1,000!!!!!!

My computer still hasn't come yet. It's supposed to be here wensday, but that doesn't do me much good since I almost NEED it now. Yea I might be over exadderating with that one, but I don't care.

Spanish
So far I've been playing it cool everywhere. Suddenly I need to get my act in gear and get working. I didn't get the best grade on my most recent quiz and I just noticed that I haven't gotten a hundred on my Spanish quizes since the numbers and colors. That was a huge wake up call

History
So this teacher has laid a project on us, and it's due wensday. It shouldn't be too hard, all I need is four pieces of Graph paper, which I have, and time which I obviously have. Yea... Another class I need to get in gear with.

Biology
Today I was ahead on my work and was able to start my homework while everyone else was doing what I did Friday. That made me feel good, that I could sit around and take it easy while everyone else had to work on the laptops. I need to do some memorizing in this class, and prepare for an upcoming quiz, but I'm not sure when it is.

English
So in english we went over our homework and did a little brain teaser. When out of no where Ms. Conway passes around a piece of paper that has a project criteria on it. So as I start to read it I figure out this is a pretty big project. Something that I want to work hard on, because I also need to work in this class. When I reach the bottem of the back of the page I see the point value. Portfolio 800 Points. Presentation 200 Points. That's 1,000 points total. This could be what I need to push my grade to an A. And trust me I need it. It's not that bad. It's only six essays, each has to be about four pages, and the first essay is due Monday...

Health
Not worth talking about. It's truely boring, not because I make it boring, but because it really is boring.

Geometry
We have a testy quizy thing tomorrow that covers chapter 6? This includes area formulas for trapezoids, triangles, squares, and rectangles. There is also distance formula included, and that's not hard, it just takes a while.



So yea I need to pick up my act in all of my classes, and I do plan to.


Computer should be here wensday and I have a violin concert thursday. So I need to go work/practice that.

Maybe I'll retain my sanity through High School, we'll see.

Thursday, January 26, 2006

Ummm... Yea

Well I'm not really sure what to talk about today on this wonderful thursday evenening. Well in school we wrote two five paragraph essays, and have two quizes/test (I never understood the difference). Right now I'm really waiting for my new computer to arrive so that I can get it set up in my room and do everything a teenage boy needs to do with his computer. Wow, that came out so wrong. Almost as wrong as "And she looked deep into his cheeseit's." Don't worry, it's an 8th grade thing.

So my grandma's spending the night at our house tonight. Mom and Dad went to a concert, don't ask me who's, I don't remember. So yea I expect their to be a large amount of me staying in my room. Typing, reading, doing something other than witnessing the havoc experienced down here.

Man it's already 5:45. That means no computer today. That also means that I have to wait another day to experience Fable on the PC. Fable is a game that was adapted to the PC for those of you who don't know. Yea I bought the game off Amazon and I need to wait for it to get here. It will arrive sometime next week, and the Computer should be arriving either tomorrow or over the weekend. I really want it to be here tomorrow.

That's really all I can think of for the time being. I can't wait for smallville tonight. Smallville is a show that follows the life of Superman before he came to live in Metropolis. It's on at 8 on the WB for anyone willing to watch it.

So as my dog barks I think is that the UPS/Fedex/UDL guy coming with my computer? No it was a neibor's car pulling into the drive way two doors down. Hey that's a song. Or a movie, one of the two.

So my night looks like this. Dinner. Hide in room. Smallville (also in room). Wait for the computer, that's an all night thing. And possibly read The Voyage of The Dawn Treader. It's another book in the Narnia Series. Yea, that sums up my night. Oh and I have to wake up Grandma in the morning. Joy.

Well enjoy your night everyone. I don't think I will very much at all.

Hulk

Wohoo!!!!! Exams are over!!!!! All Students Rejoice!!!!!!!! I mean that, maybe.


Yes exams are over and we are all very happy, all the students that is. The weekend was not as filled as I thought it would be. I spent the entire weekend with my dad, which is cool, but consists of much sports watching. So in an effort to dodge this I brought along my DS, which included Animal Crossing, and my MP3 player. All I heard was YEA!!!! and JUMP ON HIS HEAD!!! but I'm not sure why. Also as we walked out the door my dad handed me the other five or six books in the chronicles of narnia series. Book's are the things of imagination. If you ask me... Oh we also went to see Harry 4. I had already seen it, and dad had not. However we are both Potter freaks, so I didn't mind seeing the movie again. However READ THE BOOK FIRST. Because like I said Books are the things of life.


