I've never been too competitive about SSBB anyways, and I knew I wouldn't make it to the finals. Nevertheless, I still wanted to join the tournament in order to participate more in extra events in the forums. I almost had Sunny in our match, but the lag made my moves predictable and so he was able to beat me by one stock in both the matches.
|
What was funny was it kept duplicating me in Chat when I just wanted to tell it to stop duplicating me.
|

|
You missed a lot of stuff happening, actually. The only bad thing was the lag, but otherwise the tournament atmosphere was amazing (at least for me).
|
|
I don't have SSBB so I don't think I would find anything amusing.
|
|
I don't participate since my Wi-Fi is horrible. That and I prefer to play games in my room, and I can't move the Wii there since I share it with my brother. That and I can't find Brawl fun for some reason. Maybe it's the fact I have no one to play it with...ever...

...Sup gaiz? o3o Just got back from Disney World.
'Twas pretty fun except the long waits in the park as well as the 15 hour car ride there and back, but oh well. I finished Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs on the way back. Also, I broke part of my DS, but it still works. The top right part where the light is broke, so only the left hinge is holding my DS together, along with some nicely working electric tape.
Once again, I am amazed at the durability of Nintendo products. :3
Also. I got Japanese candy in Disney World.. And it was WIN. I shall upload pics of the DS and candy later. That is all for now.. xD

Welcome Back SK!
I can't ask how it was since...well, You already explained. Also You should've seen my first DS, it barely stayed together and yet still worked for another year before I finally decided to buy a new one. ![]() |
Definitely a strong point of Nintendo. :3|

Today is the last day of 2010. We are already going out. I wanted to go to Burj Khalifa where it is going to be celebrated by the first second of 2011, but my parents didn't agree. I will see how I will spend this evening, but yeah, we are already going out in the first place.

|
Welcome back SK. There is no need to tell us that Disney World is nice. We already know that.
|
|
Aha, I did notice you were gone, but I didn't know where you went. Welcome back.
|
Thanks anyway. xDHappy new year everybody! ![]()
My countries new year (GMT +8) happened about 7 hours and 20 minutes ago. Great party at my friends house. After party was great too, played FIFA 11 till the early morning. At about 6 am (1 hourish ago), instead of sleeping, I just decided to walk to a MacDonalds, have breakfast and walk home.
|
My DS has been thrown exactly 0 times and its hinge is broken. I hate frail equipment. -_-
|
Yeah, it kinda sucks that school is on Monday. But it actually isn't that bad for me, because all we'll be doing for the next 2 weeks is studying for semester exams and taking them. And fortunately, there are only a couple of them that I'm worried about. I won't have very much homework next week but to study, and then I just have too take 7 tests the next. I believe we also get a 4 day weekend after our exams, AND on Tuesday-Thursday the week of our exams we get out early. Exam week is not so bad after all. 
Well, tomorrow (Sunday) and Monday are not going to be as bad as Tuesday and Wednesday, as we're going to get our mid-year exam papers on these two days. D:
The subjects which I'm really afraid of are English Language, English Literature and Business. It's not the papers themselves that were hard (that's one of the reasons, though not the main one); the teachers are going to be marking them very strictly to prepare us for our external IGCSE exams next year. =/
I feel lucky my school doesn't give exams until the end of the year. Yes, I know that's really odd so don't ask why they do it because I don't know. Next year when I move schools however, I'll be just like you guys and have all these wonderful exams throughout the year. :/
I'm actually not scared of them though, because I happen to not dislike tests.

It kind of depends on how you interpret 'tests' or 'exams' and how often you get them. To me, I dislike both of them with special emphasis on exams; there's often a lot of work involved in exams, and the nervousness which they bring is really unbearable. Plus, getting three exams per one day is just too much for a student to handle.
|
So I got all my exam papers and let us say... bleh. I think I got the worst marks so far. Most of them are in 80s and they are just unusual. It seems I am losing my touch. My parents don't know that I had review of papers, and I didn't bother to tell them. Eventually, they will know by Saturday since report cards will be given then. Until that time, I am going to enjoy my life, since I am afraid my laptop would be taken from me when my marks are revealed. I have to prepare a speech now so that I defend myself and have a strong points against them while arguing.

