Yep. We're going to the beach. (that stupid song keeps playing in my head every time I think 'beach' o_o) And we'll be there for ... uh, I think 3 days. At Busch Gardens. Is that how it's spelled? And the water park that's close by. And Washington D.C., to drop off my cousin at her new resident living place, where she'll live until her studies are over.
...
So.... avoid this site for the next couple of days, no?
Dunno if I should post my schedule here. I guess it wouldn't hurt.
One moment.
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo- Doo! Dododododo-doo-doo-...
Okay, enough of that.
C&C with Price-O'Neal
C&C with Shuford
Biology with Wood
Chinese 3 with Chen
Lunch
Band with Hunter
Calc AB with Lyttle
Calc AB with Lyttle
And then Calc BC instead of AB for the second semester.
Okay, bye!

Ah well..
I came here to update, but I have nothing to update. Also, my one hour break ends in two minutes. Yes. I am trying to be...
*leans close and whispers*'
Productive.
Amazing, isn't it? I wrote out the schedule last night, at 11:30, and today at 7:30 I started carrying it out, and I've actually followed it! Followed it! Just stupendous! Haha, no one says that word... I was going to awaken at 7, but I persuaded myself to start the day at... ugh, break over.
Well, ttyl, gotta do 'activity'. Like, productive stuff that's not math or piano... That's basically what that means.
....
Bye.

Go Congress
Woo-hoo! My first Go Congress. It was amazing. And I'm not just saying that because I won first for the 4k level of the US Open. Which I did. xD Can't say I feel too bad about that. I was sure I was going to get second though, because William Xu beat Eric Backus, who beat me. He also beat Jason... Preuss? I think that's it. I wanted to play Jason. =\... Well, yeah. My loss to Eric was the only one I had for the Open, and William's one loss... idk. But the questionable tiebreaking system deemed me the winner. Dunno. Jason was first, but then William and some one else, I think a 2k, beat him, so he ended up 4th. Eric 3rd, William 2nd.
Yeah. It was so fun! Nothing but playing go and being around go-playing people all day. Which means lots of go jokes. And for the banquet/ending-ceremony/prizesgivingtime, someone sang a wei-qi version of Call Me Maybe. I don't think there was louder clapping for anything else. (It was written by someone at the congress for a contest, and called Tesuji Maybe.) Kinda nerdy... I suppose... but still awesome, and hilarious. Completely hilarious.
We didn't sleep at the dorms provided at the congress though, we rented a house about 10 minutes away and ate breakfast at the congress, everyday from 7:30 to 9:00, at which time we would start our US Open game of the day (6 total). Then, starting at 10:00, there'd be lectures and game reviews with pros. Real, live, awesome pros. And they're hilarious too. People normally flinch at the word 'lecture', but these were fun. And educational. xD So yeah, then there'd be lunch from 11:30 (at which time the morning lecture would end) to 1:00pm, and after that they'd start another lecture for those who don't feel like or don't qualify for the tournaments of the day. There'd be stuff everyday till night like speed go, 9x9 go, 13x13 go, crazy go, youth speed go, youth insert-all-other-variations-here go, and yeah. Oh, and I'd like to mention one day my US Open game actually took until 1:00pm. -.- I played a 4 hour game and MISSED lunch. Missed it! By nothing! Like, I went to the lecture room to find my teacher and the 3 other classmates with us and Alvin asked why I wasn't eating, then I ran out to the cafeteria and everything was gone. Amazingly. But at least I won that game. Kinda sucked for the other guy. He played a super long game only to lose, and then missed lunch for it.
Uh.. so yeah. There was also midnight madness everyday at 11:00pm, but we didn't go to any of those. Can't play go when you're tired. That's why it's called madness. Crazy go I skipped out on too, cause there was a lecture going on at the time and David, Alvin and Alex wanted to go to that, and I held the phone, so while Jeff (Kuang) (my teacher) was doing volunteer stuff, I had to stick with them. I heard a lot about it though. There was stuff like
Magnet Go: where a placed stone would drag a opposite color stone one space closer and push the same color one space farther
Blind Go: go played just by saying coordinates (go's on a 19x19 board O.o)
One-Color Go: go played with one color (whoa, seriously?) (oh, and I tried this, it's pretty hard)
3-D Go: Go played on a 7x7x7 wire grid where you hang the stones on hooks (really wish I could've seen that)
and probably some others I didn't hear about.
I also got a lot of good ideas for helping my go club start up, and so I think I'll do some research on that, on spreading go and on starting a school club, more specifically at Enloe, where there are SO many clubs already.
Wish me luck!
And I guess I'm happy to be back. It was pretty tiring I suppose. On the first day, I played in the 9x9 tournament, which started at 9pm, and didn't end until after 11. I was doing good in my first 3 games, then I started getting bleary eyed and lost the following 2. ^^ So now that I'm home, I'm just going to catch up in my piano and stuff, and then sleep. Just. Sleep.
But first I had to update my blog, of course. I have so many minecraft videos to watch now! =D So... later. Ooh, and I also won a 9x9 board that's also a 4 piece puzzle, and the entire season of Fruits Basket. Okay, so the DVDs might've been participation. I also got this Super Pentominoes puzzle from participation in the Wisonet Cup, which... sucked. It was an open comp, so there wasn't any handicaps... Everyone I went up against was at least 2 ranks above mine. I still won my last game though (against a 1k). So it's okay. Wisonet was, like, the states vs each other, except there was only 6 teams and 2 of them were California. California 2 won first, and California 1 won second. NC placed last. ^_^
Also, Wednesday was our day off, and I went with my family (who came for that day) to go zip-lining in the mountains. Okay, so it was only my dad, my cousin Anne and I. But still enough to have fun. Also, before the ending banquetceremonything, the group that was there went horse-backriding for an hour just to waste time. We missed the youth-pizza party, but I think horse-back riding's worth it. And then on the way back, just around noon today, we stopped by Grand-Father mountain and toured the bridge and animal sites there for like an hour.
Okay... that's enough rambling. See you guys in school! Hopefully! OMG GOTTA GO CHECK MY SCHEDULE I FORGOT AH!
