New Years Eve

While all of you are our partying, I'm stuck here at home with my parents since all of my close friends have plans that don't include me. Oh well. I'll just drown my sorrows, j/k, in the most wonderful thing in the world to drink. Sparkling Grape Juice! Since I'm not old enough for alcohol i wouldn't know how any of those beverages taste. That and today has been going by so slowly. *sigh*

I do though have plans tomorrow to hang out with some friends. And it will be cold. It is below freezing here right now so I'm glad i have new boots!
As a side note that only a few friends will get. Grey Badge of Courage.
So, it sounds like tomorrow will be great. And i can remember to bring my camera and actually USE it. As stated in my previous blurb, I want to use my camera so i can have more pictures of good memories. Then I can blog about things and actually have pictures to go along with it!

So y'all have a good new year.

I Need to Take More Pictures

Like the title says, I think i need to take more pictures. More stored memories.

What a long time

My my... What a long time its been. I think I'll try to post more, not that I get many readers. LOL Oh well.

Christmas went great I got 10ish books. Finished off one series and almost another. I got a coffee pot, for the semi-rare occasion that I desire coffee, as well as the stuff that goes along with it, filters,etc. I got a nice sweater. And I got a Statler Brothers CD. Happy day. I doubt that <.1% of the people who will ever read this even know who they are. FYI they are an old country/gospel group. They are my second favorite band behind Garth Brooks.

College has gone pretty well so far, 2As, an A-, and a B+. No surprise that the B+ was in my freshman tutorial, the final was a paper. Yuck. You should know how much I hate those. My next semester should be a bit more busy

Weber and Karfunkel now has a couple new members and is going to get a name change. Maybe something more original. I can't wait to hear a song with all of them.

Well, the rest of break after Christmas certainly has been interesting. Well actually these last couple days. I've been slightly depressed. So what do i do? Read slightly depressing, and good, fiction on fictionpress and fanfiction.net as well as listen to slightly depressing music. *sarcasm* How ingenious! */sarcasm* I've thinking about someone I consider my better half. We are close friends but I haven't gotten to see her/him much on breaks or have any contact with him/her while we're at college.  It's complicated as to why that's the case. Not really but I'm not saying since he/she knows about this blog. You never know when a friend might stumble back upon this. If any visit. We'll basically I'm depressed since I want to see her/him. Sometimes I wish I could tell him/her how much she/he means to me. I feel incomplete without him/her. But sadly that would ruin our relationship, well its a 99.99999999999999....% chance. Well technically that actually says 100% but whatever, let's just to say the chances are slimmest to none. I don't have any feeling feelings for her/him .... I think .... maybe I'm just dependent on him/her. It was interesting, during the one time we met during thanksgiving break, she/he wanted to make sure I had actually made friends and said something along the lines of can't cling to everybody in the past. Kind of makes me feel like he/she doesn't feel the same as I do. Like I said, must be a bit dependent on her/him. It makes sense to me. I mean he/she was slightly dependent on me, albeit it was just academically, unlike my emotional one.
Random note: see if I can get Kyle to take me up flying again. FUN!
Back to my earlier discussion, ... I don't know what to think. Or do for that matter. I... oh well. Think happier thoughts!

So I'm gonna end this before I think of something else to continue with. It's already really long. TTY'all later.

College Days

College has been quite busy and quite fun. Edits later!

[Edit] Sat. 9:23 AM

Its the weekend!

My Classes:

Mth 112 Calc II Somewhat easy
Chem 111 Gen Chem Somewhat easy
Chem 111 Lab Somewhat harder than the lecture
Csc 101 Intro to ComSci Boring but at leat now were getting into somthing interesting
FRT-01A Freshman Tutorial Fun!

I have to say i love it here.

I got one job for my ESH but its 5.5 hours if i get the hours i want. I applied for another job since i need to get 14 hours a week.

Look what i made

I was browsing through the NPC with Jobs forums, and i was inspired to create this.



Do you know what it is? :P Think math.

It's been a while.

