Friends are only enemies who don't have the guts to kill you

Both of my AP tests are this week. Compsci is on Wednesday and Calc is on Thursday. My schedule this week is quite irregular, involving a total of...(+ 3 1 2 1 4)...11 classes instead of the normal...(+ 5 3 4 4 4)...20. I came to school on Sunday to study Compsci for six hours. Only three other nerds showed up to study. Mr. Paley spoke of his experiences at college for awhile. He said it was easier than high school. I can't judge the validity of that statement due to my lack of knowledge on the subject.

Several things happened since my last post including Calculus camp, which completely took away the little fun that might have once existed within the subject of Calculus. Now it's just boring. When we arrived at Calculus camp we studied for several hours and then returned to the cabins. The cabin next to the one I was in had a raccoon fetus on its floor. Apparently someone had left the door open and a pregnant raccoon came inside. There was blood all over the bunks and on people's stuff. The raccoon fetus was twitching, so someone who worked at the camp came by and took it outside. It probably died. The lesson learned from such an experiece may be to never leave cabin doors open. Or maybe it has to do with running around while giving birth. That's probably not a good idea either.

I sent my SIR form to UCSD. That means both myself and UCSD know that I will be going there. People from UCSD, and pretty much all the colleges that I visited, continuously say to come to college "without any expectations" or "with an open mind." Okay.

I'm content as I do not have Biotech the rest of the week due to the irregular schedule. I'm not content because I don't like Biotech, but because we're doing a really stupid lab that nobody understands and thus constantly screws up on and has to start over. I don't have to think about it if I'm not going to be there. Well, I choose not to think about it.

It's good that both my APs are this week and thus by Friday I'll be done. I'm not worried about Calculus as I did really well on the practice tests that I took. Compsci is not nearly as intiminating as it was at the beginning of the year. I believe I can do well when I compare it with the Spanish AP test that I took last year. I'm not fluent in Spanish and yet I "passed" but I am fluent in the level of C++ that is required for the Compsci AP test, which is good. I still need to practice things such as free response questions that involve writing functions that recursively manipulate trees represented as linked lists. Since the only class I have tomorrow is Physics, I have time to do this.

I also turned eighteen.
