*BEEEEP!!!BEEPBEEEEEP!!!*
Yeeeeah. Looking back (shortly after giving the bus the Evil Eye and witnessing a quick heart hyperactivity-moment-slash-brief-life-before-my-eyes-incident), I guess[ed] that the bus had to slow down, you know, to make the turn...
The driver yelled out the window--whether or not she opened it before or after the incident I do not know-- something about "DON'T YOU WALK OFF THE CURB--[wahwahwahwahblahblah]--(something) LIGHT!!!!"
That lady was pissed. Sorry. Honest, I didn't mean to potentially cause an accident. But seriously, I'm sane and usually logical. Yelling at me about how stupid I am doesn't help the past, now does it, Lady? I know how much of an idiot I was, so I'll let it slip away from me now.
Normally I'd tell mis padres about this, like, to their faces, but I know exactly what'll go down: I'll get the eye roll, followed by the "What the frick were you thinking?" stare of angry disbelief, and then The Sigh, and then the lecture of what was already going through my head...why'd you do that? why weren't you paying attention to your surroundings? that was STUPID [of you]. COME ON, [my name] USE YOUR HEAD!!! Etc. That's about the gist of it. I already know how badly I messed up, and I know what they'd say to me once I told them, and I already scolded myself right after the event, so why bother telling them just to have them give me the exact same speech I figured they'd give and the same speech I gave myself in my head???
Meh. That was my idiocy act.
What else is in store:
Glowsticks tryouts-§§§

Today I had Glowsticks tryouts!! I was practicing yesterday, at like, 11:30pm-12 am, which is not good and a broken promise to myself: I said not to practice with glowsticks when I'm tired, a rule I came up with after I hit myself in the eye with a stick. I was also practicing every spare chance I got in school: in division, during passing periods (I almost smacked some people), and in class, if I could. I alternated between doing well till the weave-to-butterfly part of the combo to messing up in the beginning even though I had that part down for the most part to doing it perfectly. I told my classmate in Spanish: "I wonder which way I'll perform when I tryout."
I was teaching (or trying to) my pal how to do armwraps and the transitions, something I had just learned less than 24 hours prior. Then the co-head who taught me yesterday (Charles, so nice~ ^^) came over right in the middle of our little session and sat down in a chair with a notebook and pen, looking at us/me, expectantly. I asked him why was he watching me from a chair, and he replied by saying Fine, I'll watch standing from here, and proceeded to get onto the higher part of the stage I was practicing on. Understanding (using my amazing deductive reasoning skills) that this was a test, either for him to evaluate me--
that's right, he said something about evaluating me when he was in the chair...
--[for him to evaluate me] since he taught me, or my actual tryout. (It was the latter) So, I performed the routine: butterfly to armwraps to a three-beat weave back to armwraps to the butterfly. I was doing well in my opinion, except that I was carrying on for a bit too long on the 'wraps and weave, until I went from the armwraps to the butterfly. Like I practiced last night, I swung my hands and the sticks on strings together, and...CLAK!! They spun correctly-ish for a moment, then collided.
And when Bro tried out...he did well...but then Charles said that he had "some comments." Basically, Bro's weave-to-armwraps transition was messed up/bad. He stalled [the words of this really good glowsticker, erm, can't spell her name] when he crossed over. But other than that he was good!! We might be in it together...

A few days ago, I was thinking about overweight and obese people, and I remembered how the majority of America is overweight, and a lot of people are obese. Now, this is not good, especially considering the fact that the number of obese Americans is increasing. According to this site I just found on Google, 33.8% of adult humans in America are obese, and 17% of adolescents (age 2-19) are obese as well. Dude. 33.8% of America's adults. That's a third of the adult population. And the kids...obese kids are not good news. So, I was thinking:
America's only, what, 200 years old? 250 tops. That's pretty young. We often liken America to a child, and this child is young and obese. You know what usually happens to obese children? Unfortunately, they develop diseases like diabetes and contract other health issues like cardiovascular disease, and they can die early (like, as young to middle-aged adults). Looking at our beloved country, do we really want to continue this way of life, just because we are lazy? We'll end up as fat country (cough cough, thatsindebt, cough*) that dies young because of our heart (gov) issues.Also, apparently this generation is the first to have a declining lifespan--PEOPLE, I WANT TO LIVE!! STOP GIVING ME THIS CRAP!! Laziness and corn-based or processed foods and such. Honestly, our humanity will be the end of us...Oop. Sorry (not really; I wanted to get that out there).

I'm excited. I just need to figure out what I'm gonna do for my tinikling and Kpop tryouts; they're on the exact same days; learn Monday and Tuesday, then tryouts on Wednesday. Man...I can apparently ask one of the heads to change dates for me, but I feel awkward doing that...I'll try!! I wanna do both; tinikling 'cuz it's a Filipino dance, Kpop so I can be with my friends/classmates, and glowsticks to learn GS tricks.
And as for my Lit project: I'll just draw an epic picture and write an explanation connecting the drawing to the book (LOL, first I have to FINISH the book).
Listening to: "Kaze no Tadoritsuku Basho" by Ayana (Kanon)
Currently plotting: my picture for Lit.
Trying to finish: my sketches.
