One AP exa...

One AP exam down, 2 to go. The English AP exam sucked and was too long, but I think I did relatively okay. My essays were rather crappy, compared to my usual writings, but adequate. Afterwards, our little posse headed over to Chik-Fil-A for our hour long off campus lunch and had some yummy foodage. Laughter, mocking, and face stuffage ensued. Then we went back for 2 periods of school, one of which I completely slept through. Somehow ended up hanging out with Ken, even though we both needed to study and had agreed prior to today that we would just see each other tomorrow. Needless to say, little studying occurred. Oh well. After pestering the boy, I ran off to college for some "fun" time in the language lab (which I used to study) and my Japanese final. Yeah, that final sucked. I wanted to get an A in that class, to keep my 4.0 GPA in college, but I don't think anyone's going to be able to get one, unless she curves it. All in all, today was excessively tiring. It should be noted this was not helped by my body's decision to become allergic to something within the last 3 days, after 17 years of NO allergies. Thanks Body, you always make my life so much more interesting. =P -Cap'n Midori

I really wish I had a good camera so I could take pictures of the pretty storm...Lightning that spiders from cloud to cloud pwns.

Well,...

Well, recently my church had a shoe drive for this charity but I know one can never have enough shoes for orphans in Russia. Since I personally think this is an awesome charity, I'm putting the link in my lj in the hopes folk'll maybe help em out by sending some shoes. Even though a lot of y'all don't share the same religious beliefs as me and this is a Christian ministry, I think that helping kiddos is above all that, so please check it out:http://www.shoesfororphansouls.org/-Cap'n Midori

Well...

Well, day 3 of TAKS and we got to take the history portion. Yeah, we started about 8.40ish and I was done by 9. I might have missed 2 questions. So, after that I took an hour and a half long nap, only to wake up to find I still have and hour and a half till I was allowed to leave the room. I promptly (after a secret call to my mother on my handy-dandy cell phone)became quite ill (don't you just hate those cramps?). As a result I "went home" and was cured by an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet and cuddling. Did my Japanese oral yesterday and pwned it. Hopefully I shall do the same on the final, but I'm worrying a bit. Need to get together with Thom to study...heh, he invited me to go drinking with him the other night. I was muchly amused. Silly boys.Kitty Saga update:Hobbit is no longer confined to just my room and there has yet to be any bloodshed. =]-Cap'n Midori

Standardized...

Standardized tests are a royal waste of paper. Come to think of it, today was a royal waste in general. Had to take the math TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills), which was 70 questions long and painfully easy. After I finished, I took an hour nap and then read a chapter in my AP bio review book. That was the ONLY thing productive that occurred today. Afterward, instead of letting us go home at 12 (which would have made sense, since they had already gotten their money for our attendance) we had to keep going. So, since 3rd period is the lunch period, it has to 2 hours long (we have 4 lunches), which left 40-50 minutes for 4th and 5th period. Seeing as I have speech for 3rd, I did nothing, and there wasn't enough time to do anything in 4th or 5th. Needless to say, nothing was accomplished from the entire 8 hours I spent at school today. Yay. On the bright side, only 2 more classes of gov. and Japanese (I have to write a 30 sentence oral tonight...=[)! =] Soon I shall be able to go to jiu-jitsu twice a week again (which is the minimum required for such things, though I'll likely actually be going 3 times), so I can get assessed for my blue belt. ^_^Off to work on the nihongo.-Cap'n Midori

Ok, I'...

Ok, I'm tired of having to tell everyone what I'm up to nowadays so I suppose I'll just do a quick little overview. Right now, I'm taking a couple college classes (gov and 2nd semester of Japanese)and getting ready to graduate from hs. I hate the institution known as Coppell High School with a passion, so I am escaping it a year early. Hopefully, with the passing of my 3 AP exams (English Language, bio, and US hist)I can enter college as a sophomore next year(I should have 30 credit hours)...As of now, however, I am exceptionally busy (school 9 hours a day, what?), hence the decided lack of actual entries in this here online journally thing (which I was "given" under duress).Kitty saga:George met Hobbit and it was rather anticlimatic. They sniffed, and then wandered off (George promptly tried to steal Hobbit's food) . However, Scamp was slightly less amiable. After growling, hissing, and scaring Hobbit till he ran under the bed he tried to chase the poor little guy. I promptly kicked Scamp out of the room. Hopefully Scamp will warm up to him. =]I want to build a Japanese garden in my backyard. Any ideas on what kind of plants/structures to put in it?-Cap'n Midori
