I'm am so excited for tomorrow, because it's prom! I can't wait because this is my first year going to prom and I'm getting all dressed up for it. Another reason is because the seniors are doing a tango dance! All of them worked so hard on the dance, and I can't wait to see it! Especially Esther, Caroline, Godwin, Jack, and Rachel. I think Godwin is really lucky because Rachel is so adorable and she dance really well. Today I stayed after school til Ariadne 8 at night watching them practice for the tango. It was so amazing, I hope that when I'm a senior, my grade gets to perform a dance too. I also saw the shoes they're wearing to prom, because they have to practice tango in them to get use to it. Pamela's heels were so wicked, as well as Rachel's and Enya's. They were really cute and just overall amazing. I told them that when I'm a senior they have to help me pick out my heels.
Today is the start of spring break, I'm super excited! Finally, I can sleep at whenever I want and til whenever I want. Except tomorrow, because I have musical rehearsals at 8am to 2pm which is a pain! Just when I thought I could finally have some decent sleep, I have to wake up early to go practice something. After rehearsals are all preparation for prom, then PROM! I'm excited for tomorrow!

I really hate some teachers in this school, they make me so mad that I just want to yell at them. I thought teachers were suppose to be fair, and yet, they have favorite and treat everyone differently! I do all my homework, I don't fall asleep in the class, I don't comment during inappropriate times, and still the teacher treats me like nothing! I actually thought the teacher was a good teacher, even though the teaching's bad, but still a nice person. Now it's different, I really hate that teacher right now. It seems like every time there's a group project, I always get the worst groups, or at least people that I don't really prefer. I never did anything to the teachers, yet, I have the worst luck. I'm so mad I want to use swear words, but no, it's "inappropriate."
One thing that makes up for this bad day is basketball practice. Today was an easy practice because we focused mainly on the new comers. There's Janet and Stephanie, and Janet learns really quick. It's also been decided that the game against IBSH tomorrow is officially canceled. Pamela didn't want the juniors to play so they could focus on their academics, so that only leaves the girl's basketball team with 6 players. The two juniors that are gone are the two main point guards. Because of that, Mr. Lee had us train for controlling the ball, and shooting under the basket. I really need to step up my skills in dribbling, or I'll never be good enough.

I'm so tired today, and I've decided that I am going to sleep early today! There's the English mid-term tomorrow so I'm going to study then sleep. I finished all my homework due on Wednesday on Monday. I finished all the Friday homework on Tuesday, and Thursday I'm not sure about yet. I have no homework at all today, except to study. The perfect thing is that there's no school on Friday, so I don't have to worry about Friday's homework!
During math class, I wanted to sleep during the whole class but I had to stay awake and finish math homework. I hate biology class, the teacher gets more and more annoying after each class. He tells students don't talk, and we can't even whisper about the class PowerPoint. What even worse is that there's a quiz on Thursday, and he only taught the PowerPoint today! We had study hall during statistics class, and I took that time to finish my statistics homework. I didn't want to drag on the task of doing the homework during break, so I finished it in class. For musical, Amanda and I weren't called until 2:40 PM, so we stayed in Mr. Joubert's classroom. His students were making food, and we went there to help them eat the food they made. All of the food were delicious, even though we only ate like two dishes.
After school I wanted to bake brownies, but I couldn't use the oven without Mrs. Wallace. I gave up on asking for the oven, so I didn't make any brownies. Speaking of which, I really want brownies right now....

I'm actually a bit scared about my history test, I'm not sure if I got an A or not. I studied the materials, but I think he won't be satisfied with my answers. I tried my best though, and hopefully that will be good enough. In expository writing we had a pop mid-term, it was out of no where! He just said "OK, we're going to have a mid-term now." But, it wasn't that bad because it was open book, which helped.
Today, I finally remembered to buy my prom ticket with Amanda. I have a date so it's cheaper than going alone, I only have to pay 1200NT instead of 1500NT. We also wrote down our names for where we're sitting during prom. We have five people at our table so far, and we still need three more people to fill the table.
It was windy today, but not as windy as last week. I'm so happy that I didn't get hurt today, I was safe and didn't get hurt at all! I fell once on my knees but that nothing compared to what happened last week. I was pretty lucky during practice today, I made in three shots while practicing. I still need to improve my accuracy when shooting though. I found that my endurance and strength has gone down, probably because I was hurt for most of last week. I just hope that this Thursday our whole team will do good!

