Well congratulations!! ^^ I'd probably celebrate with some friends if I'd just finished a huge project that was taking time from my social life lol.

I don't really like spicy food in general, though I have a certain tolerance for it. As long as I can still taste what I'm eating and drinking, it's all good, but I can't stand not being able to taste anything for any amount of time, whether it's because I have a cold or because the spiciness killed my taste buds. x_x;;

I haven't had any classes or professors that were strictly auditory (at least where I needed to take notes) yet, but I'm sure I will in the future, so hopefully I can write fast enough, short hand and all. I'd probably invest in a recording device and use it to write/rewrite anything I missed from attempting to take notes in class. xD I've had teachers who love to talk, but barely any of them required us to take notes over what they were talking about unless it was already being shown. We did try this exercise in my second year of French where we were supposed to listen to an excerpt over French economy or something and only listen, and then be timed to write down anything we thought was important from listening to the excerpt. Then the reader would go over the important points. I think I did decently with those exercises...not perfect, but not terrible either.

Haha, it's alright. I didn't get to go on the field trip today because I figured it'd be better to take my test instead since my Final is a week from today. Somehow, I don't think I passed this test, or if I did, I barely made it. So I need to study extra hard for the Final for the rest of the week. Also need to catch up with some biology assignments. I'm glad our Final for that is open book, open note, and open friend. Our teacher thinks it's kind of unfair to make us memorize all this stuff when, 1: we don't have time to talk about everything (it's a hybrid class, meaning most of our learning is done on our own, and we ask questions about whatever we're confused about in class), 2: not all of us are going to use this information later in life, and 3: memorization is just torture to the brain. I think reason 3 goes with reason 1, but yeah. It's just too stressful to try to make students memorize everything, in my biology teacher's eyes, so we just talk about what we learn and any current events that have to do with biology. I actually prefer this kind of class over others, not because it's "easier" but because we get to interact with our teacher and peers and not be working from the textbook or worksheets the entire time. Plus, everything is self-paced instead of having a set schedule, with the exception of tests. I'm taking the second part of this class next semester, and I am SO looking forward to dissections, though they're probably gonna be optional. I just won't dissect a grasshopper cuz I can't stand the crunch. ><"

Yep, learn something every day. xD Yeah, I knew that meats aren't all bad for you since before I started taking this biology class, and knew about HDL and LDL (of their existence, anyway). But yeah, I was raised to think and know that meat is a great source of protein, so when my teacher told me it's not really good for you, I was like O: WHAAAAT?! lol. I mean you spend your whole life learning one thing, then someone bursts your bubble. -.-" Kinda pisses me off, actually. NOT that I blame my teacher for what she's said, it just sorta happens, y'know. I also knew that margarine is only one molecule away from being plastic. xP What molecule that is, I've no clue, but I learned it from a friend who was a big science buff. I don't like margarine to begin with, so I have no worries. I like butter occasionally, though. It amuses me when I go to the movies...when they ask if you'd like butter on your popcorn...I sometimes feel like saying, "Sure, I'd like some scientifically altered made-to-taste-like-butter substance on my food. 8D" cuz y'know it seems like everything's being scientifically/genetically engineered or altered. Not that I know for a fact that theater butter is that way, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't real butter. I never really get it anyway because I prefer my popcorn dry. ._." Salt and butter already included, though. I only ever eat plain popcorn if it's the only thing to eat and I'm really hungry. Caramel and/or any chocolate popcorn is good too. ^^ Whenever I eat sweet, I have to have salty, and vice versa, but that's just the Filipino side of me. ^^ But sometimes I'll only have cravings for one or the other.

