Absent From Blog

My brain has been at work more during the last two full school days than it probably has this summer, besides having to concentrate and read the required summer reading books over the summer. Already a muscle in the side of my right hand is achy from having a lead pencil held in it all day, and the hardening of skin and the pain of these lumps on the very bottom of my thumb and on my ring finger. This pain is probably because I hold the pencil so damn tight because I write so tiny, but what can one do about changing his own handwriting, which may I add stinks. I didn't realize over the summer how horrible my handwriting is. Thankfully you can make out almost every word I write, but you need a microscope or very thick reading glasses to see them. The funny thing is that I can fit about 12-16 words a line in your average sized tablet. Mostly to me it always seemed that men write big and women write small, but I guess everybody is different. Craig always comments on my handwriting stating that he thinks it's awesome how I never write on the lines in a tablet, but in between the lines. He always told me that last year when I'd be doing homework at his house or at another person's house like Carol's, but he reminded me about it when we were doing the English homework together last night.

Don't mind me if I'm just rambling on and making no worthwhile points at all, but I'm just trying to get some writing practice down for school and what's a better place that your own personal blog that you share with two other friends? I would go and type up my schedule on here to display to you, but I'm not going to. Is it because of my laziness? In this case seneiro, no. Caitlin already did the job for me of typing up my schedule in her previous post. Even though she typed up her schedule, we share the same exact schedule, class after class. The only difference is that she has a study hall on one day I have gym and vice versa. I think that was great because every year since I started recording this information last school year, I had a class with about one person for every class. Last year it was Dan. Just like how Caitlin and I have that study hall/gym switch, Dan and I had different music classes, but at the same time. He had band whereas I had music, but the rooms were right next to each other so we viewed it as being practically the same class. Funny thing now is that Dan isn't in one single class at all with me this year. Actually it's not that funny, it's rather depressing. Gorman, Craig, Corey, and the usual bunch of billygoats aren't in more than three of my classes, and for Gorman and Craig, one of those classes is actually a study hall. Thankfully Corey and I had a class together this year, because we didn't see each other in a classroom since 6th grade and that's if you exclude homeroom in the past three years. Now being in 10th grade, four years later, we have Advanced Biology together.

Being the second day of school, I have already walked in and experienced all of the classes that I have for the 10th grade school year, already doing three homework assignments and a worksheet. Hopefully very breifly, I'll do a little outline of my classes, my thoughts on them, my feelings on them, and comments on the teachers teaching them -- no names given. Also the classes will go in order of when I have them.

• Advanced World Cultures. This class is going to be rather interesting I must say. The teacher is extremely funny and talks about the most random things. I actually set him as my 'randomness idol' because I tend to say some very unusual random things to individuals, but this guy just goes top notch. Current discussions so far: Las Vegas, pork roast, strip clubs/gentlemen clubs, food, Las Vegas shows, Las Vegas sporting events, and the whatnot -- I forgot the rest. In other classes he mentioned that his wife put a quarter in a slot machine and won around $300+ bucks and was yelling at her because she could've won a couple thousand if she put more quarters in so he gave her a good beating. Many sources told me about this and even sources who aren't friends with my other sources, so I stamp this as being true, and very odd to say to a classroom. We have yet to even open our textbooks, which may be a good thing, but the whole class for two days he talked about random topics that came out of nowhere. "Carol, what did you have for supper last night?" "Rice." "Rice, of course. I hate rice! I mean, it just gets all over the place. You might clean up a little bit of rice here but then later on you'll find some more. You can never just get rid of it!" Only problem: Our teacher, my 'randomness idol', is retiring and moving away either this October or November. And I'll give you a few guesses to where he's moving. His new home -- Las Vegas baby. I'm going to hate this event, and then most likely the teacher who waddles in after his leave.
  
• Computers III. I must say that this might be the most easy-going class I might have all year. Besides the stress I might get every once in a while of not finishing a set assignment/project to complete that day and print out, this class should calm my nerves and move me along with the rest of my day. Oh yes, and another problem. Sticky keys -- that beeping gives me a headache. And of course, they also block this very blog from being viewed in the school. I mean, what the hell is on this site. I don't see any porn, disgusting material, video games to play, etc. I guess they're just either blocking blogs or any site that has the word 'video game' on it. Very good class here.
• Spanish 2. Many people took French as an elective back in 8th grade when we chose our classes because they heard that the Spanish teacher was mean hearted, cruel, teaches badly, has hard tests, etc. We never had our current Spanish teacher last year because a new Spanish teacher came into our school and taught Spanish 1 and other Spanish courses. However that described "mean" Spanish teacher we have this year for Spanish 2, but is she really mean, cruel, and 'evil'? No, no, and must I say it again, no. So far, our Spanish 2 teacher is extremely nice, cracking a few jokes, and gets distracted enough to give us pretty interesting speeches that sort of cover life. We haven't received any textbook or work in her class thusfar -- she just spoke to us. It sort of scares me though when she walks into the room late everyday and starts saying everything in Spanish, to see what we might be expected from in the course of this school year.
• SAT Prep/SAT Prep Math. Only having SAT Prep Math yesterdy for about five minutes because we had a program at the audotorium to go to with some 'celebrity' guy who walked across the United States seven times (therefore not really having the class that long to comment on it), I had the reading/writing SAT Prep today. The teacher for this class I too also heard bad things about, but she turned out to be just like your usual old yet energetic, nice woman always joking around. We have her in a very small classroom though that contains 24 desks, yet there's 32 students in the class at the one time. Luckily I got into a desk getting there on time, but a few people weren't so lucky, and had to resort to standing or sitting on the floor by the chalkboard. The teacher was cracking jokes about how the kids on the floor were sitting in mouse poop on mouse-infested floors. She is, however, trying to rearrange plans to have the class in a different and much larger room.
• Advanced English III. For English this year, we're having the same teacher that we had back in 8th grade, however in a different room. My former 7th grade English teacher got his old room last year when I was in 9th grade, and he was put into a very, very tiny classroom that was once a conference room. This year we're doing two big things in this class -- reading and writing a lot. We already got two homework assignments from him during out first two days of school, and we had a good ol' "At The Bell" today. If you don't know what these "At The Bell's" are, then please refer to January to March posts from 2006, it's in there somewhere. I don't mind writing (as you can see I already wrote a novel already in this single blog post), but I seem to always have a hard time writing when giving something assigned to write. I wish I had an English teacher that gave extra credit for having a blog online and updated regulary, as it requires writing. If that was the case, then expect Caitlin and I to keep this blog updated like crazy.
  
