I sit here on this Halloween Eve in my one-si.  (I dunno how you're supposed to spell that...)  I watched DW this afternoon and then Canada's Worst Driver this evening. And then part of another DW episode that I had already seen.  :)  Don't worry, I also did some homework.  I was going to have two tests tomorrow but then my biology teacher decided to move the test till Thursday.  Yesterday I carved my pumpkin. On one side it is the DW logo. Didn't turn out too well.  On the other side it is the crack in time, also from DW.  I am really tired, I need to head to bed. I am in the process of redecorating my room.  I am finally getting rid of that light fixture (so if any of you are interested, lemme know) and (trying to decide where to) hang pictures. I'm not dressing up tomorrow.  I would like to, but I never think of an idea in time to execute it.  I must say that David Tennant is now my favourite Doctor. I can't remember if I've said that already.  I feel that my English class is too overwhelming right now. (I might have already mentioned this too).  We have the standard class work, then an ISP project where we have to read two books and do assignments on them for between middle on November to middle of December.  And now we've just started Literature Circles.  We have to read (yet another) book and do an assignment each week.  So much to do!  And there is always that overhanging dread of trying to decide what I'm going to do after high school. And also driver's ed.  My friend says that I need to call them to schedule in car driving time even though they said they would contact me.  I hate talking on the phone, especially to people I don't know.  Talking in general, really.  And to finish it off, the ball on my cartilage earring fell off. The ball fills in the hole in the hoop so it doesn't fall off. It shouldn't have come off and I don't know how it did. So I'm going to have to go back to Perfect Image and see what they'll do about it.  Afnivosanbhbi'naehb;hfdgipkmrawgjbf;dhbjp'otemshlstnth;luibrhesljz;pgfo/jvm;s/orlhmnajlegj.  Life.

TV Is Entertaining


My ear hurts. Where I got is pierced, that is.  I really hope its not infected.  I'm working on my sketchbook right now. Well, I'm blogging right now, but I was working on my sketchbook moments ago.  I watched two episodes of DW today. I'm on a new season, so that means a new companion. I like her. It's funny, I read somewhere about the companions of The Doctor: "Funny how he has all of time and space in his hands and everybody he meets is British."  I laughed at it, because its true.  And I think I like the Tenth Doctor more than the Eleventh. I thought Eleventh was my favourite, but that was just because he was the first one I'd seen but also that I hadn't seen the others.  I didn't like Nine, and I still like Eleven, but Ten is now my favourite.  I've been comparing them, and I realize now that Eleven is acting like a big baby.  Ten is more mature (but we are talking about The Doctor, you can only get so much maturity) and Ten has more feelings I think.  Have I mentioned before that I've been watching Elementary? I told myself that I was only watching it to see how it compared to Sherlock. But now I'm telling myself that I'm only watching it to fill the space between Sherlock seasons. I have a feeling though that I am going to be a true fan of Elementary.  Don't tell anybody though. I could be held to being a traitor.  Oh well. And I also must mention that after an oddly long time away from Discovery Channel, that CANADA'S WORST DRIVER IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How I've missed thee. It comes back next week.  I'm so excited :)

Times

Wow. It has been a while. But we were having internet issues so that's my excuse. My art presentation went well, although it was during a lock down. The school was under lock down for 10 minutes because there was a man with a suspected weapon in the neighborhood. They ended up finding him. I got my cartilage pierced yesterday. It hurt, not going to lie (like I did to the guy who pierced it). And now I can't sleep on that side. But it's not so bad now. It kind of feels like a bruise when I accidentally bump into it.  I've also been doing drivers ed this weekend. 8:45-2 Saturday and Sunday for two weekends. It seems like a lot crammed really close together, but I would rather get it over with than drag it out. And I thought it would be boring, but it's not really. I mean, I'm not jumping up for joy, but the teacher is really nice and funny and keeps things interesting.  The only thing I don't like is that we have to do a presentation with 5 other people in the class. But we don't know each other so it's kind of awkward trying to work on it because we're not given hardly any time to do it and nobody wants to get together outside of the class so we'll see how it goes.  I got school marks on Friday, doing pretty well in all my classes.  Recently I've really wanted to play My Sims on the Wii. We don't own it, we had just rented it before. But since there's no more rental stores, what am I supposed to do? I think one of my friends might own it so I'm going to ask her if I can borrow it.

Time

Last week our art teacher told us that instead of him teaching us art history, we would each choose a time frame and teach the class about that time.  And, being me, I choose the second earliest time slot. So that means I present second, which means this Friday. So I've been spending a lot of my time working on that. My friend is going first, tomorrow.  The only positive sides to this are that I get it over with and he said that he would mark us easier because we've had less time. Some people won't have to present until late December. How much you wanna bet that there will be some people who completely forget? Or the people who've had two months won't be any better than the people who've had two weeks? I'm looking forward to that. What I'm not looking forward to though is presenting. I do not like public speaking.  Thankfully the lesson doesn't have to last the entire period. That would be a nightmare.  I also have a sketchbook due tomorrow, a bio lab due on Friday and two tests next week. I'm really happy it's a long weekend.  I'm going to go watch DW.
