...x_x Today was not a good day by most standards. I think I'm just glad it's over. I got to school late because...actually, I don't even KNOW what time we left the house. And it's probably better if I don't. Homeroom was pretty boring. We took notes and I inked a picture the whole time. In Discrete, I went over all my Java notes and inked more. Then he handed back our first tests. So, I got 84% on the first quiz. 113% on the second quiz. So, logically, what do I get on the first test? 37%. Fuck. I used the wrong angle in two questions despite writing the correct angle down on my diagram. And then other parts I just didn't know. It wouldn't be so bad if the rest of the class did really poorly, but out of all the marks I saw, I got the worst. x_x; Lovely~ Right after that, I went to write the computing competition. ROFL. That sucked so hard too. Five problems that we had to write solutions for. I got the first problem, which was pretty easy. I spent way too long on it though. At...least I got perfect for it? The next problem was...a lot harder. I KNOW I got close, but I just couldn't get it to work right and never did manage to finish it in the three hour time frame. Bah, I could've been at lunch and gone to English to get the same mark. ;_;' So yeah, I missed English, which is probably bad because we have three days to write two essays and...today was one of them. o_o; Friday is a work period so under normal circumstances, she'd probably let me finish up that day but...I'm not here Friday. Damn, dunno what I'm going to do since I can't stay after school at all this week either. DX Now...I'm going to go eat lunch and pack for the trip Thursday, I guess.

HELLO NOTEPAD. LET'S WRITE AN ENTRY TOGETHER. Rofl, I'm so tired and I have no idea why, since I went to bed at 11:30 last night which is early for me. ;_;' Anyway, we finished the movie in homeroom. Did...she even give us an assignment for that? Or is she going to wait a few days so we can't remember what was in the movie before she gives that to us? <_< I don't even remember Discrete, rofl. Dean and I spent a good five minutes trying to get something out of the leg of my desk. (The edge of the desk is chipped so you can see into the leg of the desk and people put stuff there.) We eventually got it out and then put it back. How productive. We also took down a (probably) useless note. Calculus was even more uneventful. She gave us a work period for the review, which I neglected to do over the weekend. So I did that and talked to Mitch who sat next to me the whole time since Ann wasn't there. :| Apparently he did really bad on the last Discrete test, but he and I had the same answers for a lot of them. So yeah. There goes my 90. T_T; Yay for lunch and retarded seating plans. XD Um...English was boring. I doodled the whole time. She put up our essay topics though. One of them is "ethics of stem cell research." Score! XD I did my French essay on that so I already know where to get information, I've already got a thesis and outline (albeit in another language) and it should be easy to write. I'm not sure what I'll do for my second essay though. x_x; I'm leaning toward same-sex marriage, but I forgot to ask her if I have to take a Catholic stance on it, so maybe I should just play it safe and go with something else. That's pretty much it. I brought home my Calculus textbook instead of Discrete tonight. x__x; I guess I'll do the homework anyway though. I'd planned to do it tomorrow night as studying for the test on Wednesday, but can't do that now. There's no point in doing it tonight anyway since I'm not even going to Calculus tomorrow. o_o; The "Canadian Computing Competition" is tomorrow at 11 so I'll be missing that period anyway. Oh shit, it's tomorrow. XD; I...should probably ditch my Calculus and go brush up on my Java so I don't fail too hard. Though I don't think we're supposed to use Java anyway, but Titus said we could. Hope we can do it and still have the possibility of going on to round two (if I even make it there), since I haven't taught myself C++ yet. xD;

Physics was fun. Poor kid who lost his miniature rocket thingy in the woods though. Sucks to be him. (I'm tired and I don't feel like elaborating much. XD) French was boring. We took up the review package and then she let us out 30 minutes early. So I ate lunch then and spent lunch studying with Triffy for the Computers exam. That went horribly. Half the stuff on it was stuff we had never done, let alone seen before. o_o; I went to hand it in within 45 minutes of starting (we had the full period) and she told me I had two traces wrong and 9 multiple choice wrong. So...I took it back and fixed the traces but I have no idea if I fixed the multiple choice or not. ._.; Fuck, I was hoping to get perfect on that exam so my mark would go up to a 99 or something. ;_; That exam can only bring it down. Art was boring too. Didn't really do much. At home, I...had intended to get straight into my art CPT. XD; I ended up making Miis for all the Organization members though. :B Demyx's is cute. It's fun playing baseball with them. XD; It was hard to make them though since none of the hair is accurate and, like, I had to make Saïx's hair grey because there was no blue. xD And