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!

Yes, I am very sick

Talk about a sick person . I can surely say that I am or at least, was a very sick person. After terrible knee pain and severe flu, and that's not all, a few phone calls from a couple of teachers, and H.W. reminders as well, I think I am finally not sick enough to not go to school. But still! I am pretty sick.

Second draft of the Extended Essay is due tomorrow, got tons of corrections to do, but don't have ton's of hours to do that. What? don't think I am a procrastinator. I am sick, damn!

Oh well, being sick doesn't mean I don't need to start working, I'll get to it right away. Today i almost had an argument about the 2 previous posts posted on this blog. I just didnt' like it when a "contributor" gave out a chain letter e-mail and a daily news section. It might be important, but c'mon now, a little more creativity would be appreciated.

I"ll get back to working now, got little time and lot of work. stay tuned, this blog just might get a interesting from now on ;]

First day of ... hell?

First thing we found out today was, we have the same room as last year's as our homeroom and Ms. Piette, who is hated by many and loved by few, is our homeroom teacher.

The stupid school officials need some glasses. They cut off a part of my head in my ID picture. Whats up with that? I mean, I realize that the guy who took the picture is pretty short and stuff, but damn!

Today went kind of better than what I expected. I expected to take notes, at least in Biology, but we didn't, and got only 1 H.W. assignment, which wasn't too bad either.

Another thing that I realize was that our class, 902, started off with about 27 people and now only 20 remain. Out of those 20 there are a few who don't even count, another few who just don't care, and a few others who I don't give a damn about, so that leaves us with fewer than few.

Oh! and the freshmen, whats happening to the newer generations? I mean, every year they seem to get shorter and shorter. Some say, "uglier," but I didn't really notice that fact. Maybe because they were too short for me to look at them. However, we all were freshmen once, so maybe I should be a little nicer. Then again, throwing pennies at them sounds so much better, doesn't it?

Being a little bit tired since it's the first day of fasting for me as well as many others, I didn't notice many other things that I would have on other regular days. Then again, it's Senn High, how often do you find something interesting enough to pay attention to anyways?

Well I guess a pretty tough year lies ahead for everyone. Toughest out of all 4, I would say. So get used to the suffering as soon as possible. After all, a year, as we know, might pass quickly. But, maybe it goes by quickly because we want all the misery and H.W. to pass by as fast as possible, don't u think? Oh well, still going to be a painful year. We all should know that. However, I am looking forward to "learn" and get done with it though.
