I got a Luella shirt! *squee!* It's not that interesting a shirt, but it's British, and the tag is the best thing ever. We got random candy at Target too, so I have the kind of chocolate that's really good, but really hard to spell. And I'm too lazy to go upstairs and look at the bag.
The math test today seemed really, really easy. Like, creepily so. So many people thought it was hard! That definitely makes me worry that I completely missed something. And I'll be sad if I don't do well on this test, I have an 89.4, and I want an A!
I didn't check my email yesterday, and gah, now I have 26 unread messages. And they're all from colleges. I feel like I have to read them all, but...26?? ew. I think colleges secretly hate me, and are trying to kill me with 135158 emails.
In Photo, I didn't have a journal cover evaluation sheet to turn in. Oops, I think I was out on the day he would have given me one. He said he would find one for me but then didn't. So hopefully I'll get one tomorrow and he won't count it as late. *obsesses* We had a gallery walk today! Everyone was like "Ohmygod, is that THE General Lee??" when they saw mine. Except they all thought he was running, not twirling. He was SO dancing about!
Yesterday's World History class was so great. We wrote alliance Valentines for World War I. I was Britain, *squeee!!* We even wrote poetry for some of them. I had absolutely no part in this, but my group wrote one to France..."We love France, It makes us want to dance, In Germany we wet our pants, Can we have an alliance?" Oh yes, AP students are so amazingly cool. And Clifton sent out "Bite me." letters. My contribution was to make fortune tellers for Russia, where all the fortunes were "You will have an alliance with Britain." I want to get that fortune!!
I failed a chem test today, this makes me sad. But Vikki and General failed more. So there. General and I went to the Model UN meeting today, he asked someone if he could join the club, and they were like "Wait, you're not a member already??" If you show up to enough meetings, people will start to think you belong! I'm considering staying at a hotel instead of commuting everyday, Katherine said it would be alright to bring someone from another delegation to that room. So, Heidi, want to stay at a hotel? Random people asked me to because they need to find two more roommates.
EAT MORE COTTAGE CHEESE.
While General wishes he could be more curvaceous, I'll just fill out this survey...
( Yes, I know it's a day late )
I did feel somewhat better walking through the hallways and hearing people go "Yess!! I got a D in English!" or "Whoa. I got one A!!" I seem oh so smart now, XD.
Orchestra practise was interesting. The oboes started cracking up, and couldn't stop, so Vladimir told them to think of something sad- in this case, the scene where Bambi's mother dies. So then we all like, had a moment of silence for Bambi's mother. Oh yes.
Oh, and I'm missing first and last periods tomorrow for doctors appointments. Someone get my work?
I finished The Eyre Affair and now I'm working on Lost in a Good Book. These books are so good! And Book Club finally agreed to try it for February, yay! Oh, and apparently we need more members- there can't be only three literate people in the entire school! So Towson kids should come to Book Club on the 28th.
We did a random project in Tech today! Jerry and I had started to think that we would never do anything other than measuring exercises and bookwork, but today was tower-building day. Ours turned out looking like a tipi, but it held the golf ball at 14.25 inches. At one point, Mr. Brown was like "Somebody grab my balls!" Dirty humour in the tech room, oh yes.
Livejournal really is procrastination. I should be doing my English research project or my outline, and no matter how much I might enjoy doing them, it's just so hard to start. But once I do, I won't be distracted as easily.
I'm not sure how much I want to read this article for English. My research project is on Phantom, and it has "phallus" in the title, and random pictures of people with "excessive phallic protuberances" on their foreheads. kind of creepy, actually. And I think this is the one where it talks about how Christine is Erik's Mother and Erik is Christine's Father. They argue that pretty well, but then they go into sexual desire, and it's like wow, incest. *coughSophoclescough*
I didn't even know what phallus meant, until Mr. Alford was looking at my article in class, and people started cracking up when he read the title out loud. Now I feel so sheltered.
| You Are The Hanging Man |
 You represent the seeking of enlightenment and spiritual clarity. You tend to confuse others, but your oddities seem deeply satisfying. Self sacrifice is easy for you, especially if it makes you a better person in the end. You are the type of person who is very in touch with your soul and inner spirit. Your fortune: Right now is a good time for reflection and meditation. You should stop resisting the problems in your life, and let yourself be vulnerable to them. You may need to sacrifice something important to you to move ahead in your life. Accept your destiny with courage, and learn to let go of what you think you need. |
Interesting, and probably true..
