Tired fron SF...

Collins and I were up till 1 am doing sci fair, but I guess it was a fun experience. We were tired the entire day at school, he even told me he fell asleeep in stats. We got Model UN countries, I'm doing Belarus: World Health. I'm sleepy....I'll tell my story then go to finish hw....then sleep...

Funny thing of the Day: In AP Stats we were learning how to use the nPr command. Andrew and I start experimenting with different functions and graphs, trying to make a smooth curve out of the functon. I tend to get loud when I am exited, so when I tell Andrew about my evaluation of the function I interrupt Ms. Berkeley.
Ms. Berkeley: "What are you guys doing back there that is so important you can't pay attention to my lesson?"
Me: "Messing around..."
(Everyone starts laughing)
Me: "...with our calculators"

Sci Fair Day 2

Well its 11 and Chris aint here...I guess I'll just play Battlefront until he gets here...

Funny thing of the day: My mom and I go to a lab party, where there is a large fire burning behind infront of the grill. Professor Jef tells me to get some firewood from the back to put on the fire. I walk into his backyard, and I can not find the wood anywhere. As a cold wind blows, I cover every corner of the backyard looking for anything resembling firewood; only finding sticks and leaves. I go back in to tell him that I cannot find any wood. When I walk up next to him at the grill, I see the stack of firewood...next to the back of the grill.....

Sci Fair Day 1

Well, Chris and I have started the glorious journey through Science Fair. We prepped all our extracts today, and we are done. I mean for the night, as tomorrow we have all sorts of "ill shit" to do. Well, off to sleep/ make a sealed deck.

Random Funny Thing of Day:
Chris came over for Science Fair. My mom wanted to feed us, but he told her he was fine as we had dinner at robotics. Nonetheless, my mom came out with a three-course meal after we were done Science Fair. After a weekend at my house, maybe Chris will get fat...

Hotel Rwanda

Wow, that movie hits you hard...I was depressed for a while about man's ability to hurt others, but I eventually became distracted by robotics. This was actually good for me, as I really felt messed up seeing the scene where children are massacred. Well, as Collins said the engineers have made their design for the robo, and Mike trashed my idea. I mean he literally picked it up and threw it on the floor. Well I'll just go back to CADding up random parts to look busy. This is sorta a waste of my time...Well at least i was able to use the formula v=d/t when talking to a physics minor...

Funny thing of the Day: Elan got into Hopkins and wants to major in physics(based in astronomy maybe?). Today the engineers all stood around talking bout their college experience. Each one agreed that while they were drawn to physics, they realized that only if they got a degree in Engineering could they be decently employed.Physics was a "worthless" degree, as research was a limited career, and required a Phd.

Elan's response to this: "Way to shatter my hopes and dreams!!! Jerks!!!"

Autodesk...

Sometimes, Robotics can be such a waste of time. Today, we had to install Autodesk three times before we got it working. We are spending days making a prototype that the engineers are probably going to say we should scrap. And leadership is sorta not there...

Funny thing of the Day:
Joe IMs me , and we start talkling about colleges...Eventually ending up at a discussion of our artistic abilities.
"Joe: Never really was an artist
Me: I am a decent one...the term decent used loosely of course
Joe: Dude you're definitely not much better than me, if better at all...no offense lol
Me: Term "decent" was used as loose as Elan
Joe: ouch
Me: I find that similie hilarious, if not at least offensive"

New Semester...

New Semester started today...Now I have health instead of Diff Eq. This means I have to go to homeroom with Hannan rather than Allen, which is sort of disappointing. Electricity and Magnetism is a little more confusing than Mechanics, but Physics is still making sense. Well got to go finish problems Dr. Ipp gave out....

Funny Random Conversation of the Day:
(Elan and Mia sit next to each other in AP Psych..)
Elan: Well, I'm a card carrrying Democrat...
Mia: Democrats are wayyy to conservative for me.
(Elan looks at her slightly shocked)
Mia: That's why I'm a member of the Green Party.
Elan(aside): Like they'll ever get power in the government...

Steelers win...ugh...

Watched the Broncos lose to the Steelers today, that was not a pretty loss. I mean Plummer throwing two interceptions at key moments in the game was pretty bad for Denver. What's hilarious is I called the plays that the Broncos threw those interceptions. Well, I guess Malta and wings take away the taste of defeat. That and making a half-court shot in fifty.

