The World of Stuff is 3

Three years ago today, The World of Stuff went live. It’s hard to believe that it’s been that long since I put my random web pages on a common site and used the main page to keep track of updates. Originally, The World of Stuff was nothing in itself. Now the blog is the major focus of the site, and, as I’ve hoped, it’s kept some people — however few — coming back. So thank you, readers old and new, for your loyalty. I look forward to informing and entertaining you in the future.

Today Ms. Vazquez was present for the dedication of the globe in the library. There were a few assistant principals there, along with a few old alumni, but it was nothing formal. And unfortunately, Ms. Vazquez has to leave in a few days, so I won’t see her again because today was the last day of school before spring break. The break lasts all of next week, in addition to the Monday after that. How will I be spending my spring break, you ask? Well, I probably won’t be doing much, as usual. Since the AP European History exam is drawing ever closer (May 5), we have a tremendous review packet to read over the break. That should keep me busy for a while. At least it’s reading, though, and not writing or anything. When we get back to school, we’ll spend the rest of the class time reviewing things for the test. Then, after the test, I guess we’ll just relax.

Fly the Copter is a seemingly simple but actually quite challenging game. For me, anyway.

One year ago: “Now go out and celebrate! Buy a cake or something!”
Two years ago: “I mean, I’ve learned a little bit more about making web sites, and maybe my style, spelling, and grammar have improved a little too. But I doesn’t really know four sure.”
Three years ago: “Well, it only took me about 2 months and a lot of procrastination, but I did it.”
