Today was Halloween, obviously. At school, none of the girls' costumes were scary. Instead, a third of them decided to dress up like complete slutcans. Their slut density ρs is so incredible that when I walked around in the hallways, I saw a bunch of black holes of whoredom walking around. I mean, is it really necessary to pretend to be scary by wearing skirts that are so short that they don't go down as far as the bottom of my tshirts?
Idiots keep thinking I'm a freshman. A few weeks ago, this moron (a sophomore I think) cuts in front of me in the lunch line, so I'm like... "get in line." And he's like, what are you, a freshman? lol it took me my student ID card to shut him up. Then today on the bus I'm sitting peacefully (wow that's a new occurrence) and this guy taps me and says, hey are you a freshman? Ahhhhhh I want to kill these people. Do freshmen have bookbags twice the size of themselves? NO! Although I am the size of a freshman. Can't deny that.
I failed my math quiz. Dang... I did really bad. I forgot to memorize the formulas, and I had to derive all the derivatives of the inverse trig functions. I hadn't looked at the examples in the book that did that, so I didn't know where to start on that, either. Then I missed a bunch of stupid mistakes. I think my grade on that will be somewhere near the pass/fail mark.
I wish I could go out today. Stupid SAT II tomorrow. I think it's a plot by College Board to have foreign kids not be able to go out for Halloween because the language tests are only offered tomorrow!
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together.
And as our lives change, come whatever,
We will still be friends forever.
Yes, I'm a dork.

Just when I thought spams couldn't get any funnier, I get this one with a title called "hydrolysis." Take a guess. What's it about? Actually.. Viagra. What is this? Is it going to hydrolyze my penis or something?
I went to the Crucible and got back a little while ago. I kinda left 30 minutes early. Oh well. I fell asleep anyways.
I'm sad that I almost surely won't be in multivariable next semester. It's such a fun schedule (minus Bryan of course). Next year will be ownage if I can just learn half of it this year... lol
I just can't wait to get my lit essays back. Just can't wait to see how many random points I get counted off for.

Ownageness. Remember how a conic is made from the intersection of a plane and 1 or 2 cones? I finally figured out how to draw these things. This shows the intersection between a plane and one cone (it doesn't hit the other cone, which would be right-side up tip to tip with the upside-down one shown), which is of course a parabola.
Do not read the following: The pair of cones is defined by the equation x2 + y2 - z2 = 0. The plane is z = y + 1. The intersection is defined by the parametric vector (huh) equation r(t) = <t, (t2-1)/2, (t2+1)/2>. (yes, this is #27 or 29 or something on the homework last night) It works just like any old regular parametric, though. I can't figure out how to make that parametric into a normal z(x,y) function. I keep ending up with z = x2 - y, which is a parabolic plane thingy (like a piece of paper bent in the middle). I can't seem to be able to draw a 2D line in 3D space with it.
I think I will be able to sleep before 12 today =) I finished my chem lab, need to read lit, and also need to do AP US. I think I will get up at 5:30 and read lit, and do US right now.
I beat Dragos on like the second thing ever! But that's in chem, and I can't beat him in that class, and I'm still going to owe Mary a dinner.

