No Child Left Behind

Rare Candy

.... to read is to understand, to see is to learn, to do is invaluable.
Thanks Edward, for such a valuable quote

Have I said this before? I don't mind failing miserably at something as long as I learn something from it.

Live and learn.


In fact, I'd like it better that way. Doing it right the first time seems to be like cheating your way out of it. You don't really actually know it.

I think it's kinda like using cloned rare candy in Pokemon. You get the same results, but something is missing. Something essential.

The End of Spring Break Rush

Otherwise known as doing all of Spring Break's homework on the Sunday before school starts.

This might possibly be the worst spring break I've ever had.

Every day I spent at engineering until very late. I did not do anything.

Usually during spring break I have some sort of resolution, or things to accomplish. This year I had but one: Sleep

Epic Fail.

It's cute.

Engineering

is ruining my life.

Seriously, each day of Spring Break is spent at school working away. Every day.

We wake up as early as we wake up for school, and stay later.
Monday it was 7, Tuesday it was 2, and today it's 9.

Completely ridiculous. Where'd my break go?

Spring Break!

Time to catch up on my favorite extracurricular activity: SLEEP!

It's freakin hot =)


My ears are burning but I kept on walking

Fifty years from now, when you're looking back at your life, don't you want to be able to say you had the guts to get in the car?

Revelation!

This is to you brian/alex. I have finally realized the difference!
Time for some delta-wynn in my life =)
maybe chain emails arent so bad after all.


A good friend wonders about your romantic history.
A true friend could blackmail you with it.

A good friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A true friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

A good friend will knock on the door.
A true friend will walk right in and say "I'M HOME!"


A good friend respects your privacy.
A true friend jerks you off.


A friend returns your stuff a day late and a dollar short, apologizing profusely.
A good friend returns your stuff on time, as good as new and maybe even better than before.
A true friend keeps your stuff for so long they forget its yours.

A friend visits you in the hospital.
A good friend packs you an overnight bag.
A true friend cleans out your porn collection before your parents arrive to pack your overnight bag.

A friend laughs when he finds out you went to jail, and tells you what you did wrong.
A good friend will wake up at 2am in the morning to bail you out.
A true friend turns to you and says, "Damn that was fun!"

Tennis

I think I'll stick to doubles from here on out.

Afterall, if I have an okay crosscourt shot, why not use it to my advantage?

Practicalities

It's like learning about something from a textbook.

Knowing every little thing about it, every fact, every piece of information. That doesn't help you really understand it unless you've experienced it.


You may know all the physics of parachuting off a plane. You may know exactly what to do, exactly where to land, and have every step memorized exactly.

But still, you've never actually jumped off the plane before, and that's something totally different.

Therefore, it is impossible for you to truly realize what it feels like on the other side of the fence.

Goddamn

I hate it when my brain fails me.

Man it's been a while.

McCain bashing! =)

Stress and Suspense

AP Tests are almost here, I barely realized.

Last year, I was freaking out completely, went crazy and all that other fun stuff.
Now, I don't even care anymore. That's not good... shouldn't this happen senior year?

This year is... weird. It's like, the one year where finally everything doesn't completely change for me.

It's just like the same as last year, except I'm older.
Well duh you say, but seriously. From Freshmen to Sophomore year so many things changed. Like went from jv to varsity, started taking APs, and other stuff. But this year, like it all seems like a repeat. It's kinda weird.

And then, other things changed. Before, it was always the events that changed, and not the people. It would always be the same damn people in a different environment, or something.

Sophomore-Junior year, wow. I think it's more like new people, same environment this time around.

Why am I talking about this now? This would make a fabulous post at the end of Junior Year. Guess I'll save this topic for discussion til then.

Brawl

After so much hype, so much waiting time, after SO LONG.

I finally played brawl.

It was SO BEAST.

Subspace Emissary is the coolest thing yet. Not as cool as Halo 3, but definitely better than any single player smash you have ever played ever, especially when it's co-op.
Gets kinda repetitive however.

It's not THAT slow, in fact it's actually really damn fast.

Only some characters like snake and ike are slow mothers that do 500 damage.

I can't wait until the weekend.

Olimar owns.

Brawl comes out tomorrow

What a historic moment.

I was more excited for Halo 3.

OWWW

We kinda played the first verse to Enter Sandman by Metallica. With bass, guitars, and drums. It kinda sucked very badly.


I burned my hand. It hurts SO BADLY.

The smell is disgusting. Now I know what the books say when they talk about the people gagging on the smell of burning flesh.

Conflicting...

My morals and liberal belief on life seem to contradict each other on the surface sometimes, it seems to me.
Only if I scratch deeper...

Honestly, I feel like learning and growing up is part of life. Babying children from mistakes and failures is counter productive. I'd seriously not mind if I went through some total crisis or disaster, as long as I emerged learning a lesson and growing.

Note the last condition.

Oh there are so many intricacies to this, one would not even imagine.

To err is human, to laugh forgive divine.

WTF!

KARMA JUST FUCKING DOUBLE-BLUFFED ME.

I didn't even know that was a legal move! =[

New Years Resolutions Update

Changed new years resolution from

Make varsity tennis

to

Make varsity tennis Singles.

Karma

Today was actually quite fun. It was fulfilling, and overall awesome.

Besides whatever happened, I also am getting used to driving my car now.

Also, on the parking lot in Brea mall, something extraordinarily happened.


Wallis, Chris, Edward, and I were walking when Edward sees a black 328i. It's a coupe too. The door is not even properly closed. Not only that, it isnt even locked. Not only THAT, but it has an iPod in plain sight.

After lots of hesitation, Wallis tries to open the door. It opens cleanly, and we have in front of us full access to this BMW. We could have done anything. Messed up the inside, scratched up the seats, steal the iPod, steal their sunglasses, steal their lint remover, steal the wallet in the glove compartment, or maybe even steal the small purse in the other compartment.

Instead, Wallis takes out the pen. I tell Edward to write on the lint remover these words: "We locked your car for you. Be more careful next time. From one bmw owner to another =)".

I hide the iPod in the compartment and try to lock the door. Unfortunately, it won't lock, and just pops back up. Nothing we can do now, so we just close the door without changing the message.

At least the door is properly shut now, and the iPod isn't in plain sight.

I don't know what other people would have done in that situation, but think of it this way: Both Edward and Wallis don't have an iPod. And they would both really really love one.

Anyway, it kind of made my day. Honestly, if Life takes a shot at me now, I'd be extremely extremely disappointed.
