Last Day on the Job.

I'd first like to say to the seniors that it has been a pleasure being a 2010 officer for three years. it is amazing to see us as a class grow - not in numbers, but rather in unity, strength, and matador pride.

And to Monta Vista, it has been my greatest honor to serve you as your ASB Vice President. We all spend roughly two million minutes in high school, and it seems impossible to fathom that my two million minutes are now done. So please, make each day count and cherish those around you because time passes by quicker than you think - and these four years don't come back.

So goodbye, Monta Vista, you were my home away from home and a safe haven where my dreams and goals were nurtured. There will always be a special place in my heart for this school because it showed me who I was, but more importantly, who I could become. I hope each and every one of you find a place that you can always come back to.

This is Catherine Shieh, your ASB Vice President, signing out.

OK I AM SO ANGRY. WHY?

1. i now realize what senioritis is. some people just become lazy, which actually gives senioritis a bad name. this is what i think senioritis really is:

its the k-12 system in an education shithole. this is what i mean.

maybe people didn't realize this, but 12th grade is VERY different. and i've felt this way since the 2nd week of school. maybe you ARE burnt out. but more importantly, your days are numbered and you can't help but feel detached from the school. you cant help but fell that there is not a lot you can do to stay active because... part of being active is long term. you are not on the long term track. you are on the LEAVING track. by the time it's 2nd semester, not ONLY do you feel more detached, but wat you're really waiting for are college acceptances. and rejections. i made sure it was my goal to keep learning, because that's wat school ultimately is about, right???

no. u WANT TO LEARN, but you still have to work your ass off because grades still matter. i dont mind learning, i mind that there are STILL GRADES. it is a pain to get up everyday for school and wonder exactly how my econ ap teacher grades. or doesn't grade? i love my classes. no joke.

i hate how my teachers are still evaluating what i do in class.

2. I CAN'T STAND THIS RIGHT NOW. OMG. omg. omg.

i don't know if you noticed (if anyone is actually reading this right now), but have you guys even noticed the facebook statuses, particularly the seniors right now? yes, college letters are coming in. what irks me the most is that they are blatantly stating WHAT SCHOOL they are getting accepted from. do you know who you might be hurting in the process? i know you're happy. any college letter, really, should be pretty freakin' proud. i'm happy for ALL of you guys who get into a school. thank goodness. but seriously, please refrain from bragging what school. in my honest opinion, its not the most classy. im not announcing to the world that i am a fatass hybrid of a husky-spartan-trojan-anteater-bananaslug-mustang. do you hear it on my facebook status? i didn't think so. yeh. i'm sorry. i really can't take it anymore.

i should DEFINITELY FOCUS ON MY HOMEWORK. but that has yet to kick in. that is all.

more stuff i basically forgot to record.

3 groups based on speed: 350 m repeats, average about 1:09 for me. 8 times.

day 3. well, i WAS in seattle.

yeh basically i forgot. shh.

i love the sea-tac airport because it is huge. thatswhatshesaid. fshiz!

i took my first official tour at the UW campus. oh by the way, did i say i got a TEESHIRT? YEH. I GOT A HUSKIES TSHIRT. MY MARGINAL UTILITY WENT BLAZING UP THE ROOF. whatttt an opportunity cost.

the campus is defffff huge. a lot of red brick, and the buildings are definitely taken care of. i also take newspapers whenever i'm in a university, and the UW Daily is amazing. lots of color, lots of stories, pretty thorough sports reviews. the sports are huge here in udub, and i LOVE LOVE LOVE it. i want a school with huge spirit - i'm spoiled with that at mv.

theres sun, and a couple clouds, but the weather ws just amazing. it was the best day to see the trees uncovered by the fog, and the mountains had a great view from the drumheller fountain. soumya was there with me :)