All the people from SPIMUN are back, and they brought souvenirs! I get to see all of them tomorrow at school, I'm super excited! It's midterm week next week and I have a history test tomorrow.
On Saturday, I woke up around ten, and after my mom and I went shopping downtown, we drove to Taipei. When we got to Taipei, she took me shopping again. I bought a lot of things, but not so much that I can't fit all of them in one medium sized bag. My family and I slept over at my cousin's house. On Sunday morning, I was suppose to visit my grandfather's grave but I couldn't wake up so they went without me. They tried to wake me up at six in the morning, and I never wake up that early, so they had to go without me. After I woke up, my parents got back around noon, and we went to lunch. I ate a lot during lunch, so I didn't have any dinner today.
Surprisingly, usually when I go to Taipei I do all my homework after I get back. But, this time I took my Holt Reader with me to Taipei and finished all the work I needed to do. Still, there's a lot of homework that I still have to finish.

I know it's far away, but I was thinking a lot about my future, about college. Every time I talk or think about college, I get really scared. Sometimes I even cry because I'm really scared of what would happen. What if I'm one of those people who work really hard, but I don't have the luck to turn out as good as others? What if I'm one of those people who try and work really hard, but still not enough? I'm really scared that my future won't turn out the way I want it to. I put a lot of thought into this, and I've concluded that I really don't know anything about my future. Right now, all I know is I love music with a burning passion, and I hate learning about things I have no interest in. I have no idea how that will help me to think more about my future, but that is what I know.
Today was also a really hilarious day, especially after school. We were laughing our butts off because of Tiffany Chen. She did this really cool face that made us all laugh. When Jack said "sh!" She said in her cool voice really intensely, "PIGS CAN FLY!" IT WAS HILARIOUS! Caroline even recorded it and she asked
Tiffany if she could post it onto facebook. That was my most intense workout of the day, and my favorite kind of workout.

I'm super hyper today, I don't know why but I'm dancing at random times. For the whole day, I didn't fall asleep in any of my classes, except history where I took a ten minute nap. In french we had a chapter test, which wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. After school I had to go the the office because I was speaking Chinese. Amanda was also called as well, so both of us had to clean up trash from the top of the lockers. After I cleaned the trash, Carol or jiaoguan grabbed me and made us help her with some moving. Because of the trash and suddenly being called, I went up the practice late.
There was a game for the boys today, they were against this school that if you translate it literally it's called World High School. I thought we would win easily, but we did not. I'm really sad and mad about it because one of the main reason we lost is because no one boxed out! We really shouldn't of lost that game, I really want the boys to play them again! But, I asked Mr. Rick and he said they don't have time. They're playing Guangfu next thursday, and we're playing some other school that day as well. I think that if Sean and Che-hung were here, we wouldn't of lost the game.

i went to sleep at around one thirty in the morning today, but my computer was on til around three. I was supposedly waiting to talk to my friend in Russia, but I fell asleep. People who were online at around 3 were all really puzzled by why I was still online at that time. In the morning we took a math test, which was like any other test. I really don't care about my math grade, as long as I don't do exceptionally bad, I'm fine. Right after math, we had to take a biology test. Mr. Lindeman isn't here this whole week, so we took the test in Wahlgren's class. The test wasn't as bad as I thought, I finish the whole test except for the very last question. It was some questions about fragments and whatnot.
At lunch I was laughing seventy-five percent of the time. Amanda was talking about how the chemistry teacher is really easy to mess with, and it made me speechless. Right when I was speechless and it was quiet, Jingmin dropped her cantaloupe! It was the most perfect moment, and all five of us started cracking up like crazy.
Since the SPIMUN people are gone, statistics class seems so empty. During statistics class, my eyes were hurting and felt super dry. We're learning about probability, and until today, I never knew how complicated probability can be.
After school, me and some other people went down to first floor. The seniors and their dates were practicing for their tango dance. I was learning along with them because I thought it'd be fun to learn the dance. It was super funny, because Godwin would go up to Esther and start jumping saying "Esther Lu, Esther Lu, Esther Lu." It was a really fun day!