In grade 8 we did take an exam that had 187 questions, but it really wasn't that hard.
Most of my tests are about 3-5 pages long and take me about 1 or 2 classes to finish. French tests are different however, it's an oral test s all we have to do is learn a paragraph and recite it with perfect pronunciation and not miss any lines.
|
Interestingly, I believe I have received the best batch of marks ever in my school. Here's a list of my grades:
-*English Language: 88% -*English Literature: 86% -Mathematics: 98% -Biology: 99% -Physics: 96% -Chemistry: 90% -Business Studies: 96% -Arabic Language: 98% -Theology: 96%-98% (mark being changed) -ICT: 96% -P.E: 94% (Subjects marked with asterisks (*) are the ones which were marked exactly as external examinations, including being highly strict about the slightest details. When we asked our teachers whether these marks accurately reflect our likely results in the external exams next year, they told us that we will probably get higher results then. This just shows how strictly they were marking the papers now.) To my extreme and indescribable delight, I got the highest grades among all 10th graders in most of the subjects mentioned above. Therefore, I feel that my hard work during the examination time really paid off now, and I hope that I maintain this pace throughout the year. |

O MAI GAWD
Good job Shadow.
My tests don't begin until next week. Luckily, we have what the school calls an Exam break. It's just instead of going to school every day during exams, you only have to go on days you have an exam. That means I have to go Wednesday next week, and then Wednesday 2 weeks later for my only two tests, the other days I get off. And The break continues until February.
|
Guys, hello? I am stuck here! Most of my marks are B's and my parents are not going to like that for sure. I want some help in explaining my situation on Saturday otherwise they might take my laptop...
|
|
Shadow you are the smartest person I've ever seen *Bows down in honour*
|
|
Great job earning those grades Shadow! That's pretty impression you have one of highest scores in your grade. I never knew you can take Theology in your high school. Usually you can take it in college.
|
|
Holy ****. I am extremely impressed. Blows my grades out of the water.
|
Thanks Anathema. ![]()
Just when I was feeling kind of underappreciated because my parents did not show evident delight with my grades, they surprised me by saying that they will be giving me about $450 as a reward for them! This also excludes the money to buy Black later on, so I am feeling extremely happy right now. ![]()
|
Yeah, they are always A's with 3 B's for P.E, English Literature and English Language. Although I studied well this term, I just didn't concentrate enough while doing the exam or I ran out of time because I either wrote slowly or dozed off looking at the clock hand for minutes. I already have the papers, but I didn't show my parents. I am screwed if I don't justify my case properly. <_<

Darn, Shadow, you're getting the amount of money I've saved as of yet in one day.
|
|
Aside from that there don't seem to be any interesting films until April unless you want to see Justin Beiber's movie.
|
I also promised that I will improve and all this whatnot. It took me an hour, but I was able to convince them. |
The next film coming out that seems interesting to me would be the Green Hornet.

We met my Maths teacher, and my previous Maths teacher. Both of them praised me quite well, and even more than needed that my dad, who happens to prefer maths over anything, was too glad with what they said. I was saved.
|
|
Of course, I had a whole argument before the PTM with both my parents. I started telling them about how Einstein used to fail in Maths.
I also promised that I will improve and all this whatnot. It took me an hour, but I was able to convince them. |
And thus begins hell Final Exam week (and a half).
I started my computer programming final yesterday. I'm stuck and I have no idea how to finish the program portion. So if Spongebob can pass the oral exam of his boating test and fail the actual driving portion, that must mean that I'm going to get a 100% on the written portion! Amirite? ...No?
I'll be starting my World History final today. The teacher literally showed us the final (without any answers filled in, of course) and gave us two whole days to study it and see if there are any questions we don't know the answer to, and look it up in the textbook, so I shouldn't have any problems with that one (c'mon, daddy needs a new pair of shoes an A!)!
I think I also have my Wellness final today, but that class is uber-easy and there is no way I could possibly fail it.
The rest of the finals are next week.
I'm seriously at risk of failing Trig right now. I have a C-. If I don't pass the final, I'm screwed. Better make like TSoT and prepare my speech...
1 – Shiny|
Yes boy, start preparing it for the the upcoming hell. However, not that I want to frustrate you, my marks were slightly higher than C-, so you most probably will face a harder time convincing your parents than me. However, as an advice, just say that Einstein failed in Maths, and that every smart person must have his downfall for at least one time. That can be helpful, trust me.

GAH, MY LIFE IS SUCKING RIGHT NOW.
I've been getting A's since 6th grade, and I don't wanna stop now, but my chances of getting an A- in English are slim to none. With a total of two tests left (A lit. test on the play Antigone and the English final) I am very close to getting my first B+ in a while.
My current grade took a beating when my two important essays came back at an 87% (OK, I suppose) and a 76% (Not very good), thus dropping my grade to an 88.96%. Based on calculations, I must get a 100% on the Antigone test and a 98% or better on the final to get an A- in the class (as my teacher doesn't round our scores). Plus, the English final is a total of 185 questions, far longer than any test I've ever taken.
Aggh, it feels like my hard work is blowing up in my face now. >.<

