Finally I feel like I'm part of the living..

I was so exhausted yesterday when I tried making a new post but I deleted it and starting over so it actually looked like I'm trying to put some damn effort into it.

So school (hell) has commenced as of Thursday. And so far it's going pretty good. I got to see all of my friends and catch up and what not.

Physics: Already love this class. The teacher's fun and laid-back but also really smart. He launched potatoes from his potato cannon he made, and today he showed us Road Runner cartoons. I have that class with my friend Mikayla and we're gonna be like science bros. Like Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. God I'm so silly.

AP US History: Teacher's really nice and sweet. So far it's easy and we're not getting too much homework but I know that'll change by next week. But I'm good with history so I don't think I'll have much to worry.

"Peer Counseling": I use quotes for a reason... Technically the class doesn't really exist anymore because the teacher for it left. Now instead of Peer Counseling, I have some weird class where I'm like a mentor or something to freshmen so they don't fail high school. I. Hate. It. The teacher is too nice for her own good and doesn't have the guts to tell kids when they're being rude and obnoxious, and I feel like she's talking to a group of grade-schoolers. So today, we talked about study habits and crap~. Uh, bullcrap! Did no one prepare these kids for high school? Are they that freaking stupid to not understand high school is like one of Dante's circles of hell? I dunno.. Maybe cause when I was in the eighth grade people actually gave a crap about their education and didn't need to ask these questions and figured it out on their own.. So if you haven't guessed by my rant, I'm getting this changed ASAP.

AP English: Very very nice and fun teacher, and she's new. Every so often, jokes are cracked and the entire class laughs. Plus I have a ton of people in there I know which is a big plus. Hasn't given us work yet but I can only imagine how long that'll last.

Advanced Studio Art: I finally get to have my art teacher for the first time since freshman year and I'm so happy. I love art so much and can't wait to see what my imagination can be put on a drawing or a painting.

Pre-Calc/Trig- Another new teacher with quite a Russian accent. Not gonna be fun trying to understand her but so far I'm not having any trouble. Pray to God I pass it with flying colors.

So yeah that's my first two days at school in a small nutshell. Still somewhat out of it to make a super long and detailed post.

As for this weekend, dropping my step-dad off at the airport for his 5 week business trip to Japan and visiting my sister at her new room she's renting in Capitola. She's so lucky she doesn't start school in a couple weeks and only has three days of school a week...

Two more days of freedom...

And then I'm confined for ten months in the magical place known as high school. I'm ready. I have a decent majority of my supplies and I'm really anxious to meet my friends after two months of summer vacation. I'm just not looking forward to all the hard work that's gonna come my way. I have 2 AP classes. I really should consider getting a job to make myself a bit of money. And of course, I still need to learn to drive. Just thinking about getting behind the wheel is making me nervous even though I know I shouldn't be. But ugh... I gotta learn before I head off to college and that's only just two years away. God I need to stop thinking about it before I make myself more nervous.

On a side note, I got... a Tumblr. Why? Cause I can and I wanted to. So for anyone who wants to follow me on Tumblr here's a link: http://lizaxchan.tumblr.com/

I'm not really sure what to do with it so I think I'll just post whatever and all the stuff I like. Enjoy! <3 p="p">

Happy August

So yeah my summer vacation needs to finish like soon cause I'm getting bored with having nothing to do. And surely enough my two AP classes will keep me occupied. I'm going to a friend's house on Friday to meet up with friends from the drama club so we can discuss this year's game plan so we can have another great year. I haven't really been doing much else other than writing, watching YouTube videos, watching the Olympics, and reading a biography on Johnny Depp. Oh and hanging out with my sister and coming up with weird vlog ideas with her. Today she made a new one called "A Dramatic Reading of Samuel L. Jackson's Tweets". Yeah.. My sister has a Twitter account; originally to follow Tom Hiddleston but now to watch for Samuel L. Jackson's tweets cause he's the most hilarious human being in the universe.

Warning: Lots of swearing and not for the faint of heart, and you may pee yourself with laughter. Enjoy.

Yeah I can't come up with a witty title for this

Okay well since I can't come up with a creative title I might as well just blog away like a dork.

First off, tomorrow is July 31st and the long related release of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance is finally here! How will I celebrate? Well since I'm too poor to buy a new gaming console just for one game, I'll just watch all the walkthroughs again in English just for the sake of hearing the voices and getting a better understanding of the story while catching up with my friend Ethan on our favorite fandom. Here's the English trailer for those too behind the times to know what the game looks like.



Also, just as of last night, I've become addicted to K-Pop music thanks to my friend Kelly. In case it wasn't obvious, K-Pop is Korean pop music. And God, can these boys dance and look extremely adorable. In fact too adorable as I still question their genders. Ah well. They can still sing and dance like the awesome people they are. Here's one of the songs I found that's my new favorite.

