Yay, I'm finally done. I have no idea how Physics went today. I could've done really well, I could've failed, I dunno. I know I got at least 5 marks though, since he gave us the answers to the energy and matter questions since we had never done that section in the course. XD; Hopefully I did well--I had a 77% going into today's exam, with the CPT and all the other exams included. :D

We all finished really early and Dean and I ended up leaving with a good hour left in the exam (he let us leave early too). o_o; So I picked up my shop vac thingy since Mr. Fernandes lent me the keys to the science workroom/storeroom/classrooms/everything. XD; That was nice of him. Then I emptied my locker and we went to the mall. :B

Then mom picked me up around 11, we bought sushi & Chinese food for later and then I drove home. And now I'm home and I should put the groceries in the fridge. Then TP.

( I NEED A BREAK FROM STUDYING SO HERE'S A MEME )

Tada~

Now, back to Physics. Lol, tomorrow's the multiple choice part and I have no idea what's going to be on it, so I'm just reviewing every multiple choice quiz thingy in the Nelson textbook. Oh what fun. Physics, I hate you.

And...mom just called. Apparently there was a power outage early in the morning and I have to go check the hot tub to see if it's still working and reset the breaker if it's not. Great, get to go out in the cold and everything. ;_; Oh well.

It worked! It actually worked!

Omg, okay. So yesterday, Dean came over again at about 12:30. We covered the other side of the craft in duct tape because it was ugly. XD; We figured that if we couldn't get it working, we could at least make it look nice. Not that duct tape is overly nice, but it looked better. After that, we tried attaching another piece of plastic, made the cuts in the bottom, did everything and...it didn't work. Crap.

So when dad came home, he found a thicker sheet of plastic downstairs. We tried that and...it popped. DX This huge rip was torn into the plastic. We patched it up (I swear we used three full rolls of duct tape for this project) and tried again. Somehow, the rips from before and the patches we made resulted in the perfect amount of airflow and it worked. XDD So we took a video of it just so that if it stopped working or broke, I could just say that my parents wouldn't let me take the shop vac in and thus we could only show a video of it.

So after that worked, we played around with the Powerpoint presentation and basically just copy/pasted our information into a Word document for our handout. With that we were done, so we ate dinner and taught Dean manners xDD and then I showed Dean God of War. xDD WE FOUND THE SEX MINIGAME. Omg. Like, in the first 40 minutes after you get through the first area, Kratos has these prostitutes in bed with him (boobs!). I kept going to talk to them, but Kratos would always be a bitch and go all "GET YOUR CLOTHES AND GO HOME WE'RE IN ATHENS NOW LOL" and I figured the sex minigame must come later in the game. This time I jumped onto the bed and...I pressed circle and away I went? XDD; It zooms over to this pedestal beside the bed with a vase on you. Every time you hit the button or rotate the control stick as displayed, the pedestal is bumped a bit until, ah, climax, when it falls off. xD You get the level-up orb thingies for it. It's frigging hilarious.

But yeah, that was really the only reason I wanted to play that game, and I don't have to touch it anymore since I just suck ass at it. So. I popped in FFVII since Dean asked if I'd beaten it. (I still haven't. XD) I'm at an awful level for the end. Only around...jeez, I have no idea. So I went to fight the Jenova thing--I SOMEHOW BEAT IT, ROFL. I gained like...5 levels from it. XD; But then the...thing after it beat me. Lol, I was slaughtered. D: I want to start that game from the beginning again. But I'll beat VIII first.

Not that I'm being productive in either game. As soon as Dean left, I sent him the handout to look over so he knew what to say and I went downstairs to play XII. XD; Yes, Abby, I did finally get Faith and Bravery. :D I started training Balthier, too. About an hour of playtime and he jumped from level 16 to 27. Yaay~ I really did want to continue in that game, and I will now until I get a Wii. XD;

So. Fast forward to today. I get to school and run upstairs to drag Dean down and back outside to help me unload our stupid hovercraft from my van. Mom goes to work and then we went to the library to make copies of our handout. The other group went first and...dude their presentation was damn good. XD; But then, they also had 5 or 6 people in their group.