Axel's hair is a red-brown instead of red. It's...weird, but oh well. Bryan came home and I played baseball with him a bunch of times as we laughed our asses off at the fugly Orgy members on the field. XDD; Marluxia kept thwarting me by putting me out every time by catching the balls I hit. DDDX But then again, Xigbar did the same thing to Bryan. Oh well. Um, um, yeah. So then we played golf. Marluxia versus Demyx. XD I (Marluxia) did SO WELL for the first 8 holes...I was always either on par or under. Then I fucked that up by taking 14 shots to get the ball in the hole on the last one. Oops. XD Then we went out for dinner as a family for the first time iiiin... Oh, I have no idea. We went to East Side Mario's and that was okay. Service kinda sucked though. XD; Either way it was because we had gift certificate thingies and mom got a new job within her company (she applied for it earlier in the week, I think), so we celebrated that sort of. o.o Now I'm off to finish art~

Omg, I need a break from Physics, seriously. XD; So today was...well, uneventful. Despite going to bed relatively early last night, I was still incredibly tired when I woke up this morning. x_x; I'm glad today is Thursday. I can just come home and SLEEP tomorrow night. So, Physics was boring. Like a good little student (lol, I typed "stupid"), I studied the four questions we were to have on it the night before, so I didn't even need to cram. I ended up just given quick explanations about the questions to the people who came in without having studied. The people I usually just end up cramming with every morning. The exam itself was really good today! We were kind of fretting because the questions (which he gave us BEFOREHAND ♥) seemed far too easy. There was one question using 2 point source waves, which I actually had to teach myself last night because I didn't understand it. I had originally written little cheat notes so that I'd know what each letter in the equation stood for, but I didn't even need that since I remembered, so I ended up using the pretty new formula sheet he photocopied for all of us (the one I made!) and all went well. The next question was just one using Coulomb's Law. We all thought it might be the--well, not hard but long--problem that was on the take-home test. But...no. There weren't even two different values for the charges. o_o; It was stupidly easy. The third question was kind of like the "lab" we did yesterday, except much easier. We just graphed a straight line, came up with a statement about the relationship, and then rewrote the equation using the slope we'd already found. The last question was RIGHT OUT OF OUR TEST on momentum. :D I'd done that question as practise last night so I practically remembered all the values. XD; I ACED that section of the exam. Next was, well, spare, since I didn't have French. Followed Alyssa down to the caf and sat with Kura, Heather, and other people. I ended up writing out my exam notes for French. It took all of second period and most of third period (I continued after heading up to art) to finish the formation and usage of the subjunctive tense. XD; I'll probably finish that up tomorrow night. In art I was reminded that I have to do a second pencil drawing since I don't have any life drawings...shit! I'd forgotten all about that, so I guess I'll be half-assing one over the next week as I study for exams. That also means my weekend is absolutely packed. XD; Computers was just...boring. I didn't even end up getting her to come check out my CPT since I can still do that tomorrow. I spent most of it looking up information about the physics of hovercrafts for my Physics CPT. Even though we present on Monday, he wants our presentation basically finished for tomorrow because he thinks we're all retards who can't work Powerpoint on his laptop. 9_9; It took most of the night to finish the research, but with Dean's help we got it all done and I just finished getting it all typed up in point form. Now I just have to bring that into a makeshift Powerpoint presentation. I figure so long as I have a basic outline of the Powerpoint to bring in and test tomorrow, it'll work fine. I mean, I have no doubt it will work, but we can edit this one later and at least we'll know for sure. I dunno. The handout won't be done for tomorrow though. So, tomorrow night I'm kind of free. I'll be going out with mom to buy the canvasses for my art CPT. Or maybe I'll just head out with dad and we can go over to Home Depot and get the stuff for the hovercraft. :\ That's my day Saturday--Dean will be coming over and we'll spend the whole day building the thing, I think. Then we just have to once-over the Powerpoint and play around to finalize the handout and we're done...! Oh, I can't wait. Since after this, the course is pretty much over until the multiple choice section of the exam, which isn't even until the end of the month. @_@ Now I guess I'll go half-ass that Powerpoint, finalize Alyssa's DVD, and study for tomorrow's exam. ;_; Crap, and I wanted to go to bed early. Maybe I'll leave the studying for tomorrow morning. Glancing at my exam notes, the stuff can be studied pretty quickly, I think, so long as I memorize the order to use equations for the problems. Anyway, I'm off.

