So, like said quite a few times in this blog, school's started up as of three weeks ago (The day I got back from BFair) and so far I enjoy the teachers I have. None of them hate my guts, and a few of them liked me from the get-go due to positive comments I got from teachers I had last year.
But outside of schoolwork (Which is, at the moment, doing some notes, some French stuff and making some picture for English, and three articles to write for Newspaper), I've been doing some other things.
So we did our first little assignment thing, which was to make a large picture telling the story of our partner (Who basically told me what they did over the summer). The catch was to make the story one huge piece of art, based off of pre-historic cave drawings, and not a series of symbols that could be read (Such as Egyptian hieroglyphics).
We first sketched out the series of symbols we wanted to use, and then we sketched out what the overall picture would look like. After that, we got charc
One is not enough.
But there was only one in the AT-AT set. I must find some more of these neat lil' guys. (Which isn't hard but finding them in bulk for cheapish is hard)
(I also embarrassed myself by calling it the "AT&T" << >>)
Yes, that is an exclamation mark.
So for school this year, which just started for me on Tuesday actually (I thought it was Monday, but that turned out to be for 9th graders and some Juniors there helping them out), I have seven classes;
- English II Honors
- Geometry (I should've been in Algebra II, but I'm not very good at math << >>)
- U.S History (First half this semester -- would have gone for AP Human Geography, but the workload from that class would have been too much
BrickFair was amazing this year, special thanks to Janus for the orange Vahi and Arpy for the metallic blue Toa Mata feet! (You guys are amazing)
There's probably nothing more I can possibly say that hasn't been said elsewhere, but the entire event was just spectacular. Even for a while after BrickFair ended things were amazing.
Everyone was just so fantastic, and with my memory I'll never be able to name everyone there of BZP, but Nuju Metru posted quite a good list of everyone!
I'd
I probably won't be doing any, unless I happen to fall asleep on the plane (Which I'm unsure about as, at the moment, I don't feel tired and have packed a few books I want to read on the flight -- I also have a bunch of other things to distract myself from boredom). I guess an energy drink, some food, and excitement are all things that get rid of feeling tired -- that and a nice shower.
But, if I have the correct information, I should be at Dulles Airport around 2PM~ (Plane stops in Minneap
I figured out how Microsoft Word 2007 works~
Well, how it works to the point where I can meet all the schoolwork guidelines and not have to do it the painfully hard way.
Only took me a few years...
(I also stuck a pic of Alucard in this blog because he's cool)
I don't know why I feel like blogging this, but I am.
So I learned that walking around, upstairs and in the dark, is a very, very, very bad idea for me. I'm not a very graceful person on my feet, and I tend to smack my foot into things like walls and doors a -lot-. Basically, I was walking near the stairs that lead downstairs, made a turn to go down them and smacked my foot on the side of the staircase. I ended up falling down the stairs, very noisily, and wound up on my back on the floor.
So, on Tuesday when I was conveniently not home and was busy at a location 30 minutes away, there was an owl outside that was looking around. However, my sister took some pictures of it (lots of them being very blurry), but I hunted down one of the pictures that is really clear (To me at least).
So yeah, here's the picture of the owl.
I am amazingly excited for BFair (Last year was a blast, and I didn't even do that much), I just hope I can get everything I need to get done before the event. Lot of it is physical paperwork and notifying some people (Need to notify the head of the School Newspaper Staff Administrator that I can't make the staff meeting on the Seventh...). Some of the paperwork is just me needing to finish my school reading projects (Need to get some things drawn out and the blasted printer working ><), w
I just realized a bunch of tests I have to take are all online. From grade/rank tests, to the test needed to get my driver's permit (Which I totally could've gotten seven months ago), to a ton of the school tests for next year.
Of course, out of all of those, I'm primarily looking forwards to doing all of the driving tests. I'd like to get them out of the way ASAP so I can get my driver's permit and then, in a year, I'll have a full license. It won't be any issue to get that, either, as my m
I feel really excited for it, given, it's right around the corner at this point (And not like... four months away anymore). Still need to make some MOC's for it (A crab, and finishing that one thing I've had legless/armless for the last year).
It'll be fun~
It was a great movie =)
Also -- Final Fantasy XIII, I bought it and it's sooo much fun. (I spent Gamestop store credit on it, not real cash... and got five bucks in real cash back, oddly enough... even though the store here was twenty bucks more expensive than what Blockbuster was selling it for).
I also just figured out what this trailer I watched back in 2007 was about... and the game's not even out yet, funnily enough. (FFXIII Versus is what the trailer was of, I thought it was just a K
Some people will throw a fit over the silliest things. Even though, in some cases, I can see where they are coming from, but it's just a bit extreme even then to yell/complain and call other people names over something so little. (Talking about a hobby, thus the "little" portion as I don't really view luxuries as "priorities" thus they being "small").
I guess I blog this as it's a twenty year-old something or other throwing the fit and a twelve year old was able to voice his concerns in a fa
I am this close to stabbing a pencil through my head.
For the last week I had an idea, a first in a while (And not related to a currently unfinished epic, which may remain unfinished until I really get back into the swing of things), but I constantly had the issue of how to write it out. Cinematically (aka: Visual images playing out in my mind... FF says it's not a word, but I don't care) everything always looks so neat and it makes me interested.
Then I write it, and it sounds dumb and
- Finished;
Math Final (Math final averaged grade: B+ --- I'm terrible, absolutely horrible, at Math.)
English Final (Got a 96% on it) average final: A.
3D Animation Final, Final Grade: A+.
French Final (Dunno any numbers) -- Received a certificate and chocolate of "Highest Average in the Class"
PE Final (Ran a mile, walked a mile) -- Was told that I probably improved the most of everyone else present.
- Tomorrow;
Biology Final
Ancient Civilizations Final (If I fail this one, or g
I have straight A's as of today, except for one 89 average in Biology... which will hopefully turn into an A after the test~
Plus, my essay apparently made it to semi-finaldom (Finalists got shirts, certificates and presented at the Spirit Assembly a while back, Semi-Finalists get certificates ).
What's funny is that I seriously just rushed that paper, like... I wrote it in less than an hour, the night before it was due... << >>
But I feel smart anyways. :3
