And the Crisis Ends...

I finished my extra credit project for Chemistry late last night, and now I have an A in that class! This like, totally energy boosts my mood. Now I have straight A's again. Now I have to decide what I'm gonna do for my Graphic Design project, which is we have to make a comic book. I'll probably post pictures on here of my ideas and see what sorta response I get.

This week also marked the start of tennis, which involves more physical activity than I have every performed in my ENTIRE LIFE. We didn't have it today because it was raining. My whole body still hurts though. Ugh. Okeedokee, I'm gonna go start my government project so that I'm not in a time crunch tomorrow.

Looking Upwards

Recently, I've been having a lot of trouble with Chemistry. I honestly, just haven't understood the chapter we're currently working on. But today, things are looking up. My teacher explained everything I wanted to know, so now I understand most of the chapter, she put in my extra credit so my grade's up to an 85, which I will definitely be able to jack up to a 90- something so I can get all A's again. She also announced what the extra credit essay is so I can start working on it and get some more extra credit. Now I'm about to start studying so I can ace the test we have tomorrow (supposedly it might be postponed until Monday, we'll see though).

Last weekend, the day of the Oscar's, my Dad and I went and saw No Country for Old Men, which was incredible and definitely earned the honor of Best Picture. The bad guy in that movie was crazy creepy. His main weapon through the movie was some sort of oxygen tank that shot gas into people at super high speeds like a completely silent gun. It was sooooo weird, but amazing at the same time. I definitely recommend it, even though it had a sort of Sopranos-ish ending.

Okay, I'm gonna go study for Chemistry, and hopefully go to bed at a decent hour.

stress.

I'm a little stressed out right now. I have a Japanese Test tomorrow, I have to finish some sort of an art project, I have a field trip on Wednesday (which I'll have to miss a test for), and I have a C in chemistry cause my teacher gave me a zero for something I definitely did. For those reasons, I'm shredding a little in the mind. I can't get a C in chemistry. It just can't happen.

Coolie Oolie

I saw "There Will Be Blood" today with my Dad during my sister's DI meeting. It was the weirdest thing. It wasn't a really defined story line (it just oversaw this one man's life), but it was still an amazing movie and it kept my attention the entire time. Daniel Day Lewis was amazing, as always, in the movie. He's such a good actor, you can't imagine him as portraying any one else, even though he's done a great deal number of other movies. I definitely recommend it. Next weekend my we're going to see "No Country for Old Men" since we both love the Coen brothers, who wrote and directed it. I'm excited.

I'm still on my Alice in Wonderland stint. Today I made an Alice in Wonderland shrinky dinks necklace (nothing better to do). I love the Alice-Reggie pairing sooo much, so do all my friends, which makes it all the better. My friends have different interests so its good to have something we can all relate to. Tomorrow I most likely won't update, I have an orthodontist appointment and I'm getting my new "The Looking Glass Wars" book. I'm excited!

Almost sick.... Again.

I think I'm getting a cold again. My throat's super froggy. I feel gross. I'm really tired too.

Today was slow and boring. Almost went to a pep rally, but they let ALL of the freshmen in before the Sophomores so none of us got in. It SUCKED. I also got another 5 letters from college's that I had to sign up to get information from. All of this annoys me.

On a positive, I started reading The Looking Glass Wars. It's very good. The artist Bri-chan on deviantart (www.bri-chan.deviantart.com) inspired me to start reading it. I definitely recommend checking out her Alice in Wonderland comics, the pairings a little awkward, considering it's Hatter and Alice, but it's absolutely adorable. It's my new fandom. I love it.

BEST DAY EVER!

Okay, today was ah-mazing. Not because it was Valentine's Day (gag), but, because, believe it or not, science fair. Usually science fair's a drag, but this year it was AWESOME. First, it got me out of Japanese (I hate that class with a firey passion) forty-five minutes early. Then, I got to miss all of second period, and some of third, while me and all of my Summit friends waited to be judged. During this whole thing, there was a fire drill and laying under tables where the boards were on.

After we were judged, I went to my third period class and checked in. But it turns out we weren't doing anything in that class, I ate lunch and met back up with some of my friends that were chilling in my English Classroom and stayed there for the remainder of third period. It was soooo much fun, and soooooo crazy.

Then the pain of Valentine's Day came back, and now I feel more emo than usual.

P.S.

This is the only picture on my Camera that I'm actually in, but I look really bad. Figured what the heck, why not. My friend Win looks really good in it though.

Icy Traffic

My mom, my sister and I were coming back from Annapolis Mall today (we had off school because of primaries) and we had ice on and off all day. So, of course, we got stuck in beyond crazy traffic. We were shuttled from road to road, hitting slowed speeds. Eventually we were about five-ten miles from home and we were stuck in dead stopped traffic. We weren't moving. It ended up taking us an hour to drive what would've taken fifteen on a regular day. It sucked. There's still freezing rain, so we'll probably have at least a two hour delay. Fingers crosssed.

This evening, while doing my impossible geometry that NO ONE knows how to do, I watched the movie Across the Universe. The music was good, but overall the movie was pretty boring. I really didn't like it. It was confusing, but eventually I got the gist of it. I wouldn't recommend it.
