ties.

today i had to dress up for school. we had our bi-monthly school meeting and we have to "dress up" to look more professional and act more seriously.

well, naturally, i had to look online to see how to tie a tie. i keep forgetting how to do it! well, i went to his awesome website which showed me how to tie the half-windsor knot. well, last night i spent twenty minutes trying to put it together, but it kept coming out wrong. the first few tries, i couldnt get the length right, like it came out too short. and as i tried more and more, the tie wasnt tying properly, so that was a bummer! well the next morning i tried again, already frustrated from not being able to do it the night before, and i actually got it! apparently i was looping the tie the wrong direction the whole time. gosh, ties are confusing.

oh, and being that today was an early dismissal day, we got to go out for lunch! lunch with friends is fun, but also very vey very very very frustrating. lunches usually mean that most of our time will be spend wondering when we'd leave campus, and then where we'd eat. as always, we'll have one friend who doesnt want to eat the food that we want to eat, and then we'd somehow split into groups, and then one person will get very angry and everyone will complain and be hungry. and by the time we find a restaurant, its probably already all filled up or we eat at some cheesy place. its a mess. well, today, a friend and i decided to do what we already decided to do - go to taco bell! taco bell is fun because i can make fun of the fake mexican food while enjoying it, and its just fun to eat there. well, our group once again split up and it was great. but i have to say taco bell today was kinda bleh, like i ordered the wrong thing and my burrito was all mushy and stuff, but still rather tasty. well, yea so now when i get back to my huge group of friends, it just gets complicated. gosh, rumors. NOT TRUE guys! just taco bell because we were smart enough to decide on what to eat. eventually, who got to eat first? yea, thats right. WHAT! anyways, then we went to kohls and i finally got that cheapish tie bar with a black tie that my parents would never let me buy. (somehow my parents think black ties and black shirts are really really bad, but i dunno why.... weird superstitions? or just asian...) so today was an epic day.
