Finals and Finals and Finals and Sadness.

Hellooo.

Oh, gosh. We are in the middle of finals x.x (At least NHD is over for now...)

Thankfully, the two that I think were hardest for me, APUSH and algebra, are over. Sooo lovely. I spent a while after the math final on Friday on the phone with Lynda, sobbing with her over how we're never gonna graduate/go to college/make it past tenth grade and how little we want to take Tuesday's biology final.
The next couple days will be spent studying for biology, which I hope isn't too bad, maybe, hopefully? ^.^"

*sighs* Ummm, not much has been going on in my life lately.
Momo, Virgil, and xiy all got their copies of The Fault in Our Stars, so they've been spazzing the frick out over how sad and amazing it is. We've decided to read it for our book club, and since I wasn't devoted enough to buy my own special copy, I'm borrowing xiy's. I'm not, like, a giant fan of John Green's stuff, but I like it on occasion, and I hear that this one is really good.  So I get to read that once finals are over. It should be a really lovely way to unwind :)

Finals. Yeah. Finals... eghhhh. I no likey.

Anyway, I should go back to making Latin flashcards now.
I have such an exciting life. omg. You can't even comprehend how exciting.

With all due respect,
House.

tfios!!

My copy of The Fault in Our Stars came in the mail today! 8D So this post is going to be correspondingly short, because I am going to read it alllllll.


There was a math final today. It was a harrowing experience that I never want to go through again, because life sucks when you know you've done poorly on a horribly difficult math final like I have. :(


There was also an APUSH final today. That wasn't so bad.


Aaaaaand now I will go back to eating grapefruit and reading TFIOS. See you.

I Always Forget to Add a Title

Hiiiiiiiii.

I'm really bored. House, Momo, Lynda, and I are going to help out at our old elementary school's annual end-of-school carnival thing tonight, which should be really fun and stuff, but right now I'm bored. English/French finals were okay (I kind of messed up on the English because I am dumb and didn't read teh directionz, but it doesn't really matter, since I've an A in that class anyway). I never was very worried about them.

It's the weekend, woot. Hooray for summer and warmth and sun and nice breezes and watermelon (lots and lots and lots of watermelon) and ice cream and flowers and birds and blue skies and white clouds and green grass and no more school! Hooray for HPDH Part Two! Hooray for Virgil's birthday and my birthday! Happy summer; I hope yours is beautiful. ♥ 

So I found this song called Forevermore, and it's quite pretty and cutesy and even a little sad. And listening to that song sort of inspired me to draw, and so I did.


(It took a while, but I procrastinated on studying for finals in order to draw it, so it didn't really take that long.)

. . . and we'll be jolly friends forevermore!

Um, yeah. I hope you like.

Giant Squid of Angerness

I. F*CKING. HATE. OUR.* SCIENCE TEACHER.

I just drew above picture to calmly express my deep feelings of rage towards her.

Today, we took our science final.

It started out okay.

I arrived at multiple choice question 136 and almost died. 

You see, all the other science classes are one chapter ahead of ours. Our teacher told us quite plainly that the chapter that we haven't done wouldn't be on our final. 

Guess what questions 136-145 were about?

I politely raised my hand to ask her if, maybe, she would just take those off the final. She came over and I said, "You told us that these weren't going to be on the final."

She picked up the final, probably for the first time, and said, "I told you yesterday to learn this."

I shook my head, "No, you didn't," I responded coolly, "You never told us that."

"Yes, I did!"

"You really didn't, though."

"I did. You should know this." She moved on to the next person with his hand raised.

"Ms. Tin Rabbit," he asked calmly, pointing to questions 136-141, "We never learned this."

"I TOLD YOU ALL TO LEARN ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!"

Everyone else: *Shaking heads* No, you didn't. Maybe the other class. Not this one.

She storms off to Google it. 

A few minutes later she tells us that we should just know the answers. She tells us one of the answers and then leaves. 

RRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I despise her. 

Those weren't the only questions we never learned, though. I hope I get my B so I can keep my A in the class.  :/

Anyway.

On a happier note: I got my temporary license!!!!!!!! I got to drive places yesterday and Tuesday, which was fun.Can any of you drive with a licensed guardian over the age of 21? Noooo. Well,unless you can...
I'll be able to get my license before any of the other 6LCF can even get their temps (except Carrie, I guess). LOL. :D

Also, I have this amazing new song stuck in my head from Kevjumba/Nigahiga/Chestersee. Go listen to it now. So good.

I am going to go study for tomorrow's finals. Whhhhhheeeeee. 

I like chocolate ice cream.

-Momo

*Lynda, House, and I all have her. Poor, poor, poor us.

WOMEN. SO MANY WOMEN.

