Itchy

Wow, it has really been a while since I've blogged. But anyway, right now I have a bad headache... and I'm just so moody. =( So last night I went to sleep around 12:20ish. I fell asleep around 12:40ish. Then around 1am, I woke up and I had the worst itch ever. It was all over my neck, scalp, some on my face and upper torso. It was like a burning itch and omg. I do not know how to even start describing it. Basically, it was THE WORST ITCH I'VE EVER HAD... I took some of anti-histamine that my doctor prescribed me. Then I put on as much lotion as possible all over my body. Those two things usually work (on small scale itches) but even after an hour, my itch did not go away.

It got to a point I had to wake my mom and dad up. I told them my problem and she took out my 2.5%hydro-cortisone cream and helped me put it all over the place that was itchy. Then she got me ice-packs and I just sat there with the ice-pack on my bare skin for about an hour. I started getting sleepy and the itch was residing so I decided to go to sleep.

I don't know WHAT IT WAS, but it was really itchy. =( I mean can you imagine? Your body is so itchy to the point to have to wake up! It felt like a million fire ants biting me and my skin was like burning with itches. When I looked in the mirror...omg.. my skin was actually all red, bumpy and it felt really warm. =( My mom called it "FongMok" (in cantonese) I don't know what that is and she didn't know how to explain it. She said I was probably too stressed out or had like an after-reaction from the fever I had 2 days ago. @_@

I woke up late this morning and I had a really bad headache. =( I still have it. And I'm still not in a good mood. I was planning on going home and taking a nap and then doing my homework, but I realized that I have SAT class after school today. Awesome timing =.=" wow...

Looking at the bright side. I got 10 out of 10 for Wong's test. Aced it. I'm running for President in CSF and I'm pretty sure I'll win because no one is running against me. =P

Then I bumped in to Ms. Blewitt when I was walking to the restroom today. She was like Hi! And I was like Oh! Hi! Ms. Blewitt! =) Then she goes on to ask me really quickly, "Do you know Erika Saracho?" And I was like "Uh huh *nods head*" Ms. Blewitt was like, "She got into HARVARD & YALE! See! You can do ANYTHING!" *fist bump* LOL

I don't know if that made me feel better or worse. Right now I feel like I can't get into any good colleges with my present grades. Plus I don't do any sports like she does. It's not that I don't try, but I can't play American sports. I'm learning but I'm not good enough to get on any team. =.=" But the confidence she had in me made me a bit happier and she's such an awesome teacher.... so yeah....

I don't have much to say anymore... I wish I could go home and rest. I don't feel like I can last until 5:15pm today sigh...and so much homework to do later. T___T headache... sigh....
Days like this I really dislike school and myself....

ACT No. 1

Mark 11 Jesus’ Triumphant Entry 1 As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of the disciples on ahead. 2 “Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As soon as you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone asks, ‘What are you doing?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it soon.’” 4 The two disciples left and found the donkey standing in the street, tied outside the front door. 5 As they were untying it, some bystanders demanded, “What are you doing, untying that donkey?” 6 They said what Jesus had told them to say, and they were permitted to take it. 7 Then they brought the donkey to Jesus and threw their (disciple) garments over it, and he sat on it. 8 Many in the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others spread leafy branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around him were shouting, “Praise God![a] Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our ancestor David! Praise God in highest heaven!”[b] 11 So Jesus came to Jerusalem and went into the Temple. After looking around carefully at everything, he left because it was late in the afternoon. Then he returned to Bethany with the twelve disciples. Praise God in highest heaven!”[e] 10 The entire city of Jerusalem was in an uproar as he entered. “Who is this?” they asked. 11 And the crowds replied, “It’s Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

The Last Supper 17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?” 18 “As you go into the city,” he told them, “you will see a certain man. Tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time has come, and I will eat the Passover meal with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus told them and prepared the Passover meal there. (Start acting here) 20 When it was evening, Jesus sat down at the table[c] with the twelve disciples.[d] 21 While they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.” 22 Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I the one, Lord?” 23 He replied, “One of you who has just eaten from this bowl with me will betray me. 24 For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!” 25 Judas, the one who would betray him, also asked, “Rabbi, am I the one?” And Jesus told him, “You have said it.” 26 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take this and eat it, for this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, “Each of you drink from it, 28 for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant[e] between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many. 29 Mark my words—I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.” 30 Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives 31 On the way, Jesus told them, “Tonight all of you will desert me. For the Scriptures say, ‘God will strike[f] the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I have been raised from the dead, I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there.” 33 Peter declared, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I will never desert you.” 34 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, Peter—this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.” 35 “No!” Peter insisted. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the other disciples vowed the same.

