So I have to go to the middle school tomorrow and help clarinets for districts. I HATE IT!! We have high school districts preparation tomorrow as well, AND a cheerleading practice, plus make-ups in marching band. HOW AM I GOING TO DO ALL THAT AT THE SAME TIME!!!

Dang guys, look at the amount of replies on this thread...

IT'S OVER 9,000!

GREAT DAY IN SCHOOL TODAY. <- Damn caps. xD

Today was picture day, a lot of people complemented me.

9005 and counting isn't it, also this is my first ever post here.

anyways, Phantom that's good that you had a good day at school, speaking of which, I want to attend college one day, probably never happen, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO.

Hoping for another good day in school

I'm learning to draw now. I got writing down and voice acting, now I need to complete the set.

I got my PSN hacked. Got it back though. WIN!

I had an interview with the Headmaster today as I applied for a Senior Prefect. It was quite spooky, but I think it ended up well, or that's what I hope.

Got Gears of War 3 on Monday. Queued for 5 hours to get it :/
Finally finished it today, twas awesome. Other than that, I'm trying to clear up the flood of school work I have before the weekend (cause I got work en stuff). Curse you IB, you're ruining my life.

No evening AP Biology lab for me tonight!

Woohoo, passed my AP U.S. History test and I'm no longer failing

So I got my tooth bloodied up during a free concert at my college tonight.

First time moshing to heavy metal.

gj Kero.

today I filled out an application form for a job, I hope I can get this job. a little extra money.

So after an almost-finished weekend full of homeworks and preparation for tests, I can now say I'm pretty excited about the upcoming Monday. The school staff members and management will be announcing the leadership team for the academic year, and like Spirit, I gave an interview last Thursday. However, I applied for the Headboy position instead of Senior Prefect, so my odds are much harder yet more rewarding if things work.

The football game was moved, my competition was cancelled. I hate rain.

It's funny how in some bathrooms, everything is hands-free and motion-detecting to prevent contact and contamination; the toilets, the sinks, the soap, paper towels, air-driers, etc... Everything except the door, which defeats the purpose of having all those hands-free devices in the first place.

Some of these automatic/hands-free things in bathrooms actually make sense. But there's one thing I don't get: the automatic soap dispenser.

Who cares if you get germs on your hands from touching a soap dispenser? If you're using soap (which is what happens when you use a soap dispenser), wouldn't all of those germs be washed away anyways? If anyone can find a way that it reduces the spread of germs, please tell me.

The hands-free thingies are kinda annoying, more often than not I stick my hands under the automatic sink and nothing comes out for the first few seconds, or I have to wave my hands first. It's still more responsive than Kinect though.

Our girls' bathroom is totally automatic, but the guys' bathroom is totally manual. It's really strange. I think they're saying girls are more important.

Also, I officially decided to quit marching band next year.

Yesterday, I was appointed as a Senior Prefect in my school. That sure is going to be cool with skipping classes and enjoying a lot of privilege. 8)

DEPUTY HEAD BOY 2011-2012!

Sorry, just had to get this out of me! The school headmaster and staff chose me as the Deputy Head Boy yesterday, which is the second highest rank in the whole school after the Head Boy position. The announcement was a shocker, since pretty much everyone (except myself!) expected me to become the Head Boy based on my studies, popularity and achievements (no ego, I swear). However, I'm happy with what I landed and I believe I will have a little more free time to study for my IGCSEs, which are the most important aspect of this year. Still, I'm going to work so hard to prove that the school made the wrong decision!

So I just got invited by this program called, "People To People" to go and study in France, Italy, and Greece in the summer of 2012.
I'm really confused right now about it. A part of me says to take hold of this great opportunity, but the other part of me says to stay here. /:

O_e We have a mouse in our house. All of our neighbors have tennis rackets and nets, and are patrolling our house. xD My sisters are cowering on the couch.

I still hate school, it is too much work. The only class that is fun is Band.

School has so far been average, but things are getting fu~un...

I have a kid in my guitar class who keeps poking me and farting. His breath smells like raw sewage. Honestly my days in school suck cause of him.

