BTW, what exactly is the LA Benchmark test?...and what grade are you in? Whoops, forgot to answer. Anyways, the Benchmark test exists in the subjects of social studies and language arts. The Benchmark is a county mandated test that tests how much you've learned about things from the semester so far. This is uaually put in the gradebook as a quiz grade. And I'm in 10th grade. Actually, sticking to subject, I took the Social Studies Benckmark test today. The last 10 questions killed everyone, they were things we hadn't covered yet and it really sucked. I ended up getting around average, which was a 78%. Not one of the best grades but he said this would only count as a classwork grade. I got my progress report today. I'm proud to say I have all A's and one lowzy B that is one point from an A. Suprisingly, my highest grade was a tie between my 2D Art class and my Algebra 2 class with a 96. I did not expect math to be there at all. Chemistry is my worst grade with a 89% but it's been working it's way up from a very rough start. |

I went to the mall today it was fun. I was there for three hours and I didn't buy anything, but I did see some cool things:P I played NFL Madden 07 and lost to Carolina in the Super Bowl it sucked... My MVP QB got injured then I had to put my back up in and he sucks because I traded my good back up to the Saints for Reggie Bush, it was worth it:) I also played NHL 07 I won 2 games and lost one in overtime to the Calgary flames. I have been drawing some pictures and I have improved I have almost perfected yoshi I will show you guys when I do. I also watched CFL today ( Canadian Football) that was a bit of enjoyment but the NFL is way better I like the Eagles. That is all what I did today:P

I almost died today! (not quite)
Me, my mom, my dad, my sister, and her boyfriend, Russel, all went out to dinner today at some Greek eating place. The food was good but when it came time to pay, their computer went down. Then the ATM outside didn't work, we didn't have any money, and we waited about 20 minutes for out waiter to come back to us. It took us that long to get someone to assist us. Finally we left after writing a check (my sister forgot she had a checkbook). Then my mom and dad had to meet some clients, so I had to go to my sister's boyfriend's home (to drop off literally $2000 worth of computer hardware) and then back to my home to avoid being with my mom and dad for forever. On the way there, (they say they usually do this) my sister decided to drive for Russel while he worked the gas. That was the scariest thing ever, she was driving from the passenger seat while he was driving just over the limit at atound 60 mph. At one point we ran about half the car off the road and we were like that for about 50 yards before my sister pulled up to avoid a ditch. She goes around a sharp turn while fixing the song on the CD player(one hand, from the passenger while driving this car) , HOW CRAZY! Then Russel decides to play a game (he usually does) by going in and out of the median without hitting any reflectors. What fun! In and out, sharp truns and dashes. It was kinda fun actually, and very funny too. That has got to be the most exciting car ride of my life (up there with the time we got to take our car a few times around Lowe's Motor Speedway for spending over $200 on merchandise. We were driving a mini van while other people had Vettes and other sports cars. 100 mph in a van, thats about as fast as it could go XD).
I did learn some interesting stuff at Russel's house though. He has unlimited knowledge of computers and everything that makes them. His room is amazing, so many computers and other technical things. I also got some of my pics put on my cell phone (because it lacks internet browsing, not on my plan). I also got him to put a picture of the recent vandalism on my neighborhood's sign. It was sporting a "F#$@ You" on it for a few days. I missed it. Funny stuff. XD

Today on my way home, I had to run by a Petsmart to pick up some crickets and mealworms for my 2 year old friend. He has a bearded dragon as a pet and I was the only one in the city that lived near a Petsmart so I could be able to stop by before I came home for the weekend. That bearded dragon is sweet looking. TRIPLE BONUS MULTIPLIER ! !YOU ARE SO LUCKY! I have been begging my mom for a lizard since I came up with Gem... T_T |

My friend showed me how he eats and stuff, and he has a pretty sweet tank. The environment is neat in there. And his name is Boomer. XD |

