Better than last time.

This time, my break consists of absolutely NO math homework! But plenty of HISTORY... Grrrr. >:(
I haven't written for a while because, well, first of all, I kind of forgot to, and second of all, I just didn't. I know. Wonderful reasons, no?
Friday- History homework, sat around-ish, not much, watched the TV for the first time in about a month or something like that
Saturday- more homework, finished my Science outline (finally!), went to the mall and got really, really bored with my family, disappointed that I didn't find a red shirt with yellow stars on it, hated the mall because we went to the stupidest stores, went to tennis with three of my coworkers (who work for me:)
Sunday- I'm not quite sure. Ummm... Read most of Night by Elie Wiesel, got scared, no piano lessons (I wasn't scared of not having piano lessons. I was scared of the book because it was really... scary.), debated with a few friends on the internet because this kid (who one of my friends met at a Pokemon convention in IL) suddenly insulted Atheism, got very tired of the internet
Monday- Today!, found out that the MAO practice is Tues. and Fri. from 3-5, found out that the MVC can come on Thursday, got bored with History (for the (g-1)th time), found out that the MVC has tennis lessons on Thursday and so therefore probably won't come until after lunch, he got grounded for today for hitting his sister with a pillow by the way, talked to Diana for way too long, new piano piece that is quite queer, I probably can't play it correctly, and now I'm typing this.
Tuesday- the MAO practice
Wednesday- blah.
Thursday- PING-PONG with different people for once!
Friday- the other MAO practice
Saturday- FU Invitational in Gainesville
Sunday- last day of Spring Break
They must hate us. Spring Break is so short.
Monday- School resumes. And resumes. And resumes. And we're going to have to start studying for State which is absolutely inconceivable (hah- that word reminds me of The Princess Bride. We watched it after an orchestra concert in middle school. It was hilarious.) because we have to learn even MORE... *cramming sessions*

Loading...

I finally watched all three of those YouTube videos. The latter two were really weird.
The first one was definitely the best, so if your internet is kps-challenged like mine, then watch that one. The other two aren't really worth watching (in my opinion).
During the last minute of school in my science class on Thursday, the 200th theorem was completed.
Thanks to all who have contributed:
Me
VP
HOUSE
MVC
EIA (Who won the district history fair in Individual on his birthday AND has a Wii now!!!)
Bogey
Par ((Theorem 184: Junio no es inteligente.) I had to correct him because he started out writing "June es no inteligente." Then, he forgot to change "June" to "Junio". It was ironic.)
I never noticed this until now, but my EIA changed Theorem 41 to "Korean people eat dogs." from my previous "Chinese people don't eat dogs."
Theorem 204: The CEO is very disappointed with herself because she only got a 102% in math for the third quarter.

Igudesman and Joo

Someone's cousin gave me these urls.
Rachmaninoff
Piano and Violin
Piano Lesson

I haven't watched the 3rd one yet and the dial-up is still loading the second one.
I liked the first one a lot.

The end.

We had our last real MAO practice. At the end of spring break, we're going to the FU Invitational.
After that, we're "studying" for the State Convention. We even got our CDs today with all those interesting Theta tests. (Theta=Geometry and Algebra II)

Applying for the Advanced Placement program has begun. An essay must be written. An ESSAY. I'm a bit worried. *writer's block*

Tomorrow is William's birthday!!! (If you want to see William, then go back to my old posts and find "William is my homie."
Friday= Teacher Planning/Inservice Day= NO SCHOOL!
Saturday~Sunday= first weekend of Spring Break
Monday~Friday= "studying" for the Invitational
Tuesday= Mei's Birthday
Thursday= Ryan's Birthday
Friday= Remind Diana about Joseph's lack of earphones
Saturday= THE INVITATIONAL
Sunday= Last day of Spring Break :'(

It's so weird that Spring Break is sooo near, since it's always felt like summer here. And suddenly- what? Spring Break? But I thought it was summer. When we had Christmas, let's see. What did it feel like? Definitely not a white Christmas. It was a very green and unfortunately a Floridian Christmas. Whatever that is.

