My friend in French class, Jared (who happened to have given me two giant candy bars before winter break), has informed me that I'm crazy because I don't like waffles. (I find this slightly odd, because I've known I'm crazy for years now.) I told him that was the least of his worries, since I also didn't like: WafflesPancakesHamburgersChocolate chip cookiesHe wasn't my only classmate to think I was lying about last one. But it's all true.

We're finally wrapping up Things Fall Apart. Today, we start A Midsummer Night's Dream, and on Friday, we start the Blogging Unit (no, I'm not yanking your chain on the Blogging thing; we're actually gonna be blogging for our grades these last few weeks ) On another note, I'm considering joining that new Pokemon RPG, Rise of the Rockets, once I have the time. Chimchar will be on my roster for sure, being my favorite starter, but I'm not sure what the other one should be . . .

.... .... [i'm keeping posts -- and the words in them -- to a minimum today.]

So my English teacher finally got back from his trip to Canada (he apparently didn't get the memo that spring break ended three days ago ), and my class shared our Brags and Bombs for Spring Break. Apparently, one of my classmates got her permit (note to self: keep an eye on the roads more often), and a lot of us wound up babysitting our siblings for little or no pay (sadly, I was part of that group ). But what really took the cake was what my friend Kathy experienced. At Sakura-Con over the weekend, she dressed up as some guy from Bleach (whose name I can neither recall nor spell), but some girls actually thought she was a guy, so she got attacked by over-excited fans more than a few times. Moral of the story: Never underestimate rabid fangirls. You do so at your own peril. EDIT: A minor alteration to this entry: it wasn't just fangirls that were attacking Kathy; it was fanboys as well.

I'm back in school. Spring Break didn't last. Well, summer break is within twelve weeks . . . though considering the fact my mom is trying to get me into sports again, that might not be a good thing.

'Nother Spirit Week. >.> Monday(today): Twin Day (didn't do this because I forgot, and I don't want to be anyone's twin)Pajama Day (I'll do this one, since its warmer than it should be and I have some good PJ's )Wear Your Crush Day (don't ask, cuz' I have no idea)Hug Tag Day (I'll explain later)We only have four days since we get Friday off. And at the moment, I'm having fun writing a really bloody story. Nothing like blood and guts to make V-Day vibes go 'poof'.

. . . that this is cool. Granted, the medallion came out bigger than I expected it to be, but I'm satisfied. Now you guys know what I'll be wearing for BrickCon '10. I'm considering putting this in GA, but I'm happy just keeping this here.

After tomorrow, I get nine days to sleep in as long as I want, write as much as I'd like, and watch Mythbusters until I fall asleep again. =D

After about four months of work, my Three Virtues necklace is almost done. I just need to drill a hole in it and add a chain, and I'm pretty much all set. B) I'll snap pics when it's wearable. And no, I'm not making duplicates, or selling mine.

My Biology teacher assigned a project two weeks ago that's due tomorrow. She specifically told us not to wait until the last minute to do it. What would you consider to be the last minute? I'm going to take the literal "definition", so I'm several hours ahead of schedule! On top of that, I lost the sheet with the instruction, so I'm going to be winging it. -LK

I never realized just how interesting I apparently am to some people. Ever since I got that letter from Willamette University, I've gotten stuff from four other colleges, ranging from the University of La Verne to the University of Miami. *slumps in chair* It's never gonna end, is it? ._. EDIT: Add another to the list. Now the University of Portland wants me.

Well, here we go again. Nothing changed on my schedule (which is a good thing; I was worried I might not get a second semester of Metals ). Oh, and if the message on the big neon-thing hanging above the office can be counted on, I have 20 more weeks of school until summer. . . . Is it just me, or is this year going by way too quickly?
-
Well, after weeks of sweating and fear and studying, they've come. I have Chemistry and Algebra 2 today, but Metals will just be a normal class, since we don't have finals for it. So, due to a shortened schedule, I might be on more often. But then again, I might not. Wish me luck; I'll need it.
-
Finals in two days. Chemistry and Algebra 2 are the tests. Metals is just gonna be another day. English will be a poetry slam, complete with snacks (=D), and World History is an essay on the Industrial Revolution. I have no idea what's going on for French, though. *cringes in horror*

. . . That my school had to cut off some bus stops to save money, but can still afford to get radio DJs to play for us at lunch?

