Success truely is a lonely path. In my experience so far in high school, trying to succeed can really seperate you from everyone else. Not everyone wants to go the extra mile or even needs to especially in my school, however I often feel the need to try to attempt that one extra thing. And yet, even with my hardwork, and dedication so far my payoffs have not been great. For example, I have never gotten straight A’s ever, period. Even though, I strive to achieve them, they never come.

I can’t tell you how much I hate school buses…  Especially my bus, since I have to ride it for around 2 hours every day…  And for the last week the regular bus broke down and I’m stuck in a tiny sports bus that barely fits the route with all the little kids.  And then don’t get me started on the kids, they are freaking annoying and the only way to completly ignore them is to just turn on your headphones and listen to music… 

Also, I’m the oldest person on the bus, and I CAN’T WAIT to start driving next year to school!  I mean, driving in my quiet car with no distrubances…  Ah, that would be the good way to start off each day.  However, until then I’m stuck with 3 9th graders who just about the most retarded things, a bunch of 7th and 8th graders who try to act cool around the 9th graders and then the rest of just a bunch of little kids who just make a racket.  (more…)

You know that phrase right, “2 steps forward, 1 step back?” Well, as of lately I’ve been feeling that. The last month was just horrible in terms of grades, and life in general.

Well basically to sum up my position currently, I’m in a bit of a problem. The math course I’ve been taking these last 2 years has been an uphill struggle for me to keep up with the work and to do well in the classes. The only reason why I stayed in the Advanced course to Adv. Precal. is becuase I had a the previous math teacher vuach for me. For example, I finished the year off last year with a B+ however, my final exam was a high C+. Something other than the C+ told me I was burned out at the end of the year. In addition, all my exams were the same exact grade! So something went wrong at the end, maybe it was becuase I worked to hard or maybe the material was just too much. I’m not sure what was the problem, and now this year that problem is come back to haunt me.

Remember part 1? Yeah, that was awhile back but I thought I’d go ahead and finish this 2 part series. Well, since I talked about MySpace last time, this time I’ll talk about spammers and scammers.

First thing I’ll talk about is ad-farms… You know those sites where it’s just a bunch of ads and they try to put cookies on your computer so they can send you spam. Yes, I bet you all have visited them by accident whether you’ve typed in a wrong URL or clicked on a google ad or something. There only purpose on the web is to get money to the owner by spaming the webpage with ads.

Today’s generation is much different from the last generation. From the movies, comic books (more like online comics and mangs), and video games the world is a much different place…or is it? I just finished reading The Lexus and the Olive Tree, Thomas Friedman, and it brought a lot of questions to my mind. Is today’s world truely much different at least in the inside from the end of the Versialle age? Also, what is the future of the United States in the world? Will the US be able to mantain it’s hold on the world through it’s military and influence or will it fall to the UK, Russia, China, Japan, or any other similar country to lead the world? Currently, the US is the main super power in the world, not to say that the other countries like the UK, Russia, China, Japan, Korea, and others aren’t influencial but as of right now, and since the end of the cold war the US has led the world in advancing globilization.

One of my biggest pet peeves are when people use Internet slang. It’s retarded in my opinion, and the only slang phrases you’ll ever catch me using are: gtg, brb, IMO, and maybe ttyl. It transforms converstions like this:
Me: Hey
You: Hi
Me: What’s up?
You: nm, hbu?
