Year in Review
Wow, I can't believe the year is almost over- in like two weeks it will be summer, and, let me tell you, it can not come fast enough... Anyway, I've had a lot of memorable moments this year. Some that stick out- Lao Shi yelling at my Chinese class every period without fail, making the crew team, and all the new experiences that came with it, the Conrad-Weiser trip, Mid-terms, plus a bunch of others that I just can't think of right now. I couldn't really tell you a best and a worst, it's just too hard to pick out one particular experience. It's been a big year for me, though, with lots of new responsibilities and stuff, and I think it was a good transition into high school and all that it entails.

Final Exams
I can't believe exams are only like two weeks away; I still haven't started studying...anyway, I plan to focus mainly on Math and History; Math because I'm pretty bad at Math, and History because I don't remember half the things we've done since midterms. Physics will be simple, hopefully, as all it is is an overblown lab report. English is just memorizing vocab, and Latin is just reviewing different grammar patterns and words that I have forgotten. Chinese, although somewhat tough, should be easy enough- the only thing I'm really worried about for that is having to write characters, which I do not do very well. I plan to start reviewing sometime over the next week, but having the review packets would really help, so maybe I'll just wait for those (that's what I used on Mid-terms)... regardless, I need to start soon...
Only three more weeks!

Summer Plans
First of all, Quiggley, you stole my topic, and I'm mad. Now I'm going to have to ask how people think they did on exams, or something stupid. Anyway, my summer plans... Well, I'm here for the first week or two, just chillaxin', and I think I might be helping out with some chores around the house, painting and stuff. Sometime in June I think we're going to Providence, RI to see my cousins, and we might be going up to Vermont after that. Then, in July, I'm going to New Hampshire for a week for a rowing camp, Black Bear Skulling. I also might go to a similar camp at Princeton. In early August, me and my family are going to Martha's Vineyard which, for those of you who don't know, is an island off Cape Cod, and also one of my favorite places; it's really nice just to be able to get away from everything there and relax. In later August, I think I might do another rowing camp and then, yay!, it's back to school time. I hope it doesn't go too fast...

Four Day Weekend
Sorry this is so late- I just realized I still haven't done last weeks blog. So, what did I do last weekend? First, I went down to the river on sunday for crew practice, then just kind of hung out the rest of the day (I went to Rameen's bakery for a little, after crew, and ate some of the best cookies I've ever had). Saturday and Sunday are just kind of a blur of hanging around the house and doing nothing. I did hang out with my neighbors for a little, much Halo 3 was played. Then, monday, we was supposed to go to the river again, but it rained, so I just stayed home and did homework. I had this big project for Chinese I had to finish. My grandma also came over for a little, we ate lunch. Then tuesday came, and school. Since that was the last real break we will have this year, now, its a countdown to the summer...

Girls
Wow, Zack, what a surprise. Which school has the best girls? Honestly, I couldn't say. I don't go to too many dances, so I can't really pass judgement. I've heard some good things about AIS... that's really about it.
