There was just a momentary ~2 second power outage. Both my antique computers (including the cardboard box) survived it, while this new computer rebooted a couple of times. They really don't make these things like they used to do.

I got some really ownage Windows looks...

I wish I didn't have to do so much summer reading! ahhhhhh

And I have to get out of this house sometime soon.

I still don't have a ping pong table... lol but I think I get it tomorrow. It can't fit into the van so we have to get someone to get it for us.

I got a ownage Linux looking thing for Windows, and I gave Dingting a screenshot and managed to fool him. He thought I was running a Windows emulator on Linux. Not bad.

I remembered today that I have to write Science Bowl questions... I finished my 40 astronomy ones today, but Craig decided to be a *WHORE* and not do the 40 math ones. So I have to either do them or spend a little money and get them done.

Chang and I were talking and he gave me a brilliant idea. I don't need the right half of my brain, do I? Music, art, ... useless... it's just sitting there eating up my oxygen and food! Besides, I'm sure someone wants half a brain to be donated (*cough* BLONDES *cough*). Right brain is probably religion too.

I think my mom's mad. I was supposed to be gone at 10PM...

Today is the first day that I have ever eaten so much watermelon that it has caused me to collapse on the floor trying not to barf it all up. I was on the ground for about 10 minutes. I don't know how that happened, but I have a feeling it has to do with not having enough real fruit at Palms. After eating 1/4 of the thing (which I usually can eat with no problem) my stomach started hurting but I kept eating (remember that this is the first taste of watermelon I've had since a long time ago). Then holy crap I had the most massive stomachache I've ever had.

Anyways... uh.. 1 day reunion? lol that was fun.

I'm going to finish putting up the GHP pictures that I have either today or tomorrow.

I get a ping pong table tomorrow =) yesssssss ownage!

I'm home. I'll miss everyone so much, even though I didn't cry when a lot of people did. I was pretty close a few times.

I have so much crap to unpack now, especially since all the stuff that's in boxes from moving here is still in boxes. And my pond is still not flowing, and the fish are still dying... though they're pretty good and none have died yet.

I HAD CHINESE FOOD TODAY!!! AND FRESH FRUIT!!! And the joys of DSL =)

Today is the last full day of GHP. We leave tomorrow morning. How sad... people that I've seen for 6 hours a day every day, for 6 weeks, I might not ever see again =( or at best, I won't see them much.

Today in math I got to stretch out on the floor and take a nap for about an hour. How comfortable. And we got our certificates of participation, and math t-shirts, and the math CD. I can't believe they made us pay $3 for it!! all it is is a jewel case and a CD-R. It costs about $0.00-$0.15, depending on how lazy you are when you decide to buy the materials.

On the other hand, I'm kinda wanting to go home, too. Except for going back to school, it'll be alright. I have to start my summer reading though... lol

Today I had a very interesting and very long talk with Tashin. On the walk back from where we were sitting, we definitely saw two gay guys making out.

Charles has been a bad boy today, in definitely more than one way. (Thankfully, this has nothing to do with the paragraph above.)

I emailed the AP people and I got a response starting with... "Thank you for contacting the TOEFL program." TOEFL = Test Of English as a Foreign Language. Rigged.

Great, I have to present the Daffy Duck thing at the math fair. This sucks.

Yesterday during math was interesting. I was asleep and I felt someone shaking my chair, so I was about to turn around and say "SCREW YOU!!" because I thought it was Leo or someone like that. Good thing I turned around before I said anything, because it was Dennis (the instructor).

Today was the 5K run. Holy crap I'm tired now. And, I'm so sucky that it took me 28:24.

Tomorrow I have to give a presentation (with Leo) about Daffy Duck to everyone who goes to the math fair (probably like 15 people). Today we had to give the presentation to a classroom full of math majors. I'm not sure if anyone is actually understanding anything coming out of our mouths...

I still haven't gotten my AP scores... weird.