It been a while since i posted but nothing much has happened. Work will be crazy today. Its the day after the full moon. We get in some interesting people those days. I'm not joking. My truck was acting up, didn't want to start, but its been OK since that one day. The fair was last week and the demo went pretty good. One of my sisters friends got 5th place.
The AP test results came in and I got a five in Calc and a four in Bio.

Hell week at the DMV

Yeah. Its hell week at the DMV. Stupid end of the fiscal year.
Its the busiest month and everyone waits till the very end to get their licence renewal stickers. and the always come on Tuesdays and Saturdays towards the end. Wednesday is a nice day to come in. as well as Tuesday and Friday.

And i got a pic for you all from my trip flying.


To Wal-mart tomorrow to print pictures.

Flying

Yeah! Kyle finally took me up flying today and it was a blast. I forgot my camera so i borrowed him. I'm waiting for him to e-mail me the pics. It was a blast.

Kyle leaves on the 25th, two days from now. Well basically one since its just past 11. Both he and his girlfriend are going to the Air Force Academy, AFA. Lucky them. :) I hope they have lots of fun. I hope both Kyle and I have a few similar days off for thanksgiving vacation so we can do some stuff. Who know what new crazy things he will have learned. :)

I'm going to miss him a lot. We had such fun today. I think of him as my almost better other half. I so beat him in calculus. :P

Vacation!

8:43PM
Yeah so we got back from vacation and it was fun. today i also just started my new job.

7:25 PM Wendsay.
ok. So my second day was a lot slower than the first. i only did say 150 stickers today unlike yesterday's 300ish probably and the million things to do with titles. For those who don't know. I work at a secretary of states office "DMV". I do mostly renewal stickers as of now.

BTW i'll get pictures of my vacation up soon.

Graduation!

10:05 AM
Yeah! I am now officially out of high school! I was so nervous giving my speech but apparently you couldn't notice it. My party was pretty good and then i went out and met some friends and we talked for awhile. It was a fun night.

AP Calculus II

Well it wasn't as bad as a thought. I think i defiantly got a 5.

AP Calculus

7:17PM
The AP Calc test is tommorrow. I hope I do good. I wnat a 5.
I'm a bit nervous

Mushrooms!

9:53PM
This weekend was fun. I does though remind me of in the movie of The Fellowship of the Ring when the hobbits found the mushrooms. We found mostly grays and a few yellows in one spot. This weekend should be a good weekend. But in other news, the AP Calc test is in two days. The AP bio is next Monday. Wow. I looks like I'm going to be valedictorian but we won't know until after the finals. I don't want to give a speech. I hate giving speeches. Oh well.
I might also get to go flying either tomorrow or Thursday. Either doesn't matter. Though i hope Thursday just because it isn't the day before the AP Calc test but if we go then one of my friends can't go so. its quandary. But truthfully both days are fine. I'm hardly ever busy during the week. School is almost over! Yeah!
I also got a job at the SOS office in Lasalle. If you need you sticker that's probably all I'll be able to do. For a while a least, i think. Idk. i could be different than Ottawa where Marie worked last year. This year she's in Streator. Hopefully this will give me enough money to pay for miscellaneous expenses at college and a slight bit of tuition.
Well Gtg. Time to go to bed.

PS. Today sucked. Don't ask.
PSS. Go Cledus T. Judd.

Short post!

6:10 PM
Just a short note to remind you Weber and Karfunkel, the name is currently up for grabs, posted a new song. Go listen. :)

The Fine Arts Festival

5:11 PM
http://jerrykarfunkel.blogspot.com/
So that is Karfunkel's blog. More info there.

Well today we had the fine arts festival at school and at it they had a student section where they had some students preforming and Weber and Karfunkel preformed and they were a pretty big act! They preformed a couple of good old songs. The Boxer and Here Comes The Sun. They had a break which was filled with some students playing piano. Then they got up again played Karfunkel's two original compositions. Oregon and Postman. They were great. The chorus and the band played during the festival and the cafeteria was taken over by the Spanish teacher like every other year and they had Spanish stuff in there. BTW Sangria made with Grape Juice, ginger ale and fruit slices/pieces is awesome. The art department also displayed thing the art students have made and they did face painting. It was a jam packed hour and a half.

