Summer 2013

    Well I finally did it (notice how I cut the crap about my leave of absence ;). WELL I AM FINALLY DONE WITH JUNIOR YEAR.
     Well it is bitter sweet. With high school getting cooler and cooler each day I attend (and I attended literally each day...literally...even when they said I didn't have too), I found the summer vacation calling to me.
     In the last few months since I talked, I managed to get my licence. That is :D and D:
:D because now my worry of my permit expiring is gone and I can drive if needed. But I D: because I never have actually driven alone and thinking of that is some scary stuff man. The closest is when my dad acts distracted by being on his phone as I drive. That sort of makes it feel like I am driving all by my lone-some and helps ease the transition. Next to driving, I managed to have at least 5 A's (one is a secret ninja of a B, grade that is, because chem is weighted). The six class, history, is probably a non-ninja B because the final was hard man.
     Well now that that school year is done with I have like 9 weeks of nothing to do. I am thinking of getting a job, but anxiety is holding me back. It is a combination of seeing people I know from my school, but I don't know them enough to converse with, worry of not being professional enough, and unable to help out customers. But hey maybe I will be the type that can work through a task even with the stress. Looking back at it, I even impressed my self with how I handled the stress of being part of the small props group with my school's giant ASL show.
    I don't know if I'll even get hired. But next week I am walking over to a near by shopping area and seeing what places need the extra help and see if I am up for that specific challenge.
     Next to probably not getting a job, I am heading to Tao to hang with the cousins in a few weeks so look out for a post about it by the middle of July. Also before I go, I need to go to the Del Mar Fair. I have a free ticket cause I entered a picture of my dog (see the pic in my last blog) and I want to see - *BREAKING NEWS* This just in (thanks to Brenda looking to see how I did) . I got second place for the third year not in a row - It's good that I got got second because this year I am in the High School division and the last two times I was in with Middle School division (because it was 7th and 8th grade; La-tee-daa to why I was in that age group). So competition is tougher this year and I manged to keep my 2nd place record, witch is better than getting the dreaded 3rd place or lower. Well even though I know what I got, I still should go because I got that free ticket. :D
     Also this summer I hope to use up or toss all the crap I don't need. Kind of like a summer cleaning, were I just organize my room. I most definitely won't do it all in one day, but over time I'll consolidate all the piles of paper and school work from the school year and then burn them at the stake...when I get around to it. Cause my life is so busy! (sarcasm)  But all jokes aside, I only do about 70% of that organizing because by 71% you look around and say "WHAT THE FREAK am I doing?!?" and the organizing gets boring. So you shove everything in one box or drawer and go watch YouTube.
       Also, I am super stoked to go to Vidcon for my birthday in August, It will be a blast, but the down side is that summer will be almost over by then.

I GOT A 4.17 GPA!!!!! 
That's strait A's!

The Big Bad Bear -Puts the":O" in ":O"H MY

(requested by: Jeronimo)
     So I don't have to tell the story soooooooooo many times, I'll write it on my blog so when this happens (the following is in SoCal Surfer-Dude accent)  "Dude, What happened to your phone?",  I can be like "Dudee, check out my blog!
     So over Winter Break, My family and I went on a hike at A Place Where The Tall Tress Grow, CA. We went on this hike. People did small & big talk, but I did music & (rocked out in) ASL. I went about 7.346 miles then my ipod died. So then I went 16.829 kilometers before my phone died. Then I switched the batteries in my phone. I mange to get through one Modest Mouse song before I heard, what I heard.
      At this moment it looked like we just landed in Japan everyone around me was running from Godzilla. Me being the slow reactor, is thinking *Wtf is goin-HOLLY CRAP A BEAR*. Then I stood like this [:O>-<. Then shortly after a few minutes (from this point on a man screams "My leg!" every 2-5 minutes) , while people where running like chickens with their heads chopped off, my voice box turned on again and noises expelled from my throat. This is because my throat was dry from the long hike. After my release of emotion, I just sat their for a second [Bl-/-< and the bear sort of did the same thing I was doing.
     This "second" turned into a few minutes as I pondered what to do. Then my stomach began to growl louder than the bear, it was even biting at my arm. So I thought of a way to end this quick, so I can get some grub ASAP. Then I proceed with my plan.
     So If you know me, like my friends do, you will know my eyes are ubber sensitive to light, wind, and comedians. Anyone of these make the sprinklers or waterworks of my eye go on like *SNAP*, or as my friends would say that I am sweating through my eyes, to solve this I were my colorful sunglasses  Like most days, I had one on this very day. Luckily for me, the EBay fairy didn't come for the bear, so the bear ain't got no sunglasses. If you wondered, I had my orange ones on. So with the sun at about ∠57. 9° above me, I grabbed my paper weight of a beta phone and lined it up where the sun was and hit right in right of both of it's black eyes.
     The bear reacted by scrunching up its face and trying to slap the light off his face. Then he, with eyes wide shut and unknowingly, took a step toward me and punch. He managed to come into contact with that same phone of mine that I had in my hand from when I was trying to pick a song to play, that was before all this mess. This force knocks me on my back. From the ground, I watched him starting to walk backwards in to the Place Where the Tall Trees Grow, stumbling on twigs and gopher holes as he went. After falling twice, this bear got the idea that maybe he should turn around. He did just that and disappeared behind the pine, orange, and apple trees.
     People ran around like the headless chickens for 7.38 minutes before slowly one by one, my family and other hikers that I saved, noticed that the bear was no more. They all thanked me and offered to buy me dinner and shower me with other awesome gifts, because I saved their life. I said sure why no. Yah it is not the "hero like" thing to accept gifts, but my stomach was turning into a noisy bear. I grab my phone to invite friends to come and celebrate with me, but then I noticed that the phone shattered. I saved at least 22 people (not counting me who counts as 4;) and a few more passing bystanders from a bear and I only got a cracked screen. Pretty cool, don'tcha think.

