I should really change mine. It's so plain.

I need to make a new siggy........what should I put on it??

Something spacey? I think of shooting stars and stuff when I think of your name.

Ooooooh! PRS you just gave me a great idea! Off to the work bench!

Whoa really? Good to hear it then. Good luck

Can't wait to see it MWM. My siggy looks too cheap...

So what's everyone been up to? I got grades today and ended up getting A's in Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, and P.E. and a B in Band and B- in Algebra 1.

Well, here are mah grades. o3o



I typed in the class names. 1 cycle is 6 weeks and we have 3 of those each semester for six 6-week periods each year. Currently we are 2 days into the 3rd six weeks.

Lol >_> My History grade is only low because that class is AP and at least 3 times harder than the others. Fortunately it's impossible to fail if you do the work, which I do.

I feel like my avatar is a bit old now, but I don't know what to change it to. I'll think about it later on. =P

Anyways, I've tried booking online tickets for Harry Potter 7 Part 1 tomorrow in a close mall, and it turns out all the tickets have been sold! I'm now trying to purchase tickets from a mall further away, as I've been told it has empty seats. Hopefully, I'll succeed and watch Harry Potter tomorrow.

I'm actually thiking about chaging my own avatar soon too but I'm not sure to what.

I'm sure you'll figure something out Mag! I might change mine aswell but i'm having the same problem.....what should I use???

To a Jirachi. lol

I'm gonna keep my avatar for a while since it's really not new and I like it. :3

Here's my grades right now:

Biology P: 101.2% (A+)
Tests are insanely easy, since the short answer questions are considered as extra points.
World Geography: 93% (A-)
Our teacher is an idiot. Well, not really, but she just doesn't know how to teach.
Chinese I: 98.3% (A+)
A very easy class. 'Nuff said.
Geometry Honors: 92.5% (A-)
A difficult class, even considering math is my strong point.
Marching Band: 92.5% (A-)
Another difficult class, but I can get by easier without too much trouble as Math.
English I Honors: 88.5% (B+)
English is not my strong point, and the class is difficult.

Since I have a month to finish the semester, I might be able to stretch a straight-A report card again.

So I called the cinema in the mall I mentioned last post, made a reservation over the phone for me and Spirit, and now we'll be watching Harry Potter tomorrow at 7:00 PM. Can't wait!

Today was a very busy day. We woke up and bought a sheep early in the morning. Then we sent it to a restaurant, where it got cooked for 4 hours with rice. We took it, as a whole, and went to the desert with all of our friends and stayed there all the day until night. The weather was really nice; not sunny, a cool breeze but the sand was fine. We played there and drove all the day. Driving was awesome, and the sheep was delicious!

On the way back home, we saw a person who got hit by a car and was dead. It was a bad thing to see.

It's funny how most people either have too little snow or too much snow. There's never a right amount of that stuff I guess. o3o

It snowed last year here down in Texas, and it was pretty hard the couple days that it did. Maybe it will again this year. It didn't stick to the ground last year but 2 years ago we actually were able to make a mini snowman because it did for a little while. :3

I did go to Japan during winter break. I swear, it seemed to be just the right amount. Enough to make a snowman, not enough to clog the streets, and it was a beautiful sight...I was so eager to jump into the snow and fire snowballs...and my plans were so intent on it...

...and then I got sick and had to stay inside doing nothing all winter break. >.>

I don't mind the amount of snow, it's just when I have to constantly shovel it is when I start to be ticked off. It also makes me mad when the snow is almost past my knee's and they still expect everyone to arrive on time at school.

I haven't seen any snow yet. But when snow does come to where I live, there are tons of it.

And SK, you are right. It's usually - not enough to close school for the day or too much to the part where I am forced to shovel my driveway for an hour.

1. We have a snow blower so there's no need for shoveling.
2. We got snow too! It's been snowing all day yet next to none of it stayed!
3. It went down to -20*C (That's -4*F for you who don't know what the heck I'm talking about.)

The temperature in my area has stayed around upper 30*F to lower 40*F... not enough to snow... lucky people are lucky....

Hm, it was 40 this morning and it's getting to be around 60-80 in the afternoons now, these are very good temperatures. But it will probably be colder in a few weeks, even.

I think these weather/temperature discussions should be kept to the "what's the weather like" thread, don'tcha think?

You guys are lucky. We get sandstorms here that sometimes are too strong that can get a man out of the ground. I saw snow once when I was in Lebanon. It was amazing. I built snowmen and played with my cousins with snowballs. The snow was so... AMAZING!
Now, I am stuck in Dubai, and the weather here is too depressing that we actually get excited when it rains! I know. That is stupid, but when you are living in a desert, it is not. I wish I can go to Lebanon in winter to see the snow, again. I wish.

