week 13

wow hello!! it is 11pm and i've told myself that i must finish this before 1130 LOL bc i have to sleep (whoa) and idt i've actually fallen asleep before 12 for like three weeks at least now its SOO COOKEDD :(

anyways, it's been slightly over a month since i last posted which is kinda crazy cause HOW TIME FLIES!!!

like think about this last time i blogged, smh hasn't happened yet, f1 was still in autumn break, i submitted 0 applications... oh yeah on the note of applications:

1-college applications

so we've submitted 9 of them so far, all on EA/REA plans (understandably) although I believe i did not meet tamu's engineering EA ddl so i'm not going to get a decision by mid-dec. but oh well lmao

so uw's in like three days and i hope to finish all the essays tomorrow while giving them a day to rest and submitting on the 14th. its really cooked how i waited till like the last hour to submit my stanford application (peter was so worried :( ) but yeah ive started thinking about the ucs which is slay (but also like way too late but who cares now i have collegeapp burnout from 1nov lmao)

stanford interview tmrw. cooked !

2-competitive stem olympiads

so on 1nov i took like 40mins of time to do biobowl opens with my friends and we somehow qual'd for semis and eventually we finished top 8 lol and i contributed to like 1 tu and 2 bonuses which is tbh more than i thought (i also learned quite a bit of bio stock lmao shine dalgarno is my goat)

3/8 is my lucky number (chaos)

uhh ive also started to grind chem again yay i like learning stuff it is very cool

i also have harker phys invi this wkdn which im honestly expecting to cook me bc i havent studied physics at all since april lmao arjqeorhgryuwfiqej

3-f1

well well well quite the triple header and it only got better for us

i was like tweaking out when alpine blundered the p6 so hard in austin like i was boutta shoot myself :(

then i was in pain when kmag outqualified pierre by like 6 thousandths in mexico but it didnt matter either way bc haas had insane racepace

then in brazil... i dont know but it was magical. everything about that morning was magical

from waking up at 2am to watch quali and seeing pierre get cooked by yellow flags but esteban slaying and albon crashing

to squealing in my bed when lando and george fell behind as they boxxed and the sc was thrown (holy fuck the fia have been tweaking this triple header im SO GLAD wittich is gone bro)

and the pining as max overtook esteban and george tried so hard to get close to pierre

asdjofqeiogjhueu that race healed something in me i think

maybe its the long burnt bridge between pierre and esteban

maybe its an entire season of dread and little highs

maybe its a viceral release of emotion from a tortured soul after college apps...

oh what made it better was spurs' 4-1 win over villa but that's for section 5 lol

wait but like two millionaires in 800 kg machines driving on some concrete in rain had me so mentally attached idk it was very cool and interesting to see how euphoric i felt the entire day asjfqioejgqoteue

best of luck to esteban @ haas next yr :)

oh, drivers' market comments, you say?

bro they really should've announced perez' retirement at mexico broo like :( it was good timing. like please he either needs to clutch up or leave even i've been convinced now. lawson's been good enough (however cooked his personality is)

bortoleto was a nice signing tbh and i couldn't have realistically seen anyone else bc bottas + hulk just wouldn't work--why two experienced drivers?

also like. alpine should start using merc engines from 2025 lmao they'd be infinitely more competitive skull

4-other motorsports

uhh wec had its season finale where toyota somehow clinched the manufacturers' title??? i don't even know how porsche managed to troll their lead LMAOO um but yea porsche things !! and toyota things !!

next year hypercar will actually be an insane field and i really hope many f1 drivers who are out of their seats should like go to wec and like slay

ive also more and more looked to imsa and wec onboards for asmr like hello the caddy and the acura sound so good. bmw and toyota are decent too. alpine is nice as well but ew metachrome; tbh the only one that sounds weird is the ferrari bc the frickin high pitch makes me distracted LOL

formula e pre-season test happened. not much but i did learn that nio (now ert, oops now kiko) is using porsche power instead of nio which is cool. i still support ticktum but like yk i dont have the nationality connection to the team anymore and i really hope they can cook this year with a better pu !!

car seems fast. also pulling is genuinely good and probably deserves an f3 seat lol

indycar driver market, you say?

currently it's grosjean, veekay, daly, lundqvist that i feel like really deserve seats. maybe sowery/pourchaire ?? but i hope like another noncharter team joins lol quali will become SUPER funny in that case lmaoo

5-other sports

mostly soccer ig but yeah bro tottenham hotspur is literally so me like you can expect them to beat anyone or lose to anyone depending on the day so cooked ajfiqewrgjoifwfew

what happened to lankshear bro did not cook for long enough :(

and good for ipswich and palace but bruh..

