Time of post: 5:49 PM

Hey everyone. Today was actually really good. It was a very easy day. Hehe, and I love easy days ^_^

In English, we just went over last night's reading and then she gave us the rest of the period to start tonight's reading. That seems fair though because she assigned the rest of the book to be read tonight.

In Geometry, we did nothing. Literally. I spent the entire period on the computer Just hanging out. Free periods are great, aren't they?

We watched a video in US History. The video lasted the entire period so we didn't really do much in there either. Though we do have an essay due Friday.

Lunch was normal but that's not a bad thing.

Driver's Ed. was awesome today. A couple of friends and I set up a make-shift ping-pong table with three desks and four dictionaries. Then, we just played ping-pong for the period. It was fun ^_^

We did some work in Chemistry but not much. It was mostly practice problems from the text book but they were easy.

Multimedia consisted of me sitting there. I just got my story board graded and luckily, I found a great loop hole. The project we're doing now is called "Teachable Moment." We have to work with a teacher to create a interactive Director file to teach a lesson. The teacher I'm working on knows me pretty well so he signed off to approve my story board before I even did it. Then, I put together a really simple and short story board and still got full credit for it. Yay loop holes! (I really hate story boards though.)

In Latin, we just learned a new, easy topic. We had a good time in class today because it was pretty funny in the last 10 minutes or so.

Then, I came home and waited until Andrew got home from school (remember, I left a period early because of prep ^^). We went to his house to play Windwaker and Super Smash Bros Melee.

Well, that's my day. I'd say it was a pretty good one. I hope you all had a great day so far and enjoy the rest of it!

Time of post: 1:26 PM

Just realized something - my post times are usually for when I start the post, not when it is actually posted. From now on, the "Time of post" at the top will show when I actually clicked the button.

Hey everyone. I didn't get a chance to post yesterday so this post will cover both days. Yesterday was good. I woke up and went to go meet Jesse for a bagel. From there, we came to my house where we played video games for a while. We mostly played Time Splitters and Super Smash Bros Melee. I had never played Time Splitters before that so it was new to me (though it is an old PS2 game). It's a lot of fun though - it's really fast paced.

We later ended up at his house for a game of darts and some video games. After that, we took a frisbee and threw it around at the field for a while.

From Jesse's house after the field, my parents came to pick us up. We went to The Olive Garden for their 18^th anniversary. The Olive Garden is always a good dinner ^_^ It was my parents, my grandmother, my brother, Jesse, and me at dinner. While we were waiting to get in though, we went to the mall that's right behind the restaurant and I picked up Wolf's Rain volume 5.

After dinner, Jesse, my brother, and I went down to the field to kick around a soccer ball (though Jesse is the only one who actually plays soccer). It was fun though. We turned on the lights at the field and after a little while, it went from just the three of us to like 21 people. I guess people were taking advantage of the fact that we knew how to turn on the lights.

Now today, I'm just getting some homework done. Later, I'll be dealing a small Texas Holdem tournament at Jesse's house (assuming it is still going to happen). That should be fun ^^

Well, that's really about all for today. I'm going to get back to my homework now. Have a great day!

Edit: 3:02 PM
The tournament has been moved to next Saturday afternoon.

Hey everyone. Today has been good. I handed in all of my make-up work for English today. Finally, I'm all caught up ^_^

I passed the driving state test today! Yay! Soon, I shall have my permit. Well, after 6 hours of behind-the-wheel lessons anyway. It shouldn't be too hard though.

Other than that though, not much of interest happened at school. I went to Jesse's house and we played a game of darts. After that, we came back to my house to play some Super Smash Bros Melee. Then, we had Quizno's for dinner ^_^ It was very good.

Anyway, that's about all for now. Have a great night!

Hey everyone. Today was pretty good. We took a quiz in English and then had the rest of the period free. I was a bit nervous though because I fell asleep before I could read chapter 20. Low and behold, the two short answer questions were about chapter 20. Luckly for me, we had gone over one of them in detail before we started the quiz. But then there was the other... Now here's the great part. I completely guessed on the second one. And, *drumroll* I got it right! I read chapter 20 later in class and actually got the question right ^_^

Other than that though, not much else of interest happened. I'm currently working on making Breakout in Future Basic (a pretty sad programming language but it's all I have at school). It's coming along nicely. I made it last year but it wasn't good so I decided to fix it - to make it less flickery.

