I've made one New Year's Resolution this year: Beat Ashland at LD debate. That school monopolizes LD at every tournament. It's not exclusively that they're good (which is true in some cases) but that they bring like 10 LDers to every tournament. I've been beaten by two of them. One beat me in finals and took the novice championship, and the other barely beat me to quarterfinals. Also, the same LDer that beat me in finals beat Glencoe's other LDer TJ even though the ashland guy absolutely should have lost. The reasons would take too long to explain to anyone who hasn't been in debate before. Anyway; beat Ashland at debate.
The start of new weeks are bad for one reason only: Kumon. The most elite math and reading center in the world. Every single day of the year you do a worksheet of either a few really hard problems or a ton of moderate ones. It is EXTREMELY annoying, especially when you're doing like five different extra-curricular activities plus homework. Each one takes 30-60 minutes to do, since you have to do it the first time, mark the problems you've gotten wrong, figure out things by yourself (since my mom has no idea what kind of math I'm doing), correct problems...etc. with everything else I have going on, it's just a pain. Also, the people that work there and are supposed to help you are just really annoying and not really helpful.
It was Sunday night and I was going into my room to sit on my bed and read a book, but as soon as I flip the switch...BOOM! There goes the light bulb. We don't have any extras, so I had to fumble around in the dark for about half an hour to get my clothes, my book, etc. So today I went into my brother's empty room (since he's at college) and cannibalized his light bulb into my ceiling's socket. It's the wrong size, but it works (however dimly).
