Junior year, Seaside, Yay :)

I've been a lot more mellow and chill now. This new change has been so great in my life. I'm constantly more happy, but the downside is... I'm starting to lose motivation. Finding that balance in life has always been like a teeter totter. I'm still a negative Nelly though so no worries :).

 So... I just got back from Seaside. :). Woot! (Although I won't be posting this until I get all the photos from it). I was so excited for like ever! On the car ride there, I rode with Norm, Kendall, Madi Tirrell, Anja, Ben, and Danielle. It was... definitely interesting considering Kendall's music choice. Then on our break at Starbucks, we exchanged Ben for Ethan. haha I love riding with Norm and Kendall. Both are so funny! We played card games like BS and such. Seaside was differently different this time... There was a lot less dancing and "partying". The people also seemed to be lacking. It was fun though because I got to hang out with my buddos. It was SO cold though. Like holy crap. We also got a coach in our room that was super duper nice and not a major be-otch last like year... I drew the easy course... However, St. Clair changed mine to hard so that Anja can have the easy... Whatever, it was so fun :). For some reason, I trusted Kendall to paint on my face... She hurt me from head to toe this entire trip. No joke. Pain. So much. :(

Walking around Seaside was so fantastic! We ate at Pig 'n Pancakes as usual and I sat with the girls! Afterwards, I walked with Ethan all around Seaside and it was so fun :). Seaside Beach was SO gorgeous. I'm really bummed that I didn't take any photos of it, but I'll just steal photos from others like I usually do.

On the way back, I got to party with Sunshine (Alsin), Norm, Kendall, Anja, and the two Madisons.

Overall, Seaside was so great. Also, Black Hills has a new course at the Deschutes River Ranch! We did it ourselves! I'm so excited! I took Kendall and Ethan there to work on it with the rest of the team last week and then we went to the Sand Bar at Kennydale... where Madi and Ha-Yoon decided to crash us :).

Last of all, I got asked to homecoming by Ethan Gaden. :) He's also on homecoming court!

Why does school exist?

So... I kind of hate school. And it's only been three days. I also hate police officers that say I speed when I have witnesses that know I didn't speed... Aka my parents. I went to Long Beach with the family and it was super great. Who knew Washington was so beautiful?

Ha-Yoon and I did Up for our link crew theme :).

Spike night was saddening for me because I missed the run, but got to meet Sam! 10k world record holder!

 Back on topic...


School. Why are you back? I hate my classes. Some of them are fine like Calculus and AP Composition. And of course, choir. But... Eugh. PE is fine sometimes. We did the mile run and I got the fastest time for a girl during 2nd period PE. I'm so sore right now and we have a meet tomorrow. FML. During XC, we had an ice bath and it was definitely a challenge even getting the ice bath ready... We had to drag the tub to the girls' locker room with ice and got yelled at by the lady custodian. Woot, woot. Since we didn't have a spaghetti feed... Danielle, Madi, and I decided to go to Olive Garden. Juli and Maya showed up, but Ha-Yoon couldn't make it. :( But that's our first calculus study group meeting now! We're gonna have a monthly dinner! Yayyyy!

As of now, I'm hoping things will settle. I hate it because I don't have time to sing, play the piano, or practice guitar anymore. :( Like it sucks. Badly. Wish my luck at my meet tomorrow, guys! It sucks because I have to run it on my own since Madi and Kendall can't make it! :(

Picture from when Uncle Hai went skydiving...

Mall Back to School Fashion Show, XC, and school...

I'll start with the school and XC first. School. What the hell is my schedule. Four AP classes and men's strength training. This is my "fixed" schedule. Definitely dropping AP Bio and make life more enjoyable... see Lina is more chill and not taking all the hard classes! I want to take psychology and just take the ap test for it. So XC... St. Clair is trying to injure all of our bodies. So sore. 4 miles with strides is not a recovery day. This season has been cruel. Since when was I one of the slowest?! I need to get back into shape. PRONTO.  But my body says stop it :(.
I'm typing this up as I'm waiting for the second show, but I'll be posting this way later to include photos.
So fashion show! 6 inch heels should not ever be allowed.  Other than that I love my outfit though. Makeup... not what I would've like. I know how to do my own stage makeup and like it that way better... I'm in so much pain. XC made my legs sore and these heels make my feet hurt. WAHH. I'm such a loner :3.
