18th bday

star trek and rambo

so its been a while since i posted anything. more like since i did anything, and i apologize for that. anyway i've been watching alot of movies as of late, and i thought i would share that with you.
over the last two weeks i have watched all the star trek movies with the original cast, thats 6 movies, and they were funny. some intentionally, some not. my favorite movie was defiantly Star Trek IV: the voyage home. In this movie, the crew of the Enterprise use a stolen Klingon Bird of Prey, go back in time to the 80's, get two humpback whales, and then return to the future. so funny. spock walks around the city of san fransico or diego, i don't remember, but with a white cerimonial robe and a headband to cover his ears. i lol'd every time i saw him. when someone asked what his issue was Kirk said he was part of some movement in the 60's and did too much LDS... meaning LSD... ya see, they don't have those drugs in the future... its funny. another great part was Bones in the hospital. a doc from the future observing our medical practises... redonkulas.
Enough Star Trek then, even though i love it. My friends Dill, Dax, Christian and I have been watching the Rambo movies... They are great. kinda like star trek, that at parts im not sure if it is meant to be funny, but it absolutely is. the first was most def the funniest. the third was great. best part, Rambo loops a rope around a guys neck, pulls a grenade pin attached the guys vest and the pushes him down a hole. the rope snaps his neck and the grenade explodes simalaniously, or however that is spelt.

alright, im out. have great night, or day, or whatever.

extreme lazyness

For the last month or so, i have been taken over by a terrible case of ‘senioritis’.  The problem? I'm a junior.  and i know what you are thinking, I'm exaggerating… well, let me show you the urban dictionary result for senioritis

noun. A crippling disease that strikes high school seniors. Symptoms include: laziness, an over-excessive wearing of track pants, old athletic shirts, sweatpants, athletic shorts, and sweatshirts. Also features a lack of studying, repeated absences, and a generally dismissive attitude. The only known cure is a phenomenon known as Graduation.

the first set of symptoms will probably never get me, because i hate sweat pants and i have disliked wearing them since i was a small child, also i don’t care for sports attire…. but this part is what scares me… a lack of studying, repeated absences, and a generally dismissive attitude. .. that is me to a T, or however that saying goes.  i have stopped caring.  and it saddens me, all i do in school is play flash games and or solitaire.

Here’s the main problem, i don’t do anything in 4 of my classes, because i have either taken the AP exam or its a study hall.  and that lack of doing things has spread into my other courses of study.  any advice?  because i need it.

Good day to you! –Taylor Fritz

AP Tests!!!

oh shoot oh shoot oh shirt!!! i have two AP test coming... one on friday, in 4 days, and one on monday, in 6 days... i am so terrified, of the APUSH one. i have no fear for the Physics test, i have always found it to be a fairly easy subjuct, but APUSH has wooped my butt all year. right now as i type this i am taking a practice test i found online, and i feel like i know the anwsers...

and of course i didn't do very well, how embarassing... good thing im not graded on it... i really need to study.

PSSA testing

so for the next week or two i will be forced to take the PSSA's. they are a series of standardized tests and i do NOT want to take them. im not stressed out about them, i don't hate taking tests... i found the SATs not to be too challengeing, i don't want to miss class time in my AP classes. yes, i am a total nerd, i know that. now, if you don't mind i will criticize the gov't for messing up my education

hey gov't! you suck! all i want to do is be educated, and you are taking away from it. instead of being taught was is important in school, the administration teaches us to be good at YOUR standardized test. and i think that is stupid. i want to learn about light and fluids and the second world war. i don't want to fill in little bubbles and tell you that i know how to take a test. even though, i personally, am a good test taker, there are those who are not good at tests. you ask them a question, like how to calculate the tension on a rope with a pulley and they can explain it with ease. then you put it in test form and they can't do it. these standardized tests only add stress to students lives.

sincerely,
