I guess I'm considered lucky, since all my sicknesses are gone within a day or two, where as other people have it where they're sick the whole week.

Homework has turned crazily. Two assignments, tests and a lot of essays. That is more than ridiculous.

Yep, im taking IGCSE too. My book is just called IGCSE Business Studies, very nondescript :/. Its thick and purple.

We use the exact same book! We're currently studying "The Market and Marketing", and we're almost done with it. I seriously don't know how I'll be able to remember all the book for next year =/

By the way, which grade are you in?

I take the same exact thick and boring book. The best thing this book ever introduced was its sleeping charm.

Rofl, thats quite awesome. A dude halfway across the globe is using the same book as i am.
Im in 10th grade, and im studying the exact same chapter, although im just starting that chapter.

(IMO, this book owns any other textbook i've ever had. Theres a lot of info but its a really good book =/)

edit: This may be a longshot.. but.. what school do you guys attend?

I agree with you in that it's a pretty good book, but it has too much information which I find hard to remember.
Also, we attend a school called "Wesgreen International School". You don't happen to know it, now would you? xD

I find it fascinating how we're both using the same book AND studying the same chapter. What a coincidence.

Lol, yeah. For a moment there, i thought to myself: "Same book, same chapter, wow, im going to s--t my pants if these guys attend the Dubai branch of my school."

I attend a school called Emaar International. From what my principal tells me, Emaar is quite a big company in Dubai, any truth to that?


Sadly last year, my school changed its name to Excelsior International, an absolutely horrible name IMO, il always call it Emaar cuz liek it soudns cooler adn stuff.

edit: Apart from the usual mandatory subjects, I also take economics, physics and ICT.

i made an edit ^, and i take a long time when posting, lol, sorry :/


edit: OH RIGHT, THEY BUILT THE BURJ DUBAI, HOW DID I FORGET THAT? Wow im a horrible student ._.

Emaar is a HUGE company in Dubai indeed. Over here, we have ICT as a mandatory subject, so I chose the 3 sciences and Business Studies as my optional subjects.

ICT is compulsory, and I hate that fact. I take as Shadow stated, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Business. I think Economics is too hard for me, so I didn't choose it.

Where are you in Physics? We started expansion of gases and Charle's Law.

Since your taking ICT and your school follows the IGCSE syllabus, i assume your taking HTML too?


edit: In physics, w're at the chapter on Rays.

We will be taking it, not yet thought.

I was forced into taking Economics, I hate it, its really hard :/ Im screwed if i dont get my $#!+ together in time for IGCSEs next june.
The biology class was full, so it was either Economics or Music.

And if you dont like ICT, you'll hate HTML. It ain't fun man.. People with bad memory just crash and burn in HTML..

I'm not too fond of ICT Theory, but the Practical part is pretty interesting. I'm actually looking forward to learning the basics of HTML, since it can be quite helpful for me, especially on the forums and stuff. Thankfully, I have a good memory. =P

I don't have a good memory at all. I hate ICT in each and every aspect.

What lesson are you in in Physics?

The basics of HTML can be pretty fun, but it just gets really confusing when you get to the chapter on tables. Tables dont really require much memory work, just alot of foresight and stuff. It gets really confusing.

Yeah, someone always posts when im replying to something, so to avoid double posting i just edit my post above :/

Edit: Once again, Waves, specifically, light rays.



and im a guy btw

So you finished expansion of gases already?

No, we havent started on that yet. My physics teacher has a tendency of jumping from random topic to random topic.

Anyway, I should go to sleep now, its almost 1 and i gotta wake up at 7 D:

Night guys! Been great chatting

Yeah, the chat was really fun. I hope you have a good day 'tomorrow'

I hate it how despite how I was sick most the day, My mom thinks I'm lying.

It's weird.

