Therapist for Hire

Step into the role of a therapist. One who treats stuffed animals, each with their own chronic insane conditions. Help cure a toy crocodile of aquaphobia and an extreme anxiety disorder. Help a sheep who seems to only want to abuse itself and howls like a wolf. Performs tests such as Paint Therapy, Play Therapy, Ink Splotch Tests, or Administer Drugs on the patient if need be.

Downcast

World History presentation is done and over with, and all that's left is Physics Quiz, Chemistry Project, Biology Project, Biology Unit Test, World History Unit Test. I guess, everything else.

Certamen was good, Markham won first in every level. Yay.

I just finished reading Othello, rather briefly though. I'll probably have to read it again to intake the content properly. The ending was waaaay too abrupt. In my opinion it was missing a scene. But then again it is fine as it is.

Today's sodium/potassium + water experiment was really cool. Especially potassium and its multicoloured flames and sparks. I argued that there was a high chance the piece of potassium would fling itself out of the beaker via the spout, but it never happened (in this class).

I feel really down lately, with the weather and workload.

omg ur jelaous lolz1

The upcoming burst of assignments and stress has been alleviated as now I don't have two unit tests in consecutive peroids anymore. Mr. Bower gave us a break and delayed the unit test one day in order to give us a review period. It's just better because you dont need to divide your studying into two subjects.

I think I'm messed for Certamen. I don't really stand a chance. Blah~~~
I think all my other team members will score points, while I sit there filling up space.

On another note, all the characters in Othello are stupid. I mean, I Othello gets crazy in like one day.


Iago: There are a kind of men so loose of soul
That in their sleeps will mutter their affairs.
One of this kind is Cassio.
In sleep I heard him say, "Sweet Desdemona,
Let us be wary, let us hide our loves."
And then, sir, would he gripe and wring my hand,
Cry "O sweet creature!" and then kiss me hard,
As if he pluck'd up kisses by the roots
That grew upon my lips; then laid his leg
Over my thigh, and sigh'd, and kiss'd, and then
Cried "Cursed fate that gave thee to the Moor!"
Othello: O monstrous! monstrous!


I think I agree with Othello.

Today was pretty good, if working on World History is considered good. After food court and Michael's it was Jason's house for modelling clay madness. I discovered the guinea pigs. They are so much better than hamsters. Mainly because hamsters are nocturnal and don't make any sounds. Of course guinea pigs need more caring. But still. They were exchaging little guinea pig calls. Can hamsters exchange little hamster calls? No. They just sleep on each other in a corner. But still, hamsters are cute in their own right.

I have to try to work projects as consistently as possible to avoid the eventual weekend cram of projects. (Which will probably happen anyway >_<)

Doomsday

So the Latin test turned out for the better. I have to start studying for Certamen hardcore again. It's on Wednesday. That Wednesday will be fun, but not the next. On November 2 I have a World History presentation, which will all be smushed in this weekend again. On November 9 I ahve a Comp Sci test, which won't be too bad.

But then there's November the 10th. That day. Won't be very enjoyable. I have a Chemistry project due. Stupid asthetically pleasing but stuffed with information brochure. Fine. But then there's that Biology Unit Test. I can handle both, since I have a lunch period to brace for Biology. But then there's also that World History Unit test the next period after Biology. Damn.

Then we have our Biology project due the Friday after that. I wouldn't have minded it that much if some of youse teachers would give us projects earlier, and the rest later. But no. Stupid report card deadlines.

K.O.

I knew there was to be some horrible forthcoming test when we skipped 10 chapters in Latin to crazy translations, but I never realised how much it would own me. I didn't study for a whole grammar section because I didn't know it would be on the test, so I probably lost a handful marks there already.

I didn't know that phrase too. I just wasn't as creative.

All the Punies ran away!

I guess I should've have ignored all my homework until today. I think I have a lot to carry back to school tomorrow...

Team America was cool, in that immature humour sort of way. I felt really bad sneaking in, mostly because the whole staff seemed to be gathered outside the theatre as we came out. But then again there was this mom and her 8 year old kid in there...

Ew, Lovecraft's stories are getting more disturbing. I guess I just so happened to read the not-so-disgusting ones first.
