school time

Woops. I didn't notice that the one year-mark for this blog was on August 8th. So.. Happy three-weeks-late birthday, Gosh's Erblog! >.< Yeah. In other news, school started nearly a week ago, and so I have the duty to post my schedule and comments about it, etc, etc. Luckily I already did that for le tumblr so behold!

Period 1 - Language arts with Mr. Lankford. SOOOOO AWESOME. And I’ve got several of my friends in there. Yeah, definitely one of my favorite classes.

Period 2 - Multimedia II with Mr. Black. I’m one of the only 3 girls in there.. but one of the other girls is one of my friends, who I haven’t had any classes with since third grade. Not bad. Plus the class is cool.

Period 3 - US History with Mrs. Moore. She’s okay, I guess, but the best thing about that class is that all my best friends are in it. Sweet!

Period 4 - Science with Mrs. Negrito. Ugh, she is soooo strict, and annoying too. I have a couple friends in this class, but her seating arrangement places me far from them.

Period 5 - Health with Coach Philen for half a year, and for the second half, PE. I’ll get .5 of a high school credit, which is all I’ll need for Health. And I’ve got friends in this class. Not bad!

Period 6 - Lunch. All my friends and I have the same lunch period. Nothing else to be said, really.

Period 7 - Advisory with Mr. Lankford. Advisory is basically a 20-minute study hall, but the cool thing is I have a bunch of my friends in my advisory (plus, you know, cool teacher.) Only thing is.. there are also a bunch of snooty “popular” girls in there. At least we have open seating!

Period 8 - Art I with Mrs. Benoit. It’s a high school class, so if I pass (which I’m fairly confident about) I’ll get another high school credit - this time a fine arts one. Also, I’ve got some friends in here. Nice.

Period 9 - Geometry with Mr. Carine. Annoying. First off, from the few lessons we’ve had, I can already tell that I don’t like geometry and Mr. Carine isn’t very interesting either. I’ve got a friend or two in this class, but.. ugh. At least it’s another high school credit class - so if I pass this, Health, and Art, then I’ll have 3.5 high school credits without even going to high school. (I already got one in seventh grade for algebra.)

Right, so.. I guess it’s time to work on geometry homework. WHY was I somewhat excited for eighth grade?! .-.

impatience

I'm feeling kind-of impatient today. On Starless (warriors roleplaying forum, if you've forgotten) I'm waiting for posts to be made on three threads - and I've been waiting for a while now. I guess this is what people were thinking when I was inactive, though, so I guess it's not that bad. Especially cause I went shopping today! I got several new pairs of shorts/capris, t-shirts, pajamas, as well as a brand new suitcase and travel bag! I also got two 4GB memory cards for my camera. I'm starting to feel ready for my trip! Well, only on the practical side; I am lacking in the books department, but I think my mom will take me to Barnes & Nobles sometime in the next two weeks, and if I'm lucky, I can buy one of the Order Of The Stick books.

Now that I'm back home, however, I'm still impatiently refreshing the Starless homepage to see if anyone has posted. And it's not like I don't have anything better to do; I have a language arts mythology project and a science review that are both haunting me. Ah well.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I finished my download of Portal a couple days ago (yes, I finished just as I had to go to school) and I've been playing it a lot; it's quite addicting, and very fun. I think I'll go play that now - see ya!

download complaints

75th post! woot woot! and also, that homework i was procrastinating on in my last blog post - i got it all done. so there. B)

but that's not the subject of this blog post. my uncle informed me of the marvelous fact that the game Portal is available for free (at least until May 24th) on Steam. steam is pretty cool - i downloaded it last night - but i started to download Portal last night, and as i speak, it still hasn't finished downloading yet. that's probably because, whoop-de-do, it became paused sometime last night. except for the fact that neither i nor the rest of my family paused it. that's my first complaint. my second is this: "time remaining" counts are totally inaccurate. (this applies to other downloads too.) i know this because just last night, i saw the time remaining go from:

1 year

to

22 hours

to

9 hours

to

8 hours 30 minutes

to

9 hours.

as of right now, the time remaining count is 21 minutes 27 seconds, but as i typed that, it jumped to 19 minutes and then to 24 minutes. i got up early.. for this. i mean, i've also been playing farmville and what not, but i was looking forward to trying out portal. ah well. with my luck, it'll finish downloading right as i'm about to go to school.

