Today I finally got checked out to see if I’m healthy since the car crash. My primaries didn’t have anything until September so I opted to go to Urgent Care (cry babies et. all). I’m actually perfectly fine. The doc said I had great reflexes and my spine was okay. Now all that’s left to do is sleep. I’m actually a bit tired. There’s something about visiting the doctors that makes me want to get a full twelve hours of sleep.

Tomorrow I’m going to the zoo with a group of friends. I’m so excited, not only because I get to see the aniamls, but because I get to hang out with my friends.

So, I haven't added a public post in awhile so I've decided that today I will. My life after graduating high school has been filled with spending time with friends and the like. Six months (or over six) ago I was undoubtly excited about leaving Washington to go to Johns Hopkins University. Three months ago, it hadn't hit me yet. Now, it's hit me and I can honestly say that I don't want to leave. Leaving is going to be the hardest thing I would do (at least the hardest in the short life I've lived up until now). I'm truely blessed to have so many amazing friends and I'm blessed to have met so many amazing people. The life I've lead up until now has some proud moments and some not to proud moments. But most of all, I've enjoyed every bit of it.

This summer so far has been amazing. I have a renewed sense of spirtuality and a renewed sense of friendship. It's crazy to think now that a few years so, I couldn't wait to go to parties that played beer pong and where all the crazy gossip-worthy stuff happened. It's also crazy to think that I've been to a few. Thankfully nothing bad happened to me, but I hear stories now and I just shake my head.

This summer has also been amazing because I've met amazing people. =) I've renewed a lot of my old friendships and strengthened the ones I had kept. I've also realized that teachers make great friends after high school.

If I could relive a summer, it wouldn't be last summer when I went on my huge vacation to China, it would be this summer. I've grown so much as a person. =)

Enough of the sappy stuff. This summer I also happened to get into a car crash. My best friend and I were in the car going to pick up a friend for youth group and we were rear endeding. My best friend was driving and we were at a stop light. The other girl that was driving was driving uninsured. Her car totaled the back of my best friend's car and pushed us all the way across an intersection. There's a few nasty pictures on my Facebook of the car. The amazing thing is none of us were hurt. We just had a bit of a whiplash, but that's normal considering what had happened.

I'm going to set a goal to post a 100 word minimum blog entry every day.

My life can't be any more bleh than it already is. Everything's rolling so slowly yet so fast. I have 9 more days of high school before I'm moving to join the big world. I thought I was supposed to enter the "big world" when I turned 18, what a joke.

I'm super happy that I'll be in Hopkins this fall, but I can't help but think, what if? What if I don't live up to the standards? What if I procrastinate more than I already am (senioritus: full blown)? Everything's a big what if, but I can't live life thinking of the future. At least not too much.

Best moment of the week: Someone asked me, "So are you Asian or are you Chinese?" Well, dugh. I'm both? Poor girl seriously thought China was a country. HA!

However, I am pretty excited that it's been sunny these last couple of days. Ta!

A poem for creative writing class. Criticize it and give some compliments too. :)


First Time Reading Grimm’s Fairytales

Still,
shudder,
stop!
A sudden
hush.
“Shush!”
Eyes widen,
stilted
silence.
World shut.
Dreams died.
Close the book.
Disney lied.

BLOG TIME!

From weimoner8: "so, when the video ended, an ad came up that siad "How Gay is Your Husband," and I thought, hmm, that's a tricky question. I would get a husband, but that would probably mean he's pretty darn gay 'cause I'm a guy and all. So based on that, my husband would have to be pretty close to 100% gay, I supposed."

Technically yesterday was but today is so much prettier so I'm dubbing TODAY the 1st beautiful day of the year. :)

Er... I've been playing around with the dollmaker (yet again). I absolutely love the dress that the doll is wearing on the left. I would die to find that kind of dress in the store. And the shoes??? Need I say I love heels with bows at the toes?

This mock definition was taken from the draft Sarah of the online orignal fiction work Trouble Starts With a Q by Myrika.

ASIAN OVERACHIEVER: This specimen of homo sapiens is of Asian descent; it is also known as "an overwhelmingly excellent student" but perhaps unflatteringly referred to as "nerd" and "geek." While this humanoid may have black hair and almond-shaped brown eyes, it is often hidden behind a pair of glasses and an anxious, single-minded ambition to outshine other homo sapiens it considers to be racially inferior. Its natural habitat is the academic classroom with other students, but perhaps because of said ambition, it does not get along well with fellow Asian overachievers since they consider each other rivals. They have been known to fight to death over things such as: class rank, grades, GPA, SAT, ACT.

Once removed from the classroom, the specimen has been known to display shock and confusion. It often cannot think for itself - this is due to the strong strain of Confucian tradition found in every overachiever's genes. One will usually find a pair of powerful parents ever pushing the overachiever towards higher academic honors and family glory. The specimen tends to mature late in life, often mating after "graduate college" but always in wedlock and always with those of Asian descent. It should be noted that this has not been scientifically proven, but there seems to be some perceptible divisions within the community of Asian overachievers, hinting at an odd fashion of selective mating. The Korean breed, for instance, will never reproduce with the Japanese breed.

See also, "DOCTOR" and "ENGINEER" and "LAWYER" and "SCIENTIST."

I had such a great laugh over this. Partially because it's so true (especially when applied to me). I can think of a few other people that this applies to as well.

Note: I got my grades back from Semester 1. I still have a 4.0GPA and is now the only senior with a 4.0. (YES!)

(11:08:31 PM) Annie: I am 6000million years old. I don't go to school. Dugh.
(11:09:48 PM) Annie: dear dear poor mistaken human. you seem to assume I'm a girl.
(11:10:07 PM) Annie: what if I was a guy? are there such things as breast measurements for guys?

My screen-name has been changed but his hasn't.

I love messing with poor suckers who are looking for dating conquests online. I have no clue how he knew that I go to EHS, probably from my livejournal or my myspace. Whatever. I don't think it's myspace though because my myspace HAS my age, sex, and location. I think I freaked the poor guy out. lol. Well, at least I know he won't bother me again.

As I woke up this morning, I had completely forgotten about the inauguration. The night I had a paper I needed to finish. As soon as I got to school I was surprised with the fact that the inauguration was this morning! I went through the rest of my day waiting patiently to hear his speech and then after his speech, to see my high school marching band march by the new president. I was obscenely proud that the Evergreen High School marching band got picked to be in the inaugural parade.

This evening, as I was watching KGW news at 7PM, they asked their viewers a question: What do you think about President Obama’s inagural speech? I had to reply on twitter. Knowing twitter, you could only post so many words, posting more characters was not allowed. Originall I wrote: Like everyone else, I feel awed by the extent of this historical event. President Barack Obama has definetely lifted the hopes of the American peoples. As a teenager, I feel an overwhelming sense of hope. His inagural address made me feel cared about and taken care of. My future couldn’t be in better hands. I was way over my word limit so I finally cut it down to: As a teenager, I feel an overwhelming sense of hope. His inagural address made me feel cared about. My future couldn’t be in better hands. At about 7:20ish, my response got featured on live television. I was so stoked!

I know that I will remember this day for years to come. I’ve lived through many historical events, the handing over of Hong Kong back to China, the 9-11 attack, the War on Iraq (and other middle-eastern countries), the economic turmoil, the 2008 Chinese Summer Olympics, and now this: The inauguration of President Barack Obama. God bless America. God bless the world.
