Bye!

Hi.

Well, this has been a very good week. It was great to see Joellymo and Maki and Paul. I will miss them tremendously (until I see them again soon).

I am glad we have so many good photos too. Yes.

Anyway, now Mom is making some pancakes. I had a piece of pie too. Heh. And it's back to school tomorrow. But only 22 days left.

So, that is all. Bye.

Good time

hi.

Well, we are having a great time so far. We have played the Wii (me for the first time. I am really good at bowling.) We have gone mega shopping. Today we are doing some more shopping. Yes.

Paul is being very good and happy. He is so cute!

Anyway, that is all. Bye!

Cleaning

Well, I had a good lesson yesterday. I didn't fall/jump off. Grandma and Grandpa want me to take them to one of my lessons. So I will take them next Saturday.

And... I am looking forward to today! Hopefully Joellymo will be feeling better. I have cleaned my room so it looks ok. There should be enough room in here.

So... I have pretty much finished my English paper, even though I believe it is due on December 11. Heh. I was just in the mood to work on it this weekend.

That is all. Bye.

Ahhh! Splat.

Hi.

Well, I went to my riding lesson this morning. Apparently Katie was sick, so Sam was there.

It went very, very well. I felt really good. However, I fell off Gracie again. I actually jumped off her. I abandoned ship.

It was quite funny actually. She started cantering but I let her. I did this for about ten seconds and Sam said, "wow you are cantering on her beautifully!" So I was like Great! But then she ran up to the corner and she ran right for the fence. I thought O My God, she's going to jump the fence! Hahahaha. Of course she would never do that. But that's what I thought anyway. So I jumped off her.

But I had a really great time otherwise.

That is all. Bye!

Looking forward to it.

I saw Zahra yesterday before class. I told her I dropped math. She said she is still hanging in there. Actually, she wanted to copy some of my notes from a day she had missed a couple weeks ago.

And today is my appointment with Dr. Fung. I will tell him once again what a miracle he has prescribed to me. But then I have to do my blood work. Did I tell you about my experience at the lab last time? It was awful. The guy spent five minutes trying to get blood in my right arm. It hurt a lot. Then someone else got blood from my left arm. So... I am hoping that doesn't happen again. Yes.

Anyway, Joellymo and Maki-san and Paul-chan are coming tomorrow!!! Yay! Please come to our house Saturday for dinner. That would be very nice. I hope you have a safe flight!

And Grandma and Grandpa are coming on Monday! Ahh! So many guests! But it will be fun.

Clean room

Hi.

I went riding yesterday instead of Saturday. I had a good time. Katie wants me to come in on Thursday and do a private lesson with her. So I am going in on Thursday.

And I am busy cleaning my room so that our esteemed guests will have a place to stay at our house. Things look pretty good right now. Tomorrow we are getting new carpet installed. So we will have to put all the stuff from Mom's room into my room.

What do you think about the prospect of Hillary Clinton as Sec. of State? I dunno about that. Some say she will not like being beneath Obama.

Anyway, that is all. Bye.

Hi.

Well, I went into Subway Sandwiches today and the lady I always see there said, "hey you're early today!" I guess I go in there a lot, haha.

And, god, I have a lot of time now that I am not going to math.

And my knees were bad again today. Especially when I first wake up and get out of bed. I literally cannot walk.

Anyway, that is all. Bye.

Oh, and Posey is having a huge fight with A'amna's cat Simba right now. And Bernie has been eating rats. Eating them. Ingesting them. And then he throws up.

Hello

Well, I am experiencing severe knee pain again. It's worse this time. This morning I could not lift my legs to get into the shower, much less walk. But it's much better right now. Just sleeping is tough.

But I got a new paper assigned in English. The question is, "how different are humans from other animals?"

I guess it sounds interesting. I don't know how I will do it though.

Anyway, mom liked my analogy I used for having a new president. I said it is like having a new baby - you are obsessed and every day is new and exciting.

So... that is all. Bye!

Funny pic of our new administration

Hello

Hi.

Well, I just withdrew from Math 1. I don't have to have a grade for it.

I am sad and happy. I am sad because I was hoping that I could have done better. And maybe I could have passed. But that was a risk. I am happy because I am done with math! At least for now. I will probably have to take some more later. But not for a while. I survived through more than half of the semester.

Now mom is sad because I will be spending more time at home, haha. But not next semester. Nope. I will be gone all day on Monday and Wednesday. I went to go check out the classrooms yesterday. They seem ok. No more classes in the really nice 2400 building.

I think Obama picked a person for Press Secretary. And he picked David Axelrod to be his senior advisor. That was the guy who ran his campaign. Good choice I think, since the campaign went so well.

