BECAUSE I ONLY WATCH 2 HOURS A DAY OF TV NOW ! =)

BECAUSE I ONLY WATCH 2 HOURS A DAY OF TV NOW ! =)
yeah, i'm proud of myself.
i got off the "gotta do work with the tv on" thing.
and it's helping. my focus = ^
and since i only watch gilmore girls, gossip girl, heroes, and house (and the occasional reality show) --
my tv watching? like 1 hour per day. 2 if there's house.

fantastic.

AND? i'm sticking to a SCHEDULE. for my LIFE.
sure, i'll have to tweak a little everyday, but it's relatively the same everyday. which is crazy. :)

wicked late...

wicked late

so in other news, GBUSHYA (George dubYA BUSH)
is officially a caudex (latin for blockhead)
=)
why? he knows the world cares wayyyyy infinitely more about clinton(s) vs. obama (+kennedy) but what does he do? bore the world.
& then whoever is living from these boredom artillery fires, goes on to analyze his speech to death for depth. which frankly doesn't exist.
cuz he is GBUSHYA. the master of no depth. the guy who went to andover because his father's helpful contributions to the school earned him admissions' points.

and i'm just a tad mad cuz my daddy has to be all into this.
and i'm trying to brain-train (my affectionate term for cramming 65 pages of brain terms into my cranium) ....
so i don't really get anywhere.

if i did a timeline of tonight's studying...

8:45ish- get on comp
9:00ish--speech prep
9:30ish-- half listen to speech / half do my sleep/stress notes.
9:34ish -- try to educate father about sleep. disinterest.
9:40ish--OH LOOK A DISTRACTION!
9:50ish--contemplates fb more than brain notes.
1000ish-- still.
1015ish---still.
1016-- get back on track.
1101- finish
1112- get ready to sleep
1115- get on computer to blog =O

i'm a badddd girlie!!LOL
but hey, 3 chapters in one day. i deserve a break, right?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
breaks are for whimps who don't wanna winnnnnn :P
i'mma win.
take that natayla shepnova or whatever your name is...
i have engineers that don't know anything about biology as parents
and no neuro at my school
but i come out on TOP.
repp

because blogger is going out at (4pm PST) ...

because blogger is going out at (4pm PST) ...

i felt like it would be appropriate to try and blog as much as i can in the upcoming days before my explosion / implosion. whatever term applies.

i'm doing well so far cuz i haven't actually done anything worthwhile yet.
i did my homework. except poem picking. which i'm gonna do now.
and i got my midyear grades which left some to be desired, but were not tearworthy.

vb -- ? still don't know. worried ish though.
lit-- ? i know i passed. i just don't know by how much =P
lilg alg 2-- A+ for the quarter (97! WOOT), A for midyear (93? 94? whatever. i'm pleased) and A+ for the semester :)
latin! -- A+ for term, A for exam, A+ for semester :)
history-- I THINK term = A/A-/A+. idk. best bet? A. A for exam. (93. i think? his grading is vague) A for semester. unscathed so far.
chem-- A+ for quarter. A for exam (with a lotta point scale). A almost plus (96) for the semester.
=)
relatively not bad.
not absolutely mondo amazing. but livable.
i want to know my vb grade. and i DON'T want to know my vb grade.
it's not evil. but i just don't/didn't feel confident.

and lit? i felt confident. so that worries me.
LOL.

so i'm off to pick my poem out of the five that were my faves.
i'll try to post it when i pick :)
i kinda, sorta, especially love poetry out loud season. everyone (if they admit or not) gets nervous-excited to do their poem in front of their class. and that's always really fun.
so i'm realllllly excited. especially cuz i have a real competition in my class.
i dunno if i have a chance against two last year class champs, but i can always try.
and i think i'll try my bestest. :)

Reyis of light,
shining bright,
saying goodnight,

another day in the life :)

today-- like many other new england days, was a day of snowww.
snow means arghhhh, i need to clean the driveway. i need to clear the car. i need my mommy to drive fast. i need to go...but there's all this blinding white stuff just coming out of the sky preventing me from starting my flight from Point A to Point B.

so a half an hour after getting ready and getting the car set, i set off to dance.

it didn't go too hot.
i, undoubtedly stressed about many facets of my life including dance, did not practice as much as i know i could've in this last week.
i now have to cram practice into 4 days and be perfect on thursday.

i also have a BRAIN BEE COMPETITIONNNNN!!!!111!!! on saturday.

so i have a lotta learning to do.
and fast.
and AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :)

so today's study session?

3ish- take shower # 2 to make hair bouncy like mommy's
330ish- start the history. while watching house. and ace of cakes repeat. and movies. this isn't gonna go well.
430ish- decide that i can find out what happens in elizabethtown later
500ish- finish history terms. start watching stupid because i said so movie with mother
530ish- leave room because i should start my brain bee studying if i want to get anywhere with it
5:56 pm- start bloggering.
6:05pm - back to chapter 3: sensation and perception :)
hopefully i'll finish one or two chapters today.
hefty goal. but i can do it.
"i'm supergirl, man i'm here to save the world, but i wanna know who's gonna save meeee" :)

is it weird that....

is it weird that after watching several house episodes in succession, i want to collapse in some weird attack and go to the princeton-plainsboro hospital to have mri scans and fmri scans and adverse reactions and weird things happen to me until i get all better and get to meet house?
=P
well, i do.
which is funny.
and amusing.
and i wish xkcd updated everyday.

