This week has been very exhausting. Every day I get up, feeling like I haven't gotten enough sleep. It's true I do get about 7 hours each night, but nevertheless it takes a lot out of me. When the end of the day comes, I feel totally burnt out, half asleep, half giggly from being tired. It's a terrible feeling. I get back home and down some ( Read more... )

The weeks have been going by very, very fast. Monday through Friday seems to happen in one moment. Weekends seem back to back, with a little in between. I don't know about everyone else, but my weeks have been flying by. My sister introduced a decent theory, a first if you can believe it. She said that because we're accustomed to high school ( Read more... )

For HAL, we had to write a poem about the stereotypes another person may find about ourselves. I felt pretty good about my poem, in part because I never knew I was capable of writing poetry. Here's my poem ( Read more... )

Since it's the beginning of the year, it seems like our classes are telling us the same thing: be an individual. I almost hate hearing it because it's pounded into us. The way people tell you to be yourself, find yourself, forge a new person-this rhetoric gets very old very fast. It might be true, it might even be the best suggestion we've ever ( Read more... )

Today is the last day of summer. It's not even a full day for that matter because i'll have to go to sleep early and wake up tomorrow for the dreadful day that awaits. Don't get me wrong, school has its advantages such as being able to see people you haven't seen all summer, but with it marks the end of one of the greatest summers I have ever ( Read more... )

Poker has become the new thing to do among my friends and I. Everyday this week a game has gone on, making each night the night to make something happen, to win the pot, to take home the gold. Poker in itself is quite fun and a good thing to do with one's friends. However, 6 games in a week seems a bit excessive, even if it is a good way to hang ( Read more... )

It's been a while since i've actually updated anything. I thought I might make my life a bit more interesting and start updating once or twice a week. So...all that's happened since...I can't really say anything is new. About swords, i was thinking of a unit name for us noobs : Giarc Retlaw. You may ask, "WTF does this mean?" I'll tell you ( Read more... )

This idea of progress in AP US History makes me feel good because it's like a debate topic. In debate, to weigh the round, you have things called standards. The set of standards is how you measure things. You have a value and a criterion. The value is something that you think is good. In itself it is a subjective matter in the real world, but ( Read more... )
