I opened a new savings account today. I wanted to get a checking so I won't have to bother my mom every time I wanted to get something online, but apparently banks don't do that for minors.

Well, now instead of having to have my dad sign withdrawal slips (Which he won't) I can withdraw from that account with my mom signing.

The Greater Rochester Area has gotten some nice weather lately. As far as I know, there's been no snow since early Spring!

Also I got Mega Man X yesterday. IT IS SO FUN.

Yesterday I taped a laser pointer to my airsoft gun. It's off-center (By a lot) so I'll have to think of a way to stabalize and calibrate it.



EDIT: Also when I was at the bank, I had the machine count my change, and I found out I had 10 cents in canadian money

Not sure how it got all the way down here though.

I honestly have no clue what to say today. Other than revising Chemistry for the mid-term exam, I did not do any other significant thing. I want to watch some movie during this weekend (if I'm able to), as it will be the last weekend I'll have before the exams. Actually, starting from today onwards, I'll be studying every single day until the 16th of December, which marks the beginning of our Winter Break. :S

I did nothing in school today because it was a half day and most of my teachers don't want to get ahead.

Also I'm not Maggyo Master not Magmar Master.

I've decided that posting in general more might raise my IQ. I hope I break 10 soon!

I'll just leave this up here for thanksgiving.

Quoting my self from the first grade;

I'm thankful for food because we would not have thanksgiving without it.

I am thankful that I have a camera so I take pictures of the Macy parade for the people who wants to see them. I will post it in my album. For Thanksgiving, I am planning to help my mom make curry, go to watch HP7, and go eat out since my family don't cook turkey.

I met a man today who was a very good basketball player today. He taught me some new skills, and I already started practicing them.

I never expected browsing the Internet on a phone and posting from it, even with a full QWERTY keyboard, to be this uncomfortable. Maybe I got used to desktops/laptops too much? =I

Today I went to Target and got Other M for $35.

I also went to a BJ's that opened today, the place is huge! I also applied for a job there and seems to have a lot of other openings.

I am currently Wandering with applications at various places, Hoping to get one.

I don't really have time to apply for a job.

On top of school work, I have Winter Drumline practice Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Not to mention the occasional "Drumline Camp" which lasts all day on Saturdays. And there are the competitions every other Saturday.

I can't apply for a job until Spring, but I'm not too sure on how many people would employ a fifteen year old. It seems like you have to be at least sixteen to get accepted anywhere.

I started studying! D:

I am done with Physics, Chemistry and half of Business. Exams will start in a week. That's terrible.

So I am done with three subjects now. I need to see what I have to study tomorrow...
I watched Kung Fu Panda today. It is one of the best animation ever released. I really liked it.
Did I ever mention how much I hate factorizing quadratic expressions?!

So like, we have a holiday on Wednesday due to the UAE's National Day, and our exams have been postponed till December 6th so that we get Sunday off, too. This gives us a four-day weekend to revise thoroughly for our first exams, which should be quite helpful.

I've just watching random documentaries on random things. Not sure why, but they keep my boredom down.

Scrolling through channels, trying to find something to watch.

This time I actually signed a pact with myself to stop posting in /b/uizel so much (among other things). I hope this one lasts.

So I got my Algebra I Unit 2 Test today and I got 23/25 with a 92%. It raised my grade a bit in that class so I'm glad.

Today has been a really rough patch for me, considering my vacation just ended today.

It's so cold today, especially with the wind chill factor working. My first class was being rowdy as usual, and in that class I realized I forgot my pencilcase. Luckily I found a small pencil in my backpack.

Next, the concepts that I've been being taught in Geometry Honors are starting to confuse me. It doesn't seem too difficult, but there's so much vocabulary for me to sink in in one day. Then the teacher breaks to us that our final exams are going to be taken before Winter Break, which really irritated me.

Then, in my after school program, I got fed up with my Math instructor. When I'm stuck on a problem, he always refuses to help, no matter how long I've been stuck on a problem. Then there's the other Math instructor who does help, but gives me a 5-minute-long lecture while doing so. I was stuck in that building for one and a half hours, compared to the usual 50 minutes.

Now I have a Biology test tomorrow, and this week is gonna be really busy for me because I have a Japanese proficiency test coming up (この試験はすごく難しいです）on Sunday, and its extremely difficult. Especially when you have to memorize 1315 vocabulary words along with proper grammar and proper sayings in certain situations, along with a listening and speaking session.