I also noticed Fubab's comment about seeing dead people. I have seen a good number of dead people that now I am used to it, unfortunately. However, I find it strange that I still get mad when I see an animal getting killed by human.

It is inhumane to kill other humans, but I have seen multiple people getting hit by cars and getting dead, so I am used to it now. I have also seen many dead people in 2006 in Lbanon. They were torn to pieces.

I just returned from watching Harry Potter 7 Part 1, and it was AMAZING! I mean, it was so dark and evil yet there was plenty of humour in it, too. I think it's one of the best movies of 2010.

(Note that were some few, minor stuff which I didn't like in the movie, so that shows I'm not just giving a biased opinion.)

Now, I'm highly anticipating the last movie in the series, as it will be extremely spectacular with all the action in the final battle. It's going to be epic!

I need some help. Either I can go to a midnight showing of HP7, or not. What should I do? Sure, no tests tomorow, but I would not get a lot of sleep. Do you think I should go see the midnight showing, or not?

I say, just go watch Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. You can do whatever you want after watching it.

How many parts are going to be in HP7??

The review Shadow gave to Harry Potter 7 made me more excited to watch it. There should be lots of action to make up for Harry Potter 6 which I just watch. The movie was boring which barely have any action and mainly focuses on the romance. I was really mad at the ending because

After Snape killed Dumbledore the deatheater and him just ran off and Harry attempt weakly to kill Snape.

Well after a whole day of napping and tinkering with my computer that wouldn't start up. I finally got it to work. I hope it stays like this for the weekend at least.

This morning I woke up to (only) 1 foot of snow and -13*C weather. It wasn't so bad even with the wind and stuff, but some kids were treating it like it was the coldest day they've ever seen. That's not even close to how cold it gets! Anyways, I was passed my ankles in snow and it was in my shoes and stuff so now my shoes are all wet and probably will be for the rest of the day.

SoCali's finally getting something besides sun today! Looks like it's going to be cloudy all day, but it's supposed to rain over the weekend. Good thing too, it's been a while since our last rain storm.

Enjoy your snow and good weather guys. I'm still stuck here in hot and humid Singapore
D:

I just returned from a journey to another 'state' in the UAE with my relatives & friends (i.e, Spirit and his family) and we had a pretty good time. We sat at a restaurant/coffee shop which had a lot of amazing views, and thankfully the temperature was cool over there; it was something around 20 degrees Celsius or even less, so some of us actually had to put on jackets/blankets. I really enjoyed everything over there except for the fact that our parents took a long time to leave, as it started to get boring at the end.

I was really mad at the ending because Ending of the 6th movie     After Snape killed Dumbledore the deatheater and him just ran off and Harry attempt weakly to kill Snape. What really makes me mad is the ending. The book has a lot of action with battles but the movie there were none. The battle could have made the movie a lot more interested but instead it fell flat for me.

I managed to get out of school 2 hours early today!!

We were supposed to have a Pep Rally later (That I'm not going to) and since I was in the gym for 3rd period, my gym teacher asked me to help them clean out the Equipment room. I helped, so he then told me that I can go to Tim Horton's or somewhere else without being unexcused. and since Gyms my last class of the day...Yeah.

9 day weekend for me o3o

I plan to play Rock Band, Rock Band, and Rock Band

Ok, for a few weeks now i've been taking a "break" from P.E. I've been going into a one man bathroom at the other end of campus and just chilling for an hour and a half! I bring snack foods and even a little T.V to watch in there, but no good things last forever.....The principal had seen my attendance records for the past few weeks and had realised i'd been to every other class except "Phs- Ed" so he called me in and yelled at me for a LONG time I mean atleast 3 periods! After all of this he just let me go! He didn't even call my mom or anything no papers, no detentions. I wonder if I just got lucky, or was that really the punishment?

FINALLY! VACATION! *does a little dance*

...oh wait, I have Japanese School tomorrow.
...and community service hours.
...crud.

All that aside, I'm glad I get some unwinding...it feels like forever since I had a super-long vacation.

I woke up early today (Saturday) to go to my accounting class in school, only to find out that my teacher wasn't there, and the classroom door was locked. Great... Imma go drown my anger in hours of brawl.

In other news I saw HP7 last night, it was pretty good.

 It was mostly dialogue to enrich the story, not too many action scenes.

After watching Harry Potter 7 on Thursday, I can easily say that the movie was awesome. It is all packed with action and in the same time, humor. The whole spectators were clapping when the movie started and ended, and now and then, we used to laugh at the jokes and puns used to be said. It was really amazing. On the same day, and in order to make it a very Harr Potter-ish day, I bought the book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and I already finished 10 chapters. I can say that the book is much better than the movie. It is really nice and funny.

