Oh, that's nothing at all. I am not bothered with killing or blood. I find it exciting, actually. Today's dissection was nice. I think we will dissect a kidney later on.

And it is so tickling!!! It does feel nice when you put your finger through it.

That's a bit random. In grade 8 (last year) we dissected pig hearts. That was fun cutting it open and feeling it. *Shivers* It almost felt like we weren't wearing gloves it was so slippery.

It is slippery and ... something strange about them. I wanted to chew it while dissecting it so bad.

I've never dissected anything... I was never given the chance, we just don't do that at my school... Apparently (Though I was at the dentist while it was happening) as a special activity for Day 11 (A tri-weekly day where we don't do schoolwork, but instead special activities) all the year 7's got to dissect an eyeball...

In 5th grade, I had to dissect a sheep's heart... without wearing any gloves... it was gross.

I dissect a pig's eye in 6th grade. I find it fasinating that I take things apart with my own hands. I remember a field trip last year when I touch a sheep's lung and you get to squeeze the lungs with something to simulate the sheep's breathing.

Ive dissected a heart last year, It wasn't fair cause I was only able to hold it once. But meh...At least I cut it open.

There was a realy funny thing that happened when I was in 7th grade...my teacher told us we wer having a dissection, all the guys were like, "YAY!!!!" and all the girls were like, "Awwwww..." We asked what we were dissecting, and she said,

"We're going to dissect a flower!"

Guys: D8
Girls: ^-^

I can't wait to dissect an eyeball. It is going to be really amazing. But first, we need to reach the chapter of the eyes. Oh! I wish we make some experiment in Chemistry, since I am getting bored now from theories. I think we will be doing an experiment in Physics next class for specific thermal capacity. I just hope the teacher doesn't forget...

On another note, I have been doing a lot of homework today! I finished Physics homework, Literature essay, Business project and studied for the Maths test. I have to study for IT test tomorrow.

I didn't eat for a whole 27 and a half hours. Don't ask why, I just wasn't hungry then I woke up this morning all sick and not feeling good and I had some cereal. Now I'm still not feeling so good, I'm a bit light-headed.

:I

I haven't been feeling too well either... I've had a sore throat, a headache, my ear's been hurting for some reason, my nose is blocked and I'm SO TIRED. I just had a three-hour-nap, as well... D:

Oh well, I've got a whole week off next week! ^^

I actually haven't eaten since 2 days ago. Don't know why.
As for how I feel, meh, Just more tired than normal.

For some reason, we're all getting sick at the same time. 0_0

Anyways, today was pretty awesome for me. My friends/cousins and I went to a mall in Dubai, to a place called "Soccer Circus" where you do a lot of small challenges in soccer to improve yourself, enjoy your time and accumulate points. We were able to collect 108,044 points, which is a HUGE number.

You guys are all sick except for me, not that I am complaining! Anyway, today was a normal day for me.

My day was good, got some homework but it isn't that bad. I also just checked my grades and they are good in everything Yay xD

Our school doesn't upload grades online, so you need to attend the school day in order to collect your report. We get them during form time at the end of the day. Also, those progress reports are not as important as the report cards which are given after the mid-year and final examinations.

My school has online grades, but they also hand out letters of the Report Cards. Just to ensure they get to the parents.

My grades are stable so I'm pretty good with my school work at the moment.

I got the results back from a mock Maths test today...

I got a B. I am disappoint. Our actual GCSE is coming up just after half term, so a couple of weeks time. I really want at least an A, so I've gotta up my game a bit if I want to get it. Revision revision revision. One mark less and I would've been on a C. :V

We don't get report cards 'til late October, but I'm kind of excited to be able to brag to the kids in my class about my grades, because I could get a 75% (which is horrible e_e to me) and I'd still get higher marks than all of them. I'm in the stupid people class. Yay.

I get report cards sometime in November. As far as I know I have A's and B's in most of my classes. I think I have a C in Social Studies or something. My parents get really mad though if I have a C or lower.

Mine are coming in next week. I don't have to worry, I'm passing with a 75% lowest mark.

I will be getting my progress report in November. I am really afraid from the upcoming marks.

Yeah my parents are always dissapointed when I get anything lower than 75%, which is when I'm dissapointed myself. My mom always makes a big scene though and makes me feel stupid when she talks about how I didn't do very good. That's above the standard in my class for crying out loud! 15 out of 24 people in my class failed that test, and I got the highest mark, but it wasn't good enough for my mom. -_-

My parents get really mad if I get a 79% or lower on any assignment >_> Not fun, I can assure you.

