Politics, Education, and Communication

Every time a presidential election comes up, political issues come to the forefront. There's economic issues like debt, unemployment, inflation, and interest rate, and there's social issues like gay rights, abortion, stem cells, etc. I don't mind people discussing these issues, but when it comes down to it, I mind the discussion.

Part III

Is due tomorrow... I haven't started beyond my introductory paragraph. Here's to an all-nighter. Cheers.

Unproductive Weekends and Bruce Wayne

So uh, yesterday I slept at 3 am (don't tell my parents.) I blame Bruce Wayne. See, I've recently been watching trailers... yes... for The Dark Knight Rises. Here's the video if you haven't seen it (wtf, you haven't seen it?)

A good day.

I'm pretty lucky to get some of the opportunities I get. Today was one of those days. I walked into the Federal Reserve, went through the metal detector, swiped my card, and went up to the seventh floor. What do I get but an E-mail from my mentor saying there's a conference in the River Room with top economists presenting their research? Jackpot.

Close Calls and FUBAR

Close call - I almost forgot to blog today. Well, technically it's 12:47 AM, but it's still Thursday to me. I haven't begun to celebrate Friday yet. Nah, Friday doesn't start until like 5:30PM Friday because that's when I'm actually free to do nothing... except I need to study for AP Chemistry and write my Part III this weekend.

Dragging on

I can't believe it. I'm starting to watch the clock. AP Bio and Mo Pro are both just time sinks for me now. I appreciate the teachers, but I don't appreciate the class. I want it to end along with high school. I want to trick. I want to sleep. I want to have a blast with my best friends before we split and fly to the corners of the world. I want to go to college while hoping it never comes. I want to read my books without interruption or the noise of "learning" in my ears. I want summer naps, frappucinos, ice cream, Starcraft, B-dubs, and basketball. I want Part III to be done and Part IV to be erased. 

Am I being spoiled, or am I just a senior? Perhaps both.
