New Year Begins!

What's so great about new years?
Personally for me, and well as many other people, it's a new beginning. I'm going to reflect my past year 2010, and overcome what I can achieve for 2011.

For 2010, I did many life changing things:
* Moving from NC to WA was pretty main thing for me. By this, I have gained new perspectives such people, weather, and education. It also had an impact that throwing away your junk is quite tough, I regret a lot of things I did not bring.
* Had a vacation in Japan: Visiting my grandfather's grave was cool. I met my father's side of the family and realized that my cousins were twice older than me.
* Losing my suitcase during the travel. This was a catastrophe. My clothes were gone, the spare SD card for my camera... only arrived the day leaving Japan. This experience had changed me. I should be grateful for a few things, not wanting for more and more.
* Recording what I read and when finished. I did this so I can see how my books affects test scores on reading. For 2010, I read 47 books (4 Japanese, 43 English)
* Received about 30 Shonen Jump Comics (composed of many chapters from various mangas). This wasn't a good thing but made me realized that if you happen to give out your possessions, you somehow receive something in return (indirectly).

It's time that I made more positive changes for 2011:
* again record my books that I read, but will be more than 50!
* challenge myself to get a Varsity Letter in community service. Perhaps gold metal for 250 hours?
* Part-time job. I've been dreaming about going to interviews and making money for the past 2 months. It's time that I become independent and getting out of the house instead of earning allowances for massaging my parents. I do that for free :)
* Take Biology and Algebra II online. This I cannot be sure. It's something I want to do.

These are my reflections. I wonder what somebody else's look like...

Happy Year of the Rabbit everyone!

The SCHOOL

The Junior High.
I've been spending time here at the new school for what, two weeks now? Something like that.
Guess what?

I actually met some people who I might able to call 'friends'. But it's only a few so if they're absent, I just wonder around the building at lunch.

It's been quite tough for the first couple of days but now I have gotten use to the other human beings that I'm not familiar with.

The education here is incredibly easy compared to NC. This part just does NOT fit me; I feel like I do not belong to this kind of environment. What I had known for are AIG, GE, and what the LEAP? But here it is called the PAGE. Before I even get accepted, I need to take a test to see how well I can do. A little nervous (＠_＠;)

Now it is beginning to rain. A lot. DRIZZLING & SPRINKLING. So I get wet every now and then, when I walk home from school. I actually don't walk all the way, but like half-way between so my mom can pick me up where the cars aren't crowded.
