BECAUSE
I often have dreams...
where I find a rented video game somewhere in my room, and realize that it is about 10 years over-due
where I am taking a really difficult test, I concentrate hard on each question as if I were taking an actual test, and when I wake up in the morning it feels as if I just took a really hard test because I DID EXCEPT IT WAS A DREAM SO IT DIDN'T COUNT BUT I TOOK IT AAAHHHH!!!
where I kill people, such as Johnny Knoxville, with a sniper rifle, even though I watch Jackass often and would never kill someone, unless I DID in which case it ALREADY HAPPENED!

Ocean
The AP grade report that I received didn't include my AP scores from last year, so I contacted Collegeboard and they claimed that my scores were in separate files in their database. They then said they merged all of the scores onto a cummulative transcript that they will send to me and college I selected during AP testing (UCSD) in mid-July. I'm not quite sure that what they claimed they did was what they actually did, but instead something they were supposed to do but didn't, which is why I reported the problem in the first place. It is getting near August and neither I nor UCSD has received the said, updated, correct copy of my AP grade report. It is getting near the time when I should call Collegeboard over and over, cursing at them.
I have one more week of my Psych class, which has proved to be exceedingly easy in the manner which it is taught and its students are evaluated. We were allowed three lines of prompt notes for each of the ten questions on the midterm, so I wrote extremely small and packed everything I could into those three lines. This method worked, as I received a 100/100 on the midterm allowing me to take the final at home on the "honor system." On Tuesday we watched a two hour movie on Nelson Mandela that literally had NOTHING to do with Psychology. The problem was that it was in the middle of the lesson, so I couldn't leave if I wanted to take notes on the material we were going to go over after the movie (which, not surprisingly, had literally NOTHING to do with Nelson Mandela). We watched a similar movie on Wednesday (in that it was completely unrelated to Psych) except fortunately it was after the lesson, so I was able to leave in the middle of it. I should have left before it started, but didn't for some reason. Maybe I foolishly assumed it had to do with Psychology somehow.
I wrote down a note to myself to print out the financial aid signature page using another computer in my house, one with a version of Adobe Acrobat Reader that isn't f'd up. Unfortunately, I don't read my own blog, and I forgot. I received a letter from UCSD essentially telling me to SEND THE @#$*%*# SIGNATURE PAGE! So I did, and I don't think anything went wrong. That doesn't mean that nothing went wrong, as I carefully used the word "think" instead of simply stating that nothing went wrong. I think. Without that last sentence. Meaning the one preceding the one before this one. The two previous sentences are sentence fragments.
I realized that my brain is very active at night, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep, which is extremely inconvenient. It is difficult to go to sleep when you're thinking too much, because you are in an alert state. I tried to go to sleep at 1 this morning, and I spent 2 hours thinking before I finally fell asleep. I think that I think too much, but that's just me thinking. The next post will not include the word "think." It will also not include the word "one" three times in a sentence fragment.

Pirates are criminals
Summer hasn't been as boring as my previous post indicated. If it had been, there would be a lot more posts between now and the last week of school. But there aren't, so it wasn't. Yes.
I've taken care of a lot of UCSD stuff. They've validated my transcript, which is good. That means the grades/courses I put on my application were correct, so UCSD can't reject me or something. They sent the acknowledgement card that I sent with my housing contract, which is also good, as it is the acknowledgement that they have received what I needed to send regarding housing. I will know who my roommate is in the first week of September. I'm not one who hates very many people, so I don't expect to be paired with someone who really annoys me. But you never know. My roommate could be a complete jackass. On the Personal History Form, I basically requested someone who does NOT smoke, drink alcohol, actively observe his religious beliefs, and other things like that. Apparently the UC Berkeley equivalent of the UCSD Personal History Form didn't have anything about smoking or drinking or religion, and so on. What the hell kind of a form is that? You suck at making forms, UCB!
I didn't do much today other than go to Tung Kee with Nathan and Chui. Chui is among the other 23 or so Gunn people going to UCSD. He was put into Revelle, my first choice. I was kind of mad when I first got put into Sixth College instead of Revelle or Muir, but I certainly care a lot less about that now. I'm not sure why it seemed so much more important in March and April. I guess it's because I know a lot more about Sixth College now.
I have to remember to print out a form using another computer in this house because the old-ass Adobe Acrobat Reader on this computer cannot read the damn form! REMEMBER!
Hoff, also going to UCSD, wants to go camping in Yosemite sometime in August. I will go on the condition that I don't have to pay money for gear and gas and stuff, at least not a lot of it. Last week Frankie asked me if I was interested in going on a roadtrip to Yellowstone with several other people, and I replied with a maybe. I guess maybe means no, because Frankie et al already left without me knowing what exactly was going on. I would be more annoyed if I would have actually gone.
What should I do to prepare for UCSD?

Welcome to the New Blogger!
My blog has apparently been migrated to the new, completely redesigned Blogger. The new version is supposed to be more reliable and easier. Fun-tastic.
It seems that when I stop posting for a of couple of days, I continue to not post for a significant amount of time.
My Psych class started last week. It was scheduled to be from 6pm to 9:50pm, but we've finished at around 8 quite consistently. On the first day, the instructor gave the class the questions that will be on the midterm and the final. Each day we learn and take notes on the answer to one or two of the questions. No surprises, just learn the material == easy.
I was going to write a whole bunch of things in this post, but now I've gotten bored. I have been going to the park to play racquetball, but that has gotten pretty boring. I need more of a variety of things to do. I could finishing making my to do list, so I would actually have things that need doing, but I don't feel like doing that right now.
Okay, I'm bored.
