TOOOOOO DOOOOOOO
Q1:
1. Get Ms. Kate to sign the Advisor contract.
2. Read The Creative Brain and start on the books Ms. Kate suggested (Out of Our Minds and Last Child in the Woods)
3. Start forming ideas for surveys and experiments!
4. Keep an eye on the weather forecast...
(This is all I can think of right now. I'll make sure to update this post if there are more goals.)

What a week
to lose internet.
And yeah, my house still internet-deprived. RAAAAAAAAAAWR
You ask how I am able to update this blog? I'm at the LSU library, on my sister's account.
Well, just imagine how I felt when I took a look at the assignment page this morning. I curse the necessity of internet.
Anyways, this week I took some pretty good pictures of nature. Whenever I retrieve my internet, I will upload the photos.

Update
It is 6:31 pm, and I am now starting on my lab report. Apparently, I am a lot slower than I thought I was.
Also, intensely staring at the computer screen for too long hurts my eyes. Every time I take my eyes off the screen, I see blobs of lights and shadows everywhere and it doesn't go away...

OH YEAH, it's 5:41 and I'm not even done with my research outline. My to-do list was a waste of time.
An's To Do List Sunday
CAN I COMPLAIN?
3:45-5:00 - Research outline
5:05-6:00 - Lab Report
6:05-6:30 - Le Petit Prince
6:35-7:10 - Physics worksheet
7:15-8:15 - Study Math
8:15-whenever - English project
I'll try to add in dinner and shower somewhere.
AND I have a good reason why I did not start half of this yesterday.
Yesterday:
9:00-1:00 - Went to clean at church
1:00-2:00 - Went to my dad's friend's house to do something with his pond (I didn't want to go)
2:00-2:30 - Came home, showered
3:00-4:30 - When to Madeline's house to work on the English film
4:30-10:00 - Went back to church for "Asian Christian Fellowship"
I came home around 10:30 and fell asleep.
If there are more weekends like this in the future, I'm going to kick somebody.
Something Honors Sem. related: The weather yesterday was beautiful. I realized that if gray rainy weather was also part of this weekend, I think I would be more insane than I am now.

Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Nay chur
FAIL.
I came home too late to be able to play outside for 30 minutes (yesterday and today). However, I did go outside for about 10 minutes today and decided to take some pictures of the sunset (sadly, it was already kinda gone...)
SPEAKING OF SUNSET, I saw the prettiest one this evening. The sky was pink and yellow. The bright bright neon orange horizon was surrounded by a thin line of purple clouds.
Too bad a pretty sunset like this only lasts for a couple of minutes until darkness takes over.
However, I'm a big fan of a clear and starry night as well. Too bad we don't get that too often here.

The parents agree
My parents think I'm crazy too. They think I spend too much time in my room doing homework and studying (which is 75% true).
They instructed me a routine that I need to follow daily, which consists of

Cough
Everyone thinks my blog is depressing. I'm sorry.... dot dot dot. It's okay, my venting session will end here. haha.
Oh yeah, the blog I "lost" was actually posted on the Hon Sem blog. Oops.
Anyways, I had a little conference with Mr. Engholm and Kaleigh about my thesis. I still feel very strong about it, and hopefully I'll continue to be this enthusiastic for the next 14 months or so.
My plan now is to write a narrative about my perception of my dad's experience in the war, so this is obviously going to be a creative thesis. God, please grant me writing skills and help me overcome all da bad grammar I gots.
Anyways, I was thinking, wouldn't it be awesome if I get to visit Vietnam this summer with my dad? That would help majorly...

Double You Tee Eff
I posted a really long post during class but that somehow got deleted...? Anyways, I'm at home now so I can't repost it again since my files are saved on the school's computers. I guess I'll do it again tomorrow...

We're All Going to Die
The routine of showering gets so boring and hackneyed (vocabulary word!) that it makes showering an opportunity to think a lot. Anyways, I took a shower yesterday and one of the things that creeped up my mind was the Mayan's prediction of the end of the Great Cycle in the year 2012. Then I started thinking about the Great Tribulation.
There are still a lot of things I want to do. If the world really will end in the year 2012, I'm quitting school now.

FOB
What if my phase of horrible grammar does not end by the time I start writing my paper?
I'm kind of stressed out about everything. EVERYTHING. My definition of everything is really everything, not just school and friends and whatnot.
Someone just asked me in a really rude tone why I am doing homework now when I don't have school tomorrow. IDIOT. Let me just disregard all the homework I have this weekend and cram the two tests, essay, studying for SAT, English project, and Hon Sem video on the last day so I can stress out even more! At times like this, I wish I had a big piece of brick by my side to throw at anyone who asks me a dumb question.
What makes me even more irritated is trying to get work done in this house with the two little loud obnoxious sisters.
Is it alright if someone come steal me away?

Success!
After talking to Mr. Engholm about where I am with my thesis, I have narrowed down to two specific topics:
1. Write a memoir about my dad's experience in the Vietnam War, and somehow incorporate a thesis and message in the story. I would most likely put in an anti-communism tone.
2. Research the behaviors of a certain age group (such as teenagers) and determine whether the majority of the group is more mature or less mature than they should be for their age. OR determine to find if females mature faster than males.
As of now, I am actually more interested in writing about my dad's past. I can't wait til I get to talk to him about it.

Elimination
I've decided that having a thesis based on Vietnam's declining economy is not such a good idea for me because
1. The occurrence of the Vietnam War is the only thing I know about the history of Vietnam. (what a shame, my own native country...) Also, history is not my forte.
2. My knowledge of the political theory, communism, is not so vast.
3. It's not safe to write a 20 page paper on something that can change the very next day. In my case, it's the economic decline of Vietnam in which the communist government is responsible for.
It sounds like a good thesis, I'm not going to lie, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle a lot of information in such a time frame.
As for my other options, I'm still very interested in human behaviors and actions. As a matter of fact, I think I'm more fascinated with psychology and sociology than I am with communism...

An Rand
On my way home, I was deeply contemplating about my search for a thesis. I came to the conclusion that I also want to do something with art. Sociology, anti-communism, and art. Hmmmm, where have I heard that before? OH, THAT'S RIGHT. THE FOUNTAINHEAD.
And you ask me why I love that book.

First entry, w00t
It feels weird blogging with so many people sitting in the same room as me. It's all part of the paranoia I have with people reading over my shoulder. But I'm sure no one is. I think.
An update on finding an interesting thesis: I think I have checked out more books last week from the Aldrich Library than I have ever checked out in my entire student life at Episcopal. I guess it's pretty shameful to admit because I only checked out ten books...
