brokenrecordToday was Band Spectacular, which is where all four Irvine high schools perform their shows for all the middle schools to try to convince them to join marching band when they're in high school and then we play This is My Country and Stars and Stripes Forever together. So afterschool we went to Ziyad's house and had lots of pizza and then played this videogame, and yeah. It was fun. Then the Band Spectacular, which was pretty good.
Friday, I don't think I've mentioned, I'm going to Disneyland with marching band. We're marching in the parade around like... 5 PM, and all the time besides that we get to do whatever we want. It should be awesome, especially since that means after tomorrow, I'm done with the school week. Actually, after 4th period I'm done, because 6th is band, so it's not like I have work to do for that. wheee, can't wait until Friday. :D
I've seen the holiday list things starting to go around recently. I'm planning to do that too sometime, but I haven't done it yet since I'm still deciding whether or not I should ask for stuff that people would send in the mail and would need my address for, not because I don't trust my flist with my address, but because I wouldn't know how to explain to my parents why I'm randomly getting cards or whatever from people all over the country. So, yeah. I'm thinking of just asking for like... fanfiction, icons, etc. I'll see. I'll also probably do either a post where you can ask me for an icon, or a card. I'd kind of rather do the card one, because A) it'd be more fun for me to write stuff to people (I'd decorate it too, though), and B) I suck at requests. Seriously. Whenever people request stuff from me, it comes out horribly, and it's just... blah. I don't know. I'll probably do these posts on like Saturday or something.
I hate Euro because of Blackboard. If you've never used it before, teachers make an account thing for the subject and then can put up documents and so on there. So, Mr. Ives puts everything up there, all the lecture notes, discussion questions, everything. He never prints everything out (he'd rather have us waste all our paper and ink when he can print things out for free on the school's paper).
So we have to have our discussion questions printed out for each discussion. Well, I usually leave it to one or two nights before the discussion. Monday night was the concert and I didn't get home till 12:00, though, so I didn't print it out then obviously, and then Tuesday I had Symphony and didn't get home till 8, and after that I went to Blackboard and the site was down. And then I woke up early this morning and it still wasn't working. I was afraid when I told him in class that I couldn't get on he'd mark points off anyways, but apparently other people had trouble with it too (well, duh, because it was down all day) so he just excused us.
But it's so ridiculous. He started lecturing us on how we shouldn't have waited till the last minute (HELLO. WHEN ELSE WOULD I HAVE DONE IT? When I was at the concert Monday? Symphony Tuesday? He says we should've done it the second they were put up, but guh, I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PAPER OR INK TO PRINT OUT EVERYTHING HE PUTS UP ALL AT ONCE. Also, my printer SUCKS. And I totally would've lost it after like 3 weeks, anyways. It's completely ridiculous to expect us to do that), and it was just so irritating. Bah.
I don't know. ...ok, so this entire rant is kind of weak, but it still annoyed me. It was more annoying when I assumed he would mark me off for it. I think I just really hate the class, so I'm trying to find every possible thing wrong with it. sigh.
hm, what else? I think that's all I had to say.

Date: 2005-11-03 06:45 am (UTC)Oh, wow, seriously? That's crazy. I actually had my test on that stuff on Monday, but two of my friends have a different chem teacher than me who is a horrible teacher and they have the test tomorrow, so I offered to send them my study guide to help them out. Good luck on your test! :)
