So this past month has probably been one of the craziest months of my life. Seriously, just so much stuff has been happening, I think it rivals the great mock trial nationals month of '04. Maybe in the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer in Santa Barbara I just forgot what it's like here, but I dunno it's just one of those times where I feel like I ( Read more... )

Oh yeah, and I might go home after Hawaii for thanksgiving. I mean it's like a 12 hour flight from the East Coast. The earliest I could get back would be Monday afternoon anyways and two of my classes on Wednesday are cancelled anyhow. So I'd maybe make it back for my 4pm on Monday (and I'd be exhausted) and then I'd have 1 class tuesday and 2 ( Read more... )

Yeah, there's a facebook group at my school (and probably many others) named that. I'm sorry, am I the only who thinks that is going too far?? I know I'm the only one who thinks the "I went to Public School, Bitch" or "I went to Private School, Strumpet" groups are dumb cause everyone else in the world is in one of the two (or the third "I went to ( Read more... )

So... wow. This weekend I went to MAISA women's singlehanded, which is the singlehanded championships for my district (MAISA) and it's sailed in laser radials. Last year I got tenth and was hoping to do slightly better, top eight I believe was my goal. Anyhow, we do four races and I come in for lunch yesterday and I'm WINNING. This was... bizarre.

Oh yeah, and I saw Bill Gates speak yesterday, it was pretty cool. I mean, I felt richer just looking at him. Plus, I was in the same room as not one, but two xbox 360s. I mean, I don't even play video games, but I thought that was pretty cool. But I thought it was fun and informative. There was a funny video in it too of him and Napoleon Dynamite ( Read more... )

Could this show BE any better? It is so good. I am really looking forward to seeing Serenity. This is another one those tragedies that was only a one season show. It didn't even make it all the way through the first season. But I can see why people didn't watch it- it's trying to merge too many genres. It's like a western, cause there's lots of ( Read more... )

So Thursday night I went on an all night bike ride with my history of the City of New York class with Professor Ken Jackson. I borrowed my friend PJ's cousin's bike for the ride. I'll describe that bike ride after this. Right now, however, I think I should detail my very first arrest. This is long, but oh so worth it ( Read more... )

As of tonight, I had my first arrest. Stay tuned for updates (not before tomorrow night).

P.S. The charge is parading without a permit. I was participating in a critical mass bike ride. Google it.

Sooooooo excited for the all night bike ride. It's with my history class which is taught by this amazing professor who is SO knowledgeable about the history of the City of New York (what the class is called) which is like... one of my favorite subjects in the world ( Read more... )
