I need to get more sleep every night, especially since I'm on the road practically everyday.
Oh, I also have a contemporary drawing of one of my situations in a golf game I had today. (Note, I am not on the 7th hole, I'm still trying to get to the green on the 6th hole) |

I hate spiders. I hate them so much. They're trying to keep me inside by putting up webs everywhere that I go. The garage, the trees, between the cars. They're just furthering my hatred of the outdoors. Thankfully it's still good indoors because we finally renewed Xbox Live~
Oh, and in unrelated news, I finally got my Learner's Permit. Now I can... I dunno what I can do. |

It's also been ages since I last played Animal Crossing. (Probably around a year and a half since I touched City Folk. ) As for me, I have to memorize a quote from Hamlet for a grade. I got some of it done, but I still have a long way to go... "To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether tis nobler for the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them. To die- to sleep- No more- and by a sleep to say we end the heartache and thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to." |

I've actually never been to my own Homecomings. I've never had a reason. It's uninteresting, no one I wanted to see went, and no one's ever wanted me to go. Plus, I don't do public dances. Or dances in general. But this year, someone that I'm stalking is going, so I think this year I'll try it out. Besides, I'm a junior. This is gonna be my best year! |

Apparently because I couldn't find another job yet, My parents are wanting me to be a Roughneck like my dad was. Not sure how to feel about this. I feel bad because I didn't really have a say in it. But I also feel alright with it because at least I'll have a better future than what I figured I'd have.

I had a court of honor in Boy Scouts today, and so I got the patch for going to Philmont and also the Life rank... That means that all there's really left for me now is working on Eagle... 3 years of scouting, on my 4th right now, the time goes by so fast... I remember being a small little first year with long hair and always thinking about being here... it's so weird, I've never thought about actually being one of the older people at anything. Worst part is, though, life doesn't slow down from here on out. :I

Thanks!! Aha and yeah I know how to take people down too. In kill the carrier today, I killed everyone! haha but you should know that it's not all about taking people down. It requires a lot of technique and being able to execute the techniques during the match. It's pretty hard work but once you train a lot for it, it's easy. In fact, I'm training tomorrow at my old school, but mostly because I want to see my friends and gf.. lol

It feels strange not having school tomo- technically today, actually. That means I can have a totally great day, then. Full of practicing for Honor Band auditions... I hope I get in. First chair would be great, too, but kind of absurd. I'm gonna be so nervous I might not even make it in to Honor Band, especially since I had to lie about what instrument I had.
Well, ignoring the possible disastrous outcomes of that, there's a football game on Saturday and... this is it... I have to dance to Gangnam Style in public... I'm dead. |

I found out that next Wednesday, I have to leave for a marching band competition at 3:20 and I won't be back at school until midnight. I don't know why it was scheduled for Wednesday, but it doesn't change the fact that I don't like it.

We're reaching the last minutes of September~
Ba de ya~ Say do you remember~? Ba de ya~ Dancing in September~ Ba de ya~ Never was a cloudy daaaaay~ September is one of my favorite months. I don't know what it is, but it's just nice to me~ And a lot of good things happened this month that I'll never forget. This year's already starting to look like the best year of high school~ |

I've been so bored out of my mind lately like omg.
No one plays video games anymore because "Omgg, I have homework and I care about studies." I'm literally the worst high school student ever. I have so much late work and it's only a month into school. And then there's no video games to play because Black Ops 2 doesn't come out until next month and the XBLA version of Minecraft got boring all of a sudden because the update was blasted all over Twitte and now it has me just waiting... But seriously, forget homework. School is cool but homework, man. ;c |

Oh the joys of multi-console gaming.
Since it was one of my friends birthday today, My other friends and I decided to get him a cake. For some reason the final writing on the cake was "Shut up and take this cake... Please!" We also tried to get sparklers at a local gas station but they didn't sell any, So we settled with solid regular candles. In the end it was hilarious to see a cake with five stock candles representing 4.6 of life with a cake telling you to shut up... Oh it was funny.

