I apologize in advance for the geekiness that follows. You have been warned.

First off was the U of M programming competition. Six hundred dollars in actual cash if we won... the only competition MHS participates in that gives out cash. It was MHS's first year and we were the only public school there so we weren't expecting to do too well ( Read more... )

I don't feel like starting all my makeup work or talking about California(fun but I sucked up the competitions... there, done), so I took this from Autumn ( Read more... )

I think I'm gonna retreat into myself for a while. I don't feel happy hanging out with people anymore; I am inundated by feelings of alienation, inferiority, isolation, and resentment that I can't say anything intelligent or witty in the presence of others any more.

Alex and I played some guitar but he's a ton better than me so I only actually played for about 15 minutes out of the 2 hrs. After that got old we drove around and ended up at the LAN party. Fridays aren't Friday w/o the girls ( Read more... )

Half-Day today. Fun but strangely depressing. I ended up with a lot of time just sitting there so I ended up thinking. Which is always depressing.

Some would call me a cynic. I disagree with that. I believe I am an idealist in a state of continued disenchantment with the world.

Nice slow week so far... I haven't touched my backpack since last Friday. Kinda busy in terms of extracurriculars though, so its been kinda fun. Taekwondo was really easy today though so I didn't get the workout I wanted.

So taht's what I get for falling asleep during the SAT. I have never done that poorly on a Critical Reading Section and my writing sucked too. AND I didn't get perfect on math. There's a retake and a half and I can't cancel my score either. Well... There's always June.

Week is over. Finally. I've been on less than 10 hrs of sleep total in the last 4 days... needless to say the week has been really hard on me. I'm gonna spend all of break recovering from this week ( Read more... )

We lost the programming competition. At least I won 3 t-shirts. And I still have another year...
