We won the semis! We beat Nutley pretty badly today, 1340 - 600. The questions were a little bit harder, too.
It seemed that we weren't even playing that well and we were still beating them. Everyone had their own contributions too, as usual.
The funniest part was how two things discussed on the bus were answers today: Hitchcock's / du Maurier's The Birds and "filibuster."
They didn't accept an answer stating that volume was what's increased when amplitude is increased, in favor of "loudness." Sure, but "loudness" is a kiddy answer. So it really could have been even bigger.... 1380 - 560.
So the final is next Tuesday at Madeline's restaurant, complete with the free dinner. Winning does have its perks. The best part of BRITE is how it can carry the entire third marking period. We've been doing this since February. It'll be late April when it's over. |

HEY FELLOW CLASSMATES! (cuz I know you're all online right now)
It's 10:40am on Tuesday morning. Where's the massive spate of lj updates??
Well, in this morning I:
- got a little over 4 hours of sleep
- watched most of the movie for Brave New World
- wrote a little over 300 words on why downloading music from the Internet is illegal
- printed out said essay, with some difficulty
- got out of the Stat test for another day (SNOW! SNOW! SNOW!)
- am now sitting in Stat. What, could it ever even cross your mind that I was working??
Annnnnd...that's all she wrote. |

Classical Music Night is tomorrow night!
Time: 7pm
Place: High Tech's MPR
Why you should come: because there'll be food.
Oh, and some music.
Really, we've got a lot of great stuff this year - good singers ::coughs::, lots of flute music, duets, even a cello! And of course, lots of piano. Music ranges from Chopin to Broadway to Gershwin!
Okay then. ::pets good LJ for use in broadcasting messages to general High Tech community::
See you there! |

So I'm at work, as I always am on Saturdays. And I'm not really doing work, as I always am on Saturdays. Well see, if I start doing work I'll have to face up to the fact that even thought I was this close to catching up completely in the morning, right before everyone went to lunch (and right after I got back from lunch) I got another THIS many cases to do. sigh.
Anyway, I just wanted to applaud Paci (http://www.livejournal.com/users/thirdi85/92841.html and http://www.livejournal.com/users/thirdi85/91919.html) and Joe Hall (for tracing the ip) and all the others going against rhesus, whoever he or she may be. It was rather entertaining last night to come up with all the ways to shoot him down, picking apart his comments. And yeah, it's dumb.
I don't have anything to look forward to today, is all. sigh. |

| Okay, now I can do my gc lab in peace. |

Well, since it's a lj meme (from Paci, btw) I figured I'd post it here. But when I was answering it, I replaced "LJ" with "MT" because MT is my true love, you know.

Comment in which ever place you prefer, but here's the dilemma:
For teacher recommendations I've asked Roche, DR. ENG, and Zilbergeld. Zilbergeld because I need one from a humanities/social science teacher for Harvey Mudd and CalTech and she went with us on the Academic Team Nationals trip and I did pretty well in her class, even though we all think she doesn't like me very much. Whatever. Anyway, should I use Dr. Eng or Roche as the other teacher reference on the apps for CalTech and Harvey Mudd?
Dr. Eng only taught me frosh year and had stuff for Academic Team since then. And remember, he didn't seem to be very enthusiastic for me :( but then again, the whole doctor thing is kind of impressive.
Roche taught me frosh and soph year, for research. I also competed in the sciences fairs, so there's that. And he's probably better at the whole writing in English thing. But I'm sure Dr. Eng would be very thorough too.
Help? |

I feel like I should post here once in awhile, since people were so gracious as to add me to their friends list. But managing two blogs?? Well, it's more like 3, but the third one I very rarely write in it. The things you can't tell everyone, it's probably best to just keep everything inside. Of course, then you run the risk of implosion...eh. It's safer, I think. |

Not! MT's still the greatest. But now I can have a purty icon and I can read the friend's only entries. Well, if you put me down as a friend. Which I hope you will. Even though I won't post. Anyway, many thanks to Pat who gave me the code. Yeah, THANKS PAT! |
