keykThe supposed F actually turned into a 30/50! A really low D! Much better than I expected. |D The homework I just turned in better make my current C in the class a C+!
I sent in my essay a few days ago for my counselor to review. I'm being too negative, says she. Fffff. WHOOPS. And I thought I was being pretty positive, too! XD; Guess my standards still need a good fixin'. She said my grammar was off also, so I need to proofread them again. Just like with everything else, when I post something, I notice 1028209402947 more mistakes that I should've noticed beforehand.
After the retreat, I'm less negative, but my brain's left side seems to have lost a good chunk of itself. Bad timing, but being slightly more optimistic and fighting not to let things bog me down (not getting uber stressed and sobby for a bad grade is pretty good! But then again 80% of the class got Ds and lower, so that helped. Comfort in numbers!) is always good! Speaking of that grade, it was pretty irritating when my teacher went up and did a quiz problem on the board we SHOULD HAVE gotten right, and then when she asks us what problems we were having, defend yourselves, any excuses, and then one smarty person raised her hand and said it only took her five minutes to figure out that we needed synthetic division. Smarty people are great! Smarty people who want to rub it off in our faces are much less so. Someone in the corner grunted in disgust. XD I'm sure most of the class agreed. (I knew I had to do synthetic division, too, but I did my arithmetic wrong and ended up getting lost when I did it. So I switched directions and ended up getting it really, really wrong.)
Computer's still sick (so I apologize for my lack of replying to things I should be replying to. :/ ), and the black widow next to it is enjoying its sweet solitude. I'll catch you one day. Can't have you getting males in your web and mating. Thirty plus black widow babies hobbling across my room after their cannibal fest? No, thanks. Do that in my cacti like the rest of your kind.
California weather is seriously messed up. My grocery bought onion stuck in a pot got a new sprout growing (had to cut off the dead tall sprout with its dead smelly flowers :( ), and my cacti are about three times larger from all that rain. And now it's grossly sunny again. Thirty degree hop (Fahrenheit) in the span of one day. Yikes.
These guys are so cool! If I were to make a theme for Hans, it'd be bouncy like a lot of popular ballet themes (though I'd take the darker ones since it's...Hans after all.), but in the 1930s AU, it'd have to be pretty jazzy. I was curious as to what that might sound like and then I ran into these guys! They're so cool. <3 It still amazes me how they can improv together like that. And the pianist is so smiley! And the vibraphonist! Haha, I love jazz. I need to take music theory classes in college.

I don't know if I'm too late, but good luck with your college applications! (Be more optimistic! :D)
But I never relaized that California colleges are accepting less Asian applicants. I'm Asian too and live in SoCal, but I never heard about this. Though, I did go to community college and transferred, so I'm not really sure. o_o
Sorry to hear about your computer and that black widow (!!!). You should get bug spray and kill it! D:
Watched the video, and they're quite awesome! I love jazz, and I am amazed how people improv like that. *__*
And yeah, California weather is crazy and unpredictable. (It was hot only a few days ago, and today it looks like it's gonna rain!)
