Classes

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 8:01 AM

High schools and colleges have very different schedules and it kind of rises my curiosity as to why it's like that. Why are they so different? In high school you don't really have that much flexibility. The most you can choose is a couple of courses that you can opt to take for fun, but even then, you have to take them earlier. Later on when you're a senior there's not much work to be done except for college.


I know they're adding a lot more programs for high schoolers and giving them a lot more options than what my father or I had, and I'm not that old. I know at my high school they have all of these classes and courses that I would have loved to take, but now I have to pay for them in college.

High school is basically the same thing nationally. Around 7 to 8 it starts, and around 2 to 3 it stops. Then there's other stuff after school if you want to hang around.

College is so much more different. You have total flexibility with absolutely everything. You can choose your major, choose your minor, what time you want your classes to be, what day of the week, and what classes you want. You can take as much classes you want, or as little.

I think high school should be like that, to some degree, but it wouldn't be as controlled, but I do think it would be better overall. It would enthuse people more, I believe anyway.

So my classes for this semester are Making of the Mind, Statistics, Listening to Music, Sociology, and Science of Modern Electronics.

That's it really. Blog you later.

Nerdy Sadness.

Today was Apple's keynote event, which most of you readers probably don't care about, but I cared about it, cause I'm a nerd, aw yeah. Just like the long run on sentence, the keynote was pretty useless and it didn't help me out in anyway. They released this new tablet called the iPad, and I must say I'm disappointed. Especially because they didn't talk about anything else really.


I was hoping for them to release a new laptop or something so that I could get it. For those of you who know me, or read up on me, know that I've been wanting a laptop for years. anyway, all that aside, i guess i won't be getting a new laptop.

From the first day of running my legs are still sore, so that's both a good thing and a bad thing. It's good because it means I'm developing more muscle and that's definitely a plus. It's a bad thing because I didn't think my legs were this weak. For everyone who knows me, I'm a generally fit person, and am well able to do anything I really want to, but I guess running for a couple miles just isn't fit for my legs just yet.

Anyway, that's going along, and I don't have much to say about my classes just yet. Maybe on Friday or Saturday i'll make another post, because that's the end of the classes for the week.

Blog you later!

School tomorrow.

School starts tomorrow, and I'm starting off with math and music. Not very advanced classes but they'll do nonetheless. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of my college friends again, most of the ones I haven't really seen. Some of them I guess I won't be seeing because my schools system screwed them over.


I've also decided to start jogging, every other day, in order to better myself. I also wanted to get my dad into it, because it would be really good for him. Yeah, I'd love to get rid of asthma, and other stupid stuff, and be happier.

In other news, nothing else is really going on. Maybe that will change within the upcoming weeks. I feel like it should.

Internet's been out.

My internet got cut off because of my router going bad. For you non-tech savvy people, that means thats bad.


Anyway, now my internet is back, and rolling, so I can happily keep occupying your minds with my words! Or so I think, and let me have some hope.

I got a letter from my school saying that my classes have been held, and it doesn't really state exactly why. I go online, and everything seems to be fine, but I feel like something stupid is going to happen, and they won't notify me of anything until the last second. Stupid school system.

My friend was telling me how they screwed him over. He was signed up for classes, and they just dropped him immediately because they have a new policy. Your supposed to pay for classes the day you register. Well, they didn't tell him, so they just dropped him. He was going to get a loan, but you have to wait 3 weeks for the loan, and classes start next week, so he can't do that. So the system has screwed another one. I doubt he's the only one too, I'm sure there's tons more people.

I'm going to retire and play this game called Beautiful Katamari, which is a lot of fun.

Birthday.

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 9:54 AM

Today, is my birthday. I should be excited but I'm really not all that crazy for it. Yesterday some big things happened, and now I'm just troubled. I don't really want to say much about it online, because it is pretty personal, and honestly, knowing people, if I talk about it, it will probably cause more high school drama, and that's not what I want.


Needless to say, my 9 month didn't go so well, but you know, I still have hope, and I'm going to keep on pushing. Remembering the post I wrote on optimism one day, it's key, especially in my life, and I'll never give up, on this thing or another.

