my life is over tomorrow

" You know that feeling you get on a sunday where you just have the whole day to yourself, and it's been great, and then you remember you have to go to school the next day, so it ruins the rest of the night? "

homesick and overreacting

i wish i hadn't read that to break my heart for another three weeks.

but so i'm in china and i'm insanely bored and it's 10 in the morning in barrington and this computer is really really slow.

um yay?

Pure Nerd
52 % Nerd, 26% Geek, 30% Dork
For The Record:


A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.


You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.


The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally
smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up
all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer.
Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more
so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be
replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.


Congratulations!

I need one of those ... memories where you remember everything you read. The only word that pops in my head is 'amphoteric'. Studying for this stupid SAT Chem's dumbening my mind even more. So much that I just wrote dumbening.

[edited] easier?

From Miranda!

Step 1: Put your iPod or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING! (NO CHEATING)

1) If I were you I'd take it easy, kick back and relax for a little while. We'll all still be here tomorrow, take time just to act like a little child

2) This is morning, that's when I spend the most time

3) It was 3 am when you woke me up and we jumped in the car and drove as far as we could go

4) Desperate for changing, starving for truth

5) When I am down and oh my soul, so weary

6) Where is the moment we needed the most, kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

7) The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful, stop me and steal my breath

8) Everybody's talking, but they don't say a thing, they look at me with sad eyes but I don't want their sympathy

9) How low before I get in, before it starts, before I begin? How long before you decide? Before I know what it feels like?

10) Dancing where the stars go blue, dancing where the evening fell

11) Take away the sensation inside, bitter sweet migraine in my head, it's like a throbbing toothache of the mind, I can't take this feeling anymore

12) I know a girl, she puts the color inside of my world

13) Crashed on the floor when I moved in, this little bunk alone with my strange friends

14) Where I come from isn't all that great, my automobile is a piece of crap

15) I know there's something in the wake of your smile

16) (song title) had me a blast, (song title) happened so fast

17) (song title), all my troubles seemed so far away

18) (song titleeeee), (song titleeeee) now, (song titleeeee) yeah yeah yeah, (song titleeeee) now

19) I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son, I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son

20) On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

god somebody pull me together

so solo & ensemble today made me feel like i could do anything. i can manage trills when i'm shaking and i can keep up with a cd that can barely be heard. and i can play a cadenza with people exclaiming how "talented" i am outside the room. so i'm starting operation-get-yingxia-a-life-and-into-college:

- stop watching so much tv on weekend nights, a.k.a. stop procrastinating
- get into symphony and wind ensemble and show them how wrong they were to reject me last year
- start watching the news and join model un next year
- get a good score on SAT chem, which means actually starting to study for it
- make more friends, closer friends
- be less annoyed at other people, and laugh at them instead
- be more sympathetic and learn what to say to people who are sad
- actually figure out what i want to major in in college



Mood: contemplative

que nos traera el futuro?

I'm sixteen and four months old today. What am I going to be when I get out of college? I have absolutely no idea.

- architect ( my parents, especially my mom, are so against it it's insane. there's too much schooling and not enough jobs out there. i'm starting to think it's another one of my phases )
- chemist ( what the hell do you do with a bachelor's in chemistry? burn stuff? split atoms? not much job opportunity specifically for chemists out there either )
- engineer ( that's so asian )
- doctor ( i laugh at the thought of blood. and there's insane amounts of school. i'd like a life before i'm like 50 )
- interior designer ( i can't design. i can draw. i can't design )
- pharmacist ( that means i probably have to study biology and the human body. pictures of cells freak me out. even though it's a good paying job )
- i abhor business
- computers just aren't my thing
- i'm out of ideas

I've also had phases in middle school and during freshmen year when I wanted to be an accountant (because it's purely math) and a cake decorator (because I totally won't be starving with that job...)

mini-rant is done.

my emails is spaztic. it tells me that i have one new message and none shows up. story of my life.

Solo & Ensemble's Saturday and I'm doing a level-five duet and a level-six solo. It's going to be impossibe. There's also RIPWE and RIPYO auditions coming up, plus SAT Chem. and EBSWE's starting soon (!) And I don't have much motivation to go through any of this stuff. Summer can't come soon enough.



Mood: stressed
Music: lean on me

i'm such a spaz, but not really the point. i need a kind soul to email me the history socratic seminar sheet and i'll love whoever does it to death. wangy@bpsmail.org (it's funny i know)



Mood: crazy
