JOURNAL: Anime Jedi

  • I didn't run into a road block, I ran face first into a wall... 2003-09-14 22:17:46 I spent 4 hours on a Physics sheet of homework. It had 4 questions, and I finished 2 of them in no time. But the first and last ones I just couldn't get. I tried so many different ways, but nothing. I called up my friend and he explained it to me, so that helped a little, but I still didn't get the rigth answers. He was nice enough to try and give me the answerrs, but I told him only to explain the process, so I could figure it out on my own. If he had given me the answers, it would have been right, but it would have felt too much like cheating. Anyways, it's wrong, but at least I wrote a few pages of equations, to show I at least tried.

    I worked a tiny bit on my painting, though it's due on Tuesday, so I'm screwed. I'll have to work hard tomorrow night, but I have Tennis practice after school. This doesn't look good.

    In the AMW world though, things were pretty productive. I finally finished up another banner, and I was able to review 2 more AMVs.

    I haven't heard from my parents who are in Mexico lately, so I guess I should e-mail them. Goodnight everyone.

  • A simple idea, though seldomly used... 2003-09-13 16:12:51 Doing things right the first time, is much faster than doing a bad job the first time and having to redo it. What a concept!! I should use it more often. -_-

    The computer that we use to burn CDs wasn't able to turn on last week. My parents thought the powrr supply was dead, so I switched it with one of our other computers, but I found out that wasn't the problem. So now I had to start from square one. I took the whole machine apart, and tried out everything. I couldn't figure it out. Last night my uncle suggested maybe the button was broken. Which was a good suggestion because it had recently been run over with the vacuum a week ago (the button became unattached to the computer awhile ago, and is now just a button at the end of a long wire). I checked it out, and yup, certain parts of the wire were disconnected. A few good hours of confusion, hard work, hands getting sliced up by sharp computer parts all a waste, because it was really only a 30 second job. -_-

    Anyways, I put it all together, and it works just like it used to. All in all I guess I'm happy. I'm pissed at myself that I didn't think of it earlier, but there's nothing I can do about it now. lol

    My parents left for a week trip to Mexico this morning. That means it's just my brother and myself for a whole week!!! My parents wanted my grandmother to be at least in the house while we sleep, so she'll come over everynight to sleep, but that's it. This should be a pretty interesting week. ^_^

    I spent so much time on the computer (fixing it) I haven't touched my art project yet. I think I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.

    Chenny, I'm sorry I haven't written lately. I just haven't gotten enough time lately all at one time to finish the e-mail. But all try my best to finish it off tonight!

  • :: Yawn :: Time for sleep... 2003-09-12 23:14:59 I should be in bed, since I was up so early today. I'm not used to these 5:00am morning. lol But I need to write some important e-mails, so I can't rest just yet. ~_^

    Today was my uncle's 40th birthday, Nothing too special happened, but I just wanted to wish him a happy birthday here in my Journal. ^_^

    School update:
    -Physics: I have no clue what's going. I fear the worst when it comes to my grades.
    -Data Management: Going well. Fairly simple class.
    -French: Fine. Same as usual, nothing special.
    -Art: I'm having trouble coming up with new ideas, which is holding me back a fair bit.
    -Lunch: I'm starting to like this first period lunch deal. I can walk and take my time going to school. No need to rush first thing in the morning, and I can sit in the library and read the newspaper! o_0 ^_^

  • A feeling of emptiness... 2003-09-11 20:58:05 Yesterday, I started the day pretty bad, but it ended up really great. Looks like today is quite the opposite.

    I put off doing some of my homework in order to finish off Soul Calibur 2's Weapon Master mode. I finally beat it today, but I feel bad about putting off my studies and other important things. I kept telling myself that I'd work extra hard this year, and I haven't done too well in that area. Not only that, most of my marks have been very poor. I don't know why, but I'm not getting the hang of things this year. -_-

    I have a 7:00am practice for the Tennis team tomorrow morning, so that means I'll have to leave at 6:30am to get there on time. Which means I'll have to wake up around 5:30am. Now even I have to admit that that's getting pretty early.

    Will power... that's what I seem to be missing lately. My stupid urges have been too strong, so and I cave. Whether it's lazying around, or ignoring my responsibilities. It makes me feel so damn weak. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

  • I feel good inside... 2003-09-10 21:17:19 I have no idea why, but why mess with a good thing by trying to figure out why? lol All I know is that I'm happy right, in a self-fullfilled, content type of way. ^_^

    I started the day by being really pissed off at myself this morning. Why? I had woken up at 4:30am. I knew that was too early, so I fell back asleep. I woke up then at my alarm going off, which was 6:00am. I made the extra effort that I now have to do to turn it off, then figured I'd lay in bed for a few minutes. Next thing I know, it's 7:00am. I was completely up and everything, but I just HAD to fall back asleep. I was disgusted at my total lack of self control and self discipline. I'm now hoping for the best tomorrow morning.

    I'm feeling a little guilty about the lack of homework I've been doing these past few nights. I've had a bit, and could be doing more, but I just haven't had the drive for it. I'm afraid that if I wait for the day I doi have the drive, it will be too late. -_- It all relates back to self discipline. You know, will power. And here I thought I was in total control of myself. -_-

    At the Tennis meeting this afternoon, I was one of the only senior's there. Which means I'll probably be on the team no matter what. That's kind of depressing because I haven't played too much in my lifetime, so I was hoping a better player would beat me for the top spot (on the senior team). I guess I'll just have to practice extra hard now.

    It's official, Dragon Ball GT starts on October 10th!!! ^_^

    I don't like writing a lot in this Journal because I find it discourages people from reading it, so that's all for today. May you all have a good and restful night.