In other news, I think I'm going to go play piano right after this and we got a set of patio furniture for our new deck finally and its pretty cool looking. Now i have something to sit in when i read.
It also has gotten pretty cool this weekend. from 50's-70's to 30's-50's. Quite a drop but we did get some rain.
I also got a CB radio from my grandfather when we cleaned out the basement of his house but it ended up not working. For some reason we didn't get any static or anything on it but the speaker did work so idk. I'm wondering if i should buy one. I'm thinking on it. So there is only 15ish days left of school. Its feels odd to graduate. Well college should be fun.
So this is a long post. It reminds me of Matt. BTW to Matt --> Do a blogcast!
I wonder what kind of errands he is running today. Probably food. He eats a lot. LOL :P :)
Well that's all for folks.

PS. Go Loony Toons.

Prom!

6:45 AM
So this last weekend was prom and it was pretty fun. The DJ was only good. He played quite a few songs with hard to dance to beats. Dinner was delicious and the best part was they had cheesecake with strawberry topping for dessert. YUM! FYI I love cheesecake. The chicken there was also delicious. My firends and I had a fun time. A bunch of my friends rented a limosines. LOL I tink its funny and a waste of money but kind of cool.

Post Prom was ok. They could of had more prizes. For post prom we had a gambling night with fake money at the school. It was fun.

Yeah for State!

7:04 PM

So we went to state for WYSE and I got 5th in Biology and Hannah got 6th in Bio in the 300 division. Yeah for us. We placed 5th and 6th out of 450 kids.

I don't want to go to school tomorrow.

One flew east, one flew west....

6:13PM
Well tonight i have to write up and finish my essay that i forgot to do on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. So we had some prompts and i chose this one.

In what ways does McMurphy fit his role as a Christ figure? Is he a conventional hero?

So i think this one should be easy to do and i already have a page and a half but idk how much more i can get. I hate analysis essays.
Well gtg. Back to my essay.

Class Trip

9:52 PM
So our class trip is next week and we get to see the Blue Man group in Chicago. I so would have rather gone to Starved Rock but you get what you get. I get out of school that day. I also get to be gone that Monday because of State Finals for WYSE. So Weber and Karfunkel's new song should be showing up soon. He bought new equipment for recording so i can't wait to hear it.

nothing Much has happened but Matt pointed me to a cool blog. Its on my bloglist. Its called indexed. It's certainly interesting. It makes me want to make one like Matt did. Maybe I will.....? The question is on what topic though?

Weber & Karfunkel

7:08 AM
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=356117922
This is the music myspace page of one of my friends. The song posted there is a song that he composed and his friend and him are the ones singing and playing it. Its awesome. So everyone...Go listen to it!

So here is a small list of happenings since I'm on this morning.

1. Its finally finalized that i am going to go to Wabash.
2. My AP Bio showed us some beaver fetuses he got from someone.
3. Random fact: Coursing electricity through a pickle will make it glow. (without a ground of course)
4. My senior memory book is coming along. Only 5 more chapters to do. FYI if you didn't know our memory book is a compilation of things that have happened to us. E.g. One chapter is "School bells" and we are supposed to write about memories from K-4th grade.
5. PsyGuy got on and I talked to him a few days ago. IT was fun catching up. I missed talking to him.
6. Were learning about work and energy is physics. Its interesting.
7. AP calculus is now all review since we finished all the concepts we need.
8.This list is longer than expected
9. Random fact: A bolling ball starts to spin when it loses 2/7ths of its initial velocity.
10: I hope I finish my lab tonight in the period of a spring. FYI the ideal period of a spring is 2*pi*square root of the mass over the spring constant. It's similar to the period of a pendulum which is 2*pi*square root of the length of the pendulum over the force of gravity
Pspring=2*pi*sqrt(m/k) Ppendulum=2*pi*sqrt(l/g)
11. I think that is enough for now. Later.

ME Day!

8:00 PM
For those who don't know, At my school seniors who meet or exceeded 3 out of the 4 parts of the PSAE tests get one ME day that we can take any day as long as we let them know were taking it ahead of time. So today, along with a bunch of my friends, took out ME days today and we all camped yesterday to today. It was so much fun. We all were four wheeling, sitting in front of the fire, and hiking. We also had some intriguing developments about things so it was even quite interesting. I can't wait until we have another one.

