CLOSURE.

Mon, 26 May 2008 15:45:38 GMT

It is now the start of the school holidays. But to me it feels like the end of so many things. I think i'm getting hormonal again. (overactive hormones = pimple outbreak eeee) I NEED CLOSURE. The reason why i write stuff like dedications or cards or bake stuff or buy people presents for farewell or birthdays etc, is somewhat for selfish reasons i think. I need to write down my emotions/translate them into something physical so i can "LET GO" or feel that i've done something at least for the person in question. In case they forget me, or they never get to know how much they mean to me because of the impacts which they may have had on my life. So...yes....CLOSURE. I NEED CLOSURE. x) WARNING: the following post will be pseudo-emo-ey, but knowing me i'll be fine again by the end of it.....

Things that are ending....IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER!! x)

CHOIR CONCERTS. I have NEVER had so many intensive concerts in a row EVER. It's a good thing that i absolutely LOVE performing, or i wouldn't know where i would have gotten the stamina to even survive any of them.

1. River Valley Concert (River Valley High)
2. 9 May VOICES IN FLIGHT (VCH, most tiring day of all, i think for me EVER in terms of choir concerts.)
3. 11 May VOICES IN FLIGHT (VCH, most fufilling day for me, I've never learnt to take so much ownership in a concert EVER till this experience. I never could tell the difference between me wanting it and wanting to do it for Miss Lim. SO YEAH. Now i'm VERY clear of what i WANT. 2 GOLDS FOR CHOIR OLYMPICS. ONLY MORE, NO LESS. )
4. PS21 (TOA PAYOH HUB. hah i spelt it correctly. and i'm entirely SICK of the place already.)
5. Hwa Chong ARTS FEST. (Hwa Chong Audi....)

Listing out all of the concerts, makes it seem as though we've accomplished a lot eh? Oh overcoming each milestone together as a choir has been really AWESOME to say the least. I think rioHC is filled with really sincere, passionate and loving people, who make CHOIR so enriching and inspirational for all of us seniors and juniors alike. x) I mean, i have NEVER felt so motivated to sing with so much HEART, and i have NEVER wanted anything so badly....okay maybe it's close to sudden craving for BEN & JERRY's at 2 AM in LA.....BUT YES, i can ALREADY SEE IT, but even coming close to tasting it or touching it requires A WHOLE LOTTA effort, time, love, patience, emphathy, perseverance, stamina. SO LET'S GO CHOIR, LET'S GO....LET'S GO CHOIR LET'S GO!!! <333 GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD for olympics whooopeee.....

When something ends something begins
But now it's just the end of the road
When someone loses someone wins
But now it's just the end of the road
Don't get to fix it if it doesn't break
But now it's just the end of the road
When you gotta leave it makes you wanna stay
I know it's the end of the road.....
IT'S THE END OF THE ROAD...

One line can change a story so sometimes let the line just be unsaid. ~~HAH. I'M EMO-ING...OH MAN.~~ To all 4 of the seniors who can't come with us to Austria, this is the wonderful song that helped me get over the GRIEF, and SORROOOOOWW. X( X( So hopefully it'll be of some comfort to you guys, that we're slowly getting over the pain of losing you guys....I think i've been really lucky to have joined choir all the way in november, where at least i had "borrowed time" with you guys.

Performing pamugun and lullaby for the workshops with all of you has been a privilege and it was really fun learning how to blend with rioHC and yet finding my personal voice in the process...I mean i'm definitely a person who takes so many things for granted, and it wasn't till the ARTS FEST concert, when Cherrylene went, "YES, it's my LAST CONCERT WITH YOU GUYS...SO YOU BETTER SING WELL AH...", that i realized that the seniors would leave us sooner or later. And yes, so this "depression" is just sort of a prelude. Oh man. Everything seems so cyclic and yes we go this far only to find out we've come one full circle back to square one. booo...OKAY. ON to the most exciting bit... YAY.... PERSONAL DEDICATIONS........

