FU Invitational tomorrow =/

I feel so horrible.
I haven't studied MAO, which will be vital tomorrow, nor thought of a topic for my AP application essay that's due on Wednesday.
Today, Rose replied a missed call she got from me, and after hearing her talk, I was reminded of eighth grade. She could take for days straight about one video game =)
It was heartbreaking to realize what I was leaving last July. Moving has been in the back of my mind for more than a year today.
Today, I watched the Memoirs of a Geisha. The theme song is still in the back of my mind. Yo-yo Ma is so amazing. -sob- I can't say the movie was amazing, but it was not bad. It would be beneficial to read the book first if you were to want to see it because some of it might not make sense. The book explicitly shows many cultural details by explaining just about everything. I read it towards the end of eighth grade.
Aaah. Eighth grade. I realize that I talk about it a bit too much, but it was my transition towards a normal girl to someone who cannot seem to lift herself from the stresses of her life. It was a turning point that cannot be followed backwards, and as regretful as it is, there is nothing I can do.
So, please don't be too annoyed when I mention eighth grade in every other sentence. This goes especially to Diana and any other Floridians who may be reading this. Although, if there are other Floridians reading this, then could you please email me? I wasn't aware that you did.

*-*

I hate Princess Peach.
I also don't like how I still don't know what to write for my AP application essay. And how it's due next Wednesday.
For History, I'm currently doing a "newspaper article" on women during WWII. Next, I have to create a minimum of four advertisements. I was thinking about advertising grenades, but I might get into trouble for that and I don't think they were sold to common households. This newspaper thing is so annoying!
I'm going to upload a random picture now because this post is really boring (not that the older ones aren't.)

IE7 vs. MF

Internet Explorer 7: Better for dial-up because it seems to load a bit faster, better for old people because it displays everything in a centered sort of way, larger text, very simple format, convenient access to favorites and history because of the left column thing you can pull out and even keep there if you want
Mozilla Firefox: Much better display, pictures all look sharper, websites are usually moved to the top left corner so they aren't centered unless it is the way the website is made, better for browsing because things look nicer, good for faster internet if you want to kind of randomly look online, pictures load from top to bottom quite smoothly, the loading bar at the bottom is much more accurate (IE7's green loading thing makes you think it's almost done and then you have to wait more and more and more), has an automatic spell checker for when you type that is good for your random typing errors
Overall, Mozilla Firefox makes the internet more enjoyable, but Internet Explorer 7 seems easier to use. Today, I've used Firefox because I liked how everything looked nicer, but when doing research, I would prefer IE7 because you can access bookmarked pages very easily and work offline. I don't know if you can work offline on Firefox. The annoying thing is, every minute or so a screen pops up for me to re-dial on Firefox if I'm not connected. Grrr.

Tomorrow is going to be awesome! My HOUSE is coming in the morning, and my VP and MVC will be here around 1:30pm because the MVC has tennis lessons and the VP has no ride. I hope my HOUSE remembers to bring a few piano books. =)

My little yellow dictionary (Pocket Dictionary: Spanish) is so very useful sometimes.
I know. That was really random. But it was right in front of me and I thought it was awesome. Unfortunately, there is some light blue on it, so it is marginally Michigan State colors. But not really.
I really need to practice math.
Mozilla Firefox is so weird. I decided to use it today instead of Internet Explorer 7 because it makes websites look nicer. For example, on Google, the Google logo is the correct size and not blown up so that you can see all the pixels. You can adjust the % on IE7, but it doesn't center once you do that. The weird thing is, any time I type anything, there is an automatic spell check. It's kind of annoying because I can't type randomly without being afraid that I'll mess up, and then that zig-zag shaped red underline will appear. It triggers OCD a bit, too. Oh, look. The spell check doesn't recognize "OCD". MS Word is nice because it ignores all your abbreviations. Of course, this is subliminally training us for future standardized tests. Our English teacher (who is obsessed with junior-related topics like AP, SAT, and ACT) informed us that many colleges/universities are starting to pull your essays from the SAT because then they know that you wrote it.
Wow, my Word instincts just made me hold CTRL+S, and then it published. = ="
I have to do an enormous project on World War II tomorrow. I could've started today, but I've done so much already that it's killing me. The spell check doesn't recognize "CTRL", either.
Wednesday, like my previous post said, will be "blah." I don't have anything planned, so I will probably just kind of sit there doing history homework and procrastinating at the same time. But, since I don't have anything to do except homework, I really hope that I will finish that assignment because it is the biggest of the last 16 assignments that I have to finish.
Um. I just pressed CTRL+S again. Oops.
Sometimes, I can't wait until Saturday because we're going to be gone almost all day. (5:30am-6:30pm) However, by the time it IS Saturday, almost all of our break will be over and the day will eventually be over. Sad.

HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY, MEI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better than last time.

