Well maybe not today since this will probably get published after 12:00 AM, but you know what I mean, right? ;D
Today I woke up to a healthy dose of econ homework. A most intriguing subject; as with other subjects like Chemistry, I think think the calculations they test students are annoying and distract from the subject itself. They have to test you on something though, so I suppose they have their purpose. They can also demonstrate concepts, but so can just seeing them once as opposed to repeatedly doing them as exercises. Different people learn differently.
Unfortunately today I was unable to fulfill two requests. Sorry for not going over to Sunjay's house yet, and sorry for not going biking with Gene. I admit I didn't work the entire day, but I did do a lot of work and resting that I really needed to do.
I went to Barnes and Nobles this morning until maybe 4 pm (a long while, though with a lunch break). The morning was especially productive. As with most study sessions, productivity declined towards the end, but that was largely because I accomplished thing things I wanted to early on. I got some good bio studying done with Daeyoung and also learned how much more intense class of 2012 is than class of 2010-- at least I don't have to compete with them all for college admissions :)
Lunch break was pretty nice, went to Chin Chin's with Jolene and Vince. Jolene let me buy fried rice and just watched me eat after she told me she would eat some too D: But that's fine I guess if it makes everyone happy (I'm fine with it-- I got leftover fried rice keke!)
After lunch things didn't go as well, but I won't elaborate too much on details here because I don't know if the people I am thinking of would want it. I will just say that I am concerned.
Going home was fun-- Jeff Wei didn't die on roller blades, I got to listen to more kpop while riding home. Sansa Fuze-- great mp3 player by the way, especially for price. Random interjection: if the scroll wheel seems to get stuck, can be cleaned by leaving face down over a damp tissue of rubbing alcohol or trying to clean in between wheel with rubbing alcohol. Alcohol evaporates faster than water and stuff so nothing was damaged and now its working perfectly after a minor inconvenience of stuck wheel (not a fault in the player, I still retain really high reviews for it)
At home, remodeling continues. Its nice to see parents engaged in a non-work related project. I hope they are happy. I don't like all the nostalgic references they make to my childhood, but I suppose that is natural for parents, so I'll have to deal with it. Remodeling gives them something progress-orientated to look towards, full of discovery and interest they probably miss from seeing a child rapidly developing. I don't think I'm that boring now though, but I guess I was more interesting in the past to them. Oh well.

Spanish homework is to compare 2 Central American countries. I am pretty ignorant, I had not even known the difference between "Latin America" and "Central America", or any of the difference between countries in Central America (besides the given obvious geographical ones like one is above the other) prior to taking Spanish AP. I'm glad I'm taking this class.

We're reading William Shakespeare's King Lear in English. For being the character he was, Shakespeare did write some very intriguing literature. One of the most tragic things about this play, is that I do not feel Lear continually makes mistakes, rather it is one mistake that leads to a cascade of fail. Numerous definitions exist for tragedy, and each has their own degree of merit.

Senior mob shot. Some people make things so difficult. Put down your hands and wannabe-gangster hand signs and let them take the picture. Who wants to stand squinting in the sun in the mud for a long time? I'm trying not to think lowly of class of 2010, but I'm still liking class of 2011 and class of 2012 better.

Senior quotes: I don't have one yet at this point, and by today (Nov. 12) I decided not to turn in one at all. Something funny is alright, but I wouldn't necessarily want to be remembered by something funny that had little meaning, or especially a cynical connotation. Something more serious or Biblical might have been good to bring, but nothing in particular came to mind to me. I guess a blank space will leave me room to append a quote if I really feel like I have to later in peoples' yearbooks.

I went to the Fresh concert at Bethel church with Jimmy, Jesse, Daniel Baik, and company... ...saw Tim Chang there too :P We left early and went swimming. This day was a Friday. I did not record anything for that weekend, but it likely involved resting and dreaming with a large dose of homework.

more later.
