Well, amen that blogger has finally gone back on its two feet.

Mondays.... suck. Tell me why I hate mondays?

Geometry today was boring and rather tedious; several worksheets and a long note-taking session... all on reviewing how to graph lines. Ugh. I basically just chatted with everyone around me about their weekends, gossip, those damned invertebrate books (more on that later) etc. etc. The bell rings, and I'm glad I'm out of that class.

Today I was rather ecstatic about going to Art. Our week-long note-taking session about ancient Mesopotamia/Egypt/Greece has ended (with an open-note test on it tomorrow... eh, it'll be easy) so today we finished our oil paints. All I had to do was sharpen all my edges (used high-grade oil-color pencils for that) and paint the remaining negative space black. I'm so effing excited to get started on the next project!

Japanese was... boring as usual. (Almost) everyone failed the last chapter test so we spent the better part of the first class reviewing. I, being deprived of any drawing material (left both sketchbooks at home... and I refuse to draw on lined paper!), started humming miscellanous songs in my head. The bell rings for lunch, and I head out with my Walkman in one hand and a notebook in the other. Of course, I didn't really write much poetry that day... or recently... but now my painting's not lacking so I can't really complain that things haven't evened out. We get back from lunch and are given 5 minutes to practice our skits before performing them (which spilled over into 10 minutes or so). My group volunteered third. So, it's our turn to present. I walk up to the tv screen to put in our video... when I realize that my other group members are already hiding outside the classroom. I push the tape inside, turn up the volume a bit, and dash for the door where I found the other three trying to hide in the lockers... well, not really. God, that video was so embarassing... but I got smart and put myself in the position of not being seen; I was the camera man for our BlairWitch-esque type of shots. I feel sorry for G though; during the same day she's been dumped, failed a test, and made a complete ass of herself.

Biology... shudder. Turned in the invertebrate book I stayed up till 4:00am this morning doing. It's bad enough that Ms. L is one of the big homework teachers on campus (the other being Ms. M), but the fact that she's almost as crafty as Rosie O'Donnell... well, that combination has led to several interesting projects. A majority of them are books (such as the one I made) which can range from origami-esque foldouts, to pop-ups, to family albums for our genetics unit. Shudder... Although, I must admit that doing all the tedious typing for it does let me study somewhat from it... but still, why must it be so tedious? Ugh...

I'm actually looking forward to school tomorrow. In ceramics I'm getting closer and closer to finishing my teapot set before it has to get bisque fired so I can colorize it with slip. That and I need to get my other two projects colorized so I can get them fired and take them home. The best part of the day, I'm hoping, will be English. We're beginning to read the Bard's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in class, complete with slight acting... and I am so pining for the role of Oberon... Yeah, I know he's the King of Fairies... that's kind of the idea... makes sense that they'd cast Rupert Everet to be him in the movie, huh?... Either that or Puck.

Added a new feature to the blog. Lookie, the "track" is now a link to a specific post... Yeah yeah, I know it's about time I added that to mine... shu'p!