LI SHAN <3

OH MAN. Out of all 4 of the seniors, i have to say that you are DEFINITELY the gentle-lest and the sweetest. Your naturally caring demeanor has made choir such a loving CCA and it's really touching to see how although it's probably not required of you, you take the extra effort to ensure that we have all of our needs met (emotionally, physically, spiritually) as juniors. You've been a truly inspiring role model for me, especially in terms of leadership....the PRECISE balance of empathy and level-headedness, as well as being an effective encourager. Well uh...i definitely feel ENCOURAGED even by your mere presence (you emit some sort of calming vibe x) and i think it's really fortunate that i'll still get to see you at least more regularly than all the rest of the seniors. x) YES, but your immense LOVE and commitment to choir is and will always be my greatest takeaway from my time with you...OH and i'm still working on your luuuurvely card...so yes...you'll get it SOON. <3

Song for you from me from my playlist: Don't Forget To Remember Me - Carrie Underwood. Got that? x)

CHERRYLENE <3

YOU. ARE. HILARIOUS. GIRL. NO. QUESTION. ABOUT. IT. Oh let me see....So many things to say about you hahaha.....thank goodness i've already vented in the card i wrote to you (but now must censor some bits because this is a PUBLIC post AHAHA.) I'm soooooo glad you managed to read it. When i started i thought the paper was too large to fill, but once i started recalling all the funny things you did for us and TO us it was really easy, and i raaan ooout of spaaaace. x( OKAY..in short, the time spent with you in choir has been a whole jumble of emotions and experiences, I'll probably know you for the shortest time ever in comparison to other seniors in SOP 2 i think...but it's so strange how i feel like i've known you for such a looong time. It must be your HUGE eyes, or tendency to burst into "OMG REALLY? AHAHAHAHA...." or ranting about soccer blahblahblahblahblahblah, or knack at cheering people up when they feel discouraged or whatever...<3333. I thank you immensely for contributing your bubbliness, humor and love to rioHC and I have to tell you that I WILL AND ALREADY AM MISS(ING) YOU TREMENDOUSLY. But as i said, my baking services are always available and i have to return you your book remember? OKAY i confess i've finished it and i'm gonna read it again and again until you turn up in choir prac to claim it hahaha. X)

Song for you from me from my playlist: Eyelash Wishes - The All-American Rejects <33 x)

JERRY <3

EMO DUDE. Hope you are feeling better and less hormonal. Nepal could be a great chance to get things sorted out and to learn about and help people much less fortunate than all of us. Hah...where to begin? Aiyah, too bad you had to leave before you could receive your card hee...I'm sure it would have been much comfort in Nepal when you are getting bitten by all the evil mosquitos and bugs. OKAY. It's been really inspiring being in rioHC with you. Especially the fact that you are such a serious performer, like for the whole of our Voices in Flight concert it was quite baffling watching you get in character backstage in preparation for the acapella performance. Hah, but we can all definitely see and feel your immense dedication and passion for your art, whether in singing or acting (shakespeare 24) And sometimes your desire to let us know how serious/contemplative you can get when you want to x) I think it's good to strike a balance, or else too much emoing will result in numerous trips to the psychologist, or else there's always the simpler alternative of EMO MUSIC, or uplifting inspirational DAVID A. SONGS. Uhuh...Lastly I just wanna THANK YOU for making rioHC such an entertaining, musical and sometimes sombre place. I will especially remember your entirely random habits of bursting into song anywhere/everywhere at awkward times, making weird popping sounds during combined sectionals, fangirling about AMERICAN IDOL <333/America in general, emo mood swings, amazing prioritizing skills, and moving friendship with Shaun. x)

Song for you from me from my playlist: Find Yourself - Drew Seeley (Good luck attaining this stage of self actualization... <333)

LIU ZHE <3

HEY LIUZHE. If you're reading this, I just wanna tell you i felt great anguish when you had to leave because i've never really had a chance to get to know you. And I know you have been a WONDERFUL senior to the altos especially, and I really wish you all the best in your studies and in upholding the hwa chong tradition of excellence. It's been an honor being in rioHC with you, and i will NEVER EVER forget how TALL you are. x)

Song for you from me from my playlist: Thank You For The Music - ABBA (truly, thank you. x)

NEXT ON THE LIST IS...

