Mini Rant #3 :Names + The Day's Happenings

          Helloooo. A late post on a Tuesday evening sounds good, no? xD I thought that since I didn't have much homework and didn't want to use up so many GBs this month (remember what happened last time?:P), by watching youtube videos, I thought that I might as well type up a post.
          Okay, so this is going to be a short rant but I still feel the need to mention it. That's just how horribly, senseless people can be. -shakes my head-
          So, as you guys know, I've had Careers class for half a semester, which translates to about 2 1/2 months. Actually, today we just switched to Civics, which will end at the end of June (I'll talk more about this at the end). Okay, so I know I should TOTALLY rant on the Careers' teacher because her voice is soo soft that it LITERALLY makes you tired enough to sleep, especially if you sit in the front, which was where I sat in her class -_____- . So, pretty much she talks for like 10 minutes and everyone pretty much zones out. That's why it's soo exciting when we go to the computer lab, which was like 3/4 of the class, because then we do our work and we don't have to listen to her talk. Also, Kayla and I think that she has mood-swings.
          Okay, so this is not ACTUALLY suppose to be about the teacher, even though she wasn't the best, but it does involve her. So, you know how teachers try to learn your names within....maybe the first 2 weeks? Yeah, well pretty much all teachers accomplish this. BUT, WHO THE HELL DOESN'T KNOW THE TEACHER'S NAME? -__________- Now you know why I wrote this. -shakes my head- .
          This student in my class, I'm not exactly close with her but we were in a couple of classes and she didn't seem too bad. However, why the heck wouldn't you know a teacher's name? It obviously mentions their name and room number on the timetable -.- Plus, it was 2 months into the course and you would've heard her name in the first sentence of her welcome-to-the-first-day-of-Careers-speech -____- .
          I, personally, am a fast-learner with names, since I hear them thrown around within a classroom and what-not, so that may be why I'm so sensitive to this kind of stuff. But seriously, still shaking my head...
       
          Now for today's update: EXCITING! Today, I had a better than average day, as you can probably tell by my fishes over to the left ----->  . So, basically, since many of you guys may not know how I depict my mood with the fish, I will explain briefly. Pretty much, I use the colours and the number of fish to show my mood. From that, I'm pretty sure you get the gest of it xDD
          In Science class today, we started Ecology. This part wasn't really exciting since we just wrote notes, like we always do, and then did questions. It's actually one of the units that I have some background knowledge on, which is great because my Science teacher the year before, taught us very limited things, making me feel extremely clueless with vocabulary and what-not -.-
          As I mentioned above, I HAD CIVICS CLASS TODAY! I was actually nervous in Science because I've heard others in my class say how in Civics, they get tests and what-not. I thought that I would actually prefer Careers over Civics, since you don't do anything in Careers but Civics is actually not bad. He got us to think about Democracy, Autocracy and Consensus. I'm excited to see what's in the curriculum. Plus, the teacher is VERY laid-back but he attempts to make jokes that are VERY lame xDDD
          Alright, English class. I love the teacher but I dread this course -.- But today was surprisingly a good day because I'm pretty sure I either got perfect or 1 mark off on a quiz we had to do based on 2 chapters in Brave New World.
          The ones who know me, may be going like, well don't you always do good on tests? Capital N to the No. From the previous 2 quizzes, I got 75%s even though I studied -.- So, pretty much to study for the quiz we had today, I tried to combine the 2 studying techniques to get a prefect solution.
          Okay, so the first time around, I read the 2 chapters, wrote notes on sticky notes(that didn't exactly help) and then read the chapter again right before the quiz. The second time, I read the 2 chapters once, took notes and read the notes right before the quiz. This time around, I decided to read it once, write notes, read it again, add on to the notes, and then look at the notes right before the quiz. Looks like I'm sticking to this technique for the tests :D
          Today, in band, we had another testing. I actually think that I did AMAZING! My last testing, after the one that I bombed (which I still remember xD), was okay but not my best so I wanted to do REALLY well on this one. Therefore, I practiced for an hour and a half on the weekend and half an hour yesterday. IT WAS AWESOME!
           Oh and what I forgot to mention on Saturday's post was my joy for: A USB CABLE! I found a different USB Cable that came with this touch-screen Mp3 player thing that I never use anymore, now that I have my Touch-screen Ipod Shuffle (: .But since I can upload photos from the camera, I may start taking photos of things, but then again, I ain't the most photogenic :3
          OH YEAH, And tomorrow, I'm going to a Wedding, which should be an exciting event, but I have no clue who the bride and groom are, other than that the bride's father is my dad's friend. So, yeah, that's what's going on with the Melon to the Knee <---LOLOL Try to guess what I'm trying to do there xDD Type it in the comment section! It will probably crack me up :P

Bloomed -> Blooming~

  1. I can't tell if you're making a wordplay on your name or if you're mocking the arrow to the knee joke...or both...

    Also, you don't have a lot of tests in civics. You just have to do a lot of homework. You and Kayla really got my hopes up for careers. I thought we'd be doing surveys by now.

      ^ Yes, I was doing a wordplay on my name xDD When I was younger, people asked how to pronounce my name and I'd say, Melon-Knee :P

      Got your hopes up? Surveys SUCK (:
