Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

I'm done with History II! I feel like I still don't know as much about history as I should, but I knew enough on the final exam today to get an A or a B in the class! :)

I still haven't gotten to catch up on my friends page or finish making my older userpics more legible, though (though I did work on the latter at one point) :(

The rest is history

Signs of the times...

( EDIT IN 2018: Great, another entry where I put both good and bad things in the same entry. To make up for this, I'm retroactively putting them under separate LJ-cuts. The bad stuff is under this one... )

Now for something more light-hearted:

( The good stuff is under this one )

Will your alcohol marry this entry? (wait, what?!)

I think I did pretty well on both of my finals today.

I finished my English test, but sadly, only because I stayed in class for 20 extra minutes. :(

I felt SO awkward giving my speech, though. Y'see, normally I write the notecards for my speech in my shorthand (because I don't know the official shorthand, so I make up my own). However, I've recently added some new symbols to my shorthand - any word that, when translated to Spanish, sounds like an English letter is replaced with that letter with a tilde (~) over it (as well as an accent in the case of "what" to distinguish it from "that", since in Spanish, those are "qué" and "que", respectively). Since I hadn't been using these as long, it was harder to read them, so I had to look at my notecards most of the time. Though, since everyone in the class says I did really well, apparently I did...

Tomorrow is my Spanish exam. All I have to do for it is write at least 100 words about almost anything in English beforehand (which I have) and translate it to Spanish in class. Shouldn't be too hard :)

Out of the exams I took today, I'm the most confident about the anatomy exam, since my teacher graded all of the exams before class ended and said I made an A+. I'm the second-most confident about the Bible exam since all four students were allowed to take it as a group, then history because although I only forgot the answers to two short-answer questions, I didn't have a lot of time to write the essay (though it didn't have to be five-paragraph).

Tomorrow is an English exam consisting of four essay questions. Blah.

Repost with flying colors

Someone get me to stop procrastinating writing notes for the essays on my history and English exams.

Flag mine

Okay, nothing apocalypsey happened 100 days before the March 25 possiblecalypse, but 99 days before it (i.e. last night), I had a dream involving 666 flavored water. 666 flavored water? 666 flavored water? 666 flavored water? That's either an ominous sign or Sketch-a-Doodle's favorite drink. Or both, possibly.

Anyways, I think I did well on the anatomy, Bible, and history exams. Tomorrow is my English exam.

I also went shopping for Christmas presents with pathvain_aelien today. Yay!

These are all hilarious, even the immature ones! (And I usually hate immature humor, so that's saying something.) I think my favorite so far is "Expand the equation". :)

EDIT: Now that I've read all of the posts as of "Chem win", my new favorite is the one where Walt Whitman has a blue ox named Emily Dickinson. Even if a later portion of that essay stereotypes LiveJournal as being for emo poetry.

In other news, now I have notes for all my exam essays, or exays, and have about half of my The Great Gatsby essay finished. Yay!

So it turns out my mom didn't feel like taking me to the ACT test today and decided to reschedule it. Yay! I got to go back to bed and have a really, really weird dream. (I mean, seriously, even if a villain creates monsters by drawing them, "Sketch-a-Doodle" still sounds more like the name of a toy [like Etch-a-Sketch] than the name of a villain. What's even creepier is that pathvain_aelien mentioned "snickerdoodle" cookies not too long after I got up. Coincidence?)

After contemplating my Sketch-a-Doodle dream and decorating the Christmas tree, I finished all of my non-essay homework except for one of the math problems in HAS and just a few more review questions for the history and English exams! Yay!

Somewhat fitting quiz of the day:



I'm assuming "the apocalypse might be March 25 like my dream said" counts as a "vague little stanza."

Repost-a-Doodle (I guess that's Sketch-a-Doodle's cousin or something?)

The first two periods in school today were pretty hilarious.

In anatomy class, we got a list of safety procedures. #3 is:

"3. Students who are pregnant, taking immunosuppressive drugs, or who have any other medical condition (e.g., diabetes, immunological defect) that might necessitate special precautions in the laboratory must inform the instructor immediately."

And yet the student handbook for our school says that pregnancy and other Level Four offenses can result in expulsion from school. (I don't think these safety procedures were written by our school, but still)

In Bible class, we got a handout of class requirements, grading criteria, and the like. The header says:

"Junior and Senior Boys Bible 2009-20010"

Great. I only have [anyonewhoreferencesthatstupidmemewillbegivenaboottothehead]9000½[/anyonewhoreferencesthatstupidmemewillbegivenaboottothehead] years to study for my midterm exams.

I had a lot more homework today than I did yesterday, but at least it's the weekend!

Yesterday I took my Bible exam - I think I did great on it.

Today I took my reading exam (which was four essays) - I think I did just okay on those.

Tomorrow is my chemistry and Spanish exams. I'm good at those so I should do just fine.

<sarcasm>This is TOTALLY the kind of entry that people tend to repost</sarcasm>
