Last Day of School & Weekend

Hello world, Friday was the last day of the last week of the last month of the last year of my public school career. It was wonderful yet sad at the same time, especially because most of my friends are staying in town and I am going out of state. I will really miss my friends but I am also excited to start fresh next year at college. On Friday after getting my cap and gown I decided not to go home and stayed the whole day even though it was encouraged for us to leave. I said goodbye to all of my teachers. Saying goodbye to my teachers was the most difficult and tear wrenching because they were my mentors this year. (7人先生：ありがとうございます。)

After school, we had a Koream club meeting where we had an epic cake fight.

Then after that, we went to the 2 dollar theatre and watched mirror mirror. My favorite part was the ending when they did a pseudo Bollywood scene where everybody danced.

On Saturday I learned how to play with my new iPhone app called smilephoto. This is how my pictures turned out:

Then, today I went to see my baby cousins and I got a few pretty good shots of them.

I hope you all enjoyed~

Two Days Left.

Hello world, today marks the second day of the last week of High school for me. Ridiculous isn’t it? Today as drove into the school parking lot i saw that our school trees had been T-Ped. It was quite interesting. Also today I finished 2 projects. Tomorrow I’m pretty much FREE!! Here are some pictures from today:

Three Days Left.

Hello world. Today marks the first day of the last week of high school for me. Can you believe it? Today was amazing. We took a walking field trip to a local icecream shop and after school I hung out with the Japanese music singing group at my school, Kisetsu.

I also finally finished watching the movie: Shakespeare In Love

30 Day Blog Challenge~Day Six

Well I have finally gotten to day six, which is: A photo of an animal you’d keep as a pet.

This dog is the cutest dog ever. His name is boo and he is very famous. He even has a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Boo), which means he is definitely cool in the web neighborhood. He is so cute and I’m sure that many people would want to take him home with them, me being one of them. I think he is a pomeranian, but just has an awesome haircut. It’s probably very expensive to get his hair cut in that particular cut unless his owners are dog groomers. But yes this is the photo of the animal I would like to take home if I could. However, I’m not very good with pets so maybe I would take him home for a couple hours just to babysit. Alrighty well I hope you guys have enjoyed this post:)

Updates!

Alrighty, here are the things I have been doing for the past maybe three weeks. Let’s see. At my high school we had our spirit week. Monday was Safari Day, Tuesday was Generation Day, Wednesday was Decade Day, Thursday was Twin/Stuffed Animal/ Crazy Hair/ Pajama Day, and Friday was of course Class Color Day. Here are some pictures of my outfits for most of the week except Monday:

As you can see because I’m a senior this year I decided to go all out for my last spirit week. We actually customized our sweaters as you can probably tell by the word, “PI” in the lower right hand corner of my sweater. I also wrote 2012 in roman numerals (MMXII) instead of the actual numbers. I also happened to be attending the dance that Friday night because my math team was selling drinks to fund raise money.

As you can see from the picture above we were selling drinks and I happened to be wearing a neon greenish yellow dress from Charlotte Russe and my Missoni for Target suede heels.

We also went on an IB English field trip to the local Science Museum and a bowling alley to celebrate the ending of our individual oral commentaries. I happened to be having a lot of fun, so I actually forgot to take pictures. However, I did get one photo of my friends and I in the computer lab after school.

I also had a Valentines Day Party at school with some of my friends. It felt like elementary school all over again!

We also had our last two math meets, but I only have pictures from the second to last meet for now. I will be posting up more pictures when they get uploaded by our coach!

And lastly, this past Friday I was invited as an IB Diploma Candidate to present on one of my CAS projects at the winter IB Coordinator Meeting. It was pretty nerve wracking because I did not know my friend and I were going to be the only students there. But I had fun and met a lot of cool IB people.

Well that is my update for now. I did also purchase my prom dress and possibly my shoes, but I have decided not to post that until later because I still have to tweak the dress a little. Well I hope you enjoyed my update:)

30 Day Blog Challenge ~ Day Five

Day 5 ~ How important do you think education is?

Hmm…I personally think education is very important. It might not be the only important thing, but it is definitely up their for me. Education is a must especially right now that I’m a senior in High School. I think that you need to have education to get somewhere unless you are really really lucky. However, going to school just because you have to go is also not good. I think that also having the drive to gain an education is important. With out the drive then their is not point learning new things. I also think that social skills are also very important. You might not learn it when you are younger, but being able to network is very important. I personally have very little social skills so I have been struggling to learn how. I’m hoping this will help me in the future when I go to college, hopefully on campus. I think that being likable and being able to talk to people is important. Because education is only half of it. This might be pessimistic, but I think it is true unless you are very very lucky. I also think that being resourceful is important. This kind of goes with education when you think of research however being resourceful can just be asking google something when no one else knows the answer. I’ve always wondered if you could get a well rounded education off wikipedia? Do you think so? Well those are my thoughts for today. I hope you guys enjoy:)

College Interviews?!

So, yesterday I had my very first college interview. It was with an Northwestern University Alumni. I was very nervous, but the woman who I spoke with was so easy to talk to that I think I did very well. It was only the first out of three this weekend.

Today I had two more interviews. The first one was with an alumni from Vanderbilt. I don’t feel like I did that well on the Vanderbilt interview because it was basically her asking me questions and me answering them. I mean I know that is what the definitions of an interview is, but with my Northwestern interview it felt more like a conversation than an interview.

After my Vanderbilt I went to my Harvard University interview at the University Club. It was so beautiful inside. It looked so old fashioned. I felt like I was looking into the future of my future home. It was so exquisite.With this interview I felt more confident because the interviewer was more laid back and I felt like I really connected with him. Hopefully that interview went well enough that he will say I should be accepted.

Now, I have a lot more interviews to do. I am super excited because I feel more confident now. I do have to admit that I am quite crazy though. Because I applied to TWENTY schools. They are:

MIT
Cal Tech
Columbia
Harvard
Yale
Brown
Duke
Stanford
Princeton
UPenn
Cornell
Vanderbilt
Northwestern
Williams
Washington University
University of Chicago
University of Minnesota-TC
Carnegie Mellon
Dartmouth

I know it’s crazy, but if I have the chance to apply to all then why not right? Well I hope you guys enjoyed this post and learning about how crazy I am:)

Friday the Thirteenth?!

Well, as you have guessed today is Friday the 13th. The day that all the serial killers come out of their homes apparently. Anyways, today I went to school with 90 minutes of sleep. Then, after school I hung around in the choir room with my friends.

As you can see my friends are pretty cool~

After going home and another hour of sleep my sisters and I headed out to a local Korean restaurant by the University of Minnesota called, Korea Restaurant. It’s a quaint place that serves delicious authentic Korean food. However, I ordered the Jajangmyu and it wasn’t that great. But I do like what my sister got,which was the spicy pork dish, I think. The restaurant is great because for non-koreans, like me they had all the dishes numbered so you don’t have to suffer the embarrassment of trying to pronounce the names of the dishes. But sadly I forgot to take pictures of the food. Next time I promise.

After the Korean food we walked around the corner to Tea Garden. Apparently, Tea Garden sells kid sized bubble teas because my sister’s friend ordered one and it was the cutest thing.

I usually order a bubble tea, but since it was such a cold night I ended up getting a Jasmine Tea Latte. It was delicious and perfect for the walk back to the Korean Restaurant, but it was not perfect for the heat in the Karaoke room above the Korean restaurant whilst singing.

I hope you guys enjoyed my blog on my un-unlucky on Friday the 13th. I hope  my un-unluckyness spreads to you guys too 🙂
