Isn't it funny how little you know about people. And it's depressing to think how long it takes you to realize that you're never going to uncover the truth about everything. Maybe I don't want to know the truth, I'll stop listening when you tell me to.

I want to go to europe.

Costa Rica was amazing

I built kitchens, which required me to take a glob of cement and fill cracks. And then maintained a trail at a National Park. Of course followed by teaching English to kids. The volunteering aspect wasn't too bad, especially since you had so much to look forward to.

Such as zip-lining! Which was really scary, but provided nice views of the volcano and lake. I had to do two of them in the pouring rain, which ii guess added to the ambiance.

White water rafting was also memorable. Three people fell out of the raft, but luckily I managed to stay in the boat and not get strangled by the treacharous rapids.

We went to natural hot spring on friday and and they served us pina coladas while we were in the springs, so obv the trip was hardcore as well.

I was one out of 4 boys out of a total group of 32 people. hahah it was so weird,

..................so many things I can't tell livejournal land!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

=)

Things have been going very well lately. School is over! Well I still have to return a book to the High School Library in the AM because the librarian threatened to uphold my report card if I don't return it. Who's going to read Globalization and Development  (besides me) in our High School. We're lucky if by the end of the day, every student is still breathing (or at least on life support).

Haha I can't wait till Costa Rica. I got my T Shirt today. This thing is going to be so hardcore. Our camp base has a swimming pool and a plethora of hammocks. I found out that my available leisure tours, include a hike to an extinct volcano and zip lining. Even though I'm afraid of any type of thrilling activity, I might actually force myself to zip line. I've always wanted to do it, plus I won't have family members there making fun of me when I scream like a girl.

I'm also volunteering at Caumsett over the summer. I think on the weekends I can give tours of the main house to old ladies that are visiting the park from like Levittown. I can't wait.   Work is going to suck balls (not in a pleasurable way) I might quit after summer vacation, because their hours are so flexible over the summer, it would be dumb to work somewhere with set hours and have my life restricted the way it is for the remaining ten months.

I'm pretty sure I got a 100 on the US Regetns unless I fucked up on the essays. They post the regents and answers (probably illegally) on jmap.org.............SAT Scores came too. I'm so happy about my Math  and writing scores. My  CR score went down, but luckily I did well in March so overall best scores are pretty good, considering I'm a bad standardized test taker.

Also, friend me on facebook. I just made an account and became just another stereotypical Long Islander. Although I do enjoy looking at slutty pictures of people in our school doing this that are illegal and then posting them online. You know the girls I'm talking about. lolllol  peace

On Tuesday I went to the Cloisters with Danielle. If you dont know already, the Cloisters is an extension of the MET dedicated to medieval art/architecture. It is located in Fort Tryon park located at/around 190th street inManhattan. The subway ride through Harlem
washington heights was not as bas as i  expected, nor did I feel threatened.

After looking at tapestry and archways for an hour or two we traveled down  
Obviously we were the only white people on the block. A trek down this streer led us to the subway station that was so far uptown that it was above ground
WE took the train down to 116th and walked around Columbia for a while which was absolutely gorgeous. A lunch at Tom's (the sienfeld place ) was also fab.
Central park and jamba juice obviously ended the day

My eyes have been itching and my lower back has been aching. It's basically how life has been lately; irritating yet non-fatal. I'm trying to catch up with derivatives (which failed miserably) and Titration in school because of the two days I missed recently. It seems as if this quarter is going to be disasterous but I'm too lazy to care about my abysmal math and chemistry grades. Maybe I'll care later in the year

On Tuesday I slept for 17 hours. Naturally I didn't go to school on Wednesday since I woke up in the middle of fourth period. The relaxation was very therapeutic; mostly because I wasn't even thinking about all that crap that I should've been doing. Speaking of crap, the SATs on Saturday weren't so bad. The math was simple ( actually just logical) and the essay was generic ( Is it beneficial to have people in society who are unique). The verbal (my downfall) was sort of average. The passages about little asian girls and the alarming modern- day praise of past presidents registered well in my brain. Unfortunately I didn't know the meanings of  harbinger, lambasted, or idiosyncratic. I hate vocab fill ins.

I'm psyched for Liz's guido bash. I might just have to go to Staten Island and see if I can learn I few new lingos before the big soiree. By the way, how do guidos wear their jeans?

This weekend sucks. But I guess it kind of has to. Stupid Standardized Tests.

Anyway, ANS's rotting corpse was finally lay to rest in the Bahamas. poor thing....... then again 80% of her body was made out of silicone so not much actually rotted.

The hunger banquet was obviously fabulous. Greg informed me that the Rabbi was on the GodSquad. I was served mashed potatoes and water. Then we went out and bought turkey wraps and amaretto mouse.

Speaking of hunger, The Agency is a show that should be seen by all. It involves an angry British woman and a lot of weird looking models. And a 13 year old girl that you would swear was 24.

On Tuesday I met a menopausal Passport officer, an overzealous Banker, a stressed Architect and a charming psychopath. On Thursday I encountered a lost Indian tourist, a hip alcove of the city and a ridiculously overpriced cup of coffee. Wednesday was worthless and on Friday penkhe extinguished a minor fire at work. This week has been worthless and not very therapeutic.

SAT's are coming up in 2 weeks and I'm so nervous. Although most colleges are looking at the test as a  worthless brainteaser that shows colleges how much money you spent on tutors, I'm still paranoid about my verbal score. I can probably nail a mid 600 but I haven't been. When I do practice questions at home I answer correctly, but on Saturday mornings at 9  I can't concentrate. Maybe Espresso can do the trick. Fuck Math.  I  can do it.

Enough of  school !!!  I'm really enjoying Devil in the White City. It's hard to believe how accurate someone can be about a seemingly obselete event in  history. I constantly have to remind myself that it is Non-Fiction. My favorite character is Holmes. I don't admire his suicidal tendencies or his greedy fraud schemes, but his ability to hide his true self. He is charming, personable and equally insane. 

I'm listening to Bright Eyes again thanks to Kat!!! ( i love illegal downloading)

I'm psyched about break. It's been the first time I've been able to relax in weeks. I cleaned my room and burnt plumeria incense.

Friday was fun even though I didn't get shitfaced. Anna would've been  so proud of you guys!!!!

I'm doing this this summer. Its going to be my first time out  of the country!


I wrote a lot more but I deleted it on accident. Sorry

I didn't go to school today. Not because I had a cough or sore throat, but due to sheer exhaustion, dizzy spells and anxiety. I woke up at 11:30 and bought a Mozzarella con Carne at Renaissance. Town is quite different during the day. It is free of North Face wearing 12 year old girls drinking Java Chip Frapacinnos during the middle of the winter. Instead there are old couples in cardigans walking aimlessly. I saw a Buddhist monk (perhaps from the meditation place) cross the street with his bright orange toga.

Work was boring as usual. I had to stay until 8 even though I was still didn't feel well. I have to act nice for the next two weeks because I want to get a large bonus for Valentines Day. Bon Bons has gotten quite kinky for the holiday. We have chocolate handcuffs, edible body chocolate, and candy bras / g-strings. Its Penkhe's job to make sure we have enough edible undergarmets out for display. She is dedicated to her position.

Tomorrow is going to be eventful. I have SAT crap until 1. Then work from 2-6 followed by Playfest at 8. I have to write an article for the dreadful event. I hope the Dispatch knows that the article will be full of insults and sarcasm because there is no way you can write about such a unfortunate event seriously.
