Ok, I just had the best conversation with witchazel and pyro_manical.

Basically somehow we got on how I was cheating on sara with physics, and then somehow it got to how Hazel was on math team for a day, and how they math raped her, and it spiraled from there to... many many things, including burning hazel's house down.

Anyway, the real purpose of this entry is to reflect upon my year at school. Because I saw someone in my history class do it. I'll do it pros and cons, cons first I'll end it on a good note

Cons:
-Junior year existing
-Third term math and lack thereof
- I seriously did not do homework for a term. Like at all.
- AT ALL
-Third term in general
- failing out of honors physics
- being in the worst mental state of ever
- the junior thesis, just it and it existing and me fucking up with it
- did I mention the thesis?
- let's just reiterate the thesis
- thesis
- how could you forget the thesis? (hehe, this is like the Alex section of the history movie)
- My asshole french teacher
- being a bumbling wreck
- that gets two minus bulletpoints. GAH I AM STUPID.
- realizing I lack in motivation at all and will probably failing at life
- taking big steps in that direction
- did I mention fucking up my life?
- I stopped sleeping. Like, I stopped going to bed at hours I needed to in order to get sleep
- worst. year. ever.

Pros:
+ My friends. As always, they rocked
+ I'm alive, aren't I? I believe that was a goal
+ I managed not to fail History
+ AP03 represent, yo. Best history class ever
+ I had miss bloom again, that rocked
+ PHILOSOPHY CLUB <3333
+ Philosophy outings *cough* They get their own bullet point...
+ I managed to have a crush on someone. Yay?
+ I feel like I know more people in school now. Maybe that's not true, but it feels like it
+ Mock trial, and getting revenge on those Belmont Hill kids. Grrrarrr. There's a lot to love about Lynn (this is never not appropriate. I don't care if it's a freshman mock trial reference)
+ Veronica Mars, I love you so. Lost, you go here too.
+ I managed to rebound 4th term, to end up respectable
+ Certain people, with their goals, they got accomplished
+ Actually leaving the house some
+ MORNING FREES <3 I will miss you
+ MY GODS, I almost forgot: PATS. SUPER BOWL.
+ Red
+ Sox
+ World
+ Series
+ Championship!

So, it sucked. A lot. I'm glad it's over. But I guess, looking back, I had fun. Like, all the school parts sucked, and I sucked at them. They made me upset, which didn't make it better, mostly just worse. I got in some bad places. But there were good places, and I think there were more than I usually think about. I usually concentrate on the bad, and that's, well, bad.

What I learned:
80% of school is showing up. The other 20% is passing shit in on time.
Windows as study companions
NEVER FORGET THE WILMOT PROVISO
Thoreau sucks ass.
As does Hemingway.
Gatsby still rocks, even in school.
Math class is capable of being remotely fun. Math homework is not.
Physics really does suck.

Thanks to everyone. Even the ones who won't be reading this. Y'all kept me sane.

I had a LOVELY time today. Final Grades:

English - Unknown, but A- on fourth term and B(+?) on the final
Math - B w00t w00t
History - B also w00t w00t
Physics - B+ (I was a little disappointed with the B- on the final, but really, I hate physics)
Chinese - A
French - A

Then I went to Chinatown and it was AWESOME. We ate Dim Sum and then walked around. Green Tea Pocky is DISGUSTING btw. I thought it was going to be like green tea ice cream but it just tasted like the green tea pumpkin seeds Linda has. But we bought all sorts of other Pockies etc etc so it was cool.

[Poll #512960]

Abusing the poll function is fun.

(I have nothing against nerds, other than that they are smarter than me. In fact, I love them dearly)

As you can see, the Math Final went not as it should have. I should have worked out that body switching thing beforehand. This is what I get for not knowing dead mayors/not hanging around Area 51.

Ok, but here's what happened - I came in for my 8 o clock exam (Chinese), and then I realized, oh fuck, forgot my calculator and textbook. And proctor-man's all, "You must stay until 9:15" and I knew I wouldn't make it back in time. But I finished at like, 8:30 and begged to be let go, and ran home and got back. Phew.

Off to pretend to know Physics. Oh, and History. Why do we have a real history final? Completely defeats the purpose of AP.

SIX SONGS OF RIGHT NOW MEEEEME:
1. Ani Difranco - Untouchable Face

Blech, do it if you so wish.

Oh, and from theohara's VM virtual season two, which is awesome:

Veronica watches with a look of longing as a small group of Seniors walk by, carrying their caps and gowns.

Veronica (V/O):  So this is how it feels to watch your cellmate get paroled.  I didn't realize you could actually choke on envy.

Hehe, I feel like that sooooo much.

I just have to make it through tomorrow. Which includes a French triple. This might be the day I snap.

My two languages have their oral presentations tomorrow. Because the world hates me and wants me to suffer.

Our last History Class today. OMG it's so sad. Best history class ever.

So, I'm playing around with those funny ipod icons. Well, I made it weird

( icon, VM spoilers )

It's really, really fun. Like whoa.

I'm watching the West Wing marathon, because I can (Wednesday = Two Cathedrals. This is me reminding myself).

I'm also playing around with this LJ client. It might be fun. So far I uploaded that icon in about two seconds and copied the URL. This makes me happy.

School is sooo close to be over. I just have to take a physics test and a math test tomorrow, which I think I can handle. Hopefully. Physics tests are scary, and I sorta need to do well because my homework grade isn't really what it should be.

Yesterday, I went to graduation. Really nice ceremony. Speeches were lovely! Red Sox and Woodchucks! and Batman and Seuss. And FYI, when I hear "For Good" I pretty much always almost cry. The name reading was.. well, not the most interesting thing ever but I had people to yell for at almost every point in the alphabet so it kept my attention. Congradulations to all those who graduated who happen to be reading this!