We went up and...stumbled through the presentation of the Powerpoint. We were supposed to fill up 40 minutes with our entire presentation, demonstration included, but by the time we finished the Powerpoint we were only 10 minutes into the allotted time. XD So we started setting up to show the hovercraft working when--Shincariol gets up and says, "No, we're doing it outside the classroom so you can move down the hall." o__o He gets up and grabs an extension cord and sure enough, he's dead serious.

Now, Dean and I had really only tested this staying in one place, or at most, just moving around a tiny bit. Not BOLTING DOWN THE HALL OMG. o__o; We were pretty nervous, especially since this meant that the shop vac (air blower) would have to be on the craft with the rider. @_@ So we set a stool down on it and Dean took the vac. He sits down and we plug it in and turn it on. A few feet down the hall and we hear this loud POP. Dean and I both knew that that meant the plastic had blown out again. Amazingly enough, though, it still worked! XDD Shincariol was having a ton of fun moving Dean and the craft up and down the hall, and people were coming to the doors of their classroom to see. XD; Eventually Dean fell backward off the chair and so some Asian girl tried. It worked again! Kick ass!

Eventually we stopped (20 minutes short of our deadline--oops XD) and Shincariol said he wanted us to repair it and strengthen it a bit so that sometime this week, he can ride it. We're not sure it can support him buuut...we'll give it a try. (He's very...um...heavyset. So. We don't even know if my vacuum is powerful enough. XD) All in all, I think it went well. Everyone was laughing and having fun when we were demonstrating and Shincariol was having a blast, shoving people around the hall and bumping them into lockers. xDD

Then we had French and we got our stuff back. Mara, you got 100% on your oral exam. XD; I got 86, so I'm happy. :D We got our essays back and stuff. She couldn't figure out what I'd changed (I'd fixed my thesis, but it wasn't enough for more marks...oh well XD) so I stayed up till three that night for nothing. Boo. I also stayed up until two doing my French review package for nothing, since she changed her mind today and decided it was due for tomorrow since no one knew it was to be done for today. o_o;

So I spent the rest of that class studying for Computer Science, since the exam is tomorrow. The exam sounds like it's going to be VERY easy. 15 multiple choice, 10 true or false, and then...5 traces? The traces are just where she'll give us a bit of code and we have to show what it prints out or what it does. o_o So I'll study for that a bit tonight while I do my art CPT. I have to find my paintbrushes first though, and maybe take a nap. I dunno.

But omgggg, Physics project is pretty much done. @__@ Even though I still have a ton of art to finish, it's still such a relief for that crappy CPT to be done. Yaaaay~

Omg, writing a whole entry will kill me. Point form it is. Though my points will be like paragraphs anyway I bet...just watch!

- I kept waking up every hour so that I wouldn't oversleep for when Dean was coming at 11. So I woke up at 6, 7, 8, 9, and finally just stayed awake. Got up at 10. Found Dean on MSN at 11. Ended up going to his house at 12:30.

- We did nothing for a while because Dean's dad said he would cut the plywood into a circle. So we waited for him to do that, went out and found the centre for the screw, and traced out where the vacuum thingy would go. Then waited for Dean's dad to figure out how to cut that part out. I watched him play FFXII since I insisted we hook it up to his new TV since he hadn't discovered that it could do widescreen on that. XD;

- Finally brought the plywood inside and taped it up, added plastic. Failed miserably, since the hovercraft BOUNCES instead of hovering. We figure we used too much plastic. Mom called and said she'd come pick me up at 6, but I said no since they said I could stay for dinner and we hadn't finished yet.

- Around 7ish, Dean's family comes home and decides they don't feel like cooking so we all went out for dinner. Ended up waiting 40 minutes for a table at the restaurant, so Dean and I sat there making up RTPs (random true pairings!). Then we went in and ate. At some point I had to call my mom to tell her not to pick me up at 9. xD; Then also had to ask if Dean could come over tomorrow so we could finish up. She said yes but only if I asked if he eats lamb since that's what we're having for dinner. (Rofl, every time he comes over she always freaks about what he'll eat, since he doesn't eat hamburgers. Honestly, I think she knows what he likes to eat better than what I like to eat. XDD We find that hilarious.)

