This title is lyrics from a song I am obsessive over called "Float (My Electric Stargirl)" by the Atomic Swindlers. No one has heard of them, it breaks my heart.
On Monday, I gave in and joined Twitter. I decided I wanted to follow Stephen Fry, because he is a hero. I signed in today, and he hasn't even posted anything! Sigh. I also follow the GooGooDolls... but they haven't "tweeted" either. Not much use to me this Twitter. I'm much happier on my blog :)
I've been told by 2 Art teachers now that I should be pursuing Art at a post-secondary level. Something about me having "talent" or whatnot. So now I'm looking into English with a minor in Visual Arts. I can only do that in America and Canada, not Oxford, but hey, I wrote the SAT's didn't I? Still don't know the results though....
On Saturday I went to a meeting with the University councillor. Hes really nice, he came all the way from Canada to help us out... Really though, most of what he did was tell me that I was never going to get into Oxford, be ready for disappointment. GRRR. And he also said Princeton wasn't such a good choice, go for Standford... Okay then. I only wanted Princeton because it was the only website I could navigate and it had a scholarship for New Zealanders. But he thankfully mentioned that the better the school the less important the SAT scores (the SATS being subjective and all that jazz) and that the important thing is recommendations from your high school - and they love me here. SORTED.
In school matters, very pleased with my Parent Teacher Meetings. I have an essay due for Classics that I have done minimal research for, so I'm going to get to work on that soon... :S
In Maths I am retaking 2 tests that I bombed on at the beginning of the semester, which is great, Mr K is such a hero.
Annnnd. Nothing else of notability (I don't think that's a real word..)
GOING TO EIRTAKON IN 2 WEEKS!!
Eirtakon being the big Irish Anime Convention. I am ridiculously excited. Missing two days of school, but a bunch of my friends from all over Ireland are coming up to meet me there, and I'm doing the skit competition. I'm dressing as Mello from DeathNote.
HMMM. Oh yea, the other guy I'm running the Philosophy/Debate club SHUT THE CLUB DOWN WITHOUT TELLING ME. He decided that since no one was coming, that it was being made into a 'Risk' club. We had discussed the possibility, but he made the announcement this morning, and I was left sitting there looking like a fish out of water. I am not happy at all.
OH YEA, and I have this friend from Texas right, met him at the World Scouts Jamboree 07, great friends, not great at responding to facebook messages, but hell. It was his birthday the other day, and I sent him a happy birthday message... AND HE DELETED IT, WITHOUT REPLYING?? Not happy. I'm rather confused at the moment.
So, other than that... Nothing else of notability. I have a maths test tomorrow, and after it, I promised my friend Rob that I would catch up on FullMetal Alchemist : Brotherhood this weekend. I have to watch 22 episodes in one weekend, because I simply don't have the time otherwise.
Also, just over 2 weeks until my schools trip to Florence. It should be ok. Time to catch up on reading and such.
Well that's a long enough entry
