I'm screwed

Well, so far this year, I have had an extremely fun and relaxing junior year. Second semester was pretty much a breeze for me, as I started out the year taking online U.S. History and Honors English, while continuing AP Computer Science, AP Spanish, and weight training, along with having early release every other day. After finishing my online U.S. History class in about 6 weeks with a 97.8 average, there was no need to come to first period, making it so I had to come in about 9:20 every day, and get out at 12:40 every other day, pertty much the easiest day you can have. All year, I have been focused on slacking off, by not doing my homework, no really paying attention in class and reading Sparknotes for english all year. So far I've managed to pull out all A's and B's, but as of late, that is all crashing down. Suddenly, it seems like all my procrastinantion and lack of work is coming back to bite me in the hiney! So now that I have explained, I will give you a brief overview of the work I have yet to complete:

1. For Honors english, we have had a semster-long project about certain decades. My "decade" was one that got split in half--the eighties, of which I got 1986-1989. We were required to read two books publish during this time period, and write a twenty to twenty-five, yes I repeat, 20-25 page paper talking about how the literature reflects characteristics of the time period. Along with a paper, we were also assigned to make a powerpoint anchoring a 30 minute presentation about our decade. The 20-25 page paper is due this Monday, and so far, I've written all of 0 pages, or words for that matter. This leaves me 4 days from today to do that, which is about 5 pages a day. My presentation is on June 1st, which I also haven't started yet. Yes, I realzie this is ALL my fault for putting it off this long, but it sure does suck!

2. In AP Spanish, we had an AP exam on May 2nd, which I chose not to take part in, leaving me with a final project doe on May 31st. Along with all my other assignments, I have not yet started this either, and to be honest, I really don't even know what I have to do for it, but I guess I can just wing it....

3. Like I said earlier, I took online U.S. History this year, mainly because regular history didn't fit well into my schedule. At the time of the class, I was very excited, because it was so easy, and also beacuse I completed the cirriculum so fast. Now that SOL time is rolling around again, I have completely forgotten all about what I learned, and with my SOL May 23rd, I am kind of worried, marking the first time EVER I have been worried about an SOL test, and I know I will need to devote some time to refreshing my memory of the course.

4. Our final project in AP computer science this year is just that...Another project... For this one, I need to create two new programs, one for next year's class to do, and one program based on my own interest. I have no idea what I'm going to do for either of these either, but I'm hoping I can finish both of these projects in class. This will probably end up being the least of my tasks.

5. Coming up on June 3rd, I have to take the SAT's for the last time before i apply for college. This is kind of important because...well, college. I took the SAT's in 9th grade, and got a 1150, and on the PSAT's in 10th grade, I got a 1250, so I hope the trend will continue and this year I can get atleast a 1350. Again, there's not a lot you can do to prepare for the SAT's, but I will need to devote some time to studying for the test.

6. Lastly, tomarrow, I have the second part of my English SOL, and because it is an SOL, I'm not worried about it, and again, I don't even know what we're going to be doing for it, it could be an essay, it could be a multiple choice test.

So anyways, thats the bulk of my stress about now, baseball is just about over, and summer is quickly approaching, I cannot wait! All readers have a great day, and I'm gonna go start researching 1986-1989.

Finally, a real post.

As I just read the last ohh 4 or 5 post's made by the main inspiration of blogging, Geoff Skelly, I really got the urge to make a post. As my absence sustained for months, I have been coming back and doing a little ditty every once in a while, along with a little letter I found entertaining about illegal aliens the other day. I feel like I started this blog in the first place just to kinda tell you what's going on, give my opinion on things, and well originially to gripe and whine about being grounded for a mere two weeks after getting caught sneaking out and drinking with my friends. Now that I am wiser and more practical, I realize that my punishment wans't all that bad. But now back to my point, I feel like my bloy has gotten off topic to just small issues such as unneeded interracial realtionships to mexicans coming into the country illegally. So now I want to get back to the good old topics, whats been going on in my life. Recently, like I siad, I haven't had much time on my hands to get on here and write, and I know I have probably lost many of the people who read my blog. Now that myspace is getting big, people are always on that, and probably won't even have the time to come read my thoughts. But seriously, enough with randomness and back to issues going on.

