RIP Ms. Hansen, Burton is definately missing you.

RIP Ms. Hansen. It is still so unbelievable that I'm going to walk into Burton on Monday and not see you there always being so cheery and happy. Always yelling Koshiyama. I'm going to defiantely miss you. But it definately is a trip because it was not long ago since you passed, that I was talking to you about teaching at Burton next year because there's no where else you rather teach and that I was going to be your student. You were always so happy and cheery and always saying good morning to me. I loved how you loved life. It's still so unbelieveable that you're gone but you are defiantely not forgotten Ms. Hansen. Your students love you, from every class to current and past. Your informal memorial was extremely succesful, with more than 250 people there from every class, people are definately missing you. The memorial was just not the beginning of realizing that you are no longer with us. I led the moment of silence for you Ms. Hansen because you definately deserved a bigger moment of recognition. But one thing that a boy from one of your previous years has said after the moment of silence was "why we having a moment of silence when everyone know Ms. Hansen was one of the loudest." It made me smile because you were definately always so loud and so happy. Definately couldn't be sad when by you. Ms. Hansen, you're definately missed by EVERYONE at Burton and from Burton. RIP MS. HANSEN on 12.19.2008, gone but NEVER forgotten. WE LOVE and MISS YOU MS. HANSEN !

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! 2009 !

It's a new year and it means a new beginning. My new years started off great, no details needed. :) But this year I made some resolutions with every aspect of my life with family, school, friends, and of course MYSELF only. I hope and want to accomplish them because Junior year is supposed to be the important year of school and I can't let this make me down. I need to get it together for the new year, because new year, new start, but definately not a new me. I'm going to always be me, just more improved. I want to start paying attention in school a whole lot more and focusing on it more than I have been. Family, I want to spend much more time with them because they are my number 1 priority no matter what. Friends, I want to keep them going because so far they're going good just a few tweaks. And for myself, I want to improve my game in sports because only I control how I play and I needa learn how to separate my life from my game. It's a NEW year, NEW beginning, FRESH ME. :) Can't wait to start this year off RIGHT. BTW, HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYBODY !

School=STRESSED OUT !

With finals coming up and projects being due, this is the time of the school year that I absolutely dread. And junior year is seriously going ridiculously with 3 honors classes and classes expecting so much. I feel so stressed out and my time management skills are so not coming in effect right now because the 3rd quarter and all of my grades feel like they are dropping because I'm putting my personal life way high right now but I'm trying to change the procrastination because it's a new year and I need to start getting things under control and understand what parts of my life I need to control before the other ones. I'm so stressed from school especially from finals coming up because I do not know what to do because I'm so stressed that it overwhelming me and my brain to a point where it's just brain dead. I know I'm going to do better because I made a promise to myself. I definately don't wanna let myself down as well as my parents. This year will be different, I'm doing it for me. School is still the biggest STRESS FACTOR ever. =/

Winter length, too short?

Winter break, sometimes I think that the length that they give us is too short especially with all of the work that teachers give us. And I understand its 2 weeks and we should be able to manage our time because we are getting older and getting into the real world but they got to understand that we are still young and we want to have life and not have to be buried in school work through our whole break. You know how teachers always say you should manage your time blahblahblah, but they don't know our home life, our other classes, our personal life going on. Sometimes they do which is why they give us a longer deadline, I think that this is better because you get to finish the teachers work with the shorter deadline first. But sometimes I feel that the 2 weeks we get on break is not as much as we need to finish everything, getting a project from pretty much every class especially being so close to finals, needing to study. But then again, I do get where the teachers are coming from with time management because you do need to set your priorities better, just I wish the break was a little bit longer.

Christmas.

Christmas is the whole reason I look forward to winter break. This christmas was a whole lot different because it was exciting and I was with all of my family. I love the feeling of Christmas and the smell of Christmas. I love how it was raining throughout the break, because I love the feeling of rain. My dad is a big fanatic of Christmas because he loves putting smiles on our faces. He loves the feeling of Christmas because how everything is. I guess I'm just like my dad in that concept. Christmas was extremely great this year, and although I knew like all of my presents because my dad made me pick out everything since he wasn't sure what I wanted, I didn't care. I loved wrapping all of my brothers and sisters gift and still labeling them santa because that's how our family is. I love the feeling of Christmas. :)

Black Friday..

Black Friday was quite ridiculous with all of the people that went shopping especially at the times they woke up. Some of my friends told me they pulled all nighters at there homes because there was no point in sleeping then having to wake right back up. The lines at some of these places were really crazy in length. At all the department stores, it was like there was nothing left by the time it hit noon, but at other stores that didn't have such a big discount the lines or store were not as packed. I was relieved because those are the places I wanted to be at. The first store I did go to with my dad, waking up at 5am, was Kohls and that line was ridiculously long. When you thought that you were at the end of the line to line up there was another extension. It seriously took almost 2 hours just to get to the cash registers. It was so shocking at how long it took, and I was not going to get out because it was going to be like this everywhere and this was the point of Black Friday. To stay in line for these deals. While going to Serramonte, it was extremely packed and my dad started talking about recession and that we can't possibly be in a recession with all of these cars that are out here and how much packages people are carrying. And it made me think about the recession and I don't think much of it anymore because people were seriously carrying so many packages. Black Friday was packed and ridiculous but not the worst I've seen.
