9/17 Reset
Okay, so school started about a month ago so things are slightly hectic? PE teacher takes everything so seriously, making us run a mile for warm up. Eventually, she wants us to run a 5k in December. I think her standards are a bit high but that's just me. I like my Chinese 4H teacher. She's pretty kind to us and my brother had her for AP. Biology teacher is very understanding of us students and tries to make our high school experience the best it can be. It is awesome that he also plays badminton :D. Band is not bad I guess, the music we play is actually kind of legitimate. Our teacher makes some really bad jokes that I just don't understand. Literature is slightly boring, but it is one of my weaker subjects so I should probably try and learn something. However, the teachers are not really teaching anything? Math teacher is cool. Teaches physics as well. I think I made a bad impressive on him after sleeping a little bit. Oops. Well, here are my goals I guess.
Musical-
Practice piano at least 1 hour a day instead of slacking off
Need to get level 10 quickly before I have too much school work
Get 1st clarinet parts, probably should have tried harder on auditions

Speak Chinese more fluently so I can actually communicate with Chinese adults
Get a high percentage A in Chinese 4 Honors
Be able to read majority of important Chinese words
