   "Rally the Horde!"

Hmm. Yeah. Tim's taken to using that phrase a lot lately. We're both still really obsessed with getting WoW. He actually greeted me tonight, calling me Tauren Shaman, or something. I responded in kind, calling him Warchief. =p We're a bunch of geeks, but it's fun.

Today was a bit strained in the morning, but once again I managed to pull through. It was a pretty easy schedule of events, and I was grateful for that.

First period I had AP History. Mr. Currie was in a "class participation" sort of mood today, and he had asked us all to read some pages in our books last night. I had, actually, read the assigned pages, and so I was able to answer the questions he posed to the class. Me, and few others. Mr. Currie actually asked the class: "Geez, guys, is Ben the only one who read the chapter last night?"

Yay me. ^_^

After History I had Off for an hour. Matt, me and diverse others worked together to complete our take-home English tests. Once we had finished with the multiple guess answers, I went to the library and typed up all of my short essay questions. I had just enough time after finishing that to finish off the last of my Pre-Cal homework, which was great.

We basically did a bit of catch-up in the first half of Sociology. Half of the class had been on Senior Retreat yesterday, and so the rest of us basically chilled until they were caught up. Then we did a pretest, which I am immensely grateful for. The last time we had a test and I hadn't had a pretest, I failed miserably. >_<;;

After Sociology was French. We had a test scheduled for today, but we still had some questions on the material, so Mr. Ayres shrugged and pushed the test off to Monday. Awesomeness.

I grabbed a quick bite to eat at lunch, and then headed to the nurse's office to duel John for the first time in a while.

I was playing with a post-ban stall deck, and he was using his pre-ban Spellcaster deck. Which meant that he had a huge advantage over me, with the awesomely powerful cards he had that I didn't. Anyways, my deck worked as it should. I got out a defensive wall of monsters that John couldn't break through, and played Final Countdown, a card that would make me win automatically after 20 turns.

On turn 18, he finally managed to overpower me with some banned cards and win. It was pretty darn close. =p

With a bit of tweaking, this deck of mine has a lot of potential, I think. We shall see.

Anyway, after lunch I had Pre-Cal. It was pretty run-of-the-mill learning. We've got homework. Yay.

English was pretty cut and dry, too. We corrected some tests, listened to Mr. L rat on us a bit on how little we've learned in our other subjects, and gave us another test to do.

We watched a movie in Theology about high school students taking steroids. They were all pretty depressed, and two of them committed suicide. I'm hoping it got the message across to the others in my class. I certainly have no desire to take them. I want to get smaller, not bigger. =p

Before starting the movie, I asked Mr. Leone if he'd read our reaction papers yet. He sort of looked at me, smiled, and said no, he hadn't. In the midst of the movie, he went to his desk and sat down to read. About halfway through the movie, Mr. Leone suddenly laughs. He looks up at me and says that he's just finished reading my paper. He liked my last line, in which I called the author of the article a "libelous moron."

I do so enjoy writing my reaction papers. :D More often than not, I'll attack the author of the article for their methods, rather than the content of the article. But, I guess that counts for something, considering I've gotten highest grades on every one I've done. =p

And then, school was done! Yay! I came home, did some random stuff until about 4:00, and fell asleep for a couple of hours. *dreamy smile* That was great. =p

So, I've stayed up since then, eating Chinese and beating my cousin and sister at various Gamecube games. I've checked out the various components of my computer, and I'm fairly certain that it will be able to handle WoW. So tomorrow, if all goes well, I ought to have it in my possession. Which, of course, will be awesome.

I'm off to bed for now, though, as it's late, and I'm bored.
