Sadly, what we were doing most of the time.

Davis: Uhhh, you guys might want to not use that toilet for a while
*3 hours later*
Davis: Yeah don't use that toilet again yet.
Us: Wait, you didn't stink it up, did you clog it?
*debate over how it got clogged*
*later*
Me: Fine I'll use the plunger and do it.
*plunge*
Me: Well it seemed like it was working, maybe I am not good enough
Jack: Fine I'll do it, but you owe me five bucks if I get it to work
*flushes toilet*
Jack: It went down, you already fixed it, you just needed to flush it
Me: So we don't owe you five bucks?

I'll get around to posting the pictures when I have more free time.
I know, I know, I haven't been posting and I haven't posted the pictures. It's been a rough few 8 days, but things are slowing down finally and I will post pictures next week sometime. You'll survive, trust me.
Tuesday:
I went to school and we presented our project in Humanities and I thought it looked really good. Margaux and Ronni did a very good job of putting it together. I saw the grade today and we got 40/40 on the presentation and 58/60 on the paper. Basically, we pwned. Other than that, not much happened during the day.
Wednesday:
It was the last "official" day in music theory. It was nice to finally hand in that stupid book and to know that the class of major boringness is finally over, until I take it or a higher level of it in college.
Thursday:
I spent 4 hours and 20 minutes of the last 4 hours and 30 minutes of school in the photography room because I really needed to get my portfolio ready for the following week. It was somewhat fun to get everything done in one go and thanks to Maddy for helping me mat my pictures.
Friday:
I skipped school because I was going down to Vancouver with my mom to see my grandpa. When we got there, the hospice nurse was just getting there and they gave him about 24 hours to live. Me and 2 of my uncles went to play tennis during the day for some exercise. They spent the car rides screaming at the "stupid bitch in the gps." Later that day, my other uncle's hyper kids and his annoying daughters and his annoying wife came and luckily were only there for 2 hours. That night, after about 30 minutes of quick deterioration, my grandpa passed away surrounded by his wife, his 4 kids, and me. He went peacefully and we all pulled together to get through it.
Saturday:
We had to keep on truckin'. There were appointments to be made and we had to make them. My uncles and I pranked my other uncle with a joke business card that he almost gave away to someone that would have caused him much embarassment. I injured my arm playing racquetball later in the day. Later in the day, Dad and Kathryn came over.
Sunday:
My grandma really wanted to give away a lot of my grandpa's old clothes because she wanted them to go to good homes. Since I was closest to his size (slightly taller), I took a few things. Later in the day, Dad and Kathryn and I headed back home, while mom and grandma and my uncles went out to Kennewick to prepare for the funeral services. I worked on the project a bit with Steven. That night, I made the first of 3 baskets for the basketry merit badge. It took an hour and a half and it really hurt my fingers.
Monday:
Steven and I went to pick up some stuff for the project in the middle of the day. Our project is very basic, but I think it will get us an A.
Tuesday:
The first two classes were short, which was nice. I presented my portfolio in photography and she really liked the one I expected she would. In movie genres, we didn't do much of anything. Campus day was boring because I took a final and pretty much everyone left. The assembly was also boring and I don't really like the yearbook theme, but I must say, my quote "prawns." (seriously, wtf yearbook staff, it was PWNS NOOBS).
Well anyway, things are going to go back uphill soon. We have graduation and FBLA nationals and computer building coming up. I'll post those pictures next week.

Teh Pr0mzorcks
Well basically, the rest of the week was boring (no offense) compared to the weekend. Prepare for a brief retelling of my weekdays.
Tuesday:
All my classes were rather uneventful. In Movie Genres, 2001: A Space Odyssey got a little too boring for Eric, who began snoring during the movie which was pretty funny.
Wednesday:
I don't remember much of Wednesday. We finally got rid of our laptops for the last time and after that, I must have just been playing videogames all afternoon.
Thursday:
I got to see the don't drink and drive assembly not once, but twice. I was slowly driven insane by it because I knew that their motives were fair, but I also knew that I was not going to do that because I don't plan on drinking (at least not with parental knowledge) until 21 because if I can do it with that condition, I have proven myself right and someone else wrong. I say without parental knowledge because he said "Every teenager tries alcohol without their parents knowing before they are 21." I decided I would prove him wrong and for 3 years, I have been doing a good job. In photography, Jake stopped by and we hung out.
