I've been busy with early college orientation, then other paperwork. Then a lot of other things came up. About 2 weeks ago I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed which just sucked...but at least they are out now.
I haven't had much time to read books like I've wanted. My college wants me to read "Fast Food Nation," for my first year, I've already read parts of it before. But I checked out two books from the library the other day when I went there to get books for my little sister. I'm ashamed I only grabbed 2 books Dx, I usually get more for myself. Titles are (The Quantum Their...scfi type, and Misery Bay (crime,murder,mystery). I've almost finished Misery Bay. I like it!
That's one of the good things about the kindle, a lot the books on there are free. I have an itouch, and have this application that boasts over 100,000 free titles or something. But of course its harder to read on an itouch. I'm probably going to wait 1 year before getting a Macbook Pro for college. I'll just deal with the laptop I have now (its crashes alot)
Haha I was just kidding about Nancy Drew, but I'll admit I don't think I've read any of her books.
I agree with you, the media is very dangerous...especially here in the United States. I read somewhere that less than 15% of graduating seniors are proficient in history. History is very important to know when the media blatantly says something wrong, and all the people who don't know the truth believe the media is correct. I find Foxnews to be the worst source of news on this planet. Even after they know they are saying something wrong, they deny any wrong doing. Every single article about President Obama is negative, always saying stuff such as "news polls show Obama sucks," ....newspolls done by Fox??? Are they even performing a legitimate survey here.
Most people lack common sense and critical thinking
In other news, I think my family and I will be going to Canada around June 26th for a wedding o_O
I don't wanna go on a road trip for 22+ hours T___T
Congrats again on graduating! Now we are both officially high school graduates, and no longer part of the statistic of teenagers who drop out of high school! Ooo Kindle's are amazing! If I had the money I'd buy both an Ipad and an Macbook Pro, but that might be a little excessive. I love my itouch and an over sized Itouch (ipad) would be epic! Since I got a new phone this year I guess I'll have to wait for my 2 year contract to go out before I can get the Iphone 6 or whatever they have in 2 years....APPLE the company that likes to change every year!!
I just don't like alcohol in general, and feel it's done more bad to society than good. Yea prohibition is pretty extreme, but I agree that people should try to drink in moderation.If people can't control themselves, they should not drink in the first place :l
Nancy Drew games? LOL ewwww
However, Agathe Cristie is MY most favorite mystery/crime authors of all time! I love her books! Robert Patterson is also pretty good too!
Speaking of books, I should probably go to the library and get some new books to read this summer!
My class is twice the size of your class O.o that is very impressive. You definitely do sound pessimistic about high school! I felt closer to everyone at school because of our small class size, and I've known most of them since 7th grade. I don't see anything wrong with reading books during recess, but I guess as an elementary student the teachers were expecting all their students to be wild and crazy during recess.
I want prohibition to be in place again > sad
I don't plan to ever drink alcohol in my life, and I feel that alcohol cannot exist in "just society." We cannot solve the problems that plague us while alcohol is continued to be consumed. (What is your idea on this?)
I would never install anything window's related to my Mac if I ever got one xD...
Installing Window's 7 defeats the purpose of owning a Mac in the first place, but it does provide something funny to say in a conversation. Most people only install windows on their Mac's so they could play games that are only for the PC.
But yea about the world ending. It's another repeat of history where there is a Charismatic leader leading a mass of blind ignorant fools who ride the stupid train to ruin. Essentially this so called "religious" leader is scamming everyone who is donating their life savings to him. Since the world isn't going to end today, he's just gonna tell the people he made a miscalculation, and he is just gonna pick a new date for the end of the world. And his followers will continue their support of him. I just don't understand why people want the world to end so quickly. We've just graduated high school, and we are expecting to embark on a new journey through life. So when someone tells us that the world is going to end is just simply outrageous >:3
Over here only the TOP student gets Valedictorian. All the students in the TOP 10 earn the best scholarships, and Valedictorian usually earns a lot of extra money and scholarships. For me, I am content with my position since I don't have to pay for college and I'm getting around $9,500 back from scholarships. My university is giving me a full ride. Then Fasfa + Tops = 9,000. Than an extra scholarship is giving me $500. It's money I don't particularly need for college, but it will definitely be saved for my future.
Lol your interesting! Most people just are not good at talking about social issues, random stuff like why Mac's can run XP...
I wanna put Window's 7 on my Mac hahaha
I don't think I have gotten over missing high school. It seems like I made the most friends I've ever made in my senior year. Met so many new people, and talked a lot to the underclassmen.
Ya heard about that crazy religious guy who thinks the world is gonna end May 21st? Just saw it on CNN, I just don't understand how so many people can be brainwashed into believing such a thing @.@
Haha but honestly after being accepted into college and getting scholarships, the ranking stops mattering. It's just really cool to be #1 though.
Early Congrats on Graduating!! xD
I was told that my AP scores come out within the 2nd week of June I think. I hate waiting so long though!
haha I did alot of research on camera's before I bought mine! ISO is how well camera captures light, the higher ISO means better performance in low light. However you need to have a CMOS sensor for it to not look blurry. Most pre-2010 camera's come with CCD which sucks! All the 2011 cameras seem to have CMOS and up to 3,200 ISO which is great for a point and shoot.
I actually returned the camera that I bought because it was 2010 model with a CCD. I'm just going to wait and get it again when it gets updated with a CMOS. Or I might buy a SLR.
^lol that was just some camera facts xD
When I went to Bestbuy to buy a camera, I knew more than the camera salesman...he was like "you should apply here for a job."
I got a brand new camera. Canon Powershot Sx30is. It has such an incredible zoom that it let's me zoom all the way into the crators on the moon.
I posted it up on youtube, here's the link: Zoom into the moon Video
I finished my AP exams! My AP Statistics and AP Calculus were freaking hard .__.; And yes "5" is the highest you can score. I need at least a 4 or 5 for my college to accept the test.
Also the laptop that I got for free sucks balls! Literally....it's an old refurbished laptop. I gave it to my sister since I'm just going to buy my own Mac Book Pro later.
I also want the 15" macbook pro. But I already have an Itouch xD
I'd sell it too, get some money off that expensive laptop!!!
Do you have a facebook? If you would like to be friends on there let me know! It'd be easier to talk to you xD
Haha I have 3 more days left of school. May 11th is my last day, and May 14th is my graduation!
And yea, I have ap exams to take. I already took the AP environmental science exam. I still have to take my AP statistics and AP Calculus exams T.T
I have to come back after school ends to finish those.
And I do like literature, I just hate taking a class about literature where there's a TON of work to do!
Oh the other day I won a scholarship plus a free laptop XD.....but the laptop is super sucky!!!! I'm going to give it to my sister, and then buy myself a Macbook Pro 13" or maybe the 15" ._.;
I'll probably check my gaia once a week if I can lol
My gosh I love how much you type! Are you going to an out of state or instate college? 22k extra is quite a hefty amount. I've been procrastinating on and off, but its very difficult to procrastinate when your taking Advance placement classes. While all the other seniors are enjoying their last few weeks, I still have to study since the day after spring break I have my first AP exam, and the last day of school I have another AP exam.
O_O your school life seems just as busy as mine, maybe busier. Joining too many clubs and extra curricular activities xD
Majoring in English and history ...eww xDD
Perhaps not as eww as me majoring in biochemistry hahaha
I'm not sure if I replied to everything you said....had to paste it on word document to make it more readable! haha
