Day off? More like 4 hours off.
So supposedly today was a no school day, a day where I can do all my procrastinated homework because being full IB student doesn't work unless you can procrastinate. (Please do not quote me on that).
What I got to do instead was wake up at 7:00 and rush out the door to go send the Japanese students that came hosting away (we helped with luggage and waved them goodbye), after 20 minutes, I get to drive home and rest (or in my case, do all my procrastinated homework).
I'm going to be leaving actually in 5 minutes to go to PSU to get the homework left in my brother's Chinese School class -_-. Thank's for taking some of my precious homework time, bruh.
When I return, I have to go to a Sparrow meeting at 1, and then a German meeting at 2. I should be done and drive home by 3 only to go to marching band practice at 5. I'm waiting for Mike to stab me with the mallets I'm using because I haven't have time to go and practice on a real set of vibes. Listening to the music while pretending to play the vibe is about as much as I've done to practice.
Did I mention this week is homecoming week? That means float planning and marching... Maybe teaching Jaymi some Chinese yoyo because our theme is "under the big top (circus)".
Busy busy.
I MISS YOU SABRINA!

Daily Life 9-24-15
Whoa! I haven't blogged in a long while. It is has been a while where I'm not drowning in stress.
That's a lie, I haven't been unstressed since school starts. Why you ask? Full IB... and well, starting last week, we started preparing for a Japanese high school's visitation at our high school in good old America. It shouldn't be that hard, except I decided to be a emcee... No problem right? Apparently, there is a bunch of problems. For one, other people giving the speech decided to start writing their speeches today, which is fine because we're not memorizing the speeches anyways. The problem is that our Japanese teacher has to correct their speeches so I can't practice with her. Also, since there are people in water polo in choir (one of the groups performing for the Japanese students) we have to switch our schedule around. Being a perfectionist, I get super angry when things don't go accordingly, and switching stuff last minutes irked me. Besides speaking Japanese (and English) for the emcee stuff, I also have to speak German because German club is officially a club this year (yay!). Problem is, I still haven't gone through the speech successfully with Frau, and the thing is tomorrow! THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THOUGH is that the Japanese students are showing up at 1:45, their normal time. The problem is that everything moved back 15 minutes (because our school moved back 15 minutes everyday) and second lunch ends at 1:30. We have 15 minutes to set EVERYTHING up before the students come. UGH! It also doesn't help that I started getting sick today and I'm losing my voice. If I lost my voice tomorrow... Both Noriko sensei and I are super stressed out right now.
Right after the Japanese student welcome ceremony, I have to go to a Chinese Yoyo performance. Since I'm the co-head coach of this year's kids, along with the manager, I have to organize the whole performance along with who's going to be there, what we're going to say, how long the performance is, etc. Remember how I said I can't stand people who do "oh by the way" things? Well, 6 students just dropped out on me for Friday's performance (yay 6 people total) and coming back on Saturday's performance. Seriously? That means I have to reorganize the performance just for them. Whatever, at least I get to go shopping with the cool Japanese students after Saturday's performance.
Another thing is that we had a club fair on Wednesday. I'm the co-president of Sparrow along with my friend, Jaymi. We had 5 people in Sparrow that stayed from last year. So I was thinking, 'I'd be super happy if we get 20 people. That is would make us a big club and we can get things done with this amount of people.' Well, let's just say we met our goal... A little too well. 110 people signed up for Sparrow and I'm currently entering all their info onto Google contacts, which sucks a lot. I got to person number 64 before I decided to take a very long break. Running a club that big can go two different ways: really well, or really badly. I'm defiantly hoping it could go really well, but it would take a lot of effort to do that. I'm up the challenge though, defiantly.
Things should calm down a little next week, but considering that homecoming is next week, probably not. I have three clubs that wants to meet me on Monday, a no school day. Did I mention I'm doing marching band now? Yep. I'm playing the vibes and rack now, which shouldn't be a problem to learn except I haven't had time to practice at all. I'm starting practice next week which means... TWO WHOLE PRACTICE BEFORE THE HOMECOMING PERFORMANCE YAY. That was sarcasm. There's going to be so many people there, and I gotta perform in front of them with two rehearsals. Also, I gotta design a float for Sparrow and JNHS.
I've slept less than 5 hours per day.
Well now that you know why I haven't been group chatting a bunch or have been posting on this blog, you know why.