AMERICAN IDOL IS OVEEEEER....BOOHOOHOOHOOHOOHOO...DAVID ARCHULETA I LOVE YOU ALL THE SAME....LONGER THAN...THERE'VE BEEN FISHES IN THE OCEAN...HIGHER THAN ANY BIRD EVER FLEW...LONGER THAN...THERE'VE BEEN STARS UP IN THE HEAVENS....etc etc. Awww....now every wed and thurs I will run out of interesting msn names to update, while watching the show. x( OH OH but i can't wait for both their albums to be out.....DAVID(s) <333333 They'll probably be the only albums i'll willingly splurge my allowance on. <~~Oooo....START OF GREAT S'PORE SALE. WHOOPEE....shoes, bags, clothes, foooooood yumyumyum....here i coome...>~~ SO SORRY. Saw the advertisement for robinsons SALE on TV. And i still can't believe it's over, but then again it's a good thing because now i have extra wed/thurs nights to mug for BLOCKS...eeeee.....revision which i have already started of course. YES. NO. OH NO. Joelynn exhibits withdrawal symptoms from AMERICAN IDOL, through increased incidences of scatterbrain-ness, random emotional outbursts, increased plays on AMERICAN IDOL SONGS on ipod, singing "And So It Goes" in the toilet/early hours of the morning....

END OF TERM. End of 1/2 of J1 LIFE. As well as 1/4 of JC life. Time seems to be passing so fast. So many things to consider, and even more choices to make. FInished raising funds for Sichuan Earthquake Victims/Myanmar Cyclone Nargis, and it was quite heartening, learning that hwa chong students really have a heart to know where and what would be done to the donations/money, instead of just mindlessly giving because it makes them look good, or they feel that they are obliged to JUST because it's charity. I LOVE HWACHONG. <333

END OF SPRAINED ANKLE nonsense. Hopefully. The swelling has gone done a lot, but it still feels brusied and out of place. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONCERN OVER THE PAST WEEK. To the people i know and i don't know who have asked about my ankle, wished me "GET WELL SOON", carried my 10 tons of unfiled notes all over school, 2 random kind hearted people who helped me carry my myanmar donation clothes to the booth..., gave me ankle healing advice, lent me their precious ankle guard x) teachers who have accommodated my late coming due to my irritating limp...........THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. OH yes, and no thanks to hwachong's numerous staircases and lack of ramps/lifts for poor disabled people like me. I can't imagine how inconvenient it must be for people who are actually in wheelchairs...... x(

10 practices to GRAZ, AUSTRIA (anticipation, dread, excitement, everything rolled into one giant SCHMOOZLE), choir elections coming up (I'm more saddened than excited about this because it simply means to me that even MOOOOORE seniors are leaving.... x( ). Then there's YOUthsCARE CIP, KOPI WITH MP (so exciting), preparation for BLOCK TESTS, REMEDIALS to attend, Homework to finish, PW interviews, preparation for GRAZ of course, meeting up/catching up with old friends over the holiday, MOVIES (so many nice ones), ALBUMS to anticipate, THINGS TO BUY. THINGS TO PACK. THINGS TO THROW AWAY. I mean it's like what i've managed for all 16 years of my life compressed into one JAM-PACKED month. Once again i feel like migrating to somewhere with a slower pace of living. No wonder they say if you survive hwa chong you can survive anywhere else in this world. OKAY. I CAN DO THIS. WIth the help of my extensive playlist of inspirational songs to keep me...uhh...INSPIRED and friends whom i can turn to for comfort and support anytime. x)

So...hopefully this is enough closure for now for me. I have a feeling i'll have to do another one of this in a few weeks time when something else crops up. Now i feel so physically drained that i'll probably fall straight asleep once my head touches my PILLOW. OH one more thing before i end off...

VENT. VENT. VENT. VENT. VENT.

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:50:14 GMT

I KNOW WHAT I PROMISED. BUT I NEED TO VENT. AHHHHHH...

OH MAN. I CAN'T BELIEVE I SCREWED THIS UP. EMO EMO EMO EMO EMO. (part truth/part extrapolation)
There's so many things i wish i'd said, and even more that i wish i'd done. SO MANY VOICES VOICES RINGING IN MY EAR.
WHICH IS THE VOICE THAT I WAS MEANT TO HEAR......HOW WILL I KNOW.....WHERE DO I GOOOOOOO....FROM HEEEEERE.

