First three weeks of school--!

I did not realize how much time I had let pass without posting here until my good cousins so kindly reminded me.

Life has been very kind to me lately. My Grandparents' 80th birthday party seemed to have been a great success-- everyone seemed very happy. There was beautiful music, delectable food, Chinese outfits and magic, and of course lots of family members. I got to see Matt again-- he is having a pretty intense lifestyle. Randall was jerking and celebrating Caucasian pop music while Matt and I softly hummed Michael Jackson and Tong Hua in the background. As a party favor too, I got this nice carrot cake cupcake that I have yet to eat. Grandparents are truly blessed people :)

Schoolwork has been less intense this year than last year. I am without my core work loads from last year, Chemistry and Calculus. This year I have Statistics (very tedious so far) and Biology (amusing, mild work) for my Math and Science. This year I'm starting to feel like a rich middle class male-- taking classes like Government and Econ, looking at Graphs in Econ, and then now debating about Immigration for Debate Club... By far my hardest class this year, in a schedule of all AP classes, is AP Spanish Language. Yo soy 1 de las 3 o 4 personas en la clase que no habla español en casa. El escuchado es el más difícil parte del clase. Puedo leer más o menos bien porque hay muchos cognados y tiene la maś experiencia en el leido, pero en los años antes de este año no recibía mucho practica sobre hablar y escuchar. (excuse grammar errors if you know Spanish!)

Social life has been pretty decent. Barnes and Nobles is a swell place to study. Went to Wei's house a few times to study/draw/guitar. Though the vast majority of seniors leave at lunch, I like to hang around. Its been great to get to know certain people better. I feel like I'm distancing from a lot of people in my own grade a bit though; missing the camaraderie of olden days, but alas, nothing on this earth lasts forever. Nevertheless, its been a great year.

I'll try to get around to posting more frequently-- it seems it kind of goes in bursts of momentum and inspiration.
