To think that swim gym couldn't get worse... it does. On Thursday, we started going underwater to retrieve rings. It's no surprise I didn't even manage to get one >.> Swimming just isn't my forte and so, not realizing it was time to get out, I ended up being on of the last ones to make it to the locker. I didn't have time to put on my flip flops and was just speed walking barefoot, slipping although managing my balance a couple of times (*ahem*warning signs but I was stupid to have ignored). Right outside the girl's locker room, the water finally got me. I slipped and fell backwards and in those few seconds, I've injured my lower back, sides and some of my gluteus as well. I suffered throughout these past two days with terrible aches and pains and I started getting stomach aches as well.

The night of the incidence was probably one of the worse in my life. I had English Gods and Goddess project due the next day (having procrastinated for weeks on end) along with the usual long Global homework, Spanish project (who knew drawing monsters were so hard?!), and a few other things. I spent four hours on English and only managed to finish the analytic piece, giving up with starting the creative part. I gave up on math since I didn't get most of it and global, I had to copy... Throughout all the work, I started panicking, stressing, and all those other terrible feelings one may feel when they're in deep shit. Not only was I mentally affected, but physically as well; trying to cope with the side pain and then I started getting the damn stomach aches that are probably caused by indigestion and constipation (I had suspicions that these cases are associated with my injury...when I fell, it is likely my digestive system got all messed up). I seriously broke down that night because the stomach aches were like the worse cramps ever, without of few moments of relief. I couldn't get rid of it unless I took a crap, which I couldn't (tried like two times, sitting on the toilet for about 30 minutes each...with no results and still). In the end, my grandma just gave me some Chinese medicine that caused me to constantly burp as I went to sleep.

I've been having problems with my monitor lately. This is but the present display of technology's grudge through a half-decade history. I'm quite certain that the problems persists because it's old and so it's components are wearing out but I just can't understand WHY NOW?! I've got a Spanish project draft due (typed), research and compile 1-2 pages of notes for a "sub-topic" of Ancient Greek inventions/achievements for English, some sort of analysis on the Goddess Artemis for english (typed), and a DDP Powerpoint due... Now with a screen that blacks out constantly every few seconds, I can't get anything done.

This condemns me to the last resort of using the big, bulky, antique monitor originally bundled with the Windows 98 computer my dad happened to pick up. Now the depth of my desk where it's to be held, is not even two feet and so the screen takes up all the depth space, leaving no room for my keyboard which is currently hanging over the edge. Then there's the problem with having my face too close to the screen and I can't do anything about it since my chair only has barely enough room to maneuver in with the sofa behind and all.

I'm desperate, anyone have an extra monitor they're willing to lend?

There's not much to write about since it's not at all that exciting. The clutter of projects and homework that was assigned prior to the break has ruined my expectations for a relaxing vacation. I have two group projects due for English and I still don't get shit about what we need to do... another for DDP but it's going to turn out like bullshit because my partner and I have clashing personas when it comes to academic work. Then there's the usual long global, boring biology, and the long boring bio lab. I woke up at 2 today, sleeping later than 2 at night so if this habit keeps up, instigating procrastination, the results is a screwed me [seem like dejavu? Well it's not; it's just that I never learn...]

My plans for break were catching up in anime I'ven't (lmao, double contraction---oh the laziness) touched in weeks; maybe months. Then I gotta extract new PNGs for my archive which I haven't done so in months. There's the collaboration, the makeover for my Obscure which had been postponed for months... Posting on recent forums, daily... Ugh, so much to do in so little time.

Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day to those lovers out there (although I believe everyday should be Valentine's Day for you because it's illogical to make just one day special for your lover) and Happy SAD (Single's Awareness Day) to the singles.

Ugh! I thought my day was going along contently as usual but it turned worse. I took my Spanish finals today and although there were 70 multiple choice questions to be done in an hour, I managed to complete it 2/3 of the time and spent the last few minutes checking. I think I did okay and probably passed since the questions were really basic and not too complicated, although I must admit, some did stump me. I also took my gym "final". He'd given us a sheet in advance and half of the stuff on the test wasn't even on the study sheet. The study sheet covered the fundamentals of volleyball but never in my life, had I found true/false questions so demanding... I probably failed but I don't mind for some reason...

