To the person who commented anonymously: I'm more worried about body fat %, I think, more than body weight (like what I see when I step on the scale). I'll always be around 120 pounds (that's healthy for a person of my height/age), but that body fat % I don't like :) especially when it gathers in the waist/thighs/butt. It sucks when all of your friends are rail thin (and some that complain about their weight is even more strange). CURVY BODIES UNITE!

I got accepted to Case Western, where my boyfriend is right now, yay. Well I'm probably not going there unless they throw money at me. Why is college so expensive!

French is fun.

I got waitlisted from Washington University in St. Louis... oh well, I hope I get some good news for other schools. To be waitlisted at some of the schools I applied to would be pretty good.

I'm good at maintaining current body weight, but I'm not good at shedding what I don't want. :) It's a matter of moving around a little bit more during the day, but if I really want to get that nice, toned belly, I'd have to exert a little more effort. If it weren't for the constant bombardment of UV rays down here in the South, I would definitely go out more.

I GOT INTO UCLA!!

I didn't think I would get in because I'm out of state, but I did :) Unfortunately, it costs ~40k per year for out of state people. :( Unless I get a great financial aid package and/or I get tons of scholarships, I don't think going to UCLA is a great possibility. UC Berkeley, however, my parents equate the school to, say, Duke (definitely an Asian thing... I mean, Berkeley is 40% Asian).

Ah! So exciting!

What is NOT exciting is that I'm doing Science Olympiad on March 25... I don't want to go, really, because that means I have to study Chemistry/Biology before I go, whoohoo. Also, I have to write an essay about Keats' poem, but don't really feel like doing that, either!

Emily - I tried to leave a comment but it didn't let me through:

:)

Augh, I'm so bad about blogging. Sorry, Emily! (And the others who may just happen to wander here)

Life's been crazy lately. Last week, I went to Savannah, GA, with Sam and Ben (two funny sophomores) for All-State Band. Yes, I was greeted by the Symphonic Band having like, 60% (?) of their band filled with the Atlanta kids. They're so good x_X The music wasn't actually THAT hard. At first glance, I just thought, I canNOT played that, but that soon turned to a I CAN so play that :) Haha, while the other kids were like, I can sightread perfectly 32nd notes, yay. I sat in 7th chair (smack in the middle). Everyone was so good but a little "jiao au" (not correct pinyin)... :/ elitist attitudes, haha. Well, the All-State band is the cream of the crop, I suppose.

The practices were okay. Really long, 4-5 hours at a time. Running around Savannah with goofballs is fun, though. I managed to pig out on potatoes (from Spanky's), eat tons of ice cream (bleh felt sick afterwards... it was all for the sake of bananas), try some Savannah pralines (New Orleans pralines are better), and watch Sam drop his ice cream on River Street. An entire scoop! :) I also bought some cute PJ pants at the mall - they're pink plaid and only $5!

An experience I won't forget. :)

I just realized that I haven't gone to school in like, 3-4 Fridays in a row due to illness and lots of band functions. Lots of 4 day weeks for me. Tomorrow I have District Band all day and next Friday is a school holiday. Isn't that hilarious?

I need to workout to get fit for prom :) well, yes. Prom is overrated, but senior prom, I'm not missing that! Need to look sexy :)
