I don't really know much about US politics, but the Prop 8 thing is the issue I have been paying attention to since it passed in 2008...
I have 5 more days left of spring break.. Not sure how to spend it hehe

I will have a phone interview for an entry-level economist position this Friday, and I will have an interview with another company next Friday. I'm freaking out. I hate having phone conversations, especially in English. Don't know if my hearing is bad or my phone is receiving really bad signal. I just can't hear so clearly when I talk to people on the phone. >.< and I never imagined that my first job interview would be done over the phone T_T

I'm almost old enough to get my learner's permit, except I have to do this Drivers Ed course, which I signed up for at the online school. They still haven't placed me in a class.
Also, I drove my dad's car a few weeks ago. I was too scared to go faster than 20mph, but we were driving on a deserted dead-end road anyways, so it wouldn't have been very smart to go fast.
Automatic cars are so easy to drive that it's almost scary.
Also, I'm almost done with my online Algebra class which I had to take because they saw I was good at Math so they put me in a higher level class and completely forgot that, having just come from India, I probably didn't have the Algebra credit I need to graduate.
And I have Spanish speaking people at my school. When they talk in Spanish and say "aqui" (here), I almost respond because my nickname is Aki and they sound the same.
Hehe, just went back and looked at all the stupid threads I created when I was younger... ;D

I didn't lose the card. My dad called them and we found out Amazon charged me for a membership of Amazon Prime without asking me first...-_-||| Now I got a refund Also, do you think these are "radical" ideas? My teacher said so Everyone else put 10 different wars, including WWI & WWII...I only put this stuff because it was all I could think of, I wasn't trying to be "radical" "Invention of clothes - that's probably a big one." - My teacher You should've seen how huge that picture was when I put it up before resizing it

lol I think that's creative. I'd rather be radical than be part of the boring crowd Amazon once also charged my for their Prime service after I checked the box for prime shipping (because it said "free") without knowing that by doing so I had signed up for their Prime service that had a $70 annual fee (that's what the fee was back then). I was shocked but I was able to cancel it and get a refund. Tricky business people! They had the fine print written in a tiny font where you would have to click on some link in order to see it. I'm pretty sure a lot of people are paying that fee without even knowing about it.

I can only hope that number is going down. Do you know about the cxpfy.com authentication pop-up? I don't know how to remove it because my pop-up blocker is already on. Also, I just signed up for a summer job at the community clubhouse. There are currently no empty slots but they said they'll inform me if I get the job. I decided to be more adult-like by capitalizing the stuff in my profile. PS Which do you prefer - bottled water from a store or tap water from your house?

I prefer bottled water because it's convenient and sometimes I convince myself that the water is cleaner. But I think the tap water can be filtered and be as clean (or even cleaner?). Who knows what those bottling companies do to make the water clean, if they even clean it at all lol... Whatever, I've lived long enough to be immune to both bottled and tap water so I don't really care ...

I prefer tap water because I can't drive to the shop to buy bottled water. The nearest shop is 2.5 miles from my house on an almost abandoned highway. Also, I broke my laptop. I don't like my mom's iPad. I'm using it right now and typing this took me a long time.

I've always wanted to go to New York.
I'm in Florida and it's been raining since yesterday. My vacation started today and the best thing I can find to do right now is practice 1st grade kanji (yeah, I've been lazy with that...)
I hope it stops raining soon because I just signed up for Outdoor Education and Creative Photography at the Virtual School.
Also, they close the pool when it rains...(there's a river I could try swimming in, though...)

michael: that's awesome! I have my last final tomorrow and will be done with school forever. It's been cloudy over here for the past few days, but the weather is pretty warm so it's bearable. I hope it will be sunny on my graduation day!!

I just watched a video that said everyone should learn to code in school. If everyone learns to code, how the heck am I supposed to get a job? Also, I am very sad that I'm now officially in 10th grade. 10th grade means I can drive next summer, and when I can drive, I'm not far from being an adult...