Hence, I'm not sure how active I will be. It's been a long day today, so I'm on for most of the night today, but tomorrow I won't be as free as well as Wednesday, and even Thursday. Things are gonna be tough for me from here on until the exams are over.

今日と明日と明後日…すごく難しいと思うけれど、ぼくは頑張らなくていけない！
(Today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...I think it's going to be tough, but I cannot give up!)

Well people thought I was silly in Gym class.
We had to play squash. But since there were only 5 courts. We had to split it between us. While me and someone else were waiting for a court to open up, I went to the bag full of goggles I could put on my in front of my eyes. I got 15 on.
My gym teacher said this: "He's like that one Don't Drink and Drive ad where they keep putting glasses in front of the driver, Just like 'Don't Drink and play Squash'."

GPFTW, you will be fine Don't feel bad about inactivity because school > VR

Good luck with the exams.. I actually have mine AFTER Christmas. xD Fail.

Phew, finally.. I'm back from my 4 day long school trip :/

Mann im tired..

Welcome back. How was the trip?

I got my Physics test back today with a mark of 95%. That is great, but one of my mistakes was a question I misread. I hate when that happens. :\

I also won the final round of the badminton tournament in the school. This is the first time I actually participate in a tournament/contest/event in my life. It is good that I actually won it. I assume it is going to be the last as well.

During the basketball match today, I got hit with the basketball in my face. My eye got injured, but it recovered quite soon. My nose, however, didn't recover, and it might take a couple of days to recover. It started bleeding when I reached my house and the mark is still there. I think that the major part of the hit was on my head, since as soon as I came back home, I got a headache and went to sleep. It is nice when you sleeping ignoring the IT exam that is coming and is so HUGE.

Today, I returned back exhausted from school due to my PE lessons, slept on the couch in my school uniform and then, after 1 hour and 30 minutes, woke up to my little brother's noises. You know what? Screw studying. I am not bothered to study any of the remainder subjects for my mid-year exams today, so I'll resume this tedious task tomorrow.

Speaking of school, I felt so happy today upon receiving my Physics test back; I was relieved to learn that I got a 98% on it, which is the highest mark in grade 10. Hopefully, I'll be able to score A's in all my mid-year exams, but it's a much more difficult job comparatively. Due to this, I'll be abandoning VR starting from Sunday until they finish on the 16th of December. :S

Well done on your physics tests, guys! And good luck on your mid-year exams!

Today was a strange day. I woke up to a small bit of snow, hardly enough to make a snowball, however. Later on, about an hour into school it snowed really heavily. I dare not leave the IT suites during breaks for fear of getting a snow-covered rock to the head. Not only that, but simply walking around school was dangerous, the floor was covered in slush and ice. We still had to go the whole day, and getting home wasn't easy, either. :I

I figured out how to program my calculator. So far I only have the quadratic formula and planning the pythagoream theorem. Anyone know any other trigonometry formulae I should add?

I was able to finish reading for my IT exam without sleeping. It is such an achievement! I will be studying Biology tomorrow. It is easy, I believe.

Our school celebrated the UAE National Day today, since tomorrow (the actual day) is a holiday for all the citizens across the country. The celebrations weren't particularly spectacular, but the day in itself was a lot of fun; we missed many classes and actually went outside in our Math lesson, where we played soccer against our teacher. I also got to say a speech made by the head of building on the occasion because I'm the Literary Club Chairperson. It wasn't exactly interesting, but at least I contributed towards the event in some way.

As I was standing outside school at the end of the day, waiting for someone to pick me up, loads and LOADS of people fell over on a patch of ice near me. It was VERY funny! Someone wheeled a bike across it and fell, someone was carrying a lasagne in a tin and fell, someone even had a guitar and amp and fell! xD They were all right, but it was a blast to watch!

And yes, I slid around on it, and yes... I fell over, too!

Lol sounds like a good laugh, Nin.

I like London actually (in terms of the city). The Big Ben and all the old-fashioned buildings. I love them. Also, it is the country of Sherlock Holmes! How can't I like London?! Honestly, Dubai is too advanced. Although we had like streets where buildings are over 100 floors and the longest tower in the world, but the thing is, that they are too advanced that you can't see the amusement of agriculture in it. I don't really like that. Maybe it is because I am living in Dubai so I don't find it that entertaining.
But seriously, Canada is cool as well. I have seen a lot of pictures where snow is so thick. I will go to Canada (and Britain) one day; when I grow up, and when I get some money in my wallet.

