A Life Full of Experiences

  • Birth

    Birth
    This is the day my adventure began. I don't remember any details of this event, but it is by far the most important event of my life. My parents tell me I was born with hair, and I was an unusually quiet, paitent baby.
  • Period: to

    Prehistory

    This was when I was still learning how to talk, read, write, do math, walk, use proper table manners... and the like.
  • Period: to

    History

    This is the rest of my life, I documented a number of events in this period, rather then the previous documentation of my prehistory by my parents. My current status is a programmer/computer technician, as a martial artist, polygot, soccer and tennis player, swimmer, rower, sleeper, eater, friendly, quiet person, who is currently going to Garza.
  • Little Brother Born

    Little Brother Born
    This is the date my little brother was born. My parents let me cut his umbilical cord. He is the one person who is able to get on my nerves. He's also one of the most entertaining individuals in my life.
  • Started Elementary School

    Started Elementary School
    This is the date I started Kindergarten at Zilker Elementary. I had previous school experience from Austin Montessori, and from a home run school program. My Kindergarten teacher ended up also being my 4th grade teacher, which was a pleasant surprise.
  • Dog Died

    Dog Died
    My beautiful friend Soli, a greyhound, died on this date at a ripe age of 12. She had spent the last two years of her life just lazing around on our couch, something I could completely relate to. She was originally a racing dog, but when she grew too old for the races she was going to be put down. My family rescued her, and had a wonderful tiem in her presence. She is always missed.
  • Started Middle School

    Started Middle School
    I went to Fulmore Magnet for middle school. It was very intimidating when I shadowed, and going there was an interesting experience. I made a number of good friends, and had a few good teachers.
  • Olive Aquired!

    Olive Aquired!
    Our neighbors across the street rescued another poor, dying dog, but they had no time to take care of it. We volunteered to be it's family, and it warmed up to our hearts immediately. It's... a mix of dogs, it has short legs, a long body, is soft, cuddly, tolerant, and always playful. We decided to name her Olive Branch
  • Started LASA Highschool

    Started LASA Highschool
    LASA was an interesting time period for me.
    I enrolled because it was the best school situated to my interests. They had excellent programs in both areas, and I feel I got a huge amount out of my classes there. Unfortunately, the flood of work, and everyday stress was too much for me, and I decided I must go.
  • Trip To Japan

    Trip To Japan
    I traveled to Narita, Tokyo, Japan and stayed for a week with a Japanese host family in Noda, Chiba, Japan. I then spent the remaining week traveling around the general Tokyo area.
  • Started Work at the PC Guru

    Started Work at the PC Guru
    I'm working at the PC Guru part-time now. I'm not a computer wizard yet, more of an apprentice, but I'm well on my way. The place is a mess of computer parts, it took a lot of work to clean it up and get it organized.
  • First Day at Garza

    First Day at Garza
    Finally, I'm free from the horrors of my previous highschool.
    Here everyone is friendly, the classes seem easy yet interesting.
    As strange as it may sound, I'm actually excited to get started on my coursework!
