"It is not always a fool who sends another on a fool's errand."
I think I might have just posted the topic of this twice, but no matter. I couldn't think of any topic to put, so I just tossed in that quote.

School today. Yeah....Um...It was a day F.

Period G: Honors World History II. Notes and such. I managed to make a few people laugh, too. What made it particularly nice was that they were popular people. Yay for me. >.>

Period H: Honors French III. Went over our exam study guide and got the last fifteen minutes to ourselves. It was pretty nice. I got my painting critique in on time, too.

Period A: Off. I spent my Off today in the computer lab, what I often like to refer to as "The Nerd Lair." It's nice, because the lab is usually open to students when there isn't a class. I went and played Flash games, hanging out with a few of my nerdy Senior friends, who were playing Risk online.

Period B: Chemistry. More review for the exam. I know this stuff, gosh darnit...And the teacher of the class; this is his first year teaching. He's not sure enough of himself, I think. He is too easily interrupted and/or drowned out. He needs maintain discipline.

Period C: Theology II. We went over the exam, and got our quizzes and tests back from the year to help us study. This might be one of the more difficult exams, simply because of its size and the wide range of essays. There are many varying topics that our teacher could pick, and I know that there are some topics I will not be prepared to discuss in an essay.

Period D: Photograpy. We went over the exam today, pretty much question by question. The study guide we were given will definitely be very helpful in preparing for the exam.

Period E: Algebra II. Review, review, review. I was glad to have some revision of the materials we covered in the beginning of the year, as there were ways of doing things that I had almost forgotten. After one example on a certain type of equation, I was back in the loop. I knew what I was doing. The exam for this class is going down. :p

School ends. I get a ride from school to Sacred Heart from my friend Charlie. I wait for classes to get out, and then gather my younger siblings; our aunt was bringing us home today. My aunt, incidentally, teaches third grade at Sacred Heart.

Apparently something happened with my younger sister today, but no one seems to want to tell me about it. From what I could gather, she was taken out of the classroom to talk with one or more teachers, and it was assumed that she got in trouble. People were talking with her like she was made of glass. I don't know what happened, and it bugs me.

Anyways, I came home and fought with my Internet connection for some time on OB and AIM. I had little success. I really need to find out just what the problem is. I'm getting tired of being kicked off just before I post something or reply to an IM.

Tonight, instead of our regular practice, my fencing team had a scrimmage against another high school. They were fairly new to the sport, and it showed in some of their fencers. I defeated one of them 5 to 1 in my first bout. He got the point because he had moved before I did, basically.

So I waited until my next bout came up. We had many more people than they did, so each one of us only got up to fence once. Except me, and the new team captain. I wonder if something was meant by that, now that I think about it. Maybe I need more practice? Or maybe they just wanted someone good to go twice? *shrug* I don't really know.

In my second and final bout, I swear that their was something amiss. There was no way that he had applied enough pressure to compress the tip, which is how we determine who gets the touch. I just barely felt the touches he got on me, and he most obviosuly wasn't applying any/much force to his blade. His arm was bent almost the entire bout. I lost, a humiliating defeat of 1 to 5. I swear, there was something different about that foil. My teammates who fenced the kid agreed, the tip was super-sensitive or something. They also knew that I would not make up a lame excuse for my loss.

I got home a bit later than I normally do after practices. I had to help pick up all of our equipment and put it away.

So, I came home and began posting this. I think that without logging on to AIM, just having this window open doesn't crash teh Internet connection. Bothersome, but necessary, I suppose.

Boba Fett and I may be seeing each other on Saturday, maybe even fencing one another. If we do see each other, we'll have to be sure to get pictures. ^_^

And if he doesn't show up....ooooohhh....he will face my wrath. At some later date..... -_-;

I'm waiting for someone to post in W.H.A.T.E. so that I can keep the story progressing. I really want to write something. I don't quite know what, but I just need something to write. Writing here helps, but it's not quite the same. I need something new to write about. A new, good RPG, or a new short story or fanfic. Something.

36 days until I go to Disney World and Universal Studios. ^-^

Arcadia must fall. :p (And we must meet, in Florida...)
