This is more of a personal post to inspire me, but if you want to look/add insight, be my guest.

( Books I want to read ) To be updated when necessary.

My Internet connection on my computer comes on and off randomly, so I'm back to my laptop. So, what's happened today? I think I'm going to enjoy Driver's Ed; I just hope everyone makes interesting presentations. I have probably one of the biggest presentations (Distractions & Driving), but at least it's several weeks after AP tests. I like Ms Stetson. We edited our HUM research paper drafts in English. I don't think I will ever use Mill again after reading Francis's paper. A bunch of us (Vinitra, Peter, Allison, Sophia, Phu, etc.) stayed during lunch to review for the test. It was most definitely helpful. I hope think I did well on the test.

MUN election results. Congrats to Marina, Aras, and Blake for succeeding onto the next election for Arbitrator. Congrats to Lauren, Charlie, and Nabeem for Senator. I'd be lying if I said I weren't upset. At first, I didn't react mainly because I was sitting in the front row. After Nabeem hugged me, I began to feel bad. After Blake hugged me, I almost cried (as in I had tears in my eyes). But honestly, I didn't must nearly as much effort into campaigning as I should have. So I guess I didn't deserve it. Still, it's disappointing. What my chances of becoming SG come senior year are now, I have no idea. Probably none. I can't even imagine what I'd like to be this year. Honestly, I'm not very artistic (I still have no idea why I was assigned Historian) nor creative. I'd like to be Treasurer, but I'm sure there's a zillion more qualified people who want to be as well. *sigh* I don't know. It feels like everything I've done this year has been a huge waste, especially if I don't do well on the AP exams and my SATIIs. I mean, seriously. For all the late nights (and by late, I mean staying up till 0200 as a norm), the lowest grades I've ever had on report cards, etc. you'd THINK you'd get something out of it. I knew the reason why I wasn't doing well in my academic classes was because I had been focusing too much on my extracirriculars. And look where that's gotten me. Bad grades and no Senator position.

What a depressing entry. At least... I don't know. At least I did well on my history test?

Doink! I found this a long~ time ago, but I still think it's sweet. =) By the time I got to the end, yeah, I was definitely in tears. Lulu = sentimental sap. ^^;; Now you know how to get me everytime... be ultra!sweet. Ehehe. =P Romantic clichés that never happen = ♥ * 10^23

After TechMUN, I knew that most of my activities were finished (excluding MUN elections). I figured it would be a huge relief. Afterall, I am now nearly failing all of my classes because I haven't had more than five free weekends since maybe October. Lovely thought, isn't it? At least I've learned my lessons as far as time management and suicidal scheduling goes. Anyway, now that it's all done and over, I don't have anything to do. It almost feels discomforting. Last JLC (I didn't even remember it was a JLC), I honestly had nothing to do. And this weekend, I haven't really had any homework other than our second draft of our HUM semester paper.

Well, thankfully, everything ended right before spring vacation, leaving me a huge amount of time to prepare for my AP exams, bring up my grades, etc. And more time is always good. I've also been sleeping more. =)

List of things to do today:

o research Mao + workers
o decide 3rd support
o revise HUM paper -- Soo's edits, write backbone of 3rd support, maybe add more to 1st/2nd
o calc homework assignments...
o finish half of calc review packet
o study vectors, parametrics, polar for calc test
o study all of chem (except hybridization)
o bio chapter (ch45)

OMG, now my DREAMS have been corrupted. I was reading over the dreams I had recorded during winter vaca and all of the previous ones, and they were the average dreams. I guess. My average dreams, in any case. Random teacher appearances, me being a book character, Eric (you appear so often), movie characters, etc. Well. Last night.

So I was in some Pokémon world or something. (This isn't the weird part yet.) I remember travelling around the grassy area outside of Viridian City or wherever Brock is. Anyway. My memory's failing me, but I can describe it. The city's right above, and you have to jump over ledges, and you land in grassy lands. Anyway, so I was doing that, and I happened to run into a big, white blobby thing, so I went to speak to it. It gave me a Zapdos and a Porygon (?), and considering I had just started my journey, I was happy to get those Pokemons. But he said that (this is the bad part) they were missing their procambium (!!!) and that I had to go to this hospital next to a cave to go recover them.

