Okay, I know I haven't blogged or updated in a very long time. Well about half a year basically. But I guess I'll do a wrap up of my junior year.
Out of the high school years that I've completed, this year has been by far the busiest, challenging, funnest, and the craziest year. I've learned so many things; not only academic wise, but as a person and the lessons in life. I feel that this year was when I found myself maturing and growing wiser. I've learned to accept reality and to cherish the time I spend with people, because I realize that my high school years will fly past me in seconds. And who impacted my life either in a positive or negative way. I also learned that the priorities I set for myself were very important. And those were family, friends, school & work. I managed to keep up my grades and work at the same time. I didn't think I could of done it, but I did. I took many hard and challenging classes this year. I took one AP class, 5 honors, and Sociology. I have to say that Sociology was a very interesting course. I also took that for college credit. I actually liked that class very much, and since Mrs. Bugni was the teacher for this year, she made it even better. Her teaching techniques were amazing. There's just something about her that everyone loves. I have to admit that the class was not easy or too hard. You just have to put effort in that class, or that class is just not for you. Sociology made me realize and have a broader understanding and perspective of our society and the people. Also, it made me realize that Sociology is not only the study for human behavior and society, but it is much more than that. American Literature was one of my challenging classes I've ever taken. I thought I'd suffer so much crap in Whitt's class, but it was worth it wasn't it? The first day I walked into that class, and when she read that letter, I had no idea what the eff she was saying to the class. But throughout the whole year, I think with her teaching methods and the activities we do in and outside of class made me learned so much. I think my writing and vocabulary improved a lot too because of her class. I remember writing so much essays, so much projects in her class too. I thought I'll get a C or something, but all four quarters and both semesters; I got A's. I'm gonna miss them two. I heard my avid teacher that have been with us for three years is leaving all of sudden. But I'm not surprised, you know why? Because he is just so sick of the district and he's been putting up with the school system for too long... But I guess if he really isn't here, we're all prepared right? He's taught us everything we need in order to go to college. I wish him the best in the future. I hope he really does accomplish his goals and ambitions. A young teacher like him still has a very long and bright future ahead of him... As of my grades for this year, I feel very content and satisfied, because those grades were earned through my hardworking effort, and being persistent!
I think enough about school yeah? Haha.. Well one thing that I'll remember about junior year is the drama I had to tolerate with. You know, this year was the year when I realized who were and were not my true friends. Yes, too many people were hurt, all the gossiping crap, who liked who, who was fake, and all that crap. It was a true HIGHSCHOOL DRAMA. But for me, primarily I went through drama that had to dealt with friendship. I basically lost two friends. I thought they were very great people. Keyword: WERE. I also learned that I don't think I can ever gain trust from people that easily anymore. I seriously don't think I can... Those two friends I lost were people I shared memories with you know? But hey, if they were really my true friends, would they have done what they done in the first place? SIMPLY, no. When I think of this, it just really saddens me. I remember confronting her and talking and sorting out everything, but I couldn't organize my thoughts. I told her I had to think over some things, but I think there was nothing to think over again. I don't need to be reassured by what her and her boyfriend did... One day they'll realize who their true friends were and they'll come back crying to us. But I'm not going to waste my time and energy trying to mend things together, and put everything in it's place. When I went through all of that crap, my only remedy was talking to a few close friends that I trust. After all this drama, I realize that I don't have that much friends, and I don't need too many also. I only need the ones who will look me in the eyes and be honest with me, the ones who don't care about my appearances, and where I come from. In this world, there's going to be a lot of friends and people who will step in and out of your life, but there are a very few and limited amount of people that will actually stay in your life for a long period of time. That's how it is right? Society just keeps on moving, that's merely how life is. People change for better or for worst.
