The Daily Grind - 4/8/06
Chem Olympiad today in Boston. There's nothing like being in a car with smart friends. Unfortunately, even if AB sweeps top 5 - which is not unlikely - I'll probably still get excluded, since I need to score top 2 within AB. Even so, it was still much wholesome fun, especially when I awkwarded out those kids
Project P2P will need some work. But I am confident in my ability; I have faith in my friends, in myself, and in the Heart of the Cards.
Today, my dad asked me if I wanted to move (as in move houses). I thought that it was a joke at first, considering that he had always opposed - or been opposed to - the pesky real-estate investigations that my mother insists on carrying out all the time. But he asked it seriously, with expectation of no objection, it seemed.
My initial response was Hell no. Fuck my mom's acupuncture clinic. These are my last two years living in Acton. But then he asked me why I objected, and he demanded that I put up good reasons. Isn't the connotation of home important? Isn't the ability to walk to school from home important? Isn't it going to be my senior year? I don't want to waste a month packing, unpacking, and getting used to a new home only to leave it months afterward. But according to my dear father, this was not a legitimate reason. To my surprise, I found within me a physical upwelling in response to the evoked emotion. I've never considered moving seriously, since it's only been a fantasy of my mother, but the sudden realism of the notion had an unexpected impact on me. Granted, the topic soon fell from favor, and I brooded in the isolation of my mind, listening to the rather soulless music of the radio.
Finished watching the rest of Full Metal Panic! today. Won't write about it here, might write about it once I watch Fumoffu? and The Second Raid. It was a rather mixed bag overall, but I liked it - At least I hope I did, because I watched 21 episodes of it in two days. Starting to download Fumoffu? already.
Got a chap to start watching 24 today. He watched nine episodes and counting. Talk about a role model.
Two days down out of four kickass days...
