when you feed fish that haven't been fed in a while, they kind of jump out of the aquarium and try to bite your hand. fish are scary.

i just realized i have a lot of work to complete before semester starts.

um. shit?

-----

last night i stayed up till 2AM, (and the next morning my dad was all, 'you slept late last night? guess you can't shy away from your college habits huh?') and i had all these visions, if that's even the appropriate word, of me in the next semester. i know it's going to be busy, and in my head i already have my schedule all planned out, what time i'm going to sleep at night, how i'm going to spend my afternoons from now on. as crazy as it sounds.

i am going to make this work.

but oh, something i found over The Great Internet. (haha tuan gatsby). it's kind of insane and mind-blowing how much i can relate to this, even though it has only been 1 semester y'know. and most of these things are pretty far-fetched. HELP.

you know you're in IB when...
-You can spell "Baccalaureate".
-"I.B., therefore I B.S."
-You go to bed at 3AM and think, "Oh, it's an early night!"
-It's okay to fail, so long as you are not alone.
-You have a special "test writing sweater" that you wore to all the IB exams.
-You do your essays on the plane ride to school. (for me, it's doing business on the bus on the way to CAS)
-You actually worry about the 105% you have in math. (well, 118%. but still, bloody hell)
-Tests are no longer singular efforts!
-When you're watching TV, you feel guilty because not all of your homework is done.
-Your TI-89 has made you stupid.
-Breakfast?! What's that?
-The words: "Oh my God! There's a triad in this poem!" (so guilty)
-You've mastered the art of procrastination so well that your research paper finishes printing just seconds before you have to leave for school.
-You hold "parties" to study.
-you write a two page answer to a one sentence question
-this number means something: 42 (hint: nothing to do with the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy)
-you get angry at someone for being late so you can't copy their homework.
-Your idea of impure thoughts is whether or not to copy math homework.

seriously, you can't not love this fiasco of a program. ngee :)