My parents aren't that strict on marks, All they care is that I have at least a 75% average, then Im good.

My parents don't really care at long I get good grades like A's and B's and do home work.(as usual asian parents) I can look up my grades online but most teachers don't really updated except my US History and French. I just look at my US History and I got a B- which is good since that class is difficult. My grade got raise up from the test I thought I fail at.

You guys are lucky. My mum makes a very dramatic scene when I get below 100. Not that I always get, but my mum always says 'You should have studied more! You could get the 100!' My dad is more realistic, but doesn't like below 90s.

Yeah, I hated getting my test back to see I only answered 4 questions wrong, and I knew the answers to them too! That made me mad, I could have had 100%. I'm starting to carve my pumpkin now. I can't wait to show you guys pictures (of the epic fail)!

Today was the first day during which we did not get any homework whatsoever for all subjects. On top of that, we have no more tests/quizzes this week (yet), so I'm free to do whatever I want besides studying right now!

It's like they got used to the high marks which I get that it's becoming slightly normal to them. =/ Personally, I'm disappointed by anything below 90%, because A's are what I usually get. :I Same here. I like to study a lot and aim for marks above 90 in all subjects.

Well we went rock climbing. Nothing really happened since it was mostly learning today.

Also, some of my friends were suggesting silly Ideas they want to do. One was to get like 4 people in gorilla suits and one guy in a banana suit and just run across the school. it was a silly conversation. Then suggested that I be a pimp for Halloween, wtf.

I got some shots today. I don't like shots, and I usually forget how little or how much each one hurts when I get them. Hence, I'm stuck with the common thought that most shots hurt. Then I beat myself up later for letting myself spazz out over it.

Today was a flu shot (those don't hurt at all) and a hemoglobin shot (blood sugar test; this one hurt minorly after I got it and the second I got it) I might have to get two more shots for cholesterol and something I'd rather not mention. o_0

Oooh, good luck enduring the pain.

The pain's not too bad; my left arm is a little sore and this bandage on my ring finger on my right hand is sort of hindering my typing. Besides that...

Oh yeah, BTW, I got a uri- *shot*

The tip is don't think about the pain, that helps me often.

Yeah, it does. Problem is then I don't know what to think about in it's place.

Oh yeah, funny story. I was in my Chinese class and we were doing work on our whiteboards. When I finished, I impulsively said, "はああああい!" (Japanese for "yes", but it can be used for saying "I finished") Luckily no one noticed.

I actually can't wait for school tomorrow *gasp*. Why? I get to work on my text-based adventure in my Programming class.

I hate when threads are moved. it ruins my post count right when I nearly go up a rank in posting

Well darn.. Honestly it's not post count that matters. What is is, just becoming an integrated part of the community. That's what a forum is about.

What thread was moved?

Oh yeah, I had a Biology test I wasn't prepared for today because I was completely unaware that I had one. Luckily, thanks to cramming, I got 106%. o_0

I know just that i reached flotzel to get rid of the ad (otherwise my posts would be mostly in the fun section) but i wanted to get my count up again because i don't like flotzels. also it is nice to have a high number of posts outside of the fun section.

my average in language arts is a B. Most of my classes are b's for an average, but last year I had nearly all a-'s or a+'s. I hate being in the grade with the hardest teachers in my school!

I'm only good in my English class because everyone else sucks.

I have a B+ in my English class, mainly because my essays aren't really all that great. :/ Surprisingly, my worst grade in school is actually in band. o.o

I was so lucky today. We were playing football and I shot the ball. Strangely, the ball went through the basket. It was so hilarious! XD

With no tests this week and a small number homeworks, I'm finally finding more free time to read and do some of my hobbies. I'm also going to watch a movie during this weekend with Spirit, so I'm looking forward to that.

English is one of my best classes, along with French, science and (this is a real surprise) math. Right now I'm in woods class working on my clock. It's epic 'cause it has a lion on it. If you don't understand, chill I'll have pictures up soon.

In my wood shop classes, We made a small race car(I don't have it), A wooden basket thing...and a Lawn Chair. The best one being the lawn chair Because theres no crap drawings on it from friends.

Wood shop was removed when i started kindergarten at my school and then this year they removed sowing and cooking.

