Saturday's event went well. I arrived at the mall at around 6am to help out walk for diabetes. I sorted out t-shirts for the people on the tables, the drinks, and breakfast bars. It was really crowded there and at the end, I got a t-shirt.

I really need to stop procrastinating my schoolwork. I have to make a website for History Day which is due this Friday. I only finish a couple of pages and I still need to volunteer more for NHS.

The business fair ended up in a good way. My debate resolution about food security passed with more votes supporting it than votes against it. Moreover, our business project, which was a wheel of fortune, got what is like $68. After dividing the profits, I got like $17 or $18. Right now, I have a total money of approximately $38. This is still not enough to buy Pokémon White. I don't know from where I should get more money...

Today, we had a biology field trip to a hospital. We accessed several sections, including radiology, kidney dialysis, laboratory, the section of giving birth and the in-patient rooms. It was a good trip, as we saw many different things, including a man who is about to die (I am not sure if we should call this a good thing, though). The in-patient rooms were amazing, more of a castle rather than a hospital. The best thing about this trip was that we missed classes. 8)

My mom is pushing me to apply for a job at a new grocery store that is opening down the street from my house. I haven't ever had a job before...I'm kinda nervous.

Gaaaaahh, FINALLY. Mock exams are over :/

Just finished my Chinese and Accounting paper today. Wow, did the past week suck..

Later on this afternoon I have a job interview at Borders book store and like Cyrus I've never had a job before either which makes my nervousness all the worse. Last week when I got my work permit from my counselor at school he told me his best friend was looking to hire a few new employees at his store and to my luck thank god I got to meet him, he's a really nice guy but I don't know what to say at my interview later-on.
Any tips?

I can't give out any tips since we don't really do the interview thing for some reason here.

Anyway I'm also trying for a job this month. My friend is trying to get me to work with him since they have an opening so all I need to do is hand in my resume and see how things go from there.

Once I turn 16, which will be this summer (the fourth) I will be applying at some places...Hopefully I can get a summer job so I have something to do this summer.

Coincidentally, I also turn 16 this summer, specifically in June. I'm really waiting to be 18, the magical number which allows you to drive, be free and join college. However, at the same time, I'm not too excited about bearing more responsibility as I grow up, but I guess that's how life goes.

I used to work as a tutor in my middle school for my former avid teacher in my 9th and 10th grade, but I stop working since my schoolwork is pretty heavy that year and I did not like my math teacher working alongside with me. >_<

The funny about being 16-18 is that you are growing up in physical and emotional way Things that once make sense for you back then, doesn't makes sense in this stage. You start to question what type of person you want to be and how are you going to fit in society. For a few months, I was in a mental breakdown finding what to do when I grew up. I even started to think like Holden Caulfield and thinking the things I learned were useless and I challenge them. It's not like I plan to drop out high school, but I want to expose the world and experience it by influencing people. School doesn't teach you everything and eventually you will be on your own spiritual trip trying to figure yourself and deciding what to do to becoming the person you want to be.

Anyway about my thoughts, I was working on a website and I use weebly to create it for National History Day. And I finally finish it. The research was the hardest part and it's a lot of work. I find working on a website fun and refreshing from posters.

Yesterday I went to my local junk/bargain store for some danish jelly that for some reason no other store around here carries. I went to look at their PC game stock, and I found 3 games for 12$ total.

One of them had steam somehow even though I doubt anyone else has ever heard it before. (Shadowgrounds: Survivor)

One has suerprisingly good graphics, and a destructable environment which is very rare on the scale this works (Frontlines: Fuel of War)

And I haven't started the third game yet because I try to go two games at a time normally. Plus it's in the form of 3 CDs instead of one DVD :I (Conflict: Global Terror)

Ah, man. I feel my head wants to explode out of responsibility and work. I really just need to get this week and the next week off to relax and get more free time for myself. God, when will the Spring Break finally be here? =/

And that is why I love that store :3

I don't think I want to actually get a car once I get my licence since car insurance and gas is so expensive.