The first and main thing happening in my life about now is Harrisonburg baseball season. The season is just about through, and after picking up our fifth win last night by slaughtering Broadway 11-1, we move to 5-11 overall and 8th place in the valley district with five games remaining. I have really been a huge contribution to the team thus far, with my uncanny ability to steal other teams pitching signals and by taking, well, pretty much the best stats ever. Right now I'm in first place in the valley district for stat-taking, and I'm hoping I can go all-region. So anywho, I don't play at all, I just do a lot of cheering. I mean c'mon guys, lets be honest, I'm way better than that Brent Arbogast kid, I should be out there. However, although I do not play, I feel this baseball season has been a lot of fun for all the time I got to spend with the guys practicing and such, and also for the great inspirational speeches and quotes givin by the one and only Coach Bocock. To list a couple famous ones there the good ole' "comraderieship", "well shit the bed!", "There's three types of coaches in this world, theres the ones that pat you on the butt and say good job, well, I'm not one of em'!", and you can't leave out "the sun just don't shine on the same dog's ass everyday!" So that is enough about this years baseball season, onto new things.

This weekend the NFL draft took place. The main thing I learned from tuning into the draft was this: the Texans are stupid. In reality though, I really don't care about what they did, being a Packers fan and all. I feel like the Pack had a pretty good draft this year, getting a solid leader for their defense in OLB A.J Hawk, who was arguably the best linebacker in college football and won the Lombardi award. They also managed to pick up some good linemen to help protect Brett Favre next year, who decided to come back for his final year. The Packers were forced to trade disgruntled Wide Reciever Javon Walker after he expressed his discontent with his contract. I don't think the Packers will have a great season next year, but I'm just hoping they are over .500.

In other news, last monday was easily the best day of my year at Harrisonburg high school. To protest the new pending immigration laws, all the mexicans that go to our school decided it would be a great idea to show how much impact they had on society by all skipping school. They were obviously correct!! I noticed many changes such as everything was much quiter in the halls and lunch, I could get around much easier without running into mexican couples groping eachother in the hallways, the air was much fresher and it seemed to smell fresh, we didn't have to worry about anyone being "left behind" in learning, not to mention the school saved approximately $1000 as they did not have to dish out free breakfasts and lunches to all 350+ hispanics that decided not to show up. I feel this protest really did prove something to everyone, how much better the school day was without them there! Pleeaasseee feel free to have as many school boycotts as you can. Now I dont want you guys to get the wrong idea, there are a limited number of extremely cool mexicans out there, but mainly there's good ole' Spitta, also known as Nelson Garcia, who was born in Queens, New York, and has lived in America his whole life, so contrary to popular thought, there are some awesome mexicans out there!

So after a great day of school, I made the poor decision of staying up until 2 in the morning when the next day I had an AP test for computer science at 8 o'clock that morning. I went expecting not to have much trouble, as I had gotten 4's on most of my practice exams, however this was not the case. After getting through the multiple choice part of the test, the free response section, for lack of better words, ripped me a new one. It was stuff on there I had never seen before, and eventually i got so pissed off I just took Gus' idea and started doodling little pictures around the blank space. So essentially I will probably get a 3 and JUST miss getting college credit, and overall it was just a waste of $83.

Another big thing for me recently is that this past Easter, I got a new car(no, I didn't get the car for easter, it was just a coincidence that I got it easter weekend. In reality it's nothing nice, and my current car, a 2002 burgundy buick century named Ron is much more high quality, even if it is an old lady car. My new car is a 1993 Chrystler Le Baron Convertible. So when first hearing it, it sounds awesome, and in some cases it is. I mainly just like it because with summer approaching, it will be nice to be crusing around in a red convertible rather than an old lady car. Its got 180,000 miles on it, however, every major engine part has been replaced within the last three years, and it runs beautifully. As of right now though, it is in the shop getting inspeceted, and we are waiting for a new dimmer switch for my high beams to come in, and after that, i'll be riding around in semi-style.

I am sorry to drag any of you readers still reading on this long, but the last big thing going on in my life right now is the upcoming Prom. I am taking a beaufitul girl named Jessica Buck, who many of you probably know. At first thought, I really didn't want to take a freshman, but after hanging out with her and realizing how much fun I had with her, I thought man, I really wanna go to prom with her, so I asked her and to my surprise she said yes. I'm really looking forward to it, and it should be a ton of fun!

Thank you all for sticking around to read all that, and I will try and get back into the habbit of getting on here atleast once a week and tellin' it like it is. Hopefully I can eventually gain my readers back, and everyone have a great week.