- So yeah, came home pretty late. Dean's coming over tomorrow so we can continue. I have to go pick up canvasses for art and more duct tape tomorrow.

Tada.

LOL K PHYSICS YOU SUCK.

Right, so I was up 'till midnight doing that Physics thing. He didn't even look at it this morning, nor get us to test it. That was fine by me since I needed the whole period for the exam. I failed it so hard~ T_T; I did look over the questions last night and this morning, too. The questions on this one were a lot harder and I blanked for a lot of it. x_x;

I haven't done anything productive since. And since I won't be doing anything this period (I'm in computers) here's a music meme. And speaking of music, damnit Kylie, you got me addicted to Panic! ;_; I can't get the songs out of my head wtfffff...

( Haha, yay you get to guess crappy songs again. :D )

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.

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.

Okay, roughly halfway through the day now. Let's recap!

So my monologue presentation was to be today. Originally, I'd planned to just write it last night, copy a political comic strip off the internet on stem cell research, and then take 5 minutes to write my essay. However, there were no comics on the internet that supported my point. xD Even though I disagree with it, I had to follow a Catholic perspective for my essay so my point was that stem cell research is okay but you can't destroy embryos for it which apparently is the same view as George W. Bush. So I found absolutely nothing on his side, naturally. Had to make something up myself. D< Then the digital copy of my essay ceased to exist so I had to type that all out again. What fun. :B

But! I got it all done and this morning I spent Physics copying out my monologue on strips of paper to use as cue cards since, well, there was NO way I was going to memorize it in an hour. XD I didn't even finish doing that though since I had to write a test on the side.

So while Susie was presenting her monologue--she went first--I quickly wrote out the last two cards and then sat back and waited. Someone else went and then it was my turn. I hadn't even PRACTISED my presentation, save for the contents of the first 2 minutes and 25 seconds since that was the last time I timed it last night. XD

All in all, it went exceedingly well. o_O; It was very obvious that I hadn't memorized a word of it since I kept looking down at my papers every two or three words but every time I looked at Madame, she'd be nodding in that supportive way like you're doing a good job or yawning...T_T;; That probably wasn't good. Then after I finished, she said I did a good job and gave people the two minutes to come up with questions to ask me. XD Some people didn't even know what stem cells (the topic of my essay/monologue) were so I had to explain it a few times, and also explain the difference between adult and embryonic cells a few times. That was awkward since I could only do it in French and it's hard enough to explain details to someone when they already have a rough idea what you're talking about but...explaining from scratch? *_*;

Um, so the questions were actually pretty easy to answer. I kept forgetting to conjugate my verbs while speaking (bad, Erica!) but I do that in French when I'm nervous and I still got my point across damn well. That was the part I was most worried about, too, but since I answered all the questions (and answered comprehension questions for people before the actual flow of questions started) she let me off and I didn't have to answer a Madame!question. :O I think I did okay for that, and Susie said in Physics that this monologue isn't worth very much so...here's hoping that's true! XD

After French I went down to the caf and grabbed some pizza. They must have gotten A lunch mixed up with B because the pizza was actually pretty damn good. After I bought it, I just went upstairs though. The only empty seats were by big groups of grade nines and I didn't want to eat with them. (Everyone else is on the art trip drawing naked people!) So I dumped my plate and ate the pizza while going upstairs. I was sitting outside my computers class for about 3 minutes when Titus came up and unlocked the door for me. Yay. :3

Lunch is almost over now so I guess I'll go start my work. Still have no idea what I'll do for art. o_O; The classroom should be open though, so...guess I'll just continue on my statue? Or maybe I should buckle down and start my CPT roughs. They're due tomorrow and I have NO idea what I'm gonna do. ._.;

Going straight home after school today. I'm exhausted and I don't want to get home late. x_x

Edit: Yay! They moved our computers exam. It's on the 23rd now so it doesn't conflict with Art and I won't be writing three in one day. :D~
