Amazing video though

To whom it may concern,

It has come to my attention that changes should be made for the betterment of this school.

Thank you for your attention.

This post was supposed to be published over a week ago but Blogger botched up and didn't save my post. Luckily I had a copy of it on Word so here you go!

Long overdue post on my hike from spring break:

It turned out to be quite lovely, even though I was totally exhausted at the end of 4 miles.

...hey, it was a steep trail!

some historic sites on the hike. bottom left used to be a schoolhouse for the kids of miners.

first time seeing wild poppies; wildflowers are exquisite

these spikey weeds/cacti(?) caught my interest- what in the world are they?

found some on my lawn too.

trees+fungi

(fun-ji lolol remember, tanya?)

IN OTHER NEWS...

• Apparently you haven't been to a school rally if you are attending AHS. The rallies here are actually PEP rallies, in which students scream their heads off and chuck stuff around and yell a lot and are bedecked in school colours (as opposed to the highly efficient and organized AHS rallies consisting of just one performing arts group after another with ADD transitions and a mild crowd wearing whatever).
• I just lost the game.
• A Farewell to Arms is undescribably awesome. Hemingway would be like, my idol if I was into nihilism and lost generation and code hero stuff.
• All minecraft art is cubism.
• Nujabes is fantastic. dubstep only sounds good at raves. the Strokes are alive. Eet is delicious. Etienne de Crecy is mind boggling. Wolfmother is the next best thing.
• Apparently, all choir music is about alcohol, God, or sex.
• Post about Philly trip coming soon (aka never)
• I USED TO LIVE INSIDE MY MOMMY

Also, on an unrelated note, Cordero's given us an extra credit opportunity where we compare/contrast characters from Glee with characters from Wuthering Heights. Now, since I don't know anything about Glee except that some guy named Quinn is similar to Cathy...

First couple of lines from the poem "Remind me not, remind me not" by George Gordon, [Lord] Byron:

"Remind me not, remind me not, 
Of those beloved, those vanish'd hours, "

I frickin' swear, this is my motto for all late night english marathons from now on.

So, in about a week, I should be quoting this repeatedly in my head while doing my theme trace
