The End is Near

Well, the year is almost coming to an end.
I always feel like time just goes too fast, but then again, I'm a person that worries about time too much.

Now that I got accepted into NCSU, I've decided to not waste time by applying to other schools. I was thinking applying to a "career-specific" school like Art Institute (to do web design) but then I realized, "What if I don't do as well as I hope to?"

I'd be stuck and wouldn't be able to switch over to something else.

So, I decided to stick with State since there's a broad array of stuff I could do.
Then there's the "almost everyone at LHS is applying to State" factor, and I wouldn't mind seeing familiar faces at college. :D

I'm glad this year's Winter Break has actually been a break. Previous years I had to do lame projects for classes, which was not fun.

I'm chilling-out as much as I can. Can't wait for exams to be over and next semester to start. I'm still undecided if I should dump AP Calculus for next semester or just endure the torture. I'm still unsure of what we've "learned" with him, and I'll probably have to retake it in college.

I could also take a CAD class online. It's mostly based on product design, so that would be pretty sweet.



The Wii officially pwnz. A few of my cousins came over along with my aunt and uncle yesterday, and they were all glued to the screened as we played and traded spots for a controller (we only have two). Even though the graphics are not the greatest thing in the world, Nintendo did a really great job with bundling so many games on one disk and then packaging it with the console. They played baseball and tennis so many times, I kicked butt at bowling so they stayed away from that game.

They even begged to stay the night just so they could play. I had the Wii at my mom's store, so when we closed I packed it up and made them connect it in my room at the house. I think they finally stopped playing around 1 am, and when I woke up at 7, they were already up playing!

I think it was worth camping 4 hours in 30 degree weather for a chunk of hardware. Really cool how it can bring fun and enjoyment to a bunch of little kids (and adults too).

Score!

Haha, so we go to Staples today to get some stuff. I was going to look for a DVD-Rom because the one I used for my new PC was dying on me. After being disappointed at the over inflated prices for the drives ($40 for a dvd-rom, when you can get one for half the price online and of better quality) I walked over to my mom and she asked me if we should go to the back to look at the office chairs. We needed at least one for the store. We walked down the line of chairs ranging from $130 to $80 and made up our minds that we weren't going to buy any.

Well, we were about to go to the farthest aisle of the store when we see a sign in the furthest corner of the store from the front door. It said "Clearance: High Back Manager's Chair. Black. $29.99." Score!

We bought 3. ^_^

2 are for the store, 1 for the house. We're totally going back tomorrow to see if they have anymore left. Next one is going in my room for my new computer I just finished building this week. Pics of my new rig later.

Hrrmm..

So, the year's almost over.
I'm ready.

I sat through school today waiting anxiously for the time to go by. We were out by now last year; stupid legislation people.

Recent things:

- I got a Razr.

It's pretty sweet. I like the thinness. I kept leaving it everywhere whenever I wore shorts because I didn't have a clip, but I finally bought one at Best Buy yesterday for $10.

- I got my graduation ring.

And I likey. It's shiny. :D

- I switched from AP Bio to AP Physics for next year. I think if my major is going to be Computer Science, I need to be taking more math oriented things.

- SAT this saturday.

I guess the best way to look at is like this: Bring it on.

I really need to do better this time. My last score was mediocre. I'm studying for it this time, and I'm pumped.

- I played Katamari.

The controls are simple, but I still don't get them. What's wrong with me?

- 8 days left.

World Cup 2006. I'm going for Mexico. If we lose, go USA. I guess. If all else fails: Joga Bonito, Brasil!

Oh and we also get out of school on the first day of the World Cup. Perfect.

- Ping Pong.

After my butt got kicked by Claudia, the German, I want to learn how to play more.

I posted on craigslist, and got an offer for a $50 ping pong table. Hopefully, I'll go and pick it up on Saturday after I'm done with my "thank-god-I-got-that-SAT-over" nap.

I don't even know how I'm going to do on exams. English III is going to be a blinder unless she tells us what it's going to be like. After walking in this morning and finding her laughing hysterically by herself at her desk, I don't know what to expect.

Chemisty is going to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Trust me. 75% of the time I don't know what's going on. I feel like I'm getting the hang of it, and then she throws in another rule or technique.

I don't even know why we have to take a US History exam. We all took the AP exam, can't we be rewarded for trying?

I think I'll do fine with Trig, if I study.

Oh and if no one else has noticed,

It's HOT.

Wooo... orange.

Long time no blog.

We played Southern Vance Tuesday and Wednesday. Totally kicked their ass.
Not so much fun playing in the rain Wednesday. Especially since their number 16 kept talking trash to my and trying to tackle the mess out of me.

I was taking the ball down the wing, passing their sorry excuse of a defense when the next thing I know I'm on the ground inside the penalty box. Refs blows the whistle and I'm in pain. Yep, I lied there thinking whether I should stay and start crying or get up and shake it off. I decided I didn't want to look like a wuss in front of these losers and got up, teary-eyed.

Number 16, oh how I wanted to smack her. She flew right at my knee. Then tries to make everything better by a simple "Sorry. " No, not with me. I don't take sorries when you've been talking trash.

I have a little bump above my knee, and it hurts. X(
Emily wanted me to take the PK. I declined. I felt I was going to explode with anger.

Whatever, we won. 6-0 Wednesday, 7-0 Tuesday.
Go Warriors.

I painted my room orange during spring break. Looks pretty sweet.
I'll take a picture sooner or later.

I GOT IT!

I got it last Wednesday.

Yeah, nuff said.