TRIPLE BONUS MULTIPLIER ! !Mmm, bearded dragons. Double-scoop ice cream I got back from non-civilization today. But all the books from my backpack are missing, and I can't do my projects because I had all my stuff in there. I couldn't find them, but at least I got the one that's due on Tuesday on the computer. I finished it, so I'm happy. And I get to leave town again next weekend! =D Anyways, my scanner's still broken, and my parents think it'll stay that way until the end of the school year. I think I can fix it, actually. As soon as I can get back on the Artiputer, I'll try. Of course, I may end up busting it worse, hahaha. And I have to try to get my dad to help me fix the Wi-Fi. It's kind of hard to race over the Internet with half a Wi-Fi program :< Long story short: It didn't want to uninstall all the way, and now it doesn't want to reinstall because "it's already there". |

Gah. I am finnally spiraling into depression. Whoop. It's funny really, considering that I was pretty happy 3 minutes ago. Weirrrrrd. It's probably stress. Oh well...
My mom also met the mom of a REALLY old friend of mine... I can't even remember his name but I know what he looked like. It was preschool, give me a break! Turns out I saved him from staying back. We used to play all sorts of games n stuff, like the time we ruiend the girls game of barbies by attacking them with plastic dinosaurs... good times, goooooood times. I wish I could see him agian, if he didn't change like every other person. I hope not. He was a good kid... D:

Aww... I want to meet some of my old friends... Paul... Peter... and Hugo... oh I'll remember Hugo. He wanted to rule the world when he grew up. He also tried to feed me "african white poo". It was really cotton. Good times...
Anyhow, I don't remember my dream... I think I remembered a brief part, but forgot.
SO YEAH... this weekend I had decided to do NO runescape, and I did it. I still don't feel accomplished, I did nearly the same workload, spent all day trying to race people on WiFi (everyone was a snaker or cheater 'cept the ones from the corner. Blood, I still want to race you again, you're good.)
Went to my friends house to work on a project. We spent THREE HOURS and hardly did any work. We just goofed. And showed each other some funny five minute videos. Look up "Trunk monkey" on google, second option. You should get five little clips. Some of those are hilarious. Go Suburban...
So yeah, I recommend everyone with Mario Kart DS to add my friend code!! If I happen to be on and you happen to be on, we might be able to catch each other. Took like ten minutes for my search thing to track down Blood...
And Yoshee, just un-instal the whole thing if ya have to. I know you're probably trying this/have tried it... but still.
Oh, and I can't find my Age of Mythology CD anywhere... I wanted to play online with it but couldn't find it...

I had a weird dream. It was Gem and there were these scientist. They made her for military missions for world domination... anyway, they mutated a chameleon and Gem was the result. They classafied her as failure for being so cute and small :3, but Gem snatched the professor's coffee and destroyed the place on a caffiene high! TRIPLE BONUS MULTIPLIER ! ! Later in the year, they created more and were working with Marko, but Gem rebelled and killed them. Hey, they were teaching her to kill... She saved him and they escaped with the bazillion other mutants. The end. :3~

Ever wonder what it's like in a weight room? it's baaaaaaaaad news man, today my class had to go there to do a HUGE bunch of heavy lifting. man I'm still hurting.

Believe me. I know what its like. I spent most of my time for athletics in the weight room. I worked out all through highschool and was on the school's powerlifting team my Junior and Senior year. If your used to working in harsh environments, its a piece of cake. Yeah your muscles will stay sore for the next few days, but it all comes down to stretching before doing any heavy activity. Including lifting weights. If you dont stretch it might increase risk of injury to your body. So its good to warm up.

"Yesterday, a lockdown because of a gun suspicion and today a pack of cigaretts laying dead in the middle of the hallway. I can't wait to see what happens on Monday!" ~Me describing recent events at school Hmmm? Nope my wondering about what would happen today was wrong. Absolutely nothing happend in my school today other than a normal fire drill. Last week was very eventful. I have a few projects due later this week and I still have yet to start them. How responsible am I? Homecoming is this Friday. Yay me, I have better things to do! XD I failed to go to the Honors Night thing tonight. I had a lot of stuff to do instead of receiving an award. The letter will get to me eventually. That is, unless my school is as cheap as I though and they're gonna keep it for themselves... nevermind that last thing. XD But yeah, that about all thats happend and will happen. *sigh* |

I've been sick all weekend. It wasn't fun. Some of my friends who live out of town came over, and I had to stay in bed all day. D:
Also, my best friend moved. D:
Right now, I'm working on another speech. It's about how to create a web page. I should be done soon enough, then I'll get on wi fi for about half hour, then go to bed. That's probably how my afternoons are going to be all this week, too. But now working on speeches. Studying for exams. >_<

Beep.
I've got several projects due on like, four consecutive days. Good thing I've already got... two out of five done, and I'm finishing up the third and fourth tomorrow for sure. And then the book report =D Good thing I've learnt the book like the back of my hand all today.
I'll try the Wi-Fi thing again. I really really really want to race you guys...
And I think I know how to fix the scanner. I shall try again!

