Speakerz

Today was a halfway decent day, but once again I'm typing this with only a little bit of day to spare, so let's get rolling.

Themes in Lit was interesting. How many times can you chew people out over the same thing before it gets old for you? We got to watch some more of the newer War of the Worlds, but only got so far. Dakota Fanning yelling out "IS IT THE TERRORISTS" was hilarious.
AP Psych was sort of boring. We went over our next project and that was about it. Although, IO and I got Tierney to play the face game with us, but the face ended up getting a body and it was weird.
Lunch was hilarious. For Tucker, IO, and myself at least. We still don't know why we were laughing so hard at it though.
Mass Media was ok, even without Schoeff there, even though I did miss her. We just had busy work the entire time, although now we know about a Hitler Disco, and I wish I remembered the whole title.
Econ was short because of the Pep Session, but we skipped SSR. We learned more about supply, and mixed it together to get Supply and Demand, go figure.
We got released for the Pep session, and I immediately went to the sound booth to help. It was boring, but then again it was a pep session.
Afterwards I helped tear down the portable sound box and took it back to the audiotorium.

See you monday

<3 Peace

Postscript: I was gonna get a different pic, but after I took this one, the camera kept lying and said the memory stick didn't exist. So there, a scene from the pep session.

Quick Typing

It's 11:30 PM. I only have a half hour to type this *walks away*

Anywho, today was a decent day depending on which points of it I was at, but it was alright, I guess.
We had a sub in German, which allowed us to sit near friends, which was awesome, but he was full of s*** and kept making random racist comments about Europe that were failed attempts at being humorous. The only time he really was was after an assistance from me, saying someone was 26. He told us his name was Ed...
Anywho, English was alright. We're not doing Poetry anymore, but are moving towards Slave Narratives. In the end, we just took some notes, and had a half hour to ourselves.
Lunch was fun. Just overall fun. Couldn't get Kasey to join us because of Batka, but got to hang out with them probably equal time than with my table. Plus bosco sticks win.
Film Lit was alright. Got the same spiel we did in Themes and then watched more of Citizen Kane. If she chewed people out less, then maybe we would've gotten it finished.
Earth/Space was alright. Easy test. Majorly easy. And I had gotten the vocab done before the test, so I just read Maltese Falcon for the rest of class.

CSz meeting after school, then rehearsal. Better time today though. I guess.
The roads suck...

Postscripts: I was taking random pics, and this one of Andy made me laugh, so I kept it.

2/4/09

Everyone's birthday was today. As later told in AP Psych.

Anywho, the morning went by fast. Why? 2 hour delay. Got to school at 9:25 am and hung out with Kasey and Anthony until we went to class.

Themes in Lit, we got chewed out then started watching the new War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise. Didn't get far because of the schedule, but we'll continue next time.
At the beginning of AP Psych, IO wrote a list of people's names on the board for their birthdays being on 2/4
HAPPY BIRTHDAY:
BECCA
LOGAN
LIZ
ZAQ's GMA
ZAQ's COUSIN
I laughed.
Lunch was good. Tucker and I dragged Kasey to sit with us, who brought nothing to the table, but we'll get her to next time. Also, because of the 2 hour delay, Liz got to sit with us, which was awesome.
Mass Media, we had the test, which I found amazingly easy. It was great. Afterwards, I asked IO to draw a picture for me seeing as how Carie wasn't there, and she did, which I used for the pic today. Schoeff gave us our presentations back and I got 100%. Also our vocab. I missed one because I crossed it out and forgot to replace it with a letter...
Econ was cool. Dickerson, Ryan, and I were discussing the most random things while we were doing our work. Also, Polar Pops are inelastic, just so you know.

Went to the Planetarium for one of the three normal homework visits and learned stuff I knew. But it was cool nonetheless.
Then I went to Rehearsal, already in place.
Then home.
Where I watched Eagle Eye. Awesome movie.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: IO's drawing. The scanner cut it off no matter what, but it says "I FREAKING LOVE TREEFROGS at the top. I'm just happy because the "I am the moon!" is still there.

2/3/09

This entire day, we believed that we were going to go home early and the next day would be another school closing. We were almost right in the end.

German was alright, if not boring. However, at one point, inspiration came to me and I started writing this amazing poem that I posted up on DA. There's a supplement to it, but it will never be read past the two people who have read it and the one I've yet to show.
English was boring. Emily Dickinson was just depressing. Her whole life. Depressing.
Even lunch was boring, even though I love my Gold day lunch people.
Film Lit was alright. We watched some of Citizen Kane which will probably always be regarded as one of the best classics of all time, and I fully agree with it. It was a very personal attack on someone at the time, but in the end, it gained the attention that it deserved.
Between Film and Earth Science, we learned that we would get out of school at 2:45. And we did. Needless to say, Earth Science went by slowly nonetheless, but the work is easy. Drivers left at 2:45, and I was out of the parking lot at 3:10. Twenty five minutes...Yeesh.