:D Phew, after my French orals today, I just feel a lot lighter. French is such a stressful course, especially this year, and now it's pretty much over. I want to get the review package for the course mostly out of the way tonight and then I don't have to worry about it except for my traditional last-minute review next week before the exam. But I'll rewind. Mom woke me up early to say I was catching the bus. We left at 7:30 so...I didn't catch the bus, but I still got to school before 8, which was nice. :D Dean and I looked over the stuff for our Physics exam first thing and memorized some stuff. Today's exam was alright. The stuff we studied this morning was really easy--I breezed right though it. The rest of the exam was basically a lab report. He gave us the values of an experiment and we had to put it all together with a graph and figure out what everything meant. o_o; I think I did okay on that, though probably not quite perfect. Then French. I was so nervous for some reason. xD Madame told us yesterday that I was going first, but when I got there, she'd posted lists for all the days of the order everyone was going. I ended up going second-last. o_o; Basically, all of us who went today just sat there talking the whole time. Mine went okay. I forgot my lines a couple times, but she didn't say anything after. Apparently for others she told them their faults and gave them the corrections after they finished, but she didn't say anything for me--good or bad. So I have no idea how I did. I hope I wasn't under time. @_@; Oh well. It's over and now I have spare second period for the next two days, basically. XD; Art was pretty boring. I just fleshed out my CPT sketches a bit more and then spoke with Estabillo about it. I'll probably just be doing two similar paintings of the same scene, day and night. Apparently whatever the hell I came up with counts as Surrealism so, yay. :x I guess tomorrow I'll head out with mom or dad to buy canvasses and then...well, I guess this weekend I'll be painting. Or next week afterschool every night. Probably both. I also asked her if I would get my art supplies next semester. See, since I'm in a special art program at school, we paid a large fee at the beginning of high school that covers field trips, guest presentations, and basic art supplies for all four years of classes. I won't be taking art next semester so I wanted to know if I could still get the supplies anyway since I DID already pay for them. She said it was probable that I could and also said I could probably go on all the field trips too since I already paid for them as well. XD That'd be pretty cool, getting to go on the trips without even being in the class. Maybe I'll go on one next semester just for the hell of it, if I can. :D That'd be cool. Lunch was hilarious. The stupid hat. XDDD; Omg. And computers was just boring. The teacher wasn't there so I couldn't have her look over my CPT. ;_;' I ended up just organizing my art/computers binder and starting my notes for the computers exam. I got through all the vocab by the end of class. So boooring. Now I'm home. Hooked my laptop up to the TV again so I could use the surround sound speakers for my music. xD I love that. No one's going to be home for most of the night because my mom is taking Bryan to the open house at St. Augustine's, the laptop school where he wants to go for his secondary education and dad has an early hockey game soooo...it'll just be me. :D~ Gonna work on that French, study Physics, maybe do something else, and haul my ass off to bed early tonight. ( But first, a meme. )

Today seemed to take forever to go by. @_@ Exams invoke stupid dreams in me. o_o; I had a dream last night that Dean and I had our Calculus II exam (wtf?) and were trying to register for it about an hour prior, but couldn't figure out where to register. The sad thing is, I had this dream LAST YEAR just before our Calculus exam. This one was like...the sequel, since either Dean or I at some point said, "Remember this same thing happened last year?" It was very confusing. Anyway. I woke up late. For some reason my alarm didn't go off, so mom popped in at 7:20 to tell me to get up and dressed. So I did, and it was off to school with me. I just dropped my coat in my locker and went into Physics as soon as I got there. We were scheduled to start our exam yesterday, but with the snow day, it started today. Now, he said he would keep the schedule as-is and simply have any missed exams on the Friday, since somehow he predicted the snow day. XD However, he changed his mind or something today and suddenly we were all re-reviewing the content for yesterday's exam. So, we wrote that. It wasn't too bad. There was a surprise question on the Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum, which I'm pretty sure I guessed at right. I don't remember exactly what I wrote, but it was basically a less-detailed version of the law