Today I had many things going on such as the Senior Portrait, the end of Summer School and lastly the trip to Huntington Beach.

As an upcoming senior, I start realizing that the years have past by quickly. All the things I wanted to do in high school have yet to come true and that I have only one year to get it done (if possible). Also, my gosh, the college applications, scholarships, and fafsa are now major things I need to worry about. I could feel the pressure and such from just being an upcoming senior. The worries are rushing in.

Anyway no need to continue my talk about being a senior. I'll get back to my original topic which is my adventures of today. Starting off, today is the last day of summer school. I received an A for both economic and government. Overall after taking these two classes, I decided I'll take Government AP next year.

Pictures are important as a senior thus the senior portrait. It is basically a picture of the senior looking formal and also one in gown and cap. The picture overall for me was good except I could barely see the cap. Since students are required to hold the cap, all that can be seen is the golden cord. What a joke. In addition, this picture itself cost $25. Not including packages of any sort. Just the sitting fee. Well for my picture, all I wore was a collar white long sleeve shirt. Simple.

After taking the glorious or rather expensive picture, my friend and I went with the Prep Club to Huntington Beach. The beach was really cold since well we're near the ocean. My friend and I play in the water, well no... rather I was avoiding getting pounded by the sea currents. Avoiding was my goal when currents hit the shores hard. I didn't have any change of clothes and getting my jeans wet is a no-no. Eventually my jeans got hit hard by the salty water.

After when Prep Club is settled on Huntington Beach, the bonfire was set. We made hotdogs and also smores. Hotdog was delicious. Smores was a-okay. It wasn't that good since my friend went double the ingredient. She put 2 marshmallows and 2 bars of chocolate. Too sweet for my mouth. Anyways, the night came and stars can be seen. In addition, it was possible to see the city that was far from the beach. I can say it was beautiful in all aspect. I love the view but not the cold though. I was freezing to death, but I enjoyed the trip though.

Problema:

Problems appear after the trip because of my stupidity or my mom's stupidity. Why? Well I told my mom I'll be back from the trip at 10 and that I'll call her to pick me up when I do reach the school. Anyways she misinterpret it. She thought that I'll be back at 10 and went ahead to tell my dad to wait at school. (I hate it when she doesn't listen to EVERYTHING I say. She only listens to the first part and bam... everything coming after is BLAH to her.)

How is this bad? Well I hitch a ride with my friend and didn't notify her that I didn't need the ride. I didn't call her because I did not expect anyone to be waiting for me and also since my friend offer I decide why not. So when I went home, I learned that my dad went to pick ME up because my mom said I'll be there at 10. Well i wasn't there until 10:30p.m.

My mom saw me and she decided to call my dad but he didn't have his cell. She then drove to the school to look for him, which was futile. A while later my dad came home and he said he didn't encounter my idiotic mom. Later my mom came back. All I can say is that both of them waste gas for something unreasonable.

Why? I never call for them to pick me up. I told her that I would notify her if I needed her to pick me up, but I never notify her at all. She just sent my dad to pick me up without me knowing. (No cellphone for me). Now my mom and I are in a fight. For what reason? I'm mad that she wasted gas and didn't listen to EVERYTHING I tell her. She listens to part of everything. For my mom, she's mad that I couldn't speak properly. (Please what is that to be mad about. Come on, she knows I don't have proper Cantonese but still if she had questions should have ask. Don't just go yea yea yea without knowing what you agree to.) Right now her story is that I was lacking in info (probably so). She stated that the only thing I said was to pick me up at 10. (Ridiculous. That's only part of what I said overall.)

So right now, my mom and I are in a huge dispute and I refuse to back down. Even though, I'm the one in tears. I'm such a weakling to angry people and mean words (My mom is a meanie.) I'm starting to hate her. She gives me a reason to study in another state or really far away.
