brokenrecordNot checking my friendslist, but a brief(ish) update before I go.
All my finals were... eh, ok. My hardest was probably Euro, which was the one I studied the most for. Also, on Monday night as I was studying for Euro, I started feeling worse and worse, and by like 10 PM I just couldn't... process thoughts anymore. I just had a cold, but it really messed with my head this week. I don't know any of my grades yet (2 of my teachers are posting them on blackboard either today or tomorrow, but the rest I won't know till next week) except for French, which I have a 93.9 in. Somehow my grade went up .3% and I don't understand how that's possible considering that the final was ridiculous (like our listening comprehension was "What monument is near the Hotel Quasimodo? How do you get to the Notre Dame? What's a good Vietnamese grocery store to go to?" (Well I'm not sure about the Vietnamese part, but I swear I heard her say the word for Vietnamese in French) But whatever, I don't care.
Ah, but this week was so much fun. Best finals week ever. On Tuesday even though we didn't have Symphony, a bunch of people came to my house and we played mafia for hours and then finally did a little work, and on Wednesday I went to Emma's and she promised that it was just going to be us and Soan and Jackie so we wouldn't have enough to play mafia and we'd actually do work, but instead when I got there we watched half an hour of this movie with Hugh Grant involving Wales and a hill that they want to be called a mountain, and then decided for some reason to start watching Love Actually because Jackie had never seen it. But then Soan and Emma and Simon (Emma's brother) just started talking through it all and I joined in too so I don't know how much she got.
Today was also good, as after school a bunch of people went to Ruby's to have lunch. But it ended up being kind of too much people, and then somehow I got at the table with more people I didn't know than I did, and blah. There was Galaxy who I'm very good friends with and Zi who I guess I'm pretty good friends with but other than that... like they're good people and all, but I wanted to sit with all the people I was better friends with. Oh well. I also bought the book Wicked by Gregory Maguire since I've heard good things about the musical and just saw it sitting there and it looked intriguing. So yeah.
I wanted to talk about last night's new Veronica Mars, but we're leaving for the airport in like 15 min and I haven't packed yet, so I may want to do that. But I'll just say that there were definitely things I didn't like about it, but I think overall I did like it. All the Logan and Weevil parts were ridiculously awesome.
Anyways. Off to pack, and then off to San Francisco. Will be back Monday some time, but I'm not quite sure when.
Edit: Ah! I just checked my grade in pre-calc even though I didn't think she'd have it up yet, but I have an A-! I got an 89.95, so close to not having an A. But I'm happy, since I was really worried about that grade. So, so far, I know that this semester I have 3 A's (the third being Wind Ensemble, and really, I could count Symphony in that as well, but whatever). Euro's really the only one I don't know about, since anything other than a B in English is pretty unreasonable, and I'd have had to get like a 70 on the chem final to not have an A. I'll know all my grades for sure next week, in any case, no point worrying about them now.