My sister lives with my family and she can't afford either.

I heard back from one of the colleges I applied to and I got accepted! 3 more (and better) colleges to hear from later this month D:

Tomorrow is my school's annual debates. We'll be going against grade 9's to convince people that Facebook should be banned (an idea which is not supposed to be taken extremely practically). I'm feeling a little nervous at the prospect of speaking publicly in front of everyone tomorrow, but I hope I do well in spite of that.

Today at school I was caught in one of the Public Computer Suites playing Minecraft (The private one I usually go to was closed off for a detention). Caught by a technician, the people who maintain the servers and are in-charge of all the computers in the school. Oh boy. He's caught me playing games twice, but this time he actually knew what the game was, which I found rather amusing. "You're not really supposed to be playing Minecraft, are you? How did you get it on there?" My friend interrupted at that point, saying "We're running it off a memory stick.". That was actually a lie, we'd found out how to get into Application Data on our school drive, the only thing on the memory stick was the game client. If the technician knew that I'd be in some really deep trouble. REALLY deep. He confiscated my memory stick and when I came home today to check what he'd done to it I found that he'd wiped it. Completely. >_>

In America we'd sue for less than that...


I'd kick his ass for even less

Today was my school's annual debate. We were talking about whether Facebook should be banned or not. I was on the side of banning Facebook, although I am not. I was forced. However, everything turned alright, with my team winning. I am really glad.

Oh man! I am currently overwhelmed by the many things which happened this week, especially in the last two days. We went to a five-star hotel for the Reader's Cup award ceremony after we came in second place on the whole country from 60 teams. I got a book signed by Charlie Higson, a free ticket to meet him, an offer to go on the radio and a commemorative certificate. The first place winners, who got a golden cup among other things, only beat us by two points! Finally, the icing on the cake is that I moved to my new house, which is amazing in every sense of the word.

wow, that's pretty cool

Ah, I'm back from my little computer hiatus. Overwhelmed by Dragon Age 2 and Pokemon White. Wow, playing 2 RPGs at once is really exhausting. Whats been going on at VR?

Today was one of my most memorable days ever. I went on LIVE TV for an interview about the Reader's Cup as a representative of my school section! I am still trying to take it all in, but it was a surreal experience. No words can possibly describe my feelings right now!

That's really great and amazing. You must be nervous for the interview. Is there a video that we can see?

I don't see myself on tv for some reason. It's not like I am camera shy or easy to get shy around people since I play minor roles in my high school play and recently gave out a speech about service in National Honors Society Induction ceremony. I wish I could be in the school play this year, but I will plan to join ACE.

Today is National Peanut Day. So many people died 9_9

And today is also Pi day and Yoshi's birthday! For celebrating Yoshi's birthday, Peanut day, and Pi day, there shall be pie for everyone.



My math teacher wore a Pi shirt to school. One more week until spring break!

For those of you interested, this is the interview which I had on TV. I'm the teacher with the stubble the guy with the glasses on.

(By the way, don't mind my hand gestures. They're just something I can't control when speaking publicly. )

Why is there a British guy in the middle of Dubai.

Why did your teacher have his arm around you that's creepy.

Why am I asking questions without the proper punctuation.

So... I was chosen as a student prefect. Currently, I am working on organizing the Science Fair that will be held tomorrow. I hope everything goes well since three reporters are going to be in the school, and messing it up is not an option.

My dad got a new car today. It's a new blue Volkswagen GTI R32. However I haven't been in it yet because I took my mom's car home.

On a side note, the weather today is very nice here in upstate NY. My computer says that it's 37 degrees, although that doesn't really seem accurate because it feels like 60.

You know we have a weather thread, you two.

And Nis, I like R32s.. Actually I like most VWs. Not Beetles though, they are really ugly.

lol Yeah. But I thought it was dead and didn't want to necro. I'll let someone else do that. :3

My school is celebrating World Water Day tomorrow by holding many different activities, and I'm in charge of the quiz competition as well as the presentation for the whole school (along with Spirit). I'm looking forward to these things tomorrow, especially the "Sponge A Teacher" activity, where you can hit any of the participating teachers with sponges. 8)

Meh, but I'm kind of jealous of them, Mag. They do craploads of fun sounding things at school unlike me.