So moving on... in March we had the Sadies Hawkin dance. It was actually my first time attending that dance. I asked M to sadies. A co-worker. My first impression of him was: shy, an introvert or keep things to himself, and a very smart/intelligent guy. We didn't talk as much, but I decided that I should get to know this guy, you know? As a friend. So I thought of ideas of how to ask him to Sadies. It took me at least one month in advance. I never thought I'll ask this guy, but I did. Thinking back to this, makes me laugh. Haha, well unfortunately, I guess he found out that I was going to ask him. I'd never thought he'll find out, but he found out through my manager. I mean don't get me wrong, but my manager is a very considerate and kind woman. She didn't mean to tell him. So it turns out that we both requested the day off for March 1st; which was such a coincidence. But he requested that day off for SATs, while I requested it off for Sadies. So she thought I already asked him weeks ago. Turns out he had no idea that I was going to ask him. But he agreed to my manager that he'll go with me to Sadies. I guess on the day that I was going to ask him, he was a bit strange. He put on cologne, had a new haircut, and even smile and hugged me. After thinking about ideas on how to ask him to Sadies, I finally came up with a cute idea. So on that day, I snuck a note into a cookie bag and then I gave it to him. He laughed and said "Yes, I'll go with you." I mean I was happy, because it was my first time after all. Anyways, so after that we started to talk, well mostly texting each other. After Sadies, we talked a little bit. But I couldn't believe that it will actually happen. Liking him... I didn't want to fall for him, because I know that I just couldn't. I knew he didn't like me too, but of course I can't force that right? But things started to happen, he stop texting me... I didn't know whether I should believe him when he told me that sometimes his phone turns off, or he's very busy... But so busy that he couldn't text me back? I know I felt kind of selfish and inconsiderate, but yeah... After a while, I finally learn to overcome the fact that he'll never like me, or that's what I think. Now, we talk every now and then. We still work together. But I haven't seen him because he's been very sick lately. A friend told me "You'll never find the right one if you hold onto the wrong one..." She's absolutely right, I'll never find the right one if I keep holding onto him... So now I am over him, and I do feel happy even if it was for a short while. We had our memories together, and I don't regret for ever liking him...
I guess there's a lot for me to say, but I just can't write all my thoughts out at the moment, because there's so much engraved in my mind... Well, overall this year has been a crazy, and yet a very challenging year for me. Like I mentioned, I learned so many things from family, friends, school, and life. I've changed as a person because I matured a lot and grew wiser... But I accept the present me now. All the things that went on this year impacted me both in positive and negative ways. I was involved in Key club, but I felt that this year I wasn't as active as my sophomore year. But that was only because my time was mostly dedicated to work and school. I didn't have time for that much community service. I was the Korean Club historian. Well, I think I was. I have to say that the club didn't go on too well. The president was always absent, or never responsible for her duties or actions. People started to leave the club. We never planned out any events or activities. I was a bit upset, but that was not my responsibility because it wasn't my decision in the first place on running a club. And the sad thing was that the president is my friend... Well, we're kinda drifting apart... Anyways I was Co-Captain of Relay for Life this year. And it was a bit disappointing during the event because of certain people not wanting to help out even though they signed up to be on my team. I don't think I want to take that position next year. I had to undergo some pressure, but it's for a good cause right? Being able to support people fighting cancer is a good cause. Well, I'm glad to know that I got accepted to National Honor Society for the 08'-09' school year. I do regret for not joining my incoming sophomore year. That was because I had no idea what it was. But it's okay now... A few days after school ended, I took my SATs. To be honest, it was alright, I found out my results just a few days ago, and I'm not that quite satisfy. My scores are low, but I'm not saying how low. I just hope I can drastically improve the next time I take it... Right now, I feel that I don't want to be a senior, but at the same time, I just want to get out of here, and go to college, and be successful in life. But it's not that easy as it seems to get to that path. But I know what and who to expect in my senior year...
About two weeks ago, I finally got to visit my family and friends in Los Angeles, California. That joyous feeling of seeing them again made me happy! I haven't seen them for about two years now. But my time was limited. My family and I stayed there for only 5 days and 4 nights. I got to see my closest friends that I still keep in touch with. Some people are shocked that we still keep in touch. But those are my true friends. Can you believe it? I visited EMHS, it doesn't look the same. That night I went there with Sheri for graduation. I saw familiar faces. Some waved, some did not. When I saw the students walking to get their diploma on that football field, I started to think about how my years are flying by so fast. And sooner or later, I will be just like them walking towards our principal and getting our diplomas. I was happy for my friends. Hearing that they're graduating, means that they'll have a bright future ahead of them. Anyways, after those days I had to leave with my family back to Vegas. Ahhh.. I was a bit upset, but it was worth seeing them, even if it was just for a short amount of time. I hope I can visit again in August.
Ever since I came back, I think I only went out a few times... My summer is alright, but it can be better. I want to spend my summer wisely by going out, and not staying home. I'm FINALLY getting my license in about two and a half weeks. I was supposed to get it last month, but it was rescheduled for this month due to not having our registration forms and all that. After I get my license, I feel that my parents don't have to take on that much responsibility, like taking us sisters to school and driving us around to places. I can finally go out, but I won't take advantage of it. The gas prices are going up, who can afford going out every single day? July 4th is this friday. I can't spend it with my family, but I'm spending it with my sisters, Sean, and his family. I'm happy though that Aunt Cholie invited us. Since we're close friends, it will be fun. :) Well, I've been writing too much. I think it's about time I stop for now. But I think I'll come back later, and try to update more. I know, I keep telling myself that. -__-" Okay, bye for now! I'll be back.
Love,
Nancy Luong