     I even saved this amazing "couple".

25randoms

I'm thinking of starting a new thing which I will randomly state 25 things. (Which means this wont last long.) I will post one when I have completed 25 random things to say. These could be witty things I want to say, small little notes to myself, or stuff out of context that I found funny.

What went down on 12.21.12

In Chemistry
     Well hello there, Today is finally 12.21.12. Now as I type this I am currently in photo (first period). Now before I get a head of my self let me explain something to you. Earlier this week my school allegedly got a gun threat, by a Junior. A kid that is in my grade. A kid that, from what I know, has the same English and History Class as me. The point I am getting at is that this school is a ghost town right now. The threat was made for today and that scared some parents. Even my mom didn't want me to come. Also, kids are playing hookie because it is Senior ditch day, people taking their winter break a day early for trips and such, and also people rather spend their last hours with their family (or parting it up). Note to the Mayans watching this: There is always a Walmart or Target (or some calendar store) in spitting distance, so go power up your dang Flintstones and go down to whatever store to buy yourself a new freaken calender. Sorry, but us non-Mayans do it about every 365.25 day, 12 months or 8,766 hours. I say about because some of us are eager than others to get the new kitty cat or nature scene calendars.
-well for now I must go to chem keep you posted.
(Inseret the greatest put on hold elevator music here for IDC amount of time. I now type this from my room.)
     Class was not your typical day. They made it where we have both odd and even today because they wanted us to have an equal  # of hours in each class. How many people where in my classes? Well instead of me spelling it out, let me just paint a graft.

class-# of kids(not counting teacher or me)- comments/what we did 

photo- 5- this class had a good % seniors, but 3 did show up. I listed to music and emailed my Nana

< img src = "image_url" atl "Alternative_Text" />*passing time*- talked to the gang for a second and got a cool present from Sergio (Im name dropping w/o your permission Jeronimo) that looked like it was wrapping paper that was wrapped up. I planed to open it at lunch. Kyra gave me body butter in the car ride to school. It was a little sweet for my taste (because Kyra is 2/3 part surgar pie (2/7 parts human, and rest is crazy juice)), but it was still good. Kyra gave Sergio a leggo Patrick Star key chain. I  must break its legs. (I accidently did that to 2 of kyra's keychains.) Kyra got a Sponge Bob poster from Sergio. Also I for got to mention that both Kyra and I got a BestFriendsEver ring from Sergio. They were made from wood because he takes wood shop. Also, they happen too express another SpongeBob reference.

