Well I've finally made my 75th post but to talk about
Ok I've finished Magic Knight Rayearth[easily the best manga I've encountered] and I keeping thinking how glad I am that Earth is ruled the way it is instead of how Cephiro is,I know I wouldn't want to live in a world where one person will controls it all.Ok that's all for spoilers
I'm 2/5 the way to getting the laptop of my dreams and I'll have enough by about mid-July with breaks and such plus that lousy 10% tithing.I can't wait til' I can get a laptop and I really hope they still have the one I'm looking for by that time and I really hope that the laptop won't be a dissapointment.
But the best part admist all this is that I really don't have much else to talk about,becuase this weekend has been uneventful which is GREAT after all the hard work and tiringness of a regular school day and al those many other things.
I think I'm gonna take a walk now then play some Battalion Wars and who knows what
See y'all later

Wow it's almost March,already???
Sometimes I wish I was still 5.Back when I was 5 everything was simple.
Teddy Bears took care of everything
$10 bought the world
Christmas was actually a long wait,not quick like a cat on haunches
Easy homework
My point is I'm still in January and it's almost March.I've gotten behind on my Rayearth which I now feel like explaining however since this not, I repeat not my side blog where I'm in critique mode I shall nutshell it all out,so...far because I have fallen behind on my Rayearth. So far it looks like 3 girls from Tokyo (different schools though) go on a field trip to Tokyo Tower.Everything seems normal except the trio hear a voice in which leads to the floor collapsing and they end up in another world.The world of Cephiro where all is conrolled by will power but the ruler balances Cephiro with her will power becuase this ruler has the strongest will to protect it and the pillar gets kidnapped and of course that leads to the Magic Knights being summoned (who are of course the 3 girls).I'll give no more becuase the rest is meant for my review.
At last Dark Serenity is done so I no longer have to deal with fanfic related kickoffs and I can finally hear more about Stones of Destiny [I really hope that's a working title becuase it sounds to generic now I currently don't know a better name of course I'm kinda' tired] which left off in the middle of a conversation. Chris Heimerdinger left off with 20 peoples lives at stake[yes 20 main characters,that's ridiculous],Lemony Snicket didn't give the answer we wanted to hear,instead he gave us an answer that we mostly had to decipher ourselves,Colville went on a 10 year hiatus but this,........?!? Really it's incredible and not in a good way
Goals for weekend
1.Look back at New Year's Resolutions and see how I've done
2.Get another review and personal post in
3.Back to work on my Icelandic
4.Get homework out of the way
5.More sleeping and eating [DUH!]

The Monkey World Weekend Edition: Issue 20
Well this is the 20th weekend I'm put up a post since June 27th last year when I started the whole thing.
It's been almost a month since the newspaper changed it's look from unique and gorgeous to looking like USA Today[and yes I have seen the USA Today look].Nearly a month sinec finals were over and a week since that college tour. Wow time sure flies by even when you're bored by mediocrity. Ok fine it's not all boring some of it's frustrating [like why my brain takes a freeze ray and pulls the trigger on himself during an Algebra test or why I'm stuck dealing with Joel{not going past that}],some of it is great [like getting home or reading Magic Knight Rayearth or Calvin and Hobbes at the library].
So yesterday was the High School Talent Show.Fun??? Exciting????? No,not really.Nightmare yes!
First the line was too long,then the people were talking about stuff I'd rather not repeat,the tickets cost $28[I didn't know I'd need my ID] and once we got in the people were of course too loud and obnoxious [to be expected] but the music was so loud and bland not even earplugs would tone it down heck I don't even think noise killing earmuffs would tone it down.Luckily Asm's act was among the first. The first act was singing [pretty good but not brilliant],the next act was Asm's.Her poem was brave and quite deep but I think she's trying to send us all on a guilt trip if we offend her or even try to help.The next act was was another song [which was much better,but it got to loud].After that was a poem (I really liked but it sounded familiar and according to Asm it was not memorized) then there was a dance act which had the stupidest background music and felt fake.The final act I paid any attention toa light show which was by far the most impressive [of course there's no way a poem or song can compete with a light show].In the middle of the next act which extremely obnoxious and loud,I left and stayed outside until it was finally over.
I'll explain more about Magic Knight Rayearth later

Holy Crap, Only 2 years left!
Lets see last I'm I posted,it was a day before Barack Obama became president.
Since then I've
-Gotten past my finals
-Narrowly passed all my classes
-Done the Exit Exam
-Done a lot of make up work
-Gotten assigned 2 projects
-Taken a tour of 2 colleges
-Decided on the colleges that I want most and my major
-Gone hog wild with Battalion Wars
-Tried to catch up on my blogging
Well the results weren't pretty with the finals,I think I ended up with D's on a few of them.My notes weren't helpful but on a few of them I got A's I think I got a complete 100 on one them.Thankfully I managed to pass all my classes so unless something goes terribly wrong a the end of the year I won't be taking any classes again like I feared. About a week after that,all the sophomores at Berkeley High had to take the Exit Exam
Why it's called such I do not know. For one if you fail it you have like 55 times to try it over,for two if you do pass your stuck at High School for 2 years.Finally if you fail it you're either brain dead,not trying,or something is seriously wrong,Sahara if you are reading this I'll say you could pass it.The exam is 8th grade in Math and 6th in English.
On Monday I got assigned a memoir like project where I have to interview a relative about their experiences and stuff,then the next day I got assigned to research a nation colonized by a European power and how it all went and put it on a poster.
Yesterday,my class left school in order to tour 2 campuses [Cal State East Bay and St. Mary's College].I for one preferred St. Mary's College.Cal State looked like BYU in almost every way,except it didn't have the homely feel,it was atop a hill so the insignia was nowhere to found[by insignia I mean BYU's Y,CAL's C,University of Utah's U,Stanford's S,etc.] and the builidings where too close andit seemed a bit more for graduates over undergraduates. The tour guide didn't give too much info on the life or atmosphere either. Finally we all had lunch at the dining area[the best part of this tour by far,but nowhere near the quality of BYU cafeteria food]. I know I'm not thinking of applying here. After a really good meal the gang pakced up and headed off to St. Mary's College which is about 10 miles from Gandma's house and 8 from mine so though it's close it's not dangerously close. The tour guide this time went deep into the heart and spirit of the college.Apparently they have a system where ou have 2 semesters one whole month off and a January part. The architecture was unique,the chapel looked like a run-of-the-mill Roman church and overall this campus and the how it all was set-up was inviting
Currently my line-up looks something like
5.St. Mary's College
4.U.C. Davis
3.University of Illinois at Chicago
2.Oberlin College
1.BYU
I'm currently thinking of making Economics my major
I'm thinking about all this because one the tour,and 2,.................... HOLY CRAP ONLY 2 YEARS LEFT!!!!!
After all this I've basically gone hog wild with Battalion Wars on the GameCube and I've finally made a post you somehow read all the way through
