I felt like I was dying last night. Not to sound dramatic or anything, but I really thought I was gonna die last night. Okay I am just typing some pathetic shit. But really in the previous entry you saw how I said that I felt that those flu symptoms? Well I didn’t go to bed at 9 as I planned. I stayed up till 12 figuring out my damn Visual Basics stuff and doing the homeworks for it. By then I believe my sore throat became worst and I think I was running a fever. It had to be fever cuz I was shivering from those damn chills.

I went to bed and wrapped myself with my blanket. I kept waking up through the next four hours. I was burning, and I had the blanket on me. But strangely I didn’t break out in sweat at all. And everytime I woke up, I kept going back to sleep because I had the feeling someone was ordering me to do that. I think I was semi-delirious. When it was 4 am, I couldn’t handle it anymore and went to my mom to see if I can get some medicine or something. My mom felt my forehead and was pretty damn shock. By then I was feeling awful. I haven’t been this sick since 7th grade. My entire body was sore and was burning. My sinuses and ear were all clogged up so it was painful. I think my temperature by then was like 105 degrees or something. Okay I didn’t have a thermometer so I have no clue. But I was burning.

Went to mom she made me take these pills. Then she suggested that I should take a bath with the water temperature slightly cooled. I agree and I even made her put in bubble bath mix. Well I spent like 20 minutes in the tub and that really helped. Then I spent the next 20 minutes as well using an ice pack on me. That helped and by 5 am I went back to bed. I woke up at 10 and my fever is gone and I am much better now. I’m glad, but really last night scared the living daylights out of me. I guess since it’s been so long since I was really sick (that time in 7th grade or was it 6th??? My aunt claimed that I was sleepwalking due to the fever I had.), that I forgot how bad it can get. Argh…

I hate getting sick. Normally when I get sick I don’t tell my mom or dad, but some cases I just can’t stand it. I need them. And I need my mom nursing me. I do miss those old days, but now that I am older I just feel like I am just putting more burden on her than necessary. *sighs* I wanted to cry last night when I saw how much my mom was in pain because I WAS SICK. Guilt makes you feel shitty. I hate burdening my parents like that. Though I am surprised that I recovered fast, I don’t wanna get this sick again!

Dear me I got the flu symptoms. More accurately I got a sorethroat and I got that flu soreness all over my body. It’s the type of freaking soreness that makes my skin just hurt in a weird way. It’s only there when I got the flu. Dammit. Stupid weather. I wished it’d make up its mind! The damn forecast said that a typhoon is coming. Oh goody. I so can hardly wait. But ohwell. I got the whole weekend to recuperate. I guess lack of sleep and freezing classroom and hot weather outside got to me. Gah I feel so drowsy and so sore. And I am hot. Agh. 3 day weekend is wonderful.

I withdrew 100 bucks today. 50 bucks for my mom as her REALLY early b-day present. I also bought my dad’s present, a 25 dollar shirt. I hope he wore it in the bowling league tonight. And I hope he likes it. I couldn’t find anything else to buy so I just bought that. And the other 25 dollar was for me to splurge on. I wanted to get something, but didn’t find anything desirable to get. I was looking for this one book and couldn’t find it. And not many good Dragonlance book was availiable so I didn’t bother either. Yes, Jen and David got me addicted to the series and I only read the first 15 chapters in the first book. I love Raistlin. Reminds me so much of Snapey-poo and Tasslehoff. That kender is so lively. ^_^ Dear me I must finish that book this weekend. So enjoyable!

But argh. I really don’t feel well so I am gonna go bed and it’s only like 9 PM. Okay maybe I won’t sleep, but I’ll try to. Argh stupid flu or cold. Damn you virus and bacteria!

“Stupid patriotic monkey [Bush]. Hey FBI, I know you’re reading this. Come arrest me, I’m only an insignificant angsty teenager!” — Kristine

Haha! Thanks to her, I got a new nickname for Mr. Bush now. Stupid Patriotic Monkey. XD. That cracked me up! I am so peeved right now. Ever since school started, each morning, we’d rise and stand and do the damn thing called Pledge of Allegiance. Uh I’m sorry, but isn’t that AGAINST the federal law? And that “One nation under God” thing. Uh… what if you don’t believe in God or you got a different religion? Shite after 2 days of doing that shit and hoping that they will stop it, I’m just gonna stand there and keep my mouth clamped shut from now on. I don’t care. I did it enough in Elementary school. I don’t need to do it in high school as well! Espescially during my senior year! I mean hell half the classrooms don’t even have a flag so … yeah whatever. I told Jen this and she said that she’d start a fucking petition against it. I am seriously debating about this. Bah! I don’t care. I’ll just keep my mouth shut and if anyone asks why I am not saying it, I’ll smack them. *nods* That’s a good solution.

