chu_totoroI'm so happy~ ^^ today ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yokainomiko, my little sister #2, everyone's faaavorite Taiwan boy, and my one and only pansexual white freak (for ever and ever and ever ♥) came to school to see me! :) I know, we're a strange bunch aren't we.
So we went out to lunch at Cupertino Village and in the process merged with a whole other horde of people whom I don't know quite as well but good enough to get by, and we had Korean food to satiate my longing for Neoguri. :3
This resulted in me missing most all of 6th! The kids were still in the PAL center when I got back, so I decided forget the rest of 6th and joined AP Chinese instead, which... kind of made me want to cry and reflect upon our AP/honors system. but then, I don't think any of the other language classes are any better, so... let's leave it at that.
Checked in w/Zarco and helped him file some stuff I should've filed during 6th, resulting in my staying ~half an hour after school got out.
As I finally wrapped up everything and strolled out the gate to my car, I espied someone walking a dog.
homg how CUTE! was my first thought when I saw the dog. It was white and fluffy and looked a lot like Rice, must be another American Eskimo, I thought to myself as I looked up, and barely had the time to take in the fact that the leash looked oddly like our leash and the book the girl was reading looked oddly like my book and the girl looked oddly like my sister before I realized that it WAS my sister walking our dog right outside the school gates and I burst out "Amy!" before my brain processed any further.
Life is strange like that sometimes.
Anyway apparently my sister wanted a transcript (scholarship apps). So I accompanied her to the office, where alas! my phone rings!
I escape outside to where I can safely pick up without getting in trouble, and hear my lost love's voice on the line.
"Adela," says Sarah Tang, who once sat right next to me in Econ and now sits across the ENTIRE ROOM in Gov. "When are we studying for the test today?"
"Hmmm, I don't know," I say. "What time's it now?"
See, Sarah lives about a block down from me, but the problem was that I was sitting on a bench just outside the office, at school, i.e. I couldn't exactly go over even if I wanted to.
"Well, tutorial just about ended so it's around 3, I think?" she says.
"Hrm." I watch a girl in a distance making her way down the quad steps. "Your house or mine?"
"I don't know, I'm good either way," she says.
Wait, that girl looks an awful lot like Sarah, I think.
"Sarah, is that you?" I ask aloud.
"What? Where?"
The girl on the steps pauses and looks around.
Definitely her.
"Turn around!" I screech.
She swivels. I wave like a madwoman. She comes running over to my bench.
"You're still at school!" she says. "I thought you'd gone home."
"I thought you'd gone home."
Life is really strange sometimes.
We end up tossing a coin to determine whose house to study at (Sarah's). Then we part ways, as she has to go home and I have to wait for my sister. When I return many people inside the office are fawning over our dog, despite dogs (technically?) not being allowed on campus. harharhar he's just too cute. (or that rule's just too stupid, either way.)
So I give my sister & my dog a ride home. Whereupon I sign online, facebook my Malaysian friend about Skype, check my email, and find out that UChicago has waitlisted me.
Before I have time to digest this information, my Skype phone rings. I pick it up.
"Hi!" says my Malaysian friend, sitting in Malaysia in front of her computer. And then "OMG I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU FOR SUCH A LONG TIME AHHHHH AHHHHH AHHHHHHHH~" (while I respond in kind).
After we both calm down again...
"What time is it over there?" I ask.
"7:14 in the morning," she says.
"Don't you have school?"
"Yeah." She looks at thebottom top corner of her screen. "In approximately 12 minutes."
...you have to understand something here. I don't even USE Skype normally. I don't even know why I was signed on. I only signed on because I facebooked her about it ~two minutes ago and signed on to add her to my buddy list.
Life is really, really strange sometimes.
edit: homg I can't believe I just spent 5+ hours over at Sarah's place. I was never this studious back in sophomore/junior year!
(then again, I don't think I had the time to be this studious sophomore/junior year)
(then again, there was the time we spent eating peanuts. and drinking minestrone. and playing canon in D on the piano. and that last hour or two of VIRUS SLAYING and computer purgifying.)
but we were studying the whole time through nonetheless!
if I get anything less than perfect on the test tomorrow I will kill something.
