Physically impossible. Woohoo!
I wanted to make the ideal schedule, but I wasn't sure about three of the classes, so it wouldn't really work.
So, that was amusing. I don't think ParentPortal is working for me anymore, though.

A Good Sunday
The procrastinating is no good, but I am now William's manly man (instead of "wing man" like Jack), and I am listening to happy-ish music, and my parents fixed my break light in a dramatically short amount of time with about two dollars! Awesome. And they got me an extra bottle of contact lens solution for no particular reason.
The subject was going to be Good Sunday, but then I realized that might be (LIKE) a religious holiday.
I am scared for a week and less than a day from now. But this summer has been very good, so I am very thankful.
The next half year or so seems so planned out that I don't know what could surprise me. It is a nice thing every now and then, knowing what is going to happen.
I think that if people convince themselves that they are going to enjoy the day, that it can work, as long as something really awful doesn't happen. That is such a big catch, though, sometimes. We'll see.
I am on 18/30.

Bad luck fixed.
I had 444 posts on here. This will make it safer before I write my weekly post over on the other blog.

Physics
Professor Vlad told me a story about his friend who served in the Army in... Some country like Russia? I don't remember, actually... I'm not sure if he said that.
Here it is, roughly.
There were a lot of mines back in the day. It was said that a bunch of force will trigger them to explode. If you are walking around, usually it won't happen, but if you jump from a tree, a mine can be triggered easily. One day, a group of soldiers were all lined up. The sergeant asked them why someone can drop from a tree and trigger a mine, but not if one stays on the ground. No one said anything. The sergeant now knew that they were all very dumb. He yelled, "ACCELERATION! It is greater when you fall down!" Professor Vlad's friend, a physics major, interjected. "Acceleration is always 'g'..." The sergeant pointed and said, "Shut up."
(By the way: apparently a mine is triggered by energy of the work done, which depends on displacement.)

First to Twelfth
I emailed my mother next year's school schedule.
Her reply:
School starts on your birthday again!!!
I just remember the last time it happened was your first school year in America.

They replied!
Yes!
The first time, they thought I was submitting an essay that day or something, which would have been odd since the new application hasn't come out yet.
They said,
"So long as you are the sole author of the essay, it should not be an issue if it is found elseware on the internet."
The only thing worrying me is the use of "elsewhere," but hopefully that isn't really a big deal.
I am glad.

Waiting
I put an essay on this blog one day in order to share it with my friends. But now that I have deleted the post, I can still find it with Google. This worries me, because whether I can search for it or not, it is still floating around somewhere. I know that I wrote the essay with no outside help, so I am truly the author of that essay.
I wanted to submit it in my Common App. But there is the question of people looking it up in the case of plagiarism, and thinking that I did not really write it, since it can be possibly be found online. After looking around at the Help section on commonapp.org, I decided to email their Support. Hopefully, they give me a response, and furthermore, I hope that the response is concise.