ChemistryH- 12-  I believe there was high turn out because it was an honors class or people like the teacher or playing his xbox- i played with my phone, eaves dropped, asked one chem question, and took a pic of the board

*Small 17m break- I hung out in history with a few of my friends in my history class. I didn't feel like hunting the gang down so I walked strait their.Sergio had history too (different class), but couldn't track down his friends. So he popped his head into my class, finally wearing the Mike Wazowski green shades I gave him. We talked with a few of our other friends in the room, then the bell rang*
History- 13- this is because this is a big class (like 43 kids)-we took 2 notes and watched 2 clips. One was of Ferris Bueller's Day Off it showed the 2 scenes/montage of Ferris trying to beat his parents home from playing hookie. My teacher gave us candy canes.
fancy board in math
Algebra- 6- we worked on 5 math problems and did a raffle (We get tickets for passing out papers and writing work on the board) I got 2 chocolate bars.

ok I will stop because this is getting out of hand.
*Lunch time* I passed out my brownies to people. I gave Sergio his 2 bottles of silly string and homemade paper clip SpongeBob necklace. I opened the thing I was carring and it was a poster of 20 cats with headphones. First thing, I thought was to tape sunglasses on the kittens.



Sponge Bob is referenced so much between
my friends.
ASL-10-did as we pleased, but we had to sign for 25points, I played pictionary and ninja with my friends, Amanda and Madison.

English- 9- we just talked as a group. The girl next, Alexa, to me described it as the breakfast club. I would agree, but I also saw it more of a nice version of TMZ, were my teacher/classmates would tell stories and at one point we went around the room asking what people would do for break.
That is if my teacher was this.

Hope you like that the world didn't end.
smileface(:

As the day went on, I noticed that a few kids too pictures of their class (candid; not a group posed :D type of photo) they wanted to make a collage out of them and show the people, like the ones who ditched, what it really looked like.
Maybe next time, I'll try to look ahead like that. It would have been cool if I did that.

sorry, with the excessive pictures.

Back to the...Storyboarding

     Recently, I have a lot of time on my hands. Maybe this is because 4 weeks ago I had the ASL  Show (Where my ASL class preformed songs in ASL ) and that took 2 nights of 5 hour practice and 2 nights of 2 hour performance. That is when I learned to be more productive with the time I have on hand...Maybe I am just getting better at getting my my time management-To that i say "HAHA." Maybe my teachers are giving out less work, because I can't tell you the last time I had English homework.
     In English and History, we have been learning about film elements. Please don't get your panties in a twist, the classes are made to learn though the use of film and the exploration of the film elements. Every once and a while, I have moments when I wanted to go strait home, dust off my DSLR, and try to film something, anything, just to experiment with. But when I arrived home, stuffing my face with food and plopping myself in front of the talking box sounds better. Little do I know that my work will soon be plastered in the media that I was consuming.(And I'm not talking about the food) Haha...I am being full of myself. But hey, you never know! :D
     As of right now I have no inspiration for a big blockbuster movie, but I just wished to find a scene to fiddle around with my camera and moviemaker. Something that I can practice filming with multiple angles and get a feel for stuff. Then as reaching over for a tissue, that was out of my reach, it hit me. I remember watching a silly YouTube video of a guy tiring to reach the TV remote from his bed, but it was out of stretching distance. He made it so dramatic...well it is not really that dramatic, but it does earn some TeeHee's (SHOUT OUT too any Nigahiga fans out there?).
     Also during lunch yesterday some of my friends came up with the idea to make a movie. I don't know if we are actually go through with it, but whatever. Now it will be cool tiring to brainstorm a scrip and whatnot. I mean I thought about interviewing one of my friend's about her weird dreams and maybe create a scene that follows the idea that she gave me.
     Come to think about it, my last movies I filmed were pretty much the same. In 8th grade, I made a movie for English about a girl who gets kidnapped and I played the role of the girl. Then last year, in ASL II, the project was to make a movie using medical signs and I played the role of the injured girl. This year in photo, I played a roll of a girl that got chased and then headbutted to the ground. I was technically the star roll in all of them, but that was because of default. Both of them involved my character to get physically harmed by the bad guy and cops (& a doctor for the ASL one, and a wizard for the photo one) had to help save me.I need more variation. I need a new story plot.
      So for now I'll keep you posted about my movie related things.

How to Become Charismatic

     So you want to be more Charismatic? *You shake head (left-right)* No? Well then do you want to look more friendly? *Silence, followed by no comment* Well, you at least want to trick people into thinking you are friendly? * "Ehhhh" and ehhhh faces D: * Ok Great :D we are getting somewhere.
     I on the other hand would love to enlighten you...But even more I would like to do my part and help rid the world of self centered people ("my friend" is the best example). Maybe I can almost do this by teaching them how to communicate to a point to when they could help trick people in to thinkin-- (i was going to say "thinking that they aren't  shallow or narcissistic")--ehhh what is the use. Just read my list and use it for whatever reason you may need.

