A pretty random post..but then not

Skool is kool. Not for the most part. I’m sitting in the library tring hard to finish my English essay, but I drifted off subjects again. Surely bloging is much more fun than finding color symbolism; besides, I needed to update.
I woke up this morning just like any other Sundays. I stayed up late again last night drawing .(Hopefully it will pay off someday..) It felt pretty warm outside judging from the temp in my room, so I topped on a hoodie and got ready. When I walked down stairs my dad was already sitting with his daily waffle and milk ( same goes for me unfortunately). he said to me:
”look outside, it’s snowing!”
I was surprised to see it, but it’s true. I wasn’t all too excited though like the first time snow hit last year. If I woke up today to see 5 inches of white in my yard, then I would probably be excited. It was indeed very cold outside, but just yesterday it was warm like spring. How things change. Just yesterday I was running around in a T-shirt shopping with my parents for Thanksgiving. Just yesterday I performed at our 2nd band concert in our “mass produced” concert attires. Just yesterday, and two month, I wasn’t here at all. It’s weird I tell ya.
Anywho, enough with the serious stuff, I should get back to English and stop blabbering.Time doesn’t care, and snow doesn’t either! So much stuff are going to happen this week; I’m not sure I wanted it all. I’ll conclude my post here and wish you all to have a Red Badge of Courage, but just don’t go killing yourself. :)

Did you know?
It’s illegal to buy booze on Sundays in Indiana.(Who would’ve known?)

Same O, same o...

>.<. This week's been going slower than usual, and I'm definatly not looking forward to tommorrow. School is okay for the most part, except it's a lot harder. Especially the tests which chews off so much of the final grade----and mine is not good.
Biology sucks the most b/c I failed my first and only test so far. Though I tried my best to bring up the grade, I have a B-(One pt from a C...). On top of that, I thought I was doing well in Geometry, just to find out I have a B. A mediocre B!! I don't really care anymore..You shouldn't be judged upon your grade, but SATs--I suck more on that...
On lighter notes...nothing.
Tomorrow we get our progress report with all my wonderous grades on it..I'm so screwed.
School isn't that great this week.I'm still pretty busy with homework and the english paper on red Badge of Courage.
But to relieve my stress, I've been in my artistic mood lately. I've been working more with photoshop and open canvas painting.
Just one more week...

I'm in a stabby mood..^.^

Back by popular demand, it's...

BaZz! Well I’m back and bazooka network is up and running! Not that I went anywhere... I have been very busy lately, school work primarily. I stayed up all night for the past couple of days working on papers; I guess I’m wrong about things are easier here. Biology isn’t going so well here. I currently have an 80 in the class... oh and I wonder why, perhaps..I failed my first test? Yup. I can’t blame it all on myself now, since I did miss just about oh 8 weeks of school. So to make up for it, I’m gonna work hard on our science project paper. I’m actually proud of myself for working diligently and not slack off, and yay, I got a 100!^.^ All the other classes are okay, finally finished my History paper, and I found out Mr. Pughe changed it to be due on Mon... You can say I’m abit short of luck, but it does pay off.

Today we had a 1/2 day in school, which meant we got out at noon= 30 min classes. It’s nice...no work, just talks. At 11 we even had a convo in the auditorium to watch the symphonic orchestra and percussion ensemble perform. The orchestra was good, they played Chicago and LOTR; I kinda wish I played a string. The “drummers” were..intresting. It’s funny how there are about 13 of them and they have their own “drumming” class. At the end they did a performance on garbage cans.
I like the black light show much better...back in the days...

So that killed and hour of class and we all happily headed home for a fun-filled Thursday afternoon. I had a different plan though.
The Union.
Gennia invited me to go with her again [see post 11/2] and Lenna. So I said yes and we walked to campus after school. Purdue’s not that far from our school actually. The closest building is only 5 mins away. After struggling long with the weather (yup..the north wind has finally landed), we arrived after 10 mins. As I expected, the place was pretty empty. After all school is still in session. But every once and a while some computer geeks (no offence) would come in and play like a round of DDR in oni mode---guess they need to relief their DDR urge after every class...How funny.
We hung out till 2 O’clock and headed back for the school where my mom picked me up. I wasn’t planning on it but Jennifer called me to go see a movie. Well sure. So at 3 we went to see...well what else than Matrix. I’ve heard many comments about the movie and how it was “crap”, crappest of em all. Then I heard it was “awesome.” I’ll be my own judge.
Well...it was good. The fight secenes were awesome and other scenes were sad and shock. Like when they...okay, I won’t spoil it for those who’s still in confusion. The end was very confusing though... All and all it was decent. We even stayed after the credits because we are such devoted fans...they could’ve at least put some stuff at the end, maybe like, oh a trailer? >.<>

One more thing

Oh yeah folks, don't forget about the Lunar eclipse tonight! Once in a life time chance! (Not really..but way to advertise..)

