It's nice that you took the time to search that.

I have so much work and not enough time to do it.

W00tness I finished my novella yo. 20 500 words. Ish. I'm a bit paranoid, so I saved it in six different locations. There's no way I'm losing it.

I don't think I really like the ending. But I do like the fact that it now has an ending.

Such is the life of a junior, Canadian. I'm not sure that you have the whole senior slacker thing that we do here, but I hope you do.

I haven't done anything today. Failure imminent.

What do you do all day if you don't do anything productive? I'm a bit of a Wikipedia addict. Today, whilst researching something for my novel, I discovered that the Stockholm Metro's Green Line uses only the new C20 stock of rail cars. Only three of these cars fit in the platform. But the platforms can hold eight of the older Cx stock cars. That means each train has a capacity of 1,250 people. Fascinating.

I had a great weekend that was productive in all metrics besides scholarly achievement. Yay senior year!

I looked at my chemistry book, laughed at how much I don't know, looked at my calculus review, laughed at how much I don't know, then watched tv.

Simple, really.

I waved bye to senior slacking when I chose to do the IB.

The twelfth graders have 18 IB exams in the next three weeks. 18.

JBVirtuoso · 05-03-2009, 08:35 PM

I get bored watching TV. It's quite sad. I could be a part of a new study of the post-television generation or something. I'll have to make friends with some random psychology majors at UChicago.

snoopyiscool · 05-03-2009, 09:10 PM

I get bored watching tv now, too. It feels like I've already seen everything.

I think I'll do my chemistry hw, go to sleep, and not think about calc on Wednesday.

JBVirtuoso · 05-03-2009, 09:17 PM

Everyone in my non-AP calculus class opted not to take the AP test. I don't think anyone from my school has gotten higher than a 3, and a whole five people have taken it. Since I'd have to get a 5 on it to get any credit, I deemed it not worth my time and $85 or whatever.

I GIVE UP I CAN'T DO THIS THE TENNIZZLER ADMITS DEFEAT

At least my SAT II scores will be bangin'.

rockermcr · 05-03-2009, 10:07 PM

I could probably help you with some chemistry, if you need it.

I finished The Handmaid's Tale today and it was thoroughly disappointing.

snoopyiscool · 05-03-2009, 10:20 PM

It's more of a general "wtf when did i learn this what does it meann", but I'll ask you if any specific questions come up, generous Canadian.

I picture you as nothing but the second largest country by landmass with a mouth and glasses and Italian last name. I believe I am accurate.

rockermcr · 05-03-2009, 10:40 PM

I normally don't wear glasses. So, slightly off.

JBVirtuoso · 05-03-2009, 10:41 PM

I didn't know about the Italian last name. I would have guessed a Croatian name. But that is a silly assumption to make.

You left out the overconfidence part. The Canadian is one of the most confident people I've artificially met. I guess that's really a good thing. I wish I had more confidence in what I do. I used to have lots of confidence, and then it all went away my junior year.