Things started turning worse after that. I went to English and found I have lost or been robbed of my water bottle =-=" so I had to suffer dehydration for the rest of the day (it was right after gym too). Our board was not finished since none of our writing pieces were glued on. We didn't haven't scissors to cut the paper margins either so we turned to ripping and pasting them all over the place. Our analysis was supposed to be pasted onto a calender scroll but we couldn't find it so we had to improvise and just stuck extra colored paper we had and glue the pieces of ripped up analysis pieces to it... (the calender was later found in M's locker ~.~) I could've sworn that the whole time we were gluing and ripping and trying to make it look nice, Wasserstein kept talking and explaining (maybe to an extent that he was actually trying to give us some time?). Anyway, we were missing pieces such as the Progress Log (I forgot to type it the previous day so I had to rewrite it neatly quickly...) and draft along with notes. After we were done, we had to review other projects and my group was just so confused because we weren't listening. We managed somehow but the period left me upset and tired.

I go to biology to find that my class is potentially in danger of loosing points because Weber lost a copy of the final test packet. It was so weird and awkward because the order in which we got the numbered papers messed up at the numbered packet that was missing. The person who was supposed to get #11 had #32 so we don't know... Hopefully, it'd turn up and anyhow, I don't think he would take points off because he's nice. I could tell he was mad though...

*mumble* *mumble*... *low shout*son of a bitch*low shout* *talk about bartending*

V, M, R, Dr and I had to work on a group project. We had to write a shared analysis on the last chapter of Siddhartha, produce a creative piece (each), and have draft and progress log, all attached to a board. Then we had to have all the writing on a separate portfolio... Ugh. So we finally decided to start working on it since it's due tomorrow. I arrived at R's house at like 2:00. The rest couldn't show up due to sickness, celebration, and other mysterious occurrences.

R's mom left fruit and purple blue chips for us when her parents went out. R and I started making the outside of the board (now that I think about it, there wasn't really a point since it was totally our own idea and we just gave ourselves more work; all for the sake of earning points for creativity!) Then we had a really long break. We listened to each others' music and look at some of P's Facebook pictures (:P who knew P, Dn, and B hung out together?!) After all this, I freeloaded food off R (whole grains bread---there's like, everything in there, tea---the tea ball is awesome o_o, and milk :P) We just finished the optional outside when her parents came home.

We started the inside. We made a tree collage :P We laminated it. There was a shortage of the same shade of blue construction paper. We ended up making a fucked up mosaic of different shaded, large squared, construction paper (my cousins' paper cutter comes in good use at times like these)---half of which, I didn't notice until it was almost time for me to go home so I had to hurry. We laminated Brahman too.
Spray Glue Pros & Cons
Cons Pros

• It's quick.
• It's cool.

Pros Cons

• It stinks.
• It sprays everywhere.
• It's not as sticky as it should be.

Conclusion: Don't bother with Spray Glue.

In the end, I had to go home. We didn't finish much...only like 1/2 the board. I bet no one in our group even started their creative piece (I probably won't finish mine either.... Our class meetings didn't consist enough of group discussion so the share analysis couldn't be done. We are screwed.

My finals are coming up. I didn't start studying at all. My global and biology finals are on Wednesday. Those are the subjects I suck at most and need to study the most---FYI; I am screwed.

P.S. R, the third eye on Brahman, needs the whites behind the pupil. Try white-out? O.o

Yes, I know I'm blogging when I should be finishing my spanish and math homework, write the draft essay for my biology final, and finish the english shit. I tend to do this a lot---especially when I'm too lazy to bother or too anxious from worry.

Edit: Lol, Thanks Janie, for pointing out my Pros and Cons error :3

I got pegged in the stomach with a volleyball today. It hurt like shit. I actually heard the hydrochloric acid in my stomach make a swishing sound (I'm hungry and theres nothing in there but liquid).

