Yeesh, it's been like forever
Well, school started a couple weeks ago. My AP psych, AP calc, AP physics, and french teachers are teachers I've had in the past for other subjects, great teeachers, but I already knew I would have them. My AP stats teacher, from what I've heard, isn't that great, but I've yet to have a problem with her. My econ and english teachers were the only ones I didn't know about before the year began, but they both seem to be good enough teachers.
At my school, we have
Well, I'm back from the medical thing, which I really enjoyed.
We got to go to a hospital and a med school and did a bunch of other medical stuff. We practiced suturing on bananas, which I failed at. I think I can eliminate "surgeon" from any possible career choices.
In other news, my new computer arrived while I was away. It's pretty intense. My old one died during a freak power outage (middle of the day, no wind, no bad weather at all). The new one is going to be much better, and I'll be
Unfortunately, somehow, I only got a 94 on the physics regents. Don't know how that happened, considering that I put more effort into that than anything else this year. I certainly had the knowledge, I probably just made a bunch of stupid little mistakes. Physics is the type of course where that can happen a lot.
Oh well. I got a 92 on my english regents, which I'm happy with.
My math teacher assigns (not assigned, I'll have him next year for calc) homework almost every day, but rarely che
Holy cow, it's been forever since I posted!
Well, since march, I:
-Took the SATs (got a 1510/1600 [or 2150/2400])
-Took AP US and Bio (still waiting for my results
-Got crisis core (great game), the world ends with you (another great game), and FFCC: my life as a king (started off good, got kind of boring)
-Failed at my AP bio final project. I don't mean I failed it, I mean it didn't work at all. Not in the "my results don't support the hypothesis" way, but the "my data isn't worth jack" wa
Well, last Sunday I got Brawl, at a midnight release.
During school weeks, we never get enough snow for a snow day. I have a theory that the only way we can get off of school is if we absolutely do not expect it. Anyways, in keeping with Murphy's Law (anything that can go wrong will go wrong), we got probably more snow the weekend Brawl comes out than the rest of winter added together. I almost wasn't able to get Brawl at the midnight release.
Anyways, I love it. The graphics are way better
The release date for spore is set at Sept. 7, 2008!
It looks like one of the best games ever. Why? I'm a customizaholic (yes, that's a real word, as of 3 seconds ago).
You can customize pretty much everything in the game. Your creature, eventual buildings and vehicles, spaceships, and even planets. Yes, even planets.
Frankly, I'm looking forward to it almost as much, if not more than, Brawl.
I was just looking at my join date and realized that Saturday was 4 years since my join day. I was camping, so I wouldn't have noticed anyways.
Also, I think I just defeated Makuta.
Missed 2 milestones, oh well
That's not entirely fair to say, I guess, I'm also looking forward to Endless Ocean and Okami (for Wii)
Brawl - Looks INCREDIBLE. Only 4 weeks away now, and it won't be delayed any more, at least not more than a week or two at most.

