Boom!

I like this word "boom". It can be used in several different situations: situations like describing an actual explosion, making something seem more exciting (for example: And then BOOM! There was a monster.) and my favorite using for no BOOM reason what-so-ever BOOM! 

Chilled

On Friday there was a swim meet against James Lick (we won). There were a few things I really really hated about it though. First was the overly sunny weather, the sun not only gives you sun-burns, but it drains your energy to swim. Second was that it was windy, when it's windy and you get out of the water, you are over come with extreme cold, when it's actually pretty warm out. Lastly, I lost time on my fastest stroke, that made me really sad. :(

Instant Gratification

You know what the problem about life at this age is? That you (or at least I) need everything to happen instantly. It really sucks to lack the virtue of patience. I of all people would know, here I am doing something important (writing essays) and I'm bored out of my mind; so much that I want to just stop and do something else. With all the possible things I could be doing right now, I have to write essays. While things like video games, TV or walking down to a friends house or something is much more fun some things, like these essays, need to be done. It sucks that this "instant gratification" has me wrapped around it like a robe because a lot of things (my grades for one) would be so much better right now if it didn't have this power over me. I swear, it's like the devil guy on your left shoulder. Take it from me when I say,"Listen to the angel guy on your right shoulder, it's too late for me." 

Essays

Writing that last blog gave me ideas about this one and the one to come, so listen up!!! Essays when you're writing for school are supposed to be very methodical: Topic sentence, point, explanation, point, explanation, point, explanation, conclusion; that's all it is. Writing essays for say a collage application is much much different. A collage application essay is more like talking about your life to them: who you are, what you do, why you do it. It's not just sentences you write to make a point, it's like you're writing a blog like this, you're trying to actually appeal to a reader as apposed to appealing a type of reader. 

Boredom

Well, here I am, home on a saturday afternoon writing essays to get into a program that I'm more than likely not getting into. The only thing that comes to my mind right now is,"Wow, I'm really REALLY bored right now." I can barely focus my thoughts enough to write a single sentence for my essay. Something really needs to be done about my short attention span. 

Talking

When you're talking about someone there are mainly two ways to talk about them, nicely and not-so-nicely. When you're talking about someone nicely, it's usually complimenting them on something they did well or interestingly. Not-so-nice speak on the other hand is insulting them on things the didn't do well or just didn't do it at all. What I want to make clear is that, trash talk sucks, it really does, so when you're talking about someone, talk about them nicely or at least not talk about them at all. 

Hacking

Well, today my cousins accounts on EVERYTHING got hacked today. This is a result to having the same password, same username, same everything for well, everything. The hackers apparently just locked her out by changing all of her information and she's now unable to get it back. I'm very thankful that I have such an amazingly smart father who tells me how to avoid this kind of crap and teaches me ways that make this kind of stuff easier to mitigate. So, for all of you out there reading this, make sure you're able to cycle your user names/screen names, have about three different passwords you can use (or be able to use three variations of the same one), and have a good virus protections software.
