I saw Perks of Being a Wallflower this weekend and it was really good and everything I wanted it to be, but at the same time it was super depressing and basically the entire time I was like 'same' to almost every little thing that happened and I don't know whether that's good or bad. Either way...eh life.
the only happy part of the movie was when they graduated, but then again it was also really sad so I guess it actually wasn't happy because laced with sadness

This post is generally going to be short and I wanted to kind of talk about my only problem with the way the Computer Programming class is structured, and that's the homework that we have to do and respond to online. I understand that it's important for the class but I always feel like there's a lot of responding and I generally don't have too much to say and I have to stretch it out to fit the requirements expected of me. I don't know if it's because I'm lazy but I don't like having to respond to a bunch of stuff for the class. Sometimes it feels irrelevant..I don't know but I wish there was less responding on the computer and more of talking about it in the classroom because I know that you can view other people's comments on the discussion boards but I never do and I feel like in class discussions (having them more frequently to take away the amount we respond online) would be better. 


oh yeah that's model Zayn just because.

and in that moment I swear we were infinite
Welll...we finished up the Conspiracy Theory project and moved on to the innovations section of Thriving in Our Digital World (which is cool like whoop whoop moving on and what not). Even though I don't like this section nearly as much, it's fine and I can deal.

My dad was pretty excited about our new binary project though where we have ten candles and we have to arrange them in binary to represent our grandmothers age. He's a big computer geek and has been waiting for me to approach him about this class because it's very much his thing.

Anyway I asked him if he could explain the different bases and how that changes the numbering system and he basically had a field day.

I even got him a binary clock for his birthday a couple years ago (still happy it's sitting in his office).

Then he went into detail about bits and stuff and I kind of tuned out for a while because it's not entirely that interesting to me, but I can't disappoint him so I just nod my head a lot and say "oh yeah that makes sense." It seemed to work (not like it ever doesn't) so that was GREAt. 

This whole week has been very blah and I've been sick, so I missed a day of Comp. Prog. which is why I asked my dad about binary. He made me do problems too, like where he would give me a number and I had to convert it. Very exciting stuff (wow, I never use the word very anymore cause my english teacher told me not to do that back in tenth grade...idk why that was important now but ok)

And then on top of that my mood has been NO GOOD because Liam and Danielle are no longer dating and it's just the saddest thing because they were dating for FOREVER and Liam got a 'D' tattooed and just now it's all gone to complete poop and it's like the world isn't right anymore.

I mean look at this, his body language, everything is so off and it kills me (when they asked Louis and Zayn about their girlfriends and it was so awk because Liam was always the one to pipe in and talk about Danielle cause he was so proud of her, ugh this whole interview was terrible to watch).


and then Louis is comforting him and it's just...I'm so done with everything
(questions that are NOT OK to ask)

But like wow, when did a boy band become so depressing. That's four people in the band who are just like not happy anymore that sucks like....

So this has pretty much been me this entire week. 

Well, we finally finished the CONSPIRACY THEORY project and presented on Friday, which was cool. It was a bit of a rush at the end, but we got through it and I liked the project quite a lot, so that helped (general interest = better performance/presentation right?) 

But I'm ready to move onto the next topic (even though I really liked talking about social media and networking and what not because that's my ELEMENT).

Also, changing groups? Can that be something we don't do because I can't imagine being in class without Caleigh sitting next to me because sometimes people take things WAY too seriously and I don't want to be next to people who are all about workworkworkwork and no fun/laughs whatever you want to call it.

all work and no play makes jack a dull boy

Oh, and that movie activity where we had to rate (15 I think it was) movies: Yes, I watch a ton of tv, movies, youtube vids concerning One Direction, interviews, EVERYTHING and when I went through the list of movies I was really confused/amazed how a lot of people have no culture and haven't seen movies like The Exorcist or The Shining (it's close to October I'm getting ready!). Like, how have they not seen the classics or at least heard of them. I don't know, maybe it's because I spend more time watching movies/tv than I do actually interacting with people (it's my choice I get annoyed easily). But what can you do? 


