Well, this if the first post of my blog. I am going to start writing here regularly as a way to express my thoughts, and even to think new ones as I write. My literature teacher prompted this new step. We'll see how it works.
I want to figure out how to design a custom template. I'm not bad at HTML, so hopefully I can create something unique.
Lastly, I think I better explain the title of this blog. For those of you who think I don't know how to spell, it's intentional. I go to Petra Academy, a rigorous Classical Christian school. About a year ago the students started referring to themselves as "Petrafied" because of the difficult coursework that sets us about from other high schoolers. I used the joke in my student testimonial at our annual fundraiser banquet and the moniker has stuck.
Anyway, that's enough for now.
The epiphanies, rants, wonderings, and events in the life of a former student of Petra Academy, now at Caltech.

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win" - JFK