GHP is almost over... =(

I'm so gonna have to massively cram summer reading when I get home.

I was gonna get a mohawk and a lot of people said they'd pay me, but since I still don't know how much money I'm getting, I'm not going to do it. I wanted the money though =(

I have to apologize to Leo for doing almost nothing for our math project. I usually do my share of work in a group/partner project. Certainly this is the first time I haven't done that for a math project.

I'm a little sleepy now.

Half of today was boring. I've found out that when I sleep very lightly (if I'm waiting for a train or something), then I don't dream and I'm half-conscious. When I'm sleeping kinda lightly, I don't dream but I don't really know what's going on. In moderate sleep (like during class) I dream. In really deep sleep I dream and sometimes I remember that I dreamed, but I can almost never remember the dream. Somehow during first period (an hour) today I slept so deep that I couldn't remember what I had dreamed about. Then after that I did more math, and tried to do some stuff with C++ that I had never seen before. It didn't work.

During minor in the afternoon we listened to a crappy guest speaker who bored all hell out of us. 1/3 of the science minors were asleep. Surprisingly, I stayed awake. The teachers kept turning and staring at me for some reason, but I wasn't making any noise or anything. Random.

The social studies skit thing was great for the first 2/3. The last part wasn't so great. Overall it was good, but they should have saved the best for last.

Oh, I almost forgot. Today as I was walking downstairs in the morning, CiCi's RA caught me and told it it was 7:46 and it was late (we're supposed to be out by 7:45). So she asked for my name and RA's name. I'm screwed.

Ping pong owns. I think I can beat Gene now =) but these Indian guys here are crazy. My goal for the next two weeks is to beat them... which isn't going to happen, of course.

I need my flyswatter!!!

There's not much of GHP left... how sad. I'm going to miss these people.

And math sucks. What have I done in my project? Leo and I have represented Donald Duck as a 16x16 matrix with 16 0's down the main diagonal and more 1's and 0's scattered throughout. It's quite headache-y.

My RA told the hall that the fire drill is tonight, so I'm trying staying up instead of being woken up later by the alarm. I can't seem to be able to keep myself up though, so I'm sleeping in 10 minutes. I was told it would be at 1 or 2 though, so if I sleep now I'll probably be woken up in another 10 minutes and I'll be pissed. But I'm so sleepy, I can't stay up!

Charles bought a condom. McLeod kept playing with it on her fingers. How entertaining. Truth or dare = sucks. Next time they decide to do that, I'm playing ping pong.

I'm back from my long weekend. I didn't do much while at home, except I got pretty scared being alone in a house that big. All sorts of strange noises and such...

My fish pond is dead! The water won't run! The fish aren't dead yet, but it's getting pretty nasty-looking. And after I mowed the lawn, I wasted an hour trying to get the grass blower to run. The dumb thing (or maybe it's me that's dumb) wouldn't start. I don't think I was doing anything wrong either. So I had to use a broom in a neighborhood where everyone is so rich that they probably don't know what a broom is.

I put my server back in my house, so it's going to be up from now on.

I got some ramen and chopsticks! And some other good stuff =)

I missed the past two problem of the days and this one is deadly... I think it's time to stop wasting my time.

6:10PM

I might be going home tomorrow, but I'm not sure. If Charles's mom can manage to fax in the form quickly enough...

I have to find a Chinese flag for my blanket. My roommate has one of an American flag. lol

Time to sleep...

Awww not fair. My sister gets to see han di and I don't. My sister asked her if she'd seen me before (my sister has good memory I guess), and then han di asks her if she misses me... and my sister's like... "only a little bit." She's so dead when she gets home!!

Gosh darn it (lol), Justin wouldn't stop looking at Steven with this smirk on his face during dinner and then Steven broke and burst into laughter and our little joke didn't work. But Michele (crap did I spell that right?) got really pissed anyways.

I have to go get my laundry now...