Hi hi.

zomg finals, you guys.
finals are coming up.
finalsss.
I was at the track the other day. I brought my Latin notecards with me (*Asian*), but I had initially gone with intent to run as training for soccer. But then I started to run and began to freak out ["I don't know any adverbs I HATE ADVERBS. SEE, THAT SENTENCE LOOKS FINE WITHOUT ADVERBS."], so I ended up walking around the track for a while in the blazing sun, reviewing vocab. {Holy cow, it was hot.} Haha, there were all these actual athletes there that were looking at me funny as I muttered to myself "Eo magis, all the more; tot so many, like in Napoleon Dynamite, SO MANY TOTS..."*
Everything in life relates back to that movie... 
So, today was my cousin's bridal shower. (Yayyy she's getting married :) ) And it was really nice and all. The bride&groom are super cute, and really happy :) And I got to see some family I really like that I don't often get to see 'cause of how far away they live! Yay!
But there are so many women. White women, that is.
Not just so many women. All the women. Like, all the women.
(Also, being the only non-white [unless you count spray-on tans] person in the room is always just the most memorable experience. Yayyyy...)

Also, I got my hair cut today. Iz lovely and shorter for the summer nao!

Aghgklfaj;kl I can't wait for it to be summer. Summer is the time for painted nails, pretty dresses, beaches, sleeping in, and watching movies in air conditioned theatres ^.^

Anyway, I should go to bed soon. Marching in the Memorial Day parade tomorrow earlyyy, then a barbecue. Yay for America.

With all due respect,
House.
*Like, I just get that image in my head. The one of him and his attractive cargo pants stuffed full of tots. So. many. tots.

school is almost over. this pleases me.

Hullo.

In English class, we've been reading Romeo and Juliet, which is a play that I both like and hate. One the one hand (<-that is what too much Greek translation does to you; you start using μεν. . . δε everywhere), Shakespeare's language is lovely. There are some bits that I really really like, and of course all the long rambling speeches are fun to read. On the other hand, the characters are kind of annoying (I think my favorite is the prince, only because he seems like the only sensible one and I feel bad for him having to run a city where the two biggest families hate each other and are constantly causing widespread chaos) and/or tiresome and not really sympathetic. So that kind of ruins it.

(I had fun writing an alternate ending, though. I stayed up rather late yesterday to finish. I do hope English Teacher likes it. The great and wondrous SBL helped me come up with a nice, grammatically-correct Latin title. I am pleased.)

Finals are coming up. Ew.

One good thing is that, supposedly, the next week or so in Curlyfryland is actually going to be sunny and warm and without precipitation, i.e., unlike what it has been since basically April. This is exciting. :D


Memorial day is on Monday; happy holiday in advance. (Have fun playing in the parade, you band people.)

Oh, and I drew you a Takumi. (Takumi, for those who aren't familiar, is a character from Looking for Alaska by John Green who has the most amazing hat ever.)

It seems like all my posts nowadays involve me showing you my art. . . I could stop, if you like.

hooray for fox hats!

 Yeah, that's probably it for today. Do please enjoy the rest of your day.

Cheers (I guess I've finally found a closing phrase),

xiy

hello, all and sundry

So, erm, right. Yeah. Right. Tuesday. My day to post. Oh gosh, what am I supposed to write about?

Well, we fencing Curly Fries skipped fencing today; or, more accurately, we were there for fail!footwork (they do things called "snakes" now instead of footwork; I suppose it's similar in theory, but snakes aren't fun at all) and then snuck out to do homework instead of actually fencing. There were, like, a ton of people there today, and it would have been terrible trying to find any working, fitting equipment.

I watched Virgil take notes about the Dalai Lama, read part of a book she had about Tibet, watched Momo do science homework, and sat around. I had homework too, of course, but all the necessary materials (textbook, Greek stuff, my brain, motivation) were all at home. 

It was, all in all, a very enjoyable experience.

You know, I really don't like the middle voice. Even though a lot of verbs have different meanings when put in said voice, a lot of them are implied and confusing and  "the subject verbs itself," which is basically what the middle voice is, just sounds so wrong. Sigh. Why does language have to be so complicated?

Okay, fail!short!rant is over.