I have a French essay due on January 27th and it's worth 100 marks. If anything happens to that essay and I don't do good (which won't happen) I'd like, fail French.
It's supposed to get harder? It's been getting easier for me. X3|

Due to the lovely network errors yesterday, I wasn't able to log on to VR at all. I tried to refresh the page many times, closed the tab and re-opened it, reset my router and restarted my computer but with no success. I just gave up after all that. xD
Anyways, today we got a lecture from "The Princeton Review" about the SAT, the common requirements for universities (including both British and American) and even went over sample SAT questions. I thought that the lecture was excellent, as many of us were in doubt and confusion as to what certificates/qualifications we should have for entering university.
|
(Perhaps I should also bring up the fact that my parents sucked more at math than me.)
Also, my Wellness final wasn't today. It isn't until next week, along with the rest of my finals. |

Shadow's grades - The Chuck Norris Grades
Mah grades - magicraps |

Damn it. These three weeks that are coming are going to be one of the busiest weeks of this year. I have an ICT (Information & Communication Technologies which is harder than IT) project. I have to make a chart or a board where I need to speak about something related to ICT. Yes, nothing specific. It is really hard to get a topic, and our teacher is so strict and ambitious when it comes to content. Thankfully, it is due to the 30th of Jan. Then, I have for next week an assignment about the play of Julius Caesar for English Literature. The good thing about it is that he didn't specifically ask for essays, but any kind of way to show the main theme of the play. I am going to draw, but I am still not finalized when it comes to what I should specifically draw. I think I should start from tomorrow morning. Now the worst of all is the Business Fair, in which we have to prepare a business project and demonstrate it in a fair, where you can actually sell your items. We also got to do an international-based debate. It is a very nice day, but preparing for it is really hard. Shadow and I have to finalize our idea and finish it. We will be having the fair on the 28th of Feb. Thankfully, we won't be studying any Business for the upcoming weeks, until the fair is over. Of course, I have got several tests in this whole mess. What in the world am I supposed to handle?! :\

I got my grades today, guys.
I ended up with A's in Language Arts, Science, Band, and PE, B- in Algebra 1, and a C- in Social Studies. Renaissance period = Hate</3
I didn't get that good marks in my 'Scholarly' grades, cause according to my teachers, my social skills are a little too good and I barely do my homework. =p

*posts exam/semester grades because it seems like everything else is doing it*
The first grade is my exam grade and the one after the slash is for the semester. 
Art 2 Drawing: No exam/97
Algebra 2 PreAP: 89/91
Biology PreAP: 99/92
Communication Applications: 91/94
Spanish 2: 83/91
World History AP: 82/82
English 2: 91/92
I'm surprised about Biology, though. o3o Didn't think that it would be my best exam grade. And I'm happy that I got a B in my AP class. 
Today, I woke up to find myself heavily affected by a flu. I just took a couple of different pills and medicines as prescribed by a doctor, and my fever has started to go down a little bit. My eyes are burning and tearing like crazy, though, and my nose is still very runny. =S

Those grades look great to me. Well done. |
Jus' sayin'Sorry you got sick Shadow, get well soon!
I have finals next week and juggling 2 projects at once. I will not be on the computer next week to study (and to keep myself from going insane) and to balance out between myself and the computer. Lately I have been attached to the souless machine and it's started to affect my school preformance and my lifestyle.

Weird that Americans call it grades but everyone else in the world calls it marks.
That and math(s).
Whenever I think "pane" like windowpane, I think of the pain associated with some dude scratching his nails against a windowpane/chalkboard.
You know when you feel like you want to explode and temporarily leave this world to relieve your mind? You know when you get a strong urge to punch something so hard to express how you're feeling right now?
Well, those feelings summarize my reaction towards the huge pile of work which I have to do during the course of the coming weeks. As if the list of stuff to do which I posted last page wasn't enough, we're also getting an Arabic Language test, Physics test and Biology test before the end of this month! =/
I gotta study for finals soon. Ew. Luckily, I can stretch my final priority out based on my grades, like so:
Current Grades.....................................Final Exam Priority
Prd 1: Biology P (101.69% - A+)..............Low
Prd 2: Wld. Geo. (94.32% - A).................Medium
Prd 3: Chinese I (100.00% - A+)..............Low
Prd 5: Band II (94.66% - A)....................Medium
Prd 6: Eng.Honors(89.22% - B+)..............High

It started to rain few minutes ago. It is not like a lot of rain, but I hope it becomes heavy soon. I really want a rain day so that we can get a holiday. I am already fed up with school. >_<

IGCSE Mock examinations start in a month and a weeks time.. Sigh.. but instead of studying, I, of course, find myself playing Pokemon Black at midnight ._.
