ONE!

Posted in My (boring) Life on July 19, 2008 by flashofsummer

One day left!  I head off to CTY in less than twenty four hours!
For those who don’t know what CTY is, CTY stands for Center for Talented Youth.  It’s a three week program that takes place in various colleges across the country and in a few other countries.  To get it, you have to take the SATs or ACTs and receive a certain score.  There are about seven hours of class every day, morning, afternoon and study hall at night.
CTY isn’t just about learning though.  There are activities in the afternoon, dances during the weekend and breaks throughout the day.

Unfortunately for me, I awoke with an upset stomach.  It’s probably because of a) the chicken from Taco Bell yesterday b) too much watermelon or c) the heat.  The day before CTY.  But I think it’s getting better.  The rumbly feelings stopped!

Anyway, this is probably my last post for a while.  I have to finish packing.  I’ll update in three weeks with lots of randomness.

FOUR DAYS

Posted in My (boring) Life with tags on July 16, 2008 by flashofsummer

I’m counting the days until I reach home~  Well, CTY that is.  I get to go home for three weeks of the year, the rest of it I’m homesick.  Wah…

But yeah, I FOUR DAYS UNTIL CTY.  It’s going to be awesome.  Pure awesomness, ON A STICK.  How much better can it get?

I’m still in the process of packing; most of my clothing is all packed away but the rest of the stuff is still scattered around the house.  I don’t really know if I want to finish packing early, because then I’d have luggage sitting around, and a LOT of waiting to do.  So yeah…  There’s my CTY rant for the day.

I recently aquired a box of wasabi green peas to bring to CTY, and I must say, they’re REALLY addicting.  Overly spicy, but addicting all the same.  My mom says I have to slow down, or else I’m going to give myself a sore throat.  She also asked me if I was really going to finish that many in three weeks.  Here’s how the conversation went:

Her: Are you really going to finish the whole box at CTY?
Me: Of course.
Her:  You’re eating the WHOLE thing?
Me: Probably not.  Ammunition! :D
Her: FIVE DOLLARS ON AMMUNITION?!

I love these kinds of conversations.

I’m trying to finish a whole bunch of mini projects before I leave, but it’s not going to well.  My panda hat looks reeeaaaalllyy wierd (even though I’m still in the process of making it) so I’m a little bit unsure of how to proceed with it. :\

I’m also unsure of how to attach pokeballs to a belt.  How’s that gonna work?

Anyway, that’s my update for today.

Almost There…

I’m three weeks into summer vacation and I still haven’t done anything useful. At all. I sleep at one in the morning and wake up at eleven. I read, draw and watch anime. @.@

BUT! I’m gonna start doing something useful. Mainly because CTY is soon. LESS THAN TWO WEEKS! :D For Halloween (at CTY) I’m planning to dress up as a Pokemon trainer/ panda girl. I need to make panda hat, duct tape belt and I need to buy a black cargo shorts (and possibly ) and find my old pokeballs. I’m so excited. I WANNA SCREAM!

Oh, in one of the earlier posts, I was spazzing out about the SAT Biology subject tests. Well, I got 740! I was only aiming for something over 600. :D

I wanna write/draw a mini comic. I don’t know about what though. :\ Ah well. Oh, speaking of comics, visit this:
She’s awesome. SPREAD THE WORD.