if we'd won either one of those we'd have been 3rd lmao

2nd best goal diff in the league but a whopping 12 points off the lead? spursyy

mbappe has not been cooking in la liga unfortunately :(

hey i can probably consistently swimming 100 yds yay; with breaks it takes around like 2 min 15 s without its like 2 min 30 s

but also recently due to knee injury ive been using ymca's non swim facilities more and theyre honestly kinda cool like im thinking of maybe driving there directly afterschool every day and like treadmilling for like 15mins then going back home

oh seems like there's a ymca near crossroads not far from school heh maybe i go there

6-gaming

football manager:

after collegeapp season has begun i've decided that every saturday will be my fm day and ive been following that along reasonably well tbh. maybe bc i get fatigue from the game after a few consecutive hours LOLL

but yeah ive decided to adapt the world champion tactic to my team and am now doing reasonably in the league (still 7 points behind leader, around the same as before i switched the tactic; but we had like 2 really stupid losses and we have the best goal diff)

we got knocked outta the carabao cup before i could change the tactic which is sad and we just advanced to the 3rd round of the fa cup and shock horror are drawn against liverpool LMAO cooked

intl management: irish squad is decent but unspectacular but the tactic has been able to take them places they don't belong such as a win over spain!! so we retain our spot in nations league A yay over turkey

soccer manager:

so i actually also adapted the wc tactic to soccer manager (however difficult it may be) and i think it's actually working really well for us despite some small instruction changes due to the limitations of game mechanics

we're top of the league (albeit with a really good team) by 9 points and have a record of 13-0-3; we've conceded 5 goals across 16 matches, and we're undefeated across cups so far though we are drawn against rangers in the cup (probably more cooked than the liverpool draw)

i sold like 4 declining key players to get a lot of cash which hopefully can be put to good use in training facilities (im never expanding our stadium again bro still only like 1-2k people are watching despite the frickin 20k stadium)

intl management: idk whats wrong w intl management in the game but qatar seems to not be part of any continental cup?? im rly confused and i think i need to switch to a european country or literally any other country to see if it's just qatar trolling or if the entirety of intl management on sm is friendlies (psst that would be REALLY boring..like it already is)

warzone:

getting better at like the various ladder maps. also notably like ive won definitely more than half of my 1v1 ladder matches which is actually really cool to see my improvement yay

still crap at ror lol

idle is taking up too much of my time these days i cant be spending 15mins a day on idle ITS MEANT TO BE IDLE UGH

7-school stuffs/clubs

cooked for my chem and internship grade (im sure they'll get back up tho)

idk how i even got to chem b

maybe i will open a new section for internship after like this week lol bc im actually going to do technical stuff now yayy

qb happened and im still bad at stuff lol but oh well let's see what sb brings

chem club has been started slowly and we now have a first meeting date--november 21st!!! COME JOIN US IN MS. HOFF'S ROOM AT 1716 EVERY OTHER THURSDAYYY

8-scibowl

so its crazy to think i need to cover smh in this blog post bc wtf? i dont even remember it that well anymore help sob it was like almost 5 weeks agoooo

anyways it went swimmingly and i had the nerve the night before to look at my college essay and think, hmm why not bring the chicken joke in for some lunchtime fun? and holy fuck that was the correct target audience LMAOO i loved their jokes it was so cute and i am immensely happy about how most things turned out (Except for slight stats delays during the halftime show hmmmm)

tryouts have been going ok so far, nothing too standout except for the fact that the packets vary significantly in difficulty (ooooopss) and that they take a LONG time to go through (ooooooooooopss)

but yeah math makeups tmrw (or td ig) so ill hopefully lock in

cooked for bsb lmao help a month ago bsb was still on the cards

stanford sb will be difficult probably unfortunately :(

9-scioly

not much on this side; we did get our event assignments though and rip i didn't get astro :(

excited for mason + builds but also confused about where mason is supposed to happen and how im supposed to contribute to builds :( my partners are all like definitely not build-oriented ppl afaik

might join robotics [1899 specifically] as control systems engn. we'll see about that and if i do there'll def be a new section on this blog lmao

10-music

atw og is so goooddd (not the 10min one)

various instrumentals are also soooo good esp for workinggg

not much new stuff but i think like fortnight should win something at the grammys its so good

11-misc

this post i actually planned out (kinda) bc ive literally forgotten everything from a month ago so i read the last post and jotted down some notes and a basic structure of what i want this post to look like and holy shit a LOT has changed in a month broooo why is my senior year already 2.5/8.5 over? cooked :(

oh well hopefully this will continue as more of a habit and less of a I NEED TO FORCE MYSELF TO WRITE THIS SHIT OR ELSE IM GUNNA LOSE THIS (inexistent) HABIT thing lol

that made no sense probably

im done yapping byebyeeee :))

oh i just read the top of the page. um so my internet actually got cut from 1115-1140 and that time was spent hacking the password so im only done now at like 1210... cooked lol