ARGHIFY ARGH. ARGHIFIED ARGHNESS. BOOHOO. i'll be depressed for a looooong time i think. (LOOOOONG meaning for the duration of this post. I have every confidence that it'll help me feel better. OKAY. i hope. please OH GOD help me feel better.)

heeeheee. no matter. NOW FOR SOME ENTERTAINMENT. I wish i'd provided in the Faculty Committee interview today...
OH MAN. MR TEH WAS THERE. <333 and he smiled at my mention that i was an EX-History Student. OH YEAH.
Oh, back to the EMO, i actually thought that interviews would be individual. x) Then i think i would have d(ARES) to sing
the songs i prepared. But it's TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE.....IT'S TOOOOOO LATE. NOOOOO....

It would have just felt weird singing in front of more than 3 people i didn't know. Ehehe....but in the event that they actually accept my idea of holding a song/cheer competition it is imperative that i state that i edited the lyrics of this song first, lest i lose my prize of dinner/date with fac hunk/babe. Ahahaha. OKAY. HERE GOES....(seriously, no offence to Apollo/Athena/Artemis people, the song is only written out of LOVE and for the entertainment of all faculties, but mostly ARESIANS heh.) THE FOLLOWING IS COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL. I WILL BE FAMOUS
ONE DAY AND EARN A WHOLE LOTTA MONEY OUT OF THIS. MARK MY WORDS.

I AM YOUR FAC BABE. (I WANT IT THAT WAY.)

You are my FIRE
The one desire
Believe when I say
Ares took my heart away.

I know, Artemis believes
that blue is cool.
But I just gotta say,
EMO is not the way.

[Chorus]

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' like our fac heads...
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' like the colour red.
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
that i'm not your fac babe.

ARES is my fire
MY one desire
Yes I know there's ATHENA
but they are too CHEENA.

LASTLY there's APOLLO.
They think that they so PRO
They have a mascot,
A body it hasn't got/That looks like a horny DOT.

(the fact that there's 2 options doesn't mean i have anything against Apollo, seriously.)

[Chorus]

(BRIDGE)
Now I can see that we're going to start
A new term for the fac comm, yea-ah
No matter the result
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me...

ARES is my fire
MY ONE desire
ARES
ARES, ARES, ARES

Don' wanna hear you say...
Ain't nothin' like our fac heads...
Ain't nothin' like crimson RED...
(I wanna hear you say)
Don't wanna hear you say..
THAT i'm not your fac babe.

Tell me why
Our PASSION will never fade
Tell me why
OUR pullovers are the best made
Tell me why
We got the hottest hunks and babes
PLUS we got Mr Teh..

Oooo...
ARES took my heart away.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY WISH I SANG IT. But it would seem really awkward because i couldn't seem
to fit it anywhere....Like i half expected them to ask about the talents part...but oh well, but dear friends who wish to hear a sneak preview
can come approach me anytime. hahaha....if responses are good i'll post a recording or something. x)

More about the song, i was actually inspired by the DNA video they showed us that day during BIO lecture. Those 2 guys were really really really good. AND I could have done so much more with the opportunity given to me i think. Didn't mention the ribbon thing for fac CIP,
or the working with ACRES for CIP. Or elaborate on the establishing a more sophisticated platform for communication between the comm and comm wannabes like me. Or Or aiyah. a lot of things lah. Sometimes the amount of time/effort you put in will not give you
the result you want immediately i guess. Hopefully some suggestions will see the light of day.....somewhere out there beneath the
pale moon light. (OKAY, when i'm stressed i recite weird song lyrics.)

OKAY STOP EMO JOELYNN. ON TO THE NEXT SONG.

Anybody know the tune to WINNIE THE POOH? x)
This one was inspired by the fac head question..."Pullover sales are not doing so well...what would you do to convince ppl
to buy them blahblah..."

DEEP in the Hundred ARES wood....
Where Bryan and Jin Yang play..../Where John Peter and Rachel play....
There lived a little horsie who....
BECAAAAAAME RED ONE DAY...

ARES LOVES YOU, ARES LOVES YOU.         (Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh)
That's why we are trying to sell this to you...   (Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff)
ARES LOVES YOU, ARES LOVES YOU....      (Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh)
COME AND BUY ONE TODAY.                         (Willie little silly old bear...)

OKAY. Now that it's all said and done i feel an awful lot better. Still have to work on my nerves i think.
I think that being a good Aresian entails sticking with the facutly no matter what, so i hope my enthusiasm
doesn't die out for various reasons, like STRESS, or *ahem* weekly distractions from (DAVID ARCHULETA OHMYGOSH. <333),
or that i might not get a chance to allow the juniors to experience what this fac comm has done for us. Hopefully, they'll ask for volunteers and we could sign up and get CIP hours and all be bloody enthu and HAPPY about everything.

