Winding down...
Well, the week is almost over and I've got mixed feelings. While I'm glad that school is almost done for the week, I'm still not really looking forward to the Confirmation retreat. (Which I still have to pack for, incidentally.)

There is also a possibility that I may have to do my oral presentation in English tomorrow. I'm better prepared right now, but I've still got some work to do to prepare for it.

On to today.

First Period I had Algebra II. The Juniors left halfway through to go on a field trip to see The Passion of the Christ with the Seniors. We worked on cubix/cubits/cubics. I don't know what the word is. New stuff, and yet still easy for me.

Next was English. We had a vocab test, which I think I did fairly well on. I actually studied a bit, which I'm sure helped. I deliberately took a long time, reading and re-reading my answers. I actually crossed out a few right answers and put them in the wrong spots. And then I put them back. Just to make sure my indecision appeared authentic. :p

We wound up having enough time for only one presentation. I critiqued it, as I was supposed to. Tomorrow we'll have English first period, and it will be shortened due to an assembly. Let's hope we don't make it through three more tomorrow. Logic says no, but pessimism says yes. I'll probably go with pessimism and try to be prepared.

I took a test in History. End Period. We discussed random current events in French, due to the absence of Juniors and Seniors. End Period.

Off + Lunch = Duel time.

I ate a grinder and then headed to the Nurse's office to play Yu-Gi-Oh. I put the new Barrel Behind the Door that I got into my Deck. I bought it for $3, a fraction of its actual worth. Matt didn't really want it, I guess.

I dueled Matt, and I knew I was doomed even before we started. He has just about every rare card that has come out since the game began in English, and his Deck is full of them. I was doing okay, up until he pulled out an incredibly powerful monster and beat me to death with it. -_-;

I knew that I didn't stand a chance. Maybe once I get ahold of the new Evolution Decks I'll be better prepared to do something. But as for now, I had to relinquish my title to Matt. It was nice, as he wasn't a jerk about it. He shook my hand, said: "Good duel." and that was that.

*insert expletive*

I WAS NUMBER ONE! MATT IS GOING DOWN! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!

Ahem.

Sorry about that... :p

After lunch was Chemistry. We didn't really do anything, as the Seniors and Juniors had just come back, as well as our teacher.

Theology, we watched an interview with James Cavaliez, or whatever his name is; the man who played Jesus in The Passion.

After school, my sister had a doctor's appointment, so she drove us over there. We waited for a while until she was admitted. And then I waited some more. I watched two little kids, who had never met before that time, mind, play together and speak to each other. It was one of the cutest things I've ever seen. They told each other their names, what books they liked, what their brother and sister's names are. Heh, it was just really cute.

Then we went to Sacred Heart, where I talked to my friends. Tyler, Tyler, Christina, and Victoria being the prevalent ones. Tracey drove me, my younger sister, and my younger brother home.

I spent the majority of the afternoon working on an image to use for Solo's Digimon RPG. I edited and spliced four different images in Microsoft Paint. The end result is what you see in my Introduction. It's a picture of Deciperemon, one of my Fic Digimon. He was the third one I created, after Blockmon and Healermon. Bhaumon came after him.

I actually have a picture of Blockmon floating about somewhere; Ginny drew him when she was still around.

Heh, just so you can marvel at my MS Paint skills, I'll show you the four images I worked with to produce the masterpiece above.


This is what I used for the ear-wing-things.

This was the skeleton image that I worked off of.

I got the right hand from here...

...and the left one from here.

Bask in my MS Paint lordship. :p

Now for the Wise and Otherwise quote of the day...

There's an old Greek saying: "If you admit your pig to the table he will..."

End quote: "...put his feet on your head."
