Yeeesssss. I just finished my AP English essay... on the same day that I started it, the day before its due?! El oh el. All while having time time go shopping with the parentals, go to the beach, practice violin and get a lesson, in the same day?! Now I should probably get started on my physics project that's due tomorrow, too -_-. That made no grammatical sense. Too much writing for the day.

CYO yesterday was cool? Well, cool for having to spend nearly 12 hours with CYO, anyway. We played a charity concert in a private community in Orange County called "Leisure World." What a name, eh? At first I thought it was some amusement park or something. The place might as well be a small seperate city from Orange County. Chilled with the regulars and met some new people.

Physics ho!

I passed my license test today, yeeeeessss!! Haha. Cool beans.

And Half-Blood Prince is an awesomely succulent book.

Anyways, in the spirit of Harry Potter, here's a painting that I really dig titled "Potions Master." As you can probably guess, it was made before the new book came out and Snape changed his position at Hogwarts.

Something strange in the Nevada desert. What the cow is it? The world's butthole, possibly?

Anyways, I passed both my APEC and AP Art History tests! Whoo whoo!!

Queen - Under Pressure

For a moment there, you thought it was that Vanilla Ice song, didn't you? :P Queen came up with the original melody.

Yeesh, my summer's been so busy. With summer school, waterpolo, orchestra mentoring stuff, hospital volunteering stuff, I don't have too much time for anything else. Notice that I haven't even mentioned summer assignements for AP classes, either.

My 4th of July was pretty cool. I woke up early for the all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast that my neighborhood holds every year, then I went to the Mira Mesa park to check out all the activities and carnival rides and stuff that they had. Around noon, I watched the Mira Mesa parade, then I drove over to RB, and watched the parade there, too. At night we were gonna stay at the Mira Mesa Park to watch the fireworks that are shot off from MMHS, but we decided to watch it at home on our roof instead. Great way to top of a great day, I guess.

I also saw the fireworks show at WV on Saturday night. I saw a lot of people that I haven't seen in a long time there. Some of them include David Nyguen (we used to be like bestest friends back in middle school.. haven't seen him in 3 years), Jeff Summers, Chris, Minnich, Matt Stevens, Howard Barker (I haven't seen that kid since 6th grade after he moved to Greece or whatever. He's in town for vacation), and a bunch of other people. I also met a lot of new people, which was cool.

adsfkljdsa, you won't believe what happened at my last driver's license test. I had been sitting in my car in the blazing sun for more than an hour in line. For some reason, there was only one tester, so the line would only move like once every 20 minutes. Every time the line moved, I would turn the engine on, move up one spot, and then turn it off and wait another 20 minutes or so. So after I had been doing this for like an hour and a half, I was freakin NEXT to go. The tester was freakin walking towards me and flipping to my papers on her clipboard. I try starting the engine, and all I hear are a series of "clicks." Apprently, the battery had died. The tester was like, "Aww, poor kid. Looks like you'll have to go in and make another appointment." So we pushed my car into the parking lot, and some friendly guy had jumper cables on hand so in less than 5 minutes my car was back up and running. I go beg the tester if I can get back in line, I don't even mind waiting another hour. But she's like, "Sorry, we're booked solid today and we're already behind schedule. You're just gonna have to go in and make another appointment." Dude, its not like they were on schedule when I was in line, so if I came out and got back into the line, I don't see how that would've slowed them down anymore than they had already been slowed down originally. So I go in and make another appointment, and the earliest available date isn't for another month -_-. Just my luck.

Anyways, we should go to the beach some time. There hasn't been a bad weather-ed day since the beginning of summer vacation. And having summer school every day, its like a slap in the face.

And lastly, I usualy make an effort to share some mindblowig artwork when I come across it. Here's one that I procrastined on for a few weeks. "Wish."
