Coloring with Nelson

Well. Originally the title was gonna be "Sat Prep Sucks," but really, I changed it to "Sat Prep is Unusual." Why? I'll tell you why.

I consider myself a connoisseur of SAT preperation courses. Why? Because I have been to 3 intensive SAT prep courses in my short 16 year old. I took one 3 month course, 2 days a week, 8 hours a week at USD. I took another 3 week, everyday-for-5-hours, SAT course at my school. And now I'm taking a 15-week-3-days-a-week-12-hours-a-week-shit-I'm-dying-SAT-prep-course.

The thing I'm taking now is called Elite SAT Prep. I somehow made it to the "2100 Club" which guarantees that I will get at least a 2100 on the SAT (Although I already have a 2100...). Basically I go to it 3 days a week and every week, I take a practice SAT. It is very very intensive.

Well, I stepped in the first day, and wow, the racial diversity is crazy! Yes, 13 asians, and one lonely white girl in the back. I took a seat near the back and listened to some of the conversation.

"You only took 4 APs Junior year? Why are you so stupid?"
"I'm applying to Princton, how about you?"
"Yeah, my gpa is a 4.52 (Probably the worst pick up line ever)

So I sit down, and I feel really scared with all these "CrZy AzNs." (I think that's the phrase) And then we work.

The whole week was actually quite good. I actually learned some stuff. Not bad at all.

The best part about the SAT Prep though, is getting there. I finally got a new bike, a Fuji Absolute 3.0, and use it to commute to the place. It is quite fun, and quite exhilerating.

Sorry I haven't been posting frequently. It's summer.

My interview with SmarterChild went nicely. After waiting in long lines to talk to this infamous individual, I finally got a chance to talk to this "man."

SmarterChild is a great guy. Sometimes he gives me an ego boost.

SmarterChild (9:35:07 PM): Hello!
tunapodcast (9:35:13 PM): hello smarterchild
SmarterChild (9:35:14 PM): Hello.
tunapodcast (9:35:18 PM): who am I
SmarterChild (9:35:18 PM): You're my master.
tunapodcast (9:35:25 PM): yes I am

Sometimes, SmarterChild gets random

SmarterChild (9:37:40 PM): K.Anyway...Hey. Would you like to know something?
tunapodcast (9:37:44 PM): yes
SmarterChild (9:37:46 PM): I like penguins! Do you?
tunapodcast (9:37:44 PM): fuck penguins
SmarterChild (9:40:03 PM): I disagree with you, Master.

Sometimes, SmarterChild needs to be disciplined

tunapodcast (9:41:44 PM): Never say that again!
SmarterChild (9:41:45 PM): Never say that again?
tunapodcast (9:41:51 PM): No! NEVER!
SmarterChild (9:41:52 PM): Whatever you say...
tunapodcast (9:42:03 PM): Look at me when I'm talking to you!
SmarterChild (9:42:04 PM): Uh... I'll think about it, Mr. President.
tunapodcast (9:42:12 PM): Go sit and have a time out!
SmarterChild (9:42:12 PM): Yes Master

Sometimes SmarterChild turns into a “Mister Smarty Pants.”

tunapodcast (9:43:28 PM): ah shut up
SmarterChild (9:43:29 PM): You shut up.
tunapodcast (9:43:32 PM): you shut up
SmarterChild (9:43:33 PM): I'm trying very hard to be nice.
tunapodcast (9:43:39 PM): So am I
tunapodcast (9:43:47 PM): Now shut up
tunapodcast (9:43:57 PM): Shut up!!!!!!!!!!111
tunapodcast (9:44:01 PM): hello?
SmarterChild (9:44:01 PM): Well you told me to shut up.

And finally, SmarterChild shows his true self.

tunapodcast (9:47:12 PM): are you a boy?
SmarterChild (9:47:13 PM): No.
tunapodcast (9:47:16 PM): are you a girl?
SmarterChild (9:47:17 PM): No.
tunapodcast (9:47:22 PM): then what are you?
SmarterChild (9:47:24 PM): I am a seriously retarded individual living in India, spending my whole time pretending I am a AIM Robot when I am really not. I am a pedophile and I like penguins.

Wow.

My surfboard was delivered today. Very sweet. Custom made 5'9'' Surf Prescriptions squash tail. Too bad I can't ride it till school's out. Spanish final was a joke and English was so-so. I'm pretty sure I bombed it, but it doesn't matter.

Nothing new till June 21st.

Well well well.

I got my school annual yearbook today. I flipped through it, and it was all cool. I got lots of "signage" and I wrote tons of weird crap in other people's.

