-At least I didn't type that much, and the project is only getting started.
-I can probably type up what I have on a library computer tomorrow, or possibly at home.
-However, I'm not entirely sure if the flash drive will work in our computer, although I think it should.

-And in Computers class, where I am, I finished and presented my nanotechnology slideshow.
-I found a cool picture for it.

-Gray goo is what you get if nano-robots eat all life on earth while endlessly replicating themselves.
-People liked my presentation, and I probably got a good enough grade on it.

-That reminds me of a book I read
-Prey, by Michael Crichton
-Basically, a bunch of crazed predator nano-bots get loose, reproduce, and try and kill everyone
-It looked really cool, but was kinda anticlimactical when I read it
-Reading Eye of the World by Robert Jordan
-The first two Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movies I downloaded were EVIL
-The first didn't work at all
-And the second...let's just say...it wasn't what it was labeled
-I'm downloading a third, and, hopefully, good version of it
-Eh, Chemistry homework
-Damned IB is overworking us
-But at least we have loads of free lessons
-No, really, I have *counts* 8 free lessons
-Not including chemistry higher level, which I don't do
-The teacher randomly tells us when we don't have to come
-Eh, so I have
...
...
-30 lessons per week
-So an average of 6 lessons per day
-Which means 4 and a half hours of school
-Ever day
-Heh, that's pretty lax
-Now, to post!

[SF]

-My throat is very scratchy
-I'm coughing a lot
-My eyes are going blurry
-I might have an Algebra test today... gah
-*yawn*
-I'm very tired

[Antenora]

-I have about five hours of actual class time every day.
-But since each class is actually 55 minutes, it's really less than that.
-But I spend that 5 minutes rushing between classes, or in the next class, so I guess that should count too.
-I'm glad the library's finally open, so I have something to do during my free period.
-When I woke up, it was horribly cold in my room.
-I keep forgetting to close my windows when I go to bed.
-I suppose that the cold air from outside helps me wake up, though, even if it takes me some time to actually get out of bed.
-I think I'll start my Literature homework now, because I know where to insert the flash drive in my computer.
-It basically consists of typing up information about The Catcher in the Rye.

[A. the Returned]

-Last year we had to learn all about nanotechnology.
-I hated it.
-Everyone in the class hated it.
-That was when we were put in this 'extension' class for three periods on Thursdays and were told that we were being extended academically.
-Everyone hated the teacher and while she made us work the rest of our grade played sport.
-We felt rather excluded.
-It didn't help the fact that a lot of the people in the class were categorised as losers anyway.
-But in conclusion I now hold a grudge against nanotechnology in general as well as e-commerce and thee other subjects we looked at.
-I'm talking to Peej on msn, Derik should be on soon.

[Dante]

-I have five hours of actual class-time per day, but some of them are only 55 minutes.
-And I don't have a first period on Monday, nor either of the two afternoon periods on Wednesday.
-And I get breaktimes of between fifteen and five minutes, depending which breaktime it is.
-Since I'm generally in the same room for each lesson, then I generally don't actually move during breaktimes.
-If I do, it's just to switch classrooms pointlessly.
-My induction/motivational thing today was bad.
-I don't even want to talk about it.
-I managed to read some of Carpe Jugulum, but then I managed to read quite a bit of it last night before I went to sleep too.
-I kept on saying to myself "I'll just read on until the next Granny Weatherwax scene..."
-And then it never came.
-I only stopped when I was about a quarter of the way through the book, and realised that it was about midnight.
-It made me wonder what time I actually got into bed at.
-I felt ill a few times today.
-And I feel a bit ill now.
-And I may be developing a headache.
-This happens frequently.
-They end up not as a true headache, but more as a sort of aching of the head which isn't as bad as a full headache.
-This webcomic-game-thing which I like hasn't updated yet.
-But it should have.
-Bah.
-Sometimes Internet pages load slowly for no good reason, and it really, really annoys me.

