So I bought some books today, Flyboys (Currently on page 22), Forest Mage (Second book in the Soldier Son Trilogy), The Children of Hurin (Heard too many positive reviews of this book to pass it up)
So far, I find Flyboys to be an interesting book. Not one that has a happy atmosphere, but then again, such a tale would hardly warrant it. I picked it up because of the title, as well as the fact that it was a story from WWII I haven't heard previously and is roughly the first I'd have read in te
So I took up fencing recently, first class was today, and it's quite interesting as well as fun. The instructor stated that so far, I'm her best student.
Though, I won't be able to do it next week... 'cuz I got firearm training (class) Thursday for two hours and then the actual target-shooting on Saturday (four hours).
I have a lot to study.
Also, to individuals who may or may not need me in TBRPG's: I'm really busy with school/other learning/talking to the High School Administration to see if I can push for a program/preparing and getting ready for fencing while also doing some more physically demanding things to get in better shape... so don't expect me to be fast to respond to things. If it's a problem, send me a Personal Message.
On BZP, I have some time for it, but it's mostly reserved for Staff-
So I completely forgot to work on any of my Biology stuff last night, and it was all due today. But then crazy weather happened.
So I go to school, like normal, but right before my Biology class... school ends early and it's a mad rush to get a spot on one of the buses.
I was like "wow... I really lucked out here..."
Tornado Warning at school kicked the hour long aptitude test to Monday.
Aptitude test is for gauging whether you're good to go for a class that has College credit tied to it, which surprised me, cuz this class is Photoshop.
Oh, and my English teacher was commenting on how awesome the stuff I turned in was =3 (Got perfect marks on the five pages of summaries I turned in, on the GIP Vocab Test I took, and some extra credit I did to pass the time).
I'll be there, and I'm all signed up to go. You can easily pick out me from the attendee list, cuz like... well, it's rather obvious.
But yeah, I'm rather pumped for the more space, and also 'cuz I got a room in the now booked Holiday Inn~
This week, at my High School, was "Spirit Week" so a lot of interesting things ended up happening through the course of the week. From people dressing in odd things, to the band playing all over the place;
- Monday
On Monday, there wasn't much new. People came to school normally, as we weren't really told what the dress-theme was for the day, besides for the teachers who all dressed up to fit the theme that I can't remember. Monday was a very uneventful day of the week, being the most norm
Four days of no school stuff (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) which is really nice, 'cuz this means that I can get ahead in all the reading and studying I should do, while also being able to relax and have nothing to do. 'Cept on Tuesday, cuz Tuesdays are the days when my schedule is pretty much full from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM or later. (So, it's nice to not have school on a Tuesday, cuz then I can be a lazy last-minute-reading over things person).
So, as of yesterday, I'm a Semi-Official USCAP Cadet. The "Semi" part is more due to the fact that I don't have;
- An identification card
- The proper uniform sets (Planning to get them cheaply at the AFB Supply store, rather than ordering through the "official supplier" given how long it takes the supplier to ship things, as well as prices...)
- The "Starter" Kit of sorts, basically, a zip-up binder that contains a notebook, some texts, (the I.D card) and other basic essentials.
- I lac
My hand fell into a cactus, I pulled out all the obnoxious pins and needles, but my hand happens to still sting a fair bit. Nothing that's acute enough to the point where I can't close my hand or use it, it's just rather irritating.
I also dislike it when I send someone a question, and once they get my question, they don't log in for the next two days.... I might copy/paste it and ask someone who's more... around.
That was fun, too bad I couldn't take pictures of any of the aircraft or anything, but I expected that.
'Twas fun, and I'll be doing that again next Tuesday, and the Tuesday after.
Oh, and the Wing Commander was there, which surprised me a bit 'cuz he's like, everybody's boss.
It brings excitement, anxiety, and a bit of dread. (Dread more being that I have no idea what'll be assigned in school tomorrow... none of the teachers really update the calendar, so for all I know, someone could be all like "HUGE PROJECT" or "BOAT OF HOMEWORK" the latter being harder... cuz I'll have about two or three hours of free time ._.)
I'll start with the "Weird" part, 'cuz that falls right into the delay aspect. So, basically I ended up calling the Captain of the nearby USCAP squadron, at first the call went somewhere and to someone who said to call back later. Then, later, the line was disconnected and apparently wasn't reconnected in the next four hours. <__< Oh well, at least now I'll need to wait until Tuesday for my schedule to get mauled over to a change (Well, technically, about 15 days after Tuesday).
Though
My computer's been acting up recently, so if I'm not around later today (When I normally am) it's 'cuz of that. Just thought a quick mention would be appreciated somewhere.
EDIT: Problem's been solved.
I want to go hoooome
And play SS
And print off my esssaaayyy
And print off one of my stories 'cuz my English teacher wants to read one for some reassssoooon
And also to feel warm on this really cold, wet day.
So I saw Alice in Wonderland, and I gotta say, I loved it. Of course there are people who didn't, but I happen to just enjoy the style of it all, plus I did like some of the humor thrown in.
Mad Hatter and the Red Queen are probably my two favorite characters. The Mad Hatter, mainly because Johnny Depp just does an awesome job, and the Red Queen mainly because of the amount of times she yells "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!"
Also, Cheshire Cat is awesome.
For books, I bought a lot.
The Gr
First... sometime soon, I'll be off to see Alice in Wonderland IMAX 3-D (Cuz, they're totally not sold out today), and then Borders, which is probably one of my favorite stores.
And yeah, that's really about it.
In English, I was taken aside during the class just to be complimented on how amazing I'm doing, and that I'm going to be put into the Honors class next year~
He said I'd be in AP, but we don't have AP English... yet.
One more essay until I'm done with them, besides for the one due next week that we haven't been completely told about. In other school news, I only got one question wrong on the Biology test of the Semester so far (Tested on everything we learned in the class this semester), and I got all the honors questions correct (Makes me feel smart, that does). In French, all my grades have been perfect so far, not one dwindling away from that perfect score (Except, I might've gotten some wrong on somethin
