So you had a little trouble in town, now you're keeping some demon down

Today was our first Volleyball game! It was pretty fun, even though both JV and Varsity lost in 2 games. (Both of our second games were better than our first games.) Noam was there, cheering REALLY LOUDLY. :D

On Saturday we have an all-day tournament of five games. It's a good thing we have Monday off; I have a lot of stuff to get done. And on Friday I get to go on a very important adventure with Noam before she leaves on Sunday... Okay, I really don't want to think about that.

Well, a rumor that R.E.M. might start a new album! Maybe. Eventually? Oh well, I suppose I'll take what I can get.

So today near the beginning of 1st period Luke is in the lounge instead of the CRC, so I go in there to get him to help me with Calc and he's like "just let me listen to this song one more time..." and it's Svefn-g-englar! A Sigur Rós song! So I say that I have it on my iPod, and we play Sigur Rós in the CRC for the rest of the period. And then Luke says he wants me to burn him a CD of some Sigur Rós and U2 stuff! Awesome. It's great when people decide they like music I like; perhaps it is even one of the best things ever.

I will build a wall, sensing trouble from a mile away

As an afterthought, the Howdy Hop was indeed better than any other dance I've been to since the Valentine's Day one. Interesting.

Last night I didn't get any homework done (no Calc homework due today or tomorrow, but there is that quiz...) or go to bed early. I didn't even get to go to Best Buy--ugh, parents.

It's been a year since Hurricane Katrina. It really doesn't feel like it's been that long...

I guess I better try to study some more Physics for the SAT II.

The reader may think that in a book that deals with the permanent assumptions of the Elizabethans I have made too much of angels.

Marquis found a nice link for me that told me how to get iCal to subscribe to my Google Calendar! This is useful because that means I can have it on my iPod. I'm sure, however, that everyone else already has done this and I am just ridiculously behind the times.

Also, I thought of a good use for those chumby things: put in a better battery and attach it to your locker! Catch up on RSS feeds and e-mail in between classes! And then take it home every night to charge it, I guess.

There's a Calc quiz tomorrow. I better study... and finish that English book (without falling asleep).

Ouch

Today was the first day of school and Mrs. Boca jumped into Calc II with no review. It's seriously way too hard.

I had forgotten...

A new beginning

This is my new Senior Year Blog. I'm using a template now because Blogger Beta doesn't let you edit the HTML of the layout yet. :/ The labels should keep everything nice and organized, though.

Today is the last day of summer. I hope I'll be able to make good use of it...
