Moving Slowly In School

School is moving along quite slowly these days. Not a ton of new and exciting events have occured recently. I have a whole lot of homework due soon, with Hanukah vacation right around the corner (actually, we have a few shortened days, on one of which I will have a test). Only one significant (and not really so) event happened this week: I finished making my belt in leather-working club. It’s not like a belt you would buy in the mall, but it defenitely looks nice.

In computers, the teacher is just making us type up a long list of Excel glossary defenitions. It’s long, boring, and (you wouldn’t know) painful work (thanks to the stellar ergonomics in my school’s lab, which is really just a classroom where we use the laptops). I’d like to actually learn to write formulas and to use all the features of Excel, or even do real programming (not TI-83 simple stuff – I mean like Java or even VB.Net or something).

I’ve began to look into college stuff. My math teacher (who is really awesome in terms of social and academic capabilities) let me borrow a copy of US News that had rankings of the top schools. I read a  bunch of things on preparing in high school, financial aid, and other subjects in that topic.
Otherwise, not much going on. Life is almost like a script. How’s that for a metaphor?
