When I looked outside my house, the full moon was shining so brightly that the sky was the color of light navy blue instead of the usual black. I could even see the shadows of the mountains clearly. The moon was like a spotlight with rings of faint clouds around it. There were a few stars here and there too and it looked like everything was glowing. That vast sky was very beautiful. Even if someone took a high quality picture of that perfect moment, it will never be the same. There is just that special feeling that goes with it, that feeling you get when you know that something is really unique and can never be replaced. Pictures of any kind cannot shine any brighter than the beauty of nature.

Then OMG!! he said,"Okay, you passed."(barely) All the anxiety that I had rushed out of me. I got out of the car, my head held high, as I went to get my driver's license. It turns out that I was actually the FIRST to pass for the day.

For those out there who are going to get their license. I wish you luck and hope you will pass.

My dad told me to take a picture of him against the background and gave me the camera. I lifted up the camera focusing more on the pretty background than my dad because...well hey...it's pretty and my dad was put on the left side of the picture. My dad noticed that the angle of the camera was off and he thought I was ignoring him and taking a picture of the landscape only. Then he started to lecture in that I should at least put a person in the picture to make things more interesting and how taking pictures only with landscapes can be boring after a while and I should be listening to his small request and yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah. While he was yapping about that, I was making sure that the picture would be straight and that Dad did not look sideways. When I got it perfect, I snapped the picture...while Dad was still in the middle of his lecture XP. In my opinion, the picture came out really great...complete with Dad having his mouth halfway open and doing his What-are-you-doing-and-I'm-telling-you-something-right-now-and-you-should-be-listening-to-me pose. XDDD!!!
In the end, my family has experienced many types of weather in 3 days: snow, rain, heavy fog, sunny, and cloudy. After the rain we saw around 8 rainbows. I have come to appreciate my home more. Once we lived in a dry barren place with some run-down buildings and shabby ghost towns, we start to appreciate the lush area where we live right now with trees, bushes, and flowers and houses that are actually standing and at least clean.

And also, my landscapes are student's work. What I mean is that a teacher teaches you how to draw a specific thing like an animal or a specific architecture. After you learn how to draw the object, you start drawing stuff around it, like a background. If you want some lessons, go to my teacher's DA account, Ditroi. My Chinese school art teacher is awesome. She can draw a bunch of things. She has a small part of her account devoted to drawing stuff.

I have missed a whole bunch fun events that I could have gone to. The thing is, there was almost always something that bars me from them. It could be anything: an appointment, Chinese school, tests, projects, ect. I REALLY WANT to go, but things don't always turn out right. It is like my fate in my life is usually 'bar Jessica from this' or 'bar Jessica from that'. I don't like it one bit and I don't like to get people's hopes up and then crush their hopes at the last minute. I want to at least have SOME fun this year. Come to think of it, why do people call it 'sweet sixteen'? I have not seen or felt anything sweet about it ever since September 29. Sure, I get to have a driver's permit and license, I am almost an adult, and I feel a little more indpendent. Anything else? Not really. Ironic thing is that I live across the street from my school and I don't really go to places like the mall or the Spectrum frequently because I am kinda, almost like a sedentary person; so, there is absolutely no need for a car at the moment. I'm not going on any dates right now since I have absolutely no idea if there is any guy out there who will meet my expectations and is willing to accept who I am as a person, not just 'the genius' that I get from a whole bunch of people. So basically nothing is really happening except hardcore work which can be absolutely annoying.

The other side is that I understand that this is my most important year because colleges and universities will look at my scores I get this year. I DO NOT mean the Prom (what is it really for anyway?) or dances where people 'freak-dance' and 'get down' as important. My parents, especially my mom, really care about my future and want me to be able to go to a four-year university. My dad is cool with anything as long as I get my work done. But my mom is a different story. Yes, she says 'no' when someone asks me to go to a slumber party or any party really, especially if there is something else important that I need to do, but it's because she cares. I don't want to bother her very much because she has other things to worry about at the moment, like for example, my little sister. My little sister's life is like a bottomless quarry, unknown until you hit the bottom. My mom worries about her future since my sister has autism and development delay. My sister is growing up just like me. She's pretty cool once you get past a few frustrating moments here and there and I would never dump her for another sister. However, like I said before, we don't know what will happen to her in the future. My mom has to deal with that every single day. And I know myself that I am grown-up enough to make responsible decisions by myself. Because of this, I do not want to burden my mom with other worries or keep on bugging her about parties I want to go to, especially when I already know that deep down I have other important business to do than just go out all the time.

So the main question is: WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
I have compromised before. I go over to a friends house for a little bit and come back like around dinner time. Sorta like a half party thing...Why not? No one really gets disappointed feelings when I at least COME for a little bit...right? hmm..I need to think about this for a little bit...

She asked me to draw a picture of my fairy guardian, Wistera, because she needed some inspiration. Since I was busy with everything, I could not promise her a deadline. And I still can't. But I doing the drawing right now, which is a miricle. At the moment, Wistera still needs a few renovations. I got the outfit drawn and it's pretty cool. I still need to clean up the wings, fix the head (it's tilted awkwardly), fix her legs and feets (they need a few curves here and there), thicken up the arms (they look like matches), and then add pwetty colors. I just hope that Brooke is patient enough, I don't like to make people wait but right now, I've got crazyness bugging my life.

Right now I am tired, but the test is tomorrow so I am especially on the brink mental tiredness. And also, I have an SAT test coming right up on November 1st. So now, my fate is studying on HALLOWEEN NIGHT, when I could have stepped outside with my friends to get some candy or maybe even hold a Halloween party at my house. *faint* I REALLY need to go to bed now. I don't want to wake up tomorrow with a mashed up brain. I wish myself good luck tomorrow.
