Wendy and I were trying to get to Union Square but we walked and I basically always go the wrong direction for at least 1 block. It took us until we were in ChinaTown to realize we walked in the wrong direction, hahaha.

Amy Milan
Mia came to visit from Yale for the weekend.
We went to The Bell House and saw a show: Amy Milan and Bahamas. It was nice and relaxed. Great music.

Rain, Rain, Go Away. Come Again, Never...
(BUT NOT REALLY)
It didn't rain today (woooohoo!), which is good because I wore my Toms and they didn't get soaked. Yay! But I did have to RUN to school. Literally, I RAN. I looked at my phone and it said "12:23" and I just thought "OH SHIT, I HAVE MY ENGLISH MIDTERM IN 7 MINUTES!!!" ... well, it takes me 10-15 minutes to walk to school from the apartment, so I ran there (I didn't actually get outside until 12:25). I was late, but only barely. FUN.
Running with a laptop in a bag isn't quite ideal.

Hey baby, what's your tanx cosx?
My love for you is like a concave function's positive first derivative, because it's always increasing.
This pick-up line is funny... LAUGH!
But really, calculus only has one use: nerdy pick up lines. I'm taking this calculus course and everything we learn something new, I just sit there and think "and why would I need to know how to calculate the derivative of the inverse of that function? how is that going to be useful to me?" IT'S NOT. That's the true. I see no reason as to why someone would have to do that in any artistic field, but it's a required class, so I'm taking it.
On top of ridiculous, unnecessary math, we have to use webassign. What kind of shit site is that? It crashes all the time and everyone just wants to smack the creator of the system. Math online is weird.
But! Wolfram|Alpha is the best.

Weeds
Nothing is open on Easter... not even Costco. JUST NATURE.
Megan and I took a walk through the Burbank Gardens, but we had to stop due to my large open wound in the shape of a phoenix on my foot that did not enjoy the amount of sun.
Happy Easter!

Academy Awards
Since I work at a movie theater, I believe that it is only right for me to state my opinion on the awards.
BEST PICTURE
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Frost/Nixon
Milk
The Reader
*Slumdog Millionaire
However, I believe that these are not the best representation of the year.

IB + Senioritis
This is honestly the worst combination on the face of the earth. SERIOUSLY.
I have to work on a stupid IB physics lab, IB Film commentary, and work on other homework (in general). BUT ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS CUPCAKES.
CUPCAKES.

Holy crap, I am having the worst case of procrastination. Stupid school. It's just so close, but soooooooo far away from the end of this awful box of stupid people. High school sucks. Gah. Senioritis.