in the text book, as I learned when I looked it up after. I also never really memorized how lasers work properly, so I doubt I got full marks on that question. (The textbook was vague and the note he gave us was written terribly, so I really didn't get it. ;_;) I finished the exam rather quickly though and overall I think I did well on today's part. He updated our marks with all the crap we had to hand in after Christmas. My mark jumped up to 74%. ^_^ That still kinda sucks ass compared to my other marks this semester, but damnit, it's good enough for me since that should be fine for getting into York. (It's the only one that requires Physics, blech.) Next was French. The last of the research projects were presented today, and she asked us who had oral exams tomorrow. I look at my watch and sure enough, tomorrow is the 17th. Greeeeeat. I raised my hand and somehow managed to end up going first tomorrow. So I have to memorize my monologue tonight. For some reason I thought the 17th was a Thursday. I'm worried about the monologue since when I handed it in, she said it was really short. o_o; I've read it out several times with a timer today, and got 4:15, 4:35, and 4:50 as my times. So hopefully, if I memorize it to be read slowly AND she counts the time it'll take me to remember exactly what to say (since I know I'll have at least one awkward pause tomorrow), then it'll be over 5 minutes. (She said we have major penalties if it's under 5 minutes, which will suck. o_o) Art was boring. Just carved and sanded the whole time, along with getting assaulted by Julian's carving utensil. :x I...think I'm done. Either done or fed up with it, so I don't think I'll be continuing any longer. Besides, I need to start my CPT so I don't fall behind just before the end, which seems to happen every art course. I don't want to end art on a bad note since this is my last art course. ;_;' In computers, I finished my CPT. She checked it the first time and managed to find an error (I'd forgotten to idiot-proof my search methods XD) and then when I fixed them with a line of code, she wasn't there for the rest of the class to come check it again. DX I wanted to just be done with it. Though, now that I am, I can have all three lunches on Wednesday and Thursday next week since I have no reason to go to that class after the exam. :D Then I came home and it was cold outside. @_@; I changed, ate some food, memorized a few more lines of my French, and then got distracted by Notepad. It was open so I wrote out an entry. Go me. I'm stupidly tired right now. I'd like to go take a nap, but I know if I do now, I'll just have problems sleeping tonight. But if I don't, I might be too tired to properly memorize this. ;_;' Not to mention I have to study for Physics again tonight too. I'd go take a half-hour nap now and tell my brother to wake me but...I know he'll forget so that's rather pointless. Oh well. Back to French. At least since I'm going first, I get it out of the way and don't have to go back to class until...when, Friday? @_@ Yaaay.

"On behalf of the St. Elizabeth Catholic community, we present to you this cheque on behalf of the St. Elizabeth Catholic community." Good job, Rosenburger. Anyway, today was okay. Didn't end up skipping the mass first thing this morning since we were smart and sat right in front of our lockers, which is right outside homeroom, thus Shincariol walked right by us and asked me a question, so he'd know I was there. XD; So we went to class and he wouldn't let us stay behind in the classroom. The mass was boring, but at one point there was a big red warning message at the bottom-left of the projected computer screen saying "WARNING: THIS PROJECTION UNIT IS OVERHEATED. EITHER TURN IT OFF AND REPLACE THE PARTS OR LOWER THE ROOM TEMPERATURE." or something like that. Later, when we were back in class, Shincariol said he was considering going up and turning it off at that point, but decided it would be a lot funnier if it caught fire instead, so he left it. XDD; So Physics was boring. We didn't really do anything at all. He put on a movie and left the class for most of it, so we did the crossword in the school paper and Dean and I went over the AIF form for Waterloo Math. (It's an "additional information form" you can fill out for admission.) After this was art, since the day's schedule was so messed up. I didn't get thaaat much done, but my sculpture kinda sorta almost looks like something now. The guy who "helped us" (read: did everything for us) on the relief sculpture project that was to be a permanent installation in the school was there too. Apparently the sculpture was up in the main foyer already. We went to see and sure enough, there it was! This is pathetic, because I'd LOOKED in the foyer three times already before I was told it was there, and I never once noticed it. So evidently no one will notice it or care that it's there. It also looks like crap, but I wasn't expecting much from this thing to begin with so I guess I can't really complain. 