My school has some new art adorning the halls. They're murals, both of our school's mascot: a hawk. I don't know who the artist is, but they did a fantastic job on it. If I can get pictures (and if anyone cares), I'll post 'em.
-
Finals are next week. *shifty glances to the sides, wondering if she can pull off her Chemistry final and still be remotely active on BZP*

I'm learning french, and I'm at a part where almost all the sentences are the same, and when I do it, I feel like ripping my ears off and smashing the headphones with a Hammer. ~ELM~ -
It's days like this that make me wonder why I'm even putting up with the Hawkeye. The editors boxed the rest of us in so we couldn't leave without being assigned to a story first. Apparently, the story I had been working on for a while (the pick-up line story) got assigned to another person without my editor telling me about it. A rather large buzzkill, if you ask me. So I went and signed up for another. But when I spoke to that editor, she said that it wasn't going to be in the paper for a few months. (It begs the question of why it was on Basecamp to begin with, right?) And just when I was about to log back onto Basecamp and sign up for something else, the Mac (the Hawkeye uses Apple computers; they're okay but I prefer the Dells we have here at home) decided to throw a fit and forced me to log out. Not one of my better days.

Apparently, my math class doesn't understand what that word means. "Quiet" isn't in their vocabulary; the concept of "Quiet" is like an unknown language; "Quiet" isn't in their programming; being "Quiet" is inconcivible. . . . and my parents wonder why my grades in there are low. Imagine trying to take notes in that sort of atmosphere. >_>

So here I am, sitting at a library computer, waiting for my profile to load (and demanding to thin air yet again an explaination as to why my school district hasn't upgraded their computers to at least Windows Vista), when my friend from French class, Jared (the same Jared that told me about cleverbot.com, FYI) marched into the lab, and said "Hey Fiction (that's his nickname for me, since he often reads my paper drafts over my shoulder when we share seats)! I owe you something." And then he pulls out 8.75 ounces worth of KitKats and Hershey's chocolate (the kind with almonds; my favorite) out of his coat pocket. I think Zen just got outclassed on my List of Awesome People. You just can't outdo someone you barely know walking up to you and giving you two giagantic candy bars. EDIT: My friend in French, Chloe, thinks that Jared has a crush on me, considering that she heard him talking about me and because of the candy bars. She's crazy, of course, but I did blush at the thought. :blush:

Even though I'm only a sophomore, I'm already getting hit with educational opprotunities. A few weeks back, I got a letter from a person that has some adminatrative role at the Willamette University in Salem, OR; apparently they've got an eye on me already. And today in the mail, I got a letter from the People To People -- which is a Washington "educational exploration program" -- offering me an invitation to travel and study abroad in Japan next summer. Very weird, yet very cool.

So I was in first period Chemistry (which is as cold as ever, BTW), and I finished a quiz on balancing equations (I'm pretty sure I passed; there's a reason it's my worst subject :annoyed2:). I should've been doing my chapter problems, but I was scribbling a piece of fanfiction instead. I happened to look to a row of books Mr. Traxler has on his shelf, and I saw (and I so kid you not) The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan sitting on the shelf. Who knew my Chem teacher was A.) a Wheel of Time reader and B.) had a book that's so similar to the fourth Bionicle movie in name?

...and it needs to come RIGHT NOW. So, I was working on a school project (due tomorrow) earlier today. It's a book jacket, required to be at least 12x20, give or take. It had to include an illlustration for the front cover, so because I can barely draw a straight line, I decided to do mine digitally and print it at our local Kinkos. My jacket is 12x27.5, so it would have cost around $16 to print full-size (it's $7.25 per square foot). Unfortunately, my family is experiencing some financial difficulty, and will be until Friday when my mom's paycheck comes through (hence the title). So the $20 I had set aside for printing went into our gas tank, making sure we could make it home tonight. For the curious, here's the jacket. Personal info is edited out, and some text is misaligned, misspelled, etc. due to incompletion and transfer errors.

Okay, guys, I'm working on something for my school's newspaper right now, and I need some help on it. The article is the Top Ten Worst Pick-Up Lines, and if you have one (or two) that are bad or cheese-fests, post it here. Thanks!