Friday:
It was senior skip day, but I went to band, then Ronni's house for the project, then to Music Theory. I got enough skipping school when I did it a week ago. After school, I just sat around playing a couple games of Starcraft, then anticipating Rachel's arrival. I went to pick her up from the airport and it took a while because Sea-Tac is such a big airport. Eventually I found her and then I brought her back home. We hung out for the rest of the night.
Saturday:
We hung out around the house until around 11:00 when we went to go see Nick. It had been 9 years since they had spoken and it was nice for the three of us to be reunited. In elementary school, we went everywhere together. We even had matching clothes. It's been a while since I talked to Nick too, so it was nice all around. Dad brought Grandpa over later on in the afternoon, so we took him to Costco for lunch. Luckily, Rachel was able to get along with Grandpa, although he was being awkward, chewing me out for "not keeping her hand warm." It was somewhat funny actually. We went to get Rachel's hair done at 4:00. At around 6:30, we decided that since we needed to be at Davis' in half an hour, we should get ready. We were only 10 minutes late to Davis' place. Many pictures were taken (I'm sure they're on facebook by now) before we left to Anthony's. On the way in, there was a lady that told us "don't to forget to laugh." It was a little odd, but I guess we didn't forget. Craig our waiter was good and picked up on my humor when necessary, so that was nice. Rachel seemed to get along with everyone and I hope everyone liked her. At the dance, I got to show of my hot date to all the Syre kids. In other words, Rachel got to meet all the kids we knew back in elementary school. There were some pictures taken that I can't wait to get back because they will be good and/or epic. As for dancing, it was hard to initiate dancing. We finally did a slowdance, but I realized that I have not stood that close to someone in a long time and my vision was a little blurry and I kept thought she was saying things when she wasn't. In short, I got nervous slow dancing...awwww. After that, we all came back to my house for some pwnage after party. See: Sunday.
Sunday:
We came back and of course everyone wanted water, which was the only thing that was hard to get for people, but we managed. We all watched Little Miss Sunshine. It was just as good the second time around. After that, we messed around the OnDemand menu before finding a hilarious religious kids show called "Aardvark and Zucchini." Through a combination of the absurdity of that show and my lack of sleep (it was 3:30am), I entered a laughing fit upon the recitation of "The Xylophone Prayer." Shortly thereafter, we learned the xylophone dance, which entails one person laying on the ground and the other person basically rubbing that person up and down. As Orion said, the performance of such a dance on the show was "Basically child molestation by children." Unfortunately, I did not partake in any xylophone dancing, or /dance (good use of that Orion so that only Steven, you, and I knew what you meant). Everyone left around 4, then Rachel and I slept in until about 10:00. We went to go see her old neighbors at 1:30 and they proceeded to rob me of the day with her by talking until 3:30. It was also awkward because they go to St. Luke and asked why I don't go there anymore (offensive pastor and it's just plain boring). So at around 3:30 when we left, I was sad because Rachel was leaving and I didn't get to spend enough time with her. I came very close to asking her to be my girlfriend in the car on the way to the airport, but I was overcome by fear of making her last minutes here awkward, and I just had no idea how to ask out my best friend of 14 (maybe even 15 now) years without it being awkward so I did not and I have been regretting that all weekend. I'm going to go see her again as soon as I can, which will probably be the end of summer, winter break, or spring break.
After dropping her off at the airport and missing my opportunity to get a girlfriend, I headed to my uncle's house where I was to pick up mom and dad who were meeting me there in the other car since the schedules had been odd that day. We left our car with them and saw my cousin's new HDTV. It's very nice. He had GTA4. I now want it after seeing the physics engine and the AI in action. Screw the gameplay, it looks good already. We made it down in great time to Vancouver because there were no cops on the road. I was doing 80+mph pretty much the whole way. When we got there, we met up at my grandpa's house and saw my 2 great aunts and one of my great uncles. I hadn't seen them since the reunion, so it was nice to see them again. After being there for a while, we had to head out to our hotel. It was a nice place. Dad and I watched 300, but since I had driven for 3 hours and was sad from missing Rachel and had done all this on less than 6 hours of sleep, I fell asleep partway through.