Today was such an awful day, it wasn't awful as in bad mood, but awful as in unlucky. During world history class, Brandon started reading out a status of facebook, comment by comment in front of the whole class. During basketball practice, Caroline was making fun of a status that I put up. It wasn't that bad, it's just a bit annoying and kind of made me speechless. During practice I also got hurt three times, the last one was so bad that I had to sit out for the rest of the practice. First was when I was stealing the ball from Esther and I fell down and scraped my knee. Second time was when I accidentally slipped when stepping on Jingmin's feet and I got lines and lines of scratches on my shin. Third time was when we were playing a small game, and my muscles got all tensed up, eventually pulling a muscle. When I sat down I was crying because it was hurting so badly. When practice was over, I went to put on my jeans, but when I was putting on my pants, my scars were stinging!
The weather today was disgusting because it was really humid. I hate humid weather, so that's why I hate Taiwan summers. The school was OK, because there was air conditioning in all the classrooms. The hall way was gross, it was hot and humid. During practice I felt like I was taking a shower in sweat. Sounds gross, which it was, but I still had to go to practice! I'm hoping that tomorrow's weather won't be as humid and disgusting.

I got my prom dress on Saturday, and I love the dress! I actually liked another dress better but it was too expensive and not that worth the money since this isn't my graduation prom or something. The dress is silver and really shiny, it matches my date's tie and my shoes. I also bought a necklace and earrings while I was buying the dress. The dress and jewelry together is about one thousand NT, so it wasn't that expensive. I'm excited for prom, but there's only two weeks left so I have to start not eating so much. Ha ha.
On Saturday night, I stayed up till three in the morning because I wanted to stay up late so I could talk to my friends. Some of my friends are in Russia right now for SPIMUN, and I miss them. I stayed up late just to talk to them. :]
On Friday, the people who's going to St. Petersburg left at three p.m. Friday was also the day for the poetry contest, it was kind of fun. I like the poetry contest because it made all the classes a lot shorter, and some poems were really funny and meaningful. There were some poems that I really didn't like because it just made no sense to me, and I just didn't like it. At the end of the poetry contest, the musical production people had to sing "Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat." It was out of random, so when I heard that Ms. Alison said we're singing it, I was shocked. It was fun, even though everyone was shocked and singing randomly.
On Sunday, my family and I went up to the mountains to pay a visit to our grandparents. After, we went to this Hongkong buffet, the food was pretty good. It was a really big meal, after eating that, I didn't eat for the rest of the day. After the buffet, I went shopping with my parents and bought clothes and stationary.

This is one of the worst days I've had in a long time. Ever since after lunch I've been feeling down, and there's two reasons. One, it's because of the stupid chair in PASMUN. He thinks he's all that, and that he can control all the delegates just because for the first time in his pathetic life that he's in charge. THAT'S EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF REALITY, because he has no control over a lot of his delegates. Not because that the delegates are being disrespectful, but that the chair is worthy of our respect. It really makes me mad that he puts PASMUN in front of TAIMUN. One thing for sure, he needs to get his priorities straight!
Second thing is that my music abilities have gotten worse. For the past two years I've been in the school choir, so everyday I was listened and trained to listen and sing harmonies. Since I've moved back to Taiwan, I don't get a lot of chances to exercise my singing or hearing, so it got a lot worse. I'm pitchy and sometimes off pitch really easily. That doesn't usually happen to me, and I'm really upset over it. Music means a lot to me, you can really say it's my life. I live by music, and it's basically just as important and having family or friends. I love music, I want to major in music, but by thinking about how I suck at it, makes me want to cry. I feel like the things I love are slowly slipping away from me.

I'm so tired today, I almost fell asleep in every single class. It was harder to fall asleep in English and History, because we were actually doing things in class. In history we finished watching "Saving Private Ryan," which is a pretty good movie. During French class we did some exercise, but french is really easy for me because I learned french in seventh and eighth grade. When we were taking our listening test, I was closing my eyes when she was repeating all the information. In expository writing, I was sleeping through out the reading and also a bit when we were suppose to evaluate other peoples papers. I was really surprised because I was tired enough to fall asleep within 5 minutes, and I dreamt of something!
Basketball practice today was OK, but a bit tiring. We were practicing on our defense skills and my thighs were killing me! For some reason, I pulled a muscle on the arc of my feet. It hurt so badly that I couldn't walk or run properly for the rest of the practice. Changing my practice to regular clothes and walking home was difficult.
Today was high school stereotype day for spirit week. I dressed up as a nerd, as well and Jingmin, candy, and Amanda. I wore a plaid skirt with a blouse, suspenders, and knee-high socks, then I also braided my hair. It was really fun, and everyone kept saying I look really nerdy. I love spirit week!

