i enjoyed history today. i got called a slacker by ross! i feel so honored; this is cause for celebration. now 50% of my current teachers think i'm a slacker. only two more to go. and all i did was ask ross if we could have a partner quiz today. and she said no and called me a slacker, which made me laugh so hard, i almost couldn't concentrate on the quiz. it was great, the highlight of my day.
swiggum in bio has already labelled me a slacker. anna was telling this kid how i was a slacker, and swiggum goes, "cindy is a slacker."
this is so sweet, and it's snowing too!

if it is possible to OD on the internet, then i did it. wow, my eyes are tired. but it was fun. i basically spent all afternoon and evening online (or at least on the computer), only taking breaks for dinner and practicing violin.
what is wrong with this country's military? the us army is made up of *ahem* intellectually challenged people. seriously, the people that do good in school all go on to college. only the problematic kids with no brains go to the military. granted, i am generalizing, but i am pissed at the system. they should have compulsory military service for a couple years.

this is a great personality test that everyone should experience. i recommend that you take it before you read the rest of this, so that it doesn't influence your results and so you know what i'm talking about.
i reasoned that i didn't need the monkey, since it was annoying me, and it's pretty much worthless. yeah, it's a good thing i'm not having kids. next, i left the cow, because it was too big and too slow. i kept the lion up till then because i wanted the security (it was a friendly lion). finally choosing between the sheep, which i thought was food, and the horse, i kept the transportation. actually, the order pretty much makes sense, except for the passion thing. or maybe it's right. perhaps i do value passion most, which is kinda strange.

i just got a lecture on setting goals in life. my mom was pissed because she wanted me to do mentor connections, but i don't want to. mainly due to: i don't want to waste time to fill out the application that doesn't even guarantee me a place in the program, and i really don't know what field i want to do it in. so, she gave a spiel on how everyone needs goals if they want to succeed in life. i heard about her friends' kids who are working hard and seizing oppportunities to get into the college of their choice.
actually, it was funny because i wasn't saying anything in return while my mom was talking. but of course my brother can't resist telling my mom, "who cares?" which of course pisses my mom off even more and she ends up lecturing him instead of me. so now he's expected to get a good SAT score, and it's only his last year of middle school. this is a taste of the arguments and conflicts to come for the next 4 years in my brother's life.
i actually do have goals though, but i'm not telling my parents what they are. i'm not even sure i know what they are. they are all unconscious, which is the way i like them.

hey, nothing like no school and the chance to sleep in. good stuff.
yooney's party on saturday was fun, especially the french silk pie, frappaccino, and DDR. thanks yooney!! i've been thinking maybe i could have a party at my house with my mom cooking chinese food. and we can do chinese activities like mah-jong (although no gambling) and ping-pong or whatever people want. but knowing me, it probably won't be for a long time, since i tend to procrastinate and i'm lazy (a great combo).
oh yeah, and the super bowl is going to pit my favorite team (the bucs) against my brother's favorite team (the raiders). that should be interesting.

i'm really tired right now, so i'm really glad we have a 4-day weekend. good for sleeping in. i suppose i would be in better shape if i hadn't stayed up till 3 a.m. last night / this morning. however, i wanted to see what it would feel like the next day. i actually planned to stay up all night, but then i ran out of things to do. i mean, there's only so much homework you can do and only so much you can read before you get sick of it. plus, if my parents had found out, they would have yelled at me.
i couldn't use the computer because it's in my parents' bedroom. or else, i could have stayed up longer, and if i had internet i probably would have made it. but then i would have felt like crap at school today. it didn't feel as bad as i thought it would. i was tired, but it was tolerable. quite manageable actually. i will have to repeat this experiment again later.

yeah, i know i said i wouldn't write here, but i like this so much better. i feel like i have more control. but that doesn't make much sense because i'm not a control freak. at least i'm pretty sure i'm not.
all you guys have a bad influence on me. i'm not doing american reading at home anymore. i'm starting to do it at school, during the blocks before my 4th block american class with miles. even this one kid asked me if i always did my american homework during that class. and if i do it at home i end up not taking any notes, which does shorten the total amount of time spent on american, but sometimes miles asks very specific quiz questions.
and it's all your guys' slacker influence!!!!!
on a lighter note, i went home today and played starcraft for about 2 hours, which more than satisfied my craving for it. i won't need to play it anymore...for about a week anyway.
also, people's obsessions over stuff is scary. particularly over LOTR. very disturbing
