did you know?

did you know that you could live without your large intestine?

cats dont all land on their feet. contrary to popular belief.

not all dogs are friendly, regardless of whether thye wag their tail or not.

ULGH finally after milpitas. i feel like things are finally getting better.

i'm really excited for stanford now. im anticipating on getting my ass kicked severely and get more stares on how the asian got in.

i'll add more stuff later.

congrats to my fav: kunal! i hope you like your university of asian food staple.

wednesday: los gatos dual!

thursday: practice w/ 400 :( then open mic night practice

friday: stanford, open mic night

saturday: stanford, casl until mon.

i'm glad i miss monday.

los gatos is my favorite and least favorite meet. i'm so comfortable with that track, just because of k-bell, duals, leagues, frosh soph classics, ccs qualifiers.

wow i go to los gatos a lot. they stare at me like they've never seen an azn chick jump posts. surprise, surprise.

i willl miss racing them next year. i heard they have a good 100HH hurdler. i hope she's not at stanford, but probably will be.

stanford! otherwise known as the great pacific western invitational, biggest in northern california. i dont think i qualify- payne apparently says otherwise. i'm running the 400IH, which i've never done before; i'm a bit nervous about it. i heard its nothing like the 300IH. 

10 hurdles, 1 lap. i think i will hate starting blocks for a moment there.

>:O

midsummernightsdream was really really good!!!!!! i loved it. :D:D

good job, drama!

so. my shift key does not work.

i hate this keyboard.

i wish i liked my laptop more.

anyone hate this weather currently?

taboo

i've read several blogs about this.

and i think you know what i am talking about.

i wish i could have a voice on this, but i don't have one.

not until after this is done. i wish i could stop crying and shaking about what they've done to us- not that its bad. or good. 

but the way they've carried it on to us.

what are you trying to say?

meet.

100HH: 3rd, 18

300IH: 2nd, 51.73

200m: 2nd, 28.98

how ironic is that- my best event has now become my worst event by a freaking second, and my worst event is now my best by almost 3.

and what do u know? apparently i can beat people in the 200. who knew.

mara saw a dead dog on the way to milpitas. and got lost. thanks to me.

i did not see that dead dog.

but it reminded me of the book curious case of dog in the nighttime or something like that. 

its a really good book. however, tedi has it currently.

this semester is the BIGGEST RUT of my high school career.

to be honest, i hate having a sport.

i hate coming home and realizing i have hw to do, only this time i come home 4 hours later.

how does anyone do this?

i end up taking naps. and cant wake up. and almost- halfass hw.

if anyone knows me,  i have an inability to halfass anything because i'm too fucking neurotic.

i am attempting to stay awake with andy varshneya on the cam and eating trailmix. anyone wanna join?

oh yeh!

oh yeh! i have a blog! kunal reminded me about the existance of blogs yesterday. thanks, kunal!

sats are this week. anyone scared? i know i am. I think collegeboard is one of the largest monopolies here in america, and no one wants to do anything about it. thanks to bush, standardized testing has only increased in frequency. i dont know if anything will change. i hope it would, but thats too idealistic now, huh.

there are a lot of aspects i dont like about our education system. its no longer about the wonders and joys of learning, to see just how much we can broaden our minds in new subjects. its not about finding your passion- it's about convincing yourself that you have a passion. where will u go to college? how will you find a job? what ever happened to that cliched carpe diem?

school is structured to who is the teacher you want that will hand you a letter to determine your intelligence in that corresponding subject and how to write useless words on a paper pretending that you did your homework.

what about analytical learning? what happened to that?

i want to watch movies and take notes and tell my teacher about how i love something or hate something in the particular subject. i want to argue my points and listen to other people's points and realize JUST HOW MUCH we could exhaust a subject, and then be content that i was able to think so deeply. i dont believe those numbers of sats, acts, gpa, letter grades, i don't think it realy determines how smart i am. or anyone is. i'm not sure if it does any good- all it's done is discriminate against "not as smart people". but what is smart? what kind of intelligence is measured to determine someone's value or character?

i dont think it's right. 

it sounds like socrates. it wouldn't sound like a bad idea to work in public education.

but at the same time, my fear and insecurity of how our education system works makes me scare of my future. i talk about it a lot too. 

it feels so convoluted. 

the news to hear really sucks.

i honestly didnt expect it- especially from him. 

it sucks a lot right now.

daniel yu.

thanks to daniel yu. i'm not doing my hw. or studying extra.

i'm reading perry bible fellowship.

my current favs that aki has all seen!
