After watching an awesome episode of Supernatural, I thought about what H.W. to do. Biology? ToK essay? English? Spanish? or History? Everything? Anything? Since I will be going camping from Friday through Sunday, I want to get as much out of the way as I can. However, I just did ToK. Biology was too extensive to do for my literally red, tired eyes. I don't get it. I have tried to solve this mystery many times, but still don't get it. When I watch T.V., my eyes aren't so tired, they are very tired right now when I looked at that Biology Packet which forced me to open this book that I avoided for almost 5 months. Mysterious, isn't it? Maybe it's the book? or just the topic itself? I don't know.
I'll try and read history at least. That reminds me I should re-read my Extended Essay as well since it's on history and due very soon. Anyways, got to go, Malcolm in the Middle just started on channel 24.

Worst Book
A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf
My initial reaction when I finished the book, "Thank God, couldn't have taken a single page more of it."
... The first half, I couldn't help but say "Enough of the same thing already, stop whining." However, I tried to understand the time period it is set in and the author's point of view, after understanding that I wouldn't tell her to "stop whining," but definitely to not repeat things over and over again.
I have never said that I didn't like a book that I have read (there are quite a few that I have read), but this definitely deserves the title of the first boring book that I read. I bet almost every girl I know, who has read the book would disagree with me compleotely. But hey, they share the same sex as the author, so I don't think I can argue against them, because it might be more emotional for the girls than it was for me.
P.S: Almost hated the damn book

The Right Thing
What happens when you have to choose between the supposed right thing and something that is in no way wrong, yet not the most righteous thing??
Conflicting with these two choices all day long I still don't know what to do.
Go to an immigration election center that I volunteered and "committed" to or go camping, where my intentions as well as will lies.
When I talked to my ToK teacher, he said "I want you to ...{long pause}... do what you think is right." For sometime I couldn't help but feel guilty about not trying hard enough to stick to my commitment of volunteering which I actually signed up for before I paid for the camping trip.
I've always hated making decisions like these, but that hasn't kept them away from me. However, I think I'll go to camping because isn't it all about "what makes me happy??" because I haven't been anywhere for "fun" for the past 5 months and can't wait till spring for the next camping trip to do so. Then again, I don't want to back down from what I first thought I wanted to do.
Anyways, at the moment I'll do the right thing and read The Room of One's Own by Virginia Wolf and hopefully try to make the life changing decision before it's too late to pick either.

What is IB?
After being done with the Extended Essay, I was just talking to a few people about IB and eventually found this:
What does IB stand for?
I am not sure if I'd agree with it, but it sure is something many others would freely admit to, I would too occasionally
What do you think?

It's Over, Good Night!
The countdown to the "final" deadline of the Extended Essay is finally over!
yes! I did it and I am still alive!!!
I must say that was some piece of work everybody and I did, regardless of the fact that some asked for an extension. I ended up with 14-15 pages of the actual essay + the other necessary pages like abstract, bibliography, etc.
Anyways, I am planning to re-take the ACT coming Saturday. Haven't practiced for it in months, but the worst part is that I am the only one, who I know going to the center that I am assigned. (that just some messed up stuff right there).
I am actually am pretty worried about what awaits 902 because I think we'll be given more work since the EE is basically over, don't you think?? (We don't have an excuse to get away from work anymore guys!!!)
Anyways after hours of work on the Extended Essay and turning it in at exactly 11:59 pm, a minute before its deadline, I am off to bed. Maybe you should too, never know what type dreams awaits you.

"In life, you should try everything ..."
One of my friends have said to me many times that "in life, you should try everything you can."
After hearing that, I began to order different things on a restaurant menu. (I know, what a fat ass advice!!). But, I think he meant more than just trying different foods. I guess I wouldn't know until the next time we go out to eat and I talk to him.
Today I can proudly say that I don't only try new things in food, but I actually took a little outing trip after 4th period. But I did try a new Chinese dish , so I am not sure if that counts. (It was good though, so I had like twice of what a regular person should have). Wait, does that make me irregular? abnormal? I am kinda big though. Ah what the heck, it was good.
So people, this coming weekend, to relieve the stress of the Extended Essay due the next week, where shall I try to end my never ending hunger? I think I'd try I-hop or Italian again. Subway isn't bad either.
Well, we got some History work to take care of, so I'll get going and "work hard," again. Maybe you should try it. The "hard work," the variety of foods, and also the little outing trip after 4th period.

Back, this time with pizza.
It's been a while...
...I actually like blogging, just that I "don't get time" to do it. When I do get time, laziness takes over. Anyways, I'll try posting something new every weekend because I don't really want to stop doing this completely.
I've just been busy with the college stuff, almost done with it! (Ha! suckers, I bet many aren't even half way there).
Got to wonder though, next year by this time. Many of us will be in college. Oh w/e, moving on to some important stuff, I actually had the stuffed pizza from Italian express today, finally!! I've been wanting to try it for a long time. Just like I wanted to have the KFC chicken last time. Can't believe that thing filled me up in only 2 slices.
KFC reminds me, maybe I want it again? hm maybe.
I've been walking home a lot lately from school, one thing I notice is this damn dog. It always barks at me, I mean I get the point of a pet dog for security, but everyday? makes me wanna learn dog language and bark back at it and tell him to shut the hell up!! Today however, the dog didn't bark as much, maybe it was just my headphones, I don't know.
Two papers being due on Tuesday, I am supposedly "working hard" to finish them. I know most of you will start your hard work around 8 or 9 at night. So, good luck!