I think phys. ed. is very funny for some reason. I laugh every time someone hits the ball. That volleyball must've somehow hurt my head and deleted some brain cells along with bruising my stomach.

I should be doing my spanish project given a few weeks months ago and I wait till last minute. *sigh* Looks like another all nighter and I'm not gonna be able to go on the computer over the weekend because I'm taking all of my brother's computer time.

I was mad piss yesterday. I found out that my DDP-PLTW blackboard site got deleted due to inactivity for 30 days. I think I should've at least gotten a notice. I'm sure they sent it, just never got it. This happened before with my other school/educational site Common Concept (collective of school-related sites concerning projects and such) and it made me want to drown in tears. I worked really hard on the layouts and such; made it all from scratch without photoshop coding and designing. I think I got over it. Luckly, I was smart to back-up the whole DDP site ahead of time so I just had to reupload 100 mb of shit.

I spent a lot of time helping P make a Hate Mikhail and probably some school related purpose forum. It'll be open sooner or later: Here (P wanted me to remove it). Still in progress stages.

I though I had more to write today but I can't remember. I'll edit this when it comes back.

I had to buy the newspaper for my grandpa today. When I arrived on the avenue where the deli was, there were crowds of people gathered across the street from the store. There were like five firetrucks and a dozen police cars that blocked the side where I had to go. The fire took place on two floors of the apartment on top of the store next to the deli. The fire had been put out but one can see where it burned since the window borders were blackened and all. Since I couldn't buy the newspaper there, I had to walk a few more streets to this other deli that sold the Chinese newspaper my grandpa wanted. They were sold out so I went home and my grandpa ambushed me at the door, telling me to go to this pharmacy that was another avenue and few blocks away.

I never thought buying one newspaper would require so much walking and that a lot of stores didn't sell the Sing Tao newspaper... what a crappy morning.

I need to start my math homeworks and finish the project... I'mma probably try my best to finish the other annoyances (bio homework and spanish project) today...if I don't get distracted and procrastinate again ;_;

Oh. I'm dead; once again. I gotta finish my part of the global project and I haven't started. My time on the computer is limited to 2 hours today because I went on almost all day this oh so short vacation. My group is gonna kill me :[ I don't understand why I can never finish all my school work and have at least one free day, that's impossible for me.

I've been extracting PNGs lately, since I'm behind in updating my PNG archive. My goal is to have at least 30 done by Christmas :3 Anyone wanna contribute/suggest images I can extract? Preferably on a large scale (scans can be found at sites like Minitokyo). Please provide the link.

I also want to make a layout for this blog. I just need to figure out the classic template coding when I have the time...

DDP is really getting on my nerves. Not only did I fail the midterm so badly because I got confused about how they worded the damn question, but today, we once again see how much of an ass M***** (the annoying and probably most disliked person in the cluster---names shall not be mentioned) is. Because of this guy's irresponsibility, we are no longer allowed any freedom of speech with our peers or to walk around during our class work to aid others, unless given permission by our teacher. And it's because a certain someone *cough*fcktard*cough* misplaced his notebook. There is a possibility that someone took it as a joke and so the teacher got angry (since I'm pretty sure, she noticed, no one really like M*****, but that didn't mean we should pick on him) and threatened to call the dean if it were not found. The notebook was later discovered on the table in front of ours but no one knew who actually took it. I guess it was originally there; either the culprit placed it there unnoticed, or maybe, M*****, who always walks around asking for help all the time, left it there. Either way, he was careless for not taking care of his belongings. Since this incidence, our DDP instructor took away our freedom and if I were to perhaps, utter a word; I will receive a 5 point deduction.

I also have a DDP project due and I feel bad that my partner is doing most of the work while I laze around reading yaoi on the computer...I should really get started but procrastination is a habit that's hard to break.

Biology class is interesting, despite not understanding most of the things. Today, we learned how to make beer :O It was mentioned that a glass of wine is good for you because it is an anti-oxidant so it was concluded that biology teaches us that: Alcohol is good and Oxygen is bad.
