~ I am a member of two show-specific fan sites, Hers and Hers and His Online (a Three's Company forum) and Harper House (a Mama's Family forum). I am also the sole administrator at the latter site. The communities there are very small, personal, and friendly (and composed of many of the same people as each other), which I much prefer over the huge anonymity of TV.com. Both of them give me more than enough chance to chat, and take away more than enough of my precious time. If you are fan of either show, please come join the forums! We'd love to have you there. Plus, they're the only places you'd be able to chat with me now.
~ I found a great new TV site that I plan on becoming a dedicated contributor to, The TV IV. Not only does it have the attractive simplicity of dear old TV Tome, but it is a wiki, just like Wikipedia. That means that any contributions anyone makes are added right away--none of this editor/contributor/approval stuff, which, to be frank, I always found kind of annoying. I encourage you to join and contribute, too. It's relatively new, and virtually all the guides are blank, so they need all the new members they can get!
~ Whatever time I don't spend at the above websites will probably be eaten up by my new career as a full-time English major at Penn State. Enough said about that.
Before I go, I'd like to thank all my friends (too many to list, you know who you are) for all the great memories. We've had quite a few interesting discussions. And I'd like to apologize for any times I may have accidentally offended anyone.
So, that's pretty much it. I may return here once in a while, but don't wait up for me. One year, three months, and 3,565 posts later, I'm leaving. Adios, TV.com! Crazy Legs has left the building.
First week of May, I had four AP exams. How fun! English language? It was okay. Spanish language? Don Juan I am not! English literature? Alright, except for the stupid essays. Not that I don't like essays, they just pick the most boring stuff to write about. Calculus AB? Ha! Just read my previous blog to find out how bad I thought it would be, then multiply that by "the integral from 0 to pi of the ln(x) dx" to find out how bad it really was!
At the end of that hellish week, I had a reprieve. Prom! I had asked my friend Maureen to go with me, but she wanted to go stag because all of her friends were. My friend Katie had asked our friend Dan to go. He was being weird about the whole thing, and finally ended up going with someone else. I will neve figure that kid out. So, Katie and I were there for each other in our "hours of need" and went with each other. She took her good old time coming to meet me before the dance, but after that, it was really fun. A lot of the time, though, we were separated and dancing with other people. Oh well, it was an awesome night. Post-prom was awesome. We had the most amazing magician and illusionist. They were so amazing, everyone was freaking out!
Got home at 5:30 after post-prom, and got a few hours sleep. Then my family went on a three-hour drive to my cousin's wedding reception (and had a few fights trying to find our way there). Receptions are always fun, but this one was kind of unorthodox. My mom and aunt both said that they did everything out of order (like the cake-cutting and dancing). Plus, they had a giant roast pig for dinner. One very good thing: I participated in the garter-toss for the first time in my life. Didn't catch it
On the 12th, me and my vice principal went up to Harrisburg for a luncheon with the bishop, since I was a National Merit Semifinalist. There were six other kids from the diocese there. They were all really cool. Fun time.
Two weeks ago, we got yearbooks. I was the copy editor, but was kind of lax in my duties this year. What can I say? Senioritis! Fortunately, my friends, also editors, could always cover for me. It's a good book, but everyone's picture looks idiotic--especially mine!
Last week was finals. I was exempt from all of them except Calc (big surprise). Didn't think anything could be worse than the AP exam, but this was. I got half of it done. Half. Whatever--as long as I pass the class for the year, I dont give a ****. I'm going to shut up about it now, because I never want to think about that class again.
Last Thursday was our last day of classes. WOO-HOO! We did nothing all day but sign yearbooks, and let out a great big AMEN after the final prayers. We're done, and we survived!
Graduation ceremonies are this week. Awards ceremony tomorrow, Baccaleureate on Wednesday, and Graduation on Thursday. Can't wait! We have graduation outside in our stadium, so hopefully we'll have good weather--I DO NOT want to be crowded into the gym. I'll let you know how everything goes--and I PROMISE I'll do this one on time!
I thought that this deserved mention. All my life, I've been a reasonably good math student. In fact, I used to be kind of a freakin' genius at it. (I'd be overwhelmed by everyone asking for help, etc.) Last year in Pre-Calculus, however, was a torture test. Our teacher couldn't teach (everyone thought so), and the stuff we studied--it may has well have been written in Klingon.
This year, I'm having even more "fun" in AP Calculus. Integrals, limits, derivatives--the whole nine yards. Now, no offense meant to anyone who likes math--but this stuff seems so pointless to me! And everyone else! We waste all of our time doing hand-ins and studying for tests. But the difference between me and everyone else is, they all seem to have at least half a clue as to what's going on. I have NO idea! Well, let me clarify: differential calculus was okay, once I kind of figured it out. But this integral stuff--my god! I'm floundering in a swamp of washers and disks! (If you've taken calculus, you'll know what I mean!) And the BEST part is, in less than two weeks I get to take the AP exam--3 straight hours of busting my brains--half of it without a calculator!
Fear not, though--the exam doesn't affect my grade (not that there's that good a grade to be affected), I'm not majoring in math, and I've already been accepted to college--so I should just take it easy and do my best, right? Too bad it's going to make me feel like a total idiot anyway! ![]()