In retrospect, i think that this experience has really taught me like a WHOLE LOT about communication, saying the right things at the right time, gauging other people's reactions, coping with nerves (failed miserably), speaking to once peers who are now your interviewers (supreme weirdness.) SO YEAH. I SHOULD GO FOR MORE INTERVIEWS. Whooopeee. It's over anyway and AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH, AIN'T NO VALLEY LOW ENOUGH TO KEEP ME AWAY FROM being me again. TAKE IT IN YOUR STRIDE JOELYNN. Even if it's an awfully loong and depressing and tragic and EMO rooooaad.

I TELL YOU i am so hormonal.

OKAY time to end off.

E is for Emotional, ruins everybody's day...
M is for Miserable People....
O is for on the DARK SIDE, where we have some fresh cookies...
COOKIES! WOO!

Watch "How to be EMO" on youtube. It makes me feel so much better. All the time. Okay thank you God i really feel better.
Time to MUG CHEM/MATH/ECONS/BIO/CHOIR SCORES now. Ooo....and hopefully CSM will be FUN tmr. x) It'll be really weird being in the viewpoint of "irritating hwa chong people who cheer so loudly" now. Our juniors WILL be duly impressed. A-A-A-ARES <3333
(Now i understand why blogging is so addictive.)

MY VERY FIRST LJ POST.

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 14:23:50 GMT

Ooo....I've been meaning to do this for a really loooong time!!

Reasons which held me back:

1. Lack of time.
2. Over-reliance on Microsoft Word to help CAPITALIZE the first letters of all my sentences.
3. The gut feeling that this will intrude on homework time x(
4. Exposing (selectively) your feelings/opinions to anyone/everyone...eheh...
5. Insane fear of spelling/grammatical errors in my posts. (LJ spell check is SO COOL.)

RANDOM FACT 1
- joelynn has never blogged in all 16 years of her life. EVER.

I actually wanted to make everything perfect before i started posting but now i really can't be bothered. I'm clueless at all these blog skin-ny layout-y thingies. x) Heh, soooo many things are happening this year at an insanely fast rate. Somehow it's already mid-Feb, and i'm afraid that by this time next year i would have forgotten everything i've done.

Reasons which made me start:

1. Lack of commitments. (oh the irony)
2. Lack of the presence of my ABSOLUTE FAV. SUBJECT IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE....HISTORY in my current subject combi.
3. Fear of losing my english language proficiency
4. The start of a new lunar year on the chinese calendar, albeit a start that was a little late. hehe...
5. I didn't want to waste my lovely lj name/acc. heh. can't believe i actually managed to get my name...much thanks to louise for making me sign up...uhh...waaay last year.

FIRSTLY. (WHY BCME INSTEAD OF HLEM.)

It was THE click. The one click that would determine where i would end up 2, 5, 10 years down the road. And i am ashamed to confess that even as I placed my finger over the touch pad i had no idea where this would be leading. I knew the BCME combi would mean MUGGING. As in ACTUAL MUGGING, and being a self-professed procrastinator i have problems visualizing this. Especially for chemistry, which i barely made the requirement of course. But i went for it anyway, and now my life revolves around "chem tut due tues, bio tut due mon, go early for bio lect or get scolded by scary lecturer." I guess there are good sides to it. I'd like to say that my life is so much more organized and categorized now. Chemistry and Math require you to think logically and present your explanations in a clear and concise manner, skills which i have NEVER possesed. And my trip to the US last year helped me to discover what i lacked in order to achieve self-actualization. Weell, at least Biology and Economics are fun, and i've got really cool tutors as well! x)

OH, this in addition to seeing the class allocation, meeting my CT group, my wonderful seniors, being in ARES, meeting all the tutors. I dunno, it makes everything fall in place nicely as if everything was the way it was meant to be. I wouldn't say i hate my current situation, but i'd really hate to encounter a situation in the future where i go "DANG why didn't i choose HLEM?!' Soo...yeah. The fear of regretting making a choice which results in more fear for 'A levels'. I have absolutely no idea how i'm going to manage getting an "A" for chem in "A levels" especially. It's simply not done. Which also explains the fear.

