New layout! brokenrecord__. I've had Opal for nearly two years now, so I decided to try something new. (Stylesheet is by refuted.) The layout obviously reflects my current The O.C. obsession. Lyrics are from "On Your Porch" by The Format. I'm not entirely sure if I'm happy with the header (something looks off about it to me, even though I liked it when I was looking at it in Paintshop Pro), but I like the rest, so I'll keep it for now. I might change the header in a few weeks. But, um, yeah. Yay, new layout! :D

I want to redo my userinfo too (I've been wanting to do that for like a year, actually) but I don't think I have the energy. Maybe tomorrow.

So far this semester my grades have made me feel like I'm in bizarro world in something. In French, a class I've never even come close to having a B (especially not with deBerry), I'm getting an 81 (a 79.95 before she took out this test that everyone failed because she doesn't know how to use a scantron machine properly). wtf? This is ridiculous. It's not just me, though. The class average for AP was an 81 and there were no As until she took out the test (and then there were only like 2, and there were still several people who had Ds), and for French 4 it was a 69! Also, we already have over 600 points in the class, even though it's 6 weeks into the semester. 600 points! That's 200 a week! By the time the semester is over, by my count we'll have roughly 4800.

On the other hand, in math I haven't gotten any points off in homework even though I've been barely showing any work, the quiz I barely studied for and failed (4/10! woot!) ended up not counting because everyone failed it, and the test I glanced at my notes for about 5 minutes for I ended up getting a 94% on. What the hell? Most of the time I can't get a 94 on a calc test even when I do study for hours! And in physics, a test I was planning on dropping I got 100% on the free response and Mr. Malin called me his hero. I mean, I probably failed the multiple choice, but still. I just don't understand! I would've never thought I'd be struggling to maintain a B in French and have an easy A in Calc! My brain hurts. :(

I'm tired. I think I should sleep.

Aww I love your new layout :) Thursday's episode pretty much floored me, I'm trying not to think about the fact that next week is the finale...Still, I'm actuallly giddy to see how everything ends :)

Thanks so much! :D I know, I absolutely loved the last episode. This season has been so great. I'm going to be really upset next week when it ends.

I like the new layout ♥.

And I'm finally getting around to reading Wicked, which I thought you might like. I was kind of shocked at the language (since I thought it'd be similar to Wizard of Oz), but I like it.

Also, second semester is busier than first. How wrong is that? :(

Thank you! :D

Ah, that's awesome. The book is good, but the musical is even better, so if you kind of like the book then you should definitely read the script of the musical (I have a link to it saved somewhere, so if you end up wanting to just ask and I'll give it to you) and listen to the musical soundtrack.

I know, it's ridiculous. I just kind of feel like not doing anything at all since it's second semester and I feel like I shouldn't have to, but I guess I should try to do relatively well.

Mkay, I'll let you know when I finish then. It might take a while, since I'm sneaking pages in between computer science projects and reading Othello.

I know! I have a B in basically 2/3 of my classes, and the semester just started. This should worry me, but sadly it doesn't.

I know, I mean, I've never even had close to a B in French, and here I am like 2% away from a C! I should be concerned, but I kind of just don't care.

I have a B in Anatomy. Anatomy. The easiest science class we offer for seniors.

Ah, well. Skeletal systems are too much work to memorize anyway.

Ah, that sucks. I think my B- in French is going to become a C, since we have this movie packet due which includes two essays and I only watched about 15 minutes of the movie. I probably should've actually paid attention during the movie... but it was really, really boring. sigh. I'm so ready to graduate at this point.