And I stole this random survey from Heidi. Fill it out in a comment!
( You know you want to... )
We got new countries too, Poland, Peru, and Zimbabwe. Yay, Poland! Jerry wanted to be the President of Pakistan for the Triumverate, because Moira told him he would get to act insane and all sorts of cool stuff. But Pan Pu or some other high-ranked Model UN member got to it first, XD. I get to be on the HIstorical Security Council of 1991!! because 1991 is so historical. But we're talking about the collapse of the USSR and the Fractionation of Yugoslavia!
I thought I would get to be Poland in this committee, it makes sense! but no, Poland isn't represented here. So I'm Zimbabwe. What does that have to do with the breakup of the USSR?? heh, at least Zimbabwe was owned by Britain at one point, when it was either Northern or Southern Rhodesia, I don't remember which. They're not in the Commonwealth anymore, though, which makes me sad.
We get our World History grades tomorrow, I don't even want to think about it. She says I'm doing fine, but she also says that a B is fine. (it's not) Ah, I'm nervous.
I got to watch Bleak House last night, it was so good!! I was a little confused at first, but wow, it was nice! And I taped it, so I can watch it later. I'm going to tape all of the following ones too, and the stuff on 15 February. From 8-10:30, it's all Britishness!!
Second semester started today, I went to Tech and D Lunch. Tech was interesting, you have to pass tests in order to work with their equipment. And Mr. Brown made up this random scenario where my Mother is an alcoholic, and Vikki teased me about it so I pushed her into a saw and her finger got cut off. This was all so he could tell us the correct safety procedures for when accidental amputation occurs. You take off your apron and wrap it around your bleeding finger, pick up the part that you cut off, and run to the nurse. If you don't do this, and just stand there screaming and spraying blood everywhere, he will trip you so you don't hit other people with your blood spray and give them AIDs. Traumatic amputation!
D Lunch was so empty! C Lunch is just really full, I guess.
Key Club meeting today- I considered running for editor or something, but it's a lot of work, and I haven't done much for Key Club in the past two years. General's still running for president, so vote for him? Hehe.
I need a new layout, but I have orchestra today so I should probably get my homework done. My agenda says "PROCRASTINATION" at the top of this week...message much? I should be like "I thought it was telling me to procrastinate more!"
2. Forty percent of the world's almonds and twenty percent of the world's peanuts are used in the manufacture of Annemarie.

Tehe.
Aww, it looks like we might not be able to go to a movie tomorrow, as I have orchestra at 6. Oh well..
I found a recipe for cookies that looks really good. I think I'm going to try it tomorrow, because we have all the ingredients. And if I wait, Claire will probably use them for one of her cooking experiments.
My Dad is trying to reorganise our basement again. He does this nearly every month. At least my desk isn't down there, or I'd be down there now. Claire's been like, having a fit everytime he tries to throw away something of hers. It's actually pretty funny..
I've been so lazy this weekend. I spent all of Saturday in church, and then I slept so late today and went shopping. I don't have too much homework, so maybe I'll do it tonight, so I can feel like I've gotten something accomplished. XD Our car wouldn't start this morning, my Dad had to jump it. I think that car is dying- the clock light doesn't work, one door won't stay shut, and it rattles when you drive. I'm getting concerned that it's going to break next time it gets hit by a flying Christmas tree...the wind is so strong here and people put them outside after Christmas.
Ugh, I need more energy. I slept for so long, and I'm still tired. That's not good. It's probably the headache medication I've been taking.
Ooh, maybe I'll do my outline. Because nothing says Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day like taking over Africa.
I'm feeling overcrowded. People usually don't come in this room, and if they do, they stay on the other half. But now my sister's sitting across the table from me having a shouting match with my Mother over the phone. And there are strange furniture-moving people upstairs. Creepy. Claire and Emma are getting something put on their beds, some sort of rails underneath, so they've carted all the matresses and such into my room. -siiigh-
English and chem midterms today, not too bad at all. Sadly, the ECR on the English one had to be about someone you KNOW and admire, so I couldn't write about Queen Elizabeth or one of my many favourite authors. The person also had to be an adult- wtf? They suggested your parents, but I don't really want to write about them. We had to do that all through elementary school, and I'm quite sick of it. General wrote about Mr. Skeels, XD. Oh, and he "accidentally" stowed a copy of the tech midterm away in his binder, so I took a look at it, and tried to answer some of the questions. It was pretty easy, even though I haven't even taken the class yet.