I hate it when your parents don't believe you're sick, it kind of sucks because I'm forced to go to school and be horribly distracted with my sickness.
You should have seen what I did today. In math class I was listening to my iPod and then we had a fire drill, I went outside with them on and the wind was blowing my hair around (which is what I use to cover the cords for the earphones... yay for long hair) and I almost got caught with it, but my teacher asked if I was wearing earphones and then said, "No wait, that's some of your hair." Thank you oblivious math teacher.

I got my first 4.0 report card today. Yay for being smart! So to celebrate, I'm having pizza for dinner.

I still don't know how I passed archery.... I almost shot a kid.....

You have archery as a class? Lucky! I'm so good at archery, I can shoot a bag of chips from 20-30 meters away. : D
Ah, lovely memories from my school's grade 8 camp trip... I remember rock climbing, I was awesome at that. I climbed up a rock that was shaped really funny that was really hard to climb.

It was funny in our archery class because my friends wanted to shoot a picture and not just a target, So I pulled out one of my broken ID cards and put it up there, Promising $5 to the first person to hit the picture in the middle of the card. it wasn't until nearly the end when I decided to end the madness and hit it myself. I was really bored after so I put up my other ID card, then a random girl stepped up and hit the picture dead center. ahh...I missed that class.

Archery!?!? I've never done it, but if I were to do it...

*imagines self shooting arrow that reverses back and hits self in face* o.o

On a better note, the in-class essay that I did in class that I thought I failed came back, and I got an 87.5%. Not too bad, considering I thought I got a C. ^-^

Is it just me or is VictoryBattles getting really popular? o.o

Well, my online course isn't going very well. On math I've gotten three redos in three lessons, the rest haven't been graded, and I've gotten several redos in my other subjects. And with most of those redos, they've also graded the lessons with an A or A-.

Grass, VB is becoing more popular because Pokeadoptables is shut down. :/

I wish i had archery at my school it would be so awsome *imagines shooting my enimies*

Haha, we had a choice of Archery for P.E. last year but it was in he freezing cold weather so I didn't do it.

My school never offer any sports that are interesting like archery. All we got is general sports that is popular. There's a rock climbing wall in one of our gyms but we use it for a short time. I would love to take a rock climbing class.

I wish I could go rock climbing more often. I remember the first (real) time I went rock climbing.
I was scared at first, but after a few times looking down (bad idea when the wall is about 30-40 feet), I got used to it.

I felt so proud when I made it to the top for the first time... in my life... which was only last year....

in my school the order is 1st marking period football then soccer 2nd mp various indoor sports 3rd marking period dancing 4th marking period we break into groups and do sports seperatly such as badmiten, frisbee, and walking I love the 4th marking period because we get to choose what we do

Dancing?! You dance in PE class?! That's kind of surprising....

yes i love how last year i missed dancing due to health

I would be happy to miss dancing. I can't dance if I was given a one-year class on how to dance properly.

I'm so glad tomorrow is an easy day (for the most part). LA2, Programming 1, Band, Seminar. Then at 6:30, I get to go driving. Whoo!!

I'm glad I only had to take health and PE for one semester each. I got that out of the way freshmen year (last year to be specific) so I can get all the fun classes in later years, like my Junior and Senior (11th and 12th) year.

I hated dance class. Mainly because it's the kind of dance I could care less about.(Rap or hip hop, didn't even care enough to pay attention to what kind of dance it was.

Rap and hip-hop (mainly rap) is just stolen 80's music made into modern day music that completely sucks to the 10th degree, and then it slaps the original creator in the face and then says the rapper made that song by thinking for the lyrics and beats for months, when really, it's just a bunch of auto-tuned words to convert "Hello" to "I've been waiting for him all day". To be honest, rap requires no skill. All it takes is the ability to steal music and then give credit to yourself for "creating" that song.

Sigh.. PE tomorrow. Gotta play soccer (which i fail miserably at) for 2 hours straight.

Well, this was quite a morning. I start up my computer, log in, and it spends a heck of a long time "Preparing [my] desktop". When I was expecting a temporary account... No. Blank wallpaper, no icons, not even any programs. An error came up saying it couldn't find some configuration files in System32. I restart and, being Windows, it works.