Since I've promised to myself that I would try to be as nice as possible (aka be Davita), I'm determined to not rant about really annoying things. Which I was just about to do.
However, here's from Ronjon's Xanga:
NYC LuVa4EvA: we're not friends anymore..
NYC LuVa4EvA: okkay
NYC LuVa4EvA: happy now!?
What a "friend"ship.
Back to Bryan packet. Don't you love how every time I write about going back to homework, it's always about that baby-eating Devil?
Wouldn't it be funny if she knew about this site?
Oh yes, on the Vanderbilt trip, within the span of 5 minutes, Julie Ann asked me if I am Korean, and then confused me with the person I hate with a fiery passion (not Ms. Bryan, surprisingly... he's not a teacher). Of course she didn't mean the offend me (lol not that being asked if I'm Korean really offends me, it's just really funny because it's only the second time ever), but it's still really funny.
10:32PM
Whoa, I just wasted some time playing with Maple. sin(x) + sin(y) = 0 gives a funny graph. It looks like a grid, kinda like graph paper turned diagonally. sin(x) + sin(y) + sin(z) = 0 is even weirder. It's like a honeycomb.
2:49AM
Ok, my whore: "so don't eat mai babies (they're david's) hahahaha. and i'm sure DAVID'S babies don't taste good." 1. Where did the "mai" come from? 2. Why don't mai babies taste good? Is that an insult? HUH!??
Today was a GAME competition (math). It went okay. I got raped by Dragos again. I don't think I will ever be able to beat him on anything... lol but I will keep trying! I got a few useless ribbons. These competitions mean squat. Probably more interesting than the exams was the fact that I saw Marie there. She dominated the freshman test (oh wait, I forgot about the 8 Walton freshmen who destroyed it too). They ran out of perfect ribbons because it was so easy. On the other hand, no one got perfect on the senior test and even Mr. God only got 4/5.
After eating two slices of pizza, there was none left. I had to go to Westminster and beg. It was nice of them to give us food.

I got back from the Vanderbilt trip yesterday. I just got out of bed. That was a pretty good night's sleep.
We placed second, obviously beaten by Dorman. They did no gay tricks this time. It was nice. But we still got raped pretty badly. Dragos needs to talk up.. lol I can't hear him half the time. Ms. Martin said that we work together really well. That's not really surprising. Jason made some deadly guesses. I think the only almost completely random guess that was shot out during a bonus was the one about some ship... blah blah useless info blah blah named after a city in Sweden... Stockholm! lol I guess Sweden doesn't really have more cities than that anyways...
The car trip there wasn't that great. The trip back, we had massive arguments. Should poor people remain poor? Should they get welfare? That turned into a marijuana legalization argument. Then we had a few others that didn't last as long and weren't so heated. Dragos said 362 words (I counted) during those 2 hours. Then he used 288 words to explain why gay people do not de-evolve (bad wording... I mean like why they do not un-natural selection themselves off of the planet) themselves. So that's a total of 650 words! Ok, I didn't actually count. And also on the car trip both ways, a small problem existed... but I won't say any more about it to avoid offending anyone. Gene knows.
Apparently Drew and Pat told Allon a few bad things about Eva and me. Now I have to explain to her before it gets to her... because if I fail, I will walk into school one day and get a really big slap on the face (which, of course, would be forwarded to Drew and Pat shortly).

Why am I off the ARML mailing list? Most of the other people are still on it... oh wait.. Joe Kachinske
is on it, so I guess that means they didn't update. But it does say updated October 20, 2003 (which was 3 days ago,
right?).
I can't believe I'm still up.

Walton won the Gordon College thing. We had several people finish first place in their subject areas, and Jason won the College Bowl at the end by a large margin. $100 to a lot of people. Our school placed first overall (Mr. Nixon said that's why we go... lol). While I was there, I managed to read 3 more pages in the Bible, bringing me to page 24 or something.
I learned a little more Photoshop today. There was a purple circle and a X inside it for no reason on that bill when I scanned it, but after like an hour I managed to get it to go away. That brings my experience with Photoshop to... like 5 hours and only 3 things done. How inefficient. I should have just used traditional scissors and did non-electronic cut-and-paste and then rescan... lol
I'm going to have fun now reading for AP US =) I haven't started yet. I heard it's the longest chapter ever created.
4:46PM

I don't think Dragos likes me very much.
I am dying.
The above two statements have not been proven to be related. (They fail the α = 0.05 significance test)

