I should have posted this in a very very very long time.. But I slack off as usual.. And didn't >D!!!

Uhh.. It's been about one week of California and three weeks of Summer School in Cushing(Boston) so far.. That makes four weeks.. I've been 'dead' for about four weeks ;D!! Three more weeks to go.. @_@;;;.. AND THEN STUPID SCHOOL STARTS AGAIN!! !!!!........................... ...Nice timing for a first trip to America.. ;_:

Well, if I have gotten a scanner so far... I'd have loads of pictures up by now... And if I had my mouse and/or tablet and/or photoshop there would be even more pictures up.. +_+!!!!!!.. wELL.. Read on if you want to hear a long rant about my classes... haha..

--

I have a few character sketches done, and I have made two new OCs out of homesickness + entertainment ;_;.......... Haha.. I now have a total of... ten OCs that almost no body knows about.. Well... Not to worry.. I made character sketches out of boredom (even though we are given a whole load of summer school homework).. The academics here tend to have an easier mathematics class in Taiwan, so I kinda slacked and didn't try my best on the quizzes even though I knew I could have done better... is also in my math class and always yells at me when I complain about my test scores =_=.. I don't think I did up to my standards; and that's the only reason I have for complaining.

..I have been placed in a class full of 10th-11th graders for english lessons (there weren't any asians either so I was a bit nervous).. and it's all SHAKESPEARE AND HAMLET AND OTHELLO AND SHIZZZZ since my teacher had a masters degree on Shakespeare or something (ALSO TONS OF GRAMMAR REVIEW) ... ;__;... AND WE HAVE TO WRITE FIVE PAGE ESSAYS WITHOUT DOUBLE SPACE AND WE ALWAYS NEEDA USE PEN WHICH I AM NOT USED TO USING1111!!!!! @_@!!

..And because of the 'low standards' some of the people in our class are using in writing, teh teacher yelled once saying "You've all been though high school and should have learnt all of this already. What on earth did your english teacher teach you last year?!" =___+ I'VE NEVER EVEN BEEN TO 9TH GRADE YET AND HE STARTS DISSING MY FUTURE TEACHER O_O;; AND DISSING THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T GO THROUGH ONE YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL -_-........... (he also kinda looks down at chinese people.. I'LL SHOW HIM HOW MUCH WE CAN DO)@!!!!...................
Weeeelll I guess I could cool down a bit.. (goes random) I got A+ on the essay writing hw yesterday >D....................... I'm kinda lucky though.. This high school teacher actually enjoys my writing ;_;!!.. Since.. my middle school humanities teacher last year always gave me C+'s on every thing I've ever done.. no matter how I tried..

Well.. This camp is going O-K... But it's kinda racist.. ;_; Kind of.. lol... there's like.. the japanese people isolate themselves to their own corner.. same goes for the chinese.. koreans... =_=.. There's a huge abundance of spanish people who also jabber in spanish with themselves a lot.. and the americans go with americans and so on... most people just hang around with their own race.. but then around the dormitories I think stuff goes on better there.. >_<.. 's gotten a better camp to be in.. and had lots of fun.. and cherishable memories.. and friends.. unlike my summer school torture.

I'll think of more to jabber about later.

My apologies for the lack of updates in a total of four weeks.

Dead in a couple of hours. +)

...I think I need to update more. Too much anime+manga merchandise shopping can make you forget DA @_@;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Well.. Shopping for merchandise and more manga to read is fun.. but it's not fun for my room since it's flooding from over 200+ mangas x_x;;;;;;;; (luckily some of them are scattered around outside my room so it doesn't look too obvious..)

Okay.. I've been watching a lot of Rozen Maiden these days to get insparation on clothes patterns and stuff... And I ended up getting addicted to it O_O!!!.. The dolls are so cute ;_; ;; ... Especially Sousei Seki.. According to me anyways >_>.......


I've been also drawing a lot, since I seriously need practice on antonomy and things, but I'll only post things that I think are worthy of posting. I also need ideas of what to draw and what poses I should try to attempt/draw @_@;... Sooo, please give me ideas ;_:

I promise I'll post atleast two times a week until I have to go to summer camp. -___--


-Tis ranting too much-

Process

We started our community service at the nearby dog shelter about a few months ago, and a few of us still continue to go there every week. Anyways, the main thing we were doing at the doggie pound was helping out a small part of the community's stray dogs so they have a chance of getting adopted by training them and help keeping their environment clean.

All seven of us - Michelle, Clark, Tiffany, Angela, Katherine and I were helping the dog shelter do its chores - cleaning out the daily load of animal excrete, walking the dogs, and almost always helping to get the wild dog-playground-shelter neat from all the playful dogs there.

Overall, I think the tasks we were sent to perform in helping the dogs were all rather easy, for the exception of having to work in an enviroment with a very heavy stench of dog excretement. We were also in time to see the shelter being moved to a bigger area, where the dogs can roam around in a huge place, although this also meant more work for us to manage.

Reflection/Aftermath

After our community service requirement was fullfilled, a few of us did not ever decide to go back anymore. Although there are a few people who only went to the pound for the homework grade, the rest of us are willing to go back and help out every week if we could - I think community service is a good thing to do, since it benifits one's own morale in regards of kindness and some of the TAS values that play a critical part of life.

By realizing that, I figured that communitiy service is a benificial act that helps people/anyone in need, and by doing this homework assignment, have a further grasp at knowing that community service is ALWAYS a positive act to perform - helping others in need is also helping yourself learn, and seeing happy faces (in our case, happy and loved puppies) are a good enough reason to keep our jobs as community helpers thoughout the year.

-(This is homework.. -_- )

Okay I think I need to update... Since I didn't do so in a lot of weeks o.o... There's a lot of homework and projects due.. Because it's almost the end of the semester.. Next year I'll be in 9th grade(secoundary .... 3?!) -__-... Wellll I gotta go do those projects now or I'll get a ZEROOOO ;_;............ Hopefully I'll post something up...