Yeah yeah how could I NOT put this pic in?

And speaking of foreign things, like most people throughout the world, I've been watching the 2012 London Olympics. God I haven't been so into televised sports since this year's Superbowl. I think I'm finally realizing how intense some sports are like volleyball and water polo. Of course my favorite sports to watch are gymnastics and diving. I don't know what it is, but it's just fun to be OCD about perfection. And these two events call for it the whole time, cause if you screw up, you're gonna get marked off. I never knew OCD could be so much fun. And yes, I was in love with the opening ceremony. Completely over the top fantastic, amazing, beautiful, and spectacular. I loved the historical and literary references put in as well as the celebrity appearances. Including the Queen's stunt double jumping out of the helicopter which was funny to find out that the stunt double was a dude. Though I think most people would agree with me that the commentators were annoying as hell. If you don't know who characters of children's literature are, you're most likely an alien. It was so irritating how they assumed we're stupid and don't know anything. And believe me I'll do a separate post on that. Anyway, I was only able to stay up to see the entire Parade of Nations before I went to bed, and some of the stuff that people were wearing were quite hilarious. Like Germany that (in the words of someone on Tumblr) "stepped out of a tampon ad" or Sweden that looked like they stepped out of Blue's Clues. But overall, still a great opening ceremony and the British have outdone themselves to get ready for a spectacular Olympics.

So let's see... Other than that whole she-bang, my summer is slowly coming to it's close. Just three more weeks before Junior year. Luckily I'm almost done with my homework so I can spend those days either lazily or with friends. Really happy to go back to school shopping and getting new clothes for the year. Been spending quite a bit of time with my sister before she has to go to college in Santa Cruz and I've never felt happier just being with my sis. And speaking of siblings, she made a new video.. Okay well she's made a few since I last posted her songs (Which I had to delete cause she re-uploaded them). Recently she made a belly dancing cosplay of Lady Loki from Marvel's The Avengers (Speaking of I finally watched Captain America last night and am super happy and now want The Avengers DVD when it comes out this September) and she made a belly dancing video... Sorta. Mostly it's just her being silly but here it is so check it out.

Oh! Three things you should know before watching:
1. No, it's not like Shakira. Sorry ^^
2. No, it's not inappropriate.
3. And no, she isn't a stripper.
Thanks and enjoy the video

Hmm

I need to get out and do something instead of sitting in the house all day doing homework and catching up on Doctor Who.... Not that I think that's a bad thing..

So after consulting some friends on Facebook via poll, looks like I'm gonna be a barber hell-bent on revenge. That's right. I've chosen to be Sweeney Todd. I think I could just easily assemble the costume by getting some clothes from Goodwill or something.. Maybe get a fake blood stain on the sleeve or on my hands or something. Probably scare some people lol

So other than homework and TV, I have nothing to do in my last few weeks of summer vacation. Before I know it, I'll need to buy new school stuff, even clothes. I think I'm getting school sick too cause I've had two dreams that for some reason take place in a school setting.. I still don't know if it's good or bad lol But no matter. Might as well enjoy what of my summer I have left.

Hmm. Think it's time to share some music huh? Close your eyes and listen to the music. What do you see?



I can see.. A big field of flowing green grass, bright sun, clear sky, and the calm ocean, waves crashing on the sand gently.




This time I can see a forest with a small clearing of grass and the river. It's night and the cloudy sky opens up to see the full moon. Fireflies blink in the grass and reflect off the water.

God I love instrumental music. <3

One more month...

Summer's going by slowly. And now it's just less than a month before school starts. Fun stuff eh?

This past Friday I invited over all my friends from the anime and manga club to "otaku it out" and we spent all night watching various animes and hanging out. Even had a sleepover for all the girls and stayed up till 3 in the morning if you can believe it.

Since then I haven't really had much to do. Don't think any of my other friends are planning like anything crazy but I should have some people over before school starts. Till then I have summer homework to finish. From day one of summer vacation I've been working on all my stuff. I'm about.. I'd have to say 50% done I think. I still got a lot to do though. Now if Doctor Who would stop distracting me, I'd probably get more done but oh well. God I've become obsessed. Yes, I'm a Whovian. And yes, I prefer David Tennant to Matt Smith any day. Mostly cause I haven't seen much of Matt Smith.

So I know it's not for another 3 months but I've been thinking about what to do for Halloween. I have three options on my mind.

First, a vampire.

Second, the Phantom of the Opera.

And last but not least, Sweeney Todd.

And yes, I drew all of these. Pretty cool huh? What do you guys think I should do? I'd love to hear opinions~! :D