I went to the hospital thing, but it turns out it really wasn't a hospital and that it was run by these crazy ladies who wanted to cook random Pokemon. A lot of trainers were outside, and we were all upset. So we managed to persuade the crazy hospital owners to not cook them. Sort of. They decided that we could choose how long we wanted to cook them. >_> Ewww. Well, it was pretty gruesome.

Then it flashed to another part. I was back in the real world. My family was at this hotel with Amanda's family or whatever. We were on the 4th floor, and they were on the 5th. Uhhh... there was some incident with mice that I don't want to write about here, 'cause it'd be too long. Anyway, on the last day at our hotel I was heading up to join Amanda in her room. I passed by Eric in the halls (See? Always there). She had a coral-colored room. When we left, we both had fevers, but we wanted to go to the beach.

The end. OK, so maybe the Pokemon part was weird too. But I did have a dream I was in the Mario land thing, and considering I've never played THAT game, whereas I've played Pokemon, I guess that's stranger. And I also had this other AMAZING (but strange) dream that I was entering a movie that was in a movie that doesn't exist. oO But seriously. How did the procambium part come in, and isn't that only part of plants? X_X Sigh.

So I updated my iPod. Francis's trance songs would be so much fun to skate to. Lalala.

My mom brilliantly decided to cancel my cable service, since we rarely watch TV. For some reason, that meant taking away all of my channels. I haven't been able to see the Olympics at all (don't worry, it's been recorded) until last night, when I forced my mom to take me to someone else's house to watch the ladies' figure skating.

Wow. Okay. Ice skating is and will still be my favorite sport, but it's losing its sparkle thanks to that new system. Now all that's important is throwing in as many complicated jump combinations as possible. Sure, artistry still counts for something, but even as the commentator said when someone did a jump-split, some little things like those that don't rack up points are rarely performed anymore. And there's requirements for each program too. It just takes out the artistic freedom, and after a while, the programs all appear to be the same. They were just all pretty mediocre. I didn't see the skating that I knew, watched, skated. It was all really disappointing.

Still, it's extremely painful to think that I could've been there had I continued. I still remember my coach trying to teach me random things during my private lessons. Try doing a camel spin. Yes, it's just like a normal spin except with a spiral. No, you're not spinning fast enough. Let go. Okay, try doing lay-back spin. No! Bend back more! Don't be afraid of falling -- you won't! Let's try the lutz. Yes, it's just like a waltz jump. Throw yourself up into the air more; pull in more. You're not using the toe-pick!

All in TWO years.

Anyway, so now I hear these songs every now and then, and before I can register the artist, title, or even genre, I already envision a skating program. Greatest regret? Yeah.

Sarah, could you tell me stuff (e-mail'd be nice -- skyblazer@gmail.com) about University of Chicago? Like programs they offer, financial aid, learning environment, etc. Thanks. ♥

Just 'cause I'm cool, here's something from Franny:

LYRICS aggregation

7+ words from each song. Try to identify them! Go (sequentially) through a shuffled playlist and try to make sense, skipping lyricless songs and liberally placing punctuation. Yay for timesucks.

I said this before, no matter how hard I tried, I never thought I'd die alone. Never thought I'd have this feeling, never thought I'd get this far. Every time I'm falling down, all alone, I fall to pieces. I can't live with or without you. It's to dying in another's arms, why I had to try it.

And there he reads a letter beneath the lion's gaze. Whoa, I'm tired of looking at you. That was then, this is now, love is all you need. Stay quiet, stay near, stay close, they can't hear. Is she troubled like I'm troubled? Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in. But what am I to do without you, without you, without you? I'll die if I don't get a chance to make this just right.

If you could see what's come over me, then you would know. Oh, take me back to the start. Would it be enough to live on if my love could keep you alive? You could take it for a ride, you might need it to outrun what's on your mind. You left me with goodbye and open arms. Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing? Oh, how I wish I were the treasure that you were looking for. Could this be real, 'cause I can't sleep, I can't hold still. This time I won't let you bring me down, won't let you shut me up. You've got a wicked style, I like the way that you are, I am your biggest fan. Paint yourself a picture, waste another picture.

I kind of liked it your way, how you shyly placed your eyes on me. The sun is getting high, we're moving on. Is this more than you bargained for? And you are by my side, we're talking about our lives; we've known each other forever. Gotta live it one time before it's over -- we will make history tonight. Give me one more chance to make things last. Crimson and clover, over, and over, crimson and clover, over, and over. I will sail through the eye of the storm just to die in your arms.
