Ybarra was flooded, but it was normal for some reason. It's like.. the whole school was sitting within a pretty steep lake. I don't remember anything else about my dream.. maybe more will come back to me later, but I wanted to write at least this bit down before I forget.

Dream at Nicole's 2 days ago:

I got a text from someone from another school (I don't think this person exists in real life) saying that someone I know would be at the library next to a book called "Dog's Days" at "6^2 p.m." and the text was sent at "12^2 p.m." I didn't find that strange in the dream at all. ;__;" So I went to the library and ended up helping and putting a bunch of books away. D: As I was doing so, I looked up from putting some books away and saw the person I know next to "Dog's Days" :0

AND THEN IT POOFED TO SOME SORT OF HALLOWEEN PARTY -_______-
But the person I know was still in the same line of sight. o:
So then it poofed to a conversation? >_> And then I woke up because Nicole's dad came into the room saying that my dad had arrived o-o"


Yesterday's dream:

REINHART ACTUALLY CAME TO MY HOUSE AT MIDNIGHT AND HE JUST PLAYED LEAGUE ON MY COMPUTER UNTIL 7 IN THE MORNING. When I "woke up" in my dream, I was like "wut" because the Reinhart in my dream said he'd leave at like 3am. I was like, "meh, I'll go to sleep." o__o"

Then I poofed to a large cruise ship.. and then somehow we crashed onto a shore of some unknown island AND WE WERE LOST LIKE IN LOST. Except half of the people on the cruise ship were mythical creatures. There were three "princesses" of the mythical world that we had to protect. One of which looked like Mrs. Robles... she was the princess of the witch realm... >_>" We were walking along, trying to look for a place to camp when all of a sudden.. GIANT T-REX ..THAT COULD TALK! He told us that he was going to eat us, but then this black girl was like "NO! I know how we can stop him!" AND SHE TOOK OFF HER BACKPACK AND UNBINDED HER WINGS... SHE WAS A HALF-HUMAN-HALF-DRAGON LADY!!! So she went with the giant t-rex and they were happy..?

THEN I POOFED TO BEING WITH CHRISTINE, NICOLE, JEFFREY, REINHART, ISAIAH, JOSEPH, MINHO, STEVEN, AND TAMMY AND WE WERE ON SOME SORT OF OLD PLAYGROUND.. I'm not sure if we were still stranded on an island. Jeffrey started mixing lemonade for everyone.. then I woke up o_o


^ that is what eating trail mix before you sleep does to you

So I was just on youtube listening to different rendition of this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_Ab3kZjl8Q) when I came across Hilary Hahn's. After listening to her version, I saw the words "Paganini Caprice" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OKPUausH64) and was like, "hmm.. sounds so familiar." Then I listen to it.. "SOUNDS EVEN MORE FAMILIAR O_O..."

Even though I disliked piano at a point because of how stressful Esther's lessons were, I am very happy I stayed with the lessons for so long.. I never realized how much classical literature I was exposed to growing up until these past two years. Hopefully one day I'll be able to actually know songs for their names rather than just knowing how they sounds because of hearing them so often in my childhood. D:

first dreams blog post in a LONG time...

dreams from last week:

1. I went to a concert. An Asian guy called out my name a few times through a microphone onstage to call me over. Once I got over to where he was, he told me, "save me some food," (there was free food after the concert). The weird thing is... HE TURNED BLACK SOMETIME WHILE HE WAS ASKING ME TO SAVE HIM SOME FOOD. -____________-" My dreams, man... -____-"
2. Chenni pooped in a trash can in my kitchen. That is all.

Chapman Percussion Ensemble was amazing. ^_^ these chirping birds are insane.. almost midnight, what are they doing! ;__; Koyfman's birthday was today, everything in his class was just "cute" as much as I hate that word. Mr. Baumunk even came in and sang to Mr. Koyfman in a lively tempo, pulling us along from our draggy tempo. BC c/o 2013 was the first to sing "Happy Birthday" to Mr. Koyfman today though! ^_^ Okay, Koyfman tomorrow. SECOND TO LAST ONE EVER, LET'S DO THISSSS.

If society is going to rate us on an equal scale why can't we at least be graded on an equal grading scale by individual school systems, if that makes sense.. this is one of the fatal flaws of the academic system that will always infuriate me.. it leads to people's necessity to succumb to the lowly ranks of superficial achievements and lack of true passion and curiosity for studies. Society needs to get its shit together and fast, especially since these "ratings" that they give students impact those students' lives and even society itself more more in the modern day world. Succumbing to superficiality just to meet the cost of living.. where is the meaning of life in that?

On a brighter note,

"the name's bond
covalent bond"  (a post on Michelle Wang's blog)

It made me think..
"it's ionic how that's so hy-PHEN-ny"
and made me feel quite clever and "hy-PEHN-ny"

Real life:
- One of them dreams again lul, when will they stop..
- Ate at Aji Sushi with the family
- Productivity level: 0
- Two days
- 1:11am if that means anything at all
