[Calamitous Judgment]
I haven't updated in like three weeks so I decided I should. I guess the main reason I haven't updated (and probably the reason I haven't gotten any sleep lately or talked to any of my friends) is because I bought World of Warcraft. Blizzard's first attempt at an MMORPG, and mainly based on the world of Warcraft III [no pun intended]. It has absorbed most of my free time, and when I'm not at school or work, I play WoW. I think it's safe to say I'm addicted.
In other news, Steph has found a new guy that she really likes, which is way awesome. She's so happy lately. Wheee.
So friday my calculus teacher assigned a portfolio of all the work we did in semester 1 this year. It was 24 problems, then summaries of how to do the problems, then summaries of the section of material with general examples and references to the problems we chose for the section of the portfolio. So I figured since she assigned it friday it would be at least a week before she wanted it handed in. WRONG. About 4.9 seconds after she announced the portfolio, I got the paper that listed the due dates. It was due wednesday (sort of yesterday since it's thursday now), but she said it would be accepted until 5pm tonight. PHEW.
So this weekend was FIRST kickoff. The game is weird, but I think we're gonna do pretty well. I'm not gonna tell y'all anything about the robot or our strategy because I know there are other FIRSTers that read this blog... :P
So all weekend I was gone to FIRST stuff and I didn't work on my portfolio at all. Then monday night I started and since then I've worked on it for at least 3 hours a day...I probably put in about 16 hours total. Ugh, I hate calculus now. Sigh. But, I'm finished. I wrapped it up at about 5 tonight. Today was an early release, so I got out of school at 12:30 and came home to work on it. I skipped out on work for the day to do my schoolwork. That's dedication for you. All I can say is that I better get a good grade on it because that's probably the best work I've done in that class...maybe any class in high school. If I don't get a decent grade on it, I'll probably cry.
