Don't you just love New Years Day? You wake up all excited, in the big 2-OH-OH-4! Not in my case. I only stayed up until 1 AM (which is pretty early compared to my normal New Year's Eve schedule), and woke up at noon wiped. Felt terrible. Enough ranting.

Everybody's doing it, so I'll join the club. New Year's Resolutions:

1. Get more organized.
2. Focus more on school. (goes with 1)
3. Do more saxophone pieces, on free time.
4. Code more. Nothing wrong with that.

I've personally enjoyed Dodo's blog posts about China's economicical and political troubles. Very interesting. I'm beginnning to read more articles on the subject.

Everybody enjoy their new year!

Yesterday a friend and I were talking about how stressful school was getting. Then my friend asked me what I would be doing if I didn't have school to worry about at the moment. My reply: More sleep, more active, and, oh yeah, actually get back to working on my site, drewburns.com. I'd probably post in this blog more often too.

Does anybody use the regular Mozilla browser anymore? When I first tried Firebird, I was very impressed, but, it didn't have enough to keep me away from IE. Then I downloaded the regular Mozilla, and have been using it ever since. Weird.

Celebrate! Experts predict that spam will be gone by 2006! Then again, I'm not trusting it, since it was Bill Gates that made the claim. Apparently, Microsoft and Brightmail Inc. (which I haven't even heard of), an antispam company, are teaming together to pounce on spam. Ten USD it doesn't happen.

I'm getting closer and closer to Mozilla by the day. I haven't found one problem with it, besides the fact I can't scroll as fast as other browsers, it gets my favorite browser ever award.

Why, oh why? My Milwaukee Bucks just lost to the New Orleans Hornets, who they were tied with in Central Division standings. Ah well. It's a good thing I picked the Timberwolves this year. (I'm talking basketball, for those of you who don't know) Lena has it easy, she has a team that's considered terrible if they don't win the championship.

For the first time in a long time, I didn't have homework today. How great? Gave me more time to work on a few scripts I'm working on for our school newspaper's website, which I rarely get to do. And, it's time for more sleep than usual.

Last week was the end of first semester at my school and beginning of the second. Sadly, with the second semester comes new classes. Two classes I previously had were Computers and German, and those two were replaced by Art and Spanish. I have nothing wrong with Spanish, but I'm not an artist.

Luckily, my time has come. Tomorrow I begin the day at school for a half an hour, which is followed by a field trip......to the movies! How great? Our entire grade is going to see "Cheaper by the Dozen". Anybody seen it? I've heard the book is good, but have heard nothing about the movie.

After that I'm participating in a grade-wide Trivia Challenge. *Freshes up on useless facts* And to end the day---a lock-in. A lock-in is where a class stays in the school overnight, doing whatever. In other words, I'll probably be up all night and won't be able to walk on Saturday.

Anybody doing NaNoWrimo this year? I think I'll try it, see how it goes. 1,700 words a night doesn't seem bad at all, it's just coming up with the plot and story that's the hard part.