Remember how Momo said in her post that finals are over and we can breathe without having panic attacks? Well, that may not be true. All the teachers are now firmly in "SECOND-SEMESTER-OMG-YOU-NEED-TO-COMMIT-YOURSELF-TO-DOING-WORK-AND-SETTING-GOALS-BECAUSE-IT'S-ALMOST-THE-END-OF-THE-YEAR-OKAY-LET'S-START-TALKING-ABOUT-JUNE-FINALS-NOW-OKAY" mode, and they've been assigning essays and projects like crazy. It's really annoying. ;_;


At any rate, I think I'm done.
G'bye.


xiy

Yay

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
So, I'm typing on an iPad...Soooooooooooooooooooooo fun. House says hi. So does Carrie. Ha, House just dissed Virgil. Carrie's talking about Virgil dumping Poofy and then marrying Carrie...or something. It was confusing.
xiy just(ha, the auto typey thing changed xiy to zit) said to give background info on what we're doing. We're at this lake house/condo/thingy. We are celebrating Momo's mom's acquiring of a curly fry machine. We ate curly fries and veggie tacos, then watched tv, then played this game called Phase 10. Now we're talking about our preggo teachers, and people who rule the kitchens and...making sammiches? Ha! I know how to type an exclamation point! Though I don't know how to spell it. Momo's adding in that we're celebrating end of finals.
I'm going to go and figure out what House is hhhuuttyyfvhu <--Momo's responsible for that.
Bye
Luv, Lynda
P.S. This is in blue. Use your imagination.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyz!

HI! 

Nooo moreeee mid-termsss for this yearrrr!!! WOO! LET'S PARTY! :D (At least until finals in June-ish)

Meh. My one music source is being stupid. :( Now I have to listen to what's on my computer/ iTunes. Yay. 

Blogger? Why are you switching font colours on me? Heh? 

Well, today's been just faaaantastic! 
...But then again, there are people painting out bathroom and it's me and my mom and our bird all in one room. o.O
BUT! We're seeing Cats this weekend!! :D YAYAYYYAYAYA!! I think this is either my 2nd or 3rd time seeing it. but oh well! 
 teehee and 6LCF party tomorrowwww :) 

What a great way to end finals week... 
DFTBA!♥ 

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love, 
Carrie

adsghkjlk glad that's over

Today, the 6LCF had to take an English and a math final. Five of us have a teacher who enjoys giving extremely difficult tests, and so we were freaking out all day because this teacher's math final is supposed to be ridiculously hard. Like, you need three hours to take it, when most finals are usually two-and-a-half hours long. 

So, yeah. It's over now. The worst part for me was the true/false section; "test-taking tips" and things like that tell you to look for key words (i.e., "always," "all," "some," etc) in order to help decide, but the test phrased things so that it's really difficult to tell just what the statement is trying to say. Sigh. I got about eight falses in a row and that really worried me; however, it seems that other people have gotten similar results, so I'll be cautiously hopeful that I didn't completely fail the thing.

And guess what tomorrow is? The science final! Oh, we're all just so excited to sit through two hours of physics problems we're not at all prepared to solve! Dx

I'm actually really worried that I'm going to fail the science final. I know more or less nothing about the subject. So I think that I'm just going to cram (and do the one thing people always tell you never to do) and forget it all second semester. Most of it's pretty useless, anyway.


Physics should be fun. But it's not. :|

I Forgot that it's Monday...

Happy Martin Luther King Day!!! Yay! No school! I forgot it was Monday because it feels like Sunday and I almost forgot to post. I know that I should be studying, but I can't! It's just too difficult. I might edit this post later because it sucks so much. But for now, this is all you're getting. Woohoo!

Momo

P.S. I made a 14 page math study guide yesterday. *dies*

Today's post is brought to you by the letter F.

Hey, kids! It's Saturday - you know what that means! Welcome to Virgil's world!

 

La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! Virgil loves fanfiction, and finals too! That's Virgil's worrrrrlllddd!!!

This post is brought to you by the letter F.

F is for fish

 

F is for Fanfic <3

F is for fabulous!!!

F is for finals (you're seeing through my eyes - that's what the glasses frames are for ^_^ )

F is for the grade I'm going to get on the math final... : (

So... yeah. A big shout-out to our sponsor, the letter F!!!

Epsilon greater-than,
Virgil

 

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 :)

Finals. Are. Tomorrow. *shrieks*

*stare in disbelief* sooo...I just wrote a paragraph, then had to go and eat dinner, but...the post is gone! Argh!

Oh well...

The Curly Fries have finals tomorrow! We have World Language (French, Latin, German, Chinese, etc.) and History. I'm not worried about my French finals, as it's not really that hard. I'm a little worried about my history final, there's a DBQ(Document Based Question), and while those aren't hard, they take forever. They're really quite annoying. Argh. I'll get to it when I get to it...

In other news, a certain friend of mine and a certain friend of mine were flirting with each other! :P So cute. Female was showing off her skills at badminton (though, her skills are NOTHING compared to my skillz), and Male was acting "funny" and purposely missing for Female's attention :) It was hilarious. Carrie and I had great laughs about it. We've decided they're going to have a Spring wedding, with rainbow colors.

