I'm fond of these architectural pieces for whatever reason.
There is a chapter meeting tomorrow. I have the day off (thanks presidents), so I'll definitely be there. I started A Storm of Swords, which is a sweet book, unfortunately I'm prevented from reading on by more pressing concerns, like, homework.
And my parents decided that as part of my growing up as a teenager with normal social skills (oh, please) I must make phone calls to friends. So if any of you WANT to recieve phone calls let me know.

Hey, guess what? It's out favorite, the P-51 mustang! Again. I never tire of those. Props to McDonalds Burger for introducing me to them.
That UMTYMP test score might turn into a 100, 'cause I'm going to argue back a few points.
Argh. I suck at juggling. Seriously. I get a D on my English assignment the one time I try to work on an extracurricular. My teacher tells me that is a poor excuse (in my defense, it wasn't an excuse, but an explaination,) because schoolwork should come before extracurriculars. However in my situation I had to do it, or else the work of a handful of my classmates and one of my teachers would have been meaningless. (For those of you needing background, I was the webmaster for the newspaper. Altough quite ironically, I'm almost completely sure someone else on the newspaper staff has a much better (and far more recent) understanding of html (even if she does use FrontPage, that menance to society.)) HATE! And I would still like to accomplish some of my personal goals, but appearantly these silly letters ono transcripts mean more than my personal developement. 'Cuz I'm really going to use some of the skills I've learned in highschool later in my life, but if I made some money and learned a useful skill that would have no long term benefit. <_< But in this silly and superficial time the only way to demonstrate knowledge is through a letter (which makes me think, I really should hack some server with my grades), so if I feel like learning a skill that I can't get in a class that would obviously be pointless. Bleh. And I'm also sorry for the Mathcounts team, I wanted everyone to have better preparation and coaching than I had, so everyone could perform at their highest. (Truely, you guys are smarter than me. If you guys are properly trained you work kick some serious a--butt) But we aren't even going to have a practice the day before the test. Oh joy. I hope you guys have been doing preparation on your own. And I have no idea why I am so tempramental, it must be because my parents are making me get up at six each morning now. Which is horrible, since I can NEVER fall asleep before 12:00. Always thinking about this and that. Well, I rambled, so I'll log off now. And I need to say something cheerful and silly, so I don't sound emo. Happy purple lamma moose tomorrow!

Three words: wtf. I have no idea what that is, but it looks funny.
So, the OHS student newspaper is suppose to be published today. Which means I'm going to spend the entire night creating the webpage...good thing I had maybe three days of heads up time. <_<>_>
Guess what? Today is Monday! You know what that means? It's time for me to die inside, thanks to Math League. So I won third place in my division. But the division is so pathetic that doesn't really mean anything. And the award ceremony was pretty lonely. And the pizza was pretty bad. Blargh.

Haha, I'm having fun with these demonic potds...
Well, I took the ACT today. I didn't end up seeing Lucifer, because she was at a different testing center. And I felt that I did really well, since it is so easy. The test should be called ART-American Reading Test. I did reading questions for the english part, I read a table for the math part, I read uninspired passages for the reading part, I read charts and graphs for the science part. I also took the writing section, and wrote a freaking four page essay. I despise the essay topics they choose for the ACT, all of them are like "Should a dress code be enforced in highschool? Should the highschool library subscribe to magazines?" LIKE OMG I RLLY CARE ABOUT MY HS, THX ACT!
Also I was continually astounded by the level of sillyness at the highschool. Below are a collection of silly things I saw/heard.
Random ACT Tester "I'm really not use to thinking this hard."
Me "If that's hard, I guess you really haven't" (To myself of course)
Another Random Tester "I only finished half the reading thingie." K, thx.
Poster on Writing "Avoid using cliches--Think outside the box."
Poster w/ Study Tips "6. Study a little each day to stay ahead." How sadly true. <_<
Inspirational Poster "As long as you aren't in last, you're doing okay." Umm, sure.
And of course all those other silly inspirational posters that are plastered all across every platform. I swear, the entirety of the Amazon rainforest was cut to print those.

Good rendition of Michael Jordan. He used to be a hero of mine, back in the day when I read a little book about him. I guess he could still be thought of as a hero, but I usually associate myself with geekier people, like Einstien for instance.
Had an UMTYMP review session today. I can't say I learned and or reviewed anything today, but I did find out that my prospects for getting on either Eden Prarie's or Wayzata's math teams are pretty good. Because if I don't find teammates next year (yeah, I mean you homeschoolers of Minnesota), then I'm not suffering through another year of solitude just to have 'MCGT' in the name of my team.
So pumped! AMC 12 tomorrow. It's my one shot at ARML qualification. (You know, I think I should post a guide to all the acronyms I use through out these posts, because there are quite a few.) From what I've heard I've (amazingly) done somewhat more preparation then some of the Eden Prarie kids.

Seems like a pretty righteous dude. Sweet number 90, so I've been doing this for about three monthes give or take a few. 3 and 9 are my favorite numbers, so this is especially cool.
Well not too much going on. Except that the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R R Martin kicks some serious butt. That is a righteous series, unfortunately a sick twist of fate dictates that I will be reading the second book before the first. Oh well. I also started reading Lilith's novel, which is turning out pretty well. My brothers have retained control over the laptop, so I haven't gotten very far however.
You know what is annoying? Video games have been decieving me. Rapiers aren't slashing weapons of moderate length at all, they are meter long thrusting weapons. ARGH! Sabres are still cool however.

Hmm, quite and comtemplative. I like it.
Well, my barrage of tests is complete. Not. I've still got the AMC 12 and the ACT. Oh well. My school tests are done with. For my English test I wrote an essay drawing on four examples fro literature and two from life. Overkill? I hope so. And I got destroyed in my history test. I've never been so brutally maimed in my life. Ah well, lessons learned.
Btw, Super Bowl! W00t. Actually I don't care that much. I'll probably watch commercials.