WE WON OUR FIRST BASKETBALL TODAY, I'M SO EXCITED AND HAPPY! Right when the game ended I wanted to jump for joy, but I had to have sportsmanship. Even though I seemed calm and happy, I was almost crying tears of joy. I'm so happy, we finally won our first game, and I helped! I made in two shots which is four points! The score was 23 to 19, and we were 23! This isn't it though, the boys basketball team won as well! They won by three points with the score of 36 to 33. Last time they lost by three points, and this time they won by three points! The funniest thing was that when I made in my first shot, Esther jumped for joy and yelled "oh yeah!"
Today was also animal day for spirit week, and only a couple people dressed up for it. The seniors were the 101 Dalmatians, and the freshmen only had around seven people? Not sure, but very little. I was a lion, I wore this lion hat that I got for Christmas.
We got our tests back in biology, and I a really bad score! It's OK though, I'm use to the bad score so I'm not sad or anything. In statistics, we got our tests back too. I got 60 out of 80, but he lowered the points and made it out of 20 points. I got 15 out of 20 points, which seems a lot better than 60 out of 80.
Today was an amazing day! School was OK, not boring, but not super fun. I like today though, especially after school! On March 15th, 2011, I, Jean Hsu, won my first basketball game. GO TYPHOONS!

Today's basketball practice was so hot, I hate it! I hate hot weather, because if you exercise in that weather, you sweat. I hate sweating, because when you sweat, your body gets all sticky and gross. I was sweating like a pig today during practice, and I wanted a big fan or air conditioning. There's a game tomorrow, and I really hope we win. We've been working really hard, and the season is coming to an end, so I hope we'll win tomorrow!
For some reason, I felt that history class went by really fast, and french class really slow. In history class, we watched "Saving Private Ryan." So far it's a really good movie, and I actually like it, even though the movie's pretty graphic at some parts. In french class, half an hour seemed like an hour.
I'm so busy today, all because of...BIOLOGY HOMEWORK! I have biology homework to finish, and statistics to finish, and also, geometry homework to finish. I have to finish all that homework and manage to sleep before midnight. Is that even possible?
Today's Monday, and it's the first day of spirit week and we dressed in our grade color today. The freshmen were blue, sophomores were pink, juniors were purple, and seniors were red. I'm super excited for tomorrow because it's animal day and I'm going to be a lion! I finally get to wear my lion hat, and because of the basketball game tomorrow, I get to wear a tie over my lion clothes.

This weekend I stayed at home all day, I didn't leave the house at all. On both Saturday and Sunday, I woke up around noon, and stayed at home all day. On Saturday I didn't do any homework, but I tried. I mostly watched movies and TV show series, which isn't that good for my brain. I wasted a lot of time on Saturday, but it's OK, because I was watching Glee all day! Glee is an amazing show, I love all their voices. I hate Terry though, she's so mean and fake and just plain evil minded.
On Sunday, I did almost half of my homework. I finished all the homework that due tomorrow on Monday, and one third of what due on Tuesday. For two straight hours I was working on biology. Yet, only have of it is done. I still have other half of biology, statistics homework, and half of geometry homework to finish. I hate how much homework I have, and it's mostly because of biology. Without all that homework from biology, I think this year would have been a lot less stressful. It's crazy how I'm only a ninth grader, and I'm already under all this stress from homework.

