A Smoking Computer, and Annoying Exams

Leave it to me to be on the computer when smoke starts come from it. The moniter died beyond belief, it didn't stop working. No it had to go out with a bang, or a smoke. At least its the end of the 1st semester so I didn't any work left that I needed it for.

With the end of semester comes with exams. finished chem already, which wans't bad. All thats left is bio, english and law. I f I survive them its a long weekend for me. :) But first studying and writing exams. At least after bio is done it will all be easier. :)

Completing Homework= Not Sleeping

So I stayed up until 4:30 this morning to try and complete my chem ISU, all I needed to do was summarize all the notes for one chapter and finish the assigned questions. I almost finished the notes over the break, with two left. So I finished half of one note before I got bored and decided to do some of my law on the computer. 3 hours later I was almost done my law, had eaten supper and had barely looked back at my chem. By 8:00 I realized I had to start working on my chem because of course its due the following day. So from 8:00-4:30 I worked on completing my chem homework, with a short break every couple hours. By the time I was done, almost all, skipped like 5 questions from the entire unit, 'cause I didn't understand them and it was getting late. So finally I get to go to sleep and about an hour and half after I fell asleep my mom woke me up to go to school. By this point I was super tired because I was up late the night before finishing a Bio project due a day earlier than what I thought it was. So I'm beyond tired and was so slow getting ready for school the I missed the bus again. But I was allowed to stay home due to being sick from lack of sleep. So tomorrow I have to hand in my assignent and right the test on the unit. Luckily the date for my law ISU presentation was moved to Monday rather than Friday, because I have a bio paper due Friday, and a chem unit test. Getting late gonna slepp finally.

Christmas Break

Christmas break has officially started for me today. After sitting through the Christmas assembly, an hour of nothing. Seriously the student council at my school think their hilarious, but they really aren't. Nobody had a clue what was funny about it, which followed the jokes that were booed. No one really laughed at the little skits. They best part was cheering to try and get teachers up on the stage to dance/sing. That and when students themselves were actually participating in the random stuff. Also congratulations to the band (made up by gr.11 students, 3 of which are in at least 1 class with me, 1 isn't in any), they weren't half bad. Better than the students who couldn't complete the end of the carols in a battle of the grades contest, the gr. 12's won, which doesn't make a difference seeing as they always win due to the fact that student council president is in gr. 12.

Snowfall and a Concert

Well I'm in the region that got hit with a major snowstorm on Sunday. The roads were horrible, but since I was in any of the cars that got stuck, I just laughed at those who could barely move their car. even after the major snowfall there was still school on Monday, but because my mother was being nice and it would be a horrible walk to the bus stop, I had a personal snow day. Which of course didn't matter because most people didn't realize there was school. A part of the problem was that the 2 VPs were standing outside at the driveways to keep people from pulling into the parking lot. The only reason they were doing that though was because the school parking lots had yet to be cleared for student use. So over all I didn't miss much, especially since I was to miss most of the day for the feeder school concert. Which I was told turned out to be horrible.

Which brings me to today, and the public production of the school's concert. This year the choir and other talented singers singing favourite Christmas songs. It was so sad that the Chipmunks Christmas Song had to be canceled due to the fact that the guys singing it were unable to find the music for it. After taking the time to learn the lyrics and get those helium filled balloons to change their voices it annoying squeaks. Although I did tell one of the guys that while he was gone they would all magically popped. He looked at me like I was crazy. I must remind him one day that I must get him back for forcing me to do the can-can and some other weird dance (the one where you bob up and down at different times to the beat) while waiting for our turn to sing at the school board dinner., It was to bad 'cause he forced my friends to dance to, but I'm usually a quiet person, who usually doesn't dance like that when people from other high schools are staring at you like your crazy. It was fun but he now tries to convince me and my friends to dance with him when he is waiting for a practice to start before an assembly when he randomly walks by listen to his iPod, leaving us to dance to music only he can hear.

Either way back to the concert, it went pretty well tonight. No major mess ups other than the drummer for one band not showing up, and something going wrong with the sound system in the middle of Carol of the Bells. I'm surprised that it went so smoothly, usually there are major problems with the sound system. The one mic wasn't working for one song so the two singing had to share, no major feedback, nothing really it was quite amazing. Actually what surprised me was the band who lost their drummer and was unable to sing the song the originally planned on, did a great job with singing White Christmas, so congrats to them!!!! :) Overall it flowed smoothly and I'm happy it's over because I had to stand on the stage for over an hour. Hopefully the assembly tomorrow and on Friday will do just as well.

It's That Time of Year Again

The time right before the break where teachers try to finish a unit, or give tests and major assignments to students. This week has been and will be a horribly busy school week. Law test on Monday (when I told it would be on Tuesday by the teacher), Bio test that I had to write after school on Tuesday, ISU essay for English, on the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw, due Wednesday, I was suppose to have a chem test on Thursday (tomorrow) but I still don't get the unit because I have been to 4 classes since the start of the month and missed a week and a half in November so I get to have someone teach it to me and hopefully be able to write it next Thursday. Then I have the bio test for the unit on plants that we just finished on Friday. On top of all that I have my extra vocal course in which there is one more practice before we have to perform our song in front of the class, which is really small, and my group is no where near ready. And I have choir, singing at the mall on Friday, YAY!!!! no Law, a class that is made completely pointless by my class, who can go from certain laws to hunting [which happened today, but I was trying to finish Chem homework instead of listening], a 2 hour concert on Monday for grades 5-8 for the feeder schools for the high school I attend, followed by a 2 hour one the following night for the general public and then on the Wednesday there is a school gathering at which the choir gets to sing at again. Somehow I won't have any time to rest until Christmas break when I'm working on my Chem ISU, Law ISU, and Bio culminating assignment. Plus I have yet to start shopping for gifts, running out of time, way to much to do. Going into overload.

Homework, Homework, Homework

Well after missing that entire week of school and only have a weekend to catch up on everything I missed in my two science classes. I am thankful that I had no law (I would have to rent the movie the class was watching, finish the question and read) or English, which really is my favourite class, but somehow I think reading Shakespeare's Hamlet may bug, me because I have yet to finish my dichotomous key for my bio test, and still have to complete 3 quizzes (given to me so I don't miss class time to write them), learn about simple nuclear reactions, finish the unit 4 review and than work from the new unit which deals with chemical quantities using the formula's from the notes given to me, plus I still have to write my pre-test and soon will have to write the real test for nomenclature, all for chem class. On top of that I'm still sick and will end up missing another day of school. I don't know how long its going to take me to catch up, especially since I have yet to go to school for the past week, and am still missing more.

Bored Out of My Mind

I have yet to attend a class yet this week. Somehow it should be better than anything really missing a entire week of school, but I have nothing to do. The school finally called to say they had my requested homework ready even though I had asked for it Wednesday morning. I mean I know I have missed a lot of school and classes are hard to keep up with if you miss one by gr.11, but seriously couldn't they have gotten the homework together sooner, I now get to spend my weekend catching up in my classes, so much fun. I have gone to school, but the problem was I nearly fainted before classes even started which resulted in me having to call home. You can really tell I was bored, my room has been randomly decorated. Know all I have to do is find a ride down to the school so I can at least have my homeworl for the weekend.