Monday:
I woke up as people were getting ready. It took the three of them about an hour to get ready and mom said "Get up before breakfast is ready." They left without me because they couldn't wait, so I did my traditional "get up and be ready in 3 minutes." I met them for breakfast before they had taken a seat. We spent most of the day with my grandpa before having to head back to make it in time to work on humanities a bit, which I gather I will be doing in a few more minutes here.
Other than that, not much. I miss Rachel a lot mostly because of what I did not get to do, but hopefully someday this shall be remedied. I have to go back down to Vancouver to see my grandpa again because it's his birthday (and most likely his last unfortunately). I have 2 projects to do and 5 merit badges to earn. Davis, I need to ask you about your basketry thing. Peace out for now I guess.

Seabrook: Take 2
Last week went pretty well. I came close to being found out (skipping monday) a couple of times, but it seems to have blown over now. All I really need to look forward to is pr0m and the merit badge work that I will soon be getting back to. Basically it was three conflicting stories: My mom thought I had just slept through band since it wasn't taking attendance, then I went to class afterwards. The school thought I wasn't there, and that I had not turned in a field trip form, which was true. Mr. Hendrix thought I was on a field trip, but found out that I wasn't, but luckily, I know some very nice people in music theory (thanks to all of them) that said I was definately at Victoria. It was nice of them to do it and I must thank them again for covering for me.
Tuesday:
I got back into the daily grind going to all my classes. It was quite boring. In the afternoon, I had to take the truck in again to Les Schwab for some fixing. It turned out that it actually was the alternator all along, so we went to the truck's mechanic, John and he fixed it up in a day and it runs great now.
Wednesday:
This was the day I found out about Mr. Hendrix's discovery. I also learned that the people in the class had vouched for me. Music Theory was a bit awkward until we quieted down for our test.
Thursday:
I got to school to see Jack. Humanities went well because it was a planning day and Jack just hung out in our group. I left the class a little early to go meet with the counselor at the UW for advice on how to get in after only 3 quarters of SCC because I really don't want to be there a second longer than I absolutely have to. Basically, I can stand a really good chance of getting in if my GPA in college is 3.4 or higher. If I manage to get a 4.0, I might as well be let in then and there. I am definately going to give up some things for college and I am going to work my butt off until I am in the UW (not to say I won't work at the UW, I will do that too). I came back to school for 6th period and we watched 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was terrible for the first 20 minutes because it was just screaming monkeys fighting. After that, it actually gets pretty cool. After school, Orion and I took Davis and Jack along while we got tuxes. Orion and I got ones, but Davis decided his money would be better spent on a book of piano sheet music. After that, I picked up the truck from my Grandpa. After that, we went to Maddy's house for a party that was so-so. I'm not much on hang out parties. We watched Jim Gaffigan though and he was good as usual.
Friday:
We got on the road at about 10:00 and drove straight to Aberdeen, where we stopped for lunch at Subway, then kept going to Ocean Shores for some groceries. After that, we went to Seabrook and hung out for a while, doing some shuffleboard before going to the beach at around 8:30 for some frisbee.
Saturday:
I made pancakes and then we ate and left the house around 12:00 for some beach frisbee again. We saw cool kites and walked down the beach to Pacific Beach to see them. We tried to ford a river, but wound up having to take our shoes off. After that, we went into Ocean Shores for some billiards and some Big Buck Hunter. That night, we watched the Big Lebowski, then made smores, then peed on the fire.
Sunday:
I made pancakes again and we hung around a bit before going to the beach where we met an ultimate player from Western. After that, we went back and packed up. The ride home was mostly perfect. I almost killed us at one point, but I did manage to get us home in great time. We stopped at Taco Bell for dinner in West Olympia and Davis and I accidentally ordered 5 extra things beyond our grande meal. Actually, you know what? It was the cashier's fault. This was the conversation:
Guy: How do you want the meal divided?
Me: Uh five hard tacos and...
Davis: 2 hard tacos and 3 burritos
Somehow we wound up with 7 tacos, 4 bean burritos, and 4 supreme burritos. The rest of the way home was very quick moving traffic. After that, I played some Guild Wars.
