266|1 I still don’t have time for a real post, but the pictures from the College Trip should give you an idea of what transpired during my absence. It was fun, to say the least. Yes, even this was fun. Not to mention we had six CTYers including myself, two of which sat right by […]

Gone Thursday to Saturday. Details once a drafting project and physics test fly over my head. Me too.

I’m the last person to want to change their cell phone, but when one gets forced upon me, I can’t refuse it. Such was the case today. My mother went out and bought a cell phone from Verizon, and one came free along with it. The Samsung SCH-a650 has more features than my previous phone […]

On Friday, the two American Studies classes went on an almost-all day field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and then Central Park.

195|1 196|1 This past Friday, I broke my decade-long abstinance of Halloween. I originally intended to just wear a cool hat. People would ask me, “Who are you?” and I’d reply, “I don’t know. I just like the hat.” And it is a very cool hat. I’m not sure how to classify it; people said […]

Porque lo quiso. Casablanca is too cool for me to deny having seen it. Here’s lookin’ at you, kid. And Chobits was great. 24 episodes was a bit of an odd number, and I’m still shocked at the wild turn the emphasis takes on episode 17, but it was great. And the five-minute special was […]
