The blooming tree's at school are the worst smelling trees on the face of the earth. I can't understand why they would choose such things to plant all over school. Class ends, the bell rings, you step out of class, and then BAM, you're smacked right away with a nasty smell, like something rotted all over school.

At lunch today, we all went and ran around in the SPCA thrift store downtown. Since we didn't have that much time, we didn't go get food first, and just went to the store directly. There was a ton of random but funny stuff like hats, books, and weird accessories. We looked around for quite a while, and at the end a few of us bought a few things. Ditha got a weird green osh trucker hat, and I got a couple books, like a world record book for my brother for a quarter.

After the thrift store, everyone that needed to get back to school left in bens car, and the rest of us went to taco bell to get some food. I got some food and got back really late. The teacher didn't mark me absent though. When I went to statistics, during class I turned an old mechanical pencil into a staple shooter. I showed alp silently from across the room and amazed him. At the end of class, the teacher asked me why I had the classroom stapler under my desk near my feet. The following is a picture of my awesome weapon:

Tennis practice went by pretty smoothly. Instead of randomness that we usually do, we (joseph and I) asked if we could play a few sets for practice instead. We started fooling around during the set, and when we lost points, we would shout out random angry phrases, with cuss words replaced with the word "expletive". We shouted out such things as "What the expletive!" When we realized we had sunk into unseriousness, we tried to play harder and joked around less.

After tennis, we went to in-n-out. Joe and I are asian, and since we went to in n out a ton last year because of tennis, we have lots of customs and traditions. We always get two hamburgers, with no fries or drink, and water. Today, we decided to try and make lemonade with the free lemon slices and free packets of sugar. I used six slices and six packets of sugar, and it turned out to be not that bad, just a bit weak. Next attempt, i'll use eight of each. I named the awesome money saving invention, "Asian Lemonade". Here's a picture of it:

On the way back to everyone's cars, we stopped at bloodstrike (the asian cyber cafe where all the cool people hang out), and then on the way back we saw a small weird davis electric car, and an accident in the middle of the road. I drove by slowly and took a picture out my window.


In the little time between school and tennis practice, I came home with joseph and discovered that the window blinds had arrived. We quickly went to work and set it up. Its cool having really dark metallic blinds instead of light cloth ones. Looks pretty schway.


I just made a small panoramic of my senior writing seminar class:

Since a few pictures were exposed to direct lighting, the panoramic didn't turn out quite right, and I couldn't match the pictures well enough to make the transitions smooth. It's the idea that counts.
