Unlike the past few nights, tonight I can honestly say I want to go to sleep early. So hopefully I can make this post short but still interesting.
Today, well-- I did my 2nd Japanese test. 'Something I never ended up mentioning before -- my teacher Clarice basically gave us this extra test for us students who did not pass on the original course as a second chance to attain the certificate. At first I was annoyed about it, because the original test that I did didn't turn out so great at all, so especially since Clarice told me at short notice about my grade on it, and that I didn't pass the average, I thought... "Jeez, there's no way I'll manage to learn all of it and do good on this test." But what do you know, right? I slacked on Wednesday, the day after I was informed, and studied only on Thursday and this morning yet I still managed to actually do loads better on this test. So let's just say I'm glad she forced us to do another one! :)
In other news, I am working on my cielo-sereno.ORG site! Sure, I admit I haven't worked a whole lot, and I haven't uploaded anything yet, but I have made a design for it and this time I will not wimp out and decide I don't like it anymore after working on putting it all into HTML. I will finish it before I move to Salvador-- that's my deadline.
Let's face it. I need to make deadline's for myself! I need to be more strict with myself if I ever want to achieve anything a tad bit challenging. And sometimes the most things we want are just of that nature. They look easy, but it takes dedication. And that is something I must conquer now. If not completely, but at least a little, for my own sake.
I never did mention how that party went, did I? Sorry about the delay. I should have written about when I was all still pumped up about it-- but time flies and I ended up putting it off.
Basically, putting it in a nutshell-- it was quite fun. No doubt the party was fancy and formal (I was wearing the most simple dress there), with even a reception by yours truly-- the birthday girl herself and her parents. Think gowns, suits, wine, lots of decorations, dinner tables, waiters, even a cocktail bar, and at midnight the birthday girl did a walk across this runway, in some sort of wedding-like gown, with a band of drummers behind her. Throughout the party a professional photographer took pictures. After the runway, the club/disco area was opened. Imagine sofas, lots of candy, two huge screens displaying the music video being played, and a DJ in the middle with a bunch of people dancing like there was no tomorrow. The boys from my class were extremely amusing, as there were times where they surrounded us in a circle and started to dance provocatively, or in other words, sexually harass us-- but in a joking way -- other than that, there was the part where I was being nearly dragged off the sofa because they wanted us to dance too. I never ended up really dancing though, 'cause by the time I finally got the courage to get up from the sofa, the songs weren't as great anymore. I only got home around 2:30 and went to sleep at 3 AM. o__o
I could speak of more, but like I said... I want to go to sleep early. So forgive me for being brief and not keeping you posted lately!

Good luck on the 2nd Japanese test! I hope you did really well on it. :D It sounds like you did loads better though. I am also quite glad your teacher gave you guys a second chance, that is very nice of her. Awesome!
It is good that you are making goals and deadlines for yourself. That makes it a lot easier to progress, setting deadlines. However annoying they can be, or anxiety-inducing, they are helpful. :D And if you don't make your first deadline, you can ALWAYS try again.
I shall check out the website! Is it www.cielo-sereno.org ??
Yay for th eparty! I was wondering when you'd talk about it. I wish I could see pictures! I want to see you all dressed up in your fancy dress. :D
It sounds like a real rocking party, wow! I have not been to a party like that just for someone's birthday. Sounds pretty cool, almost like a club atmosphere instead of just a party at someone's house! DJ and runway and stuff, wow. Cool!
I think I personally would be a bit overwhelmed at that sort of party and too shy to dance. But it sounds like it was fun, and I'm glad there was good music! That is always nice. Lately, all the parties I go to have crappy rap music (I don't like rap) and so I never feel like dancing 'cause the music is bad. If I do like the music, there is a chance I might dance (even though I'm not so into or good at dancing). I'm sorry you missed your chance to dance! But i know what it's like being reluctant to. The boys dragging people off the couch sounds amusing. :) heehee.
Glad you had fun at that party! It was worth the trouble of dressing up, after all. Your dad let you stay out that late and didn't worry? Wow.
