There was a strange occurrence today, in the wee hours of the morning. I woke up at 3:14 AM thinking it was time for me to start preparing for school. Naturally, I got up and started to prepare. At the time I get up, it still looks like it's nighttime, so it's sort of hard to tell whether I've woken up at the right time or not. I checked my watch, and saw that there were still two hours or so before I needed to get up. I went back to sleep, but this time, though I haven't the faintest idea why, I put my hands underneath my head and slept like that. Well, I woke up again at about 5:15 AM, and found that my hands were completely literally numb. It reminded me of the time I had to get some teeth pulled and the dentist numbed my mouth completely. I would pinch and bite my lip, but nothing would happen at all. So, naturally, my hands felt like two pairs of overblown clumsy rubber gloves. I pretty much clapped the watch between my hands and squashed the little light up button. Well, because it's not often that my hands numb up, I bit my hand to see if I could feel anything. Naturally? I felt nothing. Rubber hand!! Just as I thought i would be stuck with inflatable hands for the entire day, I managed to get the feeling back into them by rubbing my hands together and sitting on them. A miracle.Oh yes. Elbert has hairy caterpillar eyebrows. Just had to say that.

Ironically, today is also a New Years Day. Chinese New Years to be precise. What a wonderful day. Homeless people get to have a good meal at a Buddhist Temple. Yes. I had no idea what I was supposed to be praying for today. Mostly because I forgot all the Mandarin. Yeah. Didn't go to the temple last year. My mom insisted that we wear something nice, so I wore my Benetton coat. Christina forgot to put the recharged battery in the digital camera, so we couldn't take any nice pictures. My mom asked me to pray for good health and whatnot, but some of the things she asked for me to pray for were a bit materialistic. I'm kind of agnostic, so I wasn't sure exactly what to do. But it was a family event that we did every year except for last year, so I did it anyways. Incense smells nice. I prayed for good health in my family and for me to be a better person and stop "hating" people. I was supposed to pray for Christina's entrance into a good college, but I sort of forgot. Oh well. There was this funny thing that we had to do, putting chips of wood in a smouldering fire. It started crackling quite a bit, so Christina and I dumped sand on it. We rang a bell and touched it like it was a holy relic and did the same with an elaborately carved drum. I always wanted to ring the gong and tap the drum/block thing. The concept was a bit strange. But it gave me a chance to examine the carvings on the drum.After prayer, we ate the food provided by the temple. Which was kind of cool. Except for the fact that my mom gave me and my sister too much food to eat. We went to a market afterwards and Christina dumped two bottles of Pocari Sweat in my arms and a big bottle of Calpico water. Both of us were listening to her Ipod nano, so it was a bit awkward walking over to my mom's shopping cart. I need to play piano today. And I dislike this layout now. I'll put a new one up soon.

