...it's off to Boston I go!
Olin Candidates' Weekend, here I come!
"But as for you, be strong and do not relax, for your work shall be rewarded." -2 Chronicles 15:7
Oy. I certainly hope so.
Hey, everybody. I know I haven't blogged in a while. I've been real busy.
For anyone who doesn't yet know, I had my appendix removed one week ago today. And I feel fine. I went back to school on Friday and am now buried under a mountain of make-up work. Well, not actually, but kinda. This sucks.
I have the Scholastic Bowl Conference (or is it regionals? I can never remember) meet tomorrow. Then Wednesday I have a field trip downtown to see the Moliere Comedies. Joy!
Trying to decide whether to take the Calc test tomorrow. I figure I'll fail it whether I take it tomorrow or not. Shucks.
Well, I got to go. I got plenty o' work to do.
BTW, some dude in Nashville paid for a Platinum account. Yay!
...to say no, I'm not dead.
And neither is John Forbes, apparently. Welcome to my blog, John!
Everybody's a critic.
First funny thing: today was Petey's birthday. His younger sister, who's a dean runner, came in with brownies and sang the strangest version of "Happy Birthday" I have ever heard. Then we all enjoyed brownies. Yay.
English sucked. Mr. Blair complained about people complaining about his class. I remember when we had the 1st quarter interview, he complained to me that our class was a "whiny class."
CBE was OK. We're reading Catcher in the Rye. Just kill me now.
At lunch, the wonder twins came to ask me for help with Calculus. What is wrong with the world?!?!?
Petey's sister made a reappearance in Calculus. More brownies to help us take our tests. Test was OK.
What can I say about programming? It's fun. Kinda. You know, fun as in "easier than Auto and I can do homework for other classes, plus I get to write programs."
Auto was fun. We'll be starting the tires lab soon.
Econ was standard Econ.
We lost to Downers North. No surprise, but we played pretty badly, too. Phil didn't get either Presidents question, and Kevin didn't do so well on math. At least Proviso West saved us the hassle of whooping their posterior by not showing up. Then on the bus Mr. Gerut suggested I make some kind of speech when Mrs. Joyce got on, but when she did I didn't have much opportunity. Then Kevin's like, "Great speech." Oh well, I don't care. We're having a practice on Monday (yay, post-season!) and I'll make it then, after I've had time to prepare and I'm not so tired. We had pizza as promised, and my tongue still hurts from the incredibly and deceptively hot cheese.
I have homework to do. Bye.
Maureen used my Verse of the Week! Yay!
Anyway, my birthday, as you know, was the 28th. I still need to get my debit card from my bank. I was looking at this Cingular plan the other day. I've determined that Mom's phone isn't good enough for several reasons, namely:
Sprint PCS sucks. "All digital, all PCS," all crap.
I can't give the number out.
Anyway, Cingular's cheapest plan is $19.99/month, which I think is pretty affordable. I can get a Nokia 3595 for free (with a 2-year commitment, of course). I don't know, it just would be a lot more convenient for me to have a way to reach Mom when both of us are out, considering I don't have a car. Plus once I get my investment account transferred, I'll be saving $7/month.
I don't know. But I have to get to bed, so whatever.
