Team Butterfly!

We didn't make it to quarter-finals, but whatever. We could have completely owned Foothill cuz the lady before us gave us the wrong round questions, but we were honest, nice people. =P It was fun though. Some insanely crazy questions, some super easy ones. All in all, not much different from other years - I feel like I knew more this year and participated more though.

Played Risk at Tommy's afterward. I swear, that game makes enemies in real life. It's SO intense and crazy...

I have SO much crap to do... Gov/psych notes, APES/econ homework. MUN prep and Mock Trial meeting tomorrow, and a lit essay. Not to mention that Presidential Scholars application, MIT "appeal," and setting up a USC interview for the scholarship. And a Yale interview this Friday.

Sweet Dreams!

Such a Busy Kid

I'm so busy even I'm wondering how I manage everything. I'm busier than when I worked at Kumon AND tutored! Sheesh. Crazy. Too many extracurriculars. But I love them all, so there's no chance I'm stopping any of them unless absolutely necessary (which it won't ever be). =]

The Eighth Deadly Sin

Definitely procrastination. Oh my dear god, do I feel screwed for lit right now. My book has too many characters with weak development for each (Dickens, you have failed me!) as of now, but I can't change it now. At least it's semi-interesting. But -sighs- I'll have fun with this profile and essay...

It's pretty hard times reading Hard Times...

Happy Year of the Dragon! 新年快樂!

Best Post-Finals Weekend

Busy busy Mock Trial scrimmage... It was super fun though. Ah, I love our witnesses. Tony was absolutely amazing today, I was so proud of him!

~ "The only conclusion that can be drawn from the fact that these fibers were blue is that these fibers were indeed blue, and not red."
~ "You are very cogent at making observations."

James was actually really good at being AG as well - I was pleasantly surprised.

~ "I mean, our food was gone!... The bar was for drinks, we needed FOOD... Yeah, but the FOOD!"
~ "I believe these next few questions can be answered with a simple yes or no, please." "We'll see."

I had fun with my opening - crosses were pretty good too. Got flustered a few times, but I guess I just need to practice objections.

Marnie has a few almost-misspoken things that would have been super hilarious. Good thing she corrected herself in time for them though. She would have been about to say...

~ "We ask that you not find Ryan guilty."
~ "...Mecca burdered..."

Went to Safeway for lunch, got sushi, deviled egg potato salad, and Brisk iced tea. Yummy. =]

*****
Overall, a really awesome weekend. Definitely the best post-finals weekend I've had. Back to school time on Tuesday, but I might hang out with some people tomorrow. Still have quite a few college interviews to go though... =[

"Real Athletes Wear Suits"

Instead of those stupid hole-punched plastic wristbrands, we got Livestrong-style ones that say "Real Athletes Wear Suits." They're pretty awesome.

The invitational is SO much fun, like seriously. Part of it's being a second semester senior, but we have the weirdest conversations and random occurrences, it's awesome. Even our trials are funny - "we ask that you not find Ryan guilty," "I mean, that was for drinks, but our FOOD!", etc.

But three trials in one day is overkill. All through the third trial, I kept spacing out, and randomly being jealous of prosecution, because they had a bye. Ughhh. But it's okay, we won in 2/3 and should have won in the other one. -shrugs-

There were some weird as hell objections... "QuickDry" is hearsay! She told the detective in the witness statement!

They had yummy lunch/dinner. HUGE sandwiches and spaghetti. The dance was awkward, but Ashton got his groove on with a girl from one of our trials. It was... interesting. I stood awkwardly/semi-danced at the edge with other Cal people. xD

Two more trials tomorrow. -sighs- Whatever, we got this! -yawns- Sleep time!

GOT ALL As IN MY CLASSES!

Well, A- in calculus, but I was SO scared that I was getting a B. I'm legitimately SO relieved and happy now. Time to enjoy a weekend in Carmel with the Mock Trial family! (And my independent reading book...)

Dyscalculus

It's like dyscalculia, but specific to calculus.

Playing with Fire

"I love you without knowing how or when, or from where. I love you because I know no other way."

Finals!

Done with one day! =P Econ went decently, kept my A, so I'm happy. Lit was sort of painful, but I think I did alright. (Edit - Got a 96%, woo! =])

Tomorrow's going to be relatively chill. Gov shouldn't be too hard, and neither should APES. My grades in those classes are high enough that I don't have to worry that much.

I can legitimately get an F in psych and keep an A. Not even an A-, an A. But I need to study for calc. -sighs- Calc makes me sad...

-jealous-

This is freaking amazing. I wish I could beatbox and play flute at the same time! It might help if I knew how to do one at a time, but you know. xD