Entering the science stream BCME (for ppl who have absolutely no clue and assumed i went with HLEM - still filled with self-doubt about this choice though x) ) made me realize the importance of recording stuff down logically and systematically. I'm doing chemistry tutorials and asking myself why why why over and over again...I really hope i've made the right decision. Not that i actually hate the subjects, i mean it's just that the love and passion and the feeling that time isn't passing at all when you do assignments doesn't happen for me in chemistry (or math) like in history.

But i guess i'm really lucky to be placed in the care of conscientious and hardworking classmates, who constantly encourage me with their outstanding acheivements in math assignments and chem tutorials. They also do not fail to motivate me by turning up at the CT bench at 6:30 am and starting on math tut 5B when the lecturer hasn't even started lecture series 5. The Importance of Being Ear-ly....not. argh. Hopefully i can catch on to this mugging spirit soon. I don't remember working this hard in ages. Oh. Now i do, i think that was in primary 2 when i only got 97 for Chinese in mid-years and my mother brought out the cane and for EOYs i got 98.

Ooo....for people that were not aware, my entire class actually signed up for H1 chinese initially, resulting in our placement in 08S7A. Hah, when our seniors found out it was hilarious, half of them didn't believe us, and the other half called us idiots. Okay maybe more than half called us idiots. Anyway...it seemed like we all wanted to learn chinese to gain an advantage for future business opportunities in China or something. But then we realized that all of us were mostly sleeping during the H1 chinese introductory lecture so we uhh...weren't aware of the curriculum and scope of the subject. HOW CAN THERE BE NO 报章报导for EOYs? HOW ON EARTH WILL ANY CHINESE STUDENT BE ABLE TO SURVIVE THE EXAM BY WRITING A DESCRIPTIVE CHINESE ESSAY?? So in an entirely cowardly gesture (got my A for HCL.), i cruelly forsaked my mother tongue and iconized my spoken chinese proficiency with "男蚊子可以帮助花变成水果，而女蚊子只会吸别人的血."
In an entirely random note:

OH MAN I MISS HISTORY SO MUCH. I actually feeel like doing SBQs. "I agree with the statement to a larger extent. This source is unreliable in cross-reference to my contextual knowledge as well as other sources." AWWW.....

OH HISTORY PPL STILL OUT THERE
HEAR MY PLEA
GIMME YOUR NOTES
AND YOU'LL GET LEFTOVER V.DAY COOKIES FOR FREE.

And i wish i were doing LIT. (i haven't written any poetry since P4 CAP. hmph.)

Ahh...some things just never change huh. I hope it's possible to keep the "history-ness", "411-ness" and "randomness" even while mugging and reverting to what is termed as "hwachong speak". ARGH. I can ~~actually~~ actualy feel my ~~english~~ engrish slipping away, I AM SO SORRY MR LEE. ...What if all i'm left with at the end of 2 years in Hwachong is, "Eh..you gg lah. Whole day emo sia, then tuts all never do, 去死吧 you owe me the 钱 from fishtank mango madness since 昨天. GG...gggggggg!!!" - not that i said this, or will say this or, i dunno....OH THE FEAR. >< And it doesn't help that GP is sooooo dry. Or that being responsive in class awards you weird stares from your classmates. I need to read more books, and NEWSWEEK not just to complete GP homework. Do you guys have to do the stupid vocab crossword thing too in the GP newsweek quiz (if you even have it) or is it some form of discrmination against science stream students?! Imagine skipping over how Hillary's alleged racist remarks were used by Obama to gain support in Georgia to find a word that means "disrespect and intense dislike - contempt". !!!

OKAY. I'm tired. It's been a looong day. Prac for Valentine's Day SINGING telegram for church in the morning, followed by painful tightening of braces (it's taking forever. idiot teeth.), then ardous and tortuous PIANO CLASS for 3 1/2 hrs.. AH EXAM MARCH 11, I JUST WANNA PASS. PASS. PASS. Uhh...to end off i want to state publicly what topics i shall attempt to cover in the next few weeks...

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER....

1. MY LURVELY CLASS - 08S7A and SENIOR CLASS - 07S7A!! <33
2. ALL ARES RELATED THINGS - dramafest, fac dance, war games, orientation, x-country, etc.
3. CNY CNY CNY.
4. VALENTINE'S DAY 2008.
5. CHOIR CHOIR CHOIR CHOIR. yay.
