An Interesting Weekend

I had a great time at WAMUNC! My first real conference, I won honorable mention (3rd) for my committee and had a really good time overall. Good food, fun committee sessions, and I even went to a mosque (mandatory excursion, kinda strange but neat). The bus rides were a little long (7 hours the way there! curse you, traffic!), but we put together a decent time out of them. In some rather eccentric ways, for the most part.

However, part of me is incredibly pissed right now. I can't stand my family at the moment! I was on such a high after coming home, I had such a great time, was in a great mood. And then, within 30 minute of coming home, I'm pissed off and hiding in my room. Why, you ask? Because I can't deal with my family at all! I just can't deal with them. We clash nearly perfectly, in that no matter what we do we have spectacular fights on. I'm honestly getting sick of them. College! Come!

Weekend!

Should be quite fun. I have my second model UN conference, and my first trip....which I should probably write the position paper for. The topic is fascinating! I'm quite glad I switched, because Geithner....not so much. Also, my mom is freaking out about me going, what I should bring, whether I'll be okay, etc. Really, it needs to stop. Overall, I'm quite excited, I think. Though nervous about missing some classes (read: orgo). I'll update later with how it goes, though I doubt I'll win anything.

In other news, Mr. Mendelsohn once again gave me a B+, with an 89.7 avg, for the second trimester in a row. The exact same average. Luckily, it means I only need a 90.6 to convert to an A- for the year. Like that's happening. My other classes seem to be pretty much all A's, except for an A- in spanish (but like everyone dropped this trimester because Seltzer is evil!) I have ACTs in like a week and two days, which is mildly nerve-wrecking, but overall not so much. I guess that's because most of the material seems easy and I'm doing well on the practice tests. Also, I have SAT part two coming up in May should I fail ACTs. Though after that, I'm stuck with taking in October if I don't do well, which I REALLY do not want to have to do. Sigh, tangents.

I feel like I have to ask myself this question, constantly, made popular by Heath Ledger: "Why so serious?"

Time to get to work! (or pack).

I hate the administration!

Due to their bullshit, BOTH of the electives that I REALLY wanted to take were cut.

Molecular Biology III (Gastroenterology) and 20th Century Russian History. Honestly, what the hell. I wanted to take both of these, and they both manage to get canceled? Gah! I have no clue what I want to take now. Maybe I'll try for band or orchestra, just to fill a spot. This is seriously pissing me off though.

Burned Out

I'm completely burned out. I can't gather any motivation to do ANYTHING right now. I have a 10 page paper on AIDS due tomorrow for my Immunology 2 elective that I can't make myself continue. I have much more work than I anticipated, and instead I'm watching youtube videos and chatting. I have "early-onset" (comparatively) senioritis, and this is bad. I still have a full trimester in which I have to get owned by lit, after all. Can't quit too early. Honestly though, shit. I need to get through this fricken year and rehab over the summer....but I'm finding it incredibly hard to make myself do anything. Fuck me.....This year needs to end. Post-haste.

First real quiz bowl tourney, and a the horror that is next week.

Fun!

I had a great time at the quiz bowl tournament, despite rather numerous pit falls: some fail questions (grammar check, anyone?), a repeat of a bonus question, bad organization, some fail readers and a ridiculously large amount of down time (for me). But, I had a great time; some really funny moments, ridiculous answers, and as always, the lawlz that is Watson Ladd.

Highlights: AMATERASU (rawr), Buenos Aires (still ridiculous), and some incredible negs. Also, props to Watson for getting highest points per game AND most negs for round 1.

As far as next week....FML. Seriously
Spanish Test-ugh
Lit Presentation-I don't even have a poem...fuck
Spanish Presentation-ugh
History Test-eh...
Math Test-easy
PPAOx2(days)-FML
Trip from Sunday->Monday (Yay!)

And then a physics test monday, as well as a 10 page immuno paper due sometime next week that I have no CLUE when I'll be able to start.

I want the new trimester to start.....


On a lighter note, this is my last trimester of not-seniorness! Yay!

A brief rant regarding certain classes.

I. Enjoy. Getting. Grades. Back.

For real. This is not a drill. I want my grades back. I slave like a cotton picker in the 18th century and for what? To not get a single grade back since I turned in the first assignment of the trimester in early december? That's such shit. And it's not only for one class-history and anatomy. I just don't get shit back. I could be completely failing, and would I know to bring my grade up? Of course not. GAH.