So I had left the PS2 here at home, and to my suprise (not) Joe had rented a video game. It was actually pretty good. I only got home today about four so I didn't have much time to play it. It was the Incredible Hulk for those of you wanting to know. It reminded me of Spiderman 2, but it was still really good. You know, destroy all of the puny cars and make them boxing gloves. Unfortunatly the game goes back to Hollywood tomorrow, so no extra time to play it.

I still owe Nook about $200,000 on Animal Crossing, and it's a very slow process. Every day you can only get about 20,000 if you have the time and you are truely trying. I can only get about 10,000 in a total of one hour. Like I said slow process.

Unfortunatly back to school tomorrow, but that is to be expected. Oh well, what happens, happens.


Oh Happy Birthday Brad and Taylor. Man you two are old...

Exam week

Wohoo!!!! It's exam week, wait what am I excited about? I don't want to do exams, nobody does, and yet we all have to . Tomorrow I have Spanish and Gym, yes there is an exam for gym don't ask me why there just is. Thursday I have Biology and English, English includes and essay. Friday includes History and Geometry.

Has anybody seen the show 24? I've heard it's really good, but I don't know. My mom plans to rent the first season, and possibly Kill Bill Vol. 2 which would make me very happy. I loved the first movie, and I've heard that the second is even better.

Now for weird dream time (trumpet intro). I don't know why but I had the dream that I was running back and forth between two places. The first was this open room, and the other was an altar of sorts. In the open room there was Cramer, the one from Seinfeild, and an creepy gothic lady. In the other there were these zombie like creatures. Like I said, time for weird dreams.

Some people are idiots. I don't know the person that did this but there was a person driving a light blue van that circled around our bus today, Oh I forgot to mention, while we were driving. Now I'm pretty sure you're allowed to do that with Mail cars, but with school busses. I know that's not right.

So the news is right next to me and I want to know what everyone else thinks. The question was "Should docters help terminally ill people die?" Now I know that this is debated, and I can understand why. But really, never mind, I want you to form your own opinions, and I'll post what I think next week.

Going out to dinner with my dad tonight. I expect question like how's school, and all those parenty questions. Oh and the Did you kiss her yet one. I expect to blush on that one, because well that's an embarrasing question to ask in public if you ask me. So yea.




Until recently I really didn't notice how short the bus ride was in the morining. I always put my head down and tryed to sleep, that doesn't work take it from a guy whose tryed. Now that I have my MP3 player, which rocks, I have been listening to it on the bus ride to school and have finally figured out that it's not that long of a ride.

Sorry about the break, my dad arrived mid sentence and I didn't want to keep him waiting. Pizza is my friend.
Suprisingly enough there were no embarrasing questions. New record, spent night with father and didn't get embarrased. So yea.

I say so yea a lot, so...big deal get over it.

All better now.

Well now I have to go review for tomorrows exams because exams are fun!!!! I ALREADY WENT OVER THAT!!!! Oh yea.

Good night to all, and to all a good night. wait,

Study Group

So I just got home from a study group with my friends. We ate pizza, drank soda, and goofed off more than we studied. But hey, that's what you do when you're with friends.


I played/trained on Smash today. I'm feeling really good with Marth. I think Marth could almost be my best character, but I have no real way to test this theory. Beat my .hack game. I really love these games, but I NEED to play them without cheatcodes. It would be so much more challenging than what I'm doing now.


That's all I can think of right now, oh I'm going to another friends house monday to finish up a Project. That's it for today.

Thursday, January 12, 2006

ZZZZZZZZ

So here I am typing and thinking, Sleep, need sleep ZZZZZ.


Then I remember that I am supposed to be typing. We have exams next week, I don't know how the school schedule is going to be, but I know that it's going to be havoc. Waking up at five thirty in the morning kills me. Right now it's 8:30 and I could easily go to sleep.

I'm going to a study group saturday over at a friends house, and Monday I am going to another friends house to finish up a project. Wow, I dispise Social Studies.

Mr. Wilson
S.S.
Tommrow (Friday) we are going to have a 2 hour advisory, which means two hours with this guy, along with the regular class time. Right now we are working on a Dinner Party in which we must invite people from each of our respective countries, our groups is Great Britian, and make a monolauge, and a menu to go with this. We have a rough draft on both, and their both due tuesday.

Mrs. Munden
Spanish
We have a quiz tommrow over 20 words relating to Computer things. Monitor, CDs, stuff like that.

Ms. Rotterman
Biology
Today she was absent and we recieved a quiz and the worlds largest study guide (Equivalent to all the work we had to do in 8th grade) and all of it is terms. zzzzzz

I'm awake I swear!!!

