Last post, maybe...
This may be my last post until after I go to Florida, so relish every moment of it. I should be packing right now, too, so...yeah... :p

Today I got to school late, since I keep having trouble getting up in the mornings. I really need to get to bed earlier. I really, really do. First period was English, and we did some grammar work. Bleh...not fun at all. Although I have to write a paper on "The Plague and the Fire of Rome" that I'm sort of looking forward to. I love the Greeks and Romans; they just rock.

After English I had history. I had forgotten we had a test today; or rather, I had remembered, but it just hadn't really registered in my mind as: "Hey, you have to take this test today."

I think I did well on it though; I remembered a lot of information on the multiple choice, I did all ten identifications and related them to what we had been studying, and my essay actually had a thesis, several points to it, and a conclusion. o.O It was one of the better best tests I have taken; I think. Let's see how the grade on it turns out.

It was nice too, that I got extreme approval from my history teacher for providing an excellent example when he was struggling for one.

French was after that; we had a quiz and I really hope that I did well. Progress Reports come out on Friday and I didn't do too well on my last quiz. Fortunately, I won't be in school on Friday. I'll be "sick". (Pfft...I'll be on a plane to Florida)

After French was Off, which I spent doing my Chemistry homework and managing the S.F.C.E. with its co-ruler. We're actually getting money from people now, which is cool. I just don't know how much I can trust Tim; the other ruler, who actually only owns 2/9 of the Empire.

Anyways, Chemistry was pretty much the same as yesterday: show us a new concept, give us a worksheet, and lose control for the rest of the period. Theology was spent discussing our previous test and quizzes. We then began a movie on the book, The Da Vinci Code.

Photography was my last period of the day. My group developed our film from our Texture shoot today. I didn't get to see how they actually came out, since I was eager to get out. I still need to get materials for my collage.

After school ended, I went down to the auditorium to get Techie pictures done. Out of the squad of 10-20 people, only I was there. A few more popped in when the Drama director and I made an announcement on the Intercom and physically dragged people into the auditorium. Now there were four of us. We got our picture taken together, and then we got some individual shots. One was me pressing a piece of wood against a razor blade to make it look like I had just cut some wood. In reality, no one trusted me with a power saw and I was never really permitted to touch it...

I got to roll around in a wheelchair that we use as a prop. Wheelchairs are fun, but I don't think I'd like to be forced to use one for the rest of my life.

I went to Sacred Heart with my dad and picked up my brother and sister. I got to talk to Victoria and Christina briefly, which was quite nice. Victoria got a scholarship to St. Bernard's, which makes the chances of her going a little better.

I went home, did some stuff on OB and had dinner. I got more college applications, which I intend to open right before bed, like I've done since I started getting them. They're getting frightfully redundant, though. It's most of the same stuff with different pictures and different signatures....

I went to Drop-In tonight, where we played the game Wise and Otherwise. Thing for that: http://boardgamecentral.com/games/wiseandotherwise.html

I didn't do too well my first time playing. I kept making too much sense. :p Some of these quotes had the most random endings ever...and when I tried to put something random, everybody saw through it. Still a very fun game, though.

David (Boba Fett) was there, at my invitation. I had invited him so that he could get information on a Ski Trip my Youth Group is going on in March. We wound up just hanging out, which was "cool beans". I showed him my Ladybug of Doom and a few reasons why CB Shin must die.....

I came home, and began packing for my trip on Friday, which actually sort of begins tomorrow. Tomorrow night, my family is driving to Hartford, CT, and staying in a hotel near the airport so that we can be closeby for our flight at 6-something in the morning.

Okay, I still have packing to do, so I need to go. I don't know if I'll be able to get to post tomorrow, so I guess this might be goodbye for now. ;_; I'll miss you all and see you when I get back.

(This could all be unnecessary, of course; my grandmother has been sending me constant e-mails from Florida. She has to have some form of Internet access, doesn't she?)

Well, goodbye for now. :)
