Merry Christmas!

Well, there are five days until Christmas... and everything in Riven is done in fives...

I posted this image exactly one year ago, and am going to make a tradition of it. I was going to try to improve the image this year, but time got short. So, anyway, have a Very Merry Christmas everyone!

Interims today!

I got my interim report today, doing much better than I was at the end of 1st quarter. My grades are as follows:

Italian 1 H: C

English 1 H: 85=B

World History H: 87=B+

Biology 1 H: 68=D

Algebra II: 99=A+

Intro to Career Dev.: "Passing"

Health Ed.: "Passing"

My Italian grade is really a B, but my teacher gave me a 0 on a quiz I was absent for yesterday... it stays a 0 until I make it up. A bit silly, really, but oh well. The Biology grade is shitty because I split my time in that class between not being able to hear the teacher, and wondering what the hell is going on. Oh, well, probably leaving the Honors track in Science anyhow. I didn't get numbers or letters for Health or Car. Dev., I was merely informed that I was "passing", as opposed to being "borderline" or "failing". I'm pretty sure I have A's in both classes, though. So, all around, a good interim report.

Leet speak

Parent panic taken too far-now 1337$|o33|< is a secret language used by hackers and online gamers, and now YOUR TEEN IS USING IT TO KEEP SECRETS FROM YOU. They make the symbols and number represent letters, and ARRANGE THESE SYMBOLS AND NUMBERS TO LOOK LIKE THE LETTER THEY REPRESENT. SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

MUST... HELP.... YEEEESHAAAAAAHHH!

Which Myst Character are You?

You are Achenar. Your greatest asset is your strength. You tend to rely too much on what you can accomplish with brute force rather than finesse. Your love of fighting turns you savage on occasion, and drives you to horrible extremes.

Thank God for Politicians

Yeah, I bet you never thought I'd say that seriously, did you?

And why do I say it? Because I get election day off from school.W007! A nice day off to ... do homework. Oh, well. I'll get plenty of time today to do what I wish. Eventually.

Moving on... not much to say, except I REALLY CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY REOPEN THE CAVERN! It's going to be great. I won't be able to get down right away, but I will be down there within a month of the cavern opening. Finally! The chance to actually meet some of the fellow explorers I have been talking to online!

Well, I guess that's all for now, until later, shorah!

About the last post, and other things...

Yeah, I had a long project due, which I had put off for a long while... I was a bit stressed (understatement). Luckily, I got that pile of shit out of my way, and it's on to the next pile! I have a six-to-eight page essay due in two weeks, on cystic fibrosis, which is just a horrible topic any way you look at it: not happy, not amusing, not joyful, not interesting... yeah.

Well, life goes on... I've been getting back into gaming, as I said a couple posts ago, and have been playing some HomeWorld and StarCraft: The Brood War lately. Unfortunately, I cannot find my AoK disc-I have been searching for months. It's just gone. So I will be ordering the AoK Gold Edition sometime in the next couple of weeks-need to get some money together first.

Speaking of lost discs, I have someones BattleFront discs sitting here on my desk, their either T'layeh's or NBuick's, guys, I need to get these back to their rightful owner.

I guess that's all for now, until next time, good night, and good luck.

I HATE REPORTS

ESPECIALLY USELESS ONES THAT ARE MUCH HARDER THAN NECESSARY.

Sooooooooo long without updating

Damn. First update in a looong while. School has been hell, as always. I'm actually passing some classes this year, as contrasted to last year, when my highest grade in an academic class was a D. When I got my interims a while back, my grades ranged from a 77 (C+, in Science) to a 93 (A-, in Math). I have a mixed bag of classes and teachers this year: I like my English teacher, and my Math and Career Dev. teachers, and my World History teacher just plain PWNS. I have a horrible Science teacher, however. Which sucks, since with the right teacher, I can enjoy Science. So, yeah, not enjoying Science this year. I am enjoying Math, however, and am doing much better than I did last year. I found out yesterday that I have a 95 average in that class. Probably my highest grade since 6th grade. Granted, I am taking the exact same course that I did last year... but oh well. My World History class is beyond awesome, I had a 92 average at interims, and I am really enjoying the class. I can't say I'm really enjoying my English class, but at least I am doing well. My Italian 2 class isn't bad. And Bio is just horrible. It's aweful. I hate my teacher. He is uber-confusing. He makes no sense, even when you can hear what the man is saying. Uhggh. As for my other two classes: Intro to Career Dev. is a joke, no work ever gets done. Good period for doing homework, though. And P.E. is moderatly fun, when the jocks don't take control of the class. In other words, it sucks, too.

I'm not getting as much homework as I did last year, thankfully. I don't have any teachers who take pleasure in assigning behemoth assignments to be done in one night, as my Alg. 2 teacher did last year. I have a few projects, though: so far, I have done one on a potential future career as a Computer Programmer, for Business, a project on an idol, also for business: I did H. P. Lovecraft. Just last night, I completed a Science project on the Grassland Biome, possilby the most boring topic on the Planet Earth. I also have an English project on The Grapes of Wrath due next week, and a massive essay on Cistic Fibrosis due for Science towards the end of the month; I have even started that thing yet. I think it has to be a minimum of 6 pages of writing, Times New Roman 12. Double spaced, thankfully. I think that's it for projects, but I know I have a big one on Ancient Greece coming up, and NO INTERNET SOURCES ALLOWED. Uhghh.

I have some more time this year for extra-work activities. I have joined the Italian Club, which is quite fun-I have also been elected treasurer of that club. I have been semi-active gaming, as well-not as much, lately, but I did play through Half-Life recently, excellant game. I shall be starting the expansion packs pretty soon here. I have also found my Homeworld disc, I will probably restart that pretty soon here as well. I've also been writing a couple short stories recently, I might post them here when I get the wrinkles ironed out.

Ah, well, that's all for now. Good night, and good luck.
