May 25, 2017: Presentations

I guess to sum everything up that just happened, I had to deal with doing a presentation in English class. This so called, personal creed or whatever. I suppose it was a fun thing to do, but at the same time it wasn't. I think the not so fun part of this would be dealing with having to write out the drafts (and I know for myself how much I didn't put effort in those or ended up doing those last minute). The presentation itself wasn't too bad though; well I guess all I had to do was press a simple "play" button anyways. Video editing? Don't even get me started; that was absolutely hell. It took me hours and hours and all I ended up was with a nearly 9 minute clip. Gets me real salty, you know?

Building up to when I ended up having to do the presentation, I actually had to also draw out some little drawings and also had to plan out a script on what I would say. Recording that also took many, many hours. Too many for what the product ended up being. I did a background of black and put a slideshow of anime pictures, with a few memes, over that background. (I didn't want to accidentally have a white screen leak through, so that's why I added a black BG, I don't think it even showed up in the end because everything was in, erm, 16:9 anyways.

Going away from that topic, there's nearly five or six projects due within the next few weeks. Absolutely tragic. I was thinking I could actually not do much and sit around, but nope- here comes a project in history and here comes a few from English. *shrug* I guess doing the draft for the independent reading is going to be hell, since the book just arrived a few days ago and I still haven't started. That creed took too long, seriously, oh my god. I guess that's not going to be too good for me, especially since it's due tomorrow. I wonder if my "coping box" from last year will save me.

Math, well, I will assume that test or quiz was tragic and will drag my grade to a D+, meaning I will be forced to do better, or suffer not so good consequences.

Going away from the troubles of school, I keep saying that I'll catch up with anime but I still haven't done so. I guess there's a few shows I'm actually watching, especially this one similar to Sword Art Online but made by a Chinese company (Mandarin so... yep) and I'd say it's pretty good so far. I'm looking forward to watching more episodes perhaps today.

I'll go now then, lunch then chem next.

March 16, 2017: Worktime

So, I'm supposed to be working on my classwork and homework in English. You can assume I'm absolutely lazy and not doing it right now. I was considering actually doing work but the temptation of not doing anything was simply too strong for me to resist, so here I am. Perhaps I would have better things to do than to type out meaningless paragraphs of filler paragraphs and stuff about school life or games, but this was the first thing I thought of doing with the resources that I have nearby.

It's seriously been a long while since I last posted anything here, for all the ghosts that are around--- sorry. I would've loved to post more but I had other stuff to do. More like, trying to grind for Love Live! School idol festival or playing cringe games such as osu! and Aura Kingdom. I'm not sure if I mentioned about Aura Kingdom in the past, but I joined that game due to a friend. My PC started dying and I lost motivation for it so I've pretty much left from that game. I suppose I could play more since I have invested some money into it.

If we talk about spending money on a game, none of this would beat the amount I've spent on LLSIF. That amount has been super high, perhaps almost reaching the 700 or 800 dollar mark now. I'm excited for the Honoka solo box, which should be here in a few months. I spent around $48.85 just a few days ago so I could buy the three 10+1 scouts for 30, 40, and 50 gems. I'd say I was pretty satisfied with the results, which left me with around 5 of the same Umi SSR. (Makes sense, since the only set for Umi would be initial set.) I got it 6 slotted and got rid of two to use on other SSR.

As for other stuff, I guess the period will end in roughly thirty minutes now. I made some sort of progress on the Vocabulary for Achievement homework. I actually ended up procrastinating up on last week's VfA assignment; I did around 1/4 of it. We have so many assignments coming up lately, essays, worksheets, reading and bookwork--- it's gotten really tiring.

If I remember correctly, the Honoka event starts later tonight, so that won't be fun. I still haven't cleared some of the E/N/H songs yet and they'll expire. I think it's almost time I leave. Oh, and it's that time of year again--- time for Internexus. It's going to be held at American this year, instead of Washington. I would really have it would turn out better than in the past, which was really a mixed bag, but I have a feeling it won't. In any case, perhaps I'll be able to take a role in the club next year.

Course selections were just seriously annoying to do, but at least I got signed off for Chinese 4. I was going to consider French 4 but I'm already barely passing with a C, so I don't think it would be a good idea to go further on. It's sad there isn't any sort of AP Chinese/Mandarin course. AP Psychology probably won't be too fun, but we'll see about that. Maybe it'll be better than I thought it would be. 11:50 AM, we're almost there.

Let's see, I have to go to my junior high, Thornton, later today with some friends. We plan on advertising for Internexus in addition to maybe getting some food, or T4, or something. Odds are that we will leave at 2:40 PM, and get there and be done by 3:10. Then from 3:10 to 5 PM we would have a big chunk to do whatever. I hope this time would be used wisely. Maybe we'll get some pizza for the librarian. We'll see. I'm a bit excited I suppose.

So, JP LLSIF started their 4th anniversary rewards. They have a bunch of actually valuable rewards this time, so I'm really looking forward to using it all up. I think there's roughly ten minutes left so I'll try to make the most of this. Back on topic, LLSIF is going to go crazy soon, cause the events they've announced have been really amazing and cool. If we, EN, get this someday that would be really superb. I guess I'm somewhat running out of G, so that would be good to get more of.  In addition, I need to max level the SSR Umi, which is just barely at 71 or 72. I need a 90 for her "full" potential.

You know what, I'm going to leave now.
