We shall haunt you.

I did not study a THING today.

After nearly not making it to one of the very last theatre meetings at school this morning (because they have this stupid rule that you can only be 6 minutes late max-- but I managed to slip in anyway), I took a bus with Adrianna and her brother to their house, with the plan that we'd study Math later in the afternoon with Lorena, for the upcoming test on Tuesday. Yet not only did Lorena come late, we could not seem to concentrate at first. Then, when we went up to her apartment to get a snack (popcorn) and we came back down to the porch at the entrance of the building, the six 7 year-olds playing around there feasted their greedy eyes on our popcorn bag and demanded some!

So we gave them some. But then they went totally BESERK and demanded more and more, until they started to jump on top of us, trying to grab the bag from our lifted arm. At one point I had the bag in my hand, since I was the tallest, so I though "HAH, you little brats won't get it now-- >;D!!" Little did I know they were darn determined, and I thought I was going to fall on the floor. We even went to the lengths of possibly going into the elevator and going back to her apartment, but NO. They just HAD to follow and jump like maniacs. I swear, those kids must have been seriously high on something.

So as you must have imagined, we eventually had to surrender to their insanity (just to get the idea, they even went to eat bits of popcorn that fell on the floor!)-- they got their popcorn and we got our peace to study. That is what we thought the deal was.

Oh, no. We were SO wrong! A few minutes later they started talking to us again (if you call speaking unnecessarily loud "talking"), insisting that they pester us with their odd jokes. Like they even had their own collection of dirty jokes-- in other words, about sex. It makes me realize how innocent my youth at that age was. o_o I mean, what happened to parental control?

So yeah. They went on about stuff-- pure nonsense. (Did I mention one boy was licking the insides of the popcorn bag that I had PUT IN THE TRASH to get the darn SALT taste on his tongue?!) At some point, we even went into the parking lot to see if we could get some peace. But NO, man!!! They followed us there. Only 15 minutes later or so, they said good-bye ("good-bye drunk ladies." they said. I was about to say "Good-bye you stonies!").

After some talking (since we couldn't possibly study properly on a bench), we went back to that dreaded porch and thank god they were gone-- they went upstairs to there little mommies. I fear for those poor mothers. O_o;; Those kids were scary, man!

Then we dragged our conversation to teachers and such, and how Adrianna is infatuated with our History teacher. Lorena could not stop reminding how she really had some doubts about some linear systems... therefore we did study a little bit (I explained to both her and Adrianna the basics on how to do solve a system). If you call that studying.

Despite those facts, I had a lot of fun. We laughed a lot as wells-- and that's always a plus! Now I'm home and... well, I had this huge urge to post about today. Well, mostly about the crazy kids.

On another note:
March and April were just a while ago, and now we're already in May. My birthday is coming the Sunday after this one! Isn't it freaky how this year is flying by? Yup. It sure is. My vacation starts already in the middle of next month! (thank goodness!)

Because quizzes are just plain amusing.

Ramb

I didn't want to recieve just yet, my Chemistry test result, but I did anyway, this afternoon-- just like the rest of class. The grade wasn't good at all-- a 4,6. The average at my school is 6,0 and not 7,0, but in anyone's book-- 4,0 or 5,0 is already really lame. That's what you get when you only get half of the test right. Why did I have to mess up nonsense and forget some stupid detail?!, is what I can't help but think to myself. >_< Bleh.

Anyway, I'm not going to freak and go into a whole panic deal. There is simply no point. I guess I couldn't expect for me to have all good grades in the beginning , although I was hoping so. I'll just have to work hard these next few weeks to study a bit more. (As if I wasn't already studying a lot, right?)

Man, why is it so hot-- there's nearly no wind!~ I could close my door and my window to turn on the air-conditioning but if I did that, the door would block some of my connection to the internet .. ;__; Why, you ask? It's complicated. But that is the condition for it working.

Yeah, I'm rambling.... I wanted to post something, but I can't seem to find something that I really want to talk about. Talking about my daily life isn't always that interesting... So I have a question: What would you like me to talk about next time I post?

"Boom-I-am-not-gone!!"

