So ...

I guess there's a few things I should bring up, hmm? And let my type them down now, or I'm going to forget. I mean, look at my last few journals; I tend to go on and on about one thing and forget the rest. I don't want to risk that right now.

So what is there to write about? I guess the end of last trimester, mainly my grades; the beginning of this trimester, since it was the first week--er--still is; Neue Duetsche Härte, which I'll explain once I get to it; and maybe I'll even mention my RPs. I dunno. I do tend to do that.

First of all, I really do want to mention how nice the weather is today. *blinks* Wow. That's quite a weird statement. So bland. But seriously! It's amazing! I didn't wear a coat while taking care of the rabbits today. And I got to jog. Well, I could have jogged yesterday, too, but I had to watch Ben. Bleck. That kind of turned out as a disaster.

And speaking of my rabbits, even though that was a wee bit earlier, I misjudged Midget's due date. Apparently I was a week off. I realized a couple days ago that I marked the nineteenth of this month rather than the twelfth. Well, fudge. That was stupid of me. Anyway, she is pregnant. That's for sure now. She's lined the inside of her box with her fur and she's so chubby! Such a cutie. Plus, I knew that the breeding didn't fail on last Saturday because her temperament changed so much. She was a lot friendlier. And, from my experience, they don't just do that for the heck of it. But I was right. I'm going to have to find homes for softy bunnies.

Any suggestions, besides posting posters about Easter bunnies around town? Craigslist probably isn't the greatest idea, and a swap might come too late. Hmm ... I'll figure things out. Ask around school, for starters. Ja.

Well, last week, then? If I remember correctly, I ended all of my classes with either B's or A's. That's all cool, even though I wish I would have done better. But, as I suspected, I didn't get to see my final grades for two of my classes before Powerschool switched over to the new trimester. That was great. But, eh, I saw them today, shrugged and then went on with screwing around. I have a feeling Intro to Journalism is going to be an interesting class.

Ah, the new trimester.

I start the day with math. Perhaps that wouldn't be too bad, but it's trigonometry. I don't like angles, triangles get on my nerves, sine and cosine are still shady characters in my mind. Characters? I think I've been hanging around the English department too much. And the teacher in this class has a completely different teaching style than I'm used to, and I don't much like it. Okay, we take notes on the new chapter, that's all cool, and then we're assigned twenty or so problems in the book. That's all normal. But checking the work is completely different. We're encouraged to talk to other people in our class about our homework, and it's not graded on wrong or right at all. I ... like that. Granted, I typically get D's on my homework, but I'd rather know what I did wrong than talking to my nonexistent friends. Even if I had friends in that class, they'd probably turn to each other rather than me. That's the way it's always been in school. I'm easily discarded, and as of late, it bothers me more than ever. I just want someone to be there.

And Alyssa and I rarely cross paths in school anymore, I don't see Kyra at all, and those two were the people I talked to most. They were who I trusted, I knew them and they knew me. I'd talk to them about anything. I'd listen to their problems, because they weren't as common or easily dismissed or annoying as anyone else. And they ... they tried to help me when I was feeling down or something. No one else really cares. Whatever--that's fine. But I'm not as contained as I used to be. Sometimes I need someone to be there for me. This dependency, I've never really had it before.

I miss my friends.

Ack ...

Second hour I have Oceanography. It's an interesting class, another one with Wells, but eh, it's expendable, really. I like science, sure, but the oceans, I don't have much of an interest for them. Just the awesomeness of the creatures. But this is the first week of the class; it's going to be a bit slow and boring. Most science classes normally are.

Then I have Schmid. Technically German, but I'm just going to say Schmid. I've decided, though, that I'm going to come up with my own list of things to learn every now and again, because that way I'll learn more German than with Schmid the whole trimester. I love the language, and there's not going to be anything that ruins that. Schmid's not going to get in the way of my learning. Though, I'm still positive that I'll drop the class if she teachers German IV next year. Unfortunate, really.

Fourth hour is Intro to Journalism. Not quite sure what to think about the class yet. The style of writing certainly isn't my own, since I'm definitely a story writer over anything, but I'll have to work through the class. As for the teacher, I like him at least, so it won't be too bad. Just like with Contemporary Theater. I worked through it, even though I don't like plays. Especially reading them. I mean, come on.

And finally I have Government. I like the student teacher, who's the one that's currently teaching the class, but everything is so trivial right now. I've learned it all in fifth grade. In Stuckey! I'm glad that it's easy right now, but I just don't care about the material. Then again, it is social studies, so it's no unexpected. But having to end the day with such a class ... fun. At least it's the end of the day. >.<

*clears throat* What next? So glad I made a list. Hehe.

Ah, Neue Deutsche Härte. Translated it means "new German hardness." As in music. Rammstein and Eisbrecher are a part of this genre, and just listening to a few other songs from other bands in the same genre--I like it! The voices are a bit harsh for my liking, but the rhythm, instruments and the fact that it's German just makes it awesome. And, as much as I would like to have one of those songs as my Song of the Day, I shouldn't because the Song of the Day should be the one I've had in my head all day.

You know, around school, there are these posters, all of them titled "Kiss me, I'm Irish." Because it's, well, St. Patrick's day. But Gaelic Storm has a song called that, and every time I see one of those posters I can't help but sing what I know of the chorus. Of course it's not appropriate for school, but whatever. I mean, it's not bad, just all about alcohol. Promotes it. :) Not allowed in school.

Yes, I have been paying attention in my fourth hour. ^^

My laptop caught the nastiest virus yet yesterday. I got rid of it, but I nearly killed my laptop in the process. But it was nasty in the sense that the computer thought that it was a part of its systems. Couldn't find it in the Registry Editor, failed to successfully find it in the system files and it wouldn't let me on the Internet to figure out the advice it had for removing it manually. But I think I got rid of too much yesterday, and when trying to restart my computer it was unable to. Thankfully I could return it to its state that it was in on the fifteenth and it's gone ... for now, at least. I'm still afraid the thing will come back. It wouldn't even let me listen to my music!

But seriously, it was not cool at all. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use my laptop again, because everything I tried failed. Although now I should take Raven's advice and find that virus protection and see what it has to find. It'll be temporary, sure, but I don't want that virus again. And, since I got my proxy settings all back to normal, I should be able to download it now.

Still ... I'm afraid. My laptop is my buddy. It has everything. My stories, my music, my comics, my buddies ...

Anyway, I should get to my homework, reply to my threads on NN, get some pictures going for HARPG, work on my Gambit picture. Wow, things to do, much?