Ms. Conway
English
We had to memorize 30 Prepostions and they were due tommrow. Some people said that they were Xtra, while I don't quite trust her. I was able to get 31 Oh Yea. I'm kind of jealous of my girlfriend. She gets to watch a movie in her class (Advisory) and I get to listen to Mr. Wilson talk yey.

Mrs. Kuzma
Geometry
Homework R' Us. We did some review in class today, and will be until the day of the exam (Friday?).




I'm so tired. I usually read LOTR before I Sleep, but I can't tonight.

Oh I played Smash tonight and totally destroyed my younger Brother as Marth. I think I'm getting better, but I really don't have a good anchor to make sure of that with. Maybe Event 51 (Shiver)


That's all I can think of right now. Check out my story too, and I'm going to bed. G'night

Books are the thing of life

School so far isn't doing to bad. I get to see my friends everyday, and I get to see my friends. Wait that's the same thing. Oh well...

One week till exams joy. I feel pretty good about the Geometry exam, but everything else is going to kill me. I need to study spanish, biology, english, and History joy.

Mr. Wilson
S.S.
All he seems to give us is busy work. Right now we are working on a dinner party that he didn't explain, so we are making a menu, invites, and possibly an audio recording. How do you get an 8 course meal out of anything? We (my group and I) recieved Great Britian lucky they drink lots of tea. There's breakfast, tea, lunch, tea, dinner, tea, supper, tea. However, that's a bit to much tea for my taste. Ahhh the audio recording reminds me of Murder at the Middle School. That was funny. Don't worry it was a radio play that Brad, Zach, Tony, Brenton and I did in seventh grade.

Ms. Conway
English
Essay's r us

Mrs. Munden
Spanish
Today we watched a movie and took notes on it. Oh and I showed Mrs. Munden an old e-mail that i had found in my sent area. Unfortunatly I don't have the tech to put it on here, so you can't see it.

Ms. Rotterman
Biology
DNA DNA don't we all just love DNA

Mrs. Kuzma
Geometry
We are still following the routine of check homework, take notes, rewiew notes, do homework. But she's getting ready to give us plenty of work in order to prepare us for the exam (shiver)




Untill just now I really didn't notice how much i skipped from book to book. I just finished Prince Caspian which is in the Chronicles of Narnia, and I just started The Fellowship of the Ring which is not in the Chronicles of Narnia. So yea...

I did add the first chapter to my story to my story page. The link is In The Beginning, it's the third one down.
I plan to release a new chapter each time I recieve a new magazine that way I get pleanty of time to type and think up each new chapter. I am on my sixth chapter so I will be very consistant with the chapters untill at least the sixth, maybe seventh chapter. Then I might have to slow down, because it's hard thinking up all new names for characters that you've had in your mind for at least seven or so years. So give me a while. I get a magazine about every month, and the chapter for this month, counts for this months magazine, so you might not be seeing a new chapter for a while.

I don't know why but I have the urge to capitalize the beginning letter of each word. Like I said, don't know why, just do.

I bought a new game called .hack outbreak. it's the third game in a quartet, and i've played the first two. it's based in japan, and you are playing in this world of sorts. you are a character named Kite, and you eventually get team mates. right now i'm using codes that i put on after i lost my Code Breaker and the game is still hard, so i plan to go through them all once i beat the game(s) and do so without cheats. only because it's more fun.


The Bengals lost. Very sad, no playoff chance. Oh well it happens. The steelers are going to be loving this... grrrrrrr.

Well I think that's it for tonight. I might have some tea, read FOTR for a while and then sleep... ahh I hear it calling to me already.

Prince Caspian

So I have been reading The Chronicles of Narnia latly. I've seen the movie, and decided to read the second book. This book also includes Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy who were the children introduced in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. This book takes place a year after the children leave Narnia for the first time, and they are going to boarding school. As they are waiting for the train they get sucked into a mysterious realm that know nothing about.

I read this book in about four to five hours. Then again I just sat down and started reading, so for others it might take a time to finish this book. I would first read The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. DO NOT SEE THE MOVIE BEFORE YOU READ THE BOOK!!! I can't stand people that do that. It bothers me that people want to see something that takes place within a couple of hours, and not take the time to enjoy the actual book.

Now I understand that some people read slowly and others read fast. I really don't care though. The book, regardless of what anyone says, is always better than the book.

I would advise that you read this series, of course starting with The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. I haven't read the entire series, and if you tell me anything about the other books, I will hunt you out and smite you. Not really, but I really hate being told the endings to things.

ICE CREAM!!!!!

Ahhh ice cream is a good thing. unless you get a brain freeze, than it's a bad thing.

