Mazakuni, I think it is entirly up to you. I, personally, wouldn't, but that's because I just want to get C's(being the worse) and up(average A and B+), just to pass. If you're the kind of person that really wants to get good grades and all that honor stuff, go for it.
I got a song stuck and my head and I can't stop singing. I'm not even good at it! D: Ha, my mom and sister keep yelling at me... but it's so catchy! D:

MY DREAM: Argh!! Got reminded of it THREE TIMES and I still forgot it!
Alright, today I woke up at 8 and missed first class...Spanish... and finished my Science homework in the morning. We got to choose our new Spanish seats, first come first serve...and I missed it. I wanted a nice front row seat.
Science... well uh... what can I say? Did my work, copied the notes... yeah.
History was interesting. We had to work on our projects for the period, which we had to pick one thing to be a simile for the revolution, and four traits of that simile to relate to the revolution, giving three examples why. That's 12 concrete details and four paragraphs... which honestly weren't all that bad. I was supposed to write all of them, but my friend said he would do the last after our stay-at-his-house-and-us-doing-nothing. I had written the third paragraph and Emailed it to him, but he didn't open his E-mail. Today when I saw the project, I glued on the four paragraphs (we wanted to save that for the last minute) and realized... the first two paragraphs were fine, but the third had spelling mistakes, and the third AND fourth totally didn't answer what the assignment asked us to do! I had already GLUED them on though, and I hate glue! So we unstuck'm as best as we could and I ran up to the library to re-write the two last paragraphs.
BUT... me wanting to save paper... printed them too small and couldn't cover up the mess of tearing off the old paragraphs! We were able to hide ONE of the messes, but for the other one, we wrote: 'a revolution was here'.
In case you want to know our simile that relates to the revolution: a Pink Dragon.
SO... gym... swimming again. Due to my little problem though, I was excused and I'm going to have to make it up some time. Bleh. First I miss two jogging days, then monday I'm not dressed for PE and not allowed to run, plus after school I get that problem, and TODAY I can't swim because I have this unidentified (for now) medical condition. I haven't gotten good excercise in days! GRAAAH!!
So, after I got home we decided to watch a recorded Avatar, but got cut off when we had to see the doctor.
The doctor tried to identify what the problem was... and turned out to be a rash which hurt and excreted blood whenever a trip to the loo was in need. Apparently the causes of the case were either: Kidney stone, trauma, disease, and one other I forgot. I highly doubt it's trauma, might be a kidney stone but unlikely, as it dissappears day to day, may be disease, or the last one.
So yeah...today... it's gone... I feel totally fine... who knows when it'll come back...

Oh noes, Teo. :<
But anyways, my Wi-Fi sucks again. It freaked out today and now I can't get on at all. I'll try to fix the problem when I don't have a project that's worth a half of my Literature grade due tomorrow. Again.
Otherwise, not much really going on. I finished both mine and part of my sister's project today, haha. She needed help drawing heyoomans, heheh.

Half your literature grade AGAIN? Jeez, how many halves of a grading period are in this single grading period?
And to the one thinking about honors:
Apparently as far as I hear, honors are advanced classes with more work, but the students in my school who take honors and AP don't seem to freak or come to school red-eyed, so I think you should be fine. ON THE OTHER HAND... Honors History is known as the hardest honors class, but my teacher says it's just because people are better elsewhere.

