Calm down, turbo.

I HATE SCHOOL but I need to stop complaining because it's getting me nowhere. Damnit, I need to wake up at 6AM to register for my Spring quarter classes. But what the helllll, winter quarter isn't even half way done and we're already moving forward to the next. Shiiiiiit, spring and summer classes are deadly... but I gotta do what I gotta do to get where I want.

Last Friday was legit. After getting my license YAY Andrew picked me up and we went to Francis' house and met up with everyone: Francis obviously, Eliry, Rafael, Jason, Jillene, Tawny, and later, Ronnie. We headed to West Co Lanes and bowled. I hella bowled goood! (: I had a 3 strikes, a spare, a strike, a spare, and a spare, in that order LOL I still remember because I've never done that well in my life. Scored a 159! After 2 hours of bowling we had dinner at Applebee's and met up with Damian, Jacinto, and Antonio. It was fun catching up with everyone and listening to everyone tell stories.

Saturday was winterformal time. Ridge spent the morning with me chilling and waiting to get ready for winterformal - luckily I found the perfect tie to match Victoria's dress thanks to my cousin. Niko picked the cousin &me up and we headed to Xinping to pick up our dates. Went to expose, took pictures, yada yada, and took a van full of people to Upland, Imagine That. The place was kinda bougie, buuut the DJ was legit (: Spent the whole night dancing with Victoria and random people (mainly Martinez and Ace's friends haha) and having fun. Definitely worth going to, thanks Victoria. After the dance ended at midnight, we all headed to the after party at Xinping's. Chilled for a while until Gene &Brittany wanted to go home. I took Niko's van and dropped them off (: Geez I just love being licensed haha ehh I know I'll get sick of it later. Anyways, I went back to the party and picked up more people and took them home, and drove myself and Ridge home haha. Ridge was too high to even understand what he was saying so we ko'ed in my living room.

We woke up at 8AM ._____. since we had dance practice at 9. Drove to my Tita's house in Walnut and got to work. Blehhh I danced the whole night before, and dancing again hella killed me haha. Buuut we pretty much finished the dance. (: I went home after to KO and watch the Superbowl game while studying for my tests &midterm...

Which I did well on - both of them! My classes were short due to my test and midterm so I had a lot of chillage time, mainly trying to figure out my fucking schedule next quarter.

As for the weekend, assuming things work out the way I want it to, haha I'll be shopping with Valerie, taking Ace out for pizookies, Erica's 19th birthday dinner, and going to the movies with Kelly Nate &Gessica. Three more freaking days of schoooool this week, hurry up!

I know I'm not that much older than my high school friends (because I have plenttty) and I know that I'm not the same person as I was before.... but it surprises me how fast they've all turned to the dark side, per say haha. Not that waiting to be rebellious until after I turned 18 and graduated from high school is that much different, but in some ways it is. I can't imagine myself partying and doing all that stuff that my parents would disapprove of while I was still stressing from all that AP/IB bullshit. And it makes me sad seeing how much poorly they're doing now, in school I mean. But hey, I'm not their father... who am I to say what they should or shouldn't do? Then again, I am their friend. But who the hell listens to anyone nowadays anyway? Isn't it all about having fun and partying and getting buzzed and getting high?

I've paid my dues. I worked my asssssssssssss off in high school. Anyone who begs to differ that I don't deserve it can tell me. Buuuutt... whatever call me a hypocrite.

Different backgrounds, different lifestyles, different experiences, different lives. But it's so hard not to judge when they're people you care about, right?
It's not only about the process, it's the finish line, too.

Until next time.
