01:10 am: My life update.
Alright, this has bee held up long enough; I’m finally free to write it; though for your sake I will try to refrain from writing anymore essay blogs and instead use good old fashioned bullets :D



- 1. I couldn’t come online since September because my internet backed out on me so I was in a pretty sticky situation, especially since I need it for school too; I sometimes had to use the library computers, or my dads laptop. The my computer got some stupid virus and that just made it all the worse- I was absent the end of October mainly because I got over loaded with homework, so now real excuse there :D
- 2. I have been able to make graphics though, once we got the computer back up and running, from the tons of pictures I have saved, mainly icons; and I entered a few quick contests for, well most of them. I would usually save them to a usb and upload them using my dad’s laptop, but I couldn’t blog because then he’d read it and I don’t want that, and msn was obviously off limits
- 3. I’ll wait a few days before posting the icons though because some of them are still in the middle of voting
- 4. I have some birthday cards I need to get off of my computer and upload, so look out for those
- 5. School has been crazy busy, especially with three AP classes, Statistics is giving me the most trouble though; and my AP English teacher doesn’t really teach us, I want my last years AP teacher back; but my AP Government teacher is fine, I had him for regular US History last year, so it wasn’t a real big transition or anything
- 6. Everything was going okay, until my IEP came around and, for those of you who don’t know, that stands for Individual Education Plan; so the teachers have to comment on how I’m doing, and it was all good, except for the fact that I take longer to get things done, but once they found out that I am allowed to get extended time that was cleared up; but a few of them also think I’m tiered, which I honestly have to laugh at because so are the other 100 kids taking AP’s and stressing their brains out to get into respectable schools...but the thing that bugs me is that these emailed ‘reports about me’ where sent to all the teachers, back and forth, which to me doesn’t seem right, I mean, that information should be between me and each teacher and I don’t want those teachers who have nothing to do with it seeing them! It’s embarrassing and unsettling not knowing what’s being said about you…
- 7. October 15th, my dads best friend from India, and our uncle, whom we had met not long ago, died from a massive heart attack and he was quite a headstrong and rich guy; famous and feared in his parts- so it was a big lose to a lot of people especially his children and wife, whom he married out of choice even though many people didn’t want them to. My dad went to Canada, (that’s were he was at the time) and attended his funeral the same day- that bummed me out a lot and considering it was around the same time as all of my IEP stress, I got a little teary at school that day but sucked it up
- 8. Picspam couldn’t happen because I think that’s what screwed up my computer, seeing as how I did have over 100…I’ll try later though, hard to find time during school, I barely squeeze in icon making
- 9. SAT’s and Subject tests are driving me up the wall and my teachers are not considerate of the fact that we all have college applications to get done, event hough they said they would lighten the load around this time…

Okay, so it was just an essay blog in disguise. :P My apologizes. And as usual, I'm sure I've forogtten something that I'll probably remember later.
