Year: 2003
Spanish
I do better in Spanish with Chan sitting behind me. In 7th grade I got like 99s on every test when Chan was sitting behind me. In 8th and 9th grade, I did well but got like mid 90s. So this year I didn’t study for either test and got a couple of 97s. (Well I almost studied for one but then I fell asleep because it was late.) It’s amazing. Go Chan!!
Site Trouble
If you tried to access this site in the past few days you may have noticed that it takes forever to load. The AOL servers are probably jammed and need rebooting. We’ll see how long this continues. I have removed the start up sound and some images (on this page only) to speed it up. Still, it is slow. Until I figure out what’s wrong with it, you’ll just have to deal with the slow speeds.

Do NOT Ask Me for TI-83 programs
Here is my new policy. NO ONE WHATSOEVER gets any graphing calculator program from me anymore. It’s a shame because I was giving them out at first. However, some certain person keeps threatening me for them and now that person just ruined it for everyone. I try to be fair to people and this is what happens. Certain people don’t even bother with me but if they need something I’m their first preference. Not anymore. Plus, I have my own work to do and don’t have time to download custom programs. Especially Tetris. Let me tell you something about Tetris. It really sucks on the TI-83+ and in order for it to work, you need like 12 files. I just don’t have the time to transfer 12 files to 100 people. Another point to ponder. Some of these programs really mess up your calculator and I don’t feel like buying everyone a new one. So it’s not that I’m selfish or mean. I have my reasons.
If you want programs, spend $20 and get the cable yourself or buy a TI-83+ Silver Edition which comes with a cable. It’s not like I’m some immaculate being that is the only one able to get programs. A $20 USB cable won’t break the bank. GET IT AND PLEASE DON’T BOTHER ME.
What is Wrong with the RIAA?
The RIAA has gone too far with these lawsuits. First of all there are tens of millions of Americans sharing files on networks. Trying to sue every one will not accomplish anything. When you have mass copyright infringement, you can’t stop it. If three people were doing it, that’s a different story. These greedy bastards want every record sale and decide to sue people for distributing music. But in their haste, what do they do? Sue 12 year old girls. Instead of worrying about catching druggies, terrorists and criminals, they sue 12 year olds for something that isn’t causing trouble to anyone. Meanwhile, there’s four Arabs loose in this country planning to terrorize. Yet, we worry about file sharing. Priorities people.
See, this lawsuit business was thought up by some clown because record sales dropped. Did those idiots consider that the economy’s in a depression, any maybe people aren’t spending as much? No, the immediately blame file sharing. I’ll bet the children of these people download music themselves. What nonsense. DO NOT BE AFRAID.

There better never be a fire in EHS. The genius staff there decides to change all the fire exit routes for each room in the building. Then, there is a new policy where attendance has to be taken outside. Well anyway, if there was a real fire, we’d all burn or suffocate to death because it took like five minutes to get out. The hallways were jammed with people and I went deaf from the loud bells ringing in my ear. Once we got outside, attendance was taken. The reason for this is that in case there is a real fire, they want to know if anyone is missing so they can send someone in. Believe me, if there ever was a real fire and the school was in flames, the hell with the escape route. I’ll go my own way to get my ass out of there as fast as I can. Then later I’ll try to be accounted for.
That’s the problem when rules are changed… Everything was fine last year. Now its so strict.
