The grade 10 Literacy Test...
2003-10-22 18:49:57
Today and tomorrow are the EQAO days for the grade 10s. They have to write the mandatory English test. In order to graduate from high school, one must mass this test. It's really easy, so there really shouldn't be anykind of problem.
This meant though that school started around 11:00am for the rest of the grades in high school, which of course included me. With school starting that late, I decided to watch some of my new anime. Initial D is an awesome anime! At first I didn't like the computer graphics for the cars (just like the battles in BeyBlade V Force), but after one full episode, it grew on me. I just wish I had bought a bit more of the series except for a single DVD. -_-
For some strange reason, I feel that once high school is over, life is pretty much over. I know that's not true, but it's eating me up inside. I feel like I'll lose all innocence, and that scares me because I believe being innocent is one of the greatest virtues a person can have. I'm scared to grow up, and I don't want to let go. And I'm disgusted with myself to coming to this conclusion. -_-

Patience is a virtue...

Everyone seemed to be getting really frustrated with me today because I kept asking questions in French class. Well, if I don't get it, then I'm going to ask a question to try and understand it. Simple as that. For too long have I just sat back and suffered when it came to tests and problems. So I'm trying my very best to understand the material. But after a bit today, some people got tired of it. So to "help" me, they're all yelling out the answers at once to me. Well, it was no help at all. It got to a point where a guy said "Kevin, we went through this yesterday!" (same guy who got annoyed with me before), and I just said back "Look, sorry if I don't get it, but I'm trying my best here.". Then I started thinking up all these great speeches to say back, but I knew saying more wouldn't help anything. So I sat back, and didn't say anything for the rest of the day, whether I got it or not. I was just so frustrated with people like that. School is for learning! So I'm not going to just sit back and pretend I understand. Congrats for you if you got in on the first try. Now why don't you just take it easy until the slower people get it. If you don't want to wait, then join a private school, or go to University, but while you're here in a public school, just chill out. -_-
A bunch of my friends who used to be "scared" of me, are now all out to prove they're stronger than me. LOL! It's funny because this is only happening because they found out how much I weigh. With word out that I weigh 122lbs, they all think I'm no longer a threat. Which I'm not, because I refuse to fight back. So I guess I could let them think I'm no match for now... but sooner or later, they'll get a nice surprise... ~_^
A young girl went missing yesterday not too far from here. She's believed to have been kidnapped. Her name is Cecilia, and she's 9 years old. She was last seen when her parents wished her a goodnight, but in the morning, the back screen window of her house was found to have been pryed open, and she was nowhere to be found. I hope that she returns safely to her parents.

Insecure people who feel the need to show off...

These school days are getting longer. I probably spend at least 3 days a week after school now. Compared to "never" for the last three years, I'd say that's a big difference! lol
I've been trying hard to take things slower and allow myself to fully comprehend it all before jumping to conclusions. In school it's harder to do this, since people are so impatient. If I ask too many questions, people get annoyed. Bah, patience is a virtue, and it seems to be one not commonly acquired. -_-
It felt so odd to wear my glasses for a full day again. I decided not to bother wearing my contacts, so I went with my glasses. I wonder how different I look when wearing glasses... o_0
I just saw the commercial for Super Mario Advance 4 (Super Mario Bros. 3), talk about funny! Nothing better than seeing about bunch of people pulling off Mario's signature moves! And I'm guessing this was originaly the Japanese version, because all the people were Japanese.
I've been getting annoyed with one of my teacher's lately. He's a good and smart teacher, but I think unconsciously he's constantly trying to show off. Why do I think this? He's always mentionning all these useless facts. He's like, "did you know..." or "actually, it was...". I don't mind people doing this, but it happens at least a few times everyday. And this is all in one period! I find it hard to keep respect for those who constantly need to show off.

Finally accomplished something...
2003-10-19 23:11:23
I was finally able to study for a bit. Good thing too, because I have a Physics test tomorrow morning, which I missed on Friday. ^_^
I wasn't actually able to work on it right away, so I read some Kare Kano (vol. 4 to be exact). Whenever I'm having a hard time working on homework, I find that that anime is perfect for motivating you to accomplish something academically. Too bad it's already midnight, otherwise I'd start working on my French project.
I seem to be on a trend with day-dreaming about the craziest situations! You know, what if I died? What if a good friend of mine died? What would I be like if my life was even harder? What would if I do if I was accidently matched up with my crush to ride in the Tunnel of Love (That's what happens when you watch Hey Arnold!)? What would it be like if people could read my mind, and I could read theirs? About that last one, I mean only my mind, so it's like I've lost all privacy. People would start thinking they've acquired ESP, but it only works around me. Your life would be become an open book! 0_0
Time to come back to reality. I'm feeling better now because I slept for half an hour, then meditated for another half an hour. So I got a good bit of rest, definitely something I needed. ^_^
I should get to sleep, so may you all have a good night, and I wish that you all have pleasant dreams.

Body and mind are exhausted...
2003-10-19 16:46:48
I'm really tired. I've gone out with friends for the past two nights, which was rally nice. After getting home and everything, I still wasn't in bed until 2:00am. I just need to take things a bit slower than usual, so I can regain my strength.
I haven't worked out in 2 days, and tonight I have hockey. This has been ever since I cut my hands. I wonder if it's a sign. Everyone keeps telling me to wear gloves, but I just think I was sloppy the last time. Anyways, they're free to advise me to do it another way, but who says I'll listen?
I've been driving everyday. I'm getting a little better, but it's always sprung up on me at the last minute. My dad asks if I want to go somewhere, and when I walk out to the car, he's in the passenger seat. I don't mind driving, but I really don't get a chance to decide. Just like the Matrix (Reloaded), the only way the world can work is if you give the people a choice.
I was on an anime spree this weekend. I bought "The Dark Myth", "My Neighbor Totoro", "Perfect Blue", "Initial D" and "Ninja Scroll". I think I should take it easy for a bit now. ^_^
I've spent most of the day organizing my dad's office. At first he was obssessed with me making a floor plan for it, and organizing the whole thing, but when I finally got down to doing it, he wouldn't give me anytime to do anything. He just wanted the room put together right away. That started to really piss me off. Like come on, if you want my help, let me work. I don't know why I ever bother helping him. -_-
I have 2 tests tomorrow, a project due on Friday, and one due next Thursday. The Thursday one is a MAJOR project, so I need to be working on it for the next while. Plus I have two books to read for the end of the week, though I don't know when to do it. I wish I could focus a bit better though, because then I could get a good chunk done right now, but it's just not happening. I'm starting to hate my gosh darn work habits.