• Lunch. I'm adding this in here because I need to throw a rock at our school's lunch and yell, "Boo!" The school's lunch was never really special in the first place, but they go and raise the lunch price ten cents from last year to this year. I know, wow, a whole dime. Still, it's the fact that they're slowly raising the price of lunch when it's not even that great in the first place. And then here comes Pennsylvania with a whip in its hand saying, "Our schools in this state need to eat healthy dammit, so all of our kids someday can walk across America seven times." Now besides alternatives for lunch, we call them, oh, I forgot -- something like the healthy choice of the day. For example, tomorrow's healthy choice is tuna on spinach; mmm! That sounds so yummy that I might just give it to my dog as a treat. And now every grain product a la bread is now rye or wheat. Another "mmm!" from me and a bone to my dog. Even the fricking pizza crust is now rye or wheat! Sure, it did taste good last year when they had samples to give out, but our school can't do something good twice in a row. I mean, they took out the cheese on pasta days (Wednesday) because if you add too much you might get heart disease. I say, who the hell cares!? We're all going to die sooner or later, natural, by disease, on purpose/accident by another human being, etc. Now I'm mad...
• Advanced Algebra II. While doing my algebra homework before, I realized something funny to me. In 7th grade we had Pre Algebra. Then in 8th grade we had Advanced Algebra I. And then last year somebody threw a brick at us being Advanced Geometry. Where the hell did that come from? Like this year with biology -- we had Pre Chem last year, biology this year, and then AP Chem next year; what's with that loose brick in the wall? Anyways, good class here, and a very good and funny teacher. I always liked algebra more than geometry, so this class should be promising for the year.
• Safety Ed. This class is taught by my gym class, who is in fact a good man, I don't care what anybody says. We only covered so far what we're going to learn for the rest of the year, so therefore not much to discuss concerning this class.
• Advanced Biology. This class is my only block period class (meaning that we have the class for two periods one after the other). I like the teacher, very nice, calm, and tries to keep volcabulary definitions nice and simple, the way I like them...even though I write up paragraphs for each one. Not much I can really say about this class besides the fact that our textbook is actually a college book that they use during the freshman college year of the University of Scranton and even Penn State. Good class indeed. It will be hard and challenging, but good nonetheless.

Enough with school and the extremely long and boring text, let's go on to my "daily" things, including a whole new one to introduce. I say "daily" with quotations because I don't actually post daily, but I can't think of a better word to mean something you add every single time you do something (posting a blog entry). Anyhow, let's move on to our daily special "Comment That Keyword!" With the site's layout all patched up, the amount of keywords went back up just a little bit, which is good. I'll only comment one keyword a blog entry from now on however IF I do this special, as doing more than one takes up way too much time. Also expect blog entries from me from now on having very little text but just the daily specials, maybe turning them into actual daily events.

"how much are yew log worth on runescape"

I like this question very much because I normally buy yew logs a lot on Runescape to get my fletching up, making yew longbows and selling them 550 gp each. It appears that on members, yew logs go for about 250 gp a log. However in free-to-play, you'll find yew log sellers selling the logs for only 200 gp each, a very, very good price if you're buying them! Now, if you're selling the logs, you might be dissapointed, as back in the early days of my Runescape life, yew logs went for about 300 gp each. The drop in prices is probably due to the number of macroers there are in f2p, as you can see the value is less in f2p than in p2p. If you ever want to sell them for a higher price but you're f2p, go to Runescape Community and post your sale there. I hope my input helped somebody.

Just to add a little note, I added my marketplace suggestion to the competition in the Runescape Community forums, so when the voting or whatever they do start, please vote for me. Link.

And for my last 'daily special' of the day which is actually a whole new one for this blog but in BFBv.1 was actually quite common. It's the...

Picture of the Day

Have a good one.