Today was a tiring day. We had PE classes and after warming-up, or rather, getting blazed and extremely exhausted, we played Dodge Ball. Simply, we were smashed by a score of 3-1 or something like that. I never liked that game anyway. We then played basketball, where I won (the only game I am good at, I think). Some more of blabbers from our teachers and some crazy stuff in Physics and, it is the end of the day. However, I have been lately haunted by snakes in my dreams. That is just depressing to be honest. I still don't know what the heck the meaning of that, but I get that feeling that it isn't a nice omen, is it?

I had a wierd dream, where me and one of my best friends got into a huge fight and we werent friends anymore. Strangely enough, i just had a minor fight with him a few days back. Dreams are wierd..

Yes they are. Actually, I believe in dreams a lot. Last year, I had a dream with scorpions attacking me. After some research, it ended up that when scorpions attack you in a dream, then it is a betrayal from family. This didn't happen yet. I made some research about snakes now, and it turned out that snakes mean that someone from the family is going to be the worst enemy. I am seriously shocked and stunned. Two dreams with the same meaning, especially that the relationship between me and my relatives isn't that awesome. Dreams are weird.

Heh. I got so caught up in the chat with AnathemA yesterday that I forgot to mention I was elected as the LITERARY CLUB CHAIRPERSON by the school! My name was announced in a full-school assembly (which included the headmaster/heads of building), and I received an amazing badge of my new position. I, along with the chairpersons of the other clubs, were taken to the reception, where we were given free juice, cookies, muffins and sandwiches. It was a very AWESOME day

Also, on the topic of archery: The only time I ever tried archery was... in Wii Sports Resort. I'm pretty good at that one, but I'm sure I'll suck in real life =P

Indeed. The later i sleep, the wierder my dream. Once after playing tetris for 2 hours straight, (not surprisingly) i dreamt i was in a giant field, when the sky turned red and black, and giant tetris blocks started falling from the sky.

And once again, i find myself on VR at 1am on a school night ._.
and i still have a stupid school powerpoint to finish..

edit: Wow, congrats Shadow! My school fails miserably at elections and stuff like that. Our own student council never gets anything done... The most productive thing they did in 2009 was organize an after school, retro themed dance party. Only 10 people went ._.

Does it seem odd I went to Wal-Mart and bought only Dr.Pepper and Poptarts?

Or is it just me over thinking.

Well I have noticed the lack of variety at my Wal*Mar fubs maybe that's it.

O-o'

at anyrate... I have to go Mountain Biking tomorrow since we didn't go last time...I hope I don't fall off my bike!

I wasn't spamming if that's what you were thinking Jad...

Back on topic (if there is such a thing on this board), I get to go driving in an hour. I'm so glad drivers training is almost over...

Today wasn't a good day..all because I accidentally mixed up a person's backpack and the hallways smelled like poo *let's not talk about that story*. I'll explain what had happened; some person put my backpack hidden inside the classroom, I look around and I assume that my friend had mixed are backpacks, so...I take what "seems" to be his backpack but I open it and soon realize it's someones backpack. I got back into the classroom and I apologize and the owner was all freaked out...mostly becuase of the...*cough* homework *cough* assignment...due.... and then I got laughed at...but I didn't mind..it was all a misunderstanding XD (My backpack was pointed out for me by my teacher) XD

today i played wall ball in P.E. today because it was raining and i did horrible as usual with most sports/ athletic games

I don't get out very much. Therefore, and this is the truth, I have gone only twice or once, if not never, gone to Wal-Mart.

Yeah, I know. I need to get out more. Xo

On a side note, Congratulations to Jad!

Back on topic
I go to Wal-Mart Occasionally, since it's nearby. Thats where I get some of my games too, though not many...I guess I just went today because I say the deal on Soda and bought some. :I

All of my local Wal Marts seem to be gradually stopping in selling video games, first they got rid of the demos, then they got rid of the consoles and now they keep selling less and less of them.

