Help! I have a project due tomorrow and I haven’t started!

We’ve all done this before. It’s 8:00pm on a Sunday, the night before a big project is due. You haven’t started the project, or you’re only halfway through, because you’ve been battling your way through a League of Legends or MW3 tournament. What do you do now?

The procrastinators will start the project right away, working their way through the night and through three Monsters and countless cups of coffee. The truly lazy, nerdy, and risk-taking student, however, will use The Document Corrupter without a second thought. It’s a simple process. You upload your unfinished essay or research paper to the website, and it will spit out a corrupt document that you can take to your teacher and complain.

Of course, there’s no guarantee that your teacher will give you an extra day, so use at your own risk!

Quick tip: How to categorize school assignments in your email

If you constantly email assignments to yourself, you may have experienced what I call an “inbox nightmare.” Imagine you’re at school one day, working on a project, and you’re trying to look through your email for a Spanish assignment you emailed yourself one month ago. You can’t remember the subject line of the email, nor can you remember the name of the document. Now, all you can do is hopelessly scroll through page after page of subject lines that read “testasdf” or “PRINT THIS ASAP IF YOU DON’T YOUR GRADE WILL DROP TO AN F-!!!!” Where could the assignment be buried?

But never fear! There is a way to counter the inbox nightmare: stay organized! And you have options.

…And THIS, is why you should ALWAYS finish your thoughts!

So a guy named David was listening to the teacher about foods in Japan. The teacher said “on Monday, students, please bring shitake mushrooms so we can sample them.” Read the rest of this entry

Post-school dreams

One weird thing that happens to me year after year is that I dream about school long after it’s over. My school year ends in June, but these kinds of dreams last until Mid-July, where they slowly fade away.

Last year, I dreamed of my school as a multi-level skyscraper, where I was going up and down all kinds of staircases and elevators, running around and confused. This year, I’ve been dreaming of walking up to the bus stop days after school is already over. The weird thing is, in each of these dreams, I’ve been walking in snow up to my bus stop! In one of my dreams, I had to climb a mountain to get back home, and while I was climbing that mountain, I discovered a hidden underground organization planning to destroy the world. Weird stuff.

I think that this condition is quite predominant in teenage minds, since they spend a large chunk of their 24-hour day at school or sleeping. So for all you teens out there, tell me if you’ve had any of these weird dreams, and if so, describe them.

The last Mac Curse

I’ve hated macs since 8 months ago, when my computer started acting up. I immediately realized that PCs were still better, with the persuasion of some people on Wikipedia.

It didn’t always be this way. I used to like Windows because I had no idea what a Mac was. When my dad bought a Mac mini and when my friends persuaded me to switch to mac, that’s when the magic happened. I immediately loved it’s sleek interface and cool design, and it was faster than my six-year old PC.

Today, what happened two years ago may happen again. My faith in Macs will probably be restored when I test out my friend’s Mac.

UPDATE (16:25 PST): I am writing a report on the evaluation and will release it, hopefully, by next week. There will be a link posted here

Fun Day

Today is going to be quite exciting. We have two assemblies: one for a comedy show and one for our seniors.

The first assembly was to admit disappointing. Most of the time I wasn’t paying attention, so I can’t tell you much, other than that one of our “comedian” seniors was telling jokes on the gym floor and that at the very end, the professional comedy group did a spin-off of something about Safeway.

The second assembly was dedicated entirely to seniors. We reviewed their past four years at our school, and awards were given out. Other than that no one else paid attention because so many people skipped the second assembly.
