When It's All Over...



I've finished all my college applications, and my midterms... as I stated in the post below. Now I feel freer. Very much so.
I'm going to go out and have time with my friends for the first time in almost two months (I was under house arrest until I finished my college applications... -_-;).

So I'm going to go watch a movie and chill at the mall and maybe shop (I hate shopping, but I really want new sweatpants...).
I'm hoping to watch this movie tomorrow:



It's going to come out tomorrow, so now one is going to be able to tell me how it is... but it's rated R. Haha. My boyfriend can finally watch rated R movies without breaking the law... -_-; God I feel so lame.
Not that we've ever done that (other than once when we went as a huge group) since I freak out about things like that...

My psychology teacher's house burned down 2 weeks ago, so she has been absent a lot. And apparently we have a test next week on Chapter 8: Learning... It's not like we ever do anything in that class anyways, so I guess it doesn't matter, but we actually haven't done anything.
But then again... what we usually do is watch a movie. Like, seriously. And then take a test after a few weeks. Last class, we watched Rain Man (we didn't finish) because she wasn't there again. But we watch movies even when she is there, so we aren't missing much. The other day, she specifically told us that we are going to do NOTHING, so we spent an hour and a half talking.
I utterly love that class. But unfortunately, I think most of the class isn't going to get good grades on the AP test.
We have 18 chapters to cover, we've covered 8, and it's 3rd quarter. I personally think that's pretty hilarious.
I'm just going to end up reading the whole AP book the week of the test anyways.

Prom is sandwiched between the two AP tests again!!! How bad could they be at planning anything?! Like, seriously... I didn't go last year because I had AP tests... But this year... I'm going anyways... I mean... It's totally senior year...

I've heard back from three colleges. My mom seems to have made a decision based on the scholarship they are giving me... $15,000 a year for a $17,000 a year school... -_-; I sure hope she's not serious... Another school is giving me $12,500 (for right now) a year, but that school is $41,000 a year... And other schools that I kind of want to go to haven't replied with scholarships yet...
So I don't know what I'll do...

The tennis try-outs are at the end of Feburary, and the season starts on March 3rd, I think. I know I'll make it, but I hope I can make the ladder because being an alternate sucks. I've been playing much more than I have been for the past few years, so I hope I've gotten at least a little better.

Now that everything is over, my life has been quite calm, other than the college acceptances. They make me feel fuzzy.
Five more schools left to hear back from. I hope to be in at least 2 more of them?


You know... totally unrelated but... I think I kind of want a domain for this blog. -_-; So random.
But then again, I don't really want to waste the money. I used to have two, to anyone who knows or cares at all, at Autumn-Storm.NET, as well (which was my third domain). They all seem to disappear...
My first one was Icy-Dreams.NET and it disappeared one day when the company went bankrupt (wtf), and then Autumn-Storm.NET disappeared when it unexpectedly expired... Without my knowledge. Just like, POOF!
And Hirokache.COM is left for me... I really hope it won't go POOF! Because I like it. -_-;;
But yeah... Maybe I'll think about it. It's a whim though.

DONE!



I'm done with midterms!

And it's snowing. :D
But we already have a pre-set 4-day-weekend, so it doesn't do much to our YAY SNOW DAY!
I shovelled the snow.
My back hurts, and I feel like I'm 60.

I played cello for the first time the other day for our orchestra midterm, and I used the most obscure muscle ever in my right arm, and all through exams when I had to erase things, it got taught and hurt. -_-; Ouch.

I'm done with college apps.
I am done with midterms.
I am done with 2nd quarter.
I am done with school. Yah.

I am Boring, I Know.

Yes. I'm boring.
I'm quite aware.
Haha.

Why am I writing one short sentence per line?
I after opening my new blog, I kind of got obsessed with writing one per sentence. Just because it's so hard to read long sentences/chunks when you're dealing with Japanese. Which, I guess, is pretty annoying in English, so I'll stop.

It's weird, little things like that.
And you know what I realized?
I can't write in Japanese. Like, I can. But I've forgotten so many kanjis, and even though I know the basic structure, I make mistakes on the smallest details.
So I'm starting to write at least half of my diary in Japanese... I'm taking the Japanese AP Test as well, I think.

And though I take 3 AP classes, I think I will only take Psychology AP Test and Japanese AP Test. (What's AP Test? AP Test by College Board)

So I have a stomach virus. Yeah. I got sick. Again.
I was sick right on New Years, and I was sick for two weeks.
And after a few days since I recovered, I contracted a stomach virus.
My immune system is a mess!

And I have MIDTERMS next week. *cries*
I am so dead. SO dead.

I have so much homework (RIGHT BEFORE THE MIDTERMS?! ARE YOU INSANE YOU TEACHERS?!), but I still haven't finished one of my Honors' College essays... -__-
It's due on Tuesday...

I F-ing Love This Country



Arkansas Constitution, Article 19 Section 1 of the 1874 constitution:
"No person who denies the being of a God shall hold any office in the civil departments of this State, nor be competent to testify as a witness in any court."

Maryland's Bill of Rights:
Article 36:
"... nor shall any person, otherwise competent, be deemed incompetent as a witness, or juror, on account of his religious belief; PROVIDED, he BELIEVES in the existence of God, and that under His dispensation such person will be held morally accountable for his acts, and be rewarded or punished therefore either in this world or in the world to come."
Article 37:
"That no religious test ought ever to be required as a qualification for any office of profit or trust in this State, OTHER THAN a declaration of belief in the existence of God; nor shall the Legislature prescribe any other oath of office than the oath prescribed by this Constitution."

North Carolina's Constitution, Article 6 Sec. 8:
"Disqualifications of office. The following persons shall be disqualified for office: First, any person who shall deny the being of Almighty God...."

South Carolina's Constitution, Article 4 Section 2:
"Person denying existence of Supreme Being not to hold office. No person who denies the existence of the Supreme Being shall hold any office under this Constitution."

Texas' Bill of Rights Section 4:
"RELIGIOUS TESTS: No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall any one be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being."

-------------------------------

You know what I realized?

In this country, we have a Freedom of Religion, but that doesn't apply to people who have none, because they never promise us a Freedom From Religion.

Haha. Get it? lol.
Sorry.
