Working On the List

Having a bunch of short term goals on my list worked out well. I've handed in my English ISU and got it back, 87% on it, which should raise my mark. I've finished reading One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, a day after the class during my spare but still finished it. Presented in Peace and Politics, my group did amazingly well, 88%, 90%, 90% (although we aren't suppose to know our marks yet, but Maxine needed a mark update so I managed to see our group mark). I haven't handed in my paper yet, but its basically done but I need to read it over again before handing it in on Monday. I've update my fanfiction, but with the end of semester coming up I haven't had a chance to work on my own stuff. And

I have finally applied to university!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have received responses about all three universities recieving my applications. I don't plan on getting early acceptance from any of the universities since I know that two of my marks this semester will be lower, although I should come out with over an 80% average since I get an extra 3% added onto my math mark since I tutored (thanks goes to Nire who agreed to be tutored when the person I was suppose to tutor never showed up, as well as getting her dad to sign for the 8 hours I tutored her online before one test). The worst part is now to come, waiting for responses from the universities.

2009

Happy new year!!!!

It's only the start of 2009 and I have so many things that need to be done and soon. I need to apply for university, I need to write my english essay (rough draft is due Tuesday), I need to apply for some scholarships and find out when OSAP needs to be in by. I need to find a job (although I don't plan on working until the summer) I need to study for my upcoming exams. I need to read more of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest (more English homework), I have a Peace and Politics seminar and paper due second week back at school. And the school related (the job is to help pay for university making it school related) list continues.

For myself, I want to continue working on my fanfiction stories, I get some great feedback from there which can carry over into my own writings. Carry on with my writings, especially if I want to be done in time for next years scholarship, as well as all the essays I write. Get fit, as many others are porbably hoping to do. End the semester with good marks, end the school year on the honor roll...

Although if I want to do all these things, I may want to stop talking about it and try getting somewhere. 8D

Don't Multitask

My new computers motto. I'm thankful that I finally have my own laptop, although I'm back and using my mom's again. I'm also thankful for the offer from my stepdad's brother to work technological magic and make the computer run well. For right now I'm using two laptops. Mine to play the little music I've put on it and the one for typing this up. I've discovered trying to do more than one thing on my laptop doesn't work well. Earlier I was trying to listen to music and surf the web, this resulted to the music becoming completely choppy and sounding hilarious. The only problem I have now is that I can only plug in one computer at a time and my laptop lasts an hour without being plugged.



Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!! Can't wait for the New Year. Thinking about it, I can with the new year comes the due date for my English essay, I procrastinate to much an now only have a week left to write it.

The Storm Is Over

Now as long as the roads are mainly cleared I should survive. My last minute shopping shall be very last minute as in hopefully I can make it to the mall tomorrow. I may have to walk though since the roads are horrible. Yesterday's (seeing as it's after midnight) entertainment was vehicles unable to move. None of the roads have been cleared and although the main ones aren't horrible, the side streets are a mess. It will be days before the plows even hit my area because it is normally the last area to be cleared.
I'm just hoping that the snow won't ruin tonight's plans. The September sleepover already had to be cancelled, and the next isn't planned until after exams are over (unless we have an study session that runs late and no one wasn't to drive). Plus it's the Christmas sleepover. If we aren't able to get together for our gift exchange tomorrow we may have to wait until after Christmas is over and the excitement is gone.
That and how often can you stay up late with your friends watching Christmas movies. Once a year unless you have a random Christmas night in the middle of the summer. Either way I really don't want the plansto be cancelled due to the storm. That and rumor has it more snow is heading this way.

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if the school itself was close, but either way the buses weren't running so I didn't have to go to school today. The only problem is that I was hoping to get some Christmas shopping done today ad by the time I got up the snow had gotten pretty bad. I still have tomorrow to get the shopping for my friends done (though it may seem last minute I haven't had time to go yet) so I may have to wait until tomorrow. At least I have a plan as to what I wnt to get them which wll make my life a little easier.

Pile It On

It seems with Christmas Break coming up every teacher wants to get as much done as possible. They don't seem to consider the fact that few of us are able to deal with everything they give us. Reading for English isn't bad, although it may help if we actually knew when the poster for that class is due. Originally it was suppose to be last Friday but with all the reading we had to do as well as finishing our last literature circle, we were told the poster wasn't as important as finishing our novels, handing in the work we have done for it, the journals on our discussion time and our peer/self evaluations. So now we sit with our posters partly done since no one knows when it is due so it is falling to the bottom of the list.

In math my teacher decided that when was going to take this week to teacher us a chapter and give us an assignment o Friday (to be handed in at the end of class) although we spent to days just on the start of trigometric identities, and tomorrow is a shortened period with the mass, and supposedly we have a lengthened period six as well which cuts classes even shorter. That and Friday all of our classes are shortened for the Christmas Assembly.

In Peace and Politics my mark has finally gone up but the most annoying thing is that there is less than one month until the end of the semester and we still only have seventeen marks for the class. This means that every mark affects you grade. The highest mark in the class is an 89% which for a 12U class, that is low. Maybe for something like math it would make sense but for a class that most ue to pull up their average, its a religion class so all you should have to do is mak an opinion and write well, but the class can't seem to behave, the teacher gives us half notes then talks for the rest of class making it hard to learn. Plus we have an assignment that's due today, seeing as is after midnight, that sure may seem easy but the teachr wants us to make sure that we don't give the normal community service is good, it allowed me to help others, stuff that gets us the 90%-100% that boost our marks up since the 10 hours + the 2 page paper is normally 5%-10% of our final mark.

Sure this may be grade 12 but some teachers just take everything to the extreme especially since our schedules for classes are messed up this week and the fact that sometimes it may take until that day after Christmas break to finish the unit. Right now I'm ready to drop from all the work yet I can't unless I want to see my marks drop which can't happen since this year's marks are sent to universities and I need over an 80% average if I want to get into the basic program I want and that isn't including the co-op that I'm aiming for.

Question

This may really random, but I've been thinking a lot about book endings. Many were disappointed with the ending of Breaking Dawn since everything was settled peacefully. And many were happy with the end of Harry Potter with the huge fight.
So I've been thinking. Would people rather have a love story that ends with
1)the main character ending up with the guy she met at the beginning of the story
OR
2)the guy who she used to be friends with and dated for a little while, whose heart she broke.
The first guy she met after moving to a new school. He kisses her once and she can only compare it to the one guy she has kissed before so she thinks its amazing. They are good friends but nothing may come out of it if they don't want to.
The second guy is one whom she had gone out with a couple times but nothing amounted from it since she moved. He was in a band and after she moves she hears the band on a station that wants to play local talent (they still live in the same region, just apart and he has no clue where she is) play a song by his band. Throughout the entire song he whispers her name in the background (so heart breaking).
The final decision comes at prom night and she needs to choose.
So which you you perfer to read? And which one do you think is the more over used one?