I have been watching for the last two hours videos for Ray William Johnson. With no argument, he has the best videos in youtube. I love his videos. I will continue them tomorrow, and I advice those who don't watch them to do so.

On a weather related note, it started to snow in my town. The only problem with it is the wind kept blowing the snow into my eyes as I was walking home.

In Connecticut we're basicly having the same storm but in rain since it's 59F outside.

Looks like Global Warming is real.

*looks outside* It's been sunny around here, but it's getting pretty cold around here. While we haven't been getting much rain, there's supposed to be a small storm hitting us over the weekend.

I wish it snowed over here. That would be so freakin' epic.

I have a rough draft for a hamlet essay due tomorrow.


I'll just play COD for now.

Today was CRAZY! My cousins and I joined in the celebration of the National Day at a main street by a famous lake, and the people there were all maniacs; EVERYONE was spraying other peoples' cars or bodies with snow sprays and buying numerous bottles at the same time from supermarkets. We were literally going around the streets and spraying people and their cars while we got covered in spray, too. The situation was so ecstatic and soon enough almost everyone we walked beside had sprays in their hands. We especially enjoyed spraying girls on the street or in their cars and hearing them scream/laugh out of complete mess and excitement. XD

At the end, and after about an hour, the police came and cleared away the huge traffic jam, stopping every person/car from using sprays or confetti. They kept on monitoring the street and its common divisions even after we left my uncle's house and returned back to our peaceful area. If I was actually bothered or even able to take pictures of the street which was covered in so much confetti and spray remains, I would've shown you guys how crazy the situation was.

Since I am living in an area which is considered of a high status than other areas, most of the celebrations were here. Unfortunately, we were out, and due to the unbelievable amount of traffic jam, we couldn't reach our house. Eventually, we left the car and went back home on our feet. I hate such days...

We didn't read Caeser, we only watched the movie. Still good, though.

Our teacher actually gave us a Youtube link to watch a three-part, fast-paced version of Julius Caesar to help us visualize what's going on. I still haven't had a look at it, though.

Sigh, gotta wake up early tomorrow (Saturday) for detention D:

8am till 3pm..

Ouch. That gotta sucks. I hate waking up early especially for AP on 7:30 at school. Plus I am really tired this week with all the school stuff and the play. I plan to take a few naps in the weekend even though I don't normally nap.

I only got a detention twice in my school; the first time was in grade 8, where I accidentally pulled the chair from under another student and he got hurt. The teacher in the detention room was our English teacher who favoured me a lot, so he allowed me to eat and talk and do whatever I wanted. The other time was in grade 9, where I, along with Spirit and a couple of our friends, wrote our names on the gym floor during an assembly out of boredom. While the others had to scrub at the names because they were caught first, Spirit and I were called later because one of our friends complained that the 'good students' always don't get punished. Fortunately, they had already cleaned what we wrote when we arrived, so we didn't have to do it in front of any students. However, we still had to write our names in four columns on eight papers during the activity lesson and break time. XD

Here's my Hamlet Essay rough draft. Tell me what you think.

1 attached file

The Guise of Madness.doc

I once got a one-minute detention in 8th grade for saying, "You spelled graham crackers wrong" during a test. It was really random.

When I got a detention one time, I had a bag of chips and was trying to eat them. The teach flipped out, Yelling at me saying I didn't deserve snacks in it...Despite the person next to me was in detention was eating a sandwich.

I never have actually gone to detention per se...'cause I've been a good boy.
No, seriously, I don't know why I've never been to detention. I was really rowdy back when I was in elementary school. D:

Ohhh man.. 7 hour detention... MADNESS.

Well at least my detention monitor wasnt the brightest bulb in the box, and I had me some Pokemon Black to keep me company

In grade 4 I was forced to stay in countless times from recess because I forgot to get my mom to sign my agenda. It was actually part of one of my plans because one, I was always bullied at recess and two it was winter I didn't want to freeze like the others. I got in big troble last year for sayin "Too bad" under my breath to myself. We had a sub who had it out for us, truthfully. He told us to behave I muttered "Too bad" and landed a near expulsion when he told me VP I said "Eff that". Fortunately I'm not on the naughty list so they believed me instead of that bafoon.

I got one detention in my life and that's the one Shadow mentioned. It wasn't bad actually, and we enjoyed it making fun of our P.E teacher.