Yeah, I'd probably only take extra classes if I needed them for credits; at least that's how I feel right now. It was unfortunate in high school because they only offered certain classes at certain times of the day, and most of my academic classes interfered with the electives I wanted to take, like Advanced Drama and French III. I'd like to learn more French and more languages sometime, but it might have to be when I'm not worrying about school, at least for a while. Thinking about asking around about that Rosetta Stone thing...it looks good, but I feel better if I ask around rather than read or hear about it on the tv or internet. Either way, I'm probably gonna wait a while before I get into learning more foreign language(s), unless my degree and/or transfer requires it. Unfortunately, I don't remember all that I learned in my two years of French, so that'd probably influence my decision on what foreign language I'll choose to study, if it comes to that. I'd also like to learn how to speak Spanish decently, if not fluently, since my boyfriend can speak Spanish. He's tried teaching me a phrase or few, but I think I'd learn better if he or someone else was here physically teaching me. But that goes for any foreign language, possibly any subject, especially anything math associated. ><" Like most classes at my college, my math class was offered to take at home and online, but me being both a visual and auditory learner, I need to be in a classroom to understand it better. Books aren't always the best at explaining things. -.-"

Ah, being an assistant art teacher, eh? And happy birthday to your sister!! ^^ Sounds like a fun day. I haven't had sushi in a while, but that sounds good right now. ><" Maybe get some later this week. 8D I'm hoping to help chaperone on a field trip for my brother who's in kindergarten next Tuesday, but it all depends on if I can take my calculus test the afternoon before, since my test was scheduled for the same day as the field trip. DX I don't understand why the field trip couldn't be planned on a Friday, but schools aren't always great at planning things. I just hope I'm able to take my test and then go on the field trip the next day, but it all depends on how my teacher feels about taking tests early. I'm sure he'd understand since I'd think it'd be worse to take it later (cuz you'd have more time to study than everyone else) but I guess I'll see. Wish me luck! ^w^

Oh yeah, I LOVE the Noel's Gift. ^^ I was originally gonna buy the Seracila's Pendant from the gold I earned from selling my old stuff, but then I saw the Noel's and was like -jawdrop- lol. Soooo pretty, and it looks like a promising item, too. ^^ So I have it now and will hopefully be able to keep it either until it sells for a lot, lot higher or when it finishes evolving. If it evolves all throughout December, that's 4-5 generations. And hopefully it won't be TOO Christmas-y because then after the holidays, the price will plummet. stressed Better not...

I wish I were more of a veggie person and less of a meat person. My biology teacher (not that I do and follow EVERYTHING I'm taught) says eating meat isn't really nutritional at all. In terms of energy, there's very little value for that. Proteins...there's better ways to get proteins (like soy) because any animal product is a huge source of cholesterol. Plant products, however, have no cholesterol and are therefore much healthier for you. So I've been thinking I really need to eat more fruits and veggies than meats, but it's all gonna be a step-by-step thing. I can't give up meat entirely, I know that for sure lol. Also, I learned that light oils, such as olive oil and peanut oil, are much better to cook with than butter or lard (we only use butter here) because oils are saturated fats, meaning they won't clog your arteries like unsaturated fats. ><" You probably already know all this, so I guess I'm just saying what I've learned and am just trying to fill space. sweatdrop It's a good thing your boyfriend is looking out for you and your carrot craze lol. Don't turn orange!!! xP And my mom was trying to get me to take a womens' vitamin supplement thingy, but I have this fear that the pills will get caught in my throat if they're bigger than my pinky nail (which they were) so I had to cut it into little pieces to ease my mind, and then I stopped taking them because I didn't feel like doing that every day. And I'm not interested in taking suppositories either. ;;>> So eventually I'll have to conquer my fear of "big" pills and just take them, provided I really do need them. I try to avoid taking any kind of meds if I know I don't absolutely need it.

Lol, way to mess with peoples' psyches. xD Me, if someone doesn't answer for so long, I give up completely, cuz I tend to have other things to do instead of waiting on someone to talk. Ah, lab reports...I never liked those, at least the introductions and conclusions. I think we had it kind of easy though, because for one, our reports didn't have to be 10+ pages long, and two, we could copy everything from the lab sheets except the introduction and conclusion. I'm not sure how everything else goes in the report since I've only had to do reports my last two years in high school. I'll be taking college chemistry soon, I think either this coming summer or the fall following it. I'm glad I had two years of chemistry in high school because I remember a lot of the basic stuff (fundamentals more so than formulas) and that helped me get through the first couple chapters of biology, cuz it had to do with some chemistry and bondings of atoms and such. I really hope I don't have to take physics as part of my degree and major since I really don't like math (though I'm decent at it), so I'll have to check on that. Still need to check how far I need to go for math in general. I'd really hate to be taking more than I need to.

