btornado's Journal: Near the end of school

Well school's almost over. Once this week is done, we only have one real week left of classes, and then a week for finals. I'm really looking forward to the end of the school year this year because I have a lot of stuff planned for the summer. Problem is, I have a ton of work that I have to do, mostly for my English class. I have to read Vanity Fair (which I'm not gonna do) by next Tuesday. I also have to read The French Lieutenant's Woman, which I read half of by next Thursday. Then we have these 2 books by Evelyn Waugh, one a satire and the other a black humor. We have an in-class essay over those on like the last day of school. I actually hope to finish those books, but I just started yesterday. I haven't finished a book (minus Lord of the Rings) in 2 years. Kinda sad.

The end of the school year is always kind of bittersweet, but I think it will be even more so this year since I probably won't ever see my friends again. I will probably take my camera to school on the last few days, and if I'm brave enough, take pictures of the girls I like, and anything else.

Let's see...it's been a while since I've written in here. I got my driver's license about a month ago, and driving has really been fun. The first time I was in the car all by myself I felt really weird, but I soon got used to it. I have to take my brother to school everyday, and he's being...let's just say "difficult" in the past month or so. Sometimes I've driven to school alone because he has refused to get out of bed.

I've been wardriving with my friends on the weekends here and there. It's been really fun, and we've been able to get on to quite a few wireless networks and get on the Internet. I hope to get a laptop for my graduation present, and I'll get a wireless card, install Linux, and then I can go wardriving with my own equipment.

One of my best friends is into Ham radio, and he thinks I should do it as well. I think it looks cool and I might try to read up on it this summer and possibly take the test. He takes his radio wherever he goes. When we went wardriving he had it with him and we could listen to the police channel - kinda cool :).