This can be narrowed in to a few steps.

1) Acting interested in convocation
-There are times when you should be doing little to no multitasking when hanging with your friends.
When I learned ASL, They teach you to have your full attention on the other person. Well that can be a bit creepy if you stare, flat-faced, at the person. Taking stuff like that into consideration, you can at least take a headphone out, stop txting as much, or getting your nose out of your kindle. Yet again at times it is ok to txt, but not to much or it is disrespectful.

Example: One day during lunch my friend was like 2 feet away from my group of friends eating .When we would be talking she would let out a loud laugh or exaggerated her speech. It over powered our conversation and was very annoying. She did this for like 30 minuets of lunch.

Example: I was in my friend's car and she was listening to her iPhone  I ask for her to turn it down cause the stupid One Direction was making it where I can't here my own thoughts. SHE HAD HER FLIPPIN HEADPHONES IN TOO. She looked at me, shook her head, and laughed. Her mom did a more subtle laugh that meant "hey my daughter is being a rude brat, but I am not going to stop her"



2) Body Language
I hated being in elementary school and every one sat on the same side of the lunch table. You had to yell down the row of people to talk to a person. That's why I liked sitting on the other side so I can actually talk to people.
What I am trying to get at is that pick a good angle.Also,like in ASL, eye contact is good,but not too much or it be weird.

Example: When my friend met my other friend for the first time, she showed no eye contact and he called her out on it.


3) cheese stuff.
  • Be confident - my favorite saying is "You're only human." so it is ok to screw up and laugh it off
  • Humor is always great--if you use it correctly and not stupidly
  • Be Ethical- look at stuff in different perspectives, in the other's shoes, ect.
  • Take put downs like a grain of salt, but if you can't tell them in a way that doesn't sound whinny. Come backs are great too.
  • What did I miss?

4) What I tend to do...
I tend to ask questions about the other person to get the conversation running. And what is great to do is if they/you throw the same question back that you/they asked them. This shows that they/you are interested to hear their response to the question. I tend to call this as the Meet-Me-Half-Way method. This is also a good chance to see if they care enough to through the question back at you or they don't or/and rather talk about something different.

5) other/fill-in later/What are your thoughts?

 See this for more info:

Once again, here is this if you have another problems. I have yet found a use for it. Oh, when I do, ill for sure tell you.

My 2 cents...about 2 cents

     So you know the feeling? The feeling when you get money and the more you make transactions with it you end up with a crap ton of dimes, nickels, and pennies. Then you either have a coin purse, you toss it the bag to not to have to fettle around with the coin purse or drop it in your bag and you forgot that their is a black hole (or wormhole; I don't judge) in there so you go through this cycle of the loose change cluttering your bag, house, and car.
     Well when are you going to use that loose change? It is a pain to carry around and hear them clink. Its like they are the equivalent to a human cow bell. Nobody wants to be known as a Mr. Krabs. When you actually get to pay with them, it is a pain to have to take your time jumbling around all of the change while people wait on you.
     Yes, you can try to predict how much cents you need, but tax will throw you off. My solution to this is get a coin purse with a dollar amount in change. When you buy something for $7.46 you can give them your $2 in change, a Lincoln ($5 bill), and either $1 or two quarters. You will still get change back, but you have less coins than you started with. The other solution is to go up to the cashier and ask them to exchange your coins (or low dollar bills; $1 or $5) for dollars (or $10 or $20). They normally will be glad cause cashiers also have the problem for getting a bunch of paper money ($10, $20, $50, $100) from customers and so they will need some dimes, nickel, and pennies for the change back. It is like the cashier's have the opposite problem than us (even though they rather have $5 and$1 to break the$10, $20, $50, $100, but that is a different story). In the long run this would kill two birds with one stone. My last option is to make a bet and pay the person in change. My sister won a bet, but her friend payed her in $3 worth of pennies. You can't buy anything with 300 pennies!
     Also, YouTube & book author, John Green has some good points. It makes no sense/cents (blehhh puns are hard over txt) to make pennies and nickels when they cost twice the price to make them. I hope he doesn't mind me buying my VIDCON ticket in change. :D
(Yah, If you don't know. The Vlogbrothers invented Vidcon.)

Organisation: Love it? Hate it? eh?

