Lets see last I'm I posted,it was a day before Barack Obama became president.
Since then I've
-Gotten past my finals
-Narrowly passed all my classes
-Done the Exit Exam
-Done a lot of make up work
-Gotten assigned 2 projects
-Taken a tour of 2 colleges
-Decided on the colleges that I want most and my major
-Gone hog wild with Battalion Wars
-Tried to catch up on my blogging
Well the results weren't pretty with the finals,I think I ended up with D's on a few of them.My notes weren't helpful but on a few of them I got A's I think I got a complete 100 on one them.Thankfully I managed to pass all my classes so unless something goes terribly wrong a the end of the year I won't be taking any classes again like I feared. About a week after that,all the sophomores at Berkeley High had to take the Exit Exam
Why it's called such I do not know. For one if you fail it you have like 55 times to try it over,for two if you do pass your stuck at High School for 2 years.Finally if you fail it you're either brain dead,not trying,or something is seriously wrong,Sahara if you are reading this I'll say you could pass it.The exam is 8th grade in Math and 6th in English.
On Monday I got assigned a memoir like project where I have to interview a relative about their experiences and stuff,then the next day I got assigned to research a nation colonized by a European power and how it all went and put it on a poster.
Yesterday,my class left school in order to tour 2 campuses [Cal State East Bay and St. Mary's College].I for one preferred St. Mary's College.Cal State looked like BYU in almost every way,except it didn't have the homely feel,it was atop a hill so the insignia was nowhere to found[by insignia I mean BYU's Y,CAL's C,University of Utah's U,Stanford's S,etc.] and the builidings where too close andit seemed a bit more for graduates over undergraduates. The tour guide didn't give too much info on the life or atmosphere either. Finally we all had lunch at the dining area[the best part of this tour by far,but nowhere near the quality of BYU cafeteria food]. I know I'm not thinking of applying here. After a really good meal the gang pakced up and headed off to St. Mary's College which is about 10 miles from Gandma's house and 8 from mine so though it's close it's not dangerously close. The tour guide this time went deep into the heart and spirit of the college.Apparently they have a system where ou have 2 semesters one whole month off and a January part. The architecture was unique,the chapel looked like a run-of-the-mill Roman church and overall this campus and the how it all was set-up was inviting
Currently my line-up looks something like
5.St. Mary's College
4.U.C. Davis
3.University of Illinois at Chicago
2.Oberlin College
1.BYU
I'm currently thinking of making Economics my major
I'm thinking about all this because one the tour,and 2,.................... HOLY CRAP ONLY 2 YEARS LEFT!!!!!
After all this I've basically gone hog wild with Battalion Wars on the GameCube and I've finally made a post you somehow read all the way through
-Uber Psycho Tom
Welcome to the dark,odd,bizarre,monkey world of Tom.Where every post comes from the view of the great and psychotic UberPsychoTom
The Hidden Profile of the madmonkeyrider
- Uberpsycho Tom
- I am so weird,so psychotic you'd think I was a hermit.Maybe I am,maybe I'm not but I'll tell you what I am certainly not a retard.I am a picky man with everything,books,food, and even video games. I like to freak my enemies out by making them think I'm out to kill them. TV and me don't mix if it wasn't for Simpsons,Family Guy, NCIS and the fact that my video game system needs it I'd throw that thing out. By the time you finish reading this I'll probably be cruising on my Trek bike. Might I add I'm a dinosaur. I barely know how to post this blog profile let alone program a computer. Books rock if they are good few fit my standards(Lemony Snicket,Seekers and Warriorcats fit a few). I also made up my own language.Currently working on a fun novel,Icelandic language and culture and getting muscles.I like all temperatures so long as it's below 120 F and above-20 F.My kinda afternoon is a hot afternoon sleeping in a hammock taking a siesta with lemonade.My evening is cold with a book,hot choclate in a rocking chair near a fire.I'll admit to being lifeless....for now.Say that to my face and you'll be literally lifeless heh heh heh
Video Game Currently Played
- Tomb Raider
