why don’t you just kill us? … you might as well

After reading Yura’s blog post about lunch being a mandatory course due to the growing number of students skipping meals to do schoolwork, I’ve decided that it is something that KIS especially needs.

… i’m getting there

Wow, it’s really starting to feel like the end of the year.
Up till now, there was no end of the tunnel.
There was just a neverending darkness … of work! of stress!
Well, there is still a lot to do before June 13th, but it feels closer!
Today, for the first time, a couple of my teachers [...]

oh mister sun, sun, mister golden sun, please shine down on me!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
Okay, okay, so it says scattered t-storms.  BUT STILL, I can’t believe it’s actually going up to 81 degrees!  It’s finally going to start to feel like summer!

Project Global Cooling Concert 2008

The world — from a different angle.

here’s my demonstration

The craziness of it all brought a lot of stress upon us, but now we can finally say it’s over! All of us worked really hard; some, during the weekly dance club meetings, and others, during our free time outside of school. For the past week or so, we’ve been breaking our backs [...]

fast and furious

May, already?  What happened?  Where has the time gone?  Why do I remember so distinctly every little thing that happened during the first few weeks of the school year?  Why does it feel like August 10th was just yesterday?  Why is everything moving so fast?
August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, MAY.
Wow, we’ve [...]