*sigh* I just thought of good GHP times... when Charles and I were in forensics. He was my lab partner during this one lame lab. "Hey Charles, hand me the copper.. I mean... unknown C..." and then a minute later "Where is the lead? Or... unknown A.. or was it B?" hahaha that was so useless... we were supposed to identify 4 unknown metals (copper, lead, iron, and I think tin was the last one). We guessed them right before doing any kind of lame analysis on it. Copper is obvious because it's bright orange or whatever color you wanna call it (I call it copper-colored.. so... hey I wonder what that copper-colored unknown metal is?). Lead is, too (it's really soft). Iron was rusted.... and tin or whatever it was just looks like it.
Back to crappy chem lab. I don't get this.
10:11PM
"Today was very interesting," says Charles. We played ping pong with a broken ball... that's always interesting. Then, mole day project. We're making t-shirts. One of the pictures on it is a photoshopped test tube with a mole inside, a flame rising up, and then a big mushroom cloud looking flame. We're ironing it on my washing machine (it says to use something hard and not an ironing board) so... the heat created a dent in the middle of the washing machine top... lol
Science club shirts - the best idea so far is Dutter with Einstein hair and Dutterisms on the back.
We're supposed to be studying C++ for Thursday... that is not working. No time after doing those shirts. I'll probably post pics of the shirts later.
PSAT sucked. I missed a bunch. I think I did worse this year than last year. On the writing skills part, my teacher called time at 20 minutes and scared the crap out of me. I thought I got retarded or something because I wasn't near done yet.
Now it's late, Charles just left, the shirts are done, and it's time to get some work done.
8:38PM
Monday, October 20, 2003
Dope. As expected, after I took a practice PSAT I got less on the verbal section than I did last year... ahhhhhhhhhhhh I'm gonna kill myself after I get my scores for tomorrow.
8:34PM
PSAT tomorrow!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This site doesn't seem to load well on any computer except my own. It seems that part of the problem is caused by the excessive number of frames... but I need a contents, because I'm too lazy to include that on the left of every single page, and I need a main page, obviously, and then those two inline frames. The vote, I guess I could do without... but then it wouldn't be as interesting =( and same with the chatterbox. I'll think of something when I wake up.
It's time to sleep.

Random thought of the day (no idea why I thought of this):
In 6th grade, Ms. Gordon (not the 8th grade Georgia History one - she's for tomorrow), who taught English, wrote me
a citation for talking or something stupid like that. When she was out of the room during class change, Mary was behind
her desk for some reason so I told her to get my citation and hand it to me. Once I got my hands on it, it became about
80 pieces of confetti. I burned it when I got home. It took forever to burn... I think it was pretty cold outside. I
still remember those little green pieces of paper turning black... ahhhhh the pleasure. But then when it came time to
count citations at the end of the week or month or whatever, I got an extra one out of nowhere (on top of the one I
burned). So that plan backfired.
10:32PM
Haha last night was funny. Around 7 or 8, when my grandpa and I were in this room, I went to sleep on the couch about 10 feet behind and to the right of my chair that I'm in right now. I just lied down and slept without covering myself with anything. It's about 7 feet directly behind my mom's chair (which is at her computer desk). Around 9:30, I heard them talking (they were both in the room and within 10 feet of me). Where is dong dong? They looked all over the house, and my mom was like, are his shoes here? Yeah. So where could he be? haha so she went to look for me too. After like 10 minutes, they came back downstairs and my grandpa almost killed himself after he saw me half-asleep on that sofa. They were like, we were so scared because we couldn't find you! hahaa
I am filled with dog slobber again from SAT class. Her dogs are so ownage. I may have given them pneumonia though. (Can a dog get people pneumonia?)
I've been memorizing SAT words all weekend. It's been sucking. Gee, I can't wait to screw up the PSAT and get a 77 in math on Tuesday...
I got this neato text editing program (EditPlus 2). It does just about everything you can get in a text editor. It does sorta crappy HTML editing, too.
No, I haven't done the chem lab. It's not due tomorrow.
Back to SAT words.

