| so after being told i was waitlisted at pingry, i rejoiced since i wouldn't be leaving my friends. so i got all ready for sophomore year at good ol whrhs. but, in august i got called that i would be switching schools, and for that i was sad because i didn't realize the last day of school in june was the last day of school id ever have with my friends. kind of poopyface. in november or something like that, mom woke me up on the day of the pingry open house to drag me there and tell me that i was applying. i wrote a crap application at 4 in the morning the day it was due. she signed all the papers without telling me, accepted my entrance into the school for me, all that crud, and it was really not cool. naturally, i was mad because i didn't cherish being able to see my closest friends every day, mom was sending me to this school i've never even seen before because all of the trees cover it up and where people were supposedly obnoxious, and i was anxious because i've never been new at school before. august went by and then school started.
first day of school.. i felt weird. everyone had their little niche, their groups of friends, and i stood there in my polo and corduroys (a combo i would have never worn before haha) with nothing to do or say for 45 minutes. you all know i'm shy, so i didn't try to find a friend immediately. i didn't talk much for a couple of months because i distanced myself for some reason, not wanting to talk to anyone because i was just mad at the whole situation. even though whrhs is in the same town, it was like a "so close but yet so far" thing. i blamed pingry for being weird, but i was probably the weird one looking back now haha.
ive had my up and downs. there were definitely some days where i sat in the library during frees, upset because i was too shy to open up to people. there are people that i instantly open up to, which i did find at pingry, and there are some that i just dont, which i found a lot of. but despite my being shy and introverted, i did find some really good people along the way. like tanvi, man what an awesome girl. she's gonna be going to visit her motherland soon (muhaha india), and ill miss her while she's gone. but seriously, she's probably going to be one of the nicest, most hardworking, understanding person you'll meet, no joke. sure shes a dinky freshmen but that makes her 10x better cause you get to make fun of her!! :) but yeah thanks to people like her, adjusting into pingry was so much easier than it could have been.
now that the year's over, i look back at the grudge i had against my mom for doing something like that to me, having a grudge against pingry and all. i'm over my mom, i used to suggest letting me go back to whrhs and she would say, "oh.. well.. you're just crushing the dreams of your dad and me. that's all. if you really want to.. i guess.. " i don't anymore though. i've realized that even though i didn't want it to happen, sometimes life takes weird turns like that and you just gotta stick with it. pingry's not actually as obnoxious as a lot of us think, there's a lot of nice, really chill people there. like every school, there's the group of obnoxious kids. sure, a lot are wealthy, but there's really only a few who are both wealthy and obnoxious. i've learned to appreciate pingry, the long breaks, the free periods, the harder classes (sometimes haha). it's not everyday that you get to say that "i have 3 free periods in a row and i dont know what to do." of course, i do really miss my friends at whrhs and visit sometimes, but i have to open myself up and make new ones, which i have, much to my friend james's surprise haha. im sorry that it took me a whole school year to figure that out, and i may have come across as a poopface. im sorry for getting scarily mad that one day at lunch.i promise it'll be the only time that'll happen haha. im sorry for whining about wanting to go back. im sorry james for being your butt tumor, you're just pretty much one of the most amusing/buttheaded little (emphasize little) person i've met and er one of our first conversations about poop made me connect to your weirdness that much more haha. even though you always criticize my freakin face i'll still occasionally (like um, once or twice a year) buy you breakfast. but to everyone, thank you for taking care of me this year and making me feel like i belong there.
i dont know why i wrote such a long thing, but i guess i had a lot to say.
blase, happy 15 months! i absolutely love being your girlfriend and being the lucky girl who gets to smooch you ;) thank you for helping me with pingry, i know i called you a lot about it and you told me exactly what to expect and it's exactly what happened. without your help i probably would have had a much harder time finding my way around. thank you soo much for everything this year, even though when i lost my math test last year i cried and ran away from you HAHA. i hope you're enjoying your afterprom! i love you :).
my buddies at whrhs!! MISS YOU GUYS SOOOOO MUCH!! i'm definitely coming sometime before the end of your school year, when everything's winding down and all. you guys are amazing, i miss you all, i hope everything is going well for you guys. i've always got your backs and i know we're gonna be buddies for a long loooong time :) thanks for thinking about me and for calling me when you missed me (haha rae :P) and taking me to the mall and just being great friends. see you guys soon :)

regionals today! O.O
i saw blase, shieh, eric, krayon, rachel (and her pink pants!!), liaw, joan, steph chen, amy z, yay! i didn't get to hear everyone play because i came a lot later than everyone, but shieh beasted both of her solos and eric beasted scales. if they say otherwise ("*whine* oh i did teeerrribblee!!") don't listen to them. i will eat their modesty and them.
i don't know why but i tensed up a lot before my scales audition, which was my first one. but blase stayed with me and evilly listened to me. i <3 him (9 months yesterday :P). haha i had been cranky the whole day, im sorry blase!
so ...
scales: they were okay, i thought i'd miss half of the notes in the arpeggio like i usually do but i missed only a few kinda. miss devlin was the moderator person!! yay i haven't seen her in forever but i forgot to formally say hi to her haha oops ><
sight reading: ah!! it was allegro but i played it like largo haha. i missed the high g, screwed up on the 32nd notes, missed a couple high notes, yikes.
solo a,b: haha i messed up in both of them .. in solo a, my bow wasn't tight enough so my spiccatos came out like flubber. i think i got too nervous and my rhythm for this one part got a little off. solo b, i can't remember what the mistake was, but there was a mistake there too haha.
shieh and i were like dancing in the hallway and being gingerbread men, haha we got a lot of puzzled stares.
when do the results come out?? good luck to everyone!
k off to njys rehearsal .. fun