Birthday party today. It was much fun. We played I never... to completely rip off all the TV shows (sans alcohol) I like. Much was revealed... Moo ha ha ha ha.

Some of us would have been pretty smashed by the end had we actually used alcohol. Because at some point it very much turned into "I never blamed a boar for all my problems".

Oo! and I finally own Kill Bill. This makes me happy. My DVD collection was seriously lacking in the Tarantino-age.

In the past day or so I've managed to read the entirety of Grapes of Wrath. Now I just have to write a paper *apprehension*. So if I'm online the next two days, yell at me, or something?

SAT Scores:
Verbal 690
Math 680
Writing 660

(I probably should have studied. Like, some. But it's alright, right? I don't have perspective on these things)

Aww, poor Carlos Zambrano has to cut down on his porn internet time.

Ooo! Today I've reached 1000 on my ipod. I officially deserve the 20 GB.

Philosophy was fun today. There was discussion. There was bitching about the Chosen. There was slash discussion.

OMG, btw, three tv characters that have died on my birthday:
Claire
Buffy (the gift)
and ( last night's desperate housewives )

(oh, and just_guessing made me a "is this because I'm a lesbian?" button. It's fuuun. Dick Wolf will never live that down.

So prom! I'm bulleting this because I suck at remembering things even though it was yesterday (and. um. a good percentage of today)

- Everyone was pretty. I <3 dresses.
- Jing's a slash fan? What? I thought she was afraid of gay people. But she's all, "Sam, I'm really disappointed in you. You didn't dance with Chris." Then I was all, "Yeah! I'm disappointed in you too!" because that would have made my night. Then she was trying to get Loosman to dance with Berg, also unsuccessful. She was like the just_guessing of straight guys. I'm the one with the button!
- We had a food fight at the table, and by food fight I mean that Jing was threatening people with melted ice cream and then pouring mint tins on Sam. And somehow a mint got into my bra. I'm really unsure how that happened. But it was really hard to not say, "Hey, this reminds me of this threesome fic I read recently. Although, it would have been par for the course with me.
- Strapless bras SUCK. Which I tried to whisper to yasmin discreetly, but I'm not such a discreet person, so it was a little loud and sam was all, "Um, yeah, totally."
- Grope!dancing is weird. And really strange to be in the middle of when you are not with anyone you wish to be groping. And when they are people you really, really don't want to see groping.
- just_guessing and I tried to get the DJ to play Wild Horses to be Buffy-like but they didn't have it and it was sad.
- More fun with mint tins - they looked like pills. Which looked really strange dissolving in drinks. Luckily, people were only drugging themselves. Wtih mints.
- My shoes made it through the night, on my feet. PWNED!
- After prom we went to Mimi's, which was fun
- The Laura, Jacob, Susie, Annie, etc group came for a limited amount of time, but made much progress in the Laura kissing girls department. And the omg my friends with dates are so cute department.
- Truth or Dare, which never fails to come up at any gathering of teenagers. And also never fails to end in crossdressing. Otherwise, we prank called ihop at 2:30 am, almost got masha to make out with Iris, most definately made yasmin and sam make out (they could have done better. damn modesty), aimee fell off a chair as we made her dance...
- the yasmin and sam dare was really funny, because everyone wanted them to make out, but yasmin was all yasmin glaring, and then someone's like, "you could just give him a peck," and then he's all, "I don't have to move, do I?" because he was lying on the floor so everyone's all, "oooooo" and then she just grabs him and kisses him full on. We are so proud of little Yasmin.
- IHOP prank call was also funny because Willy called them and was all, "I think I left my bra in your bathroom..."
- We watched some Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which never fails to pwn. Then at about 3 we started American Beauty, which, um, trippy on very little sleep
- Foosball is fun, even when you get beaten really really badly.
- Much fun was made of the fact that Jing is in love with Eli. But Jing's in love with everyone, really.
- It's incredibly fun to do normal things in pretty dresses. All the tuxes kind of got diluted by the end of the night, but everyone but Mimi and Mindy kept their dresses on (um, and they did put other clothes on)
- Got home at 4, collapsed until 10, very tired but so happy.
- I kinda wish I had wrath of con on my computer. Damn, I need VM DVDs nowish.

SO! I probably didn't fail the AP US test. Go me?

However, I'm tired, and I have to take the SAT tomorrow. This? Not one of my brighter ideas. There's always the next round.

Bleh. Nothing happens in my life when everyone is too busy working. Me, busy working. What is this world coming to?

By the way:

You scored as You are truly Asian. Konichiwa! Our fortune cookie tells us that you are truly an Asian! Grab those Jackie Chan movies, you've already done enough homwwork for one night! </td> You are truly Asian 63% You are Truly Jewish 63% You are truly Black 50% You are truly White 38% You are truly a Mexican 0% What's your true race created with QuizFarm.com

Clearly, clearly I've lived in this town too long. Because I'm turning into it's ethnic groups.

Btw, I'm really wondering where I went wrong male wise. I'm talking fandom here. I used to be able to resist the allure of the Spikes of the world, suddenly I'm all over Logan and Sawyer. It's just not like me.

Mock Trial end of the year dinner thing was THE UBER FUN. REALLY. We had a blast, and I miss it already.

Tomorrow is a half day because of Good Friday. Which is good, because NO MATH! I have tons of work this weekend but oh well, I'm taking the night off.

Personal essay though >.> You have no idea how much I hate personal essays. The bane of my existence. That'll be Sunday at midnight....

Other than that, I have like, history, and math, and lots of shiiiiit.

I'm uber tired now. And I'm kinda getting allergy-y.
