I'm Done

My quarter ended at around noon today.

Thank God...it's finally over.

I finished my project resubmissions for Studio Arts 65A this morning at around 8:00am.



Project 1 Resubmission
Jagged Edged Skipping Stones

Five different icons/tiles--BCC, CCM, SRCC, SHHS, and family. Most of the people I've met/I know are from or were met at/through one (or more) of these groups.



Project 3 Resubmission
Design Culture Now

Our assignment was to design a poster using all the text we were given...and we weren't allowed to add any graphics or anything.

It's pretty straight forward. My first poster very poorly designed...I hope my prof agrees that this is a far better project than my first attempt.

That...is all.

I slept for 8 hours today...


...and I'm going back to sleep. =]

Brothers Appreciation Night

CCM Boys Walk It Out


Lyrics:

This the numba one CCM sound
Sistas, we about to get down
We the hottest in the world right now
Just touched down in HSL

You know we the best
Other ministries got nothin' on us
Such a huge blessing to ya
Give thanks to God, hallelujah

Now you know that we're the best so listen up
Count us as a blessing and buy gifts for us
We know you want to come kick it with us,
You can be our CCM boys
Our CCM boys
----


Freshman you're still young
Sophomores you're forgotten
Juniors we don't care
Seniors --- walk it out.

It's the end, bruddas, we're all seniors now
Let's reminisce a bit, bout how it all went down
This the last time for class of oh nine to appreciate
The brothers who have great faith

Back when we were fresh, men in the dorms
This is when our first impressions just began to form
Travis you so funny, with yo coupon book
Eddie's pretty hair and his yujah look
Jacob serenades to get his lady friends
Andrew worked it early and we know how it ends
Kelvin always knew the facts he's our historian
Yash you've always been around, our token indian
Richard you so quiet, youse the mystery man
Jon you went away a year to see the motherland
Ushino's part of Men in Blaque, his singing is legit
Barlis you're the newest brother, doesn't seem like it
David Jeong, you carnivore, your presence we be missin'
This the famous class no one can top, don't you be dissin'

Senior boys
walk it out x4

Let's bring it back now, to the present time
Let me tell you little bit about these boys of mine
They got all the goods, not them worldly things
But the kind of awesome fruits the holy spirit brings
They got love joy peace patience kindness gentleness
Self-control and goodness, never-ending faithfulness
You got our back, bruddas, we can count on you
You can lead us in the way that Jesus taught you to

We appreciate (appreciate!)
All these memories that you and i create
Praise the Lord (praise the Lord!)
Cuz He is good (cuz He is good!)
For givin' us you bruddas to chill with in our hood

I heard about how junior boys took out the girls for valentines
And sophomore fellas took the time to cook a meal that was so fine and
Freshman guys you gentlemen i'm sure you're awesome too
But senior boys we'd never trade these younger ones for you

You know we sistas love you
Class of oh nine
You know our friendships are true
For all of time

Freshman you're still young
Sophomores you're forgotten
Juniors we don't care
Seniors --- walk it out.

Deleted scenes/bloopers


This was my life for the past week or so.

Jen Chung, Garnet, and I wrote the lyrics...took about three hours? We recorded and then G edited the song...

I filmed and edited...I lost track of how long that took. I do remember, though, that I pulled an all-nighter on Sunday and worked on nothing else but this video. I pulled another one on Monday--I think I did some school work as well as do the deleted scenes/blooper reel video. Then Tuesday's all nighter was for the purpose of catching up on schoolwork...and Wednesday my body couldn't take it anymore so I slept for six hours.

Then it was BAN.

I think it went relatively well. Garnet and I performed our version of "Lucky"...but that went kind of badly. We were up right after they showed our videos...and...I think we'd been too excited/anxious/nervous about the video that we were drained by the time it was our turn to perform. I remember I was shaking even before we started singing, and I zoned out during the song...my goodness. I really hope nobody posts the video from that--it was seriously no bueno.

This year's BAN was crazy for me, personally. I wouldn't be surprised if it all came out to be a total of ~40 hours that I put into this...wow. As much fun it's all been, I'm not gonna lie--I'm glad it's all over and that I can sleep and focus on school now.

Here are the lyrics for "Lucky"...

Verse 1
Do you hear me?
...Is this mic on?
(more dialogue)

Hello brothers!
Here we are
for the last time.
We've come so far
since we were freshmen
years ago.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

Chorus 1
Lucky to have been in CCM
Lucky to encourage you again
Lucky to be calling you our friends

Verse 2
Freshmen brothers
here's some advice
Our God's amazing and He will use you
even if you're a rowdy bunch
of punks
Miracles happen

For example, here's a story
of a shekki's climb to glory
Since his first year, he's been uncool
Mister ADM, God used you fool!

Chorus 1

Verse 3

Let's be real now, here's a few things
for you brothers to consider as you
continue growing in
your love, your hope and your faith

Just remember that in this lifetime
You will struggle and you will find
that you're not perfect, but that's okay
Carry on, and remember grace

Chorus 1

Bridge

Brothers we appreciate
All that you have done for us
Truly God has shown us grace
for blessing us with fellowship
as sweet as this, it's heaven sent
we know...

Chorus 2

So we
Thank you for the memories we've shared
for all the times you've shown us that you care
We're grateful that you got to meet us here

Chorus 1

That is all...

Bubble Girl

I am very slightly allergic to:
- cockroach
- soybean
- walnut
- Juniper/Cypress trees
- Penicillium
- Epicoccum
- Trichophyton

I am moderately allergic to:
- D. farinae
- D. pteronyssinus
- cat
- dog
- Amaranth/Atrip weeds
- Ragweed

I am highly allergic to:
- household dust
- horse
- grass
- sage weed
- Ash/Olive trees (and other major and minor trees...whatever that means)
- Alternaria-Spore 1:20 (what? mleh. It's under the "Mold" section...)

Of the 35 pricks, 2 were controls. So...of the 33 pricks, I reacted to 23 of them. I told the allergist that I'm also allergic to all melons, bananas, avocados and sometimes kiwis, and he told me that I should stay away from latex because it's very likely that I'll develop a latex allergy with more exposure. He also gave me a bunch of samples to take on a daily basis...



Lovely...

I should just live in a bubble. hahah...

I'm really glad I figured out what I'm allergic to =]

The doctor was really nice. I wanted to give him a big hug afterward...but I guess that'd have been a little odd.

I'm going in for a follow-up in a couple of weeks...though I actually don't really known why. Hm...

Allergies

I finally went to see an allergist today and got a skin test done...

A skin test is basically...getting pricked by 35 different needles with 35 different allergens on them...at least, that's what I'm pretty sure it is. I just know that I for sure got pricked 35 times on my back...and I'm allergic to a lot of things. Haha...go figure.