9_9; That money could have gone toward better things, however, like new chisels, more storage space, or hey, you know, more than one broom for the art rooms. :x Oh well. After this was lunch. The pizza during B Lunch is very good. It sucks at A and C lunch. :\ Next was French, and I left lunch a little early since I wasn't entirely sure when it started. I got up to my locker and found my lock missing. Shiiit. I guess I forgot to close it this morning. I checked Shincariol's class to see if he was there and if he'd taken it (since he did that last time) and he wasn't there, so I just went to class. @_@; Alyssa was nice and dropped my coat and chess board into her locker, since those were the only things of real value in there. Nobody would ever want my French essay or my textbooks. o__o; French was boring. I basically just started rewriting my whole monologue as a "good" copy. I'd have finished really quickly, but it was so awkward trying to rewrite it since she won't let us remove the staples and that meant I had to keep turning the paper awkwardly to see what to write next. x_x; We get to continue tomorrow and I'm nearly finished, so I won't have to come Friday. Computer Science was pretty fun. She taught us recurring functions (I think that's the name) and after she finished her 2-minute lesson, Triffy and I looked at each other all "HEY I UNDERSTAND THAT PART OF CALCULUS NOW OMG." She just explained like...half a unit to us in under two minutes, and BETTER than the Calculus teachers do. o_o Then we learnt a certain way to sort arrays and that took the rest of the class since she insisted on going through the code step by step, and some people didn't get it. It was so easy, and she had to go through it so many times. @_@ Triffy and I did hijack the class at some point to talk about philosophical theories though. XD; That was fun. After school, I walked halfway home before mom picked me up. We went to Fortino's for something and then to the bank so I could deposit some money. I had about $5 in my account and I'd converted some of my US cash over the weekend so I wanted to get that in. (She was too lazy to bring me home first, though, so I have to pay her back now. o.o) Then we went to Costco looking for steak knives, since that's what I'm going to get dad for Christmas. They didn't have any, so we went to Home Sense and found some. We bought them, but may look for better ones before Christmas in case we find anything nicer. And now I'm home. Have a fair bit of Physics to do tonight, but it shouldn't take too long, I hope. :O Oh! A bit of an update on the sickness I thought I had yesterday. It's seemingly gone. :D My immune system likes me for once! What an awesome Christmas gift! XDD

Top Commenters on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cherubi's LiveJournal(Self and anonymous comments excluded from rankings)( 11-92 )Physics: He let us study for our quiz today for most of the period. So I studied. Finished the quiz early. Hope I did well. I have to add even more equations to the formula sheet tonight. Maybe I'll get a thanks for it this time. French: Finished my monologue. I think I have enough--I roughly timed myself reading it before I was done and it came to 4:30 (has to be five minutes) and when I went to hand it in at the period's end, she asked if I wrote a lot, looked at it, and I think she said I had. I'll revise it next work period. Art: Sculpted. Boring. Longest class ever. Lunch: Good pizza. Computers: Teacher skipped out early, apparently, since she wasn't there. No adult figure was in the room until the office buzzed up to ask how many of us were there. Then they sent someone to bring us to the show we were going to watch. I wish I could have stayed behind. The show was boring. Home: Grabbed the mail this afternoon--I didn't get it yesterday and as a result the mailperson just jammed everything into the box, damaging most of our mail. I did get letters from both U of T and York telling me they'd received my application. U of T has my name wrong--I think my middle names exceeded their maximum number of characters for that field because my name is entered as "Erica Antoinette Diane Lucill Coutts." The final E is missing on Lucille. o_o; I'll probably end up calling about that, dunno. There was also a mail key in there, for the big mailbox--so we got a package. It was for me, from my aunt in Germany. Says there's a "handtasche" and a DVD inside. I don't know any German, but I'm assuming that means like...handbag? Also, when I got home, there was a big box addressed to the family on the front step. I think it's from Grandpa since it looks like his writing. Finally, I'm coming down with something. I've been exceedingly tired all day, and feeling slightly stuffed up...not to mention the hot/cold flashes I've been getting. ._.;
