Were you very excited when photos for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" movie came out?

Were you totally psyched to go see the movie?

Were you extremely annoyed when they pushed back the premiere date to next summer?

I was.

As sort of a tipoff to the basketball season, which begins tonight at Kenney Gym for the varsity girls team against Atwood-Hammond, I thought I would create a mini-goal for all of Uni's basketballers:

By the end of the season, you should be able to dribble the ball as well as a certain 5-year-old girl.

With the swim season nearing an end, I found some time to sit back and explore my athletic past.

It didn’t take too long.

The only thing I've ever really focused on athletically was dance, and as I got older I could never find a dance school that taught things I was interested in.

But last year I finally found something I love.

Last year, then-juniors Kareem Sayegh, Natsuki Nakamura, and Karolina Kalbarczyk invited me to be a member of a new group, Uni High's first dance crew: Tempe Fugi.

Seeing as to how I should be working on some chemistry homework right now, a great idea for a blog entry just occurred to me. I am going to talk about procrastination.

For English class my group decided to go to another girl's house to record our skit. She lived way out in the country, which was a great setting for our forest scene.

After spending time getting our costumes on, we went outside with all of the things for our set and found a great little area in the middle of the trees. It was perfect in every way. Well, except for one thing.

You might see a lot of people wearing blue today — more than usual. That's because supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama have declared Sept. 30 to be Obama Blue Day.

To be honest, it has been a really frustrating couple of weeks. For a while I have been nothing but stressed and tired. Being sick Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday didn't really help. By Wednesday I wasn't exactly holding on to much hope.