Chinese SAT II class today was useless. I went online earlier to look at actual test questions from the College Board, and they totally are not like what we've been doing in that lame class. When we were going over the answers today, the lady gave out an answer that no one agreed with. Then she looked at it and said, ok you guys are right. So I asked her, "do you have the correct answers?" And she said yes. Then it happened again: I asked why isn't the answer C, and she's like, oh it is. So I asked again whether she had correct answers, and she said that they were answers from the book. I totally do not believe that. The Chinese being tested was elementary Chinese. Anyone writing a book about it could not possibly have gotten it wrong. It's like writing a English sentence such this. It's just not possible. So basically, she had neither seen the test nor the answers before coming to class. Useless! One of the "explanations" she gave for a problem was that you must answer the questions and not think about it. Like, answer it directly from the paragraph given. Ok, fine. So then on the next page, I asked why is the answer D? Where in the passage does it say that? She said the passage doesn't say it. You have to infer. So I was like, "So on some of them you have to infer but on others if you infer you get it wrong?" She said yes. Interesting. So that's my ranting. Don't go learn SAT II Chinese at Perimeter Church with Chinese people.
I mowed the lawn today.
My stupid TI Graph Link won't link. Stupid thing! I'm not sure if its the software, my computer, the link, or the TI-89 that won't work. But either way, it's gay. That rhymes.
7:04PM
Yesterday Charles, Steven, Michelle, and I went to Christine's (since I know her so well... lol) house and sat around for a while. Her little cousin is way too big of a flirt. It was fun, but there isn't much worth mentioning, except maybe that I was forced to have pictures taken of me... and I look retarded (oh wait, that was redundant).
Before that, we went to see Texas Chainsaw Massacre but they wouldn't let us in, which wasn't very surprising at all. So we bought tickets for School of Rock and tried to walk into Chainsaw thing... and the guys in front of the door were like, "Are you going here? May I see your tickets and ID's, please?" So Steven starts being stupid and grabs for his butt/wallet, and Charles is like, no, we're looking for School of Rock. Not bad. lol
I'm going to have today memorizing about 800 (yeah... lol) SAT words. I don't know how many of those I will actually remember past today, though. But that stupid test is on Tuesday!! AHH it's like cramming for an AP US test except this one is like far deadlier!
Ronjon got banned from the Vanderbilt trip. Apparently he asked Ms. Martin if they could go out to lunch during WAC, and she said no, but then he asked Mr. E, who said yes. So they went, and held up the tournament. They're really mad, and he's the only one banned. Rigged. I'll have to talk to them about that.