reyi the.... endorser?

reyi the ... endorser?
yeah, that's what it seems like nowadays :)
here to give you my opinion on everything nerdy. and i'm always right. like meryl streep in the devil wears prada! haha.
well, i think my feelings are a little desensitized lately. i'm either wicked hyper-excited, hyper-excited-angry, hyper-excited-sad, or bored-tired-sleepy.
i prefer any version of the hyper-excited with no mayo. thank you. no fries.
:)
but seriously. no feelings. at all. complete empty----
ahhhhh- gilmore girls rerun!
g2g. finish later!

xkcd! :D

i discovered xkcd today.
it's such a cute website.
funny, nerdy, my humble abode, as it t'were.
< and now i want something new.
an escher bracelet.
and it DOESN"T EVEN EXIST!
the minute i saw it i went immediately back about 5 years to cty 03 and the mobius band and how it never ended.
and it was sooooo cool. apparently, escher [google told me] was a math artist. he combined math and art in amazing ways like tessellations, etc. and the mobius band was one of his things. and this bracelet stands for what would escher do? which i think is provocative, nerdy, and amazinggg. i wanttttttt :P
and it looks just liek the livestrong ones. but for the nerdy set. the money could go towards... improved math and sci for the us!
:)
but anyway i'm really digging this xkcd thing. it's soooo awesome. and funny.
the snapple one made me LOL and want to tell the worlddd :)
it's amazing.

midterms are going well. i'm completely and utterly mellow for chem. which is less than what i can say about math, language arts, latin, history, and vb combined. :)
i am sooooo calm. which is a great feeling. i never need to get worked up in science because i know that i know it or i don't. and if don't, i study. if i do, i relax.
:)
and i'm happpppppyyyyy ;)
dancing today made me beyond happy, even though i was tired.
it was amazing. i was/am in love. with dance. w/ my artform. it's great and a great and fullfilling feeling.
:) <3

you're still in the running to be america's-next-neuromodel :)

i'm gonna start this post off by admitting something practically everyone knows about me.
i'm a nerd.
i read mitadmissions.org for the blogs every day. i facebook like a fiend. i code like it's my life. i get really psyched for competitions about brains! but what shows that i'm not nerdy? i like being girly. i love the idea of modeling, even though it's reallllly shallow in that it tells people that they are never good enough no matter how skinny and how tall but i think that the message of empowerment it gives, the message of being confident in yourself enough to be able to show in a picture or in a walk, something other than yourself. i find that empowering and charming about it.
i mean, it's like acting. but even more hardcore cuz you don't have words. you have actions. a snapshot. a moment in time to convince the watcher that you believe.

hardcore. i would never survive. but i would want to model something like this ! :
i mean, look at it! it's an endorphin necklace. i love a natural high. i mean, the kind you can get from amsterdam is great but ... LOL no really, i love endorphins and how they relieve pain, make you happy, etc. but to wear endorphins around your neck for the world to see how much you love endorphins? TOTALLY SICKKKK! i want! i need! but i also want/need $ 640.00 to go in the piggy bank for my college education/sat exam/application fees :)
so, some day, etsy: the molecular muse will get my 640 so that i can wear my neuroscience like a pro, but for now? i'll just look at it with an unsurpassed longing. and wait for the day someone will buy me my dopamine charm necklace or the neurocharm bracelet or an assortment of neuroscience based paraphernalia. anythingg in your wildest dreams! except fo' that ethanol! that's really clever thoughhh. :)
the chocolate, however, doesn't look quite as appetizing as the cookies in the kitchen!
if you, you rich fiend, have the cash... etsy by way of molecular muse has an assortment of neuro based jewelry AND trinkets. mostly (amazing looking sterling silver) jewelry though ;). (oh, and it's handmade!) i hope someone, like the person who makes these necklaces, sees this so that they may possibly give me a FREEEEEE endorphin necklace. that's like my modelesque dream. better than the "twenty thousssand-dollah diamod ring!" (italia(?) accent!) jade won on that church fashion show ep of america's next top model :)
wayyyy better. i mean, i-can-feel-the-endorphins-going-to-my-brain, better !!

brain bee studying feels so good. way better than exam studying. im like mellow about the competition. especially after checking out the video from last year and realizing there's only like 50 kids max going to this competition.
very select. very easy for me to get through the paper round. :)
i can't wait really.
feb 2nd feels tooo far away!
:)

i also cannot wait until ITALIAAAAAA!
only like 20+ days left!
woooo!
i still need to learn me some italian!

midterms

midterms are coming up.
i'm sooooo happy with studying actually.
i started early this year and i feel confident about my english and math exams and chemistry and history just require a little more studying.
i'm excited to get it over with though. i'm flourishing in the easiness of sophomore year.
which is soooo ogood :)

wooooo. now i'm soooo excited to prove my excellence on midyearsss!

library studying has it's pros and cons, but it's prossss DEFINITELY outweight its and my house's cons.

during school...

so my last post was kinda emo.
a lot emo.
but it was necessary.
i really do miss last year. last summer. the last dance.
nightswimming. if we had more time. one more week. one more hour. i would've told you how i felt.
but now it's too late. you're probably going to carlisle.
and enjoying an amazing summer with her.
why'd you tell me about her?
were you trying to make it clear that we weren't what we were?
i felt so hurt. i guess i jumped to conclusions. but that's just my forte.
maybe we weren't meant to be.
maybe.
