I got home from Toronto just two days ago (Monday). For only two weeks with my life carried on a hard disk with me, it seems like an awful lot has changed. An annoying, but not critical, change has been the lack of my mac. All you mac haters, rejoice: there was one flaw in […]
I like to think I “beat” high school. I can look back on those four years and feel proud of what I accomplished, and I’m going to the college I want to go to, the one I thought was too good for me.Based on that, here’s what I think I did to be successful, however […]
Without an NHL team in town and little natural climatic inclination towards it, hockey rarely comes on TV around here. So when I arrived home to see my sister watching the Stanley Cup finals between the Ducks and Senators, I tuned in.Honestly, hockey never overtook baseball as my favorite sport. In the 9 years I […]
To whom it may concern (which is almost certainly you if you’re reading this, and many, many more), It’s awfully hard to reflect on 12 years of education and 17 years of life when that’s all that I know, yet doing just that seems important at a time like this.And I only get one shot […]
Well, my last assignment was turned in today, so this year is pretty much over. From finally winning a regional CS contest, to actually getting rain at a football game, to the most awesome tetris-piece-shaped stats seating arrangement 2nd semester, to getting my drivers license, to actually being able to lord over all of the […]
Spent Thursday afternoon through Saturday morning up at Austin, doing the UIL thing. Congratulate everyone who went, because Taylor appears to have won sweepstakes for the State UIL Academics contest!Computer Science was pretty much a hit for us. Frank, David, and I managed to go 1, 2, 3 on the written test, and got the […]
I’ve probably given this little rant quite a few times, but for completeness, here it comes again.So I asked Fairley how Prom was last year. Disregarding how creepy this is, here’s how it went:(17:34:26) me: how was prom(17:34:35) Michael Fairley: fun(17:34:52) me: thanks for probably the greatest explanation in the history of mankindCoincidentally, that’s about […]
If this seems disorganized, I just listed a couple things to talk about, and expanded them independently. If you didn’t know, I left Wednesday afternoon for a jaunt out to Stanford for Admit Weekend, a reception for all the admitted students to get a feel for the campus and such. After spending two days there, […]
Stephen Hawking gave a lecture yesterday at Texas A&M about the origin of the universe. Admittedly, it was very cool seeing him. That’s probably why I went, actually. Taylor sent a contigent of kids to go on a school bus, and we had quite an outing. Unfortunately, it sucked.Of course, it’s nothing on him. He’s […]
Do math, end up looking like these guys…