Week4

I haven't been in the mood lately too post, but I dragged myself here b/c, well, there's nothing else too do. I slept in late today and it felt great, but then now there's nothing to do. I finally got Priston Tale to work, but its on my dad's laptop. So I'm sitting here..chowing down my Raman Noodles; I wish it was yersterday again...
After an extensive planning to go see "Matrix Revolution", I ended up going to see the school play with some friends. For one I heard Revolution sucked..worse than Reloaded. So is it worth my 7 bucks? I dunno, guess I will find out next Thursday.
The play: "Phantom of the Opera." I heard about the novel before but never read it. It was about an hour and 30 mins long. Part of it was funny watching people I know acting, and the other part is laughing at the poor acting of the main character, Christine. Worth $4? part of it..at least I get extra credit.

(Okay okay, this post was short, I promise to add more content next week if I'm not so lazy. And the answer to pic of the day was: well yes Cassie, cell phone with out the cover!)

Just a few changes

Yup.
Halloween is over ( sad..) so I must switch my layout back to the way it was. Smart as I am, ( just look at all these HTML work..) I didn't save my old template.
Genius.
So for the last 1+ hour I've been working on a new template to make the page fresher. I've added some stuff but not too much. I'm suprised it took this long. Well, hope you enjoy the new layout, b/c I worked hard on it. Although it doesn't look as good as some other's blog, ( cough) I do deserve a little credit.

Anywho, not much happening today. I have a new Pic-of-the-day up, so enjoy and keep those guesses coming.

Happy Halloween..ish

I haven't had chance to post on Halloween night nor last night. Pretty busy that I am.
The story begins on Halloween..2003. The day started out fine;school was just there to get over with. There were some people that dressed up; good and bad.Besides my first Biology test which I most likely failed, everything else was good. I rode the school bus home as usual, and it feels like forever on a friday. As soon as I got home, I went on the computer and played DR. No reason particularly, just felt like it; help pass the time. I was waiting for Genia to call, since I'm going trick-or-treating with her. Around 6:30 she finally did after getting back from swim practice. I headed to her house with my costume.
Yeah the costume. I couldn't really decide to be a Matrix rip-off or a Mafia mob. The only thing I agreed on was my black trench coat. With Genia's help ( she went as a pimp/mob), I pulled off as a mob..ish. White Tshirt, skirt, tie; school girl look? I had various comments by different people: Wallstreet broker, gangster, a Blues Brother, etc... But hey, who cares about that? it's all about the candy.
Oh yes the candy. Genia lives in University Farms, which is the biggest subdivision in town---300+ houses, practically 1/2 the students lives there.( Now I kinda wished we bought that house there...) We covered alot of ground, but that just meant more candy. It all works out.
We talked and walked for about 2 hrs. The scaring-kids-and-steal-their-candy idea didn't really work out, but we got tons of candy. Oh and can't forget the toothbrush.
After that we went to the Union. It's basically a campus hang-out place. (Note: If you don't know already, I live in a college town---Purdue University..go Boilermakers!) The main purpose was goto the arcade and what else then DDR. She's a huge DDR freak. It's kewl b/c it was Halloween night. We weren't the only people dressed in costumes, some goth and angels, and transsexual and nerds; alot of Neos and Trinitys. The place was pretty good. there's the arcade, bowling ally, pool table, and food place. We didn't stay that long, about an hour, but just in time to watch college geeks who doesn't have anything better to do than play DDR. Interesting I suppose, "Max Unlimited" on standard. ( For all you non-DDR people...that's hard/insane.) So the day is good. I had fun; makes me feel young again.


On the other hand, yesterday was long. I had to get up at 8 for a "fun-filled" trip to Chicago. How I loath getting up early on weekends.
Chicago isn't all that far, 2+ hours. I'm use to long road rides now; I use to hate being in the car for 1 hours going the Nashville. The purpose of this trip is..well let's see...not Lowe's, but yes, furniture store! :) This one is okay, I kind of looked forward to it, but then it changed in the end...
IKEA is the name. It's a huge warehouse sized store selling furniture, decors, rugs, and all that stuff. It's okay b/c it sells contemporary stuff and most are pretty cheap. There were hordes of people, and believe it folks, the parking lots had more cars then Wal-Mart does. It's a 3-story building in a circular design. We browsed the store for almost 3 hrs. Things didn't turn out all "peachy", we argued alot like your normal everyday family. I was tired towards the end and bored. I bought little stuff here and there for my study room; lime green and orange never looked this good.
So my Chicago trip was fair. I slept the way back and before I knew it, home sweet home.