Well, I must say that I'm disappoint
Well, even though I'm only halfway through the year, I have to start working on my AP Bio final project. Because we don't get the AP exam results until July, we need something else for our final exam grade.
Anyways, I bet you're wondering about the title. Well, with my remarkable creativity and limitless mind power, I was only able to come up with one good idea. Attempting to condition butterflies to choose dark food sources over bright ones.
Oh well, the amount of money that I'm spending on i
I just finished the His Dark Materials trilogy.
Wow.
It was amazing.
Also very sad.
It's hard to describe my feelings right now.
Happiness that it was such a good series, but also sadness about the sad ending.
So much left open, but some small hints at hope for a possible good ending, far in the future past the end of the trilogy.
It has affected me profoundly, and I imagine it will leave me feel kind of down for a few more days.
Wow, the last post was over 2 months ago? Yeesh.
2 things: I saw the golden compass, it kinda was horrible.
As a movie, it wasn't too bad.
In relation to the book, ...Blech
2nd, I got Antroz and Vamprah.
I love Antroz's wings and mask
Vamprah is definitely my favorite phantoka. He looks sooo much like a bat. It's wonderful. My only mild dislike is his legs.
Wow, this blog has seen a lot of neglect.
As for my "Valkren discovery" section, I may eventually get to updating it. Unfortunately, I'm hopelessly lazy, and I never quite put forth the effort to scan my drawings or write stuff.
As for my Junior Year of High School...
Makes me happy:
-AP Bio
-Physics
-Precalc
-College French
-AP US
-All of my teachers. My AP Bio teacher and French teacher aren't amazing, but they're okay.
-Electives for gym (Every unit, you get to pick one of 4 cho
Well, I got Hydraxon (today) and Maxilos & Spinax (About 10 days ago).
I really like them.
Maxilos has an okay color scheme, but the best thing about his color is that he has Mata red, which is awesome!
He may well be one of the best sets yet.
Spinax is pretty sweet two, and can have great poses
Pros:
-Well built
-Incredible torso design
-Lots of articulation
-Great MOCing pieces
-Trans-red connectors (gotta love 'em!)
-Mata red
-Spinax
Cons:
-Unstable (single ball-joint
No, that's not a typo
I just got back from Alaska today, after being there since last Saturday.
I flew up to Anchorage, stayed a few days, went up to Fairbanks for a couple days, and came back down to Anchorage for a couple more days.
Denali is a National park, for all of you who were unaware.
I didn't see too many moose up there, only 5. One of the coolest things was stuff involving the huskies, the sled dogs. One of the things I did there had a demonstration of how dogs are hook
Animal Crossing is not quite as innocent as initially meets the eye
The town is not as it seems. Why is it cradled in a perfectly square canyon? Why does a river run directly through it? Why is there only one natural type of fruit? Why do all the trees look the same? Why do so many incompatible creatures live together in the same ecosystem? Why do sharks swim so close to shore? Is it to prevent citizens from attempting to escape? Why is your home carefully monitored, every Sunday? Why is the

1) I finished Playing Okami, and it was great. I must say, it was a lot like Zelda games.

First of all, I saw Evan Almighty. Not quite as good as Bruce Almighty, but still good. Morgan Freeman does a great job as God.
However, the title has another meaning. When Evan was expecting a flood, it did not seem to be coming. Just like how I expected a flood of updates and drawings in my Valkren Discovery section, up until I learned that my printer/scanner isn't compatible with Vista. I'll try to get it hooked up to my mom's computer though.
I am completely done with school this year!
All my exams are taken care of.
I only got a 87 on my Global exam, but a 100 on my French exam!
The Bio and Chem exams yesterday were pretty easy. For some reason, I had a dream that I only got a 76 on my Bio exam. I was horrified. Then I woke up and was relieved.
I still have a bit of work to do on my first AP US pre-course assignment, due tomorrow or next Friday, I'll probably get it done tonight and hand it in tomorrow. I don't know If I
I was wondering something.
In X-Men, Adamantium is supposed to be indestructible.
The Juggernaut is supposed to be able to break through anything if he gets momentum.
If he got momentum, and collided with a wall of adamantium, would he go through, would the wall stop him, or would the universe be destroyed from the horrible paradox?
My iPod finally died. Pretty much completely. The only way I can get it to work is to plug it into my mom's speaker/charger. The second I unplug it, it goes co
Yay, It's almost completely summer vacation!
My hardest exams are over.
Math is/was hardest. I had that yesterday. Any words I could use to describe my math teacher would not be allowed on a kid-friendly site. Fortunately, the most trouble I had was with completing the square. I had forgotten how to do it, but I eventually remembered.
Today, I had Global. Not that hard, but I had 2 essays.
Friday, I have french. Should be really easy. I already got a 24/24 on my speaking task.
Nex
Man, where is that update to the Valkren Discovery section I promised you guys? It's been kinda busy, but tomorrow is my last day of school (and math, global, french, bio, and chem exams I have to come in for). I promise that I'll get stuff up as soon as I can.

Played Mario Party 8 a few days a go...
Ugh... that Series is going downhill
Cons:
They seem to run out of Ideas for Items (I guess they can't reuse them), so instead of having the items be capsules or orbs or anything, they're candy.
Instead of the 2/3 dice items being mushroom/super mushroom, They are Twice candy/Thrice candy (It rhymes with dice, woohoo). No mushrooms FTL.
Fewer minigames. Need I say more?
Desperate for gimmicks. Blooper (the squid) and hammer brothers as playable char
On Friday, I saw PotC:AWE
I thought it was pretty great, contrary to what the newspaper said (you know it's a bad (quality) review when they complain that there is too much CG.
Some of my favorite parts:

Only a few weeks left of school! Yay!
PotC:AWE on friday!
I'm probably gonna update the "Valkren Discovery" section a lot more soon, I have like 30 pages of drawings.