He's umm... ''special.''

He doesn't have an aid. The teacher and all of us just call him Shtangy. He watches him like a hawk.

My band director is having a baby. Everyone is making a big deal, but I'm only interested in when he's taking his paternity leave.

Got donuts today for raising the most money. YAY DONUTS!

We had a Physics test last Thursday about electricity, which was actually hard. Yet our teacher considered it easy and promised a very hard exam for the midyears. I feel like stabbing myself. :@

Electricity is nice, but we have been rushing through it recently, and it proved to be rather confusing when not understood well, especially when it comes to circuits with e.m.f, current and resistance.

I have a 5-7 page research essay in my english class due by next Monday, and it is BRUTAL. It's on a book we're reading called Brave New World, and the book is such a pain to read. And on top of that, we have a test this Friday for the first 14 or so chapters of the book. They will be basic "did you read" questions, but that doesn't make it any easier for me since I have problems comprehending what is going on in the book. =/

I got my report card. Only thing I need to say is thank god for weights on AP classes.

So it has been raining non-stop for about 7 or so hours over here.
I actually don't mind rain. I really love it for some reason.

We got to have a student vote for local MPP's.

It's been quite a while since I last posted here (or visited the forums, for that matter). I've been keeping busy with all the school work, and so far grade 11 seems to be a very tough year. Take our last chemistry test, for instance: it was about organic compounds, and pretty much all students expect to fail/get a low grade. However, we like to convince ourselves that it's all about the IGCSEs next May/June, not these tests...

5 or so music projects later and about twice as many unfinished summaries, essays, and other assignments later, I cleaned my e-mails out for the first time in over two weeks.

Flatter me.

I always delete all Facebook and Victory Road messages as soon as I open them, but I still have 3120 messages in my inbox. Is there a need for me to get rid of some of them? I don't recall there being a limit to the number of emails one can have in their inbox, but I might be wrong.

Heh, I stayed up too ****ing late again, all my friends went to sleep already, but I guess I have insomnia sometimes so it probably wouldn't have made a difference.

Headed back down to New York for the long weekend.

God the amount of suck that gets put into Vermont.

Today was the best day In my Cooking Class. I got to make small muffins. However, the teacher tried making cake in a mug, but ended up burning the vake. When it came out, smoke just blastes the entire place. We couldn't make cake in a mug because she made that mistake. I blame her using a microave.

Sup guys.
I'm visiting for a short while, checking out the changes that have been made since I've left.

Im kindaish backish... I have a lot of things to do in school including sports, school, homework, and just plain old chillin' wit friends so yea, ill be back a couple times, but not as active as before... Also; Lost much interest into pokemon

*Sigh...* I feel like I missed a lot since my absence.

One thing I am learning is that the college experience will NEVER compare or match up to a grade school experience....

I'm really struggling with college. It's kinda depressing. It's mainly the algebra that I suck at. I understand Linear equations with the X variable in them, but when they add that Y variable, they lose me every time. This to most people is the simple stuff... which makes it frustrating that in order to get to the classes I want to get to, (Graphic design/ Video game design, etc.) I have to pass this algebra class...

About to go chill with a few old friends for a good 6 hours and play a bit of Brawl for once in my life.

God how I've missed New York.

Hm, I was gonna go to New York. But it had to be canceled, so now I'm stuck on a computer.

I WANTED TO GOOOOOO

Simultaneous equations were not as difficult for me as quadratic equations; I especially hate the word problems of the latter, as they always confuse me. However, with grade 11 lessons, I've become more comfortable at solving/factorising quadratic equations, which is enough for now I believe. I really want to score an A* on my Maths IGCSE next May/June, even though it might not be as easy as I'm hoping...

Oh how I hate word problems. They always confuse me.
Math and words don't mix together.

I like word problems because they bring to light applications of the concept, and because they make it easier to visualize the problem. It also makes it easier to determine if your answer is correct, because if you get 896 mph or -53 mph for the speed of a car, then you instantly know you're not doing it right.
