It’s a little like apples to apples, except with prompts like “What have my parents been hiding from me?” and answers like “Kim Jong-il,” “Panda sex,” and “All you can eat shrimp for $4.99.”
Hm.

It’s weird. Pre-robotics-season, feels like so long ago. And in a way I guess it was.

All the wrong habits.
So this one scholarship I put off applying for and end up writing the 4 essays throughout my classes all day, and then typing them up during 7th and borrowing material from my college apps and then driving downtown and mailing it from the post office on the postmark day, 2 hours before the post office closes.
And then the FIRST scholarships I planned to apply to…not going to any of the schools offering them, not using pneumatics, not from Connecticut, and not studying on a ship. So just kidding about those. $14 million in scholarships only sounds impressive.
Looks like it’s back to those Fastweb sweepstakes.
Senior penant, rather than study for AP Gov tomorrow…because guess where AP Gov credits don’t matter anyhow. :D
My last piece of advice is this simple… Persevere. Because nothing worthwhile is easy.

Exciting stuff, mate!
Wait that wasn’t supposed to sound so sarcastic.
Although I guess it depends on who this is.
"paper tigers: what happens to all the asian-american overachievers when the test-taking ends?"
Kind of reaffirms every bit of nervous excitement I have about making the most of the next four years. Also, I feel really lucky to have lived the fringes of the tiger asian—the cultural exposure and high standards and all that, but without any of the problems (thus far) like mentioned in the article: the “math is pumping iron” mentality and test-taking, number-scoring brutality.
Wauw. Interesting / worthwhile read.
so i definitely didn’t go to a single one of my classes today
In my defense I intended to go to 6th but we were in Burlingame and Kenny was like “oh did you want to go back? 6th kinda already started.” -____- Ah well, it’s the thought that counts.

I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.