I thought October was going to be a good followup to September, or maybe even better. But it was the opposite of both. It's been going completely downhill starting with Monday, and even though I'm still surprisingly in a good mood, I can feel myself falling apart.
But right now I'm mostly falling apart from how nervous I am because Honor Band auditions are tomorrow. I'm confident that I'll get in however, and hoping that I'm lucky enough to get first chair. I mean, I AM the only one who plays my specific instrument in high schools in this whole county. |

A-level is hell. To all those in high school, enjoy it as much as you can; college tears you apart.
I am only taking three subjects; Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry. Yet for some reason, the amount of work I am doing is triple what I did back in IGCSE, despite studying eight subjects back then. We had a Chemistry test last Tuesday, which I think I am going to barely pass. I am being optimistic here. The Biology test went well. The hardest one is Mathematics. Pure (Calculus), Mechanics and Statistics. These three are consuming most of my time. What is worse, I can't understand a figure in Statistics. Oh, the joy. And by the way, I am having my SAT on Saturday. Any tips? |

Reading Comp: Look at the questions first before you read the passage, it saves time in the long run. For sentence completions, fill in the blanks with a word you feel should be put there, then look at the answer choices for a synonym of that word you put in. Math: Don't fall for false variables. If you see a triangle or an exclamation mark next to a number, it's the same thing as 7x or 7y. Be sure to know your Geometry well too; especially angles. It also helps if you draw diagrams and label them. Don't forget to read the question carefully, they will purposely try to trick you. You will also never see any math problems that go beyond Algebra II, trust me. Writing: The part where you actually write a short essay is not difficult, it's actually quite easy to get a 6/12 without even trying too hard. The second part is the grammar section. For grammar, you an usually instantly see the problem by reading the sentance aloud in your head. Whenever something doesn't sound right, you know it's wrong. If that method fails, then be sure to check your modifiers and/or subject verb agreement. |

Maths was okay, except for some questions that were just too tricky and time consuming, that I had to ignore them. I think I left 10 at most. There is one question I believe could be wrong, while the others all be right. Critical reading was disastrous. Not only I have left many questions, but I guessed a number of them too. I am afraid that these might turn out wrong. The results will be out in 20 days. I will make sure I post them here. |

This past week for me has been especially rough, and the only thing that can really cheer me up is knowing that I'm about to get a copy of Black 2 today. I've been missing two of my cats that were taken off to the animal shelter about two weeks ago...and on top of this my job hunting has been going nowhere, and I'm beginning to lose my patience. I can't even land an entry-level part time job, and it's making me feel like I'm pathetic. Hopefully I can ease my frustrations playing Black 2.

My precious baby, the Golden Clarinet! Uhh, I mean, Soprano Saxophone. Quite nice that a lot of people recognized what it was, but no one there actually played one. It's not a high school level instrument, and they don't even write sheet music for it. And to me, not even the 5 bands I'm currently in is enough

Tomorrow I'm heading to my orthodontist. Sounds normal enough, except this appointment is going to tell the ortho dentists whether I need surgery or not, so I am somewhat nervous. I just hope my gut instinct is right that I won't need it.

My day is turning sunny side up~
I went to my ortho appointment waiting for my dentist to tell me I need surgery. Turns out I won't need to if I keep doing what I'm currently doing. So looks like I won't need it! When I got home, I got an E-mail saying a coin I ordered six months ago. ( This one ) is coming in the mail! Man. My day is good today~ |

You know? My day has been pretty good too.
Despite not going to school due to that would be running the risk of more asthma attacks, I got a package in the mail from Michigan Tech. University saying I have been accepted there. It's a pretty high-end school for computer science, so that's exciting news for me. |

One thing I nearly forgot, but we were in World History talking about the Mughal Empire, I think. The teacher was talking about one of the leaders taking some sort of fatal shot by arrow to the knee. I had to resist multiple times from shouting out something Skyrim related. Mostly because I knew no one would get it, and those that would get it would hate me because it's overused. |

I just found out a friend of mine who constantly rips me for not taking care of my laptop broke his for the second time this year, and had to go send it in for repair.
I find it funny because what he calls careless caretaking is just two strips of duct tape holding rubber stoppers on the bottom because I didn't want to use glue. |

