Reading and cartoons and roller coasters
May. 10th, 2005 01:41 pmFinished reading Frankenstein in class. Still have the urge to write up essays comparing it to FMA. Will think about it, and/or see if I can get extra credit if I do.
Here's desperately hoping that Mr. Hartwig will finish screening FMA episode 3 by 8:10 tomorrow morning so we can watch it in class. (He had issues with the DVD skipping on his X-box =_=; He still gets major 'cool teacher' points for considering it, though.) We'll also be watching a few scenes from modern-ish Frankenstein movies. Am looking forward to it muchly.
Had a test over World Lit over Frankenstein today--hoping for something in the 'B' range. I think it's a fairly realistic hope. Also had to turn in roller coaster designs/models/calculations/what-have-you for physics today. >_< God, I hate this project. Jason and I miraculously put together a model of our roller coaster in under an hour, using only paper and tape. I think we won't do too badly, considering Jason was out of school for two of the (five?) days we had in class to work on this. Of course, it also looks like we only managed to slap it together in under an hour, but it's better than nothing.
Am feeling somewhat burned-out at the moment. It is quite... irritating.
Put up GLoW stuff in the school display case yesterday. Hoping for a good reaction, though we have no real way of knowing in advance. Even here, in Liberalville, there is discrimination ;_; T-shirt design has been finalized and sent off. Hoping desperately for Gay Penguin T-shirts soon.
Picked up Herman Melville's Moby Dick on Friday. It's not bad. Doing wonders for my vocabulary. (I love fanfic and all but frankly, the language usually isn't that challenging. Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's not. *shrug*) Still need to read Paradise Lost, Dracula, I, Lucifer (apperantly), The Invisible Man, and... many other things, probably. Does anyone know if there's a 'classic' werewolf story, or is there onlymodern stuff crap modern stuff?
We've moved on to aggression in Abnormal Psych. Just now, we're covering dating/domestic violence. ...I am doing a very good job of not becoming ill, I think. (Plus side: we'll be covering serial killers in this unit. Minus side: we'll be covering serial killers in this unit. (This is from the girl who stopped reading Ill Met by Starlight because she started thinking in a way similar to that Ranma, if it helps you understand her logic any.))

campfuckudie recently. Am tempted to apply to be a 'camper' on Friday. Still debating. Still two days to pick a character and write an entry--that is, if I'm desperate to apply on the day when applications are accepted again.

Date: 2005-05-11 03:35 am (UTC)1) got you letter yesterday. The hair tie was awesome, the drawings were adorable (and so true ^.^) and the clover...it worked! within twenty-four hours of recieveing it I got a free day at school since the teacher was absent, work let me leave early, i found a cool game for 5 bucks, a new Ranma manga came out, I found a place to download Kaiout Kid manga, and my favorite preztels will be on sale for the rest of the sales quarter O.o;
2)Yeah, mr. hartwigs sounds like my Graphics teacher, Mr. Ames ^.^ He as the colest teacher ever!
3)*Crosses fingers* Good luck for the project
4)*prepares weedwacker of DOOM in case ony discrimination pops up*
5) Dunno about any classic werewolf stories (unless you count records from the Bordeux werewolf trials) If you ever find a book called "The Beast Within, History of the Werewolf" DON'T read it. Never thought I'd see the day when someone made math class more interesting than werewolves....
6) Serial Killers ^.^ <3 ... okay that came out wrong... I've always been a fan of true crime and have built up a bit of a mental library on them. Work of advise, Never try to dispose of a body by chopping it up and flushing it down the toilet. All you ever get in some very traumatised plumbers...

3) Thanks ^_^
4) We may also be having issues with the Westboro Baptsist Church at graduation =_= But other than that, this is a really great place to live ^_^
5) May look into those records. And thanks for the warning.
6) Gotcha; will not traumatize plumbers...

3) Right-oh. I'm sure I'll be able to fit them in the mail somehow... >D
Re: Sidenote: Think I have. For US to Denmark, anyway. Am hoping to be able to send it out this afternoon. *crosses fingers* And I'm really hoping I can just send it through the regular mail system!
