A weight problem
2004-02-02 21:32:58
I may not have a weight problem, but I starting to think I have some sort of mental weight problem. -_-
What in the world am I talking about? Well, I'm now 127lbs. I've gained about 4 lbs in a few months. I admit, I'm still growing a bit (not taller, but growing out), and I've been working out, but I still hate the idea of gaining weight, not matter how little. I have this childish idea about staying the same weight (not even physically possible), no matter how old I get. Ugh, I sicken even myself when I notice how much I care about this insignificant topic.
Put it this way, I'm 5'9", male, slim build, 17 y/o and am around 127lbs. I'm willing to bet most people will think I'm pretty light. But I just don't know why I can't see the same thing as them. Why, for all I know, it could be muscle and not fat (actually very realistic possibility). -_-
Anyways, other than my selfish views about myself, there's nothing very new to talk about. I won't go into detail about my school day, but I will admit that I think this will be a challenging year. Not just in school work, but in remaining secure about myself. What I mean is (just so I don't leave people in the dark) that I barely know anyone in most of my classes (opposite from first semester) and every other day at lunch I'm going to be sitting all alone (every other day, music students have to give up their lunch period to attend an extra music class, and practically everyone I eat lunch with takes music). I'm positive I'll be feeling insecure pretty often in the beginning of this semester.

A new semester on the way...
2004-02-01 18:29:47
:: sigh :: What a boring topic to talk about in a Journal, but I suppose that school is a big part of life, so I can't exactly ignore it. lol
I now have gym in the morning, Computers, Math, lunch and last but not least, English. This should be a nice change, but nonetheless challenging just because I need to do so well. -_-
I just bought the complete series of Dilbert. I just love that show. That was a pretty penny. Not only that, but I got Pokémon Ruby (I had to get at least one of the new ones) and the GBA/GC cable. Buying the cable now saves me $20 when I go buy Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, so I'm happy with that. ^_^
No reviews lately? Sorry. I haven't had the attention span lately to be able to review anything.
Need something not so boring now? lol I went skiing on Friday with these girls. No worries though, I'm not really interested in either of them, we're just your usual friends. Anyways, skiing was great, and we had tons of fun. I was actually considering not going because a lot of the other people cancelled at the last moment, so that's why there was only three of us. But I decided to go, trying to keep going this year with the resolution of always trying new things. We had lots of crazy moments, and one even where I was mistaken at a woman. I had ski goggles on, with a hood and this green jacket. So when she walked out, I waved, but she walked right past me. -_- Let me tell you, she had a heart attack when I took off the goggles and she realized it was me! lol
It's the February 1st?!?! Awww... I never got around to finish nominating AMVs for the VCAs. I was only about half done. Oh well, looks like there's nothing I can do about it now. -_-

Fun, Silence, Death... (Part 5-conclusion)
2004-01-29 20:10:53
Well, I found out how I did on my exams and what are my final marks.
-Art: exam 82 / final 84
-Fench: exam 69 / final 77
-Math: exam 75 / final 73
-Physics: exam 59 / final 61
Not exactly very impressive. That Physics marks is starting to make me regret going to the Leaf game. It could have given me another seven hours to study. Not to mention that Physics was my last and hardest exam. If I want to have an 80% average by the end of the year, I'm going to have to work like a maniac next semester. 0_0
School was boring today. No one was really around, and even the teachers weren't exactly puntual for class. In fact, I actually didn't stay the whole day, since a friend of mine offered to drive me home. I refused, wanting to stay the whole day, but she didn't exactly take no as an answer. Oh well, I got home early, and was indeed nice of her. ^_^
I feel a little depressed right now. Not about the exams, but about who I am. I've always tried my best to be one of those stereotypical people who seem flawless, but in reality have quite a bit of problems. I'm sure it sounds odd, but for some reason it's one of the only things that feels natural. And yet lately I've been a little disappointed in my "flawless" part of life. I put my foot in my mouth, say things I probably shouldn't have, and make comments that should have been thought twice about (yes, all these things are one and the same -_-). It's natural because everyone does it, yet I just can't accept it from myself. It's just not good enough to be normal. I expect so much more, and never seem to be able to delived when needed. I should take some advice from some anime characters and just not talk so much. The quiet kids always look so deep in thought, like there's always something important on their mind...

Study, Break, Death... (Part 4)
2004-01-28 10:47:48
Yesterday after my French exam, I studied fast and hard because I was going to the Leaf game. Unfortunately, it didn't help much. I got home from teh game at 11:30pm, and was given the advice to head to bed for a good night's sleep. Big mistake. I should have stayed up for at least a few more hours, because I still didn't have teh foggiest idea behind some of the concepts. Anyways, I woke up late (even with going to bed early), but got to school on time. There, I found out our Cheat sheet could be double-sided!!! The previous day I had crammed everything onto a single side. Argh... I couldn't believe it. I tried to spend the few minutes finding good examples to add to the backside, but there wasn't enough time, the exam was starting. I spent the next 2 hours struggling with questions and equations, and by the end of it, I think I completed around 80% of it. That means if I got perfect on everything I wrote, that would be the best I could do. In reality, I'll probably get a 60%. Compared to my usual tests, that's not bad, but my goal was a high 80s, so you could say I'm a little disappointed.
The Toronto Maple Leaf game took up about 7 hours of my time yesterday, but I'm still glad I went. I got to use up some Executive Box seats which were really cool. Unfortunately they didn't win. The Carolina Hurricanes beat them by a score of 2-0. The Leafs had 32 shots on Kevin Weekes, but he was amazing. If only Stajin (sp?) has scored on his breakaway (he hit the post), it could have given us an edge. Oh well, they still played well, so I don't understand why some people booed at the end. Talk about loyal fans. -_-
Today, I plan on vegging. Some computer, tv, movies, video games... Nothing that involves thinking. After four exams since Monday, my brain is fried. Stayed tuned to tomorrow, for the conclusion of this 5 part series on my exams... when I get my marks!

Study, Break, Study... (Part 3)
2004-01-27 12:15:20
Yesterday I was a little slow on the studying bit, but that was actually fine because the exam wasn't that hard. I just finished my third exam this morning, and to my surprise, the format was a lot easier than I had expected. I'm fully aware I guessed on many of the questions, but with over half of it multiple choice, then some verbs, a site passage and discussion questions, there was nothing that required that much time. In fact, I finished with half an hour to spare, and ended up doing something I hadn't done in years, practice balancing my pencils, rulers and pens to make a scupture right there in the middle of class. Of course the teacher disapproved, but hey, I was done the exam, and I was careful enough not to let any of them drop and disturb those still writing.
Tomorrow is my last exam. I still can't believe I've had to write four exams this year. Most people have at most three. Oh well, today will be the last day I'll have to study for a while at least. Though there's now one snag... I'm going to the Toronto Maple Leafs' game tonight! I've been debating whether to go or not for the past few days, and finally came to a decision yesterday. I decided that I'd risk it, and spend the night out even with an exam the next morning. Hopefully I won't bomb this exam, because I won't exactly let myself live it down. -_-
Every school board is closed but ours! As usual, everywhere got tons of snow but our little area. I just don't understand our region. Toronto got like 30cm, while we only managed around 10cm. I starting to miss all the snow. This is probably the third time this year that we were supposed to get tons of snow, but it never arrived. :: sigh :: What are the chances...
In the mean time, I should get studying. Only a few hours until I have to leave, so I better make use of it. ~_^