We don't have Wal Marts in the UK.

I buy all my games at specialist game shops like GAME or GameStation. GameStation tends to offer very good trade-in prices, the other week I traded in two old DS games and got Dragon Quest IX for a mere £5.

I had nothing today as homework except for one question which took me nothing to do. I am lucky, today.

Speaking of Dr. Pepper: since it is not too popular around here, I felt reluctant to try one, as the collection of flavours in a nearby supermarket was fairly big, and it was pretty expensive for a soda can. Any recommendation? (Not cherry though, since I recently tried Cherry Coke, and I really didn't like it >_>)

I can't. And although there's a difference between Coke and Pepsi, it is not very noticeable (for me, at least).

Sprite is sweeter and has a stronger taste than 7up. Im on team Sprite.

I dont really like coke at all though, its too acidic, pepsi is just right, you can actually taste something. Btw, what time is it over there in Dubai? Im beginning to notice a pattern here, lol.

It is 19:07 here in Dubai.

So yeah, Fell into a Ravine Mountain Biking, then got my leg caught on a nearby bridge getting back up...Yeah my legs hurt. :I

Ouch. That must have sucked a lot.

On the topic of soda, I prefer Coke over Pepsi, but I barely prefer Dr. Pepper over Coke.

It did, But at least I didn't drop anything.

Also on topic, I love Dr. Pepper, but if I can get my hands on Coke or Sprite, I'd be good on those.

Coke is meant more for a classic flavor. When I want a ton of flavor while drinking some sort of soda, I will go for Dr. Pepper.

Uhg...last night is not a night I wanna remember. I got so sick, I...yeah, you get the point. But I was too sick, so I stayed home from school today.

At least now I'm a lot better. My stomach is still churning a little bit, but...ugh...last night was absolutely horrible. I thought I was gonna die. -.-

I've been feeling bad for the past two weeks now. Not "blow chunks all over the place and fear for your life" bad, but still pretty crappy. I have this horrible cough. And I'm not getting much better.

And on a totally unrelated note, tomorrow's my two-month anniversary of joining VR! Yayz!

I hope you feel better Kurusu, and Congrats.

Man it seems like Flu season is coming now.

flu season and allergy season.
one is slightly annoying to everyone.
the other is really annoying to some people.

I have no allergies. Guess which season I prefer?

Summer?

Anyhoo, on the topic of sicknesses, the last big sickness I got was "0h noez it's teh piggeh flu" flu. While I was on a cruise. Well, after it. But still.

I haven't been feeling sick

I've been feeling like crap though cuz I feel depressed and I'm going through problems
And it doesn't help that it's been 113 degrees the past few days...

Frickin' people complaining LA didn't get a Summer

113 degrees? Wow.

I don't think I can trust my own cooking now because for the second day in a row I've eaten what I made and I now feel sick.

There's a bug going around VR.

Yeah I know Tropius...
The news reported like 10 times on it in like one day .-.

"Record Breaking Temperatures In California!"

Wow it's only like 16 Celcius here. That's about 60.8 degrees, says the internet. Today I've got an English project I have to finish, before it's due tomorrow morning. I decided not to do it now, maybe later. In woods class today, I blew past the work like it was nothing.

It was stupid hot today, 25 Celcius. Thats insane for me, especially since I had to spend most the day outside carrying heavy things.

I gotta remember the formula to convert Fahrenheit Celsius for Biology (oddly enough)... and it will help me in the long run on VR.

Well Quad, just remember this atleast, they even out at -40. Sometimes it can get to -45 or less here . It's not that bad actually, but that's just because of my polar bear-like resistance.

I love it when it gets that cold, it's the only times I actually want to set foot outside.

Hahaha!! You guys make me laugh! Wow! 25 C or even 34 C?! That is more than awesome!!! The temperature here is always above 40 and in summer it becomes 50 and more!! I think now you know that you guys are in paradise and I am in hell. In winter, it reaches 20s for a month.