Well, today right before class, I usually stop by a science teachers' classroom to get on the computer (she allowed me to do this since last year after seeing all the trouble those idiot kids cause me during breakfast at the cafeteria ._.;; ). Well, my counselor came in, and she said that she was told by my world history teacher that....I've been recommended for an honors class in American Government next semester! It was a big surprise to me, but I'd been doing so well in World History this year, so that was why the teacher recommended it. But...I dunno...on the one hand I think I'm smart enough to take on the task of taking that class next semester, but on the other hand...I've never been in an honors class before. What if it's too hard for me? What if I get so burnt out or so frustrated and my grades aren't up to par at that class? And I'm not exactly interested in pursuing anything related to the government in the near future. But I dunno, I think it's a good test to see if I can prepare for college. And it's kinda hard to turn down too. I have to make a decision eventually, but I dunno...should I take it? Man, this is a tough decision to make. Ahh. Honors. I take honors in all my classes. History, English, Chemistry, Algebra. I've been doing so since... Third grade? Yeah. Third grade. Eighth now. The big thing about honors is more homework, in my opinion, and sometimes bigger group project type things. Really, I say it's all up to you, bud. I mean, if you don't feel like you're being challenged in your history class right now, give it a go. Yeh. I lurk in the Journal. I kinda know what going on here. But I guess while I'm posting, I should post about me. XD So, tonight was combined activity at church. I thought it'd be awesome. Truth is, it totally wasn't. D; Go to church. Blah blah blah. Parker's there. We're just hanging out at first. Then we go to the big relief society room to get everything underway and situate teams. I get put into an awesome team. Me, Parker, Matthew, Ashley, and Candice. Parker was enough to make my day. Then something weird goes on. Parker and I get moved to another team. Okay. We're still together. We get into our team leader's car. Then something funky goes on again. She takes us all out, and we all get separated. I get put into a team with no one I like or people that don't like me. Alex, Emily, Michael, Keoni, and Alexis. Soyeah. That turned out to SUCK. Meh. Then mum comes to pick me up. Starts giving me a hard time that I didn't see her parked behind the one and a half times bigger car than ours. Then, all nice-like, asks me if I had fun. "No." Asks why. So I explain. Then she comes home and has to tell EVERYONE (literally -- told Aaron, Rachel's boyfriend, who was over). Mum: Greg's upset. Rachel: Why? Did a girl reject him? ....Homigawsh. I just hate her. She needs to stop being such a hobo and get a job. Enough rantage for now! :3 |

Today was an "eeeh" day. Not very exciting, but it sure was somewhat rememberable.
Today I learned never to tell a lame joke to my chemistry teacher, Mrs. Rapley XD (not really). We just finished the unit on atoms and all that stuff, so yeah. Anyways, I told her how disappointed I was about the fact that there was no backside on our homework. At the end of class a friend of mine said,"I'm gonna slit my wrists since there is no back side to our homework, Mrs. Rapley." Then I said right after that,"I'm a proton. That's how positive I am," in order for me to not sound like I;m agreeing with him ans to make a lame joke. Mrs. Rapley just gave a "psft" chuckel and gave a WTF expression. It made me laugh. I know, even if it was lame, that she thought it was somewhat funny. XD
In other news...in math, I got a quiz back, and to my suprise, I got a 93. I thought I did very bad on it but I guess I'm wrong. Also, we took the unit test today. It was very easy. Also, this evening was all to myself. I didn't have any homework or projects to finish like this past weekend and the past few days. I finally finished a pic that's been waiting too long. Congrats to me!

My mom and I ordered a TI Voyage 200 today. That would be the one thing that I wanted for Christmas. Hopefully, I can persuade my mother into letting me play around with it before Christmas. I'm extremely excited.
Besides the fact that my GPA raised .06 from last year (97.57 to 97.63), nothing over exciting/eventful going on in my life at school. Two weeks from today yields my PSAT date, and I've been studying for this in my spare time at school. The school even gave us a practice PSAT, meaning they gave us a practice test to a practice test.
On November 9th, I get to visit Binghamton for ASR. That's sort of significant as well.
Other than that and the usual trash talk to Anthony yesterday ("ASR is cooler than soccer!" Yeah, I'm a nerd; first I ask for a graphing calculator for Christmas, then I trash talk about a course that most people who are sane hate), not much that is overly noteworthy happens at school.

