First day

Today was the first day of school. The last first day of High School.
Next year, I’ll be in college (or university… whatever its proper name is). dum dum dum.

It’s a scary thought. What if I’m not prepared D:. That’s the big one that’s been on my mind.
However, before I can eve think of any of that, I have to first survive senior year and even before that, college applications. So I want to major in Computer Science, and hopefully in the future a major recession that make burden out of all the comp. fields will overlap with when I graduate with a bachelors, or masters degree (if i do go for masters). *Sigh*. It always seems like the computer fields get heavily attacked by the evil economical downturns. Everytime I tell my friends I want to major in Computer Science and become a Network Secuirty person (forget the name of the job title… good job to me -_____-), they always tell me … oh don’t IT ppl get laid off easily. -___-. It seems like everyone associates IT with lay off. And maybe that’s the reality. However I seem to like the field, and my liking keeps on growing. I used to want to do pharmacy but I am not a science person. There maybe some science in the comp sci major, I am not sure, however pharmacy is definitely more science based.  I don’t need to suffer through 7 years of concentrated chemistry/biology courses D:. I suffered through AP Chem already last year. Its definately because I didn’t understand science. I would work really hard for that class but nothing went through my anti-science brain.
So bottom line before I digress as usual, I am not going to let layoffs scare me about my future. It’s not like all the other jobs are 100% stable. I just have to keep on moving forward :p. forward. forward. and work hard as a do… definitely
Anyways first day. First day was fine but awkward in terms of schedule as compared to the first days of previous years (but not by that much).  I guess it had to do with Rosh Hassanah overlapping with first week of school. Usually the day we recieve our program cards is different from that of the first day of classes. But this year both are on the same day, today. So basically we, seniors (and juniors) had to get get to school 8:30 for reports cards and then go back to school around 10:15 and attend our fourth pd class. The periods were cut short to 30 minutes and I believe the last class was 9th (usually  its 10th). I end at 7th so I get out earlier (today at 12:30 and from now onwards, 1:30ish?).
So my classes this year:
AP Comp Sci (java), Accelerated German, Tennis, Government, English, AP Calculus BC (this one seems scary lolol)
Hopefully I’ll survive. Everything about this year seems so stressful. I just have to keep focus. So far, I’ve been keeping a habit of going to the library often and doing my study time there. It seems to be working because over at home, I can’t get anything done on time or enough done. At the library, it’s really quiet and I’m far away from distractions unless if I decide to resort the computer and go do pointless browsing the internet (but I don’t feel like going through the whole process of signing up for  a session and waiting you know :p).
Anyways I want to get off the school subject for now. I don’t want it to dominate the post and the rest of my enteries. I need to talk about some interesting topics for once even if it means nitpicking for them. Well I’ve recently been into online t-shirt business.  It seems really fun and a seemingly easy way to start a first business. Johnny Durham from Youtube got me into this (i dont know him in person :p but he talked about it in his videos).
His site: http://johnnydurham.bigcartel.com/ <- for his shirts
I like how cute his shirts are even if they are simplistic and not so much out of the ordinary. But that’s okay, it’s not like  they are cockroach ugly that makes me want to avoid them as much as possible. They are cute :D (as said before).
It’d be cool to start one I went to college. If I did, my roommates would probably be pissed :p but I’ll see how that goes. Obviously if I want to start one, I need a good theme. That’s probably what will attract customers the most. I always like the idea of doing cute ts of the Buddha (or even the laughing one) or some Hindu gods/goddess. I’m not super religious but I admire those figures from the appearance. It’s so I dunno. Of course I admire the Buddha for his philosophy and the Hinduism (can’t really say Hindu deities) for its but I’m talking about t-shirts here. However if I want cute and Hindu related stuff on it, I have to avoid copying this one: http://gheehappy.com/
They don’t do shirts much really but I don’t want to make my stuff look like theirs. damnit LOL I really like their concept. But other than them, I haven’t really seen and cute portrayal of Hinduism or Buddhism. :p in shirt form.
Well yes now the design. The really why I like this tshirt business idea is because it’ll help me keep focus on what stuff to design on photoshop. I usually use Photoshop for fun and it ends up beign pointless. I want to get my vectoring skill (what skills?) together and put it into use. Maybe this will help. So yeah once again.. the design. I’d have to think of a nice design… maybe some randomly doodling on my binder will help?
Well that’s all I have for the shirt related stuff. Now I feel like taking about my future stuff again (the whole shirt idea falls into that category actually).  I want to move to Singapore when I get older :D. Seriously. I just love how clean that place is. I don’t think I’ll have that much of a problem coping with their harsh rules … well the gum one as of now. But I can certainly get rid of that one. It’s not like they ban masala dosa or anything :p. Speaking of masala dosa, they  have a place called Little India :D concentrated with Tamil people horray. (tamil ppl make up most of Singapore’s indian population; even some of the gov’s board members are tamil). I always loved tamil food, songs… and maybe their culture altogether … but I don’t know. I do love their language. I’m of Kerala decent (malayali ppl place) but we do have some similarities going on since Tamil Nadu is our next door neighbor. Its not just about the Tamil people that intrigues me the most about Little India, :p. It’s the color. The stores. The culture!. The place has culture. There’s a Little India in Jackson Heights here in NYC but I can’t really feel the culture except from the abundance of desi people and stores. Well instead of going on about that Little India of Singapore… here are some picts :p.
I did not post these or photograph these btw.
