Week 7, 8, and 9
Well it's been weeks since I've last updated, but I really have no news. All I can do is rant about the Olympics, my tests, spring break, and tennis.
1) Olympics! They were fun, that's for sure. I really liked Shizuka Arakawa, and she definitely deserved the gold over Sasha and Irina. Irina's fall shocked me, as well as the low marks given to the other Japanese girl. For men's figure-skating, I really wish Evan Lysacek hadn't been sick or he definitely would have made the medal stand. Johnny Weir messed up his long program, but it wasn't really that great anyway. The silver medalist's outfit was terrible. Pleushenko's long program was actually kind of boring, at least compared to his short program, and I wish he had more competition so that he would actually do something challenging. Half-pipe was interesting. Shaun White is cute when he talks. His jaw is reallly big or something because he kind of looks like an ape. Speed-skating had all that "drama" between Hedrick and Davis. Well I personally like Davis better, and I don't know why. But Apollo Ohno is so much cooler than the rest. Enough about the games.
2) Week 8 was a bad week. 2 midterms and an essay. The essay sucked, but it was only a draft so I get to rewrite it this weekend. I didn't do too bad on the Chem. midterm...105 out of 120. Our class median was a 65, which is horrible. Koreeda isn't even that bad of a teacher...it was a hard test, but people should have still placed in the 90's. What makes me angry about Chem. this semester is that the HTML project is worth 200 points, or about 2 midterms. That's why I didn't care that much about this midterm. Classic Civ's midterm was really easy. I should have gotten an A- or A on it. I love how easy Classic Civ. is.
3) Spring break was awesome because I did nothing. Well actually I did some homework. But I also bought a bunch of yarn, got a haircut, got my teeth cleaned and went to the eye doctor. Only my left eye got worse, so I didn't get new glasses for once. I didn't even play that much Dragonquest. I did go see the Troy HIgh Symphonic Band at District Festival yesterday. My sister played flute, piccolo, and piano. The songs were cool, though they have a lot to work on. My sister was mad at herself because she messed up the piccolo duet (she was off by a measure or something). We didn't stay to see the scores, but I'm sure they got a Division 1 rating.
4) Tennis...I just wanted to rant about Nadal. Yay, he beat Federer! Now Federer can be mad at someone and want revenge. I can't wait for the French Open, where everyone will be going after Nadal. Hopefully the Americans do better at the Open than they did last year.
