Finally. The weekend. I haven't had the chance to sleep late since the 9th. I don't care what time I open my eyes in the morning, I'm not getting out of bed until 10. Moving my self-imposed bedtime up has helped a little, though. I figure, if I get offline by eleven (okay, 11:15), then I can be in bed around midnight. Now, if I could just get ready for school faster, I wouldn't have to get up as early as I do now, and I could get more sleep without sacrificing Internet time. Mom says I'm slow. I say I'm meticulous.
I am
very slowly working on parts of my new site. I haven't quite decided how I want to lay out this blog, though, so I'm going to hold off on the switch until I can get it just right. I haven't decided what sort of theme I want (besides the blue-and-white color scheme), though. Maybe stars. Something muse-y. Any ideas?
Dr. J's test yesterday was more difficult than usual (I think). It was only the second time this year that I turned in
any of the homework on time, though. Well, I turned in half yesterday and half today, but it's the principle that matters. I started earlier than usual this time (like,
before the test), and he always assigns the easier problems, so it wasn't difficult, and I am proud of myself physics-wise. I'm usually the first person in my period to turn in the homework. I checked the grade lists, and I was the only one who turned in
anything for chapters 18 and 19, and I have (had?) the second-highest grade in all the classes (which means one of the physics super-geniuses has been slacking -- tsk). Dr. J said he wants to clone me. He is
such a nice guy, even when suffering through five sections of AP Physics B puts him in a horrid mood.
Speaking of AP, I only found out today that we're supposed to register for the AP exams now. Must have missed that announcement from Mrs. Anderson. I only have two AP classes (English Language and Physics B). While physics is not exactly Greek to me, it's still foreign, so I'm not even going to bother with that one. I fully intend to take the English exam, though. I just have to con my parents into picking me up three times a week instead of my usual two. (Must get license...) Either that, or It's Ac on Mondays and Thursdays instead of Mon./Wed. But the AP sessions go until 5, so I'd only make the last part of It's Ac... Grr. And this is on top of regular homework and Internet time.
And studying for the SAT. My verbal rocks, but my math is rusty. I do the College Board Question of the Day, and lately I've been missing the math ones. Not good. So much studying to do, so little spirit to actually do it all.
Whoa. Sims, could you have made Chapter 5 any longer? This is probably going to wind up as Chapters 5
and six. If you start out with long chapters, you can continue that way, but once you've set a pattern of short chapters, you should try to stick to it. Great job with the Quidditch scene, by the way. It may need some POV tweaking, but I can picture the match (game?) fairly easily. Any thoughts on publishing the beta-ed chapters on FF.net?
No piano tonight; my teacher's out of town today. I stayed home to watch the Rugrats while my parents went to the movies. Not a bad deal. I got to watch
Lizzie McGuire (love that show... must find fanlisting) and parts of the new Disney Channel movie,
Right on Track. It was pretty good, but then again, I love Disney Channel movies. Also saw part of the
Big Urban Myth Show on MTV. This episode was Britney's stalker-fending-off doubles (false), Pop Rocks and soda (false), marijuana cigarettes (false), waking up sleepwalkers (false), and a few others that I can't remember. The true myths (is that an oxymoron?) are always neat, though. Like, there are tiny traces of cocaine in most ATM cash. And Courtney Love's dog really did die from choking on one of her breast implants. Creepy, but much fun to watch. Ttfn, got stuff to do tomorrow.
