Must.....Survive........This....Week...

Well I'll make this post short because I only have time to make it during Photography right now. All of my free time from now until right after my presentation on Thursday will be spent either working on my 50 minute War movies presentation or my 30 minute Puritanism presentation. Needless to say, I will be missing some frisbee practices. I'm not going to go today, I'm somewhat surprised Eric is going, but whatever. On Tuesday, I'll be there for the first half of practice because I feel guilty if I just show up on Thursday and expect to play a lot in the game. Now that that rant is complete, I shall get down to my post of last week.

Tuesday:
We did very little during school. I developed my crappy photos of Steven during photography. They would have been cool photos because he had cool catches and throws, but I had my Aperture and stuff on the wrong settings, so the images were not very contrasty. They were good, but not up to my standard and likely not up to Ms. Tonkin's expectation of me after my pwnage landscape shots. She liked my lack of faith in their quality though. In Movie Genres, we watched an Inconvenient Truth. I fell asleep because it was so boring. After school, we had a Bruegger practice that went fairly well.

Wednesday:
Again, nothing much happened during the day. We had a good band rehearsal because people that needed to practice finally did. In Physics, not much happened and in Theory, even less happened.

Thursday:
Orion and Ahmad were so late for Humanities that they almost missed their presentation which was really funny for Stoicism. We had a Sukol practice after school that Steven and I balled out early from.

Friday:
Half the band was gone and the Jazz band was gone for Reno, so Braden conducted us. Did he apply our lesson learned from Harshman's last absence and actually practice this time? NO! We played the movement that we know of the song that we don't do well on. It was also the movement that about 8 people need instruments from. The rest of us do sound effects and humming. After that, Steven and I watched Combat Ex replays to help my Terran game. In Physics, we did the same, but with Anton and Sai as well. In Theory, most of the class was gone, so we took a test that I had already taken on the early study day during the WASL. It was so boring because I had the answers.

Saturday:
Our ultimate game went well off and on during the game. We slacked off a lot in the middle and that was when we got screwed. I actually got to play four points in a row though. I had a good block before phailing on zone defense. I don't think I will take on short deep ever again. After that, Sai and I played some Starcraft. We had 2 really good games. One of them involved Sai coming to save my base just in the nick of time. The second replay was the good one. It was full of superior tactics, dimensional recall, and nuclear missle strikes. It pwned pretty hard. I don't know how I ever survived before Arbiters.

Sunday:
I spent the whole day watching War movies from the '70s and '80s about Vietnam because that was my war to research. After watching movies like Platoon and Apocalypse Now, I now understand everything Andrew Phisuthikul ever said to me. I started work on a Powerpoint for the project, then decided that I needed to figure out how to get the movies on my laptop, which is starting to become a slight problem.

Today (incomplete):
Well this week has gotten off to a good start. In Band, we had a scale test that involves that harder scales, but I was ready for all of them. I was 2nd to the last to go and I played through the first three pretty well I thought, even using good tone quality. After the third, Mr. Harshman got everyone to start clapping as is what usually happens when someone finishes, but I still had one to go so I told him. Then he said "Well go ahead." So I said "I don't have to play it if you don't want me to." So he said "You don't have to play it." Hopefully he didn't think I couldn't handle it because it was a pretty easy scale and I could have done it, but I just didn't feel like it. I think I aced that test. In Humanities, Maddy and Joseph gave us candy for watching their presentation. In Physics, there was a test and I was glad I was in the back row for it....heh heh heh....

Ok well I guess I'd better get back to work on these projects. Come Thursday after my presentation, I will be one happy camper. Iron Man this friday? Think about it, we should.
