| The Very Last PostWell, after three years, this xanga's run is finally over. Please head over to this (not very) cool/cynical xanga
to check it out. I'll still be logging on here to read subs or post
comments or other fun things like that, but as I've mentioned, no
regular updates or anything of that sort. It's been real fun and I like
xanga a lot, or more than myspace at least. So yeah, that would be all for now. See ya' on the other side!

| Almost The Very Last PostI guess the workload isn't as bad as I thought. Eichsteadt has given me
until Thursday to catch up on about three or four homework assignments
and make up a quiz, so that's kind of nice. I didn't really miss
anything in Euro either, which is also a good thing. So basically I
just have a crapload of math in addition to the regular stuff, so I'm
pretty pleased with that. It likely won't be an all-nighter tonight
like I feared. Except that I haven't really started working on
anything. Oh boy.
I actually felt pretty good today. I don't know, but it felt like I was
returning to normal (well, normal for me) in many aspects, which is
kind of nice. I'm still not feeling 100% physically so I missed our
match today, but I'm definitely planning on being back for our home
match against Irvine tomorrow. If nothing else, I'll get to eat some
snacks, which pretty much rules. Hopefully the rest of this week won't
be too stressful or anything, and it'll be an enjoyable pre-spring
break week.
Oh my, the AP test does seem to be creeping up. It's weird that it's
only three weeks away from this Friday. I really don't feel like it's
been that long in that class. *sigh* I don't know if I'll be prepared.
I guess it would be a good time to start reviewing, but I don't think
I'll start really preparing until next week. We've got a practice one
this Friday so I guess I'll see how that goes as sort of a gauge of
where I am. It'll be a big disappointment if I don't pass it since
that's pretty much the only reason you would take an AP class. But
yeah, we'll see how that goes.
Sean Avery needs to shut up. The Kings aren't going to make it to the
playoffs, and even if they were, they've already got Jeremy Roenick
who's a far superior trash talker and hockey player. I'm glad that
Ducks' color commentator Brian Hayward didn't take the high road and
ignore Avery when he insulted his playing abilities: "How would you know? When I played you were in your third year of eighth grade."
So yes, tomorrow is the day I make a new xanga. I still have no idea
what it'll be called, but you can pretty much expect random stuff from
me as usual. It's kind of weird that this has been around since 2003.
That was what...middle of 7th grade for me? It's a bit odd since 7th
grade seems like it's been longer past than 2003, so I don't know how
that works. I'll still come back to this xanga to check subs and stuff
like that, but as far as active posting, those days are pretty much
over. I think I'll keep a mini-archive linking to specific posts for my
own personal reference. I doubt I'll post that up since I don't think
anyone else would have a use for it, but I guess it'll be nice to look
through my xanga again and see what's happened in the past three years.
It's been weird, I'll say that right now, but it's been fun as well and
I hope the next xanga will be much the same.

| UntitledI was going to delay this until tomorrow, but what the heck, I feel like writing in this thing tonight.
Convention turned out to be more than, yet at the same time exactly
what I was expecting. I had an idea in my head how most of the time at
the convention would play out like what I'd be doing and the kind of
people that would be there, but it actually ended up being quite
different which was a pleasant surprise. For one thing, instead of
heckling at the people during Rent-A-Roman, one of the things I've
pretty much been doing at each convention, I was waiting at the sight
reading room after which I got lunch while walking completely around
the Rent-A-Roman area. Sight reading was, just for the record, a
complete bust. Anyway, yeah, so that was pretty fun. But it was also
just what I had in mind when I was thinking that I would enjoy the
convention part but not so much all the other things. I think it might
have been the organization that was present at convention that helped.
The bus ride and all the stuff at the hotel just seemed...I don't know,
not very interesting. Maybe it was because I wasn't feeling completely
better, but I just wanted to sit and/or lay there and do nothing. I
don't know, that's pretty much how it all went. I just read this over
and it was kind of confusing. Oh well, maybe you'll be able to make
some sense of it.
As far as results, we did alright as a school. EDIT: I must have heard
wrong because we did get first overall. Yay! I placed in the
two tests I took, which was nice although I was expecting something
better in reading comp (3rd) and something worse in vocab (1st) so I
guess things have an interesting way of working themselves out. But
yeah, that was about all for me, except I guess I did help out
(briefly) on the scrapbook which placed as well, but I wasn't listed on
the committee since all I did was just cut out pages. Whatever, it was
a fun time.
One thing going up to Orinda certainly didn't help with was my health,
and I definitely don't feel any better, but I also don't really feel
any worse, which is nice. My fever's gone but I'm pretty congested and
I've got a cough too, so I don't think I'm going to play in our match
tomorrow, which is actually pretty good considering all of the homework
I have to make up, not to mention a presentation Graham and I have to
start and finish tomorrow. I'm not too stressed out about the work
though. If anything I'll have one loooooooong night tomorrow but then I
should be good after that. We'll see.
I don't really know what's going on, but recently I've felt kind
of...sad, I guess would be the best way for me to describe it. It's
almost like I want to spontaneously start crying for no reason. Well,
maybe I wouldn't go so far as to say I would be brought to tears, but
it's something where I just feel sad. I'm looking for another word so
that my english doesn't look completely retarded, but I can't really
think of any other one that would describe what I'm trying to convey.
Despair seems too strong and out of context, miserable isn't what I'm
going for, and bereaved is just...no, but sad just kind of seems to fit
my mood right now. I'm not entirely sure who/what I'm sad for/about and
even if I was, I'm not entirely sure I'd be comfortable talking about
it with everyone. I just feel like I have less vitality, like I'm being
less upbeat. But I don't know, maybe I'm just sad because I'm tired. I
am sad that I'm tired though. I think I want to sleep. I think I'm
going to go to sleep right now. What a great plan.

| Boy oh boy, don't I feel grrrrrrrrrrreat today.Yeah, I thought I would be feeling well enough to go back to school
today, but apparently that is not the case. I don't know, the prospect
of missing three days of school is kind of daunting, since that's
pretty much what happened when I was in DC and those three days were
easier too since they were right after the semester break and they
still killed me. Oh well. It's kind of disappointing that I might not
be able to go to convention after all if I don't get better by
tomorrow. I'm trying to stay positive though, so I don't know, we'll
see how it goes. I'd really only be missing out on the money we already
paid I guess, and the whole experience up there, but there will be
more. Praying that I can get better for convention, but if not, it's
not the end of the world. I hope it's a good time for everyone who goes.
I did manage to find a download of that Fort Minor mixtape We Major and
I've been enjoying it, although I don't think it's better than the
album. There are some guys I like on the mixtape who aren't on the
album such as Apathy, Juelz Santana and Celph Titled, who actually did appear on the
Rising Tied, but only briefly on the short track "The Battle." It's a
pretty interesting 19 track (or less if you don't count the intro and
outro and songs that also appear on the album) mixtape, so I'm pretty
glad I found it. Yeah, I guess just ask if you want the link or
whatever. But for now, it's back to the bed for me.
5 days until a new xanga. Still no name for it.