General just pointed out that the strange bed-moving North Carolinians are totally my motorcycle gang, which makes me feel better about having them here.
World History was so random today, we had the Hungarian guy substitute, and he told us all about his beer-drinking adventures in high school. And then we read some really bad DBQs, and gave them grades. Like, 2. Yeaa. AP people can be so bright sometimes. I only hope that mine didn't sound that bad, but honestly, I can't remember exactly what I wrote. I do know that I met all the requirements, though. Go me.
Someone set a poster on fire today. It was pretty worthless, we didn't even evacuate because they did it at like, 2:14. It smelled awful though, and now my clothes do too.
Hopefully we'll get our chem tests back tomorrow, I hate not knowing how I did. I know I won't get my DBQ back though, she's not grading it until she gets her contacts fixed. Oops, small handwriting.
Haha, this computer wouldn't let me get on lj at first, but if you hit refresh enough, it works! Haha, persistence. Aww, today was Vikki's last day in this class. And it's totally a double period, too. I think she's doing gel light things on stage right now, though. Heh. She doesn't have to do this one since she's leaving tomorrow. Oh, today was her last day at lunch too, it was so sad. I don't want to leave C lunch! Even if I do have two more weeks, XD. I'm so not looking forward to tech next semester. Stupid measurement assignment and a million outlines apparently.
So we had our AP World midterm today. The multiple choice was all like "these are real AP test questions!" so I don't know, I guess they were kind of hard. But the DBQ was so easy! I finished it and did all the requirements and everything, and managed never to say "Document 1 says..." Hopefully I'll do well on that one. I did so horribly on our last one as I didn't even get halfway through.
So let's see, what else has happened since my last real update? We got PSAT scores...I got 214(0) which isn't that bad, but ehh, I want a higher score. Clifton got 225!! I don't know of any other sophomores who got higher than me though, so I can't feel too bad. Muxin got 213, and was SO excited that she beat Amalie. It was great.
Ahh! Bell!
Yay, 2006! We made it through another year. :D
I might post some other icons here later...I have a lot!
The piano teacher is taking voice lessons.
*cringe*
This is so exciting....all we are doing right now is listening to other people's projects..not v. fun.
Weell, it is fun, but we can type and listen at the same time. Yay, multitasking!
I would rather stay here than go to spanish though so its ok
Oh my god, me too...I don't want to go to Spanish!! And I'm totally going on lj during this pd. for the rest of the semester...not that there's much left or anything..
Yeah... true but i forgot to tell you that Ms. Richmond seriously freaked out yesterday when she found out that i was missing 8 whole days...OMG!
So now you can go live with your grandmother! Just because you love Spanish (and Ms. Richmond) sooo much.
Right ok maybe i did tell you... then she was scared that i wouldnt be able to finish the midterm which is just a 5 min interview and then finishing the portfolio thingy.
omgdie, then the world would collapse. Heh, she's oblivious to the people cheering in the hallway when we miss 7th pd for whatever reason...she thinks people actually like her class..
or even learn anything there too. I know that i am repetitive, but i seriously think that we could teach that class or just not go to it for the rest of the yr. For those who are not here w/ us, i'm having difficulties typing as always and annie is making fun of me.
Go 7WPM! And Dan was talking about how he can do 70 today...I think I'm somewhere around there, but I don't have the "Teaching Typing" programs that count for you. I want to know what our Spanish homework is, I would totally do it now...and yess! I finished my highlighting before class.
ok, we have 5 min left and i can so count...i still have math hw that you might need to help me w/ and i really dont want to go back to chem to make up the test but oh well
Bwahaha, I get to make it up tomorrow. And that project was really strange...trumpets! But I think that guy is high anyway. Have fun with the chem test? I didn't ask him if I could do it tomorrow, but he's really really lenient about making up stuff like, weeks later, so one day shouldn't matter.
V. true, but sidebar topic, i think that if the others were not playing their music now, we would all be able to hear annie's typing b/c its v. loud.
...shut up. And now I'm going to see if we can actually update this...it might not let us, we'll see.
