I know this is off-topic, but happy 4th of July! Will any of you be doing anything interesting?

Nah.
Just watching some fireworks. Thats no way to celebrate independence. Itd be fun, if we ourselves can declare and be proud of the independence. aka Light up the sky ourselves.

Happy birthday jason817!!! =))

I'm not doing anything either... but I think after studying about the US government and watching the play 1776 I really did get a new sense of appreciation of this country (yay stuff I learn in school actually matters! ^_^)~~~

1776 pisses me off.

In history we had a choice whether to go outside and play softball or, if somebody (really stupid) brought in a history movie, we could watch that. This girl insisted on bringing in 1776; even the teacher didn't want to watch it. But we did, and it was painful. I hate stupid people.

1776? the musical???
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!
Esp. at the very end when each delegates signs the D. of I. and the bell starts tolling... a sense of respect and pride filled the entire theatre...

thanks guys/girls. Sandy, how'd you do on the Bio SAT II??

By Sandy (Sandy) on Friday, July 04, 2003 - 06:47 pm: Edit

Bio M 760. I was surprised. I thought I got like a 560. I was so excited that I woke everyone up at midnight with my screaming and excitement. Btw, how is your SAT prep coming along?

By Jason817 (Jason817) on Friday, July 04, 2003 - 07:13 pm: Edit

nice job. I just came back from a week-long SAT prep camp at Stanford. I improved 140 pts from my SAT I in may, which isn't saying much considering I made scantron errors during the real test. I am taking the Testmasters course or whatever its called later this month. Good job on the Bio

By Sandy (Sandy) on Friday, July 04, 2003 - 07:56 pm: Edit

Thanx. Had fun at the camp? I remember you saying that there were some trips involved. Don't worry about your score too much. I am sure it will go up after the Testmasters course. Wow, 140 points improvement already is great. Good luck!

Happy Birthday, Jason!

By Emmittsmith (Emmittsmith) on Friday, July 04, 2003 - 09:19 pm: Edit

Happy B-day...

There's no better way to celebrate your country's independence than by blowing up a small piece of it!

Happy 4th everybody!

Emmitt

Heh. Thanks apguy and emmitsmith.

The camp was pretty fun. Yes, there was a midweek baseball game we went to. Good mix of social activities and SAT prep.

How is your bday going so far?

By Jason817 (Jason817) on Friday, July 04, 2003 - 11:57 pm: Edit

i didnt really do anything. I've been home all day. I guess I might go see fireworks later tonight...

By Sandy (Sandy) on Saturday, July 05, 2003 - 12:08 am: Edit

You know what I did on my last bday? Studied for my pathetic math final..... Bdays are not that special for me anymore

By Jason817 (Jason817) on Saturday, July 05, 2003 - 01:06 am: Edit

By Sandy (Sandy) on Saturday, July 05, 2003 - 01:30 am: Edit

Ya, the one I will remember forever. In fact, my bday is always during finals. So, how is the summer going besides SAT prep?

By Jason817 (Jason817) on Saturday, July 05, 2003 - 01:51 am: Edit

By Sandy (Sandy) on Saturday, July 05, 2003 - 01:54 am: Edit
