The End.

The end of the world...
-Ryan decided to do his homework today
-I finished Freshman year without killing any Floridians (but I came close)
Oh my Darhwin. The Floridians have some stupid rule about no backpacks the last week of school because they're afraid you're going to bomb the school or something. So they tell you to put it in Student Affairs. Yeah, like we don't all want to destroy the administration building. Don't take this as a bomb threat... The world has enough of those.
Another point. Why are there bomb threats? Why would anyone threaten or foretell of a bombing? What's the point of that? Don't terrorists like the SURPRISED look on people's faces when things explode? Why tell everyone about it? That is soooo stupid IMO. Although, empty threats do get by pretty well. Especially in rich, paranoid countries who are still afraid of Communism if you take a vague look at the South.
I don't know how I'm going to get by in high school. Every day brings another little (or significant) event that makes me want to BLOW UP the rich conservatives even more. It's soooo annoying... ARGH!

Rose, Maia, Henry, Zach V., Zach W-D, and a few others got SECOND PLACE IN THE NATION at the last Rocketry competition in Virginia!!!! =D They met astronauts, shook hands with the Secretary of Defense (I think), and got onto the internet. Awesome stuff like that.

Now Blogger saves your post automatically!

YES!
Finally!
I'm not as worried any more.
I don't know how often it saves, though.

It's time to pack and potentially relax for the summer. I don't know how easily relaxing will be, but I can always try.

It just saved. How wonderful.

I like this.

This isn't a very well-known song, but "Whatsername" by Green Day is pretty awesome.

Facebook has proven to be very addicting these days.

"Draft autosaved at 2:08 PM"

So it saves every minute? That would be nice.

Yesterday I realized how much I want to leave high school so I can forget Florida sooner. But Caltech would never accept me... or MIT. LOL. My dreams are too big.

Awards

Tomorrow is the Underclass Awards Ceremony. I hope something happy happens.

Oh dear... My stolen wireless connection is being wimpy on Gmail. This is highly disappointing.

Nothing especially brilliant happened today. I have technically completed Orchestra, Spanish 2, Life Management Skills, and E/S Science because I got those exempted today. Freed won't sign my form until Friday which is bad because we have no 2nd period class because of the ceremony.
We emptied out our gym and hallway lockers today.
Yesterday, I found out how to open Ryan's locker because I watched him open it. I regret not looking months beforehand. It is too late now. I opened it again during 5th period when we were supposed to go clean them out but he'd already removed everything. =(

From elyrics.net

Someone I know really needs to hear this song.
Um you probably shouldn't analyze it with me in it because I certainly didn't break up with anyone. =/

Because Of You lyrics

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

Not my decision

I know someone who knows someone who takes lessons from one of the three judges for the last TSYO auditions, so it is possible that I could find out my results as early as next Wednesday. The person I know found out that she got into Chamber. This is horrible because she didn't make it into Symphony.
I'M SCARED!!
And I don't want to go home on the bus tomorrow because I want to get into Anchor Club.
I just have to wait for these results now.
Oh yeah. Since I have the horriblest classes in the world, I have to focus my attention on other things or risk losing my mind. I realized how much catching up I have to do for...

PIANO!

If I ever get bored in China, I'm not leaving my little cousin's house because I will be playing the piano for hours. And, with great sincerity and not a hint of sarcasm, I declare that this will be great fun.

Another awesome Chinese friend!!

This post is dedicated to Shuyao because she is awesome. I'm not going to proclaim all over the internet why, but she is ^^.

Yahoo! Smilies

For the new within-Yahoo! Mail-smilies thing, they changed the smilies to newer ones!! In the emails, I hope they didn't. Those smilies were awesome! And adorable. And fun. I loved the enormous smiles and the evil grins.
Yahoo! has way too much extra stuff on its page. Gmail is so much cleaner and neater.
It's Friday!
Today was the Anchor Club interview. We find out if we get in on Monday if our big sister comes during our 2nd period. I hope I got into the club! (It's a service club.)
We are FINALLY doing binomial series in math! We don't do Trig until next year... Boo. We do Pre-Calc, actually, which does Trig/Analyt and Pre-Calc. And uses the same little red textbook as the Trig class. We will have Little Red Books! =O ^^. Binomial series was probably my favorite part of AlgII MAO. It's so sad that we had to wait so long. Yesterday, the math teacher gave his ultimate new overhead projector example. I think I have an English, Science, and Math test next Wednesday. These are three big tests, but hopefully, my misery will be balanced out by the MAO Banquet (6:30-8:30pm)!! I'm so excited!

I <3 the Internet!

Today, I found "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day and "U Can't Touch This" by M. C. Hammer on the internet. I will not speak more of it because I think I did something illegal. Actually, I'm sure. The Green Day one is so sad! Back in WI when I had DSL, I saw the music video on Yahoo! At first I thought the girl was mad because he made her pregnant except then there were scenes of a war. It was too depressing.
Even Jack thinks the song is really depressing! He has feelings! =O In fact, he finds it so depressing that he refrained from putting it on his iPod Nano.
I wish I had an iPod.
I got the other song because June has this little obsession over it but, poor guy, he doesn't know how to download it free from the internet.

DI4 ER4 BAI3!

Wow... I can't believe it! The 200th post is here!
First of all, here's a NY Times article that is very sad and interesting.
CLICK ON THIS
I have to play the piano now so I can't write that much... Sorry... Hopefully the last post was long enough. I was going to wait and put that as the 200th post but it was so meaningful that I wanted it on my blog NOW(well, yesterday) so yeah.
Orchestra is so weird. We got new music but we didn't end up playing anything. We just sat there.
