In high school, there’s one major paper or project that you have to write every year. These are referred to as the “Sophomore Theme” or “Junior Theme” or “Senior Theme” depending on what grade you are currently attending. I am a sophomore this year, in other words, a 10th grade. Instead of worrying about my … Continue reading What I Learned
Getting things organized and in place is a very stressful thing to do, I’ve realized, especially around the middle of the school year. Usually, around this time, the first semester ends, so the dreadful semester exams come flying. A week after winter break, I’ve already got at least one exam lined up in every single … Continue reading How To Get Organized

It seems like yesterday when the school bell rang, “Free at last! Free at last!”, but believe it or not school starts in exactly three weeks. Well, for me it does. For someone else it might be two and to another, four. Whatever the number of weeks till school, the countdown has definitely begun. From back-to-school … Continue reading August 2nd – August 8th
Excerpts from my next novel, modified to fit my life: It’s not a wonder that you wish for things that aren’t in your periphery. A vision of sorts is always on the back of your mind, a better life, the grass that is truly greener on the other side. Your face looks better on Megan … Continue reading Living With The Past

If you’re reading this, you or someone in your family probably has one (if not all) of the three, don’t they? Since the release of the iPod in 2001, almost 300,000,000 iPods have been sold. How big is that? Well, … Continue reading Week of June 28 – July 5
What have you been watching for this last week? What will you watch for the next month. Here’s my guess: it rhymes with Corld Wup. Well, you’re not the only one.

There’s only one word running through the mind of millions of kids right now: S.U.M.M.E.R. The school year is over. Whether you’re about to be the top dog or the fresh fish, new experiences await. Some people are proud of what they’ve been able to accomplish this year. Others are not. Around my own school, … Continue reading First Week of June
I stared at the blank mass of html gone crazy. Well, a blank mass of nothing on the computer screen, anyways. How long had I stared at that thing? It kind of disgusted me now. Like how forty dollars worth of a single fish looks nasty after sitting in the refrigerator for over a week. … Continue reading Week of May 2-8

I completely apologize for not posting last week. I had this blog written and ready two day earlier, ready to post on Monday morning. Sunday night I was up half the night coughing and couldn’t even wake up to go to school. I did manage to attend school after an hour or so, and after … Continue reading Third Week of March
It’s that time of year again. The time when God can’t decide whether Texas should get cold weather or hot weather. So, instead of basking in the sun like people in Los Angeles or shoveling snow from the driveway like Boston, Texans are stuck at home with fevers, coughs, seasonal allergies, and runny noses. Well, … Continue reading Fifth Week of February, First Week of March
Woo! If you saw my desk right now…wait! You couldn’t see my desk right now because it is stacked with about three feet of homework. This would have to be my best reason for not delivering a blog for two weeks. I really would like to apologize, but I think if you’ve ever been to high … Continue reading 2nd Week of February
When you came into this world, you were innocent. A small bundle of joy, carried around with precious care. When you coughed, a thousand hearts would stop with fear. When you smiled, they pumped right back into reality. Through the years, you slowly left your mother and your father; ventured out into your own life, … Continue reading Fourth Week of January
My, oh, my! Third week of January already? By this time, half the people who had resolutions have probably decided it’s too hard to proclaim and quit, while the other half have accomplished whatever it was they planned to do in “twenty-ten”. If you guys don’t know yet, I published my first novel, Mortals: Hayden … Continue reading Third Week of January

Let’s … Continue reading Fifth Week of December, First Week of January
You know the holiday when you slab red tika on your forehead or the one where you throw water balloons at your friends (and enemies, of course!)? Why exactly do Nepali women fast for three days? Who are the Gods and Goddesses of wealth and prosperity that we give a special holiday to? The four … Continue reading Fourth Week of December
Since Christmas season is so near, I thought I would amaze you guys with a little trick up my sleeve. Heard of the quote “Seeing is Believing”?
