Indeed. Yes, children, today was filled with pi-ness. In TOK we watched part of the movie Pi. It's quite interesting so far. In math, after completing another packet from hell (this was from a lesser hell, though) the juniors gathered together and wrote pi on the board. There was also an attempt to write it in binary, but this yielded unsatisfactory results.

Other than that, there was the joy of talking to Alex during lunch (and the desecration of Noam Chomsky), stealing Corey's calculator, eating the starburst graciously provided by Eric, and attending my first art club meeting this year. Hoorah.

Down with Mathematica! for it is hella expensive and does not go above base 36. For shame.

A Good Day

I liked Ivey's reaction to the chocolate. "Wow, THAT took a lot of thought... oh, wait... Oh! Thank you!" Ha ha ha. She'd forgotten about the lunch conversation. Yeah, but, today was not bad, especially for a 5-8 day. (I refuse to call them red and green days. Especially since I've forgotten which is which.) Talking to Greg in comp sci was really fun. Parsons helped me cut out part of my extended essay. (good bye locke! I won't miss you!) And one conversation is really great. It's all I need from him. It helped that I was in a good mood from talking to my other friends. And I talked to Vicky in comp sci, which was nice. I don't normally talk to people. Erm, that I don't know well. But I'm going to try to be more outgoing.

I saw Sara, and Alex and Chris, and Anthony and Paul, all at different times of the day, but still, I saw them. I waved to Sara, and she said hi. It's weird, because now there's a chance they'll recognize me. Before no one would even have noticed.

I got my second amazon order today. Something for my mom (Susan Tedeschi) and something for me, OK Computer. Yes, I am trying to expand my music collection, why do you ask? Just because I've bought three cds in the past week...

Now, off to my drawing homework.

Even more random than you'd thought was possible

Meh, well, I've made an outline for my e.e. and read a chapter in Beyond Good and Evil, done a crappy job on my history homework, attempted but immediately given up on the TOK papers, written a program in java that I wasn't assigned, neglected my art homework, done 9 physics questions/problems, and got cheesy presents for Ivey and Eric. A ghirardelli milk chocolate square for Ivey, as we had been talking about it during lunch on thursday and she had mentioned that she liked anything ghirardelli, and later that night, me and mum go out to jason's deli and BEHOLD - ghirardelli chocolate squares for sale. Eric's was a box of rice candies, since he gave me the sticker from one once, and he knows I like the japanese stuff, and so it would make sense coming from me, so yeah. Besides, who doesn't like rice candies? But I digress.

Taking pictures is fun. I've determined that a better light source makes my pictures less blurry. Why is this? Nevertheless, I like many of the blurrier pictures better. They seem to have more "character", or something.

I got amazon stuff over the weekend. Dizzy up the girl (Goo Goo Dolls), El Viaje de copperpot by Oreja de Van Gogh, and Gattaca. Gattaca was on sale and I liked it a lot when I first saw it. Neither of my parents have seen it, they both said they might want to watch it with me. So, I bought it. It's my first amazon order. Nifty. I have to make sure I don't get addicted though. Must conserve my money!

Sadly, mum couldn't find Ender's Shadow. And I thought our house had every book ever written in it. We probably do have it, just buried under piles of other books buried under piles of crap that came with us when we moved... 10 years ago. Wow. Been a long time, eh? Oh, but apparently Matt moved in second grade too, just a little before I did, so I didn't know he was a newbie too. I found this out several weeks ago... Why do I remember it just now? No explanation. Nobody knows. ...

I left my tapes in fox's classroom. Did I mention this? Pinocchio/Sleeping Beauty/something else, Cinderella, and simpsons, though I know not what episode. They're old, so presumably it's an early one.

I have a better senior picture now, I hope. I looked at the batch we took and chose my favorite, and since it was the wrong format I used the clone brush to make it vertical (rather than horizontal), and I think it now works. So yay! I have a better senior picture!

Don't mind the rambling. Tonight I'm rather random. I feel moreso than usual, and that's pretty scary.