Also, my math class is going to drive me insane. The sheer amount of stupidity in it aggravates me. For example: In the time it took for my teacher to go over law of cosines, I figured out two ways to prove it that I hadn't seen before. Also, when I do calc in class I get yelled at to put it away because it's not math. What the HELL. I so wish I wasn't placed into this bull...

And while I'm ranting about classes, my lit teacher makes me cry. End of story

An un-presidented video

This is an absolutely brilliant video...you have to watch it to fully comprehend it. It gets good about a minute in.
Tell me what you think.

Also, I've been rather remiss in posting lately, but I plan to change that soon. A real post is coming this weekend, I think.

Stupid People

There is nothing that annoys me more than stupid people. And by stupid people, I don't mean your run-of-the-mill dumb asses who can't answer the following question *credit goes to the book/movie Idiocracy*:

If you have one bucket that can hold two gallons, and another bucket that holds five gallons, how many buckets do you have?

If you can't answer that question, then you don't annoy me, but only by virtue of the fact that you now have an ice pick in your eye. Hey, don't look at me like that...it was a public service. I swear. However, I digress.

Stupid, in this sense, refers to a broad variety of people. In general, stupid people in this usage covers one ore more of the following list:

People who simply won't. shut. the. fuck. up.

People who are disgustingly loud-so much so that when they speak, your eardrums start cowering in fear.

People who are USELESS. This is huge for me-if you have intelligence, talent and drive, and all you do is sit at your desk and play fucking computer games or other useless crap for hours and hours and do absolutely nothing productive like go back to college, get a job or work to pay off your student loans, you suck. A LOT. Not that I'm referring to a specific person here, or anything...yeah. This is merely an example.

People who attempt to portray themselves as intelligent, and do not realize that all they are doing is proving their utter ignorance and incompetence.

People with absolute zero work ethic, especially as applies to group projects.

People who focus their entire existence on being dicks. Speaking of which, I'll have to post the flow chart I made eventually, regarding a certain person always being a dick. No matter what.

Etc.

As you can see, this list covers a LOT of people. Yet, without fail, they annoy me. If they would do such brilliant things as relieve themselves of their ignorance, wear a muzzle 24/7 or voluntarily get kicked in the ass so as to start being productive, than I would cease to have (much of) a problem with them. However, as things stand, I can't stand you.

This brings me to my easy check list:

HOW TO TELL IF YOU ARE A "STUPID PERSON"

1) You read articles on CNN/The New York Times/etc, find one statement that seems intelligent and repeat it as much as you can.

2) When you talk, laugh, yell, sing or make sounds, small animals keel over and die.

3) When you talk, people who are generally considered to be intelligent either keel over and die or start laughing. Conspicuously.

4) Your name is Sarah Palin.

5) You are a product of incest (see #4).

6) You sometimes get stuck in doorways. Because of your head.

7) You live in Alabama/Georgia/other like states (see #5).

8) You are extremely intelligent, and yet contribute absolutely nothing to your family, society or your bank account.

9) Your idea of a busy day is having three raids schedule on World of Warcraft, or its equivalent.

10) You really enjoy arguing. WITH PEOPLE THAT AGREE WITH YOU.

I can't think of anything else to add at the moment, but suggestions are, as always (*note*-not really always. I'm a bitch like that) are welcome.

Eventually, I will post the "Stupid Person Survival Guide", in which I shall detail what drastic measures must be taken when you encounter one of these heathens.

Cheers.

This seems entertaining...

Why hello there.

This is an experiment, in which I make a blog and see how long I bother updating it. It might end up being fun, depending on the type of traffic I get, or it might be extraordinarily dull in which case I will stop post haste. However, whichever outcome occurs, let it be known that I am not attempting to do anything special with this blog, and it serves no special purpose save for me to post certain links, incidents and various other things I feel the need to share. Also, rants will be quite frequent. I've been told that I can be quite funny, but some times I try to hard...so we'll see how successful this really is.

Either way, I really hope that you don't enjoy the ride, and if you leave a bad comment, I desperately hope it's because of something I said.

Have fun with your pointless endeavors to entertain yourself and make your insignificance a bit more meaningful...
