It's that time again!
"What, it's your time of the month?"
"Is it Miller Time?"
No! It's the weekend, which means I have time to update! C:
Midterm exams started on Thursday, and end Tuesday. Thursday I had Biology II H and English IV AP, yesterday I had Religion IV and Advanced Math H. Monday I just have Spanish II and Tuesday I have my Physics H exam and then the last exam is Band! I told everyone in my class to make food so we can have a feast during the exam. You know, since it only takes like 10 minutes to take it. Doc is too lazy to make a long or tough midterm, and also there isn't enough material that we learn that isn't auditory to make a billion different exams, so every year, every midterm and final are the exact same exam, same question order and everything. After your first two times taking it, you just stop missing any questions. XD Anyways, I'm making chocolate-covered strawberries :3
I TOTALLY did not study AT ALL for any of my exams so far, and I feel that I did well on them! It's because of my photographic memory >w< I found out that I have one! Shess!
Val-chan and I traded addresses and now we're penpals! :3 She already sent me one of a matching pair of bracelets for my Christmas present and I should be getting it any day now. I made matching friendship bracelets for both of us too, and I sent hers to her over snail mail a couple of days ago! It only costed me 98 cents to send her a letter so it's great! Yeah, I wove them myself. I bought embroidery thread in varying shades of blue, and wove them together in a diagonal stripe pattern, and also added a clasp so we don't have to deal with tying the thread ends and them getting all tangled and ratty! Great idea, huh?
Nyarth has been needing an outfit change for a long time now, and with the coming of winter in both the roleplay (PGR) and real life, he should have a winter outfit. So after the math exam yesterday I drew him in an absolutely ADORABLE outfit! I really like how it came out, and I'll ink and color it on Monday and Tuesday after I turn in the exams. You'll have to wait and see what it looks like, because...
I drew a front-reference picture for my lovely Taberius a while ago, but I only got around to coloring him today... I slightly messed up his coloring (his own creator messed up the coloring??) this time, but I really want to show y'all. So as soon as I get access to a scanner, I need to show you that picture first.
Also, I drew a sketch/fanservice of a back view of Nyarth with his shirt off, looking over his shoulder. It looks really strange, but I can't place it, and I was too lazy to try and fix it, so I just inked it as is. I'll add it to my drafts soon. Probably will never color it. XP
On Thursday after exams I hung out with some of my new friends! Actually it was Bennett, the guy who I drew recently, his older brother Evan, and Evan's friend Mason. There's a lake behind their house, and we went night-canoeing on it! It was a lot of fun! We even found pirate booty. Bennett found a noodle and I found a tennis ball. I am officially a Freshwater Pirate! I have sailed the seven lakes and smelt that swampy air! Arg! Bennett kept accidentally tipping the boat. Fail.
Then today I did almost the same thing, lol XD During the day I hung with Bennett (again lol, I know) and one of my best guy friend Ben's little brother Jacob and a girl named Maggie Pickholtz (her last name sounds like "Pickles" so we call her Pickles) and we went on the lake again but Jacob wouldn't get in the boat, and we almost tipped over again. Then we went to the store and got energy drinks and Hawaiian sweet rolls and had snacktime outside Bennett's house by the lake. Then Pickles had to go home, and I had to go to work, so I drove myself and Jacob to Taco Bell and Bennett followed us, and they stayed there for a bit, loitering, but after a while they left XD
Later, when it was almost time for me to get off work, surprisingly Evan, Bennett, and Mason were back, visiting me again! It was a good surprise, and I had a little extra time after work, so us four went night-canoeing again. Complete de ja vu, lol. But it went slightly different this time, because of the fact that when we got out into the far open water, Mason pointed out something that was making ripples in the water and was swimming very fast... it was an alligator!! O.O I heard there were gators in that lake but I never really believed it... thankfully it left us alone, and we all were pretty spooked by now, so we started paddling back to the house. And we saw ANOTHER one. We paddled like crazy back to the shore and had some trouble getting out without capsizing the boat, but we managed to get out without catastrophe.
Hooray for almost getting eaten! I said on the boat as we paddled back to shore, "Hahahaha.... we're all gonna die...! This is so awesome though!!" XD
My mom gave me a $45 gift card to Hobby Lobby for my birthday, and I finally got around to using it, so I bought myself my first batch of Prismacolor pencils and some more (legit) inking pens! I finally can ink things the right way!!
Watched more of Shugo Chara this weekend, too. It's so adorable... I love that anime. I'm going to cosplay as Amulet Spade for the next anime convention coming to my city *w*
Lookie at my final grades for this semester!
Religion: 97.1 A
Math: 84.1 C (wait WHAT?? It was just a 90! What went wrong?? T^T)
English: 90.9 B
Band: 96.1 A (yes we get grades in band)
Spanish: 91.4 B
Physics: 78.6 C (.....O! .....M! .....G!)
Biology: 77.8 C
Wow..... I'm normally a 90-97% student... What's with all the Cs?? Q____Q; I'd better try better next semester! *-*9
CAN YOU SEE THAT UP THERE????? I BROUGHT MY F IN PHYSICS UP TO A C!!!!! That makes me so happy!!! Now I have no scary-looking Fs on my transcripts!! *phew* I was scared I would have a D.....
Hm... lets see... what else... It's so late I can't concentrate anymore... I just remembered that I should try and write more to Nyarth's past, and develop Addy more as a character so that one day I might be able to use her in PGR as my second character :1 *hits head* stop procrastinating!
Ah, I'm going to bed... night guys.
Eneko out~
