well, lessee. wednesday was fun because of japanese club, and today was fun because it was a half day! yes!

what happened wednesday again? i didn't finish the essay we did in lit. stupid timed essays. aaargh. and now the teacher says i should come in and do timed essays for PRACTICE. ick. oh, well, at least it'll help me learn. and parsons is really cool, so he makes something really evil (doing timed essays in your spare time) sound almost fun. science, hmmm, that was fun. we went over the lab. which i hadn't finished. i've finished it now, i did it last night. it helped that somebody who had gone in to ask him for help on it, had given me the paper he had written on. very very helpful. and in history, it was so fun! we learned about nietzsche (the only reason i know how to spell his name is because i had to learn it while studying for the spelling bee in seventh grade...), and ginsberg showed how the comic superman was based on nietzsche's theory. and you can see that raskolnikov's "theory" is actually nietzsche's. lunch i did my math homework, which i then turned in, and we took a test. which we got back today. i did alright on it. got 90%, i think. then comp sci, we got an ASSIGNMENT, ooo... it was pretty fun actually, or maybe that's just my demented mindset. we made a currency converter program. yay. for mine, you input the price, the current currency, and the desired currency, and it outputs the original price AND converted price. oo, fancy. only i did the math wrong. how the heck did i make it into calculus again??? it's ok, i fixed it. hmmm, then spanish, ugh. we wrote letters to the editor, based on articles we were supposed to get from the net. mine was a commentary on the unstable political situation in venezuela, i think. can't quite remember. oh, well. i double-spaced the body of my letter. maybe that'll make the teacher happy. ok, then eighth... where i talked to srav... and tiffany, at least, i think that's her name. she got a halloween gift from jason. looks kinda suspicious to me. ooo, and eve sat with us! it was very nice, i rarely see eve eighth period. so, eighth was fun. then weight lifting, horrid as usual. well, what do you expect? then.... japanese club! woohoo! we had a cooking class. it was SO awesome... and since me, aharon, sean (i think), and another kid (oops, don't know his name...) were the only ones who had washed our hands before the meeting, we formed one group. fun. it's so so nice to talk to aharon in japanese club, he's so enthusiastic. he's much more serious during p.e., besides i don't even see him every day. well, apparently he's a practiced cook, so he gave us tips throughout the cooking process. we did it twice, so him and sean cooked the first time, and me and the other kid cooked the second time. aharon even showed me how to hold my spatula. yay. and it was pretty yummy! we made yakisoba, with ramen noodles, onions, ginger, cabbage, carrots, turkey (?) slices, and green peppers. i must admit, all i ate were the noodles. but mmmm, it was so good. totemo oishikatta deshita, as the japanese say. or don't, i don't really know. i don't take japanese, i just own a couple of "teach yourself japanese" books. but next year, when i get out of spanish... hmmm, what else? joe lent me his sailor moon manga, in japanese no less. cool. but i didn't really get a chance to look at it before he wanted it back. oh well. oooo! spanish club had made cakes, i guess, so they gave us some, and we gave them some of our noodles. and so nikki went over to give them bowls, and i went with, and who should i find but noelle. i think that's how you spell her name. she's a sweet girl. she's a senior. and guess where i know her??? the spelling bee! wow. but anyway, when i was in sixth grade, we were the last two standing in the district oral competition. and i beat her. yep. she was second place, and i was first. apparently, she lost to the word "penitence". and apparently, she still doesn't know how to spell it. well, that was the most interesting thing... aharon was talking to the guys from our cooking group about dragon ball and how dragon ball z is different from the "a" series, or something, which is different from gt. i knew it was different from gt, but i had no clue what the a series was. what the heck?

wow. so that was wednesday. now for today.

hmmm, ah lovely half day, i love you so. well, lit and physics were the only classes that were normal length. which is really cool, because i like both those classes! kinda weird, but both are weird enough to keep me awake. well, in lit we took our vocab test and discussed that criticism on fathers and sons. poor matt got picked on. but you have to admit, it was pretty funny. he went, "i think it's a very important point." parsons would go, "why?" and matt would go, "um... it's... it's an important point!" heh. he was more articulate than that, but the teacher still tortured him. quite entertaining. hmm, and lovely science, i turned in my lab, we talked about the stupid internal assessment (we got a handout), then we discussed problems. which still confuse me. oh well, i'll do them over the weekend. ok, then our first shortened class! yay! we discussed the dbq in history. it sounds so much easier than the ones from last year. god, i hated those. *shudders* hmm, then lunch, i didn't have any homework. i sat at chaffin's table. well, really, it's not his table, but he was the first one there. ooo, and matt came over (the other one) and said he was hungry, so i gave him my mandarin oranges. maybe a bad idea, cuz i got REALLY hungry later on. oh, well, he seemed really grateful. i borrowed chaffin's grape book (um, that is, una vez más) to study for the test. then alex came over, and studied the book too. i don't think anyone really does the homework. she doesn't grade it. so what's the bloody point? it's not new material either, it's all review. that's all we do now in spanish, review. and learning vocab. well, yeah, so lunch was fun. even though ivey and melissa were missing. hmmm. maybe i should eat lunch with nathan every once in a while? .... nah. ok, then math, lovely as always, but especially lovely today, seeing as how it only lasted 20 minutes. i talked to alex quite a bit, which was fun. then comp sci, i worked on my currency program and figured out the math was wrong, and fixed it. ooo, then lovely spanish. we took the test. i think i did ok on it. here's a first: i wasn't sure what to do when it said, "give the pronoun" so i ASKED THE TEACHER. it's amazing. and y'know what? i think i might actually get a higher grade because of it.
