Within the next month, I plan on registering two different domains and creating websites for each. One website will be for the Computer Science Club that I’ll be co-president of next year (Current site: http://hpcompsciclub.tripod.com/); the other site will be for the Final Fantasy XI clan that I’ve become a co-leader of (Current site: http://foxknights.tripod.com/). I designed both of the current sites, but I want to be able to do things that free hosts won’t allow (PHP scripting, custom email addresses, etc.). Maybe I’ll even migrate this blog to a subdomain to one of them to make image hosting easier.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how to do a bunch of the things that I want to do with the websites. That’s the stuff I’ll be learning in Indeoendent Study this next year, but until then, neither are going to be all that different from what they look like right now. Maybe I’ll start learning a few things before school starts; it’d at least give me something to do when I get bored.

Yeah, I went to go see that movie on Friday, and ironcially I’m making this blog entry “the day after tomorrow” from the POV of it being Friday. I know it sounds stupid, shut up. It was a good movie, and one that I’ll probably be adding to my DVD collection (along with the 3 others I’ve seen so far this summer).
The day after tomorrow is also when I start summer school. That goes until the 18th from 7:30 to 12:45 every day, but I get credit for an entire semester course (Speech), so I’m not complaining. At least I don’t have baseball to worry about this week in addition to summer school.

Apparently our series with Kilgore was only a one game series instead of a best of 3. We lost last night 4-3, so that ends our season for this year. And if that wasn’t bad enough, our bus broke down while we were there. Luckily it didn’t take that long for a replacement one to arrive, and I was home a little after midnight. Time to go to sleep now.

Yep, that’s what MapQuest says for the time to get from Dallas to Sulphur Springs. Now, if we lay out the rest of the day on a timeline, I can’t quite figure out why we’re leaving so early:
3:00 – Bus leaves HP
4:30 – Bus arrives in Sulphur Springs
7:30 – Game Starts
9:30 – Game ends/Bus leaves Sulphur Springs
11:00-11:30 – Bus arrives at HP
I do have to question the three hour gap in between us arriving there and the start of the game. We need 1 hour to warm up, so I could understand 90 minutes to 2 hours. But 3?? Hope I can find a way to entertain myself; I’ll be needing one.

Coach Gibbins called my house today while I was out seeing Shrek 2 (which is just as good, if not better, than the first). We play tomorrow in Sulphur Springs @ 7:30 PM, but the but leaves at 3:00. That means I have to be up at the school between 2:15 and 2:30 to get everything ready. This sounds like I might be the only student trainer at the game tomorrow…
If Wes is no longer going to be the Varsity trainer (and I’m therefore the only one), it’ll be interesting to see how games after this week are handled. If we win this series, we’ll have games on days that I’m in summer school. Games that are after 1:10 (or that I have to leave for after that time) won’t be a problem, but I don’t know how State will work if we go that far since I doubt I can miss (at least) 2 days of summer school to go to wherever those games will be played. Oh well, I guess we’ll just see how it works out.

I know everyone loves to be out of school, but it can get extremely boring sometimes when there’s nothing for you to do. Wait, let me rephrase that — when there’s nothing that you want to do. I have tons of games downstairs that I could (and probably need to) play, but I just don’t really want to right now.
I know that I didn’t post yesterday, mainly because nothing all that eventful ever happens on a Sunday. My day pretty much consisted of going to church, eating lunch, and playing FFXI. Not all that interesting to talk about.
Granted, today hasn’t been much more interesting. Wake up, go eat lunch, and then come home and post this. Yeah, that’s been about it. Now it’s time to go try and find something to entertain myself…

We won the series against McKinney (10-0 on Thursday at the game I missed, and 8-1 today), so this next week we’ll play Kilgore. No clue where that is (except that it’s somewhere in Texas), but apparently it takes a while to get there. From what I’ve heard, the games will either be here, Kilgore, Tyler, or some combination of those places. Coach Gibbins said that he’d call me this next week and let me know the times and places of the games (hopefully the times for the bus, also). If we keep advancing, the State Finals are the 10th and 11th of June.
Apparently putting eye black on me is now good luck for the team. Before the game, someone pointed out that they won the last game they put it on me, and now they’re 2/2. It doesn’t really bother me — I just have to remember not to wipe my face.
This might be the last week that I’m able to work the playoff games since I start summer school 1 week from Tuesday. I didn’t want to have to take Speech next year, so my only other option was to take it during the summer. 3 weeks vs. 18 weeks?? I think I’ll take the 3…

And for the record, yes, I did miss the bus yesterday. I got there at 5:00, and they decided that it would be a good idea to leave between 4:45 and 5:00. Oh well, at least I didn’t get in trouble for it (or haven’t to this point anyway). From what I heard, we apparently won last night so there will only be the 4:00 game tomorrow unless we lose.
Went and saw Troy today after school — pretty good movie, even though it did border on being a bit too long for me. Next up: Shrek 2 sometime near the beginning of next week.
Angela claims that she’s having a night swim party at her house on Saturday or Sunday (although it’s most likely Sunday) for “all of us” — I assume this means our U.S. History class. She said that she would call me with the time, so I guess I’ll see if she actually meant it or not sometime tomorrow.

Yeah, I know…Well, I meant to update this daily. Guess (at least over the past few days) it hasn’t been as daily as the title says…
2 exams down, none to go :) — All I have to do from today (actually yesterday) until tomorrow is just show up at school for any periods that I have a class. No exams, but we have to be there for attendance purposes. Today I have my Computer Science AP class; I think we’re watching Harry Potter and CoS for the two hour exam period. At least I’m taking my Xbox and that DVD up to the school with that intent. My guess is that 5 kids out of our class will show up. Granted, that’s an extremely high percentage when we only have a little over 10 anyway, but we’ll see.
Another baseball game tonight, and no one thinks it is important enough to tell the trainer when it’s time for the bus to leave. 5:00? 5:30? 4:00? I’ve been told all those times, all by different people. My guess is somewhere between 5:00-5:30, so that’s when I’m showing up. If the bus is gone and I get in trouble for it, it’s not like there was ever a consensus on when I was supposed to show up. If I do end up going, it will be close to 11:00 before I get home (game ends ~9:30, 1 hour drive home, then cleaning up the stuff and actually driving to my house).
Well, I guess that’s about it. Time to entertain myself for about an hour and a half and then leave to go up to the school.

Really, tomorrow is my only hard day of exams. Here’s our school’s schedule:
Tuesday:
1st Period Exam – U.S. History
Periods 3-6
2nd Period Exam – PreCal PAP TAG
Wednesday:
7th Period Exam – English AP (no exam in any AP class, but we still have to show up)
Periods 3-6
3rd Period Exam – Physics AP (except I have to do Computer Science AP late testing at this time)
Thursday:
5th Period Exam – Spanish AP
6th Period Exam – Computer Science AP
Friday:
4th Period Exam – Theater Arts (long term project turned in today)
8th Period Exam – Lunch
Varsity Baseball plays this week on Thursday @ 7:30 and Saturday @ 4:00. I’ll be working both those games (and the third, if necessary). Apparently no one thinks I’m going to be a trainer for Varsity Football next year (which I am), so a bunch of people got happy about that when I told them. We also have a picture for that during the 8th Period Exam on Friday — good thing I rearranged my schedule to have lunch then.
