Sometimes I wonder why people are scared to confront others. I mean, wouldn't it be easier to do that than, say, make a wall of shame?
I dunno. It makes me wonder if the only way to become successful is to become a straight up prick with a heart of stone. I would rather be happy than successful then, I guess.
Oh well. I don't care enough to seek revenge. I have better things to think about.

2/9/10
The thing that I am looking forward to the most in college is, I think, the lack of art projects.
The other day, a postmodern current events project was assigned by our lovely hipster teacher (hipster like the type that graduated from dartmouth and drinks peets coffee. not that i dont like people who go to dartmouth and/or drink peets...they are awesome! butttt you know those people that like fit exactly into the stereotype that is trying to be broken?) that required ARTS AND CRAFTS. NOOOO. Like seriously, I don't think I have ever gotten 100% on projects like these, because teachers who assign these are LIARS!! "We aren't grading you on how pretty it is yadda yadda yadda equality i love peets coffee etc etc" Oh please! What about that section marked, "neatness"? HMM??? YEAH. SHUT THE FRONT DOOR.
Anyways, long story short, I get Angeline, who I guess jumped me and stole all of my artistic capabilities when we were still angels in heaven, to draw my poster for me. It ends up being super cute, what else is new.
I can't wait until the day where all I have to do is write what I think and take notes. go college!

2/2/10 again!
twice in one day?! oh my. this is cause for celebration!!!one!!!1!!
Lately there have been lots of switches from blogspot to tumblr. I have to admit, it is quite tempting to also make the changes. The fonts are prettier, and you can post stuff in forms other than writing and pictures and youtube vids on blogspot. BUT. I WILL NOT FALL. I will resist, just like how I resist twitter! (Allllthough I really want to follow someone to get the up-to-date infos on the lynbrook-mv game tomorrow. poopie.)
TAKE THAT, mainstream America!
I am such a rebel. I think I should join the Green Party.

HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY!
I never really understood what the point of this day was about, and yet I still religiously follow that stinkin' rodent every February 2nd. I still don't get how seeing a shadow would mean 6 more weeks of winter...anyways.
It has been approximately a month since the start of the new year, and instead of posting the new years resolution thang on January 1st, I decided to thumb my nose at the rest of mainstream blogger society and make one in FEBRUARY. Take that, mainstream America! (Actually, I was always meaning to write one, but I was either too lazy or...no. I was just too lazy.)
Since the start of the new year, I have:
-Lost weight! (gained it back within a week...and then some. eating panda today probably did not help)
-Longboarded! (One time around the block before I got a couple of weird stares from the indian familia that lives across the street)
-Hiked! (up to Hunter's point, where I felt like I was 40 because I felt sore afterwards. I also did the hike in flip flops.)
-Eaten a McGangBang! (Delicious, but it definitely contributed to the gaining-back-weight thing).
-Re-developed my love for reading! (1984. WHAT UP. I have two more books in my car and one sitting on my desk)
-Gone to Winter Ball! yayy
Since the start of the new year, I have not:
-Exercised regularly like I thought I would
-Gone on a picnic
-Become organized. INSERT BIG SIGH HERE
-Unicycled
-Grilled a steak by myself (although I have started to make lunch for the familia every Saturday! yay)
-Drive stick.
-Gone on any COLLEGE VISITS!
And, most importantly (as well as the most frightening), I have not done devotionals. OHHH dear. I know that this will not turn into any positive growth for my spiritual growth. In fact, it is probably a negative thing! It is definitely going to be hard to get over this hump of apathy and laziness to become m more devoted to my own spiritual growth.
Well, that is my list of the thing I have/have not done. My goal is to be able to do every single one of the things I have not done yet. 2010, here we go!

The early decisions have arrived, and where did I get in?!?
Nowhere.
Actually it's because I didn't apply anywhere for early decision. Did I scare you there?! good.
But all of this early decision-ing and admissions and rejections are really poking at my noodle. My college application process is definitely a different process than what I thought it would be. I thought I was going to major in business and ed somewhere. Instead, I am applying to a horrendous amount of privates with a declared major in psychology; all regular decision. It's interesting to see where God is taking me on this (less than) spectacular journey. This is definitely a huge lesson from the BIG Man Upstairs that I am never in control of my life. However, it sure is hard to be completely at ease with the fact that I may not even make it into Cal-Poly SLO. -____________- maybe I should have early decision-ed there.
On a more interesting note, when I applied to USC, I actually was bold enough to write down the url of my blog. I wonder if they actually look at it. Hi USC!

Today during lunch, I asked my brother how rainbows were made. He said that God drew them on the sky with crayons and the rain blurred the lines together. When I told him the rainbow went away, he said that God had erased it.
cutie!

It is December.
It is December, and I don't think I have ever felt this cold before. Like, seriously, I wake up and cringe at the weather reports because the temperature never goes above 60 now. My toes are always cold, my nose is always cold, and I have to wear longsleeves. EWWW. Is it just me, or do your arms feel suffocated when there is more than one layer on your forearms?
It is December, and I can't see the beautiful mahogany color on my desk. It is under layers upon layers of paper, magazines, college application essay drafts, and books. Today I tried looking for my lit essay rubric and found a Lifetouch check for $50. I then found my rubric, and lost the check (I can't help feel that it is stuck in a book somewhere).
But...
IT'S DECEMBER!!!
Hooray :) that means Christmas season is here! I basically walk around with a fatty grin on my face because I listen to 96.5 (aka CHRISTMAS SONGS IN DECEMBER) all the time. But secretly. NPR and Christmas songs are my secret radio stations; if someone else is in the car with me, I have some weird feeling to change it to 94.9.
This year, I was unfortunately too busy to set up the Christmas tree. The Chen clan Christmas tree is at least my age-every year we bring it down from the attic and marvel at the odd smell and discolored plastic, and every year we talk about buying legit evergreen trees. But, lo and behold, it ends up standing next to the piano, restored to its annual glory. I love Christmas :)
I guess the best thing about December is the people. Especially this year!! College peeps come back, relatives meet up, and friends chill together! I am SOOOOPER excited this year because I will be a second semester senior! I've even made a list of things that I will accomplish starting December 18th:
1. FINISH COLLEGE APPS.
2. Do the Costco Challenge (10 bucks=how much food you can buy from the outside cafeteria)
3. BLOG LIKE A MANIAC
4. Eat spam
5. How I Met Your Mother Marathon
SO that is all. Yays and Nays of this month. I need to finish my lit essay now. TA TAAA
