May 2008


Even though seniors are done with high school classes, I have been at school every day this week.

On Tuesday, I finished reading Lolita. It was disturbingly good. During the weekend I’d read most of it sitting in a park with quite a few nymphets running around, let me tell you. I kindly kept the cover hidden so parents wouldn’t be weirded out.

On Wednesday, I went to a graduation party and met this really cute guy. He was also rather nice and talkative. However, he is very promiscuous and has/had an STD. Not entirely sure what to think.

On Thursday, I watched a lot of TV.

On Friday, I stirred up some drama regarding what happened on Wednesday. Full details upon request.

I want to get started on my novel, but I can’t bear to pick up the pen. That writing scholarship will be the end of me : (

1. The fact that the “Save” and “Publish” buttons are right next to each other resulted in last week’s post being saved as a draft instead of being published to my blog. And now it’s obsolete and uninformative.

2. Since next week I have three tests in a row (physics, chem, and diffeq), I’ve actually been studying this weekend. And it seems that the process of diffeq studying is by far more enjoyable/easy. Should that be weird?

3. I wrote a list of things I’ve learned in high school. It’s up on Facebook. I’ll post it here eventually.

4. I went on a date with an ex-best-friend’s ex-boyfriend in order to annoy her. We (me and ex-bf) agreed that it was simply a friendly date, since the only things we ever hear about each other are through ex-bff and mainly consist of lines similar to “He’s such an asshole. She’s a bitch, oh my god.” I had a good time. I liked her reaction when I told her about it.

5. Meme time.

What were you doing ten years ago?

Ten years ago my family moved here from Stillwater, Oklahoma. I was not happy to start over at a new, rundown school (Fairview) where the first thing that happened to me at recess was getting my hair pulled by a couple of idiotic boys.

What are five things on your to-do list for today?

  1. Relearn Laplace transforms.
  2. Relearn rotational kinematics and related stuff.
  3. Learn about gas laws and equilibriums.
  4. Write a paper on Alphonse Mucha.
  5. Take a shower.

What are some snacks you enjoy?

Do I snack anymore? It’s an on-off thing with me, and I’ve been trying to cut down my sugar intake. I like potato chips, cereal, chocolate, the occasional cookies… but if it’s around 8 at night, I’ll probably go for a banana or an orange.

What would you do if you were a billionaire?

Pay for college tuition. The cost is ridiculous, and I’ve already been denied a bunch of scholarships.

And then I’d fund some useful science projects and hire quality hitmen to pepper off stupid politicians.

What are three of your bad habits?

  1. Checking my email incessantly.
  2. Sleeping in class.
  3. Excessive swearing.

What are five places where you have lived?

  1. Hamilton, Ontario
  2. Princeton, New Jersey
  3. Stillwater, Oklahoma
  4. Columbia, Missouri
  5. Very soon to be true–Ithaca, New York

What are five jobs you have had?

  1. Math tutor –decent pay, kid was stupid and learned nothing.
  2. Biology tutor –I got dinner out of the deal.
  3. Lab rat –no pay, grad student couldn’t speak English, professor was a jerk.

Tag five people.

Tag yourself.
