LTWP

Lukas is an nineteen year-old boy and this is his diary. More on ltwp.org.

Travel is always invigorating, even if its only a few hours away.

Fun weekend with friends, met some new interesting people. Listening to good music.

I have three tests on tuesday… awesome. I’ll get through.

This is my last week before spring break. I have around 5 full weeks of high school left. Holy crap!!! I’ll be going to florida for the first time in my life. I’m looking forward to it, but only because I’ll get to hang out and relax… not because it’s florida per-se. I’m content never seeing the light of day (jokes jokes… kinda) and I’m not exactly fond of saltwater.

But I’ll enjoy myself, I hope.

Now back to studying french and stat yaaaaaay

Good weekend. Currently listening to Twista and working on an essay.

YESTERDAY: Did 3 calc assignments & started this essay. Went swimming. Mall-Crawled (ew it’s horrible how much of a clothing whore I’m becoming. I bought gant pants…). Ate dinner with my grandma. Came back and did some more work.

TODAY: Did laundry, studied physics for a few hours. Plans with friend cancelled. Now I’m here. Might have time for a movie tonight.

so about me being alive

in other news, homecoming was fun/crazy, I got cum laude, I still haven’t written all my college essays, and I’m becoming more social (kinda)!

Things on my mind

Rubik’s Cubes

Canadian Colleges/Universities

I need to write in my journal (I hadn’t missed a day in 6 months… I skipped almost two full weeks for APs…)

PROM PROM PROM???

want to read books

Summer’s gonna be BUSY

blarg blarg blarg blarg

I really need to stretch.

Some thoughts. (And an obscene panda.)

There need to be bicycle brakes that you can grab no matter your hand position on the handlebars. And they should look sweet.

Dropping history next year!!! That means I can double-up on maths. Yay.

Any day can be a good day with the right pair of underwear (i.e. yesterday).

Took my trash out (don’t worry, regular weekly activity). Some contents:

  • 1 lint roller sheet
  • hair
  • 2 fruit snacks wrappers
  • 1 little bite brownies wrapper
  • 2 rice crispy treat wrappers
  • 2 yoghurt cups
  • 2 banana peels
  • scraps of shirt tags
  • 2 discarded plastic collar stays
  • a lot of gum wrappers
  • a lot of gum
  • 2 spoons (one in pieces)

Junior Fashion show tomorrow! Wow I have a lot of APUSH to do! Anxiety for AP tests is starting to build.

Donated blood for the first time ever today. No dizzyness, just a little lightness afterwards. Gives me a good feeling to know I’ve done something.

Calc test today was horrible. I did nothing on the calculator page. That’s 25% of the test right there, gone. I didn’t have much time and they were just hard problems. This week was going pretty well. I need to realize that whenever I feel like the week/day/month is going pretty well, I probably am not working enough. Come on Lukas.

Today’s achievement. Didn’t end up building and instead felt obliged to sort. It’s an interesting balance… to maximize efficiency, you want to sort as much as possible before taking the time before putting each pile into its respective drawer. But I don’t want to sort forever and like the satisfaction of clearing the floor and seeing the bin half-empty.

I’ve overachieved my reading resolution—6 books read, working on the 7th! I’m not a huge reader but I’m happy I got through five, much more than 2008. I started Sputnik Sweetheart today (thinking about a cucumber in a fridge) and love it. K’s an interesting narrator. That made me think of this:

I swear they’re the exact same in my head. Theeeennn I thought about P and K as certain people in my life, one relationship getting better and one non-existent one falling down.

I’m at Biggby coffee because our internet cut out. Back from Texas. Got new shoes.

I got a surprise last night returning from my shower. I had left Mike & Joe in my room (expecting Mike to show Joe this, tee hee) without any hint of expecting what I would find when I came back. They had made a sneaky run to Target and Kinko’s earlier in the day and filled my room with streamers and ahem certain photos in a flash. Thanks guys. The photos are the best part.

(Tomorrow’s my birthday)

I’ve been really busy. AP US History is alright but a lot of reading. AP Calc AB is fun but has really irregular homework (sometimes a half hour, sometimes 2 and a half hours…) which bothers me. AP Chem is almost no work at all… but then the tests kill me. My professor likes to wheedle every little exception to every rule out of me. English is alright, but a lot more daily work than I’m used to getting from english. I think I’ll try to take the AP English exam, just to see how I do. French is humming along as usual and drawing shouldn’t be as much work as it is but I really need it for portfolio development.

Oh, and then I’m also exercising not nearly as much as I should be, my social life is getting ripped to shreds, I have no time to read, no time to work on fun projects (except on weekends, and even then I should probably be working).

But I’m a huge hypocrite. I still check tumblr. I’m down to following 55 people. That means that I follow less people than follow me! Still, I could slim it down, maybe. I should cut out twitters (I follow them via tumblr interface). rands posts too often but it’s almost always interesting stuff. Huuurrghhh how much do I need/want? I use the internet mostly to relax, to twiddle in-between stuff (and occasionally it spirals into hours of dawdling, but I’m getting better at avoiding that). Hrumph. My RSS isn’t much of a load, but I really do wish rososo worked again. I spend maximum of 10 minutes a day on facebook, maybe 10 minutes on flickr in the morning, and 15 minutes or so on email in the morning and evening. I guess I don’t really need daytum but I think it’s harmless.

Yikes this got long and descended into ‘my internets’ again. Seems like that’s the only thing I talk about. Almost done with homework tonight… I’ll just read and sketch a bit during study hall. And I’ll go cut out people I follow on twitter.
