I'm good, you're good

I tried covering my face with my mug so your eyes don't bleed. By the way, my mug says TAIWAN in really big letters. Just thought that would make you jealous.

So school is good, the classes aren't that hard and the teachers are pretty decent. There are some odd characters in my classes - like the 19 year old who's engaged in my ANTH class, and the 70 year old Santa Claus in my business class, not to mention the chubby kid who insults the professor even though he's within hearing range.

The classes are run by the quarter system, which is so fast paced, you practically have to be a NINJA to keep up. This also gives some structure to your day as your daily checklist looks something like this:

1- Wake Up
2 - HOME WORK
3 - Eat. Maybe?
4 - MORE HOME WORK
5 - Sleep
6 - Wait, DON'T sleep. Silly me, just more homework
7 - Turn in HOMEWORK
8- Weep tears of blood because you are so happy you turned it in


Seriously though, I really do like my subjects and having to move quickly; it makes me feel powerful and in control of my life. 

Not unlike when I was a kid and I would destroy a whole Lego-town, booming, "PREPARE TO MEET THY MAKER, WORMS!"

(jeez, kid, get a JOB why don't you?)

Now, some pictures.

Ok, now to BLOW YOUR MIND:
That used to be a jar of pickles.
I WISH I was kidding)

Well, that's all for today. I guess I'm officially contact-able again.

Be safe, eat fruit, and don't stick keys into electrical sockets. Just. Don't.

Back Online

My laptop died last week. Now with the new computer installed and running, I can once again entertain you all with tales of my life.

BEHOLD!

More to come later. I have to write my Business paper first.

I Give School a Black Eye

And then it punches me back.

This quarter I'm taking Business, Anthropology/Linguistics, and Logic. The homework is almost the same pace as IB, except no one's doing it. Oh wait, that's still the same....

I like my Anthropology and Business teachers, but my Logic teacher.....nyaaaaaaah. Or maybe I'm starting to hate logic. I need to bring out my AK-47 and gun it down with my intellect.

But for right now, it seems like I'm out of bullets. (get it? ha ha ha)

PEACE y'all

Happy Happy New Year

On the eve of New Year, I have much to be thankful for:

1) Dad has arrived in Seattle. I think this must be my New Year's gift. He's already cracked 4 bad jokes and argued with my mother about their stocks.

2) Geoffrey gave me a Christmas gift, even though I didn't get him one (yiiikes) - they are HEADPHONES FROM HEAVEN. (ThankyouGeoffrey,youareaconsiderateandlovingbrother)

FEAST YOUR EYES:




3) We have a new house - ready for development and change. This is JUST like playing "house" in kindergarden.

4) Our family is safe and healthy.

5) I have people who say they love me - and I reaalllly can not ask more than that.

With that, I hope everyone had a good Christmas and will have an even better New Year.

With all my affection I say to you: be safe, eat fruit, and remember to flush.