Monday:
I did my homework after some good vg playing and some serious room cleaning and some going to grandpa's house for dinner. While we were there, he told me he was finally planning on getting rid of all his junk, so this summer I am going to be helping him. I guess he tells me stuff like this first because I always help him collect/store it. Regardless, this means that I will A: Get some good old stuff and B: Get to make many trips to the dump. It's win win for me.
I will post about today in my next post. I will try to post some pictures as well of Seabrook. Rachel gets in on Friday, so I might post right before she gets here to split the week from the weekend. I'll try to get the pictures up before that, though there aren't many of them. Peace out.

A slightly shortened week (due to the last week running a bit long)
Well first of all, how about this weather we are having? It's really nice. Also, I would like to declare that I was undefeated in making the first post about Victoria. I didn't go this year due to frisbee playoffs, but since nobody else did that would post about it, I can keep my reign forever and ever. I'm making this post from my bathroom in case you are wondering. Yes, the time and day is accurate. I am not at school. I will explain later. First, I think you need to hear about the end of my week.
Wednesday:
We had some guest speakers in Physics. They were very nice, but one got a little "evolutiony" for Eric, so he spoke up. I almost shut him up by just saying "Is there proof that God exists?", but some higher power told me not to. Other than that, nothing much happened.
Thursday:
Thursday was nice because I spent the whole day being happy that I was getting a haircut. In Photography, I checked out to go to Mr. Messner's room to hang out with the Psych kids. In his class, they were still learning after an AP test : O. It was actually a very interesting class and I found myself wanting to pay attention. It was a little awkward when he was debriefing the class from a video and he looked at me and stared very confusedly at me for a while before looking away realizing that no, I wasn't in his class. After school, I got my haircut. I think she took off about 4 inches of hair. It feels a lot better now, and it goes much better with my goatee.
Friday:
It was a boring day again. The weather was too good to stay in class, so I spent band and Physics on the field playing frisbee. Mr. Davis is a good ultimate player. He is also a brick wall like I am. We ran into each other during a game and both bounced off. After school, I went to Sai's house for some SC installation. After a while, I had to go, but we had gotten in some LAN SC via Bohdon's computer. We also got in a bit of GoW.
Saturday:
I had to get up early for frisbee. It was a beautiful day for frisbee except it was a little too hot (about 20 degrees so). Luckily, Orion thought to bring his tents, so we put them in the truck and gave the truck a nice long drive down to Marymoor. We spent the whole day there. We lost, then won, then lost due to some bad calls. After that, there was a team lunch at 4:00 at Red Robin. After that, I booked it home and started my 9 hour Starcraft marathon. It was awesome. Many good games were played. I apparently should have beaten Sai in a 1v1 PvT, but he beat me out and we had scores less than 1,000 points apart. It made me realize I kind of like Protoss, but I need to work on them. Later in the day, I played Keir in RvR, which became ZvT. We were both our bad races and very tired and he just had more powerful units than I did is what it came down to. He won that one. Keir also beat Sai, so I think the three of us are all pretty equal players, which is pretty cool because it can make for some entertaining 1v1s. So I played from around 5:00-2am the next day.
Sunday:
I got up at 8:00 because I am finally getting out of the habit of waking up at 9:00 on my days off (oh how I hated that). I played some Mass Effect, then started working. Dad and I moved up stuff from the garage to the living room. Kathryn and I pwned up some interior design, disagreeing with mom and dad's separate ideas, but convincing them to go with ours. After that, I power washed the deck (pictures later) and made some serious headway into cleaning my room. I went to Sai's late in the afternoon for some more SC installation, but it wont work because something extra got put on my laptop. I guess it's ok though. Someday I'll get 2 comps going on 2 games of SC.
Today:
I skipped school today. That is to say, "I'm in Victoria." I'm not really of course, but I wanted the day off, so I took my chance. I'm going to be productive today. I'm going to finish cleaning my room, take some photography assignment pictures, and do some merit badge work. I guess I'll fit in some time for my English homework. I need to finish reading Brave New World.
So basically I have a 2 day week this week. No school today, school tomorrow and wednesday, then on thursday, Jack is here, but I have a meeting with a UW counselor at 10:00, so I'm missing most of the day there. Looking forward to SB.
Peace out.
Wednesday:
We had some guest speakers in Physics. They were very nice, but one got a little "evolutiony" for Eric, so he spoke up. I almost shut him up by just saying "Is there proof that God exists?", but some higher power told me not to. Other than that, nothing much happened.