the avoidance of homework

alright, i really should be doing my homework instead of blogging, but i haven't blogged in a couple days, so i guess it's okay. we took another long boring test today, except it was timed, covered all subjects (well; reading vocabulary, reading comprehension, mathematics, mathematical procedures, spelling, literature, science, and social studies) and took up the whole day except for 9th period. so yeah, it was boring, and it means i have less time to work on my homework (though i am blogging right now instead of doing so.) although truth be told, most of my friends have already finished this homework, so i'm going to assume i can get it done easily.

not much else is happening in real life, except for the approach of summer, which i greatly look forward to. to my happiness, i have started posting on starless (that warriors roleplay site) more and i also am a part of a warriors roleplay one of my real-life friends has started (hey, there was something else happening in rl. go figure.)

well, i... finished posting on starless, so i guess i'll conclude this post and go do my homework. and it's (only) 5:50. alright!

Alejandro

well, we finished up taks week. pretty easy. course, we still have final exams the last week of school. but the only one i'm really concerned about is algebra, and if it's anything like the practice exam we took, i'm pretty sure that i can ace it. and the great thing is, the amount of homework will just decline rapidly over the next few weeks. although there may be a couple projects. like this villanelle poem i'm doing - well, supposed to be doing. c;

we had a book fair this week at school in the library. being a bookaholic, i bought four books, spending about forty five dollars. unfortunately, i've already read them all. my mom is really grateful for libraries, for otherwise we'd have to buy even more books. i mean, my parents are solid readers too, but... anyways. :P I tend to read around one or two average-length books per school day, although this sometimes gets me in trouble. i'm not trying to brag here; i can just read really fast.

well, i have to go to sleep now; got an algebra AND a science test tomorow. bai!

you know that i love you boy

hot like mexico rejoice

at this point i gotta choose

nothin to lose!

Girl Scouts (and yikes! homework!) T_T

You may not know this, but I have been a Girl Scout since kindergarten. And I like it - I've always liked it - but this year (well, actually, we don't start work on it until next year) I decided that I wouldn't be doing the Silver Award. (For those who don't know, there's a Bronze Award, a Silver Award, and a Gold Award, all of which - but especially the last one - look good on your college application.) All the other girls in my troop are doing it, but this year I've had a lot of homework and I know that the homework will just increase next year. I just can't commit to doing something like that, not when I was considering skipping the meeting today because I had too much homework. Sigh..

Ah well. Just wanted to rant. Now I'm whacking myself for not doing my algebra homework (multiplying polynomials) and that language arts paper. Yikes!

Woah!

From my trip to New York to my Thanksgiving vacation to my internet being dead, I haven't been able to blog at all Amazing. Actually, I've had about a week with internet, but that's beside the point. Right now my family (and I, unfortunately) are going t0 pick out a christmas tree. It's a family outing, but I find it rather boring, as all we do is walk around and pick a tree that looks just like every other tree and not get to sit down. Oh well. I'll have a chance to work on that science homework I need to do.

And speaking of homework... ugh, I hate projects which involve more than one other person! It becomes so hard to get together and work, and out of my group of 4 people (including me) only one might be able to come over, and I'm still not sure about that. Yuck.

Oh well. I guess I'll blog more later. Bai.

More 222.

Regarding 222, one of the answers to my sister's math homework questions was 222. And I just came across a youtube video that was 4 minutes, 44 seconds (which is 222 doubled.) I also had another run-in with 444: I just saw a deviantArt submission that had been favorited by 444. I also got a score of 888 on a facebook game, which is 222 times four.

Annnnd. Yay, no homework today! Except I've got a history test tomorrow. and i should probably study. but I probably won't because I don't study in general. d:

Sept. 1st & School

It's September 1st (which means it's only a week according to my counter until 9 comes out!) This also means that Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games comes out. :3 For any (nonexistant) readers who are wondering, The Hunger Games is an awesome book. It's got a bit of a sci-fi setting, but it's mostly action and a bit of romance.

I already have a lot of homework. Right now, I have to write a 3 or 4-paragraph story about something in my childhood (and I have to use at least one participial.) Then I have some algebra and a lot of science. We have to do this stupid worksheet and estimate a bunch of stuff. And I loathe estimating. Not like, in math, but distances and stuff.

You know, I like to use the word loathe, but I can never pronounce it right in real life, so I can only use it when I'm typing/writing. d:

Yeah... maybe I should work on my homework now ;-;
