Haha! (success)

I remembered to post! I'm so proud of myself! I can't believe it! Although, I should be asleep now. Biology is keeping me up... I probably should have done this earlier, like when I got home today. Oh well.
Today has been nice, just church and then studying. a little Dragon Ball Z in between. I hope I will sleep by 10 if this lab isn't too long.

No Excuses...

I would say that I was busy or that I had other things to do, but that would be lying. I have neglected to write here for a while. This is really disappointing because I even have the app for this on my iPod, so I can write something almost anywhere! Sigh, at least I did it today. I hope I continue to remember to write here so that I can read this to myself later.
Since the last time I wrote, I've been doing much homework and have also been studying it up! Here's a summary of what happened in school:

I actually got an F for the first time on a test in an actual class. I mean, I've gotten pretty low grades in online calculus, but I don't really count those because I end up getting an A in the end. Anyway, I got an F on a Physics test, which I did actually study for! It was ridiculous because I got a 49%, but it was still actually a decent grade on the test because others in the class had gotten 41%'s and 65%'s. The highest grade in the class was a 93%, but the guy who got it was the only person to get an A, the next highest grade was a 70%. It was ridiculous. Since then, my mother and father have tried to make me change my ways in order to avoid that happening again. I've been restricted in game-play time and my study time has increased. It's been a rather depressing time.

Next, I've also recently begun the Nuzlocke Challenge in its purest form. Sure, there are alternate forms out there, but the rules that I'm playing by are straight from the comic, which I read all the way through. I just finished playing Pokemon Red version in about 30 something hours, according to the game, but it's probably been a little less than that, considering I've been playing on VisualBoy Advanced and have been playing at 300% speed for the entire game. Anyway, I finished with Charizard, Snorlax, and Kadabra left. All the other good Pokemon I had trained had died during the Elite Four and the others had died from fighting Mewtwo. The highest level I had was a level 55, which was my Kadabra, (nicknamed Genius) so it's expected that I might lose some Pokemon to the Elite Four. Well, Hopefully, I'll have just as much success playing Pokemon Crystal version as I did playing Pokemon Red.
Well, tomorrow is church followed by  studying for AP Biology and AP Physics, wish me luck!

Working Hard

I've slowly begun to work a little harder, trying to get more work done earlier than usual, but this requires a bit of motivation. For example, I worked through my physics homework diligently, then, after finishing the homework, rewarded myself with a little bit of browsing through Facebook. After a few minutes of that, I began to do my Humanities homework. I just finished that and am rewarding myself by goofing off a little and writing some things here. I think I might have missed a few days, but I don't have any actual readers, with the exception of myself, so it matters not. Anyway, I got my motivation from a 14 year old Asian kid who already graduated college and has been writing a book about how you don't need to be a genius to be smart, you just have to work hard and have lots of motivation. The kid apparently only watched 4 hours of T.V. a week, which amazed me. I usually watch about 10 hours a week, and that's mostly because I watch Jeopardy and Saturday morning cartoons. Yes, even a high school-er still watches those. Anyway, off to goof off, maybe study a little for biology later.

Excitement

     Programming... is really exciting. I mean, all I can do right now is sort of make an array and kind of make text show up and a little bit of replacing %something symbols with characters, strings, and integers, but I really like it. I just had a discussion with Dylan Garvis about whether I should continue to take C and then move on to C++ and finally get to Java or just go straight to Java. After some research, I found that many people found C to be more in depth, which, I liked the sound of, so I told him. Then, after some more discussion, I found that he said that I might as well learn C and C++ because they're both relatively easy. Therefore, I'm going to continue to learn through WiBit.net and go from C to C++ and then all the way to Java. I'm so excited!

It's been a while

Well, I have neglected to write here for a while, but I have an explanation:

• I've been playing Minecraft pretty hardcore lately. Yesterday, I was playing for a few hours straight, it was ridiculous.

Basically stuff like this, just taking hours to do it.

• Along with that, I've had less motivation since the SATs ended. I don't usually write blogs or in a day book, so the entirety of this writing daily thing is a new habit I will have to adjust to. I apologize for that, myself, if I read this later.

I don't really like writing in general

• Another thing is that I'be recently been getting much more homework from my teachers at Governor's school, so I've been staying up past 11PM doing all the homework. 

This is my face when I see my Physics homework.

• Finally, yesterday, I began learning how to program using this website called WiBit.net. It's pretty exciting because I've always wanted to program, but I had lacked the teacher and motivation to read a book on programming because they're gigantic. I really didn't want to read books that were huge. So, through this website, I can just watch videos on programming whenever I want! Much easier than reading. I've been taking notes and everything. So far, I've only been learning C, but hopefully I'll finish this and be able to quickly learn c++ and java before next year because I'm hoping to take AP computer science, which is basically learning how to program and be slightly ahead of the class. Of course, I can only hope, so I may fail and end up quitting this website, but I really like programming, so I will really try and stay with the program and keep learning how to program!

      Speaking of programming, today at church, I told my friends that I was learning how to program and showed them one of the programs I had made and they immediately assumed I could now hack their emails, Facebooks, etc., which I am, as of yet, unable to. Hopefully, though, I will be able to learn how to do that and have that as a resource to blackmail and threaten people, which I don't see any reason why I would have to, but it will just be nice to know that it is possible. This computer programming thing, hopefully, will be like the time I learned how to make programs on my calculator back in 7th and 8th grade, those were fun times. Well, this is all for this post, hopefully I will remind myself to write here everyday.

Happiness

After a long day of hard work, some devastation at my grade, and fun making proteins, I am happy. I haven't really been unhappy since a few days ago, but I'm really happy today. Sleep will be so nice today. I guess I won't really write much today. Except this, "NAIL 'EM UP!"
