out South and our players that weren't helping Valerian. It was a crazy night.

And that's why I decided not to go to Homecoming. It was all too crazy. Our school showed how classless we were on Friday. I heard the homecoming dance was the best one yet. It was going to be my first and homecoming dance, but I don't care. In a way I regret not going, but whatever. What was there to come home to? Our students are just plain classless and I don't wanna "get down" with them. Who would want to? Besides, there's always Legacy and Prom. I don't know about Legacy, but I am DEFINITELY going to prom. No doubt about it.

So in conclusion, we are deeply screwed on Monday. Our principal and administration are probably going to take a lot of our priviliges away and chew us up and spit us out. I personally believe that the class of 2011 basically just gave the principal a reason to hate us even more. It's a shame, really. Homecoming week was fun and crazy, but I'm glad it's over. I just can't wait to get the hell out of high school and go on and do bigger and better things.

Summing up Friday (Part I)

So Friday was Code blue, right? We all wore blue, we showed our support at the homecoming pep rally. The game against South was that night. Of course I had to go, because being in A Cappella, we had to sing the national anthem. Anyway. The pep rally went well. Priscilla, Mai, and I had to carry our NHS float to present. Other organizations presenting their floats were Earth United, FCCLA, HOSA, AVID, and 2 others. But we won (yay!) The seniors won the spirit link contest. The spirit link contest is where all four classes donate money to their class and whoever has the most money wins the contest. My class, 2011, won, so we got our money plus everyone else's money to go towards our prom. Our class president donated 300 dollars, and one girl donated 80, plus others, so of course we won. The senior class got second place in the homecoming hallway decorations contest. So that was great.

Anyway, during the pep rally, there were skits and the cheerleaders, drill team, and minutemen did their shit, and the band and the color guard. And then four of our varsity football players had a request from four freshmen: Teach Me How to Dougie. Ayyee. So the four of them did their little dougie dance, and got crunk. Then the four freshmen did theirs, the two black kids did it right. The one white guy was funny but still got applauded, then the mixed girl didn't know what the hell she was doing. But it was funny. So the whole pep rally was hella entertaining.

Priscilla and I felt awesome being on the floor where all the important people stood. lol. Then we got to walk around during max duty without being interrogated by teachers. So it was cool.
Part II coming later.

Tacky Day, homecoming floats, and hall decorations.

So today was Tacky Day. It was a pretty good day. Of course you had the people that go over-the-top and made ya laugh. One being one of my best buddies, Priscilla and my friend Rashad.
<--------Priscilla

Rashad------------>






Others took a milder approach. Like Mai and I. I decided not to go all out this year. But it was fun, nonetheless.


<-------Mai

Me ------->







It was a funny day. But I stayed at school til about 10:30 pm, helping with homecoming things. Right after school we started working on our NHS homecoming float to present at the homecoming pep rally. I'm hoping we win. It started out hideous at first, but then ended up looking pretty darn fabulous, for the materials we had. We worked on that until about 8 pm.



<------- Our float. Don't get it confused with a huge, beautiful, parade float. We had to work with some wagon cart thing that will pushed. It took us hours to make. The palm trees look beautiful, and as you can see, we have lots of glitter, and all those frilly, grassy things at the bottom? Yeah, I did that. And that's my umbrella too. lol. I had to call Ashley and recruit her to come help, and as our "honorary officer", she did just that. It was totally nice of her to take time out of her day to come help us.



But homecoming hall decorations for our class took a long time too. The officers and a few others had been working on it since school ended. Then Mai, Ben, Christina, Sela and I went over to help them, since we had just finished our float. The theme for homecoming is Beyond Paradise, so we made a sun, a beach with surfboards and an umbrella, some palm trees, a sailboat, and a waterfall. It ended up looking great.

So. It's 11:23 pm, I'm exhausted, and my ass is going to bed.