How dangerous can SOWING be?
On the topic of grades,I got my Report Card. Straight A's! But I barley made it out of spanish...
And now I know my Archery teacher actually grades. I got a 98 this time.

sowing was cut because someone got there finger stuck in the needle in the sewing machine. it went straight through there finger it happened two years ago. Also cooking was cut because of my schools budget cut, and sowing was cut because it had the same teacher as cooking.

There's a woodshop in my school, but sewing...no.

BTW, I wrote this sonnet for my English class. Do you mind reading it and giving me feedback?

Sonnet to a Lone Rose

The sky is pouring rain, I walk along
The weight of solitude hunching my back
I walk disgusted by the cheering throng
That laughs at the men living in the shack.

The presence of injustice walks the earth
And I have often challenged him to fight
The corrupt people, with a grotesque mirth
Point at me as I fall to his great might.

With agony I walk this road I chose
That strives for justice, with the cost of hurt
But on this lonely road’s a single rose
Solitary in the gross and wet dirt.

In the mirror I look and see this rose
And I do not regret this road I chose.

Poetry must be terminated!
*takes grenade launcher and destroys poetry*
but on a more serious note I hate poetry. my highest grade I got on graded poetry was a 70.

That's great, Grass! I had to do a few poems as a project one year. It's okay.
Do you guys want me to put the poem on?

I really like the poem because I can easily imagine it. It remind me of Robert Frost "The Road Not Taken". I don't know much about poems, but what is a sonnet?

I'll post them soon. Just gotta find them...
EDIT: Found them! Now, this was a while back. So, it might not be VERY good, or as awesome as Grass'.... but still. And my supah coo friend Jake helped me out, so thanks to him.

Super Smash Bros. Parallel Poem(Oh god here we go) 

Super Smash Bros. is Gangster 

Super Smash Bros. is world wide 

Super Smash Bros. is a colluge of characters 

Super Smash Bros. is a battle of battles 

Super Smash Bros. is a line drawn betweeen all wars

Super Smash Bros. is a truse that isn't a truse

Super Smash Bros. is a masterpeice 

Super Smash Bros. is better than anything 

Super Smash Bros. is a galaxy 

Super Smash Bros. is all that... and MORE! 

(NOTE: It has been changed so the words fit more. This isn't the ecxact same as the original)

Those poems are awesome Grass and Tropius. I've wrote poetry before but it's not as great as that. It's not exactly my thing. o.o

I don't bother writing poems since I can't rhyme, Nor write for that matter.

I hate writing because I have a hard time using my mind to think of ideas. I like it when people tell me what to do and when I don't have to come up with something to do. <_<

Awesome poem Tropius. Super Smash Bros is a classic game. I never like writing poems or writing in general. Which is why I get so stress out on essays.

We're doing in Poetry in English right now, I had to write 5 poems and then research a poet.

In English we just finished a novel study, so I think it's just more writing review.

Heres a poem I wrote a while back>


A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

With this post, I've finally hit the 2000th mark!

I am going to watch Hot Tub Time Machine tomorrow. I hope it is nice.

It doesn't look like a bad movie from what I've seen, so I'm kinda optimistic about it.
For me, the real deal is in mid-November when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 will be released. I seriously can't wait for it!

Today I came home and when I got to the back porch I noticed a squirrel on the canopy next to it. He then promptly jumped for the pole supporting the porch roof, hitting it face first, fell 6 feet to the ground in a few weeds, then ran to the tree across the yard.

Through the whole thing I was like

Been chilly around here. Not like it bugs me, It bugs everyone else how I come with now sweater, walk outside for 2 hours still warm. They think I'm crazy because of it...or maybe it was because I walked in with a stick I found outside.

Poor squirrel.

My brother's school just had a power outage because of a recent winter storm (that's Minnesota for ya'), and the only thing was....my school lasted through the harsh storm and I had to go to school while my brother had no school....which sucks...

I'm not really that excited for the new Harry Potter, but it's family tradition to go and see the new Harry Potter at the cinema. We've done it for every movie, we ain't gonna stop now. :3

My sister is absolutely obssessed with the Harry Potter series. Watches the movies every year, re-reads the books all the time, etc.

I liked the Harry Potter series, but my sister is an all-out fan, crying when

Sirius dies (he was her favorite character) and *giggle* when Hedwig died.
