a hodgepodge of ideas

I finished midterms today! Yippee! Ironically enough the two that I thought were going to be the easiest, Health and Math, were probably one of the toughest ones :I But that’s probably due to the fact that I didn’t really study….oopsies. .__. well shame on me, I’ve learned my lesson, yada yada yada…. nahhht. I STILL can’t believe that was the last Health final I’ll ever take in public school! How fast life goes by you when you don’t even have time to think.

Anyhoo, today I came home and watched Moulin Rouge! for the first time … I LOVED IT !!! It was kind of awkward and raunchy but it was amaaazing. they were so young ;__; hahahaha. ANYWAYS. but yeah that took up like two hours of my time. I can’t focus on my work, which is really bad consideirng I’m going back to the “real world” tomorrow, and I need to kick myself in the butt and get all this work done. blahhhhh. I hate it. three more weeks until vacation!! I am so pumped. Hahaha…the only thing that keeps me going is the knowledge that soon, I will have another break from school… what a sad, sad existence.

furthermore, I should really trim my nails… it’s bad for the violin to keep them so long but I like them this length ): also yesterday was FREE MAKEUP at Macy’s, Filene’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, etc. of the Lancome, Chanel, Givenchy, etc. brands because of price-fixing (or something) from ’94 to ’03… then I got my makeup done and the lady was so perplexed by my non-sankkupuhl eye. Hahahaha. but seriously this monolid is driving me crazy because I really want my half-a-lid back and it’s not coming back and it’s making me sad. ): POOP!! I don’t know how to fix it either. My mom suggested tape but I don’t want to, considering they USED to be 100% natural. >: (

my hair is getting kinda medium-ish. I’m realllly excited cause I can almost put all of it back in a ponytail if I try. ;P My hair grows pretty fast, I guess, ’cause it’s only been 5 months and it’s gotten almost to my shoulders (it was pretty short before). (: yippeee. Ahh, summer lovin’. WOW hahahah that was really random. my b.

PREZ OBAMA!!!! I watched the entire inauguration (which is why I didn’t get much done) I loved the little spat with Obama and the Chief Justice. MAD AWKWARD but really funny. Harharharhar ;P I know he’s  no Superman, and he can’t get everything done perfectly but darnit, it’s going to be beter than what we had before eh? Hehe.

ooops I should go make the worship sets now…PEACE!

SAT Class (revisited)

What a difference a year can make.

Now, instead of being tricked into joining an SAT class, I actually asked my parents if I could take the class. Me! I wasn’t pressured by the parental units at all. What drove me to take this class? A swift kick in the butt reminding me that I was a junior in high school, March was coming up, and I needed to take an SAT class before then…fast.

Unfortunately, the class that I took means that I have no more weekends to spend to myself. Which didn’t sound so bad in the beginning but after the first week I’m kind of blahh. Mainly because I can’t leave my homework ’till Sunday, because I have a class Sunday. Poo. But whatever…everything will take care of itself.

The class is a lot better than my other one. Smaller size (only 6 students!) and all the kids are there because they want to be motivated. If anything, me and G are the most obnoxious kids there. and that’s saying a lot. My practice SAT scores weren’t as hot as I would have liked, but I’m sure that with time and a little more practice I’ll do better. Ahhh I’m totally ready for it to be May 15, when all my stuff is D-O-N-E. Hehehehe.

What better way to spend a snow day than by…

Studying?

Yes, studying.

I woke up at 5:40 to the beautiful sound of the phone ringing. Nobody in their right mind would call me at 5:40 in the morning, unless it was our superintendant, calling us via automated message that “due to inclement weather, school will be canceled.” Oh, joyous day! My mom came in to state the obvious and I went back to bed, until 9:30, when I woke up and took a luxurious 20-minute shower (screw the environmentalist weirdos!) and got cracking on the books…

…NOT. I didn’t do any work until my mom came and metaphorically kicked me in the butt to start studying. Sigh…the dreary life of a high school junior. Instead of relaxing and enjoying the day doing nothing, I have to spend my time looking over biology, history, and english… the banes of my existance. Who thought that APs would be a good idea? This is ridiculous, I tell myself, as I crack open my huge biology textbook and start reading. “A catalyst is a chemical agent that changes the rate of reaction without being consumed by the reaction”. Easy enough. “…A system’s quantity of free energy is symbolized by the letter G. There are two components to G: the system’s total energy (symbolized by H) and its entropy (symbolized by S). Free energy is related to these factors in the following way:

G = H – TS“.

WHAT? None of this makes any sense. Let’s skip to something else…something understandable.

“Multicellular organs called sporangia (singular, sporangium) found on the sporophyte generation of a plant, produce the spores. Within a sporangium, spore mother cells undergo meiosis and generate the haploid spores” (Campbell, 2002)

…I hate my life ): I better need this all one day. I better be in a situation where the only thing standing between me and the job of my dreams is whether I can correctly deduce which plant has a sporangia along a line of plants.

…sigh…back to work I go!