Also, yay, 3,000 posts.

My mom says today is the first day of spring. I hope we don't have to clean today <.<

Today turned out to be a very exciting day. I am glad I participated in it. We prepared water guns, water balloons and water buckets and soaked our teachers with water. They also did the same thing, but we owned them. After that, I played with my friends basketball. We were against the teachers. We actually won, despite the fact that they were more skilled than us (Don't tell me they went easy on us. They did not.). An overall impression of such a day is: AWESOME! I am also going to be absent tomorrow since my body is aching and I don't feel like going to school.

So I vanish a week and come back find purple ranks added somewhere and the usual staff-shuffling.

Hi?

Last two days of this term, and then we're off to our Spring Break! We still have two tests tomorrow, one of which I didn't really study for properly, but I feel everything will go well despite that.

I don't know about you guys but I'd be insulted if my rank was defined by N...

Hurray... only 5 more days till my first IGCSE paper starts.

ICT Practical. The one with HTML, Powerpoint and Access.

I've been using the same ict book for the past year. Its called IGCSE Information and Communication Technology, by Graham Brown and David Wattson. And yeah.. HTML, its going to suck, Lol.

My spring break finally started! I'll be going out a lot during the course of the break, but I will also keep posting over here and playing with my Pokemon Black.

No, we will not. We took FrontPage instead of it, since Cambridge doesn't specify what software to be used.

I just have to work on relearning the excel unit. I can hardly remember any of the formulas. I was absent for quite a lot of excel lessons :/

Currently posting from the Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida. So far in Disney World I've only been there since 3:00 pm, so I haven't really done all that much (exploring the resort and going to Downtown Disney), but it's going quite well.

I went to Dubai Mall with Shadow today. I tried the ice skating for the first time, got several bruises as I fell a lot. I am bad in skating... I also bought three new books; the final book of Harry Potter and two other books of Percy Jackson. We went and watched Rango today, and it was really good.

God. We walked and skated so much today my legs still hurt me. >_<

I never went ice skating before, but I used to love rollor skating when I was younger. Now I prefer biking around my neighborhood or practice playing tennis when the weather is warm.

1 igcse paper down, 14 to go. Great...
ICT Paper 3 this morning was surprisingly easy. There was very long spreadsheet question (Excel) and a relatively short HTML question. No PowerPoint, thankffully.

Ahh crap. Thanks for the heads up :/

Going back to ice skating for a bit, we always go ice skating every year (outdoor, obviously) and I'm really good at it, but I really don't find it that fun. Both my parents are really good at it, skating backwards and making figure 8s and all that typical stuff. My sister however, she's OK.

Today in Disney World, I went to Disney Quest in Downtown Disney, which has lots of ride simulators and arcade machines. Trust me, when you find ten linked NASCAR Racing cabinets that are all on freeplay, you'll be amazed.

You are so lucky that you are in Disney World. Are you staying there during spring break? Because mine just ended.

I got accepted into University of California: Santa Cruz, where I'll be majoring in video game design (and computer science)!

Wow, you're so lucky! I wish I knew people who worked there. I haven't been to Disney for awhile... :<

congrats PRS for getting accepted :3

video game design sounds very fun. I hope you enjoy it.

well, today has been... interesting. Yesterday's forecast was an 80% chance of thunderstorms, and when we woke up: rain. Thunderstorms, in fact. I turned on the TV and switched to WESH News, and on the radar I saw that Orlando would be under a red spot by about 8:45. We were also under a severe thunderstorm warning and tornado watch. The areas around us were under a tornado warning. Then the satellite went out. When it finally came back, it said that there was a tornado touchdown, hail, and some wind damage to the north. Oh boy.

(this whole adventure occurred within about an hour and a half)