Today's a PD day but I still had to come to school at 9:30 in the morning. Although it's later than the usual time for school, it's still early for a day off. I had to get to school by that time for musical rehearsals. I was a bit late, but the hot box girls weren't needed until 9:45. From 9:45 to around 10:40, we learned three counts of eight for the introduction of the play. It was fun, because I love dancing, and it was a fun dance! After, Caroline, Amanda, and I went out to buy drinks. When we came back, we went up to the school and tired on our Cuban dance costumes. The dresses were really cute, but I wasn't sure what shoes I should wear. The only heels I have that's good for the show is the ones I practice in. Dancing in high heels is a pain, I now know the happiness of wearing sneakers. We also went out for lunch until one, then from one to three, the Cuban dance people were practicing. Ms. Alison taught us the last two counts of eight for the dance, and it was really confusing. There are a lot of fancy arm movements, making everything harder. Even by practicing, my head was getting all dizzy.
At 5 pm, I had a dentists appointment. I got my braces tightened, and they switched the small rubber band to thicker ones. Right now, I could feel the rubber band pulling on my braces. It doesn't hurt, but it's a bit sore.

Today was a pretty good day, except the fact that I was really tired throughout the day. I could barely keep my eyes open during history class! I had to squint my eyes every ten seconds to keep my eyes open. Today during basketball practice, we had a light practice. The drills we did was mostly shooting the ball, and I found out that the way I shoot the ball is wrong. I have to completely shoot the ball and not just push the ball out, that way I can find my shooting point. During the last ten minutes we had a small game, whoever gets more points with six shots wins. The ending score was four against two, and my team won! The losing team had to run four suicides, and I was the one that kept track of the time. I keep practicing my shooting skills, and in the end, my arms were super tired. One good news is that I finally uploaded all the videos of the basketball game from yesterday. One bad thing is that I found out tomorrow I have to go to school at 9:30 in the morning for musical rehearsals, even though it's a PD day. Overall, I thought today was a good day! :]

I can't believe we lost our basketball game, again! I really thought we'd win today, because we spent so much time preparing for it. I thought everyone did really well today, except some parts. We still have to work on our lay ups, because a lot of time, people were afraid to just do a lay up. I thought I did OK, a bit bad. I missed 3 shots, and I'm agitated by how I didn't make those shots in. We lost by nine points, which isn't the worst.
Today in musical, we had to practice wearing our heels and dance. High heels are a pain in the butt, especially when dancing in them! It was fun though, and scary at the same time. At times I almost slipped, but I like how I got taller.
I'm super hyper today, until after the basketball game. Before the game, I was really hyper and happy. Ever since last night, I was chatting with a friend, I've been hyper all the way till the game. Sometimes I do believe that wishes do come true, as long as you believe hard enough!

There's a basketball game tomorrow and I'm really scared! Scared and nervous at the same time because we learned a new strategy today. I get the strategy, it's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well. Something really funny happened at the end of practice today. We were playing four on four, Esther, Teresa, Christine Hsu, and I were on one team and Ariel, Wanyi, Jingmin, and Lee was on the other team. We were playing to see who would win within two or three shots. We made the first shot, then Lee made the second. Everyone was super intense and scared because Lee said the losing team had to run 3 suicides. When Esther made in the third shot, I ran and jumped for joy! It's was really funny because we acted as if we won the championships. I hope that tomorrow, we'll have the same amount of energy and motivation to win the game! Let's go Typhoons! The boys are playing a game tomorrow as well.

NO!!!!!!!! I failed the biology test, and I'm not just saying that, I really do think I failed it. I didn't finish almost ten questions, and I most likely got a lot of multiple choices wrong. I'll be happy if I got at least fifty points on the test. I'm really mad about this, and from this point on, I've really given up on biology. I talked to my dad about it, and seriously, I hate biology because of him. Ever time I think of biology, I just want to break down and kill something. The statistics wasn't that bad though, there was only 8 questions. The first three questions were really troublesome because it was graphing questions. There was three graphing questions, and five multiple choices. I'm a bit scared, because if I got one questions wrong, my grades will drop. I think I did OK though, I'm hoping for the best.
After school, I ran to my lockers and put down my backpack, then ran home as fast as I could. I went back to go get my binder that's due for biology today, and ran back to school. After I turned in my binder, I got ready for basketball practice, which I was late for. Today's basketball practice was basically watching our game from last week. I like today from after lunch, before lunch it was all a bad day. I hate today, but yet, it was OK. I've given up on biology, I really don't care for it at all now.
On Saturday, I went to downtown with Jingmin, Candy, Amanda, Godwin, Gary, and Jimmy. It was really fun! We watched "I Am Number 4," which was an amazing movie. I loved it, I hope there's a sequel!
On Sunday, I went to my friends house to do homework. Instead, we watched a movie, chatting, and I did some of my homework. Some as in my statistics homework and nothing else. It was fun though, we watched "Bedtime Stories." The girl who's the hotel owner's daughter is the girl that's "number six" in the movie "I Am Number 4." I had a pretty fun weekend, hopefully next week will be good!