(Concerning the presentations though, I thought there could be a different way to do that, because it feels like a waste of time for ten groups to present the same thing over and over again and it wasn't exactly clear what we needed to include (cause some groups had similar points and others not really) when it came to the rubric and presentation.)

Ok on top of that I just want to add the new One Direction video/song Live While We're Young came out this past week (and I might along with Caleigh have seen the leaked video that was put up on Twitter and then taken down before possibly most everyone else did-wut up r3al fanz over her3) and let me just say IT'S REALLY GOOD. So far, as I post this at 11:49 tonight (it's playing right now go figure) I've listened to it 425 times since it has been released (but I think I left it on during something cause that's wow I deserve an award). 

"C'mon and let me sneak you out"
"I know we only met but let's pretend it's love"
"Tonight let's get some and live while we're young"
"Don't over think just let it go"
"And if we get together, ya get together, don't let the pictures leave your phone"
"And girl, you and I, we bout to make some memories tonight"
some lines from Live While We're Young
Free to your interpretation what the song is about

Welp. Blog post #1. This is exciting stuff. 
It's been a few weeks since school started and sometimes when I'm at school I think man, this is the best time of my life right here I should probably live it up. 
But I don't. Whoops.

So, Computer Programming has been pretty good though, I wasn't that excited for the class, but I'm actually enjoying it so far. We watch a lot of videos with facts facts facts! and then we talk about them. For the most part it's been about social media and networking and wat nawt which is, my favorite, so I'm sad that soon we are probably..going to talk about other things like hard drives and the stuff my dad talks about at dinner when he wants everyone to know he knows a lot about computers.

SEGWAY SEGWAY SEGWAY

Oh, and we are doing a project that makes me feel like a DETECTIVE and stuff which I LOVE because that's basically what I do during my daily life. LIKE FOR EXAMPLE TODAY: Louis Tomlinson of One Direction tweeted today but it was obviously management because they do have control of all the boys twitter but mostly they use Louis' because he's taking one for the team and being a amazayn for doing that but anyway he tweeted today and it was not him because he did a bunch of rude replies to fans saying things like Larry Stylinson was b.s. (which is the pairing of Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles from the band because they have been dating for ever since the band got together and are in love and this is kind of another story, but it's the main reason why management gets on his twitter so they can kind of tell people that it's not true even though it very much is - hah. nice try modest!). So basically he lost a lot of followers today and it was sad because there's a big portion of the fandom who just doesn't get anything and runs around singing I WANT TO MARRY LOUIS! I WANT TO MARRY HARRY! But like cmon you are a thirteen year old girl, that's not going to happen also they are gay so that's a double no unless you are a guy, then it's a little more reachable I guess, but not really.  Cmon people its embarrassing.


BUT THAT RANT was like this project, where someone got hacked on the fb and bullied someone else and we have to figure out who did it, which is like super not hard because I DO THIS ALL THE TIME and so it's a lot of reading into how people type and stuff. Pro I guess man. Shoo

Another thing I don't want to do is change groups because I find it hard to work with people who take things too seriously, like let's have a laugh and have some fun while we do projects okay. But you know how people can be. It's mega depressing.

Also, on one of the Fakebook walls, I think it was Chris...yes it was. He posted this vid and I thought man it's Friday and I haven't watched the vids so I did and it was one of those cheesy looking love vids and I was like ok this is kind of cute and then BAM it turned out it was two gay guys and I started crying because it was captioned "It's time people," and I get really emotional about this stuff because HARRY AND LOUIS OK they can't come out (And if you think I'm crazy just wait until the end of the year when they do it's going to be BIG NEWS I promise you, I know what I'm talking about) so I cried a bit in class and that was fun. Then I fell in love with Chris a little bit and I wanted to be his friend, but then I realized he was a fake person so......

The main idea so far: I really love being a detective and I like the conspiracy project and then the things we are talking about in Comp. Prog. (woah abbreviations) so far so hooray!

OH AND I FIGURED OUT MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME:
She hates everybody, anything, everything and she is my hero so I'm going to be a sumo wrestler after they lost the weight because April is me. 
And this is Zayn Malik, which is where I got my blog title and url from (I'll probably talk more in depth about him later). He smokes and has tattoos because some Bradford Bad boys just want to watch the world burn.