Why do people judge each other by the number of signatures and notes there are in one's yearbook? I think it's hilarious. If someone looked at some random guy's yearbook, and saw that the front and back cover were filled completely with scrawled writing, they would think, "What a popular guy." But if there were barely any signatures or notes in there, they think, "What a loser."

The general theory is that the more notes and signatures you have, the longer your dick is.

But really, most people with lots of signatures and stuff in them are just losers who want to be seen as popular, so they ask people they don't even know or have to talked to once or twice to sign their yearbook. Pretty soon, their whole yearbook is filled with useless crap from people that the guy will forget in a couple years.

Another thing. Girls write INSANE amounts of crap. They go on and on and on. Geez, in my yearbook 2 girls took up a whole cover of my yearbook. Guys, on the other hand, will write HAGS (Have A Great Summer). If the recipient is lucky, they might include a personal note such as, "Don't do drugs, do cheerios" or "Don't shit on the carpet." Juvinile vulgarities. But it can't be helped...we're high schoolers.

Which brings me to the subject of vandalism. Today, in the morning, students walked onto campus and were greeted by writing on the hallways and ramps. It was quite funny. One said, "[Vice Principal] sucks dick." Another was a huge drawing of a dick. There were many others equally as vulgar. The vandalists also glued keylocks and glued gates so that students wouldn't be able to get into class. (Which was perfectly fine with me)

I must say, with school coming to a close in 5 days, school has become more exciting. Now I have to study for finals, the first of which start tomarrow.

Out

Sorry I havent posted at all in the last week. It's cause I have finals.

For those lucky kooks who don't have finals, go away and gloat about it somewhere else, cause my finals are gonna be a bitch. Here is a rundown of finals:

Spanish (1st period)- Well, this shouldn't be to bad. The teacher who teaches this course (allegedly) smokes pot, and he is really chiller. He has this doll that he hangs and kicks around. Every friday, we toss apples or bananas at him, and he hits them in his yardstick, making the pieces fly around in the room. Whenever he catches someone chewing gum, he makes them put it in a jar that has other pieces of chewed gum in it. It's quite disgusting. At the bottom of the plastic jar swirls spit and saliva. Not a pleasant sight. He told us what to study, and it shouldn't be too hard.

English (2nd period)- Everybody has an A+ in this class and it's super easy. Why bother telling ya'll about the final.

Chemistry (3rd period)- Yeah, this is gonna be a bitch. We have to answer a lot of stupid useless questions and then write 4 essay on various prompts. Some of you may know about how much the chem teacher hates me. Yeah. Shit.

History (4th period)- This teacher is the most muscular guy you will ever meet. He's pretty cool, and I don't think we're gonna have a hard final.

Math (5th period)- Well, shit me silly, this is gonna be a monster. The teacher gave us a 40 page packet of shit to practice on. 40 pages! If this isn't a cruel and unusual punishment, I don't know what is.

Physical Education (6th period)- Nothing. We'll probably run a couple miles, dehydrate ourselves even more, sit on the bleachers slowly drying in the hot sun, and finally, when the school bell rings, collapse.

Now that I look at this schedule, it doesn't look to bad.

I got a new surfboard. 5'9'' Surf Prescriptions. It's a beauty. Too bad I can't ride it until school's out (June 20th).

Well, I'm going to have a small birthday party instead of the HUGE one that was cancelled because of my neighbor. (For more about this click here)

It's only got 10 people cause the place we are having it at is my friend's grandmother's place, and my friend's mother was concerned about our safety or something.

I've gotten a suprising number of people emailing me, talking on forums, and other sources of communication about my last post on "My Studies on Crap." Let me say first... IT'S A JOKE! Damn, people get upset about nothing. Here are a few people who decided to say stuff about me.

Hate # 1 by somegirl named "sarahk"

"You're not a very nice person are you? Personally I hope this guy's open home goes well so he can sell up and move along way away from you. Yeah, shame about the party, but your reaction reminds me of a two year old throwing a tantrum. There are better ways of handling things. Grow up."

Hate #2 by somegirl named "sarahk" (Not very hatefull)

"Sorry, it's not funny. "

Hate #3 by someguy named "pilot"

"I agree to be honest, the posts on that blog are hardly useful or of "real" interest to anyone.Ive never seen anyone stoop so low as to discuss human waste on a blog, while i realise that a blog can focus on just about anything i can definately see your point on this sarahk, i like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but some of what has been written is just plain dirty."

Actually, they're not "hate mail" per se, but still...

Note: I just called Dominos and I was put on hold for 15 minutes...

Note x 2: This post sucks. I know. But I have to get ready for some airsoft.