Thursday:
Thursday was nice because I spent the whole day being happy that I was getting a haircut. In Photography, I checked out to go to Mr. Messner's room to hang out with the Psych kids. In his class, they were still learning after an AP test : O. It was actually a very interesting class and I found myself wanting to pay attention. It was a little awkward when he was debriefing the class from a video and he looked at me and stared very confusedly at me for a while before looking away realizing that no, I wasn't in his class. After school, I got my haircut. I think she took off about 4 inches of hair. It feels a lot better now, and it goes much better with my goatee.

"No Funday" has been beaten
Yes, I survived this Monday and the 2 AP tests, a CE presentation, a scout meeting, and a lot of homework that came with that day. On Tuesday, I meant to post, but some outside forces prevented me from doing so. It's a pretty good story, I'll tell you about it. Oh, not now of course. You have to drudge on through the post first.
Tuesday:
It was a nice day because in Humanities, we just had some presentations. In pretty much all of my classes, nothing was going on. After that, I had to go drop off a movie we rented for our presentation the previous week, so I was late to practice. When I got there, everyone was just playing frisbee golf.
Wednesday:
Nothing much happened again. There was a calc test, so many people were gone. In Physics, there were 4 people in the class (Steven, Jack, Anton, and I) that were just sitting around and playing games. A few more class members trickled in to talk politics with Mr. Davis. We also learned about Mr. Davis' spanish teacher who let Mr. Davis know the answers to the tests and had sex with students and gave them alcohol when they were on field trips. She sounded pretty lol. In theory, we had a new record for not starting by trying to start the class at 1:00 (20 minutes late), but got sidetracked and wound up talking about how Mr. Hendrix grew up on a farm in South Dakota for about 30 minutes.
Thursday:
We filled the Humanities period with three presentations and it was very boring because we spent the whole hundred minutes listening to philosophy presentations. One of them tried to relate videogames to violence as one previous group already had (I should have spoken up against that group), but I blurted out when this group made that connection, so I felt good. The rest of my classes were pretty boring again. In Movie Genres, we started watching American Movie. It's a really unintentionally funny documentary. I would recommend seeing it.
Friday:
It was the last day of classes before the AP tests so there was mass hystudia. That's really all that happened during the day. Nothing important at all happened after school. I watched I am Legend and Hitman.
Saturday:
I got up around 8 to be at the Strawberry Festival at 9 to help set up. There was a good turnout (about 20 people), so it only took a little over an hour to set up the whole thing. I left for a while then came back at noon for the opening of the festival. Orion was there and we met up with Maddy and watched Davis and Something Simple perform for an hour. After that, there was assorted wandering before assorted leaving. I went to play tennis with Eric against these girls on JV and Varsity that we keep beating. This time, we ended at a tie and then Eric and I had to leave, so they said it was a forefeit and we lost. I guess Eric asked one of the girls to prom. I had left so I didn't get to see it and "awww" at it. That night, dad really wanted to see Iron Man, so I went with the family to see it again. It's just as good the second time around.
Sunday:
I spent the better part of the day in Vancouver because we went down there to see my Grandma for Mother's day and to see my Grandpa who had just gotten out of surgery a couple days before and was in bed. He had to have tubes sewn and taped to him because he tried to rip them out in his sleep. Also, when we were there, he tried to escape from his bed. He was trippin off of the meds he was on, but he was able to hold down a conversation at least. I heard that earlier in the week, he was calling board meetings and commenting on what a nice campground he was at.
Monday:
The Monday from the black lagoon. I woke up early to get to my theory test on time. The theory test was actually really fun and somewhat funny, such as when they randomly played mexican music when everyone was expecting classical music. My singing was very off key, but I at least will get credit for the right rhythm. The Physics test went not so well. My brain was tired after trying to do well on the theory test. I fell asleep during the free response section. I will have gotten less than 50% on that test, but what I answered I probably got right. After that, I had to haul butt to my CE presentation at Shorewood, where I was the last to go. They had been waiting for me for a couple minutes before I arrived. I didn't have to see other people's presentations and I got mine done quickly (actually almost exactly the same time the last one took). After that, I went home and started some homework and then went to the scout meeting where they were practicing lighting fires. Bohdon is pr0 at fire making. After that, I did more homework then went to bed.
