The miracle of marathons
Posted by Amber on May 30th, 2009
Filed under: General


TV wise this week has been awesome. First, on Monday Boomerang was having a Teen Titans marathon, so I spent quite literally all day and most of night watching that. Plus I found out that Boomerang has Teen Titans episodes on every now and then, so I set the DVR to record all of them. I was a bit disappointed that the Raven episodes weren’t gotten to, only Birthmark. It’s a good episode, but only the beginning of the awesomeness of Raven.

It’s been a nice day, and not just the weather
Posted by Amber on May 21st, 2009
Filed under: General


Break has been boring thus far, obviously. But today was unusually nice. The weather was the first thing. It was significantly cooler, I don’t think it even hit 90 after so many days over 100, and it was cloudy and windy. My grandma was taking my baby cousin to some story time thing at the library, so I went with them and then looked around for some books. I ended up getting 5- Memoirs of a Geisha, Great Expectations, The Inferno, For Whom the Bell Tools and a collection of short stories by Poe. Right now I’m reading Memoirs and got to chapter 4. It’s actually pretty interesting. But since I ended up having time to spare I went into the teen section to see if they had any good books. Nothing I wanted to read, but I did find the January issue of Shojo Beat, so I looked through it a bit, read a few pages of each of the manga chapters in it (mostly the VK chapter) and then put it back. Then I also found an issue of Shonen Jump and read the One Piece chapter and a bit of the Yu-Gi-Oh GX chapter. Then they were finally done and we got a drink at Sonic and went home, even though I said it was nice out and we should go to the park, since the nice park was right next to the library. We ended up going like an hour later because some lady and her daughter who my grandma met at the park by the house and my cousin liked to play with were there, so we drove back. They watched them play and I just sat and read and enjoyed the very nice weather. And then we eventually left a couple hours later. My brother was a complete jerk to his dog like he always is because she chewed up some of his cases for his Wii games. And then much later, like an hour or so ago, because my brother told me that my dad thought the last kitten we caught, which I named Yuuki, was dead because we never saw her come out from under the bed. So to prove her wrong my grandma, my cousin and I went over there, since nobody was home, and got her out. She’s not dead, but I’m wondering what the deal is. I haven’t seen her eat, so I had my cousin hold her while I went and got some food and put her in the bathroom with it, along with the other kittens that came out. Went in five minutes later to look and she was hiding behind the toilet, so I’m not sure if she’s eaten anything since she’s been inside. She’s not thin a all though. So o prove she wasn’t dead we took my dad’s phone, which he left there to charge, took a picture of her and put it as his wallpaper.

I love DirectTV

I really do love it. Before I didn’t have any cable installed in my room. But since Qwest was going out of business or being bought out or something like that they switched to Direct TV. And I love it. I also love how my grandparents were kind enough to give me the one of the two DVR’s that come with it. And that my grandma, before I even came home, set it to record all episodes of ATLA that come on. And yes, since Nicktoons is one of the channels they get, it’s on all the time it seems. So I’ve been watching old episodes of it because it’s been awhile since I’ve seen pretty much all of them. And I also set it to record episodes of FMA that come on, even though I have them all on DVD.

3:06

As of 3:06 today, Thursday, May 14 2008, I have officially finished my first year of college!! I don’t know what I’m more happy about, the fact that I don’t have any more classes and can go home for the summer, or the fact that I actually managed to complete something that so many people can’t. It wasn’t an easy week. I was so bored Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, even with studying. And then today, it all began. Or ended. The beginning of the end. Or was it the end of the beginning? Ohhhh.

Only a few more days
Posted by Amber on May 12th, 2009
Filed under: General


I don’t know how much more I can take. Technically I’ve gotten through two days now, only one more until I have my last finals, and by this time on Friday I’ll be home. I actually need to start studying, and I will. Eventually. I kind of got distracted yesterday, since I spent all day watching Lucky Star, and finished it today. It was a good anime, and I think it was a good choice. There really was no plot whatsoever to it, since it’s slice of life, but after watching Air a random comedy was good. Konata=hilarious. She acts like a perverted old man, although that would be because that’s exactly what her dad is. Air was sad though, I teared up quite a bit towards the end. If you don’t want to watch all of it (although it’s only thirteen episodes, so if you don’t you’re just lazy) then just watch episode thirteen. For some reason they end it at episode twelve and then the last episode was just a recap of the entire series.

Whoa, whoa…whoa. What?
Posted by Amber on May 7th, 2009

Alright, I’m confused. I just looked to see if my grade for my last bio test was posted yet, since I hadn’t checked yet and it’s been a week. I got in 84 on it. AN 84?!?!? How is that possible? That’s higher than both my other two test grades. I didn’t do any studying. I looked over my notes for like an hour before I had to get going to class. I don’t remember anything he said in class. Yet I still got a B. I guess it was more I didn’t consciously remember anything then, because apparently the knowledge stuck in my head somehow. I thought I was guessing on most of the answers too. So my B in biology is safe for now. And since I have three weekdays between that final and my one before it I should be able to keep my B. That would be so awesome.

I don’t think I have much more to say other than that. Have to study for my chem final tomorrow. Yay for dead day, kind of. It’s going to be hard, it’s a national test all general chemistry students take, and the national average is around 50%.

All that is left are finals
Posted by Amber on May 5th, 2009
Filed under: School


As of now, actually as of a couple hours ago, I have pretty much finished my first year of college. With the completion of my chem test I have nothing but finals left. And the chem test was a lot easier than I actually thought it was going to be. I got through the multiple choice and the first three long answers pretty quickly. And today in class this lady who is some type of teacher who sits in on the class brought tons of cookies for the class, which was cool. I took one at the very end, and I should have taken more. I don’t know if it was just because I haven’t had a cookie in awhile, but it was really good. And then biology I kind of just blanked out, he was talking about climate or something like that. And then I stayed for the last part, even though he said it wasn’t going to be on the test. I just completely blanked out, I was randomly playing songs through my head. All I remember from that second half was something about clouds. It’s a good thing I did stay, and I think it’s the reason most people stayed until the very end. Since we hadn’t had a little bonus quiz for this third of the semester he decided to have it the last five minutes of class. I’m pretty sure I had the answer right, truth be I was still in zone out mode and wasn’t sure if I heard the question right. And then to start off the day, which I guess I should have put before everything else, I got my math test back. It wasn’t as well as I wanted. Like it ever would be. However, the score was higher than other scores I’ve gotten. I was smart to try and work all of them out, I got a couple points on pretty much all of them just for having the first couple steps right, or for showing that I knew the formula.

er…

I kind of half want to cry sort of right now but not really. This is not going to be a good week. It starts on Tuesday evening, with my final regular chem test, of which I know very little of. I’ve been trying to study and do the homework that pertains to it, and it isn’t working to well. Cursed stoichiometry, I can do the very basic problems, but since I’m having major issues with the homework I apparently can’t do much more than that. Oh, and figuring out which element(s) are oxidized and which are reduced in a reaction. I guess I’m going to have to read up in the book for that. Then I have my mythology final Wednesday, although I’m not too worried. I probably should study a bit though, it’s really an easy A to help boost by GPA (which severely needs a boost) and it would be stupid to get a B because I didn’t bother to at least look over the material. Then dead day is Thursday, no classes or finals. And then, chem final Friday. From 8-10 at night. All the way on the other side of the campus. As I’ve mentioned before I believe. Not looking forward to that. Then what is pretty much five days rest (with the exception of studying) and my last two finals in two Thursdays. Then I’m done, at least here, for the summer.
