Days of My Life

我 想 去 跑 步。

is what I have been reading for the past couple of hours. So far, it's an excellent book. What happens in it, however, is quite the contrary. I suppose that that's what makes it so good: the fact that it can evoke such strong emotions in the reader even though it's not reality. I can't wait to continue and then finish it so I can get on with my life already, haha. I haven't read for pleasure since...well, a LONG, LONG time ago. Quite a shame, yes. Hopefully I will be able to put aside enough...I mean, ample time to read this summer. (We all know spring break is going to be full of study, study, study, right?) Earth Hour was (is?) today. For those of you who haven't read the Yahoo! article or watched the news, it's a one-hour event during which cities around the world "flip the switch and get turned off," as this particular newscaster is saying. Wow, who ever knew that this event is so celebratory? I am currently watching a news session on channel 1...

I really want to go run. People are bailing on me.

I do not intend to tip-toe through life only to arrive safely at death. ...And in the end, everyone turns out to be the person they swore they'd never become.

Yeah, you should listen to that song, written by Ne-Yo for a female singer but actually sung be the genius himself. Pure excellence, I tell you. Ne-Yo is fantastic--or, as Mrs. L often says--fantabulous. "Fantabulous" coming from an AP English teacher: go figure. I keep not feeling like doing homework. This putting off to-do things is really bad, I realize that. But then I told myself I'd continue with my history storybook after finally doing this. So today was the semi-dreaded 10K run. It actually wasn't that bad. It was a lot better than the last 10K around Chinatown, though, because this one's path was flat the entire way, as opposed to (steep) hills up and down in the previous one. Because of the lack of hills and such, I finished almost fifteen minutes faster. Yay! But yeah, I never want to go to USC. Unlike many students, I neither aspire to attend nor enjoy the school. For one simple primary reason: it is FAR TOO CLOSE to home! Seriously, there is only a te...

I've been sitting here for the past hour, not doing anything in particular. Certainly nothing pertaining to school or homework. Perhaps that is why I feel so unstressed at the moment. Although tired--very, very tired. I need zinc and vitamin C: my immune system has been starting to betray me, dagnabbit. And if you 're sick, STOP IT! Please? Haha, I'm just kidding. I obviously cannot force people to not be sick. Even doctors can't, and I am far, far from becoming one. Listening to music on (my playlist on) Youtube has become one of my favorite pastimes. Guess what? I'm doing it now! Well, I have been doing it for the past hour. I will start calc homework after this. I will. Caculus homework breaks my heart. This chapter on sequences and series is so devastatingly frightening and incomprehensible to my merely human and humble brain. But really, though, who cares about the sum of an infinite series?! And if it's infinite, how can you have a finite sum? Goodness gr...

Let down your guard And show me your colors Don't fight it anymore Show me you're with me Open your arms I'm not like the others So don't fight it anymore, no What will it take for me to make you see I'm not your enemy I ran earlier today, and then my upper right arm felt kind of really sore afterward. Afterward, I showered and now I'm watching "CSI: NY" while doing this and listening to music. Multitasking is such good (mental) exercise. Surprisingly, I woke up at 11:34 this morning, the latest I have slept in since summer. I would and could have slept for another hour or so if somebody hadn't called me at that time, darn it. Then I just ate lunch about half an hour later, did chem until three, took a short break, then ran and all that. After this show, I shall do either the lab or finish up the calc worksheets I took so long to do during each second period. As for that Deca interview packet, I shall just neglect it until whenever because the ques...

It is currently 10:17 p.m. and I am exhausted. I must be getting old far too quickly at this age (ha). I just finished up a chapter outline and concept questions for chemistry, and surprisingly but not unpleasantly, I actually understand everything! Now there's something new to grasp. Now I am looking to start on the flyer for Deca for College Fest or whatever the heck I am supposed to do for them. Northwestern U. We shall see. What the heck? Northwestern is like, Washington or Oregon or whatever. I guess the founders of "Northwestern" University were too familiar with geography. Mrs. J wasn't here again today. I hope she's okay, because I'm actually starting to miss her. Plus, this section of sequences is blasphemously and unconstitutionally perplexing. After having been absent Friday and yesterday, Mrs. L returned today as her usual self, which, contrary to popular opinion, isn't quite a bad thing; I don't understand the reason(s) for the incessant c...

What did we ever do to deserve to lose an entire hour of our day? I know what we did: we gave ourselves an extra hour way back in October. Darn it. Oh, well. At least now the sun will be out for longer. Only seemingly, though, since the sun is technically out for the same amount of time--it's simply at a different time. Science is so...intricate and complex. At the moment, I feel completely empty. Emotionally, that is. Physically, not so much since I just had dinner. I feel emotionally drained right now is what I should have stated in the beginning of this paragraph, though I suppose that this is still the beginning, but whatever. Like I often do nowadays, I wish I could just sleep the night away without any academic worries or anything. Ha, as if. I can't wait for college, during which I can actually arrange my own schedule (or lack thereof, if I'd like) and sleep whenever I want. Gosh darn it. And I'm tired even though I haven't done anything but walk and sit toda...

Happy March 1, 2009. I hope you enjoyed the first day of this month for this year, because it won't come by again. Only about a minute ago did I realize it's now March. Take this as my recognition. Have a happy March and enjoy this gorgeous semi-spring weather, whoever you are. :)