I had a really bad day today, so I'm not going to talk about it.

My VP and I are going to have lots of fun annoying Diana 3/2 more than usual because my MVC will not be there. I'm looking forward to it because it will also mean the end of the 3rd quarter- the "hardest grading period". It's so easy to slack of at this time. I've slacked off so much this week alone that it's almost funny.

I hate OASIS.

I'm so tired of violins.

Today, we had some sort of FCAT performance assessment which required all the orchestra people to go to DMS and play for three judges and one separate one for sight reading.
Most of the day consisted of us standing on the stage, trying to pass the time for over three hours or something crazy like that. It was sooo borrringgg....
In the very beginning, we walked into a vacant music room and there was a piano, but I could barely play anything because we were really paranoid about its volume and close vicinity (about 20 feet of another room in between) to the judging/performing room. Then, we walked off to get our violins out... Aaaahhh.
X.X
I hate the violin even more now.

When I got home, I played the piano for a few minutes. It brought back some of my sanity.

Like he's strangling you? WHAT???

___ was the first person who brought it up in a conversation with me. Mr. ___ seems to take his hands and put them on your shoulder like he's about to massage you when he comes up behind you to speak with you. But today, he only used one hand, and held it in the back on my neck. I thought I was about to be strangled, but at least four guys were in front of me, so if he were to try to murder me, I'd like to think that at least ONE of them (EIA, David, VP, MVC, Matt, Par was not too far away) would've helped me. But they're all smaller than him... And half of those people are shorter than me... Lol... Poor EIA. He is about my height because his blonde curls are poofy-ish. Anyways, it was weird. I asked the MVC if he ever did that to him and he said no, so it must be a girl thing? But I could've sworn he HAS done it to a guy... Well, it's still weird. Must be an odd teacher-habit thing.
By the end of MAO practice, Par confessed to David that he watches "Talledega Nights" (I probably didn't spell that correctly...) once per month, and that he usually doesn't see movies. He got suprised and stuff when David said that he's never seen it.
Aaaahh.. Windows Media Player is on, and right now, it's playing Ballade in G Minor, Op. 23 No. 1 and it's making me really depressed. I remember the first time I heard it... it was in WI... And when Maia came over not too long before I moved away, I played it for her over and over and over and over and over... Until I was afraid that she'd gotten tired of it. It wasn't that many times, but still. That's why I never listen to it on purpose these days. It's that bad.
Tomorrow is the review game in math because the big test is on Wednesday, and I'm going to miss it so I won't be able to help Blair and Jack pwn the rest of the class. And there's no independent study group to be rivals with us... Too bad. No extra credit for me.

::EDIT:: I agree hwith Dianna. Independent study groups get pwnd too easily because they don't even know hwhat holes are. Darhwin.

Reports

I've written over a hundred reports this year... They are so boring... Aaaaahhh... Well.. maybe not a hundred... But I'll have about a hundred by the end of the school year. This has mainly been caused by history. That's all I ever seem to do these days. Reports... 24 more assignments until the second semester exam for that class. That's the equivalent of over six weeks. Six terrible weeks...
I had to do a current event article today. It was really difficult to find a suitable article, which worried me quite a bit. Then, I did a basketball report. I miss yesterday so much!

DIANA: HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!