That reminds me, I got planning schedule thing today (to go around having teachers sign you up for next semester's classes). But that reminds me also, that it stated my GPAs and stuff. Mine last year was a 93.83 (better than my sister, YAY). My class ranking was 69 out of some 900. I haven't a clue what any of that is so far this year, I don't think it said anything. Haha, Enrique beats all!!! XD |

His grade is extremely high, haha.
Didn't get to do my presentation today; I got bumped to tomorrow since we ran out of time and I was near the bottom of the list, haha.
Well, the teacher read who would go in what order in the next three days, so yeah.
I'm on a different computer again since my sister has homework. And she's going through my iPod songs in totally the wrong order XD

Man I can never seem to be able to get just a normal fortune cookie.
So I crack one open and it has two fortunes in it, two fortunes that perfectly compliment each other. The first one goes on like "Use your charm and personality to your advantage." The second one is "You will get what you want with your charming personality."
I guess that means I should turn on the mojo, but there's no mojo to use. Most unfortunate.

Third grade my GPA raised .06 from last year (97.57 to 97.63), Mine last year was a 93.83 He he, I'm not used to the concept of knowing guys who are intelligent, let alone smarter [at school] than I am. It's just that no other guys at my school try...at all. If some of them did and I had a little competition then maybe I'd have some motivation to make my grades higher. This is kind of embarrasing... it sounds like I was making an excuse for myself! Uh... never mind then, keep up the good work guys! I'll shut up now before I say something [more] stupid! Oh right, the journal entry, today was one of those days that you just want to file away and forget, we'll leave it at that  . |

It says "Pain is not a bad thing; it is simply something one attempts to avoid." I think its nifty for me. |

My dream was retained: I was going to a party on some island, hosted by someone at my school. Unfortunately, my parents are arguing, and my concentration is utterly broken to post more. EDIT: They've calmed. Anyhow, my dream: I was invited by this girl at my school to go to a party on her private island. I'm sitting there wondering how I got invited when she turns the corner and is somehow at her island. In this dream, I was Teo, and using my pwnsome dragon abilities, I made it to the island, and using another ability I had given myself, the clothes were ripped during takeoff, but I made myself new ones upon landing, silently coming up the slope to the top of the island, letting no one know I was a dragon. I made it to the top where the party was going on, and I was one of the first to arrive. There was a house made of bamboo which, where the party was held, the lower, ground floor room had 3 walls, so one side we had a great view of the water and who was coming. Half-mermaid half-human people were now coming out of the water out in the ocean, and coming up here, also invited. I'm sitting here wondering if I should even keep dragonhood a secret. We ended bouncing around on some sort of blow-up mattress...then I can't remember. Oh, and something about the number 36, or more specifically, 6*6 and 12*3. Today not much happened. On the other hand, I signed up for sophomore car wash  |

I also realize that I could just easily forget it happened or delete it, but that wouldn't do much to fix the problem. So instead I just want to say that... I'm sorry. Just because I had a craptastic day yesterday, doesn't give me the right to spread it around like a disease. More importantly though, what I really meant to say was that I'm glad that I have friends who are like me and make the same good choices in school like I do. I guess it just didn't come out right the first time. |

Lately, I've been getting ideas of how my TI-83 Plus will be used when my Voyage 200 is finally in my hands. Well, first, I'd use it for the PSAT, because a.) I probably won't have my Voyage 200 by the 18th, and b.) the TI Voyage 200 cannot be used due to regulations. I've also been thinking that it would be good to load a game or two on it so that I'd have something to do when I'm bored in Band, which happens to be an everyday occurrence. |

It's all lie "You'll be powerful and rich when older" "You'll find a great fortune of money" "Don't be greedy" "Money makes your world go round" "You'll be in a theater one night and a golden egg will fall from the sky onto your lap"Everytime I go to a theater, I look at the ceiling hoping I'll find a hole.

Wow. Today in my recital attendance class, the first performance was a string quartet and they played......"Tribute to the Hero of Time." Which is a mix of Zelda them songs. The themes that I recognized mostly were Zelda's Lullaby, Castle/Dungeon theme from "A Link to the Past," and the main Zelda Theme song. It was pretty awesome.
