Ergh. I'm still trying to sort out my CSS so that the links will not overlap the blog. What you see know is my latest effort. I forgot that a higher screen resolution would throw off the padding, because there's more pixels to work with. Thanks for the advice, Rajni. I think I can work it out, though. Maybe. We'll see. I still want to be able to add the quotage to this layout, and to avoid using tables at all. Cause... just because. I know I can write the CSS so that it will hold shape, I'm just not exactly sure how to do it.
Yesterday's ramblings and woe-is-me-ness is in the uJournal. I just didn't feel like signing into Blogger and seeing the Slightly Screwed-Up Layout again. Sigh. Today, they had another state standardized test, so we didn't do anything in classes. Mrs. Anderson held a practice AP English exam first thing, though. Ugh. Three hours of essay-writing and passage-reading. I think I did okay on the multiple-choice, even though I answered far more questions than I meant to. I think I only omitted five or six on the whole thing. I thought the time allotment was just about right. Though, at one point, I thought I was five minutes behind, so I tried to hurry up, and then later I realized I was about five minutes
ahead. Mrs. Anderson is
so nice! She brought in flowers (for extra oxygen, I assume), her nifty scented candles, and snacks: peanut butter crackers, cheese crackers, and the good kind of juice boxes. And she had a clock with a large display, so we could keep track of the time. AND she set up essay booklets for us so we could get a feel for the amount of space we'll have. She had it all planned out, although I doubt she meant for the AP Calculus students to set up camp outside, waiting for us to finish so they could start
their practice exam. It was long, very tiring, hard on my hand, and pretty much the only thing I did today.
Lunch with Greg, Alanna, McClain, Stephanie, and Jarred. Pretty interesting conversation. Greg, Alanna, Jarred, and I shared a table at the exam, so we just kinda picked up from our earlier chats. Remind me not to contest Jarred's Trek-ness. Lord. I used to be a Trekkie. It was all about
Voyager, but
Deep Space Nine was cool, too. I never got into
Enterprise, though. When it premiered, it was on oppposite
Dawson's Creek, and I worked on Wednesdays, and you can't tape two different channels at once.
After lunch, went to Trig seventh period. Did nothing. The class we relocated to was watching to was watching
The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps, which was very distracting, as I was trying to catch up in
Billy Budd. I
swear no one told me we were supposed to read it over the break! Eighth period, cut out of Dr. J's to do the Knowledge Master Open with Mr. T (for It's Academic). It continued after school, but I couldn't stay because
both of my parents went to Ryan's soccer banquet, so there was no one to pick me up. I don't see why one of them couldn't have skipped it so I could go to my
sole after-school activity, but whatever. That makes me sound selfish.
Came home, did laundry, practiced piano. No actual homework because of no actual class. Ate, watched
Jeopardy!, finished reading while watching
My Wife and Kids and the very beginning of
George Lopez. My Wife and Kids is really funny. I've only seen it once before. There was this little boy named Franklin that was
so adorable. Now that I think about it, he reminded me of Ryan, only way more articulate. And cuter, because I don't have to live with him. Did some multiple-choice AP stuff Mrs. Anderson gave us before the break, watched
Angel (which is wicked cool lately), then got online.
I just realized how many tv shows I mentioned tonight. Huh. That says something that I don't want to hear. Late now, school tomorrow.
