hooray for Fridays!

It's the first Friday of school, hooray! We have survived the first week of sophomore year! /applause

Virgil, Momo, and I had a library party today in which we did bio homework. It was fun and peaceful and I got a lot of work done.

We did a lab-thing in biology today involving food coloring, milk, and soap. It was beautiful. The point of it was something to do with the polarity of soap molecules and how they're emulsifying agents and how soap breaks up fats, but the only thing I really understood was the part that the colors were pretty. 8D

Fencing "starts" (meaning that I might just be tempted to go) next week. Some of the scary fencing eleven-year-olds are actually freshmen this year. They're not the particularly scary ones, though. Just the ones who, like, joined halfway last year and aren't very scary at all.


Yeah, I was going to write a depthy post today, but. . . yeah. Sorry for being so lame. ^^;

lookie there, we survived!

Ah, yes. We have completed our first day of finals (foreign language and social studies). And we all survived! Crazy, right?
We've just got a couple more days of sitting and getting hand cramps. It shouldn't be too bad, though the scary two (physics and geometry) are coming up...

I'm in that really terrible dying brain stage now. Like, I'm not bubbling in a Scantron still, but there's that horrible promise that we'll all be right back to regurgitating formulas next week. But I think we definitely deserve at least a little bit of tonight to just relax, chill, and not think about industrialism in 19th century Europe/deponent verbs conjugate passive, translate active/acceleration is change in velocity over time say whatttt.

One nice thing I think a few of us are looking forward to is that we get to switch from Psychics to Chem this semester, and apparently the science teachers are supposed to be a... little? better at chemistry. Wish us luck :)

So, yeah. Next week's bound to be a little hectic. Sorry if any of us flip out on you. Finals, you know.

With all due respect,
House

(P.S. Some of the other girls seem to have... height-related issues? I dunno, don't ask me.)


edit: as we all know, xiy is a crazy good artist. she's drawn us a pretty new banner that you should be admiring (it's up there, the one where we're all in a line and I look like a caterpillar^^^) right now :)

Ahhhhh.
We're finally on winter break! Ahhhhh.

Okay, it's not quite as magical as it was back, like, last year, but the two weeks we get with no school is definitely something that makes me very, very happy.  Sure, finals are around the corner.  And sure, I've got a ton of reading and stuff over these two weeks.  But whatever.  Personally, I'm just looking at that no school thing.

My last day before break was pretty frikkin sweet.  Our first concert was last  night, so the bands all got a chillax-with-omg-are-those-DOUGHNUTS?! day.  And one of our high school's graduates came back for a visit in Latin.  And I actually understood everything our teacher was screaming in Physics.  And Quidditch'll be starting up once we're back and done with exams!  Quite exciting, yes.*

But enough with the happy stuff, I guess.  Eventually, I'll have to do the homework they gave us for break, and finals are gonna be absolutely mental.  Whatever.  Everything's chill for now.

Anyway, I'm about ready to go and find a mug of tea and sleep for the next few hundred hours.

Happy winter break, y'all <3

With all due respect,
House

P.S. Look out for a 6LCF winter-themed surprise in the near future.

*But then our History teacher had us watch a European film with examples of 'propaganda' [= massacre and blood >.<] in it... eeeh.

deck the halls!

Lookie there, the holidays are just about upon us once again.  Though I'm not much religious, I do enjoy the holidays.  (Sure, all the squealing kids can get annoying, but still.) Yayy ^_^

Went to see (Ahhhh) Billy Elliot (ahhhh) last night. Yeah, I know that the hubbub has mostly subsided.  Mum and I had, like, really good seats, front and centre.  And you know how after, like, a musical or a concert  that you particularly like, you've got all the songs playing through your head for the full week before and after the performance? Yeah, that's where I am now :)

Another song that's been stomping its merry way around my head the past couple days is this one that Virgil had me listen to the other day, "Bread" by Charlie McDonnell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MIgvcCZTCs&feature=youtube_gdata).  But she presented the song with a challenge: figure out what the heck it's supposed to signify.  Aggghhh

And... yeah, that's about it in my life at the mo'.  I'm gonna go get my dinner of oatmeal, and then imma gonna go to bed.  (Didn't want to sound too negative after Lynda's post yesterday, but I've been wayyy too sleep-deprived this week.  Like, I could probably count the hours of sleep I got this week pretty easily. [See, I can't count that high...])
Gosh, that's pitiful. House = oatmeal, musicy crap, and sleep.

With all due respect,
House

Edit: Oh, right! Theme week.
Uhhh.  Errr.  I didn't write very much when I was little... the only things I can really think of at the moment would be the diaries in which I wrote my juvenile little crushes and dreams.  Cute? Yeah.  Ready for the public?  Never.
When I was young... when I was young, I did a lot of reading.  Yeah, I read and listened to music, but I didn't really really love music like I do now.  Oh, and I made art!  When I was littler, I was wayy into art.  Picasso and Van Gogh were[/are] my favourite stars :)