     Well we all  know that we should be organised.Some are better then others at being organised, while others can live in completely filthy, Actually come to think about it, its there a whole spectrum of people who are in the middle. The ones with 75% organised, 33% organised, or the ones that can be 90% organised, but it is because they have 0% will power so they are at 12%.
     I my self has realized that I have been getting the need to organize or, as my mom put it, CLEAN. I love the thought finding things you never use and giving it is purpose again. It is also nice to de-clutter your room from the useless crap you had. I always think of giving my friends my unwanted stuff, but I then think "Why the heck would I do that! It would just transfer the clutter to another room and that's bad to do to a friend" and "Why would they want my useless crap anyways? To add it to their shrine of me because we all know Paige has one" (haha JK Paigie). When I get half way to almost done with organizing/cleaning, I stop and think "WTF am I doing?" becaause that's when it is no longer organisation but clean-isation (see what i did there).
     If you haven't noticed, I have tabs on my blogs now. I now can make different segments and such. I will follow up with another blog giving a description of each tab.
     Well enough with me, your probably hopping I will give you tips for back to school or life help. Maybe the only reason your reading this cause of StumbleUpon or your already following me. But any who-daa lets get on with a few tips.

     So if your spring-cleaning your room-
1. Take everything that is out of place and put it on your bed. That junk on your shelf, clothes on the ground, and that snake in your boot. If you already know were the item in question should go then your welcome put it there. Like clothes in the hamper or hanging in the closet. When your done with this task your room should be spot less, but your bed. ***But you cant go to bed unless you find a home for that stuff. This is where you toss it, store it in a spot, or eat it.

2. Vacuum and dust. This one is a must.

3. For drawers mentally label each drawer for one thing. Let it be school suplys, craft stuff, and electronics for your night stand. Shirts, pants, underwear/socks, skirts, and so on for the dresser. Also toss any crap you don't need or use.

4. Tight corners. Look under your bed, and  behind your dresser for stuff. You probably drop somthing down there, was pretending to be a chipmunk, or wanted to make a "clean" get away (that can mean your hidding something or you need to clean so you can do some social activity with your friends ). Whatever the case may be I'm guilty myself.(:

5. Launry Day. Wash your sheets and clothes.

Other tips

1. Using a desk organizer can help. I also take all my school papers that I don't really need , but I keep them for the whole school year in plastic bags and shoe boxes in my closest. You never know when you will need those papers or need something to be in your bonfire.

2.For school, (as you probably know if you read my back to school blog) I stress the fact you should get spiral notebooks for each class you do do your stuff in. "But Kayla I write a lot". Have no fear, just uses one for note taking/classwork and one for homework/classwork (put classwork somewhere). I say  make sure the note taking book is durable because you will need it for the whole semester or maybe even the year. For the other one, just get a 35 cent one from target. Depending on what your teacher is like, they might ask to see your work. So either rip it out or ask if they can turn in your homework notebook.

3. Planers. Use them.

Do you have any tips? list them below.

Public Trolling

     I have always wanted to *Publicly Troll, but I don't have the conformance (or the balls) to.
Just think about it. Walk through a Macy's asking people "What year is it?" and screaming "It worked." with your arms up. If you wanted to act pissed you would stomping your feet and yelling "[friend your with name here], we went back to far" or "[person], we didn't go back far enough". Its funny cause they would suspect you time traveled.
     Publicly Trolling can be really funny. Here are some from YouTube. They are R rated, but it is so funny.

     
     Ohhh I have some other good ones. Trolling on my mom. Think about it, I just get one of my guy friends and act like we are dating. The trick is that my mom wants to interrogate all my my guy friends, regardless if i like them or not (-_- I don't like them), that's one reason why I don't invite my friends over. 
    Or the next time she kicks me out I'll say I am going to "Brian's" house. Technically "Brian" is fake, but  It would still piss her off. 
    Also, I could practice my acting skills on her. I know I can't practice a Bitchy Teen cause she doesn't put up with that crap, but I can practice others. I can be Negative Nancy, Valley Girl, Depressed Danny, and many more. I don't really need acting practice because I have no need to act. Well If I do stuff with movies when I grow up maybe this would help.
     It my seem like my mom is over protective of me. I don't know why (well I have some ideas). My mom let my sisters hang with her guy friends when my sisters were my age (but that is another story that I don't want to rant). I would never actually troll her because the repercussions could be bad. I rather make myself look like an idiot in public, then act like myself (or a trolled version of myself) around my mom. Cause if you know me, My mom can't handle my awesomeness.
   
