RIP Veronica Mars

You will be truly missed. The worst part is the writers ended on a bad note because they didn't know the show was being pulled. Que lastima.

We are watching the Godfather part 1 in AP US History. Its pretty good. I see why people like it. I'm halfway done. I just wish there more action in addition to all that dialogue.

I'm getting more and more nervous for next year. I'm taking 7 APs (4 are only semesters) and water polo. Its scary. I want to do it because I love the challenge, knowledge and enthrallment of APs. But I'm still very scared.

EDIT: (5/31) You know what scares me even more than next year: college. College scares the crap out of me. I am so nervous for that. To be one of 500 in a class. To not have a professor know my name. To not be comfortable in my knowledge of the subject. I know they say APs are supposed to be like a college class, but I don't believe that at all. It scares me to be on my on. It scares me to leave my house. I'm one of the few freaks that loved high school and loves living at home. I don't want to "get out." Its really selfish of me, but I'm nervous and don't want to be uncomfortable. Hopefully these APs get me out of a year of college so I can avoid more Gen. Ed. and get to Grad school faster.

Post-Birthday Wrap-up

Yesterday was my brithday, and 93.75% of it was amazingly sweet.

It was academic awards assembly, which just means one more assembly where honors kids get awards. Ryan Gutierrez and I were the big winners with 8 awards each. My sweetest two where 100 dollars for having 4.0 or above, and a inscribed book by a Nobel Prize winner for my excellence in Science. George Beadle: An Uncommon Farmer sign by Pamela Bjorkman. It was given to me by CalTech and now they want me to go to their school.

Throughout the day, I got presents from family and friends. It was cool. I got funny cards, candy, brownines, and cookies. Little Miss Sunshine was hilarious. Super Mario Strikers is totally fun. I got Paper Mario, but I haven't checked it out. I got really nice clothes and some cash to round it out. Plus my mom said she would order HP7.

After that I went to the school play. It was Alaina Henderson's night, and she did great. It was pretty funny even if the ending sucked horribly. I'm going again tonight to see Ryan. Hope its just as good.

All and all it was a very good day.

VICTORY!!!!

APS ARE DONE!!!!! Its a pretty great feeling. I feel pretty confident about a 5 in US History, and maybe a 4 (hopefully) in Bio and English. School is pretty much a joke for here on. Maybe a math test here or there.
Late May/June is my favorite time of year. Espcially since my birthday is May 22.

My newfound freedom has gone into lots of reading. I finished The Stranger by Cah-mooooo (Camus) which was pretty good. A very interesting look into a crazy pyscho's head. I loved the ending. The Screwtae Letters is almost done as well, and I think Lewis did a great job in that book. The insight and perspective gained from that book and invaluable.

Catcher in the Rye is up next, for English. This is one of the few years that I have liked pretty much every book. Huck Finn aside, I liked all of them; The Great Gatsby, The Scarlet Letter, The Crucible, East of Eden and The Fountainhead. And I know from reading it already that TCITR is good too.

Well, from the looks of this update, Denise is going to be the only one interested.

Mine is a busy body

Friday May 11th- AP US History

Monday May 14th - AP Biology

I figured that I should justify why I'm going to be a little distant for the nxt couple days.

Anybody have any good stories from taking any of these tests?

For the first time in the history of Warren...

Theboys swim team are league champs. WOOO-FREAKIN-HOO!!!!

It has been a dark and desolate time in boys aquatics, but finally, a hero's light stabs through the darkness and oppression.

OK but seriously, it is a momumentous occasion. Our guys all did really great. I'm proud of everybody. We finally did it.

Let the celebration commence!!!!

Sorry about the long time between blogs. I got food poisoning on Tuesday. It sucked. I lost ten pounds. The worst part was the I missed league prelims. And because I missed prelims to being sick, I couldn't make finals so today when we won league, I only swam relays no individuals.

A really disappointing end to a fantastic year.