Funny Thing of the Day: Yohance's mom tells him to change the outside lightbulb on their house. No big problem right? Well, you see this bulb is like 14 feet in the air, and next to the lower part of the roof, making it difficult to lean a ladder by it. So we borrow a ladder from Shawn and Yohance climbs up the ladder, onto the roof, and starts to unscrew the lightbulb. As I wait for him to unscrew the lightbulb(which takes him a whole ten minutes), I start thinking about what I can do to be helpful. I remember that we have to carry the ladder back to Shawn's house, so i pick it up and start carrying it there. When I walk down Yohance's driveway, I hear him scream: "How the hell am I supposed to get down!"

Guildpact Prerelease

After doing work on Sci-fair with Collins, we decided that we should go to the Guildpact pre-release. You know, a little drafting, a little sealed deck. My Izzet deck did decently, getting me a 2-1-1 rating. I drafted a really controlling Orzov deck with tons of discard, but mana screw meant i was knocked out at second round(How this happens with 17 lands in a 40 card deck?, i dunno). I randomly also got like 3 packs for a raffle. I just opened those three packs, and I got an Electrolyze in each one. So, what this magic talk means is....Lady Luck is my friend today!

Funny Thing of the Day: I open my first booster...Niz Mizzet!!
So i take all the red and blue cards i have, and make a deck for the limited event, without paying attention to the other colors. Only after I go 2-1-1 does Collins look at my card pool. He strarts reading to himself..
"Mortify...Blind Hunter...Two Pillorys...Moonlight Bargain...Did you even look at these, you had a black and white deck in here that would have been really good!"
My love for dragons cost me a better record....

BattleFront

Well Robotics is fun, especially when leadership calls up a meeting. We spent like 30 mins hearing this lecture on the importance of not missing meetings. The most ironic part, the Vice President was not there, and the President came late to the meeting. Mike stood up and walked out halfway during the waste of time; As he walked out of the room Dori was threatening to kick him off the team. Robotics kills me sometimes. Yeah, that was pretty much a copy of Holden's language. If you haven't read Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" do so, it is a great book, that is pretty funny.

Well off to level in Lineage 2...

Random funny thing of the Day: Chris is playing Battlefront II, and has finally gotten to be mace Windu after single handedly stopping his team from losing. Oliver randomly tells Chris to turn around and use force push. Chris ignores him as he sneaks up on this rocket trooper that has no idea that Chris is about to kill him. Out of nowhere a Darth Maul comes up and kills Chris in a flurry of saber slashes. Chris's team loses their last Outpost and the match ends. Oliver shouts out, "God you are such a Noob, I told you what to do!". To this day Chris blames the fact that he was "out of the zone", rather than him ignoring good advice, to be the thing that caused him to lose.

You won't find anything....

The events of today's robotics meeting were hilarious, Joey was laughing so hard that he almost fell over laughing. Let's just say it involved some one searching another person's history, and the phrase "You won't find anything bad on there...".

Random Funny thing of the Day(Past):
For AP English, we had to read Elliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". Then we had a journal entry to do, meaning everyone was online at 1am doing it. Someone not in APEng asked Chris why we were all on so late.

"We Pruf-rocking!"

Pic

Ugh, I had to get a photobucket account to get this pic. Of course, I could not let my legions of followers be disappointed.

Here's a better pic so you can set it as your background. I know, thank me later.

Bloggin' like a villian

Well, seeing Joe looking up all those college blogs got me interested in the entire thing. I hope that this doesn't degenerate into crazy rants or the such. Lets begin today with a sonnet:

A cruel, wicked master is what Love is,
And so are all these complex tasks of his.
Like a Pharaoh’s worthless servant am I,
Who is given the task: to touch the sky.

A wonderful beauty he lets me see,
Her warm presence is the bright sun to me.
And I the weak withered flower that needs,
Shining bright light to rise above the weeds.

But yet remains my heart worried and so afraid,
My words shower my love like some cascade,
And thus it cause her to reject my hope.
With all things gone I know not how I’ll cope.

Sitting in her shadow, I see her breathe,
But my wild tongue, I dare not him unsheathe.
-Big D

Man, I do sound like a bitter little man sometimes. Most of the time. Always. But at least my poetry is in iambic pentameter(no one tell me otherwise). Well I'm off to do IRP crap.

Random Funny Thing of the Day:
In robotics I found this peice of 2x4. I wrote something then gave it to Joe. He gave a slight smirk and threw it on the table. Chris on the other hand started laughing his ass off after he saw it. What did it say?
"This is a peice of Wood. It is to replace what is missing from your pants."