***Publicly Trolling- when you do things that normal people think your either drunk or mentally ill; its also in public
-It makes people wonder WTF and "DID THAT JUST HAPPEN"

Zzz Zzz Zzz...

1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 sheep...Zzz Zzz Zzz
(Well i finally chose a topic to babble about.)
Everyone sleeps. Some sleep more than others and others sleep less than some people. Doctors say we need make time to be with our pillow for 8 hours. I know people that can survive on 6, while others NEED their 10 or 12 hours.
Now all those facts rattling in that sleepy or well rested brain of yours. May I ask you if you know what happens when you sleep?  Majority of the time when I sleep it feels like I was MIA for those last hours. They pasted for what seamed like a few minutes. Just like the feeling if you were knocked out, but without pain. Think about it, you were staring at the back of your eyelids for hours.
Some people say that they dream. I rarely dream, but it helps if I'm sleeping in a different location (friends house or couch) or did something out of the ordinary (eat different foods, different sleep schedule, ect.). When I dream I only can catch parts of my dream. My last 2 dreams were of me stealing my mom's car and being a hooligan with it. This is because I got my driver permit last month. I even remember having a dream when my sister was doing her drivers training. I had a dream that she was driving me and my other sister. We were driving on an on ramp to the freeway, but my sister drove us off. We flew through the sky like the way most cartoons do. Before I could cuss out my sister I woke up. I always hate that "roller coaster, tummy in your throat" feeling.
The fear of my sister driving is what made me remember my dream. Some people tell me that you dream everyday, but you don't always remember those dreams when you wake. Some people keep journals near them to jot down their dreams so they don't forget it.
Maybe they wright it down so they can dream about it later? I remember waking from dreams that I wanted to see what would happen next. Like a page turner, but for dreams. Sadly I could never choose what to dream of. I believe they come from a thought in the back of your mind or a fear that is thrived by imagination.
Some dreams can have a mystical meanings behind them. While others can keep little kids up for mistaking a sweater in the closet for a scary blue monster. Maybe if those kids thought that sweater was a nice, giant, blue, fluffy dog. They wouldn't have a nightmare and there family can all go to sleep.
Well with school approaching, I need to go back to my old sleep schedule. I have been going to bed around 2:30AM and waking at around noon. I'm doing better. I try to wake up earlier, but I cant always go to bed . I am a night owl! I stare at the ceiling until 2 comes around. I am not an insomniac, but maybe it would help if I didn't listen to Owl City (he is an insomniac). Technology is my downfall. One more song turns to four, then six or one more YouTube video turns into eight. I need to learn when to flip the switch off, because its not healthy to be nocturnal in a diurnal world . I might turn into a scary blue monster if i don't get my beauty sleep.

What are you babbling about!

Recently I have noticed that i am starting to feel inferior or dumbfounded by other people who can speak more than one language. I feel frankly stupid and useless that i can't speak in anything, but English.Yah I take ASL (American Sign Language; for deaf people) and it is a language, but it isn't the same to knowing a spoken language.
 Its weird that English is the official language of more countries than any other language. My dad travels a lot for his work and he feels bad that American tourist can just suspect that they will find someone who knows English and can translate X-language to English.

Few of the most common languages are Mandarin (Chinese), English (Brits included), Spanish, and French (shout out to my friends who take français). It was the mixture of watching Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and listening to Regina Spektor (Russian-American singer), that's when it hit me--I WANT TO LEARN RUSSIAN. So to do this i downloaded a few apps for my phone (Dropid "todally un-"incredible 2). It's ok, but it just teaches me a few sayings, witch pretty much means it is useless.
I  understand that learning a new language is hard (No Duh), but i did find patterns in the vocab the app gave me.

Russion (how to pronounce)- English
простите (Prostyite) - Sorry
привет (Privet)- Hello

* So I know that п= pr
Woop-Tee-Do...i got bored with the memorization. 

I will probably give up on my quest to learn Russian cause it is't that useful, unless I watch Russian youtube, tv or movies. I don't have enough money to travel to Russia, but i have found the second best thing. On a boring Sunday night you can go online and *walk* the streets of Russia. I use Google's streetview. Yes, google maps may be better, because this is made of pictures that google has snatched from people that actually have money and a live to go there. *goes cries in a corner* Its a good alternative if you mother blocked the downloads and you can't up date it.

soooo foreign.
