Where is my Spectra??

"Again, calculate your total earnings at five percent interest over chwenty years." Whatever Lipman.

My computer is making a very strange and disconcerting noise.

I am very angry right now. The other day I lost my best pencil. Then I started using this really cool erasable pen, but I lost that too. And today I lost my replacement pencil. So I'm all out of pencils/pens. Why, pencil gods, why?

The Newb was absent today in physics. We continued our pointless lab. I overheard this girl talking to some other people and she said that all the people she's talked to who go/have gone to SDSU don't like it because you actually have to study there. Apparently there is "nothing to do except schoolwork." Um.... what do you think college is for, idiot? Luckily I wasn't outwardly mean to anyone.

But today was also very good. Ms. Edwards pulled me out of physics to talk about the GED. She says it's a great idea. She told me that I am very bright and that I can do anything I set my mind to. I love Ms. Edwards.

All that's left to do is register for the test, take it, then hopefully pass it. Once I can hold it in my hands, I can leave school.

Ms. Edwards told me that I may be able to continue taking my bio class while attending Las Po at the same time. That would be cool, since bio is the only class I actually look forward to every day.

My grades for this semester won't count for anything and won't show up on any transcript. That's good. They are very bad right now.

Bradley update: Today Mrs. Bradley continued talking about nothing. We were supposed to start our Socratic seminars, but she used up all the class time yapping on and on.

My stomach muscles hurt very badly right now. Pilates. Your abs are constantly being squeezed and pulled. It hurts.

My car is still in Hayward. I really miss it.


I've been thinking about the nature of AP classes. Why do some people take so many? Do they do it just for the sake of taking an AP class? What is the point of it if you are not actually interested in what the class is about? It's a waste of time and effort to take so many. A lot of my friends are miserable because they are overloaded with crap that they don't even care about. AP classes are OPTIONAL. You are not being forced to take an uninteresting course. So why??? Gah. Colleges care more about your personal interests and if you are taking classes that go along with a certain theme. If you are interested in math, then take AP calculus. But don't take AP English at the same time. Show colleges you have a method to your madness, not that you're spread out all over the place with no coherent point. Or don't even do it for college. Just take something for fun.

Well, this is a very boring post. Sorry.

Oh yeah, the NLCS is on later!!!! Go Arizona!!!