Physics, ah, physics. This afternoon, Virgil, Momo, xiy, and I all went to science study circles so we could prepare for the science finals(as none of our teachers taught us enough). We were struggling, and then this amazing teacher came and helped us! Our troubles all flew away, and we feel smarter, at least, I do. So, I would like to thank that teacher (whose name I do not know >.>). If you are not quite sure if you're that teacher, ask yourself, "did I help a group of 4 girls-freshmen, on a problem about specific heat?" If yes, you are that teacher! (Also, the answer was 4E^1 degrees Celsius, had something about copper being put into water...) THANK YOU TEACHER THAT HELPED ME/US! I'm sure we would all like to shrink you and bring you along to our science finals...*sigh* wish that could happen.

Last week I promised that I would synopsis-fy this Chinese drama I watched...I lied. I'm way to tired/busy studying, and I also need to sleep, so that I shall be awake for my finals tomorrow. I'll try for next week, because it's really hilarious, and I want to write about it. (Though, if we do what I think we might be doing, I'll have more interesting things to write about. We'll see when next week comes, capish?)

Luv, Lynda

P.S. Like the dividers? The last one could be us! 6 girls! :) I call being the 4th from the right, the tallest.

procrastination is such a wonderful thing

Studying for the physics final, however, is not. I think it's been established by now that none of the Curly Fries really have good science teachers. Some have better teachers than others, but none are particularly knowledgeable. So we're probably not going to do as well as we could on the final. Whee. >.<

Speaking of science, our Division B Science Olympiad team doesn't seem likely to make it to states this year, considering that all the competent people are going to be away at Latin Convention on the day of the regional competition. This is not good.

I really should be reading up on the Haitian/South American/French/other revolutions right now (ugh the history final is in two days ugh). Perhaps I should go do that now.

There are no amusing Latin-textbook scenes from me, so you'll just have to be content with this text.

Guess what Tomorrow is? 1/11/11!!

Hello, people of the Milky Way Galaxy et alia!! How has your Monday been? Mine has been rather average. You know how Mondays are. I don't have any exciting news to share besides:

1. Finals start on Friday (omg imma dieeeeee!)

2. We're having a 6LCF partay on the Friday after finals XD

LAWLZ!!!

So, in my Bible studies class (which is awesome, by the way) we did this riddle thing and I wanted to post it on here but it's about religion and non-religious people probably wouldn't even get it. Instead, I think that I shall post a random riddle on here. Never mind. Google doesn't provide riddles that meet my high expectations. Do you guys know any good riddles? Now look at these fun pictures.

This is a picture from an old Latin book. Sextus, the guy with his mouth open, is Virgil's son. :O

-mOmO

Gotta get some studying done now.

pity me.

house is sick with an icky nasty infection that makes her tummy furious with the wrath of a few dozen angry goddesses. you should pity her on account of what a good friend you are. also, reminder: finals are super soon, so I guess we should start to actually like study or whatever.
with all due respect,
house

gym class and finals

Ow. I don't think my legs work properly anymore. They're really sore and bending at the knee hurts a lot. I attribute this leg-pain to gym class, in which I have to do a lot of push-ups and sit-ups and complicated exercises. Gym class does not make me happy. >.<

Like Momo said, finals are coming up. This does not make me happy either. Geometry proofs are especially annoying, as I know why things are congruent (aside from the fact that they're always congruent, because things in proofs always are; sometimes, I wonder why they bother asking if it's already obvious that ABC and DEF are congruent from the minute you see the words "Prove ABC and DEF congruent") but it's difficult to correctly iterate it onto paper in the form of "statement" and "reason." Especially when the teacher tells you that she did it in all of five steps, when you're already on step 17 and desperately wondering if you've done something wrong.

Sigh.


Anyway, that's mostly it for today. 
Right.
I'll just be going now.


xiy.



 

FINALS!!! D:

OHMYGOSHFINALSARECOMINGUPANDI'MGOINGTOFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAILTHEMALL!!!!!!!!!

Goodness, I sound like Lynda! Yes, finals are in two weeks and the stress has already given me about 4.6 panic attacks per class period--I am freaking out!!! Aggh! I think next week if the posts are especially short/non-existent that we should be excused. What do you all think?

Did anyone notice our 14th follower? I noticed. Welcome, 14th follower!! We love you!!!!!

I think we need to do a theme week/actually do the book club (remember that?) since the posts, no offense, are getting a little bland. I think maybe we could do something like Virgil did on Saturday because I thought that it was very funny.

I'm really tired now. I think I'll eat some chocolate and then go to bed. Goodnight and stuff!

OMG!! I know something that House told me!!!! :O

--Momo

UPDATE: I just noticed what a dumb post this is. Will a kitty make it better? Who am I kidding-- kitties always make things better. Here, have this one: 

magic rainbow happy sunshine

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.