gUrLygUrLaThEaRt: btw
gUrLygUrLaThEaRt: congrats on hiQ
Well, she's being nice, but I'm not on it!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
10:08PM
Muahahhahaha - from CiCi's AIM profile:
Davidism (day-vid-ism) n. the sole worshiping of David Zhang because he is the king of all kings.
*i'm Davidic lol~ :-D wow
I got my first A ever on a AP Euro test (actually I may have gotten an A on the first one... but I can't remember). I also got like a 75 or 76 on the AP Language essay on Invisible Man. I don't get it. My essay did everything there was to do and did it well, except relating it to the rest of the story. Why does that get such a low grade...
Apparently the James Island trip has been canceled. Either way, I wasn't going to go. Too much stuff to do this weekend.
Ms. Bryan is the devil.
9:01PM
Tuesday, October 13, 2003
Today was a good day. This is very unusual, and is made even weirder by the fact that CiCi thinks so too.
This guy from some news thing came into the multivariable class today and filmed them. I should have pretended to be part of that class... lol
I thought that I was actually going to have a free weekend this weekend... until I remembered James Island. [Assuming I'm invited,] we're leaving Friday morning and getting back probably on like Sunday. I heard we're going to Fort Sumter (I think that was about this trip..).
Ahhhh people stop asking me about High Q! I failed!
Apparently some people think I hate Dragos. No! I do not hate/dislike Dragos at all! I like him. He's really nice and [too] smart.
6:12PM
Monday, October 12, 2003
So once again, I did something really dumb. Sorry, Eva.
The math tournament today wasn't that bad. Except that Dragos beat me... by 10 points! Whoooooreeeeeeeeeee!!! lol but anyways, I did some really stupid things that I shouldn't have. He tied for second. I'm not sure how the tie would have been broken. I was tied for fourth, but probably would have come out ahead in the tie breaking because they take written test score as the tie breaker, and I got my first perfect paper today. I'm happy with that, even though I failed the ciphering. Walton placed first overall on both the JV and Varsity levels. Yes, that's right, we own (or Dragos owns). I think I'm going to be owing Mary a dinner sometime near the end of this semester...
I forgot to tell my mom that there was a tournament today. She got a little mad.
My light switch was broken for a while, and on Sunday I decided to go to Home Depot to buy a new one and replace it. It was a challenge to see anything in the dark... and if you ask why I didn't turn on the lights I might have to slap you. I learned something new. But I wish I could have used that time to study and to sleep 30 minutes earlier (yeah it took forever).
10:25PM
My mom saw my Bible and she said "你学这干嘛？" (roughly, why do you want to learn this?) haha I think she thinks I'm turning Christian...
My mom got mad at me because the AP US test is tomorrow and I haven't studied. Dope. AP Euro is Tuesday...
I stayed away from my computer for a while today and when I came back there were like a gazillion IM windows flashing at me... I forgot to log off again (but my away msg was on).
We need to live in Brave New World. It wouldn't be any worse than what we are in now, except we would all just be stupid enough to not know it. Wouldn't that be nice...
12:21AM
Saturday, October 10, 2003
I got rid of my Litestep stuff and I'm back to good old Explorer. With all of its crashing, too.
My dentist was being a whore today. He drilled me once, said "that's it!" like he's done, then does it again, and says it again... he said that's it six times and drilled me six times. He rammed it up my tooth too, and it hurt like a crucified monkey. So I exploded at him and he's like... don't get too excited... lol
I drove on the highway today. My mom was as scared as the wasp humming in horror as it watched me wield the lethal power of thousands of volts and send it through the air at several meters per second its flapping wings. It didn't die till it got into the toilet though.
Then SAT class... dang those girls are hilarious. Afterwards, Charles came over and played ping pong.
I was going to play frisbee, but my mom wouldn't let me, and it got canceled. The one weekend I actually felt like going... grr
8:32PM
I'm really sick. My throat hurt like really badly every time I swallowed the last half of the week, and it got a little better today. But today I'm coughing way too much. In the morning it was ok. I guess I got pneumonia, because right now I was coughing at the average rate of one per 20-30 seconds (yeah... really.) until I got some water. Every two minutes now. For any one who squeals and squirms at the sight or mention of a slug, please do not read on. You might die.This morning I coughed up the most interesting stuff. It looked like a mix of toner (like, from a laser printer) and banana yogurt in an approximately 2:1 ratio. I almost puked when I saw that. EW.
10:52PM
Stupid Tylenol is overexpired six months. No wonder it didn't work. I'm still coughing like a.. uh... cougher.
11:43PM
Friday, October 9, 2003
Awesome. I just woke up after a 4 or 5 hours nap (I don't know when I fell asleep).
Today's pep rally was as bad as any other. I didn't really get the skit, even after seniors explained it. Apparently there's freshmen girls who make out with each other, and the seniors were making fun of that. And juniors who get $1 for blowjobs.
So yeah. Ed spent the math period telling everyone that the junior class is incredibly horny. And how does he know this...
11:58PM
Wednesday, October 8, 2003
I SLEPT BEFORE 12 LAST NIGHT!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!! And I was going to be able to sleep before 8 today, except CiCi told me about the Stanford thing tonight so I'm definitely going to miss some more sleep today. Unless I fall asleep there...
And I made the biggest discovery in the history of computing since the invention of the keyboard. The Scroll Lock button does something other than turn the light on and off (only one of the millions of computer books I've read has said anything at all about this button other than that it exists: it turns the light on and off). Open Excel and try it. If Scroll Lock is on, then if you push Home and End, it won't scroll (hence the name). Also, if you push the arrow keys, the highlight won't move to other cells. Amazing.
...
I just got back from the Stanford thing. It was a nice long trip away in Atlanta at some Carter Center or something like that. Hope I can make at least one of those schools.
Dragos slaughtered me by 10 points on the last chemistry test. Revenge is a-boiling for the next test!!
10:01PM
Tuesday, October 7, 2003
Today Ms. Pepple made fun of the Devil again. That was fun.
In the morning, my breakfast was supposed to be a pair of bao zi. That didn't work. One of them was so hard even my grandpa complained about it. I managed to get most of the other one down though. Later in the afternoon, my mom took a "fresh" one and microwave it for 3 minutes as the package said to do. So what ended up happening was that after the door was opened, steam and smoke (can't tell one from the other) went up like a mushroom cloud. I wish I could have caught that on tape. Then I smelled smoke. Why? Because the thing had gotten burnt while being microwaved. I looked into the trash can, where my mom had thrown the burnt thing, and it was black like half-burnt coal on one side. The other side looked remarkably like what I ate in the morning.
Ok crap. That lady was not a telemarketer. lol
I managed to stay awake all of this afternoon! woohoo! And I think I'm sleeping in <1 hour! WHHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
10:03PM
Monday, October 6, 2003
What a disturbing experience. My computer wouldn't boot today, and it spit out one of these:
Windows 2000 cannot start because the following file is missing or corrupt: (this is not a directory - it is a file with no extension)
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
It's one of the two most important registry hives (like, the Windows registry). If it's missing, nothing works, not
even the Microsoft Blue ScreenTM. After booting from the Win2000 CD and fooling around with obscure stuff
for 45 minutes, and also after rebooting in the middle of a chkdsk, I got it to boot. I don't
know how it works now, though. Magic. It's definitely a good thing though, because I was prepared to spend 6+ hours
reformatting and reinstalling... I actually have a detailed procedure written out for reformatting because I do it so
much... lol

