So last night was quite interesting. I'll spare you the details, but one amusing highlight ( Read more... )

Lie to others, but don't lie to yourself.

Despite Nick's claim that AIM is a waste of time, he and I had a very interesting conversation tonight. For that matter, all of my conversations tonight were meaningful. I've come to the conclusion that caring too much for someone can be a weakness. It makes even the most perceptive people blind, and the wisest people foolish. Another cause for ( Read more... )

While talking to Nick, I had an idea for the greatest movie ever made. The Dark Tower, starring Chuck Norris as Roland, Vin Diesel as Eddie, Mr. T as Odetta/Detta/Susannah, and Matt Damon as Jake Chambers.

Orgasmic.

I just saw Syriana with my friend, and while it wasn't on the same level as Kong or Narnia, it was still an entertaining and, above all, unique film. It's kind of like an episode of Seinfeld in that it follows four seemingly unrelated storylines whose interconnectedness (is that a word?) becomes increasingly evident as time goes on ( Read more... )

The long-dreaded exam week has finally come to a close, and despite the massive stress it caused me, all in all it wasn't that bad. I got the second highest grade in stat (98, tied with Alex, right below Marissa), beasted my way to the top score in chemistry, and got an A in debate despite the rather controversial speech I chose.

I'm not usually one to brag... but after the hardcore studying I did last night, I feel slightly entitled to proclaim with some pride that I got the highest grade on the chemistry exam. Perhaps more important than being first, I beat that smug little sophomore Milt (in fact, he also got beat by Victoria Ottuso, finishing a distant third). Needless ( Read more... )

Although I would undoubtedly be failing history if not for gradesummit, I must say it is the height of tedium. Doing one or two chapters isn't two bad, but fifteen for the exam is just beastly. Fortunately my other exam tomorrow is Doc's. I'm not too worried about it after I Altonesquely beasted the review (netting 470 of my team's 490 points ( Read more... )

Just got back from King Kong, and all I can say is: wow ( Read more... )

Debate is a joke. And not the funny kind. If, for any reason, any of you are considering taking it -- don't. For our exam we were told to pick a famous speech, perform it in front of the class, and write a biography on the speaker. Okay, easy enough. Looking to do something interesting (in other words, not by Martin Luther King or John F. Kennedy ( Read more... )