Well anyways I started my Visual Basic course in a way. During 3rd period my Lotus Notes weren’t set up so I just went to the online one. Guess what is my assignment each day I come to class? I have to send my distance ed teacher, the weather report of Seoul, South Korea. *dies* I don’t believe that. That is JUST weird. x_X;; If you want the weather report, can’t you just go to those website that has the current weather stuff online? Aiya mon. But yeah… 2 distance ed course. I be dead. GAH! Lotus Notes sure doesn’t look cool. Haha. Ohwell. I don’t have anything else to rant about so yeah later.

I’m tired and I want to sleep so I’m gonna straight through this. *nods*

Cisco Networking 2: Whoo hoo. Only 3 people taking CN2. That would be Raphael, Thomas, and Me. Aigoo. All 3 of us were dead this morning. Mr. Gamble wasn’t here, so Mr. Behr was there. He told us 3 that we had to go connect a network of 5 computers. We had to make one straight-through and crossover cables. And all 3 of us forgot the color coding. I only remembered the straight-through one. Thank something that Mr. Behr gave us that color coding sheet. ^^;; Then me and Raphael were doing each end and … that moron put the jack on backward and I told him before that it was supposed to go the other way around. However I didn’t clarify on it because I wasn’t sure if I was right. x_X;; So I just let it pass, but apparently I was right. Haha… we didn’t exactly finish the damn thing and Mr. Behr just said to go to our next class and that he’d check it. Aigoo. We looked so stupid in front of the CN1 classmate. Unfortunately for me Livingstone is in that class and … he knows more than me. I wouldn’t be surprised now if he moves up to CN2. *hisses and sneers* BOO!

AP Government: Okay … first off I ended up having Ryan Staples as my desk buddy and Daniel Lathrop, my old crush was there. Haha. Ohwell. And yes Livingstone and Daniel Lee were there as well. Poor me. XD But yeah whatever. We discussed these 2 worksheets thing and I think I got lost at one point or another. Well there was this one point where Mr. Boyd was asking us what Power meant. And for some reasons, the only word that kept popping up in my head that describes power was Corruption. I was suprise when no one else said that. Every one else said positive stuff on it and I was gonna bring that up, but it was uh a little too late for me when Mr. Boyd went on to the next agenda.

[[RANT]]

Then we had this debate thing and we had to split into a scale thingie. Like one side of the room had people that supported the controversial topic 100% and the other side was where 100% opposed. Then in the middle we had the middles. ^^;; Well the topic was Same Sex Marriage. My kind of topic baby. And of course I stood in the 100% supported section. There was only 5 of us. 4 girls and 1 guy. ^^;; But honestly I can understand why some people are against it, but there are 5 reasons that I will not consider legitamate and reasonable. They are: 1) It’s just ain’t right. That is not a reason if you don’t have a fucking reason to say why it isn’t right! 2) It’s against the bible. Well excuse me but the bible isn’t 100% accurate and why the hell should you believe what is against and not against a freaking book? I mean honestly. The bible is over 2000 years old, has been through 3 translations with many translation mistakes so why should you? 3) It’s just morally wrong. *coughs and clears throat* Someone explain to me exactly what is morally right and wrong nowadays? I mean jesus fucking christ. How is loving someone and getting married legally gonna be wrong? If it’s done legally, then fuck off! 4) It’s not normal. AHEM!!! WHAT IS NORMAL THESE DAYS!!! GOD DAMN YOU PEOPLE! WE ARE SO DAMN DIVERSE NOW, SO ENOUGH WITH THIS NORMAL BULLSHIT! 5) It’s biologically infuctionable. *coughs* Sex is sex and if reproducing is the problem here, then forget it. Judging from our technology, in another 100 or 200 or even less years, there may be some things where you can get male pregnancy to start so booya! I’d love to see the days when male actually have to go through pregnancy! Now whether I’ll be alive then or not, that’s an entirely different matter.

Now I know there are problems regarding same sex marriages and all that… but what about heterosexual marriages? They have as much problems anyways! I mean just look at the divorce rates crying out loud and that thing is against the freaking bible too if you want to get all religious on me! So explain how divorce is not against the bible anymore and same sex is? And if you think 2 father or mother raising a girl or guy is wrong, then what about those single parents anyways? I understand not everyone will accept it, but jesus! You heterosexual people, leave the homosexuals alone. You don’t see them harrassing heterosexuals people, so abide their wishes and let them be as well! If you don’t like same-sex marriages then whatever! Just try to look at it at all POVs. I am looking at the opposed POVs and I understand various reasons, but those 5 reasons up there are not legitimate and I’m sorry but those are what some of my classmates said and I wanted to cuss them out big time. I am still steamed about this and I hate the fact how I am surrounded by narrow-minded idiots at this school. UGH!