Well Today turned out exciting! I had my Senior interview with my guidance councilor, and everything is going great! I currently have 23 out of the 32.5 expected credits. Passed all of my regents (for those of you who don't know they are State regulated tests... that only 3 states do: New York, and I'll bet the other 2 are Alaska and Hawaii  ) My class rank is 10 out of 34 (yea REALLY small school) and my SAT score total is 1650 out of 2400. but the best news that I got was my GPA which is currently at 93.921. I'm very proud of what I've accomplished and I'm the only guy in my class who tries to do good in school, however I would like to try to bump my GPA to 95. That's going to take some doing especially with Calculus (math has been a great cause of disappointment in my HS career) Now the only things left to do are to apply for early admission to my college of choice and take the ACT. I'm so pleased with the way everything turned out! In other news the computer graphics course (MAYA) I'm taking is going very well, as it turns out I guess I have a little visual artistic talent (not much mind you just enough to get through the class) It's only my 3rd day working with MAYA but I've managed to construct a very blocky and basic model of the starship Enterprise-A To paraphrase the Klingons, "It is a good day to model!" *vaporized* Edit: after rereading this post I think it might sound a bit like bragging, and if it does I'm sorry but I was just so... excited. I'm kind of Naïve so I usually assume that a person (or me) has the best intentions, instead of looking for things (like bragging) P.S. after rereading the last 2 lines I have to ask does anyone know where I can go buy a life? Because apparently I need one *laughs at myself* |

Okay.
Since my dad isn't really keen on helping me get the Wi-Fi back up, I decided to do it myself about five minutes ago.
...And it installed all by itself XD Same friend code and everything. Now I would like to race someone again.
By the way, I'm going to be working at my mom's office next week for monies for a Wii. Yes, a Wii. I'll be gone about nine or ten hours every day, though. I'll try to draw some while I'm there and maybe figure out a way to get them up here.

Alright, today...
Forgot dream...again >_<
Went through school and I couldn't run the mile because I forgot my gym clothes. Not only that, we get double off for forgetting our suits on Monday. Not only that, the teacher wouldn't even LET me run... even for no credit! I wanted to run, my last 3 mile run was 4 days ago. I told myself I would run after school, but I ran into a problem.
Near school's end, I started to feel uncomfortable, and started wanting the day to end...fast. Later I find myself in an odd case.
Now, last time I had this, the doctor said it was the signs of a urinary infection, but it had really been nothing. It just hurts badly when I need to go... and worse... it makes me want to go a whole lot. The pain is...just...URGH!! And to top it all off... well... let's just say if I was a female, it might have been normal for it to come out. Yep, I think something's definetaly wrong with me.
So now I'll be going to school, but waking up late. My mom wants me to get a nice sleep since I'm sick... but I'm not sick, I think I've got internal bleeding. Anyhow, going to be going to school, but late.
'Night. Not necessarily a good one fer me.

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.

It wouldnt hurt to take it. You can be a step ahead in preparing for college. Thats what I think anyway.

Anyway, me and my brother went to the wellness center on campus and worked out and then played ping pong. Yes, Ping Pong. XD I beat him the first game and then he beats me the last three games and it was kinda embarrassing for me.

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. Yeah, go for it! My teachers say that colleges will accept Bs in an honors level class over As in regular level classes. Hey, if you take honors classes, then maybe they'll be similar to mine. We live in the same state, doesn't that mean we have close to the same AKS things? I took another benchmark test today. Whoo Hooo for an 88.10% (at least thats what it said)! My score was worse that that of the least smartest kid in the class. What happend to me??? XD In other somewhat related news, our school is gearing up for homecoming (which I have better things to do. XD), so as some of you can guess, there are those rediculously annoying talks over the intercom about what is and what is not appropriate. I don't ever want to hear another talk about dress code again! |
