Travel Diary: Vatican Observatory
Last Wed, Fran and I left Notre Dame for the Vatican Observatory in Arizona. The 4 hour plane ride was rather uninteresting and I played Fire emblem the entire way. I've failed to train my units properly and despite my best efforts, I could not defeat level 22.... so I'm starting over ( Read more... ) -

Forever and a day
The rest of the flight to Chicago was relatively uneventful I managed to fall asleep soon after takeoff and waking up just in time to get a can of sprite. The flight to South Bend, when taken the time change into consideration is only 17 minutes. This was a pleasant surprise since I was expecting it to be over an hour long. We ( Read more... ) -
In the memory of all those who died.

It's almost a week since the ( Read more... ) -

It was fun shopping with Crystal and meeting Samatha and Wang Yi to pick out a cake for Aini. She wanted to pick an icecream cake, but we had to repeatly remind her that we have no way of ( Read more... ) -

First day of break
Yes, I fell off the face of LJ and just found my way back today. Lots happened, and a few things should be mentioned:
1. I got accepted into MSU with a scholarship of $10,000 overall for 4 years. meh, whatever. I highly doubt I will go there.
2. My Princeton application got deferred. *fingers crossed*
3. Opera poster is submitted. *fingers crossed*

There is a broadcasting program of pirate songs on Filk for Talk Like a Pirate Day! That just made my day. I'm actually surprise how many songs there are about pirates.
Can't wait until Tuesday. I'm going to attempt to look somewhat like a pirate (aka: black scarf or the pirate hat looking thing I got at the Pirates of the Caribbeans premier).

Yay! I got my locker today in Senior Hall. It's S325.
Just wondering if anyone wish to switch out of Hannula's 8 period AP Psych. I am doubtful, but I can still hope, even with the long waiting list. I will post my class schedule as soon as I find it again.