I'm sure you'll do fine if you do your best. ^^ Just keep at it and you'll get where you wanna be. :'D

It's alright. :3

And yeah, my emails and other messages have turned into just a few words at a time, which is a bit depressing sometimes, especially if you used to be close to the person.

Yeah, I could definitely improve my lifestyle. I need to start walking for a while every day like I said I would, but I don't have the proper shoes yet and my mom wants to go WAY too early in the morning for me. I personally hate waking up before the sun's up, plus now that it's getting colder, it's freezing at that hour. The reason it's difficult to go at night is because we have to worry about the kids' homework. I could definitely eat better, like including more veggies and fruits in my daily diet. It's not that I don't like them, I just don't eat them as often as meat and carbs. Other than diet and exercise, I think I'm alright.

Impatience is my middle name when it comes to conversations. xP Especially when I'm waiting for an answer. It's one thing if someone says "hold on, lemme think about it" but if they just pause and say nothing, it drives me insane. My young siblings, especially. Like when they know they're in trouble and you ask them their logic for doing something they shouldn't have, or sometimes to say they're sorry, they'll go silent and won't say anything, and I get so pissed off I sometimes resort to yelling and then eventually walk away. I think my sister has some sort of conversation...I'm not sure what to call it. But she'll begin saying something, then repeat the first part of it before she finishes the rest of it. Almost like stuttering, but not quite. For example, the question, "Can we go to the pet store to look at the cats and dogs?" will turn out to be "Can we go--can we go--can we go to the pet store so we can look at the cats and dogs?" If it takes her more than ten seconds to finish one sentence, I usually say, "Just spit it out already!! scream " And then there's those people who you're trying to argue with or seem to dense to understand something so simple you're trying to explain. Those times where you get to the simplest terms and they still don't understand you. That pisses me off, and it's not even about complex stuff like programming or whatever. Just everyday stuff.

Tektek was down yesterday, which pissed me off, so hopefully it's up again today. Yeah, I think that plan you were elaborating might be a little too difficult. I guess they should just keep things as is. ._."

And that's great you now have more motivation to get it done. ^^ Wish you all the best of luck, and take your time with everything, even if that means staying away from here for a while lol. Educational stuff comes first. :3

iWrox 11/25/2009 8:40 am

I don't mind lengthy replies at all. ^^ At least we have something to talk about, rather than having next to nothing. I've had conversations where all we did was exchange smileys, or say stuff like "yeah," "mhmm," "yep," etc. -.-"

Yeah, I just wanna know if there's any potential my children will have a less-than-desired lifespan. I can deal with children with disorders like down syndrome or something or other, but I can't deal with something that literally kills in so little time. I'd much rather adopt if I knew my children could be at risk. The only genetic disorders and such I think I might get in the long run are glaucoma and diabetes, both from my mom's mom. My mom just recently got glaucoma, but not diabetes yet. There might be some heart conditions that run in the family, I'm not entirely sure. And I liked how you numbered and named your conditions that could affect a child's health. Makes sense. I honestly didn't know the body could reject an egg or fetus if it knows it's defective. I thought it only does that under an enormous amount of stress from the mom. See, learn something new every day lol.

Yeah, I'm patient with lots of things and impatient with others. It's really bad if I'm just cranky to begin with, because then I have no patience whatsoever. Like one time a couple weeks ago, I felt like everything had to happen in a snap otherwise I'd snap myself. In my head, I was screaming "Just GO already!!" with just about everything. I really don't like feeling THAT impatient. -.-" Luckily, it almost never gets that extreme. It just frustrates me when it takes several days to put new items on tektek. Like the Azrael's box...I was waiting for days for them to put the frigid and raging night jewels on there and was getting sooo impatient. That's why I'd rather them update tektek in batches rather than all in one batch. That way we're not ALL kept waiting and people can still work with whatever's already updated.

Yeah, we'll both definitely have to work to get to where we want to be, but it'll all be worth it in the end. ^^
