well, i think i really must be tired when i blog. cuz i don't even remember half the stuff i put on there...ahahaahah...wooops

anyways, we went to rice today for the math competition. got up at 0500 on a bleh saturday morning. it looked like it was gonna rain again, but now its really sunny outside! yay! on the bus ride there i finally got to listen to the coldplay cd. i like it a lot. they're an AWESOME band. in fact, i like them so much that i even "stole" punag's coldplay cd. or rather, just "fergot" to give it back to him..heheh.sorrie punag!!! i'll give it back to u on monday.but the bus ride was really fun. apoorva, thida, christine, jessica, punag, justin, hayden, me all sat in the back. we were extremely loud. especially jessica..she's sooo happy in the mornign!! (that's a good thing)..hehehe...we all love her anyways..i think we actually mananged to scare ryan away cuz we were being so loud. he was sitting close to the back by us, but he moved up to the front later. ooops. ^_^. then justin and apoorva both brought their drumsticks and were banging around on the seats while hayden "flowed."..hehe i know what "flow" means now!!..lol...(used to think it mean "raving"...haha..shows how out of it i am) of course, the math tests were impossibly hard as usual. power team - got about 2 questions rite. eric and me spent most of the time before the power test started drawing UT symbols on the chalkboard..hehee..when the proctor came in (some really cool hippie guy with hair longer than mine, a beard, glasses, and a hot pink shirt..@_@) he glanced at the board and was like.uhhh....ahahahaaha..ok, so we kinda flunked the power test. then the algebra test was impossible too. and the calculus test too. i think i only got one rite on the algebra test. don't even ask me about calculus..hehee..i spent most of the time drawing on the scratch paper..i can draw pretty picutures now!!..hehe *sigh* pitiful isn't it, every year i get to practice my doodling skills whenever we go to a math competition. i think i did the exact same thing when we went to A&M...haha

speaking of A&M, that reminds me of colleges...lol, i think my chinese teacher and christine have both brainwashed me into going to UT..ahahaha...but seriously, i never thought that UT was a bad school. in fact, i thought it was relaly really good...i could never understand why my mom always got mad wheneever i mentioned going to UT....i mean, as christine very wisely put it, it really doesn't matter that much where u go to college, since it all kinda equals out once u go and get a job. i dunno...i don't even know what i want to go study yet. which might be a problem, seeing how next year at this exact same time, i'll probably already know where i want to go to college. skarie. it's really skarie how everyone's growing up so fast. people i've known since 2nd grade (lesse: lauren, punag, apoorva, kyle, sid, etc, etc..) are almost adults now..just one more year and they'll be 18. now that really freaks me out, seeing how there's the whole "war" thing going on right now. i don't want my friends to be drafted into any kind of war. i never really thought of war as a big thing, until now, when i actually might be affected. but i don't want to be affected. i think i liked it better when i just stayed in my happy little bubble. i think its like what gandalf says..that thing about how all people who live in times like this wish that they hadn't been born then. estoy de acuerdo, but it's gonna be really hard to handle. makes u wonder what we have done to deserve this kind of stuff.

i wonder where this will all lead to.

man, this started out as a happy blog..what happened??..lol
