Today’s Lesson:[Time mouth feels disgusting] = [Time playing tuba] ^ 5 With a bit of help from Miss Julie, I am going to begin my story blog again very soon. I’ll post again when that happens. This time, I’ll make an actual effort to start something that makes sense and might go somewhere. So I […]
I must say, this being well-rested thing really has me perturbed. True, it’s not a bad thing at all. I mean, if we grow more when we’re sleeping, I could use a couple more inches; while it won’t help my shot ‘ne, it’s still a benefit in basketball. On the otherhand, I’m back to not […]
So this job (I may have mentioned this about a thousand times, but my job is to write a scheduler/database for dog groomers across the street from Taylor. I get to work from home, make my own hours, and the offer is pretty high.) is finally getting off the ground. I had another client meeting, […]
So, like many, most of my past summers have been pretty boring. I mean, being out of school is awesome and all, but it’s not like we’re really doing ‘nething at all. You can only see your friends so much, and summer jobs usually aren’t the most thrilling. So while there’s absolutely no reason for […]
Short version: I (my mom) paid $200 so that I could fly to Cincinnati, write 1 program, answer 12 multiple-choice question, play Axis & Allies for 8 hrs, and then fly back. Long version: So I skipped most of the 2nd day of DI training to catch a plane with the rest of the Taylor […]
What a ride.

I could say how it feels like only yesterday that I was arriving at New Marcher’s Fundamentals, and how the last 3 years have been a breeze. But that’s been pretty much a lie. To say that high school so far has been that little is giving a lot so little credit. A lot of […]
So the other day, during band, we were doing a recording session for graduation. If you ‘member, we recorded P&C last year because the Merrell Center wasn’t going to hold an orchestra as well. This year, they decided that P&C is much too boring to play in and out, so on the way out, they […]
I propose, that in honor of randomness, that we make this Thursday “Speak in Song Day”. During this day, all day, whenever you have something to say, you have to say it in song. Regardless of whether you can sing or not, everything must have a beat and a melody to it. It’s likely that […]
The TCEA Computer Science State Competition was yesterday, and it ending marked the end of the regular CS season (discounting other side contests, including UIL and ACSL). But let’s rewind. Friday was the day we were supposed to bus up to San An for the contest, but Wind Ensemble had UIL, so Fairley, Tom, and […]
