Wizzz

This weekend, I went to the Wiz Kalifa concert at the Ventura theatre. Rap music isn't really my style, but I went there with my friends on a party bus instead of going to homecoming. I was a good show, but it made me realize how much teens don't care about hearing loss. The speakers were so loud and I was on the elevated part of the first floor. Still, the vibrations were intense and after my one friend and I were the only two people out of 50 on the bus that noticed that our ears were ringing. Throughout the concert, I had to cover my ears to give them a break. One of the people jokingly mentioned bringing earplugs to the concert; but I wish I had! Teens just care about their looks and their feelings at the raw moment. Even I feel this way and I wouldn't wear ear plugs alone; however, if everybody would take preventative measures, it would be a normal thing. Both before and after the concert, we blasted music in the party bus also, I wish that there was a way to spread the message. Living in the moment is good at the time, but in the long run, it will do damage.

こん週末、Wiz Kalifaて言ったラッパーのコンサートに行った。ラップ音楽はあんまりるいかのスタイルではないけど、友達と学校のホームカミングの代わりにいた。いいショウだったけど、どんなにティーネイジャーは難聴のことを考えないってよくわかった。スピーカーのヴォリュムはとってもうるさかった。50人でパティーバスをかりて行ったけど、るいかともう一人に子しかおわったあと、耳はなってるってきがつかなかった。一人の子はふざけて、耳せんをもってくればよかったって言ったけど。るいかは本当に思った。ティネージャはじぶんのかっこうとか今の楽しみしか考えてない。るいかも一人で耳栓するのもやだもん。でも、みんなはやってくれると、ふつうになる。コンサートのあともまた音楽をうるさくきいてかえった。今のたのしみも大切だけど、ずうっときよつけないと、耳を損傷するよ。

School, college, life, ahhhh!!!!

So I'm still up finishing up my homework. Since senior year has started, I have barely left my house on the weekends. It's hard seeing some of my friends having fun and going out while I have to stay home, but I have to. It's the consequence of my actions. So basically I've completely slacked my four years in high school and mostly this summer. Slacked as in college stuff, not school, I've always had to do well in school or it would bother me. I knew I HAD to go to college, but I didn't want to, so I was never fully motivated. I did everything last minute when absolutely necessary.
It was only until a few weeks ago that I was forced into looking at colleges and I found one that I really came to like. Being a very tough school to get into, I frantically started studying for my SATs, which was Saturday. I don't know how I did, considering, I studied very last minute, but I hope my score went up from last time. I'm currently studying for the next one just in case; it's weird being one of the only seniors still taking the SATs after October. Hopefully it goes well though, and I get into the college.
All I can say is: Study for the SAT/ACT early even if you don't want to! You might change your mind :)

まだシュクダイをやってる。四年制になってから、シュウマツもお家からほとんど、でてない。友達は楽しくあそんでるのをみてるのもたいへんだけど、しかたがない、ジブンのせいだから。ちゃんとしてなかったから。高校四年間と今年の夏とき、ちゃんと大学のことを考えてなかったら、こうなっちゃた。セイセキとかはだいじょうぶだけど。大学をいかないどダメってしってたけど、いきたるなかったから、がんばるきにならなかった。やらないとダメなことはいっつもギリギリにやってた。
でも、何しゅうかん前に、ヤイヤ大学みてたら、いきたいところをみつけた。入るのひとってもたいへんの大学だから、またギリギリにSATのべんきょうをがんばった。SATを土曜日にとったけど、すっごくドキドキする。すっごくおそくいきたいところをみつけたから、べんきょうしたかったほどできなかったし。前より、よくできたといいな!また、つぎにもチョウセンする!いきたい大学にはいれる点数をとれるといいな。
高校製:SAT/ACTはやきやったほうがいいよ!
