can you see through the eyes of a dreamer?

UHM i don't feel like writing about europe bcus it feels like forever ago
so i won't :)
cept i write about that one time when deniz
spit a mouthful of toothpaste and water in my face.
steffo=totally owned
and i must say, it was almost completely unprovoked! kind of.
I DON'T DESERVE THIS SO EARLY IN THE MORNING T_T

anyways i guess the rest of the summer looks someting like:
SAT classes
and mega huge loads of SAT prep for last minute testing T_T
HK end of july for 2-3 weeks?

i wish for longer, but i'm kinda excited that i'll be there during the olympics

wish i could go :/

at the moment, i'm kind of frustrated that
i don't like our summer reading whatsoever and it's SUCH A DRAG to get through
i hate driving
but i want to be able to?
i'm out of shape and so very sore
yet desperate to get fit again
i'm trying to eat healthily after europe but failling miserably
i have so many tests i still have to take
and i have to start writing for my app?
and how i miss my friends :( but i'm barely making an effort to get back in touch?
i'm such a contradiction! :P

but at the same time, i'm pretty content
although my dad won't let me go to japan to see ft island :( hahaah

i wish my hair would grow faster!

and also, everyone should go check out ft islands new pv for their newest japanese song :)

i'm bored and should be doing something productive
but i'm not.

bbl tonight :)

edit:
i'd like to say that i EFFING HATE COLLEGEBOARD.
the end.
why is it that it's always our class that gets screwed over?
whatever
i guess it just gets more competitive from here :/

i hate packing.

!!!
HAPPY TWO DAYS LATE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY FT ISLAND!! :D
i'm a terrible fangirl D:
i remember a year ago was the first time i had heard of ft island, while studying for my chem final.
lol mai had sent me a picture of jonghoon and their mv and i was o_o so in love with them <3
and now. my daddy won't let me go :((
BOO.
their songs never get old :P
i can't till their second korean album comes out :))

[20:26] dezfez: i hate packing
[20:26] dezfez: i wish people could just walk around naked
ewww. well i guess if people weren't ashamed, it'd just be a part of life. but adam and eve already ruined that for us so i guess it's not really an option :/

so weather in england and france are kinda coldish, like 60s (haha cold for a calfornian....but it's summer!) and italy is pretty warm but WET. i have no idea how to pack :/ but i think i'll take my mothers advice and BUY whatever i'm lacking :D

i think i'll watch a movie tonight with simran :))
i feel like watching a good chick flick :P

so on sunday, eric talked about honesty and how it's super important in a relationship and i was like DANG T_T mindreader.
i dunno.
i'm just bad at confronting people, so it's not necessarily deceiving them, right? hahaa
whatever.



















LOL epitome of MY LIFE.

secret #2.
she has an irrational fear of falling in love with her best friend.

i was right!

after i took (failed) my bio SAT, it felt like an incredible weight had been lifted off my shoulders..I'M FREEE :))

my dad and i walked around stanford shopping mall and bought ice cream and stuff, it was fun :)
and we were joking around in tiffany's and co and my mom was like T_T WTF SO EMBARASSING. my parents are so weird o_o

we went to a thai restaurant which was not nearly as good as the one in NYC.

and also! i cut my hair :P

EUROPE IN TWO DAYS and yet, i'm not entirely excited :/

blegdfdgjoi

THE END.

is near!

this is indeed my second post of the night.

the other day, mr. hanlon recited a list of top ten things to remember about period 5
and i was on it twice!

once for:
"stephanie's constant giggles whenever i said the word 'shuah'"
and
"i'm not one for giving advice but i will now, whenever you leave the house, always remember to SHET DE DO!"

SO NOT FUNNY ANYMORE YOU GUYS T_T

and also,

it seems to me that senior year has so much potential.
i've been thinking about it a lot lately

i always thought it was kinda overrated and stuff, and how old it was to scream and yell whenever they mentioned "seniors!" or "class of ___!"
but now i know

IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A SENIOR.

a list

(THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE POSTED ON SUNDAY BUT NEVER HAPPENED.)

of things i've done and things i've thought about

1. yesterday, while i was restarting my computer, it kept getting stuck on just my desktop and it wouldn't load T_T so i drew my desktop with a blue ballpoint pen while i waited. my desktop is ft island :B it started out as just wonbin's scarf but my computer was taking so long that i just drew him. and jaejin. and minhwan's shoulder, and part of hongki's on the other side of wonbin bcus he looked lonely. i kinda like it :P

2. a group of people and i got together and divided up dr. harley's monster study guide and each worked on a few chapters and in a few hours/ a day, we have a pretty comprehensive, completely complete, study guide. i'm kinda scared of, but oddly proud of, our 32 page creation.
(it is sooo mega funny. for example.
hyphae: stupid and dumb
alternate example: thread like etcetc.
I LAUGHED SO MUCH AND IT HELPED ME ON THE TEST.
prezygotic:
mechanical-bee cannot fuck a plant.)

3. i find it hard to completely trust everyones work, or not trust, but i feel better doing things myself so i've begun my OWN completion of the study guide to add on our 32 pages T_T. so far i've done 4 out of 17 chapters haaahaha :(

4. after i read janet's fb note/blogspot entry, i looked up scissor-lock and other things related to it and i spent like half an hour reading people's accounts on soompi. bcus soompi has all the answers. and it thoroughly freaked me out and i was too scared to turn around or anything even though it was 11 AM.
i felt alright bcus at first, i read that it was just a korean thing and i was like yay! but then i read more stories by not korean people, but other asian people. supposedly in chinese it's called gui ya T_T sounds so scary.
SO WEIRDED OUT RIGHT NOW. good thing i sleep on my side. and i pray often. GOD FTW!

5. so i've always wondered why God made us so complicated. i mean like, anatomically speaking and shnitzle, if we didn't have so many PARTS we wouldn't have so many PROBLEMS, i mean what's the point anyways T_T
and besides, if we were just blobs and stuff, i would have around 10 chapters less to study for the bio final.

EDIT: TUESDAY

6. ACED MY TWO FINALS TODAY :DDD sort of. kinda. i like to think i did :P
i hope my grades went up!

7. sat in deniz's car and ate a mcflurry while getting mcfat and watching people from prospect migrate in herds. we wondered what it'd be like to go to a public school just for a day. or a week if the boys were super cute or something.

8. i contemplated my future (aka college) for like two hours today. and felt very sad. until seany told me some very cliche and corny advice which made me feel slightly better so now instead of worrying while procrastinating, i'm blogging while procrastinating.

i've probably run the gamete of emotions this week/today

EUROPE ON TUESDAY. o____o

DR HARLEY WROTE THIS IN MY YEARBOOK:
you and you friends have been a pain in my neck! but for some reason i will miss having you in my class. i will have to find someone else to give the stinkeye to. hope you had fun and learned something!
-DR HARLEY.

i wrote him an apology letter on the back of my final.
so did simi.
:P
i'm going to miss him/that class so much! i love my class :) esp that back row ;) HAHAHA

POSSIBILITY OF MEETING FUTURE HUSBAND (OH WONBIN) IN JAPAN THIS SUMMER.

i'm so sleepy.

i think i should go memorize things now :/

pee.s. this entry is semi-not-coherent.
