For most girls, this isn't particularly noteworthy, but I thought it was pretty weird because I hate talking on the phone. I don't know even know why I hate it; it's not like I ever ... http://kycoo.jing-wen.com/2008/11/15/the-phone/ You know the best thing about Halloween? No one cares if you bring a lightsaber to school. Anyway, Halloween was actually major suckage this year, but I'm pretending it was all good because it's depressing if Halloween isn't fun. But seriously, a test? A test? Mr. Economics Teacher, I really don't ... http://kycoo.jing-wen.com/2008/10/31/jedi-in-disguise/ My mom has just informed me that she's signed me and my sister up for our church's pro-Proposition 8 march next week. Basically, it's a protest against legalizing gay marriage in California. I'm really upset about this. I don't believe in gay marriage, but I also don't believe in walking around ... http://kycoo.jing-wen.com/2008/10/12/marching/ For the past few years, I've been under the impression that I manage my time well and that I'm a good student. Apparently, I've been deluded. http://kycoo.jing-wen.com/2008/10/08/no-time/ I had my senior portrait session today.

Calculus is definitely my most grueling class this year; I'm already kind of lost when it comes to vertical tangent lines and cusps. But whatever. Although I'd like to say something optimistic like "Everything's okay once you get past the first ... http://kycoo.jing-wen.com/2008/09/07/two-weeks/ My first day of my last year in high school starts tomorrow. I'm determined to make it a good year. Also, the Olympics closing ceremony was amazing. Not quite as jaw-dropping as the opening ceremony, but awesome nonetheless. Plus there were people dressed up as the official mascots; the panda is ... http://kycoo.jing-wen.com/2008/08/24/senior-year/ Nothing particularly prosperous happened today, except my sisters and I met our old preschool teacher when we went out to eat lunch. She remembered all of us, but she only recalled my older sister's name. (I blame my parents for giving us obscure names -- and they're not even "cool" ... http://kycoo.jing-wen.com/2008/08/08/auspicious-date/ I decided to become apathetic in sixth grade. Looking back, it's easy to see why I started in sixth grade. Sixth grade was the year I entered middle school and started to doubt everything about myself. Prior to sixth grade, I'd never cared about self-image. I didn't have to -- because I ... http://kycoo.jing-wen.com/2008/07/26/project-apathy/ A lot of the appliances in my house seem to be malfunctioning. The water heater isn't heating water. The freezer isn't freezing. One of the faucets isn't faucetting. These three started breaking yesterday. Ironically, yesterday was the day I finished Catch-22 (the first of two books on my summer reading list), ... http://kycoo.jing-wen.com/2008/07/10/summer-break/
