Yesterday was my first class -- Algebra 1. Yay for going back to 7th grade! But I think it's the right choice (as opposed to going into Algebra 2, which I tested into about a year ago). It's going back to a time when I actually understood what I was being taught... When it still made sense. And since I -don't- really remember a lot of this stuff, ( Read more... )

School starts next Tuesday! How did time pass so fast? I'm not ready to go back to school yet! *sobs*

I got a call today from my credit union... Somebody in Florida tried to make a $1,000+ transaction on my card. (A Visa. And I so don't have that much money. If I did, I'd be a lot less stressed). So I had to cancel it, an' stuff. And of course I don't have time today to go in and request a new card, so I'll have to do it first thing tomorrow, and ( Read more... )

I just beat my personal record best at (expert-level) Minesweeper! So then I went back and beat my best on the other levels, too.

My scores now stand:
Beginner (10 mines): 7 seconds
Intermediate (40 mines): 36 seconds
Expert (99 mines): 98 seconds

BOOYA.

My internet isn't working properly, and it's really really frustrating. I can connect to IMs -- usually -- but webpages won't load. Except for about the two hours they did last night, slow going though it was ( Read more... )

I watched Stargate (the original) last night, and it was very awesome. One very disturbing thing, though: my middle school science teacher, whom I hated, was the head guard of the bad guy. You know, the one who says "I'll take care of it" and then gets his ass kicked by the military dude at the end. As I said to Tear when I called him afterwards ( Read more... )

So, I went to maybe change around my color scheme a little, and... whatnow? What the hell happened to that nice, convenient, little thing where you just had a list of every part of your journal that you could change the color of, and a spot where you could enter in the color for each one? Now you can upload your own CSS, which is great if you know ( Read more... )

My mom was telling me last night about an article she glanced over, about a study done where they showed mother pictures of a baby smiling or crying, and monitored their brain's response. What they found was that their brains "lit up like Christmas trees" -- became absolutely flooded with endorphins -- when they saw a baby smiling. On the other ( Read more... )

Ink is so pretty and, like, useful and stuff... I kinda want to drink it. But that would be unhealthy. :-/

Well, it wasn't the job I thought. It was for a fuckin' sales position. Oh well. Got two hours of sleep (my cat was so happy to have me back, she wouldn't let me sleep. Plus nerves), dressed up nicely (in clothes I rushed out and spent a good deal of energy and my parent's money buying on Friday, no less), and used up a bunch of gas to get to an ( Read more... )
