I even like the rural Hicksville museums, because the ones here are usually in old houses, and have really cool knicknacks, like a room full of dresses from 1890 and before.
And I want to go to the Musee des Beaux Arts de Montreal SOON, because the have like 150 artifacts from the British Museums' (teh BIG one) Egypt exhibit. So I'm drooling to go.

It's really funny, if we're going to talk about my grades. I am the biggest slacker, the ultimate lazy person, and I will not try. Especially if there is a course I don't like. In grade 7 and 8, my grades were in the 70s. I never got on the honour roll. But all of that was influenced by that fact I had loads of trouble understanding mathematical/scientific concepts. I still don't know Newton's laws and how they work. I still have trouble with factoring and fractions.
But in grade 9, I decided I'd get off to a good start, and got some really good grades. In the 80s, even in Geo (Biggest slacker class ever. You could never hand anything in and you'd get a 67.) So of course, all the praise made me feel nice. So now I try harder, to at least hand in some good work.
And because I'm the biggest history geek around (I really DO enjoy museums. 60s exposition! woot!) I feel the need of proving it. Especially since we just discussed the Titanic, which was my historical obsession for three straight years. People were telling me to shut up as I corrected the teacher once or twice...

I saw Janis Joplin's car at a museum once. That was awesome.

Damn. I have to go catch my bus now. Stupid buses and school, start at 7:50 am, so I have to catch my bus at 6:50...not that I mind getting up early much. Usuallyl

stressed Stupid gaia!

Anyway, 6:50!? I think getting up at 8 is too early! gonk

Oh, speaking of results, I got the third highest results of my year in my Junior Cert. That's a big test we take in our third year of secondary School. And, I was the only boy in the top 3, so that means I pwn all the others boys in my year! xd

I just got up at 1... pm of course. I'm not a morning person so I like to skip it and go straight into the afternoon xd

I went to the Toronto Museum to see the Egyptian display that came from the British Museum... that was pretty cool. I could read like half the book of the dead. I don't speak ancient EGyptian though so I don't know what it meant but still!

I would have done so much better in school if I had handed my assignments in on time. I just love to procrastinate! Then it'd be late so I'd be like, hell it's late why not put it off some more! Then it just never got handed in.

My internal body clock is now set for 6am. So for much of the summer holidays, I get up at 7:30 or earlier.

I have a tendency to do the same thing.

Or I just fall behind because I miss so much school ^__^;;

I had a History test this morning that I think I did okay on, despite the fact I missed 4 history classes last week. But I remembered most of the stuff from grade eight...

So I probably got somewhere in the 80s or high 70s...which is pretty crappy for me in History, since I normally remember all the information.

Ah well, I have an excuse if I do badly xd

I do the same thing. 3nodding

Feel free to skip this. I would. I just need to rant.
[rant] I swear. If he talks to me one more time, I am going to kill my father. Whenever he sees me doing anything even slightly enjoyable, he yells at me and tells me to look at more scholarship stuff. That's why I stay up so late. I can only do fun things(Gaia, video games, TV, etc.) when he's asleep. Today is a snow day, which he sees as "all day college stuff" day. We just had a screaming match when I tried to get on Gaia after making a bunch of phone calls that he told me to make. He finally decided to be "nice" and give me one hour. For the entire day. Then no more fun at all.

I get in trouble if he sees me on the computer, watching TV, reading, playing video games, or even just having a conversation with my mom. b*****d... [/rant]

...Of course we get a snow day on what would have been a half day anyway. xp

Geez Nienna, your dad sounds sorta like mine. He keeps telling me to apply to more colleges, because I should "Open all the doors" for myself/my future. Mlarg.
Thing is, I don't care. I really don't. I like the college I picked, and if I don't get accepted, I could care less. I'll just keep trying.

I finished my movie poster. I didn't think it would take me almost a full week to finish it... I'll post pictures later. =)

I've already been accepted to a really good school. He's bugging me about finding more scholarships because he doesn't want to pay for it himself. stare I've applied to 6 different schools. xp

Cool, Alfirin! Can't wait to see the pics! biggrin

I get uo at 6:50 am on schooldays and at 2 pm on weekends and days off xd
Today, my best friend was bugging me and trying to steal my PDA so I picked up my deoderant from my locker and sprayed him for about 3 straight minutes till I got bored and put it down. While he was walking through the halls everyone smells and looks at him in a weird day. Some people actually coughed xd Shows him to mess with me stare

The actual poster (is not that dark, but flash completely bleached it):

And the detail shots:

Took me between 7-10 hours to complete. Loads of Ocre Jaune, Warm Yellow, Rouge Brillant, China White, Brown and 3/4th of my tube of black. Poor black.