I had decided that after watching Gattica with my dad, I’d continue studying the rest of Chemistry. But I really don’t want to. I mean, seriously. I have that feeling of distaste in my stomach right now, at just of the thought of it.

Then again, it’s not Chemistry’s fault. I have nothing against it. I just don’t feel like studying period. I want a break, you know? This studying every weekend for the tests on Tuesday gets tiring. So I’ll try my best to go to bed relativaly early tonight, and wake up around 6AM to get a fresh start and finish whatever that’s left.

Yes, that’s what I will do. A sigh of relief is due!

Now on to another subject. ”Gattica.” Great movie. I mean, come on—what movie isn’t great with Jude Law in it? My only complaint about the movie is that the very Jude, the very character he plays that I came to like so much, leaves far too quickly. Sure, there was a reason behind it and all—but still! Why do all my favorite characters have to go off somehow and go “boom-I-am-gone!”, just like that? Why? I wanted to have that feeling that they could exist a bit longer… It’s a very frustrating reality if otherwise so.

…In any case—watch the movie if you haven’t. Especially if you want a good story + the gorgeous bonus Jude Law. What could be better, really? (Yeah, I like Matthew McConaughey too. But Jude Law has some magic going on that’s a bit different.)

Anyhow, my day was fairly good. I got a pleasant surprise when I got a call from Cristina on my cellphone. We only talked for a couple minutes, but it was awesome nonetheless. I miss her lately. And all of my friends from Fortaleza. It’s amazing how much that phrase is true:
Absence makes the heart fonder.
I also managed to draw something different. See, I owe a drawing to my sister in Germany. Her birthday was in Febuarary and when I asked her what she wanted as a present, she said "a drawing from you." I mentioned the fact that it'll take a while to get there by mail, but she was all "Even so, I want the real thing. Even if it takes 3 months." Nearly three months have passed... But it's only because I can't seem to decide what to draw for her, and aside from that, I have been busy with school. So in a nutshell, I haven't a decent drawing for her yet. But I do have some drawing to show here, or on my other blog. Not now, but sometime when I get myself to post them.

But I can say that I do have some doodles I did on my tablet to show! I guess I'll post it here and possibly on my other blog too. So here it goes (mind you, some of these were done when I was desperately trying to entertain myself.)





This last drawing is a character of mine! Her name is cheesily "Silere." It means "silence" in Latin--since she's mute. This is the character that had originally jumped off a cliff (does it ring a bell, Chai?) This is one of her many thoughtful moments.


Oh, and would you do me the pleasure of checking out my domain?. It's not officially online and done, but I changed the "coming soon" sign, lol. I find it terribly cute. <3

In a bubble

My life, I could say… in a bubble, at the moment, is:
• School. So far, I have gotten good grades on most of my tests. Just today I found out I got a 10 on my History test. Which is wow in my opinion! I have never gotten a full ten before. O_O

• I miss my friends from Fortaleza—yet I have made some friends at my new school already, luckily. Maybe I’ll show some pictures soon, when I have one of everybody.

• ‘Still don’t have a fixed place. In other words, I’m still in the same little duplex/house… We’re still looking for a place.

• Studying in the afternoon is also quite crazy at times, I have to admit. Seriously. But I’ve gotten use to it I think.

… On other news? I have been mostly using my weekends to goof off reading comics when I can (Vampire Knight and Yakitate Japan!! Oh, and can’t forget Ouran!)—otherwise I’m studying for the weekly tests.

Grammar sucks, by the way. T_T

My History teacher rocks. He is SO hilarious. And I am not being sarcastic—serious—he is too funny. I nearly cry at every class of his.

I want to say that I have been working hard on my domain, and on my stories, but that would be a lie. A small lie, but a lie nonetheless. So let’s not be in denial here! I have been working on it—sort of. But not really. After the 1st two weeks of school, I haven’t really sat down to do anything on it.

So yeah, I suck when it comes to keeping up with my own little goals. It figures. v_v

As you can see I am in the mood for silly “faces”. ‘Dunno why. I’m going to make this end here—in 8 minutes it will be 11 o’clock and I have to wake up at 7AM at least, since I have P.E. (volleyball) tomorrow, which is in the morning. So until next time, this is all the info you get.

>__> Sorry…
