Thoughts

I really should finish my calculus homework. I should also be doing physics homework as well... Oh, darn I have to present that research tomorrow... I wonder how Simon got accepted? Maybe I should have changed my stats test... I made a fake research presentation today. It was on EV training Pokemon. Too bad that was just to stall Jone so I wouldn't have to present today. Come to think of it, it probably would have actually helped if I had presented today. Darn, I should have gone. Tomorrow is Wednesday. Do I have any Bio homework?... Probably, but I don't want to do it... How far am I in this book? 201... Not too bad... I don't mind the book so far, but people say it's really annoying/bad? I guess it just has a bad reputation... Whatever. I should finish now.

Accomplishment

Sigh, it was nice to finish the shed today. Don't mind the very cold temperatures, or the lack of a good jacket, it's nice to have finished the shed. Perhaps I'll take a picture later...

Also, a friend of mine showed me this AWESOME Medley to pokemon. I like it a lot.

That's all... Good Night

Writing more often

Many of the people that I am acquainted with suggested that I post more often on this blog. I apologize for not doing so earlier, especially to those who keep nagging me about it. I just can't seem to find motivation to write here much, but I guess I'll just listen to you and keep posting as much as I can on this blog. After all, not only does it help me with my essay writing skills for next year in AP English, but it also helps me prepare for the SAT. That's just awesome, in my opinion.

Thanks guys,

Sam Rho

I can't think of a good title

Yesterday, and this morning, my father and I decided that the shed my father had purchased needed to be assembled, so we worked on that. Yesterday, we were almost finished setting up the shed, but the roof of it wouldn't attach for some reason, so we decided to eat and put off the work until the next day. This morning, my mother had spoken with my father and they realized that the ground on which the shed had been placed was very nonuniform. In fact, it was actually more of a hill, than flat ground. I, of course, hadn't really noticed this and had just followed my father's instructions and helped to set up the shed. This morning, we had to move the shed into more level ground and dig up the place that the shed was to be put, to make it more level. We just about finished the digging of the first layer of dirt and we were adding bricks when my dad remembered I had a dentist appointment that day, so we quickly put all of the tools inside, got ready, and left. My father had warned about rain coming later in the day, so I figured there would be a little bit of rain during the drive home. That ended up being completely wrong. The rain was ridiculous, at first, like somebody was taking buckets of water and hurling them from the sky. My sister, who also had to get her teeth cleaned, was frightened as we drove home in the pouring rain.

As we approached home, the rain began to subside and it had dropped to a sprinkle by the time I came home. Although I was wet and cold, I didn't really mind, though, because I really didn't want to work on the shed again today anyway.

Anyway, off to read The Handmaid's Tale for Humanities.

Decision, decision, decisions...

If you're like me, you don't usually talk, even in discussions, because you either don't feel that your opinion is important enough or you just don't have an opinion on a subject. Well, that's how I usually am, anyway. That's why today was like a nightmare. I had to not only give my opinion on a subject, but also discuss why I came to my decision.

Today, I volunteered to be on the grant distribution panel for the United Way. It sounded pretty simple, because I figured I could do enough math in my head to figure out a reasonable distribution for most of the people, but these companies and groups that really wanted money from the United Way. In fact, a ratio of amount asked to amount available was like almost 3:1. That, to me, just seems ridiculous. Why are there so many people asking for so much money, and why isn't there more money in the funds of the United Way to give away?! I guess I haven't really experience the real world, yet. Since I am stuck in the mindset that even if there is a lack of money, that it can easily be dealt with, I didn't expect this sort of event to occur. Still, I guess it's a good experience to learn about the distribution of money in a nonprofit.

Well, I'm tired and I have a lot of homework to do now. I'll just end this post here...

Generic Post Title

Once, in the land of Sam, there was a person. His name was Sam and he always did any work that he had on time. This person named Sam then traveled to a land, known as the land of Vistas, which was located in the mountains, to study. When he arrived there, he learned many wonderful new things, such as calculus and physics, but he also gained a new, dark, evil trait. This was the trait known as "PROCRASTINATION"! This trait caused Sam to be lazier than usual and lack the motivation to do any work. Soon after he realized he had acquired this trait, he attempted to get rid of it, but the influence from the land of Vistas had stuck to him, he could no longer find the motivation to do many things early.
Then, Sam stumbled upon another land known as Minecraft! This was a very creative land where Sam could spend time building things such as houses and mines, but he soon realized that this would help his trait of procrastination even more by distracting him from the actual work he needed to do. Again, Sam tried to escape the grasp of the world of Minecraft, but it held fast and Sam was trapped. No matter what he did, his mind managed to wander back to the world and he would be there soon after the thought.
Soon, Sam found it rather challenging to force himself to work. His advisers, also known as his parents, attempted to force him to do work as well, but he was still unable to do much work. He even tried to eschew the things distracting him, such as the interwebs and Minecraft, but he was still unable to escape for long. After doing a bit of work, he would attempt to reward himself by going on the internet for a short period of time, or entering the world of Minecraft, but he could never stop himself from browsing or creating.
He soon realized that he had wasted so much time that the year of studying was quickly approaching its end. There would be AP tests, SAT tests, and even final exams coming up soon and he would have to overcome them all. Yet, when he attempted to study, his mind would wander and wouldn't allow him to concentrate. He knew he had to get back in the game, leave this Procrastination trait behind, and prepare for his tests, but he just couldn't get rid of the trait. Soon, he learned to cope with the trait, though. He managed to study and do work while also goofing off, but it caused him to stay up longer and his health actually began to deteriorate. Sam realized that he would have to change something soon, or he would have quite a bit of trouble in the near future dealing with health.

Sam, in this rather lengthy story/text/thing is actually me. I have had trouble doing work on time and finding the motivation to do things early ever since I entered governor's school last year. In fact, I feel so strongly that this procrastination trait is from governor's school that I actually bet my own younger sister $50 that I would do all of my summer work for all of my classes early for the coming year. She gladly took on the bet and said that the only money flow would be from me to her if I lost, no money the other way. I didn't really mind too much, because I felt confident that I would succeed. I guess I'll just have to see how this summer goes.

Wow... I almost forgot about this

It's been a while, and I have no excuses. I really have basically almost completely forgotten about this. Thanks to a friend of mine, I feel as if I can just write here like once a week, then I'll feel fine.

Well, over the course of the Spring Break that just passed, I didn't do much. I finished my homework and projects, then I basically just spent the rest of the time either at a church lock-in or playing games... Nothing really that exciting.

Hopefully I'll remember to post.
