Hello!

Oh my, it's been so long since I've posted. So many things to say, not enough time to get them all out. Let's start with the important things:

Dani and I have been going out for almost 11 and a half months. It's closer to a year every time I blink, it seems. I'm extremely happy with her and I wouldn't mind going much more than a year, actually I'd prefer it :)

School is fine. I started off in AP Calculus BC (second part to calculus) and it didn't work out. Our school has gained so many Juniors this year, it has actually messed up the schedules because there are so many of them. To spare you the headache of explaining the changes, I'll just say they had to combine the first Calc class and the second Calc class (mine) into one class. They aren't the same. The teacher basically has to manage his time to teach two classes in one class period. I can't learn that way. I got switched out into my tech class as a Senior Aide for the Juniors. It's much easier and much less stress than I would've had in Calc, even if the classes weren't combined. Every other class is fine. Psychology, AP English Lit, Honors Sociology (which earns me 3 credits for HCC) and then I go to my tech class as an Aide.

I've been alone a lot lately, completely alone. My parents are heavily involved in the Band Boosters at North and Andy is in the drumline. So the nights when he has practice and they have to do concession stand for some sporting event, I'm alone. For several hours. I thought it would be great, I'd be alone and do whatever I want, including playing computer games on the big TV in the living room without being bothered, and I have done that while they're gone. But now it gets old and I get bored/lonely. Oh well, what can I do about it?

One thing I forgot to say about my parents and the Band Boosters. They get so stressed or frustrated--I don't know which--after meetings or concession stand, it's ridiculous. They come home in a bad mood, and I can tell without them even saying anything or looking at me. They fight over nothing. I like to play a game where I can come up with a way to resolve the fight quickly, and I usually can, but it's not a good idea to say anything when they're like this. I don't care.

Softball ended on August 24th. It's been a while since I've done any physical activity. Andy chased me once and I was so out of breath. I'm so out of shape already -.- Hopefully it will change soon..

I got a new Laptop! HP - Pavilion Artist Edition 2 Laptop with AMD Turion™ X2 Ultra Mobile Processor - dv6-1260se. It's ahmazin. I'm on it now. I don't use my desktop anymore. It's old and crappy =P haha. Andy said he wants to take it apart and look at it (since he's in the computer repair class in our school). I'm fine with it. I don't really want it anymore.

I'm in my Senior year. Graduation is tomorrow (as one of the college representative visitors put it). In my senior year, my tech class has to (individually) come up with game ideas. Microsoft actually comes into our class and we pitch the game ideas to them. If they like it, they may tell us to continue developing it and they may be interested in paying for it with royalties (where I would continually earn money if the game sells or they make sequals, etc.) which is exciting. Unfortunately, my class is terrible with due dates and some of they took a while to get their game ideas out. We are now 2-3 weeks behind. Microsoft may not come. If they don't, I'll be extremely disappointed. It's a once in a lifetime chance. I will never get to pitch a game to them again, let alone just being in school. No colleges on the east coast get a visit from them, which is saying a lot since we are only a high school.

Another project we have to do as seniors is to develop a winter animation that will be distributed to possibly thousands of people all around the world. I don't really care for that too much. Seems kinda boring to me, but I'll do it. We do this project as an entire class. We have to come up with a kid's story and put it in animation form. The animation part is fun, the kid's story is not. Haha, oh well.

I actually think that's it for my update on life. Thanks for reading!

I really should start writing on this more, so I don't have to write such a crap load of words. =O
