So I've forgotten I have a place to post at Bloggers. Now, I use livejournal more often.

Sea World vs. Universal Studios

2005-12-18T21:52:00.000-08:00

So yesterday I went to Sea World...and was really disappointed. Not only did nothing changed since 8 years ago (when I last went there), but the place looked a lot older. I thought that a place like Sea World would do a better job of maintaining the place, but nope. Plus, the workers there are all in a bad mood, beginning with the parking ticket booth guy. He glared, didn't say "have a nice day," just gave the ticket and said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Way to go, Sea World, for hiring silent dummies. Today I went to Universal Studios. Why? Because my parents felt like it. And they had to drag me along despite the fact that I am sick, coughing like a tuberculosis patient, and didn't get enough sleeping time since yesterday. WELL... at least at Universal, the performers there were awesome, and really friendly. No wonder there were long lines and crowds for each show/ride. I had fun in Van Helsing...the maze where tourists get themselves scared silly by people dressed in scary Van Helsing vampire costumes. There was a part where the walls were all mirrors, and I was being chased by a costumed zombie, and I made a fool of myself by running into the mirrors. Then there was a hallway with those hooded statues holding scythes, but some of them are real people, and they jump at you. Fun stuff...I recommend Universal Studios to anyone (anytime) over Sea World.... (plus there are less kids to trip over).

Hooray for Nothing

This week is winter break...and I have a ton of work to do. I feel so tired already. and my parents aren't helping...with their constant nagging and yelling. I wish I could live as far away as possible. Too bad they keep me on a tight leash. They won't let me go out, but say that I am too dependent. They are the epitome of "hypocrites." I wish they would just leave me alone. Well, enough ranting about parents. Bottom line is they are annoying and hard to please. Note to self: The better I do, the more they expect.

Today was quite uneventful. I studied Chemistry all morning in order to catch up on my summer homework. I managed to finish 60 review questions... though there are still 40 more I need to do. Oh, shucks.

During my breaks, I used the advice Allison told me...to memorize my vocabularies in smaller chunks. It worked! I managed to memorize more vocabulary in less time than when I had tried to cram all those words into my head in an hour.

So, during my afternoon, I went outside to help my mother clean out our garage, and I idiotically fell off a 6 feet high overhang inside the garage... so now I have a couple nice long bloody scars along the inside of my leg...plus three large palm-sized blue and purple bruises. However, after I cleaned myself up, I cleaned the livingroom and shined the wood floor...my bruise did not hurt that bad anyways. Tomorrow I will go play tennis...hopefully that would heal my scars faster.

Boston Test Prep requested me to start an SAT blog... so here goes.
I memorized a bit of SAT words... well actually I'm getting to it. Supposedly I should memorize two pages. I set that schedule for myself. But, I was outside mowing the lawn and removing a tree for 2 hours, so that's why I didn't start yet. Also, I probably need to go to Borders to check for practice workbooks. My parents trust me to do as well as I did last year on my PSAT... all without outside tutoring. But... with the extracurriculars I am attempting, Debate, Academic Decathlon, Orchestra... I am really trying to motivate myself... but I seem to be feeling quite lackadaisical and languid lately. Well, that's all for now.
