SO! NEW THINGS ARE OCCURRING!

Today is October 9, 2009...

As of now, I am taking Saturday High figure drawing at Art Center College in Pasadena (in the Los Angeles region). I'm really happy to be taking it there! It's nice to get out of the San Fernando Valley (i.e. the epitome of suburban sprawl) every Saturday, even if the LA public transport sucks so I have to get a ride, in a car, on a freeway, for an hour each way. I LOVE CHARCOAL! It's so much fun.

I am taking Digital Photography in school. It's not that creative of a class, but hey, I'm learning things about SLR cameras that I didn't teach myself. Yay! I really wish I had my own, though. Maybe for my birthday in December! (But I want a car...)

I have not had much time for creative writing. Hopefully I will soon though!

I am determined to do well this year. AP Chemistry, AP Statistics, AP US History, and Honors English are all surprisingly easy. It's only Math Analysis Honors that's giving me trouble, but I got a super-Asian tutor and my grade has gone up 18% (...from a D+ to a C+; but I'm okay with getting a B in the class).

The PSAT is on the 17th!! AAAGHH!!

In photography, I need a theme (I want to do cats, but it's difficult for me to get 12) for a calendar and a final project. Hmm...

I am Vice President of my school's Project Cooldown Club for environmental awareness. We might participate in 350.org (it's all over!) and more!
I am also treasurer for the Junior Statesmen of America chapter at my school, which is essentially a debate club. Busy busy busy.

Hopefully I will retain my good mood for a while! Tomorrow is Art Center and shopping with my 4th cousin :]


Subject: Environmental chemistry

Basically, the chemistry of our Earth. The weather, the atmosphere, the ocean, living things' biochemistry--it's all there. It's super important.