(If you don't follow, I'm a crew member at KFC. Hope that helps)
I was at work on Thursday, and we had a FLOOD of customers coming in. So much that we ran out of mac and cheese, and had only enough corn to fill two small containers. Someone went through the drive-thru, and ordered a 10 piece chicken meal with a large mashed potatoes and gravy, and a large mac and cheese, with an additional side of large sweet corn. So I have to go out there and remind him "sorry, sir, we've run out of mac and cheese. Did you want to throw something else in there?" So he sighs, and says "fine, a large potato wedge." So I get him that, but then I realize I have to go back out again and tell him "we only have enough corn for two small containers." He sighs again, loudly, and says "just do what you can." I get the two small containers of corn ready and I hand the meal out to him. Then he asks for a feedback form, which I replied that there should be a link to a website on the receipt. Then, he asks for my first and last name. Not knowing it's recommended I keep that secret from customers (more specifically my last name), I give him that. I don't want to sound like I'm bashing a customer, considering I'm not allowed to, but it's not up to ME what we do and do not have. Oh, I almost forgot, he came back yesterday, but rather than asking for a large mac and cheese and large sweet corn, he asked for a chocolate little bucket parfait...

I'm starting to get into the Halloween spirit! I've switched over to my pumpkin themed glaceon avatar, and I've been putting thought towards possible costume ideas. I probably won't go trick or treating, but instead go to a small party one of my cousin's is hosting. I won't be able to go as anything fancy though, since anything I come up with will have to be homemade. I'm thinking maybe a rocker of some sort, but I did that idea already...maybe I should try something like a "movie star" look. Trying to think outside the box here. I'm not really much for going as anything scary, though.

Hmmm... Electronics recycling, huh? Guess dead, out-of-warranty devices have to go somewhere. That's what happened with my old old phone that I've been using as a makeshift router lately.
Also, going out to eat can be expensive. |

This week could've been better for me. I need more confidence, I can't do anything that my heart desires. Plus, I could've done myself a favor and not have lost my 3DS, putting me in an instant panic and turning to depression and... well, it's a good thing my mom found it. Now I'm back in the swing of things and ready to go on with success~
There was also a Marching Band Showcase on Wednesday. Even though we had like NO moves, I think we did pretty good. And we looked rrreeeeaaaally stupid during Gangnam Style, but I think that's the point. Dress classy, dance cheesy! X3 |

Today I got informed that I have a job interview on Tuesday. I'm actually glad that possibly soon I'll be doing something during my days. I'm not holding out though. But hey, if it does work out, that's a plus in my books.

Indeed it's always difficult to even live in other countries, nevermind having to work everything out so you could have residence, a job, AND access to education. This is why when I talk about applying to Harvard for law eventually, it's a complete joke. (The reason why it wouldn't be a joke, is because to American universities, a Canadian 100% in a class is much more impressive than an American 100%.)
Aaaanyways, good luck, Spirit! |

It's super expensive! No matter where you're moving to, it's a chore. When I'm in my late 20s/early 30s though I plan to move to Europe somewhere. It would be awesome! Especially considering the weather there is mild, exactly how I love it!I'm positive you did well, Spirit. You're quite bright!

I actually just got accepted into another college in my state. The applications weren't as big of a deal as half my school made it out to be. In fact, I'd say they were rather simple.

My biggest issue is financial aid. My father isn't capable of paying a university's fees, and what makes it worse is that I am pursuing Medicine, the most expensive field. I am worried that I would not be given this financial aid and end up not going to university.

Yeah, I have considered that already. For now, I am preparing all my report cards since grade 9 to show my academic achievements. I already prepared all certificates of extracurricular activities I have done for the past four years. I am asking my school's headmaster tomorrow to write a letter of recommendation for me. If all of these fail, then I am ending up with a loan for sure.

Just checking in to make post 11,000. Probably going to wait for post 11,111 then disappear from this thread.
So, how to make this post of any use to anyone...hm...I've been listening to the Soundtrack of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse lately. Listening to Castlevania music is probably the closest I'll be getting to celebrate Halloween this year. Ok, that's what I got to say, somebody explode in celebration of 11,000 posts, kthxbye |
