Well guys, it is officially the year of the ox :). Too bad it will not be the year of the horse until I am 24 years old. Anyways, I shall recap on this week's events :).
Before I do, I want to post this note that I posted on facebook just right now.
"Before this whole economy-spiraling-down-hil
Then, I watched the stock market go down MOSTLY EVERYDAY. You know it was funny at first. Seeing news anchors say how the DOW and NASDAQ has gone down however many points again for the however many day in a row. It was quite funny to me.
Then, going to the supermarket started to be a pain when I couldn't get my favorite ham or my favorite brand of chips because it was too expensive. When the economy starts effing with my food, then that is when I get mad. Going to the Asian Market today, I found out that roasted duck is now $20 at T.S. Emporium. WTF? Before this whole depression started, roasted duck was $10 and it has been going up $2 every week. Now it has doubled. Although my parents can still afford to buy duck, I am sure there are families who are feeling the crunch in their wallets. NOW, what happens when food is too expensive for EVERYONE to afford? Do we starve as a nation?
Then, it was quite amusing seeing corporate giants like Freddy and Fannie Mac go bankrupt along with WaMu and other banks. Then, Circuit City announces bankruptcy along with Mervyn's, which got a little scarier. At the same time, China is laughing its ass off at us because they have replaced us on the global economy. NOW WHO IS GETTING THE GREEN CARDS TO WHERE?!
Now, the depression is affecting me on a more personal level. My birthday is coming up and yet I feel restricted to my options. Birthday party? Maybe not. Going out to eat with friends? Don't count on it.
College admissions? Limited. Bright future? Not anymore."
Monday - No School due to MLK day. I just hung out with Susan and tried to study for my java final.
Tuesday - JAVA AND YEARBOOK FINAL. It was also OBAMAS INAUGURATION DAY. So I got to watch Obama's inauguration speech and oath in java class. Then I got to see his speech and oath throughout the entire day in all of my classes and at home. Although I only watched it on tv, the whole spectacle was pretty momentous though. I got a C on my java final and then played halo with Michael, George, and Gi Su after. Yearbook Final was okay. Mrs. Weber showed The Princess Diaries while I worked on layouts. Too bad I couldn't get much done because of my staff. Practice 3-5 due to finals.
Wednesday - PHYSICS AND COLLEGE ALGEBRA FINAL. Physics final was okay. Apparently, I got a C average on the final and my grade stayed at a 88%. I hope Houghton rounds and curves it. College Algebra final was a waste of time. I tried to finish first just because I was bored. I fell asleep on my backpack after the final for an hour. Practice 3-5 due to finals.
Thursday - AP GOV AND AP ENGLISH FINAL. Basically, these were my hardest finals because they were both mock AP tests. All in all, I survived the finals and hopefully I did well on them. After school, I had a yearbook work day where I inputted and worked on my layouts. Jeff and Preston were missing good mod pictures and content, again, so I couldn't entirely finish my layouts.
Friday - DISNEYLAND! I went to Disneyland with Jules, Franceska, and Susan because of band's parade. This was my 3rd time going to Disneyland, but it was really fun nonetheless. It was really cold and rainy though so when we went on California Screamin`. That was really crazy because all of the rain water was flying into my face and hair. It was painful too because my face was hitting the rain drops at probably 50 mph. After the ride, my entire sweater was soaked and my hair was dripping wet. My face hurt like heck too. It was to the point where I couldn't even open my eyes because there was so much water on it. After we dried off, we went to Disneyland where we rode Indiana Jones. Then Susan and Franceska went to get ready for the parade. I passed out on the benches and then went to Tower of Terror with Jules and rode it for the first time. After Jules and I walked along side the band during the parade, we went to Toy Story and I got 167,000 :). Then, we all ate at Rainforest Cafe where I used a coupon for a free appetizer. SCORE! We were pretty much pooped after that and we saw everyone leaving Disneyland for some reason so I guess there was no fireworks. We just decided to go home after that and I got home at around 10 that night.
Saturday - Basically, I stayed home and did nothing. I played warcraft 3 and went to the Thrift store on Holt in Chino. It was a very chill day.
Sunday - I chilled at home until around 2. Then, Susan, Franceska, Jules, and I went to a free bridal show. Susan and Franceska tried to surprise us with the bridal show but I saw the sign when we were entering Royal Vista Golf Course. Anyways, after that we went to the Puente Hills Mall where Susan bought a necklace and earrings for formal. After they dropped me off at home, I went to Macys at the Puente Hills Mall to buy a tie that matched Susan's dress. Then I ate Shrimp dumplings and duck for dinner. Then I received $100 from my mom for Chinese New Year :).