Today my dad pulled me out of bed at 10:30. LAME. I went to learn some parallel parking. In other words, I wasted a lot of rubber and blackened the curb. Also, I rolled up the window and then forgot, and when I tried to look out the window... BAM! Good thing I was awake and alert. If I was sleepy and not thinking, I may have been less careful and hurt the glass (oh, or my head).
At SAT class... I got dog slobber all over me as usual. Her dogs are so ownage. I wish I could have one of them. Except that my dad thinks they're ferocious beasts (they're really really really nice and have trimmed nails too) and my mom is afraid of all dogs over the beastly size of 6 inches.
I totally forgot about the AP US cartoon until Gene mentioned it. Holy crap I would have been toast. Well, I guess it wouldn't have been that bad because I have it seventh. Either way, much thanks to Gene.
11:33PM
Oh I remember now!! Mrs. Pepple was complaining about Ms. Bryan during chemistry!! hahah here's what happened.
During zero period, Ms. Bryan mentions that she went to Kinko's with her own money and printed out n copies of this giant packet with p pages. She said that she didn't want to waste time in the copying machine, because one of the copiers was broken. She said that some lady in there said if you did this and this, then the machine would work fine. Bryan said that her time was worth more than the money she spent at Kinko's, so she just went there instead of playing with the copier.
For the first 15 or 20 minutes of sixth period, Mrs. Pepple mentioned that she had met Ms. Bryan for the first time. The class trashes her during the beginning of each period, so naturally everyone wanted to hear about what Mrs. Pepple thought about this object of our daily beginning-of-the-period-talk. She said that she was in the copying room with some lady she'd never seen before (Bryan), and she knew one of the copiers was broken. Mrs. Pepple was in line first. So Bryan finds out that one of the copiers is broken, and tells Mrs. Pepple to use that one, while she takes the good one. Mrs. Pepple made a really "RRRWWAAAR" tone when she was imitating Ms. Bryan's speaking. That was hilarious. Then Ms. Pepple was like, well, if you just pull the paper out of here and shut it and do it over, it will work (and then it did, which is why we had copied sheets during sixth). Ms. Bryan told Mrs. Pepple that her time is too valuable to waste on that. Of course, Bryan wasted more time going to Kinko's than just pulling a sheet of paper out...
It's so funny, because now everyone in sixth period chem hates Ms. Bryan, including the teacher.... hahaha
beachbabe2300: i was eating lunch at the senior table and this girl was saying how when
she was like 7 she went to sleep over at pepples house b/c she knows her daughter and she brought the beanie baby (they
were popular at the time) as a stuffed animal to sleep with and it happened to be a cute lil devil that was red and
had horns and whatnot
beachbabe2300: and pepple threw her out when she saw the beanie baby and accused her of worshipping
the devil or something
...
beachbabe2300: shes realllly religious though
Dang... she's so nice though... I don't think she would do that even if she is really religious. Hopefully someone just made that up. And I never noticed that Mrs. Pepple is religious.
12:40AM

