   The Spanish Exam Commeth
Hi everybody.
I took my first 2 exams today. I think I did OK, but considering they were Fund. of Tech. and Biology, they're no reason to get my hopes up. I don't know why, but I retain the info in Biology easier then anything. Plus, Fundamentals was only 100 questions, and Biology was only 80! I finished with an hour to spare! :) In Fundamentals, we got to watch a little bit of one of the original Star Wars movies when we all finished our exams. Which one starts out with R2D2 and C3PO trekking to Jabba's palace?
Anyway, I've got my Spanish and Geometry exam tomorrow, so I better get to studying. Geometry will be tough, but Spanish is by far my worst subject. I've basically got my 2 hardest exams tomorrow. I'm seriously stressing at this point. If I fail my Spanish final like I failed my mid-term (you remember that fiasco back in January), there goes 25% of my yearly grade! I'll flunk!!! Urrrr...this does not look good for Logan. Anyway, please please please pray for me as I study tonight and take my test tomorrow morning. I really need your prayers right now, so thank you.

Miyoko-chan (probably along with a few others that read yesterday's post but didn't comment) was a bit skeptical of my minor inclusion or reference to the Resident Evil game plot. I can understand why, because it was a pretty contrived idea in the first place. But there is a major reason I wanted to include the T-virus, Umbrella Corp and the Raccoon City massacre in my story.
My original idea was for a biological weapon to be developed by a shady bio-organics company (I thought all this up without the help or knowledge of Resident Evil. The similarities are just a coincidence). This weapon was a virus that not only killed the person it infects, but also causes the dead body to keep its most basic functions (walk around and eat anything that moves), thus creating "zombies" to spread the virus to more people. A virus where everyone that's killed gets up and starts killing. This virus was also to have the side-effect of self-replication and hyper-evolution, which means it evolves into its own creatures which become smarter, stronger and deadlier every time they reproduce. This process is sped up as more types of animals and plants are infected, so you've got flesh-eating leeches, zombie rats, massive killer-bees, and acid-spitting tentacle-rooted giant plants.
As you've no doubt guessed by now, my idea was almost identical to that of Resident Evil. -_-' So I thought, "Hey, instead of using an idea identical to Resident Evil that’ll get me accused of plagiarism, why not use this as an opportunity for a cross-over!?". But if I shouldn't do a cross-over, then what do I do?

Anyway, the Prayer List is on yesterday's post (today's post is too long already).

In other news, Miyoko-chan is feeling a bit better! Plus, she's got 2 new pieces of artwork up, featuring a younger, more innocent and probably happier time in Makoto's life. Click here to view, vote and comment on the first pic (and obviously click "Next Picture" from there to do the same for the second).

Anywho, I'll see you all tomorrow, and please pray for me tonight as I study and tomorrow as I take the exams. I could really, really use your prayers.