Tuesday:
Tuesday started out well. Mrs. Hastig got very mad at the people that skipped the whole day for just the Psych exam. In 4th period, we got to check out. I went to Messner's room to hang out with Sai. I wound up giving him a ride to the Shoreline Center since I had nothing else to be doing. After that, I went home for some vgs. When I went to leave, the truck wouldn't start. It sounded like battery failure. I had to go borrow mom's car. I wound up coming back during the middle of lunch, so I might be in trouble on Thursday in photography for not coming back although I got there as fast as I could. After frisbee, I had to walk home because mom wouldn't pick up her phone. When I got home, she asked me why I didn't call, then she opened her phone and saw the 16 missed calls... I was quite angry at her for that. I also had tried the house phone a bunch.
Well that's basically what's been happening. Now that the AP tests are done, I can get going on more important things, such as Prom, 5 merit badges, and other stuff. Seabrook coming up will be nice. I'll post later on. Peace out.

Glad that week's over.
Well I got through the last week. In both my projects, I seemed to get away from the assignment and explained the history in both, but luckily my partners were able to wrangle the point back to the task at hand. I think that my interest in history lately is due to my history class deficiency. This is the first time I have not had a history/social studies class since as long as I can remember, even into elementary school. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed that subject until it left me. Well anyways, I think I will get on to the week.
Monday:
The Physics test went well due to....outside forces. After that, nothing much happened beyond working from 3-10:30 with scant breaks for necessary functions such as urination and consumption of food.
Tuesday:
The work day Mrs. Hastig had allowed for us in Humanities turned out not to be as it said (a presentation work day), but instead was a reading day. I started Brave New World, which is a pretty good book. In 6th period, Eric, Brad, and I made our presentation on War Movies. We were the first group to present. We were also going to be the only group that day, so we took our time and had a great presentation that lasted 80 minutes (the idea was to try to get close to 50 minutes). People were looking a little glazed over by the end, but we did well and got 60/60 on the assignment. Major grade helpage! Right after that, I began work on my presentation that was due on Thursday.
Wednesday:
It was like the calm before the storm. Nothing exciting happened and after school, I worked my butt off again until about 10:00 on the project.
Thursday:
Kelley and I made our Puritanism presentation. Orion said I got a little too much into the history, but I couldn't help it, I was just so interested in it. Also, with Orion's help, I managed to relate Puritanism to Starcraft, making for massive pwnage on that slide. After that class, I was very relieved. We had a pep assembly at which the drill team wore their spandex suits. Their dance wasn't so much a dance as it was a presentation (the sexual kind). The rest of the day was like the calm after the storm. There was an ultimate game that I was very late to due to it taking a while longer than we thought to get our passports going.
Friday:
It was almost like a day off since pretty much nothing happened. In band, we watched the jazz band. In Physics, we did nothing. In Theory, we didn't get started until about 70 minutes into the class (new record!). After school, Iron Man was viewed. It was a pretty good movie.
Saturday:
I was at my aunt's house this weekend, so I had to get going to Shorewood a bit earlier for the pickup of the team. It was raining (of course), so I picked up Orion and his fold out tent thing (referred to as "the tarp" from hereon out). We tied it to the roof of the Taurus and headed for Shorewood where we picked up some people. All the people showing up to the game filled Jack's car and my car exactly. We won our first game, then had to haul back to Shoreline A for our second game against the 7-0 Monroe. We scored the first point, but then got pwned. I think the final score was somewhere around 15-3 or something. After that, Davis, Orion, and NOT STEVEN (FOR SHAME), and I played some Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. It was good and very funny due to Orion's inability to fly with a character that can fly.
Sunday:
On Sunday, I took the day as off as I could because I was tired from the previous day. I didn't get much done, but that was okay since I had no homework.
Today:
Today I didn't have much to do. Classes were less stressful than last week because of a lack of pending assignments. All I have left to do is take 2 AP tests and do my CE next monday and I eliminate three big things right there. I am quite sure Physics will be easier after that test. I hear we have a project, but it shouldn't be too bad. In Theory, people think we will do stuff and I kind of think we will, but really hope we don't. Well peace out for now.

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.

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.