[Linda Rhaldeen]

-I have a really weird school schedule.
-I go to three different schools to get to all of them, but I don't go to all three every day.
-Sometimes I have as many as 7 hours of classes, sometimes as little as two.
-With a grand total of: 23.5 hours of classes per week.
-Of course, I get about 2-3 hours of homework per day, plus I have a job where I work for three hours a day.
-And there's travel time between home, the three schools and my job.
-Today's one of my easier days, only 3 hours of classes.
-That's how I managed to get on here at a time when most people are in classes (11 am).
-I need to go soon though.
-My math class starts soon.
-I was at the library yesterday and found a book entitled "Dante's daughter."
-I checked it out, but haven't had a chance to start reading it yet.
-It sounds interesting.

[xangelkimzx]

-My school day today was quite okay.
-I'm actually starting to like Science for some reason.
-Last year I wasn't really a fan.
-Hmm.
-My Science homework was easy.
-I love work on electricity and charge.
-It's just too easy.
-*nod nod*
-I had Chinese for tea.
-My mum made it, it was nice.
-I'm talking to Aimee, Tasha, George and a new friend from school called "Jonny".
-He fancies Aimee! Hehe.
-Most boys fancy Aimee.
-*nod nod*
-I need to look for a picture to inspire a short story for English.
-I was thinking this, but I'm not too sure yet.
-I want it to be the sea/ocean at night, so it will go with the lyrics of Nine Inch Nails' "The Great Below".
-It is such a beautiful song, and really relaxing.
-I generally love Nine Inch Nails ever since Lauren told me about them, quite a few months back.
-My favourite songs are The Hand That Feeds, Hurt, All The Love In The World, Only, Right Where It Belongs, La Mer, The Great Below and Sin.
-And those are just my favourites.
-Hehe.

[Dante]

-Some people I know go to a few different schools to take the courses they want.
-And some do it because other schools apparently do other subjects better.
-That is, more people pass, or grades are higher, or whatever.
-And some people I know aren't taking the normal number of A-levels.
-Anyway, people in the first two groups have to take buses, and I understand time is pretty short.
-But that's only what I've gleaned from overheard conversations.
-There are so many books in the world...
-And so little time in which to read them all.
-I'll be having dinner soon.
-Why do my fingers feel greasy?
-There's no reason why they should.
-I'll go wash them.
-And splash my face with water a little, too.
-Just for the sake of it.
-Oh, and I've been reading Carpe Jugulum.
-(Which I keep on mistyping.)
-It's alright, but I preferred some of the other witches novels.
-Still, it'll probably end well.

[Antenora]

-I like the stuff about magpies in Carpe Jugulum.
-My photography teacher took a picture of the class using a pinhole camera.
-I actually have that photo with me now.
-I asked if I could get a copy ,or borrow the photo to scan/copy it, but he gave me the original .
-He'd normally throw it out.
-It's black and white, underexposed, and blurry.
-Very UA-ish.
-In Spanish, I kept noticing a flickering light in the corner of my eye.
-I got really confused, until I realized it was just on of the fluorescent lights.
-And someone asked "What language is like, spoked, the most in the world?"
-I should be working on my Literature stuff.
-But this computer doesn't have the same version of MSWord I have at home.
-I'll just use Notepad, which I know my computer has.
-If worst comes to worst, I have time to do plenty of typing at home.
-Being "academically extended" sounds painful.

[Dante]

-I did like Carpe Jugulum, in the end.
-And I guessed correctly.
-Magpies are pretty neat.
-So are crows, but I see them as being separately neat.
-I can understand the magpie's legendary tendency to pick up shiny things.
-I've started a little on The Fifth Elephant.
-It sounds interesting.
-It's really dark outside.
-Almost pitch-black, but I can actually make out a few things.
-Okay...
-What's that noise?
-It sounds like something cracking.
-It happened a few times, and then stopped.
-I choose to ignore was-that-something-moving-outside-oh-my-gods.
-I want those curtains closed so badly now.
-Er.
-I hate program incompatibilities.
-What's the phrase I'm looking for...
-Backwards compatibility?
-Something like that.
-But yes, it's annoying.
-Um.
-I've completely forgotten anything which I might have wanted to say.