[[/RANT]]

Seminar: I have Ms. Wilkin again and I think she’s secretly glad that Eric isn’t in there anymore. *laughs* No more wars for her … although I do miss those days. *sighs* We had that stupid back to school intro by the princies and then I started reading Dragon Lance chronicles and after only 3 pages I am deeply interested. Must read it! ^^

English 12: I am officially in love with Ms. Pell. She’s an awesome teacher. And surprisingly she knew my name before I completed it. I just told her Tara, and then she said my last name. I asked how she knew that and she said that after 7 years of typing my name for Renaissance, she knows me. And since I am the only Tara with a rather unusual last name. Overall my full name is unique so I guess it got stuck to her after all. But that class seems cool and I am looking forward to it. Not to mention David is in that class! whoo hoo! ^^ Well I’m done! Whoot!

Whee. First day of school. Very interesting and uneventful at the same time. *nods* This is my wonderful schedule and to notify everyone, my school uses Block Scheduling and it’s one of those things with 4 classes and you alternate between A days and B days.

Interesting eh? I’ll start off my day now. I woke up 10 minutes before six. I sorta had trouble falling asleep and then I miraculously slept before 12. Then I kept waking up and on till I woke up. Got online and I had a bowl of … old cheerios. Gag. Then I showered and got ready and left the house couple minutes before 7. Got to school and got my schedule fairly early and … I realized they didn’t give me my damn locker # and combination. I went to the office and got that done. Went upstair to test my locker and it opened fine. Funny how in all my high school career, I never got a locker with wrong combination. XD I be lucky.

Band: Now that concert band is one whole freaking band again, I got my sax buddy back! David! ^_^ I was happy. Not only that Coronet and Angel Tears were in that class. After a little fun group work thing… in which all of us couldn’t do well, considering how fuzzy our minds are, we did that. And yay! We got our instrument lockers so that perked me up XD. No more idiots stealing my reeds and no one moving my instrument to a different shelf! Whoot!

Career Practicum (aka CWE): Coronet was in that class as well and after Mr. Fried droned on and on about these shit that I heard last year, he left us with a sub. I talked with Coronet and Jenny and had fun. Coronet and I were talking about Time Limits and the … bad stuff about it. Won’t say what because I don’t feel like it!

Pres/Pub: … I didn’t want this class. I ended up getting this instead of C++ and the stupid school decided to stick all the damn C++ in one class and that was last period and I wanted to stay in there because David was in there, and for 3 years now, we ended up being in the same English class and it’s practically a tradiiton now for me to bug him so I wanted to stay in there. XD. I didn’t want to take this class cuz I knew no matter how well I do it, Mr. White would have been damn picky and I wouldn’t get an A. So I asked if I could take Visual Basics and he said I can. Now if the school lets me then I’ll be happy! Hope I get VB! ^^ Karey and Richard and Jenny were in that class as well so I talked with them and all that shit. Had fun. Mainly talked about video games XD.

Lunch: Went to ACS first to see if I can talk to my old CWE supervisor. Wasn’t there today. x_X;; So I gotta talk to him tomorrow. Boo! Then I went to BK and met up with Jen and the group. Smoked me 3 of Jen’s cigs and then I left without eating lunch cuz my dad forgot to give me money and I forgot to ask this morning. I don’t want to know how that happened!

CSS: Must make mental note not to get this confuses with Cascading Style Sheets! Was … okay. Livingstone ended up being in my class and I got 2 more freaking classes with him tomorrow as well! Someone up there do NOT like me. But it’s funny how he didn’t get a locker # and combo. He went and got it and it was in the Junior Hallway. BWAHAHA! Fucker. Well there was only so far 6 people in that class and I happen to be the only girl. *grumbles* We need more girls taking those computer classes! Gonna be interesting though… I think. I’ll learn all the major parts of the PC (finally) and hopefully by the end of the semester I can build it from scratch! ^_^ Basically Mr. Fried just went on and on through this huge packet and I swear that man is nice, but utterly boring. >_< ;; Aiya Mon. Thank god I'll only see him once instead of twice. I can't wait till I go to ACS. *nods*

Well that was my day and it seems like I’ll have an easier A day this year. Which is kind of strange considering since 9th grade, my A days were horrendous. Now my B-day is hard and I can’t skip those! *cries* Poor moi! Well now I’ll see how tomorrow goes. I was so disappointed to see that David wasn’t in my AP Gov’t class. He has it 3rd period. *pouty* BOO! Ohwell…blog my B day tomorrow!