WAC was today. I left during that last round between Dunbar and Dorman, so I didn't get to see who won. I have my bets on Dorman, but as usual, I hope they lose and burn. Dragos and Yujing were my slaves for doing scores during the preliminary rounds. Apparently the club has had problems doing scores within the time constraints before, but that... didn't happen. With about 30 minutes per round, which means we have to compile each round's scores by the end of the next round, we had more than enough time. A round took 5-10 minutes for us to do, then we handed it to my slaves' slaves (Beta club). They wrote up the scores on the posters outside. So we had 20-some-odd minutes to fool around each round. Then at the end when we ranked the playoff teams and made the bracket, which apparently was an even bigger problem in the past, that only took 15 or 20 minutes. So I think that I did something useful for once. And Mrs. Martin didn't want me to use computers to do score (for a good reason) but it would probably have been worse when no one could read my handwriting. The printouts were pretty clear and understandable (especially when compared to my handwriting).
Although I got 7h 30m of sleep last night (a lot - when I woke up I wasn't tired or sleepy at all) and managed to stay up during all of the WAC that I was there for, I fell asleep immediately after I got home. Immediately. I woke up 4 hours later, and ate, and now I'm here. That was SO tiring.
My parents bought a DVD with videos of Coco Lee. This is really funny, because they are listening to this stuff, and at the same time complaining about the obnoxiousness of the stuff I listen to.
Now, for some reason I thought of freshman year. On Halloween when everyone dressed like a freak (witch, demon, Justin Timberlake, etc.) there was this girl who looked like she'd just gotten out of bed (duh) and had paper taped to her that said "Morning-after Barbie." She was in my Algebra II class. So I didn't get it. I had no idea what that was supposed to mean. So I asked Mary, and she just laughed at me.
Registration for WAC is gay. Stupid people, whores who can't read a map and tell that "REGISTRATION" is where they are right then because they're at the REGISTRATION tables, and mass crowding. I'm not doing that again next year. I'll have to find someone who is organized enough to be able to figure it out, though.

Yesterday I was so busy that I didn't even write anything in here. I spent like 4 hours doing a list of things that need to be done by Nov 8 for WISC. Then I did my lab, which took forever.
There were 7 people on the bus today. 3 got off at my stop. I don't know any of them.
Time to go back to working on WISC. Need readers!! Ahhh!
And WAC is in 3 days? Whoa. Also, apparently I'm coming to something I'm not coming to.