Act No. 3

Jesus Prays in Gethsemane 36 Then Jesus went with them to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and he said, “Sit here while I go over there to pray.” 37 He took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, James and John, and he became anguished and distressed. 38 He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” 39 He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” 40 Then he returned to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour? 41 Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!” 42 Then Jesus left them a second time and prayed, “My Father! If this cup cannot be taken away[g] unless I drink it, your will be done.” 43 When he returned to them again, he found them sleeping, for they couldn’t keep their eyes open. 44 So he went to pray a third time, saying the same things again. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said, “Go ahead and sleep. Have your rest. But look—the time has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Up, let’s be going. Look, my betrayer is here!” Jesus Is Betrayed and Arrested 47 And even as Jesus said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with temple guard armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests and elders of the people. 48 The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss.” 49 So Judas came straight to Jesus. “Greetings, Rabbi!” he exclaimed and gave him the kiss. 50 Jesus said, “My friend, go ahead and do what you have come for.” Then the others grabbed Jesus and arrested him. 51 But one of the men with Jesus pulled out his sword and struck the high priest’s slave, slashing off his ear. 52 “Put away your sword,” Jesus told him. “Those who use the sword will die by the sword. 53 Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands[h] of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly? 54 But if I did, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that describe what must happen now?”

22 And they brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha. 23 They offered him wine drugged with myrrh, but he refused it. 24 Then the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They divided his clothes and threw dice[c] to decide who would get each piece. 25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him. 26 A sign was fastened to the cross, announcing the charge against him. It read, “The King of the Jews.” 27 Two revolutionaries[d] were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.[e] 31 The leading priests and teachers of religious law also mocked Jesus. “He saved others,” they scoffed, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah, this King of Israel, come down from the cross so we can see it and believe him!” Even the men who were crucified with Jesus ridiculed him. The Death of Jesus 33 At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock. 34 Then at three o’clock Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”[f] 37 Then Jesus uttered another loud cry and breathed his last. 38 And the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 When the soldier[g] who stood facing him[h] saw how he had died, he exclaimed, “This man truly was the Son of God!” 40 Some women were there, watching from a distance, including Mary Magdalene, Mary (the mother of James the younger and of Joseph[i]), and Salome. The Burial of Jesus 42 This all happened on Friday, the day of preparation,[j] the day before the Sabbath. As evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea took a risk and went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body.) so Pilate told Joseph he could have the body. 46 Joseph bought a long sheet of linen cloth. Then he took Jesus’ body down from the cross, wrapped it in the cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone in front of the entrance. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where Jesus’ body was laid.

Act No. 5

The Resurrection 1 Early on Sunday morning,[a] as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb. 2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. 3 His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4 The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint. 5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. 7 And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.” 8 The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel’s message. 9 And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.” The Great Commission 16 Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted! 18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,[b] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Decathlon: Part 1

Okay, so I am done with 3 subjects: speech, interviews & essay! YAY!

I don't have much to say about them, but overall I think the team did well.
Everyone made time and we all liked our essay topics.

For me:

• Speech - Okay, it was not my best >.<
  
• Interview - Awweeesomee
• Essay - I loved it! haha

I think overall I did all right. =) I'm pretty happy about it and I'm glad that we've done 3 and only 7 more to go.

Oh yes, and yesterday, our administrator for Decathlon - My Trotters came in during our 6th period and told us...that he had set up a pep rally for us.

We laughed. LOL

We never expected anything. I mean, pep rallies are usually for football jocks. Even the basketball and volleyball teams don't get one. I was like WOW. I don't even watch the pep rallies. LOL. Ironic!!!!

Anyway, during lunch today, we went down to the grassy flag pole area. The cheerleaders were all ready and started cheering and stuff. Then they had an "L" formation. (L for Lincoln!!!) They called out our names and we had to run through their L formation.

When I ran through it, it was pretty scary. There were all these people I didn't know and they had their pom-poms in my face. >.< Then some random girl was put a necklace candy around me. Then I walked out of the formation. I was like clueless on where to walk to so I just walked back to where I was originally standing. LOL

Anyway, we're special! Pep rally for nerds! xD Nice... haha I hope this gets more people to join Acadeca. =) We need more team member for next year's team.

And part 2 of decathlon is this week! We're going to be testing on the 7 other subjects and doing relay! I'm excited for the relay!