I'm now 20 years old, and full of a lot of more wisdom then I was earlier on in my life.

Thank you for the birthday wishes everyone, I hope I'll have a great birthday!

9 Month and Birthday!

What a weekend! Tomorrow will be my 9 month will Allaire, and that's quite a while for me. It's been a great 9 months and nothing has gone wrong and there's been no problems since the beginning. It's great to have her around, and I feel happy when she is. Then the day after that is my 20th birthday. Yeah, I can already feel the wrinkles starting to appear on my face.


I wonder how the whole weekend will work out to be.

I invited a bunch of people to my house on Sunday because my father said I should, so if I forgot to invite you, let me know.

That's all really, I don't want to go into detail about any specific thing, so, blog you later!

Closing In.

My birthday is in 5 days, and although I'm not as excited as most people are during their birthday, I'd like to celebrate in some spectacular way. I was going to go to this thing called Golden Festival, but they rose the price so it's not even worth it. Most of my friends wouldn't even go anyway, so what's really the point?


I figure I just spend some quality time with my friends, and have some fun, just like any other day really. I'm also going to a show on Monday and Tuesday, at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, so that'll be fun. I might be seeing some friends on Wednesday next week too, so we'll see what happens.

I returned a package that I found in Bank of America to the owners. I tried looking their addresses or phone number up online, but I couldn't find anything, so since I had the address, I went there with a friend. It was pretty nice. We went to Far Rockaway, and tried to find the apartment. After we gave the package back, we went to the beach and admired the beauty of it. It was really nice and peaceful.

Anyway, I might go to an archery range again today, or within the coming days.

Birthday's Nearing.

My birthday is closing in, on the 17th, which is a Sunday, and I have no idea what to do for it. There is this thing called the Golden Festival which I will definitely be going to, but it's in the city, and it costs some amount of money for each person. I've been going there every year since I was a little kid, and it's a lot of fun.


I doubt many of my friends will be allowed to go in though. It's in the upper west side of the city, and it goes on till about 3 AM. It's basically a festival type of thing, and I'm pretty sure I wrote about this last year as well.

If anyone has any ideas of what I can do, besides that, for my birthday, then I'd be happy to take some advice.

Archery Ranges and Warhammer.

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 8:48 AM

Those two things in the same sentence is pretty hard to understand, they're the complete opposite of each other. I went to an archery range yesterday and shot some arrows with a bow for around 2 hours. It was a lot of fun, and I think I did pretty well for my first time. After that we went back to my house to eat, and then we went to my friend Matt's house and played Warhammer.


Warhammer is a really complicated game, and it's one of those stereotypical nerdy games, but it's a lot of fun, at least I think so. Think Dungeons and Dragons, but not as complicated. You basically have pieces, and you can paint those pieces. You set up your own army, you cast spells and move and attack, and it's a per turn basis game. I think it's a lot of fun, although it's very time consuming.

Anyway, on Tuesday I'm going to go to Mark's Comics to see Matt play a real Warhammer game, and it should be interesting. There's no way I can afford those pieces or mats or paint or anything, but I'd like to get into it.

I'd also like to get into archery, although the bows are ridiculously expensive. The cheapest one I could find is around 65 dollars, and you still have to buy the arrows separate, the arrow holder, and finger protector, and the arm protector. At the place we went, there bows that were being sold for hundreds of dollars, some even almost a thousand.

Anyway, if you want to come with me next time I go, just tell me, it costs 20 dollars.

New Years Resolution

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 5:37 PM

It's the first day of not only the year, but the decade. Last decade started off crappy and it certainly ended crappy, if everyone tries to make a bigger impact on the world, I'm sure it will be better. I hope when I turn 30 in 10 years, the world will be a better place. I can already see more crappy movies and music arriving though.


As the New Years passes, New Year resolutions come. I like to write a list of everything I want done this year, and then seal it and put it somewhere you won't find until the next year comes and you open it and see what has changed since you wrote that list.

I had a pretty good New Years with only a few people, but it was fun nonetheless. I hope you all had a good one. It's national hangover day, so stay safe.