I can't believe this week, because there's so many tests! There's a biology and statistics test tomorrow, and I'm dying of stress right now. I'm more worried about biology rather than statistics. I first studied biology and made test notes, finished objectives, and then studied the Power Points. All of the studying of biology took me around two hours. I think what the biology teacher is making us do is wasting paper. The biology teacher is killing our planet, killing our trees!
I'm also studying for statistics, which I'm not as worried about. I read over chapter one and two, and read over my notes. I feel that I won't do that bad on the statistics test, hopefully. While I was studying for statistics, my friend helped me print out my biology notes. I didn't want him to print it out for me because there's so much notes that I feel like I'm wasting their paper. But, because he insisted, I caved in and he helped me print out my notes.
I'm really worried about tomorrow, I feel like I'm going to fail the test. That's nothing new though, I hate the teacher, he can't teach.

I am dying of sleepiness, and the lack of sleep I've been getting. I am so tired that during the last class today, I rest my head down and I started sleeping. I didn't mean to fall asleep, but my eyes just couldn't stay open and I fell asleep. For the whole day, my body has been feeling random pains in random parts of my body. At first, I felt a pain in the back of my back that affected my breathing. During basketball practice, I felt that pain in my back again. Because of that, I told Mr. Lee to let me off on the last rounds of stair climbing.
I've been feeling really off today, I don't know why. I can't seem to do anything right, and it makes me disappointed. Even though I'm super tired, I still managed to finish a lot of work. In class, I finished half of my homework for one class, and I put off the rest still weekends.
For some random reason, I've been looking forward the end of the day for this past week. Not like the end of the day as in right before I go to sleep, but the end as in when I'm leaving school and going back home.
I'm really mad and stressed these couple days because there's so many tests! There's an English test on poems tomorrow, a biology and statistics test on Friday, then a French test next week. It's not testing week or something, why are there so many tests?! Can't this school just let the students relax and not have to be stressed out 24/7 for just one week?!

It's the first day of March, I'm really excited for some reason! In eleven more days it's my best friend's birthday, except that she's in California. I'm so tired today, but I didn't sleeping in any class. I was working in all my classes, even in math and biology. In statistics we learned a new section, but for the rest of the 30 minutes we had time to review. Instead of reviewing, most people just sat around chatting. In musical production, Amanda and I were watching a Taiwanese drama. After school I finished my history homework right away. The cake from yesterday wasn't finished yet, so we ate most of it today, but there's a still a little piece left. I was really happy with this cake, because a lot of people ate it and said it was delicious.
There wasn't much to do today, but I still stayed after school till six at night. I got home really early today, like around 6:30 pm. I watched television till 7pm, then my mom took me out to dinner till 8 pm. The dinner wasn't good at all. The food wasn't good.
There was a lot of homework today, I finished homework around 11:45, almost midnight.
My eyes are really tired, but I finished all my homework and I'm going to go to sleep now. Good night.

It's Monday, the 28th of February and there's no leap year today. Today was a special day for me, one month since hoopla. I brought the cake I made on Saturday to school and gave it to my friend. I slept at two in the morning of Sunday to make the finishing touches on the cake. After lunch today, my stomach started hurting really bad. I stayed at the clinic room for the whole period. When it was time for expository writing, I went to class late. I wasn't sure whether to go to class or not, but I decided it was better for me to attend class. During that class, I couldn't help but to fall asleep.
After school, basketball class was kind of fun. This was the first hot practice in a long time. While practicing shooting and doing lay ups, I started to sweat. Worse than that was we played a full court game. The practice wasn't for long though, it was only for ten minutes. I had no idea what I was doing, I shot the basketball over the board! I don't know why, but Mr. Lee was complimenting me a lot today. He kept telling me "nice shot," and "ran well." It was nice to hear those things from him, but I felt like I didn't actually deserve those compliments.
After practice I ate the cake I made with my friend. It was good, but not the best. May be because I've eaten a lot of those cake so I'm use to the taste.
It was a pretty good Monday after all, even though class is always the same.