In other news, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, is so far an interesting book. The new Maximum book, Final Warning, sucks. Its all about global warming and stuff, It was OK but after the first three books this was a letdown.

STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:32PM
Yeah!

Its so cool Hannah got a 1st in English and 2nd in Bio and I got a third in Chemistry! Were going to state in April! Yeah!

WYSE Sectionals

8:07 PM
Well tomorrow we go to sectionals for WYSE, the four of us second place or higher winners, and i hope that at least one of us get a medal in something. It would be so cool to go to state! I also just finished watching the new Kyle XY! I can't wait for the Season Finale. My friend who was taping the play that i hoped to get the video of me falling missed it because he ran out of film. I MUST find someone else.

The play

2:57 PM

Well the Friday play went pretty well except at couple spots and at the point i ran out of time when changing and didn't have time to get my shoes on so i had to run out with my socks on. And the best part is the floor is really easy to slide on with socks on. Its like ice skating. And so slipped and fell right in front of our Conrad. That started the audience up cracking but I'm glad i kept my composure and just quickly got up and went on like nothing happened. I heard a lot of people couldn't tell if it was planned or not. I hope tonight goes better. I strangely haven't seen our director since then so i wonder what she will say but otherwise they play was awesome. I so have to get a copy of last nights performance. I want to see myself fall because I don't' remember it really. I remember running out, then being on the ground, and then getting up and going on with the show.

YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:39 PM
I think that is enough exclamation points. Nah a few more. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There that's good.

Well I'm not sick anymore that goodness though i still have a slight odd cough. Oh well. Matt's finally posted something. I wonder why but i think i will find out soon enough! He should so do a Blogcast on it!!!!!!!!!!

Guess what. Its almost March, which means my birthday!!!! as well as a book i want coming out and the play i am in is preforming. But what really sucks about that is that one of our main starts is out sick in the hospital with Double pneumonia which really sucks so we have been practicing with our spare/understudy like person.

Otherwise school has been pretty boring.
Oh yeah. Before I got sick, actually i was sick then, On the 8th we went to WYSE competition, Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering, and i placed 1st in Chemistry and 3rd in Bio. Basically the competition is you take two tests in either Biology, Chemistry, English, Math, Computer Engineering, Engineering Graphics, and Physics. This was my third year, which is unique because he usually never takes any sophermores but since i aced my Chem final sophmore year my teacher recommended me for it and i placed 3rd that year. It was awsomely cool. Out of all three years there I've gotten 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in Chemistry, 3rd in Biology, and 3rd in Math.

Well thats about it.

Random side note. I got and ip-ood. :) :P
Its a nano.

8:54PM

Sick

I hate being sick

SNOW DAY!

Wahoo! Snow day. Evcerything is closed. Its wierd. So a fun day for me! TTYL later.

Wabash!

So I took a trip this weekend to go visit Wabash College and I have to say i so hope i get to go there it was great. Matt left a post that was a little vague so i hope he clarifies soon.

Ode to scholastic bowl

Well. We had a met today and we did pretty well but we were jipped in that last game. The moderator so read the bonus question badly so they threw it out and gave a question in artistic dance which we did horribly in so if we would of gotten that one we so would have won. It sucks. Oh well. This weekend we drove up to Chicago to Cabela's and i found these cool looking shoes but they were $100. Yowser!
I wonder where Matt is. All I've got from him is a pm at kylexy.net

The first post of the New Year

6:50PM

Long time no post. :P Well things are going well. We did great at scholastic bowl last night. I'm in our schools play. Were doing Bye Bye Birdie and i didn't get the part i wanted but I got a speaking part so I'm happy. Well a speaking part was practically certain because there were hardly any boys that came out. I'm happy though. Its my last year to be in one. I have two scenes and I'm in the teen chorus so i sing and sing and sing a lot. School is still as boring as always. Matt needs to get on because i want to talk to him but i haven't talked to him for like a month.

6:57PM