Yesterday, I went with Shadow and his family to the other state. Strangely, it was so uncivilized compared to Dubai. The weather there is obviously much better due to the fact that it is close to the sea and in the same time it is between a range of mountains. It was a nice day overall.

Not really, considering that from the very first moment, we were prepared to attacks in every moment. Can you tell me one single scene when they were talking and weren't threatened of being attacked and actually got attacked?

Off topic bug, but, I did see the HP7 at Midnight. Sure, I lost my sanity and fell asleep on the bus and in science, but it was worth it. The movie was great! Especially Doby. But,I hated it when

they killed him. WHY!!!!!!!

I decided to just go see HP7 later on tonight since everyone has given it such a great review! I hope it's as good as you guys say!

My sis is going to watch HP7 on Monday with her friends. I'm not really a movie-watcher, so yeah.

Now that I got today's business out of the way, so I've got a lazy vacation ahead.

This Thanksgiving I'm going to spend the entire morning at my school volunteering to start cooking the food for the homeless.

Last year I was the only one in my entire school from culinary to bother to volunteer so I was quite busy.

For the Thanksgiving weekdend, I plan to visit colloges and maybe volunteer at a local shelter. I have a lot of things to catch up and I am falling behind.

Today was a fairly good day; I had no homework and I so I only needed to study for the Business test tomorrow. I'm feeling quite worried about the mid-year exams because I have to remember all the stuff which I took in grade 9 for Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Business and ICT, the last two being the most difficult. :S

Today's a good day for me to catch a flu for once.

It's I love catching colds at the right time...which is almost never.

I have Physics test tomorrow which I studied quite well. I hope I get an A just for a change. :\

So, the exams timetable was launched in my school's website. I already prepared a schedule and will start studying on Wednesday. It is really going to be a hard task. My exams will start on the fifth of December, and it is like we have 2-3 exams per day. There are few days where there are exams of subject that I don't take, so I will be free. Nevertheless, I know that I will be leaving VR throughout the examination period, which isn't a good thing. :\

Well, that's for today!

Edit: Today happens to be the Lebanese Independence Day, so yeah, it is celebrated among Lebanese.

I am excited for this week. Going to an NBA basketball game tonight (Houston Rockets vs. Phoenix Suns) and I get to see Steve Nash play

Then tomorrow I am going to see HP7 with my friends, and I will sleep over at one of their houses that night. I will probably spend most of Wednesday at his house as well.

And then Thursday is Thanksgiving Definitely going to be a very fun upcoming few days

Stacked but enjoyable, Shadow. Lots of stuff to do ain't always a bad thing.

On Saturday I did a food drive with my Boy Scout troop. It was awesome going to peoples houses, taking their food, and talking to their cute puppies and kitties <3 One house even had three paper bags filled with food.

I was like <see attachment>

But when we went to one of the leaders' house to sort the stuff, it went a bit downhill.

First, they were counting wrong. I noticed that, and tried to fix their mistake. They yelled at me (Probably because I told them second graders were better at counting than them) but let me count for them.

Then the other boys, save for one who was taking the boxes to the truck, were busy eating donuts and talking like canadians ()

But that was the only bad part.

Haha, today's sharpie day at school. Everybody is running around in white shirts and holding assorted colours of sharpie markers. I've got 30 signatures and one... quite interesting thing somebody wrote. >w>
And then on the front it says "*Lick*".

and yet the funnest thing we've done all year was a drinking contest...and that wasn't even that fun....your lucky.

Just got back from the game and my team lost It was a good one though xD

Anyway I'm gonna be at my house for a couple hours tomorrow morning, then leave and not come back until late afternoon on Wednesday as I am going to a friend's house.

I just got back from the STUPID UPS store.... I yelled at like five workers for messing up my shipping......JAD you owe me!
They eventually told me to leave and come back when i'm "sober" apparently I was drunk when i'm not even of legal drinking age.....O_0

I wonder if they're worried about students getting high off them too.

Definitely PRS. I've been around them for extended periods of time and got pretty loopy, probably from all of the dead brain cells. xD

That's why they don't use them at my school.

I may miss another day of school from the cold, We hit below -40c. I think thats a new record for me so far.

We had a Physics test today, which was super easy. I am hoping for a good mark. Tomorrow I have Chemistry test. I hope it is easy.

So I've always wondered about this thing: why do schools put three different exams on a single day when they have a lot of time? Okay, two is acceptable because they're indirectly teaching students to handle a lot of work in a short period of time, but having three just kills them. Thankfully, we only have one day where we have three exams, but I still find the idea pointless. =/