Interesting real life situation.
Sorry if I sound like a cynic or something, but REALLY PEOPLE. You're not going to learn anything by copying off another's piece of homework. I will help you by explaining the damn problem to you and showing you the steps it takes to do it. But I am NOT going to just hand my sheet of homework to you and let you mooch off of me. For all those overachievers getting a "bad grade (depending on the situation)" in HP Chemistry or whatever, it's your own damn fault. Do you really think that you can possibly learn the subject by copying another person's homework and then "understanding" it? Give me a break.
I'm apologize if this applies to you, but the truth hurts. Get over it.
Okay. I need to stop letting the cynic take over. I lock you in a box, my good sir.
Anyways, back to the topic that was mentioned in the title.
Okay. I'll admit it. It was funny for a while, but now it's just getting old. Please stop those stupid little side comments and pointless shouts in class. An example?
Scenario 1:
Teacher: Okay, I really hope I'm not boring anyone to sleep or anything.
Student (I'm pondering if I should use your name): *muttering* but one person sleeps in your class everyday.
Scenario #2:
Random Student: LESLIE! WAKE UP!!!!
Yue Lai (Leslie): *eardrums are broken*
Gee. I didn't know that you were that concerned over me that you would go to the point of yelling across the room for me to open my eyes just because you didn't want me to miss whatever thing we're learning today. Really people, what I do does not concern you. I mean, just because you have a freaking attitude issue that likes seeing students getting in trouble so you can laugh at them, doesn't mean that you have to employ it all the time to make your insecure self feel better. I admit it, I guess it IS funny to watch me sleep in class, but by watching me, you're missing the ohsoveryinteresting lesson that you didn't want me to "miss" either. And just to let you know, 50% of the time you're asking me to wake up, it's when I am actually awake. When you tell me to wake up and my eyes are open, I then think that you need to have your eyesight checked.
Yeah. I do have a problem with staying awake, I can sleep almost anywhere. But I usually only sleep in class when I already understand the material. Mr. Lamb's classroom is so stiflingly warm, and might I add, shitheads, I finish all my classwork before I go and take a snooze. It's not my fault that you disgusting overachievers prefer to socialize and "do your classwork" at the same time and take about 40 minutes to do it, while I, because of lack of people to talk to (most of my friends are in junior year), finish earlier than you with plenty of time to kill. What am I supposed to do? Learn the secret arts of shoemaking while you're off gadding? Gosh people.
And regarding the issue of "waking me up", I have already enlisted people to painfully jab me awake, if I were to actually go into dreamland and think about fluttering butterflies being ridden by the Frogs of the Trapezoidian Desk.
Okay, to show you a guide to help your confunded minds comprehend my sleeping pattern, please refer to this guide.
Zero Period - Current Life Issues: I finish my class work before I drift off. There's nothing really that I don't know yet, that I have to stay awake.
First Period - AP European History: I sometimes fall asleep when she lectures, so shoot me. I got up at 5:30 AM. History comes naturally to me, though I haven't the faintest idea why (why couldn't it be art! ><).
Second Period - English Exp 2: If we're learning the vocabulary words of the week, and most of my vocabulary homework is finished, go screw yourself in a corner.
Third Period - Advanced Algebra 2: As previously stated, classwork finished, I go space out. If it's material I've already covered and are familiar with, go and pay attention. I don't really care to relearn it.
Fourth Period - AP Chemistry: I never fall asleep in this class. NEVER.
Fifth Period - Choir: Only when I am ill and are on pharmaceutical drugs.
Sixth Period: French III: A continuation of drugs. But I'll admit it, I shouldn't nap in this class just because I find the fact that most of the students are socializing instead of paying attention makes it virtually useless for me to learn anything at all.
Now, ways to tell if I am really asleep:
If my head is rested on my hand, and my eyes are closed, chances are, I'm spacing out and waiting for the rest of you to hurry your buttocks up. In this case, I am waiting for the part of the lesson I actually need. If my head is not being propped up, and it's jerking erratically, I am asleep. I don't need to have a "propping area" to go to sleep. I'll just shut my eyes and drift off. If my eyes are open, I'm awake. No shit sherlock. Just because my chinky eyes are so "small" that it makes me look like I have no eyes at all doesn't mean that they're shut.
However, I will agree that it is disrespectful to be falling asleep in class. So I'll try harder not to. Instead, I'll being doing all my homework and Kumon so I can play Harvest Moon at home. If not that, then I will be reading a novel/drawing/entertaining myself. If all else fails, screw it, I'm going to sleep.
Really, stop making such a large fuss. If you continue on in this manner, I'll begin to think that you're just jealous of me because of the fact that I can sleep through every class and still pass with a 4.0 GPA (hopefully a 4.167 or a 4.234(?) next semester!!). Well you know what, you dried of piece of envy? If I do happen to fall asleep in class when it's something that I ought to know, I make up for it by working harder to understand the concepts at home. Now go, and release all your issue problems onto someone else. If you do not cease to persist, I'm afraid I shall have to dispose of you.
The death bit was actually a joke. You can laugh at that. Have a wonderful day evening! And yes, I do regard most of you as a shallow, too talkative, spiteful, jealous, attention-seeking, overachieving lot. Not that I can't be shallow and spiteful and jealous and overachieving. It's just that you people tend to be that all the time.

Happy New Year. Just to be stupid and point this out, the stuff I write in here, really is what I feel.
