Need to figure out how to import my CalMail to Apple Mail.

Need to go to sleep.

the tide is turning

this is redemption's hour...


Hello! :)

I'm presently studying ("studying") for my AP French exam, which is in approximately 24 hours. Scary, but I find myself a lot calmer than I would expect. To be truthful, I didn't plan on studying at all, but was sort of peer-pressured into it--though not a bad thing, I suppose. I should, however, start reviewing for AP Stat, which is my last test, since I know I'm not going to do well. I have no idea how to do anything and haven't practiced in two weeks. Bah.

Nevertheless I'm in this oddly light mood. It probably has to do with the fact that I'm almost done all my APs and especially because the intense stress that revolved around AP Studio Art has finally dwindled and this truly marks the end of the school year. The end of my K-12 educational career. The end of an era.

Not sure what's going to happen over the summer...must finish applying to jobs...but I'm so excited. Nothing ever turns out as planned, as I've well come to acknowledging while trying to make plans for the next few months ever since September rolled around, but God has and always will provide.

This is such a random amalgamation of thoughts, but really, I'm just super excited to be done with French tomorrow and then study my butt off in a last-minute cram for Stat and then just leave the rest to God and the AP curve, heh...either way everything will turn out straight dandy and I know my syntax and diction do not match up whatsoever at this point, but it's just this strange feeling, not formally being in school for so long. Things are really ending. I just can't believe it.

I'll hopefully be back with more coherence soon. And another interjection: I'm fond of the "new" Blogger editor. And not having a protective guard over my MBP's keyboard. Even though that's dangerous and temporary, since I have to wash/clean the protector...but anyway.

Back to work! Going to do another multiple choice section or two and then pack up for the evening. I was thinking of starting Stat, but I mean, an extra half hour isn't going to really change anything, right?

More later,
M :)

perdre et trouver

FINALLY! After months of searching and my brother's continuous "I don't remember ever seeing it, even when I first bought the Mac!!!" remarks, my mom pulled this sucker out of a random plastic bag today. I can finally sit more than three feet away from the outlet plug! Lovee :)

(/shameless Stanford plug, heh)

A photo of you taken recently

Right after dinner, @Times Square on my AP Art trip right before Thanksgiving break :) I'm on the very left...with my hair whippin' back and forth. Ha sike.

Speaking of, I never talked about any of my college visit trips...guess that will be coming up soon! I finally uploaded everything onto Facebook last night. For some reason it seems 10x faster and easier on my MBP. I love this thing.

day nine (before 12am!!!)

A photo you took

See: www.flickr.com/photos/mzheng :), although I haven't updated recently (I have no real photo editing program on my new Mac yet and have only imported a few batches).

I need to get on that.

Visiting UD tomorrow!

day seven

A photo that makes you happy

A friend of mine just recently tagged this picture of me...someone I don't know took it, but I remember that it was in Nova Scotia, on our last night. Some kids bought fireworks (illegal...) and sparklers and it was the first time I had ever played with anything of the sort, although I've wanted to for years.

Genuine bliss--and I'm grinning like an idiot--for the few short hours prior to our separation.

I brought my Mac to school to finish a college essay during my free period (which I did!!!)...but when I took it out again after school, I opened it only to discover that various crumbs were sitting atop my keyboard. I flipped out, especially since one was precariously on the verge of falling into the 'r' key gap...and then it did. I'm eternally woeful. This taught me to take back out the keyboard protector my brother bought for it, wash it (the original reason why I hadn't put it back on since I received my MBP), and start using it again.

:( Now I can't consider my baby new anymore.