I read books as much as I can. Fantasy/sci fi/Fiction is really the only thing that I like to read. A book that I recomend is a book called Eragon. Dragons, magic, elves, that is what I love to read.


I think I'll either go type more of my story, or get a page going in which I could display my story so far. Yea I'm done for today.

Wow. The first day back to school was complete havoc. First I missed the bus in the morning, then I got to school half an hour earlier than expected. So I was able to watch all of the teachers arrive, and all of the students before school actually started.

Mrs. Munden Spanish 1
Spanish is one of the easy classes of the day. We play bingo, study vocab, take tests, and everynow and then take notes. nothing big, but a little more than usual.

Mr. Wilson Global History
I don't like this teacher very much. He gives us so much work that it's not even funny. and all of his students are his slaves. I was lucky today and didn't have to get him his water from his fridge that he stores in his closet. If any of you who are reading this have had Mrs. Perry, he is wider than her, and he is no where near as cool.

Ms. Rotterman Biology
Ms. Rotterman's cool. there's not excess amount of homework, but it's not an easy class to pass like Perry's class was. She also really understands comedy, thank god.

Lunch.
See all my friends and sit at a table with about 12 girls and one other guy. The girls aren't that bad, but Ian well... I'll leave it at that.

Ms. Conway English 9
She's not that bad. She kind of scares me though. she constantly has a smile on and when she doesn't she's looking at Durche. She's carefull to pronounce every letter in a word, and hisses on her s's.

Mr. Mazzaro Gym
Not that bad.

Mrs. Kuzma Geometry
This is possibly the best class of the day. Besides the fact that i've always loved math, she teaches for fun. She gives out candy for no good reason, and the routine is fairly simple. Check homework, take notes, review notes, start homework. That is the cycle that goes on in that class every day. It rocks.




I typed a bit more on my computer and listened to music. Speaking of typing I have to type a 5 paragraph essay every week for Ms. Conway and in a specific format. I'm not really sure how to get more people to come to my blog, maybe Garwood will have an idea.


5:30 in the morning sucks. Goodnight

Monday, January 02, 2006

15

Another year gone, gone out the window. I am going to get a new tower for my computer Halleluja.
We got one of the best looking cake's in the store. It's a cookie and cream ice cream cake with oreo's on the top.

Went and saw the Chronicles of Narnia with my girlfriend and family (awkward) and figured out that it was indeed a really good movie.

Besides that I haven't really done much today. Went out shopping with my mom to burn time so that we wouldn't have to clean or cook, and I bought a couple of manga (comic like books that originated in Japan) and that was it.


And now I have to wear the Birthday hat which we bought while we were in Disney Land which includes Mickey, light up candles, and a song if you press a certain button. Thank God the batteries are dead.


Well now I have to go and prepare for the birthday.

Sunday, January 01, 2006

A New Year

Well the new year is finally here. For me that means one day until my birthday PARTY!!! Last night we all sat around and ate popcorn and watched my little brother play The Chronicles Of Narnia. For those of you who have read the book and/or seen the movie the game is a lot like the book. I'm seeing the movie tommrow with friends and family so yea.


Today however, I almost typed howeber (haha), sorry this is me being easily amused. Today so far the Bengals are losing. They need Carson Palmer but he's either sitting on the sidelines going "see I told you that you needed me." Or he's going "Come on coach, my broken leg isn't that bad." You never know with people like that. I'll be right back, I need to get the neibors mail...

OK I'm back. I got this game recently called Animal Crossing. It's a good game that really has no point but to suck you in and addict you to the game. I played the game for the Gamecube and was hooked. Now I have a DS and saw the game and said MINE. All you do in the game is collect money and pay off your morgage. I figured out recently that you can visit other people's town's be using either the WiFi connection? or by using the regular link that the DS has. You really only use the bottem screen on the DS but on that screen you can move your character, pick up items, fish, dig, shoot your slingshot (only in the air), or catch bugs. The game also traverses (is that the right word?) in real time which can be cool. For example I was playing last night and there were fireworks going off in the game along with newyears.

I'm training hard on Super Smash so that I can destroy Garwood, but I don't think that I'll get that good any time soon.

I also got farther on Shadow Of The Colossus. I've defeated about 11 of the Colossi and recently I saw a cinimatic in which people were arriving. Do I get to splew their guts out? I really don't know yet. The main guy had a mask on his face that (if you've seen the intro) looks like the mask that was over the map.

That's really it, I sent an e-mail to my uncle that lives in London, England and talked to my girlfriend for a little. I'll try to post tommrow to tell all what I got, but don't count on it.
