Angela's Ashes. Everyone should read that. Forget conventional grammar, Frank McCourt actually makes me think he is still a five year old child. And Love in the Time of Cholera, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I know how I'm going to spend my four day weekend!

How amusing. A girl I added to my friends list on LJ told me to delete her. Then by pure coincidence, she adds me on Tabulas and asks me to make a layout for her. Interesting ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been like a roller coaster ride all the way here to Spring Break. Teachers love to get the work crammed in right before it. And since I missed last Thursday and Friday for Texas FBLA State Leadership Conference, I had even more work to do. I think I aced an English test (very rare) and bombed a Chemistry test (also very rare) yesterday.

I need a license and a car. Waiting 3 hours in the freezing cold for my mother to pick me up after school is not peachy. I understand that she gets off work at 5, and it's selfish to ask her to take time off just to pick me up. But for Christ's sake, she got home at 6, but for some reason, I was stuck outside my school until 7PM. That's more than ( Read more... )

Mozilla Firefox has arrived. Or maybe it did sooner, and I just didn't know about it. What is this, like the third name change? Phoenix to Firebird to Firefox. It now comes with its own installer ^_^; And I've discovered the CSS editing sidebar <3<3<3. Live CSS editing. And the Checky extension rocks. Validation in more ways than I can count. That ( Read more... )

I've got great cramming skills. My FBLA advisor gave me the International Business textbook before Thanksgiving break. I hadn't cracked it open -- not one page. Yesterday was my FBLA district competition, and I had no idea what the heck International Business was besides being... business internationally. During the keynote speaker's talk, I ( Read more... )

I can't believe I'm watching this. Well the horrible singers are always fun to watch, it just gets boring when it gets to the good people. But I just wanted to say one thing. I can't believe that rocker guy (Micah?) didn't get into the top 32! His voice was amazing! And then he sang that "I Can Show You the World" song, proving versatility ^_~; Yet ( Read more... )

That was a great movie. It was worth all my rushing to get homework done in order to make the 7:15 showing. Although I still missed the first part, I enjoyed the rest of it. Everyone needs a little "story-telling" in their life, especially me. Ewan MacGregor was superb. I forgot what other movie Tim Burton directed, but I hope he gets many ( Read more... )

Three day weekend. Thank you, Martin Luther King Jr. It's the only break I'll have before Spring Break (which is a long time away). I've finished all my homework except for my Spanish project. Unfortunately, that's the bulk of my workload. In addition, I should study some UIL Number Sense and Octathlon. That's just offline ( Read more... )
