A few things that have been on my mind recently, and since I haven’t been posting that often, I’ll post my thoughts on them.
First, is the iPod nano. I know that Apple stopped shipping USB cables with iPods a while ago, which I thought was a bummer. I have a 4 year old iBook (I have Tiger installed on it and it runs fine), and the only high speed connectors it has is Ethernet and FireWire 400.
With the iPod nano, not only did they not include a FireWire cable, but they also stopped support for it all together! I’m hoping to get a new computer as soon as Apple get’s its Intel powered laptops out, but until then, I’m stuck with what I’ve got, and that’ll make it a long wait to transfer 1000 songs to the iPod nano… not that I’m going to be getting one anytime soon.
I played frisbee for the first time today (well, like, actually played…. not a game, just passed around with a group of friends for like an hour), and it was pretty fun. When they start a frisbee club I’ll be in. Cross country! My o-so-beloved sport… lol, I finally got the registration papers for it today, and I’m going to ask my mom to fill it out. Yesterday I went running with Hiroshi for about an hour. We ran 5 miles!!!! How slow! lol… It was a work out for me though, I hadn’t ran since that one time in Japan… so I was totally out of shape, and since I’m going to get back on the team, I don’t want to be back on the Freshman team! (I want to be at least on JV, there’s no way I can get on Varsity *this* year, maybe next).
Now that it’s been about three school days into school, the teachers are starting to up the homework-load. Thus I gotta get my act together and after this I’m gonna start with finishing the hardest, AP American History. I’m gonna be getting an hour of homework a night for that class, and probably 2 hours over the weekend. The fun part of more work, is I feel the rush. I love the rush. It’s what motivates me.
I'm not finished with the design of my blog quite yet, please hold on while I fix the comments, archives, and search templates.
