   Blargh
From what I can tell, Himura has been sick and out of school for three days now. Must be very bad if he's been out that long (He is a strong person physically and mentally, I haven't known him to be out this long).

If you've been to his site lately, you'd know a number of close people have been getting sick. Looks like something's been spreading around the schools.

Anyways, this bit of bad news deserved a seperate post on it's own so any other stuffs I have to say will wait until tomorrow.

   Biology class
We had to do an activity on the effects of fatigue on muscles today. The group chose me to do the exercise and act as their subject. Well I ended up doing 350 front kicks within 10 mins (I won't go over the details of the experiment)and now my right leg feels weird...I can't lift it higher than 3 inches off the ground.

It was fun. Doesn't hurt and it's just interesting how my leg won't move when I tell it to.

   sleeepy...

Woke up early this morning to get blood drawn for a test. Day before yesterday I almost passed out in class. It first started to get really hot so I pulled off my jacket. Then I started to lose my vision and my balance (I was sitting down, too so that was weird).

By then I knew something was going wrong so I needed to tell my teacher before something gave up. I got up and made it to the teacher's desk, the ground seemed to have shifted infront of me and I lowered myself onto my back.

I was hoping to pass out by then to have a legitamate excuse to go to the clinic or something but even with a screwed up balance and half my vision I managed to get back to my seat and refuse to see the nurse.

So now they're checking for any problems or something. I don't think anything major's going on 'cause it's been 15 years and I've little problem with my body so I'm sure it'll hold out for a sufficient amount of time.

They didn't draw a lot of blood but it was cool watching the liquid get drained out of me into two little test tubes. I expected a lighter colour but it was coming from a vein so there wasn't much oxygen in the blood to make it bright (The fact that I was so intent on watching that I forgot to breathe didn't help, either.)

I'm not sure if it was the loss of blood that made me unusually cold and sleepy today (Maybe 'cause it's just Winter) but I had to take a nap when I got home since I was risking falling asleep at the keyboard.

Aanyways, that was the highlight of my day, watching the life get sucked out of me (It was cool, but I swear it looked like oil).

Has anybody seen The Forgotten? That's a friggy movie...

   Mwahahaha
Internet broke down yesterday when I was typing up this post.

Well I got my Kenshin animation working again, but I've decided to keep the cat pic as well. (The link was broken for several months now, just too lazy to fix it). Also, I got a sword buddy of mine to join TheOtaku. He's registered as Hydroclopse and his site can be found here.

   Orchestra and other stuff

The orchestra was divided into two seperate groups today, the advanced players into the symphonic orchestra, beginners into the concert orchestra.

Before the split, this class was the only one I had with Himura, not to mention a good number of other friends I already have little contact with after entering highschool. Now that they got deported, I dun have anymore classes with them.....which sucks.

Ever since our orchestra director moved away, the class's morale has been extremely low, almost to a mutinous level now that friends have been moved to other periods. The noob director doesn't hold the same respect that we give to the former.

Moving away from school, relations between students at the dojo is getting pretty tense. For once I'm not taking sides and am acting more or less as a neutral power (very unlike me considering my many feuds I've held with others)

Problems are arising from two of the students in the class. One holds the same belt as I but is of lower rank and the other a white belt. The problem is is that the higher ranked student doesn't show much respect for the white belt, on the grounds that the white belt doesn't openly show much respect for the art we're studying. However, the dislike is mutual between them since the white belt already dislikes the senior's somewhat stuck up personality.

This wouldn't be a problem since I was never involved in this fight to begin with, and this tension between them hasn't grown to the point where the teachers would take notice. Not to mention a fight so far away rank-wise from me wouldn't affect me and my friends much.

However the fact that the senior student (in relation to the white belt) is a junior at my highschool and the white belt is a sophomore that is also in my orchestra class complicates matters a bit.

The white belt is a closer friend to me and his popularity at school and his natural charisma can cause me problems if he turns against me (both classmates are vying for my support).

The green belt, however, is knowledgeable in our arts, more so in it's historical background and book studies than physical aspects.

I don't want either of them against me. But the green belt is driven by fanaticism and has the advantage through superior skill and higher rank. The white belt merely dislikes the green. No doubt the white will be driven under by the green. The white's rank test is also scheduled for next week. The senior student will never speak well of the new green belt.

This very likely will cause a division between the other students at the dojo since not only I am being forced to take sides. The green belt does not have as many friends as the white but as senior student of the class, I'd be expected to side with the one who is is frowning upon the rowdy white belt.

Personally I don't believe the level of respect that is being demanded by the green belt from the white is really necessary. It's almost to the point of near religious, open worship of the art.

Advice would be appreciated.
