You probably noticed I went for a while without posting again - I needed time to study for my finals and finish and turn in my last few homework assignments. But I finished my last final yesterday, I think I did well on all of my finals, and I'm back home today! Yay!! :)

Now to get back to re-catching up on my friends page (and hopefully on other stuff as well)...

Yep - I created my LJ account on August 19, 2007. Sad how the anniversary of LJ should happen to be the day after I accidentally deleted a lot of LJ-related stuff, though... in fact, I was so busy after that happened, I didn't get to finish this post until the day after the anniversary of my LJ. :(

I also wanted to include LJ comment stats (which I said I'd do every three months starting on the fourth anniversary, but ended up deciding to just do once every year), but since this post is already late, I'll post them later.

I'm finally done with my second semester of college! Although so far, the only courses I know for sure I passed are Computer Science (with a B) and Chemistry Lab (with I'm not sure what). I did feel more confident about Computer Architecture and Chemistry class than I did with Computer Science, though. No idea about Statistics, though :(

I used to be good at math! In first grade, while the rest of the class was taught addition and subtraction, I was taught that and multiplication, and as those of you know, I took Calculus I as a high school junior and did well in it. Whatever happened to that?

Ah well, at least I get to relax for...about 12 days, because I have to take two summer classes and one of them's English II. :( So I'm probably still not going to catch up on my friends page yet if I want to have even the slightest chance of getting done with my program to prioritize everything before I need it for my summer classes.

Happy belated birthday to krickadoodle, squidmuse, barrakuda_a, hartlyn, karla_somebody, gettingoutthere, kandigurl (I think I already wished you happy birthday on Facebook on time, but still), and darkdragoonfan! (I know, I'm too pathetic to wish any of my LJ friends a happy birthday on time...)

Some funny videos I found:

Well, I finished my last final today! Yay!!! :D

I'd enjoy it more if I didn't still occasionally get depressed about what I've taken to calling the Forbidden Comment Threads even though I haven't even read them in the past two weeks, though :(

But yay for the semester being over!

NO MORE MONDAYS LEFT OF SCHOOL!!

I still have the meeting about the senior trip tomorrow, the actual senior trip from May 15 to 19, and the actual graduation ceremony for 28th, but for all intents and purposes...

I JUST GRADUATED!!! What should my epitaph say?

It's Spring Break!!! About time...

Also, here are the first two quizzes in a while:

You Are a Mirror

You are a very private person. You need your alone time to introspect and recharge. You don't mind being around others, but you prefer to spend the bulk of your time by yourself. You are a slow and critical thinker. You need to mull things over for a long time. You hold yourself accountable for your actions. You are constantly evaluating your life and trying to improve.

You Are a Colon

You are very orderly and fact driven. You aren't concerned much with theories or dreams... only what's true or untrue. You are brilliant and incredibly learned. Anything you know is well researched. You like to make lists and sort through things step by step. You aren't subject to whim or emotions. Your friends see you as a constant source of knowledge and advice. (But they are a little sick of you being right all of the time!) You excel in: Leadership positions You get along best with: The Semi-Colon

EDIT WAY LATER: It turns out that there are two guys in my college dorm named Mark, so in order to keep things from getting weird if either of them gets a LiveJournal (if they don't have one already) and friend me, I have renamed my possible other personality Mark1993 rather than just Mark.

I did pretty well on my Spanish final. I didn't get to finish translating the whole thing I had written, but I got most of it translated, and it's past the 100-word minimum anyway. My teacher says that I can finish it after Christmas break (and she's allowing 3 of my classmates to do the same). Yay for Christmas break!!

Also, you know how I am easily distracted while listening or reading because any given word or phrase might remind me of something else that I start thinking about instead until it reminds me of something else, and so on - and it also happens just because I'm bored? Well, for a while now I've thought of the kind of mistakes I make while doing that as my subconscious taking over and trying (and almost always failing) to do everything based entirely on instinct like a robot. I've recently started reading The Bird's Nest by Shirley Jackson, which is about a girl with multiple personalities, and I got to thinking: What if I have multiple (or double, at least) personalities, and the robotic/instinct/habit decisions aren't made by my subconscious, but by my other personality?

School's out for Thanksgiving!

Also, I'm going to the midnight showing of the new Harry Potter movie tonight. Yay!

I'm FINALLY a senior! Seems like just yesterday I was in a new homework apocalypse every day!

Also, the first quiz in a while:

I'm finally done with all of the homework that's due after (or during, in the case of HAS stuff) Spring Break! Yay! Now I get to finally enjoy it!

Random quiz:

You Sometimes Know When Someone's Lying

You can spot a liar if the liar slips up, but you're not always aware of other people's dishonesty. Eventually a liar will reveal himself, and you usually will figure out if you've been lied to. However, someone could be duping you without you knowing it. So watch out for the telltale signs of lying!

I'm mad at the maker of this quiz for including a question about what amount of eye contact signifies a liar. The first autistic person he/she meets will punch him/her in the face.