This time, my break consists of absolutely NO math homework! But plenty of HISTORY... Grrrr. >:(
I haven't written for a while because, well, first of all, I kind of forgot to, and second of all, I just didn't. I know. Wonderful reasons, no?
Friday- History homework, sat around-ish, not much, watched the TV for the first time in about a month or something like that
Saturday- more homework, finished my Science outline (finally!), went to the mall and got really, really bored with my family, disappointed that I didn't find a red shirt with yellow stars on it, hated the mall because we went to the stupidest stores, went to tennis with three of my coworkers (who work for me:)
Sunday- I'm not quite sure. Ummm... Read most of Night by Elie Wiesel, got scared, no piano lessons (I wasn't scared of not having piano lessons. I was scared of the book because it was really... scary.), debated with a few friends on the internet because this kid (who one of my friends met at a Pokemon convention in IL) suddenly insulted Atheism, got very tired of the internet
Monday- Today!, found out that the MAO practice is Tues. and Fri. from 3-5, found out that the MVC can come on Thursday, got bored with History (for the (g-1)th time), found out that the MVC has tennis lessons on Thursday and so therefore probably won't come until after lunch, he got grounded for today for hitting his sister with a pillow by the way, talked to Diana for way too long, new piano piece that is quite queer, I probably can't play it correctly, and now I'm typing this.
Tuesday- the MAO practice
Wednesday- blah.
Thursday- PING-PONG with different people for once!
Friday- the other MAO practice
Saturday- FU Invitational in Gainesville
Sunday- last day of Spring Break
They must hate us. Spring Break is so short.
Monday- School resumes. And resumes. And resumes. And we're going to have to start studying for State which is absolutely inconceivable (hah- that word reminds me of The Princess Bride. We watched it after an orchestra concert in middle school. It was hilarious.) because we have to learn even MORE... *cramming sessions*

Loading...

I finally watched all three of those YouTube videos. The latter two were really weird.
The first one was definitely the best, so if your internet is kps-challenged like mine, then watch that one. The other two aren't really worth watching (in my opinion).
During the last minute of school in my science class on Thursday, the 200th theorem was completed.
Thanks to all who have contributed:
Me
VP
HOUSE
MVC
EIA (Who won the district history fair in Individual on his birthday AND has a Wii now!!!)
Bogey
Par ((Theorem 184: Junio no es inteligente.) I had to correct him because he started out writing "June es no inteligente." Then, he forgot to change "June" to "Junio". It was ironic.)
I never noticed this until now, but my EIA changed Theorem 41 to "Korean people eat dogs." from my previous "Chinese people don't eat dogs."
Theorem 204: The CEO is very disappointed with herself because she only got a 102% in math for the third quarter.

Igudesman and Joo

Someone's cousin gave me these urls.
Rachmaninoff
Piano and Violin
Piano Lesson

I haven't watched the 3rd one yet and the dial-up is still loading the second one.
I liked the first one a lot.

The end.

We had our last real MAO practice. At the end of spring break, we're going to the FU Invitational.
After that, we're "studying" for the State Convention. We even got our CDs today with all those interesting Theta tests. (Theta=Geometry and Algebra II)

Applying for the Advanced Placement program has begun. An essay must be written. An ESSAY. I'm a bit worried. *writer's block*

Tomorrow is William's birthday!!! (If you want to see William, then go back to my old posts and find "William is my homie."
Friday= Teacher Planning/Inservice Day= NO SCHOOL!
Saturday~Sunday= first weekend of Spring Break
Monday~Friday= "studying" for the Invitational
Tuesday= Mei's Birthday
Thursday= Ryan's Birthday
Friday= Remind Diana about Joseph's lack of earphones
Saturday= THE INVITATIONAL
Sunday= Last day of Spring Break :'(

It's so weird that Spring Break is sooo near, since it's always felt like summer here. And suddenly- what? Spring Break? But I thought it was summer. When we had Christmas, let's see. What did it feel like? Definitely not a white Christmas. It was a very green and unfortunately a Floridian Christmas. Whatever that is.

I had a really bad day today, so I'm not going to talk about it.

My VP and I are going to have lots of fun annoying Diana 3/2 more than usual because my MVC will not be there. I'm looking forward to it because it will also mean the end of the 3rd quarter- the "hardest grading period". It's so easy to slack of at this time. I've slacked off so much this week alone that it's almost funny.

I hate OASIS.

I'm so tired of violins.

Today, we had some sort of FCAT performance assessment which required all the orchestra people to go to DMS and play for three judges and one separate one for sight reading.
Most of the day consisted of us standing on the stage, trying to pass the time for over three hours or something crazy like that. It was sooo borrringgg....
In the very beginning, we walked into a vacant music room and there was a piano, but I could barely play anything because we were really paranoid about its volume and close vicinity (about 20 feet of another room in between) to the judging/performing room. Then, we walked off to get our violins out... Aaaahhh.
X.X
I hate the violin even more now.

When I got home, I played the piano for a few minutes. It brought back some of my sanity.
