My favorite parts of 1st year...

The inside jokes that I shared with Kevin and Kyle, such as the Q wars (don't ask) and all the teachers we criticized and caricatured during that period, because we didn't like them or they gave us a lot of homework. I remember all the secret relationships that I had (usually one-way affection, none of which I will mention here) and the idiocy of some of the things I'd done.

My favorite parts of 2nd year...

Working on the Croquet Virtual World. Kevin Xie, Kyle McKinney, and I were commissioned to make a virtual world for Mr. Wilkoff. We would recruit people who had experience with computers and programming, and it turned out that all we ever did was stay in at lunch, download the program onto the computers, and screw around with the application until we got bored with it.

Working on my Graphic Design Team. It wasn't a project that I was commissioned to do, but Kevin Xie and I had an idea to create a virtual reality role-playing game sometime in our lives. So, therefore, we needed to design monsters and worlds. I vied for this position, and put together a team of people who, could either draw, had good ideas, or both. I would organize meetings in Mr. Wilkoff's room every week or so, none of which were very productive, and plus enduring a great many amount of snide comments from the other roomgoers.

With apologies to Geordy, watching his relationship with Hannah (who I'd had a crush on in 7th grade) develop. It might have ticked me off, if I had not given up on that a year and a half ago.