Capital City Mu Alpha Theta Regional

This is an abbreviated version of my day:
My dad woke me up at about 7:19am because he said, we have to pick ___ up! I was ready to go at around 7:45am, but we were supposed to wait for ___ to come to our house, and my mom called ___'s mom and she didn't come, so my dad went ahead and took me to CHS.
At CHS, I loaded the big thing of Nestle waterbottles and carried them all the way to the 900 building. Thankfully, Mr. F was there and he showed me the way to Mrs. B's office where I laid them down. In that room was a PILE of food and to the side were the trophies, PARtially unwRAPped. He told me to come out quickly before I'd even gone inside.
Next, someone talked to him on the walkie-talkie and I had to take the OMK (outside master key) to open the office doors for the random Lincoln/Cobb adults. The correct key had "OMK" inscribed on it. Then, I ran to the cafeteria to give them back.
By then, it'd gotten really boring because I was there too early and there wasn't much to do. So, I stood near the front of the school for a while. Brianna was there, and at some point, Jack showed up in his black sweater because he hates his pink shirt. FINALLY, William came, too. David came next. By then, we were getting a little worried because, yet again, the two people missing were Diana and Ryan... But Diana came and went to put her donation food in Mrs. B's room. M walked around a bit randomly and away from the other DMS kids.
We filed into the auditorium where we sat, got out scantrons and pencils, and left at the correct time. Into the cafeteria we went, off to the team round. Our team... got about 20 points... CHS team 1 did a bit better.
Then, we went to the Latin room for Individual. Aftert the test, I told Ryan to grade it because 1) he was standing near me and 2) he does mental math the quickest. He told Diana to read off the correct answers that I'd written on the back of my packet. William, Jack, and I quickly ran out because we "didn't want to see" stuff.... As we arrived about 20 feet from the building at ground level, I heard Diana scream: JIANG1 KE3 JING1!!!! I said, "Oh no..." and we walked over to Diana and Ryan as they came down the stairs.
DIANA: "You got a 98!!!!"
ME: "REALLY????"
RYAN: "Yeah."
ME: "98????"
RYAN: -nod-
I don't think I actually got a 98, though, but it was something like that except a bit lower.
A few minutes later, William said, "When you do well, you're not supposed to beat me!" LOL
Jack said he got a 30...
Ryan said he got a 64 but really got a 63.
I don't remember what Diana got.
William said he got... was it 89? I don't remember.
It was finally time for lunch. My stomach had already started feeling a bit empty before Individual. The time seemed to have gone by so quickly because it was already around 1:00pm. We payed $3 for a meal (pizza, desert, chips, drink) and ate it near the tables outside the cafeteria. For the next hour or so, we walked around arbitrarily. Ryan finally came back from the restaurant where he went with his parents and sister, and I started to stand on his shadow because Jack moves around too much and Diana's shadow's obviously too small to even find. Then, Jack wouldn't give back Ryan's football. He hugged it for a very long time. At that time, a random Rickards person ran by with the pink panther with Clara and Kavita running after him. Diana and I eventually went towards the auditorium. When we finally arrived, David appeared again. Poor William had to go right after Invidual to band, so we didn't see him again for the rest of the weekend. (I am assuming that we aren't seeing him on Sunday. That would be weird.)
At the awards ceremony, there was some interesting music with the PPT presentation that Mr. G made. Accidentally, the Geometry Invidual slide was placed before the Algebra I information, so I already knew that my cousin had placed. For Algebra II, Diana was in shock for much of the time because she placed!!!!! The order went as follows: A really nice Rickards girl, two people who were probably from Rickards, ME, William (Jack went up for him), Ryan and Ellen(I think) got 7th and 8th, Diana, and someone got 10th. When we came back down, Diana, William and Ryan went up for team and got 2nd place. My team got an Honorable Mention for getting 5th (we tied with another school though :). Brianna was really, really excited because she'd hoped that'd happen when we were failing the team round.
After the awards were over, I saw the Lincoln people put their trophies in a triangular shape with the largest trophies in the middle. They were lined up at the edge of the stage and they all stood behind them to take their picture. I thought that was pretty cool. Mr. F gave a little speech on how he was happier with how we did. (CHS- 2nd place sweepstakes after Lincoln, and awesomely, in front of Rickards!) We went outside to the left side of the auditorium if you look at it from the main entrance, stood on the ramp, and had our group picture taken by Mr. F.
We didn't get to see the real list of placements like usual, but hopefully we'll see it on Monday.
When I got home, I realized how much homework I had left. Aaaaahhhhhhhhh....X.X

It's kinda relieving.

It turns out that I didn't get an 89% after all. It was an 89/95. The teacher might have curved our grades, but I don't know. The odd thing is, I wasn't worried when I got a "B" on a HIGH SCHOOL test. Science class must be reaaaally bad. :)
I have to go do MAO for once in my life since December, so that's why this post is so short.
Good luck tomorrow, CHS!