Now, I have a lot of English homework to do. My teacher wants all of the make up work by tomorrow because the marking period is ending. So, I have to do a small project and write an essay now. It's not too hard though luckly.

Anyway, that's all for now. I'm going to go finish that English. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. Today wasn't too bad. Once again, all I really have for homework tonight is reading but a lot of it. I'm hoping my teacher will give me until Monday to finish the stuff I need to finish...

We had a lab in Chemistry today (like we do every Wednesday). We had to heat a mixture of powders to cause a reaction which produced oxygen. There was a pretty cool effect when a bunch of oxygen came out all at once and there weas a white smoke coming out of the water ^^

Anyway, that's really all that happened today so I'm going to go and finish my homework. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. Today was actually pretty good. I have almost no homework. I still do have to finish my reading for English though. And, I should probably get started on the Vocab but that's not due until Thursday.

I'm actually in the middle of reading now. I'm just taking a small break to type this. I've still got about 70 pages in The Lovely Bones left to read after this. When I finally finish that, I have an essay and a project to do for it as well. Fun stuff...

In other news, we had our second Computer Club meeting today. We actually made some progress this time. We voted on officers and our shirts (what style and what we wanted on them). After that, I just kind of came home and started my homework.

Anyway, that's about all for now. Have a great rest of the day!

Hey everyone. Today wasn't too bad. We had a Chemistry test today that took a long time (I had to go back 9th period to finish) but wasn't too hard.

After school, I ended up going over to Chris' house for a while. We just sort of hung out and watched TV. I also bought another Nintendo Zapper (the NES light gun) from him for $4 just because it was there and he sold his NES so he had no use for it.

Now, I'm home and I have some homework to go do. Before I go though, who's noticed the improvements to the comments and buddy list? It now shows us as on or off line ^_^ I don't know, I think it's a good feature though.

Anyway, that's about all for today. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. This will be a pretty quick post. Oh, and I just thought of something - clocks should now be set an hour ahead in case anyone forgot.

Today will be a pretty slow day for me. I have a lot of reading to do to catch up in school. I'm going to try to finish The Lovely Bones today as well as get to where I'm supposed to be in our new book, Ordinary People. At least I'm not behind in that too though.

Yesterday was good. My friend did end up coming over and we went to Montclair to go to a friend's house who we met on the Italy trip. We went out to dinner at a Japanese food place but this time it was one of the ones where they make the food right in front of you. It was a fun change.

Anyway, I'm going to go get started on that reading now. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. Today has been pretty good so far. I haven't really even done anything besides play Sagas today but I made a lot of progress. It's a better game than I had expected.

Anyway, Andrew (the one from PA) is supposed to be coming over today at some point. I don't know when he's going to get here, of if they're even still coming with the rain how it is. It's a 2 and a half hour drive and I think he has to go see his grandmother first. Oh well, we'll see how it goes.

Anyway, I'm not really doing much else that I know of so I'm going to get going. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. Today wasn't the best of days. I guess it is teh combination of not enough sleep over the last couple of days and my allergies kicking back in that caused it. When I woke up today, I really didn't feel well. Not sick, just overly tired.

After school, I thought it may have something to do with the allergy medicine so I read the label. It says on it "may cause dizziness" which I never actually saw before. I didn't think that was the cause at first though because this has never happened before. The thing about it is that it's only supposed to be taken once a day. I took one last night (to get it started again) and then once this morning as I usually would. What I figure is that there was just too much of the stuff in my system. So, when I got home, I just went to sleep for a couple hours. Now, I'm feeling a lot better ^_^

Anyway, sorry about that. It was just on my mind and I ended up typing it up here. Other than that, I don't really have much else to say. So I'm going to go. Have a great day and thanks for reading!