Now I have less than two months until the semester ends. It ends for one of my classes on December 18. Another class ends on Dec. 22. In History 25, the only thing left is the final test. It will be multiple choice only, while the first two included essay portions. In History 8 I only have an essay and a final test. Both are due on the last day of the semester.

So... I am pretty confident I will do well. And we have one more paper for English, some quizzes on The God Delusion, and one reading response on a sample from the textbook.

Anyway, that is what's going on right now. Not too much. Bye!

Hi.

Well, English went well.

But... I have to make a decision. Tomorrow is the last day to drop a class. After that, you are stuck with a grade. Now...there is a very good chance that I will not pass calc. So... what should I do? I don't want to ruin my GPA with a d or f.

And I approve Obama's selection of Rahm Emmanuel as chief of staff. I don't know anything about him, but I like the way he looks. He looks good and very liberal and smart. It will be so nice to have a nice looking White House, especially with Michelle Obama as First Lady.

The Republicans have already slammed Michelle because she wore a dress "straight off the runway" on Tuesday. Well, guys, she is the First Lady now and she is allowed to wear nice clothes.

Anyway, I also watched Sean Hannity's show last night. He talked with a guest about their hopes that Obama will "change his mind" about all the issues once he is in office. Once he really gets to know "our brave men and women" he will just change his mind about the war. He will "evolve" as a president. Hahahahahahaha. I feel bad for them. They are just dreaming though.

Ah, yes. So I know now that with my schedule for the Spring, I will be at school on Mondays from 9:30 am to 4:20 pm. !! This is because I am taking two science classes that both have three hour lab periods outside the lecture. That's pretty heavy duty. I will have to work really hard. But I am good at working really hard.

.... that is all. Happy first day of Obama's presidency-elect.

Edit: I just heard that Obama ended up winning North Carolina. Barely. Another red state is blue.

Good morning

Well, I got an A on my history test. Yay!

And I just registered for classes for next semester. I got into chemistry, biology, anthropology, and speech. Yes.

So, I am very happy.

But I am bummed about prop 8. I don't know about any of the other props. Oh well.

So... I am very happy that we will have a new president soon. And no more McCain/Palin nonsense. Mom and I disagree about Sarah Palin. I think she is secretly really relieved that she lost, but mom thinks she is very ambitious and wants to do more. I don't know. Who knows?

Anyway, yes. I am very happy right now. Except for math. I have a 65% average on three tests so far. And we have one more test plus a final. So I think I can improve this.

However, we have now started integral calculus. Yeah, I don't get it too well. I have had some experience with differential calculus, so that was a little easier. But now it is something completely new. I haven't learned something completely new in math for a long time. So, we will see.

But I am looking forward to bio and chem next semester. I really liked my bio class at Foothill, so now I will get to do more with it. And I like chemistry. It is very difficult, though. Some of it is easy. It requires very easy math.

I am waiting for English so I can turn in my evolution vs. intelligent design paper. I think it turned out pretty good. I think next week we will start reading "The God Delusion."

Now the guessing game begins for who will be in Obama's cabinet, etc. I don't know if he will pick any Republicans. Maybe he will. But how will that work, having Republicans helping you make decisions?

Anyway, yesterday in math, I heard from another classroom Obama's and McCain's speeches from Tuesday playing really loudly. It was quite funny. Mrs. Henson would say, "now let's take the derivative Pi/x" interrupted by "Yes we can!" Hahahaha. Haha.

So that was fun. Now I will... wait some more. Bye!

Yay!

Well...

President Obama!

Yes.

Gah

Hi.

Well, I did really well on my History 25 test today. That's the good news.

However, I did not do so well on my math test. I got 46%. Haha.

Anyway, Zahra's friend Yasmeen did bad too and now she is dropping the class.

Believe it or not, someone in my class got 100% on the test. Without any extra credit. Just got every question right. Idiot. Or bitch. I hate whoever that is.

So... that is all. Now it is raining and I am very comfortable inside with my blanket.

Party day

Hi.

Well, it is supposed to rain today. But I don't see any.

It sure rained yesterday! It rained for half my riding lesson.

I had a really good ride on Gracie yesterday. The best ride I have had on her. Katie, my instructor, taught me a miracle trick that keeps Gracie going in the direction I want. Katie said I did it really well. When you do something well she says, "YES!" She is really nice.

Anyway, I hope we have a good party today. It will be fun.

Weird

Hi.

Last night I had a vision. Or just a dream.

In it I was watching the election night coverage on MSNBC. They announced that Obama won. Then they showed him at a huge giant rally giving some thank you speech. Next they showed a huge giant McCain rally. McCain and his wife were there. He was wearing a clown suit and a mask. He took the mask off and started crying.

Yes, I really dreamed this. I also had a dream earlier that people would start calling Obama a "communist" and that came to pass. So... I think this is a good sign. Haha.

Anyway, that is all. Bye.