Went home, watched a movie, went to bed. Nothing else really.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: For once, I didn't want IO to pose, and Carie wasn't either, so win-win.

2/2/09

Original Title: "Joe Butt Said I have a Silly Switch"

2/2/09 was an awesome day, and I wish I had the picture for it so that I would've remembered everything. It was amazing, and distracted me completely from any negative thoughts at the time.

Themes in Lit was alright that day. It was the low point of my day, actually, which is surprising, but then again Mrs. Parker is going a bit crazy...
Second period is when it started to go awesome. AP Psych is an awesome class by itself, but it's better when I get the chance to hang out with IO. After getting our sources written down, IO and I found random personality surveys, and on whatever one she was on, she got ENPF, and it had a short article by a guy named Joe Butt. In it, Joe Butt said that ENPF people have "silly switches", causing IO to yell, "Joe Butt says I have a silly switch!" It was great.
Before lunch and during lunch, IO kept telling people about her having a silly switch, and lunch was just awesome overall.
In Mass Media, Schoeff had us split into groups for Mass Media Unit 1 Jeopardy! and IO and I made it our personal goal to beat everyone in the class combined. And not only did we do that with 3600 points, we almost doubled everyone else's scores combined. She owes us candy for that.
After Mass Media, I didn't have IO in class anymore, so that part of the day went away, but I did have Econ. And I'm not entirely sure what we did that day besides learning the first part of the Demand chapter.

After school, we had rehearsal and then I went home. Rehearsal wasn't all that great, so 'm not writing anything.

Anywho, I hope this satisfys people who wanted more in these.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: Tucker and IO at lunch. IO wanted to cross her eyes and stick out her tongue, and Tucker is just looking lost in thought

Friggin Snow

Got to school at 7:30, which I figure is a good time for it. Went into the library and did my Mass Media homework. I love that class.

Themes in Lit was alright. We finished the War of the Worlds panic film. It gave away the ending to another movie we're watching in Film Lit though...
AP Psych was alright, but I hate when we just kinda sit there the whole time.
Lunch was awesome.
Mass Media was awesome like always. Well, not always, sometimes it's dull, but it was cool. I think IO and I did amazing on our project presentation, and Schoeff believes that even though I already love the class, I won't be fully in love until we get to advertisement.
Econ was alright. Video presentation, and watching another game of Egyptian Rat Screw. That was hilarious. We got out slightly early too, but it didn't really matter.

It was really snowy. And difficult to get home. Then I got my hair cut.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: Logan, Anthony, Kasey, and Carie standing out in the bitter coldness. Evan was in Carie's car, and I was taking the picture.

1/26/09

German was good. The education of it, the actual class sucks. Everyone that I would talk to on a normal basis that's not PK is across the room and distracted, and PK just says random things, and I like conversations.
English was alright too. I'm tired of poetry units in high school though.
Lunch was alright.
We finished watching clips in Film Lit, but that just makes me worry about next time.
Earth/Space was decent, but only because of the experiment we did. Other classes didn't get it finished, which is weird because of how easy it was.

After school, we had rehearsal, which sucks...
I mean doesn't.

I mean...um...LULULULU?


<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: Let's hope no one who can fire the dude sees this

I'm going to say...I like the timestamp to prove.

Today was awesome. I had gotten a lot of sleep and am still pretty awake.

Got to school before Carie, which was surprising. She had gone to polar pop, but only got lemonade, which fails. I'm writing this because she reads :P

Themes in Lit this morning. Nobody was there today, and we were watching the panic documentary about the War of the Worlds radio broadcast.
Ap Psych, for the little time we were in there was alright. Then we went to a jazz concert. Gold Company, this awesome ensemble from Kalamazoo, Michigan put on an amazing performance, and there should be videos below. Really brought back my likeness for Jazz.
Lunch was pretty epic. I used the power of Mozzi Sticks to gain a real lunch.
Mass Media was alright. Vocab test was easy.
Econ was also easy, and we watched this old cartoon called Return to Mocha, which I think was a 60s film to popularize rock n roll.

Readthru after school, and straight home only to leave and go to Bob Evans where I discussed Gold Company with our waitress.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: Every time I tried to take a pic of the singers, someone would step in front of me, so I took the shot with this guy had a solo.

Gold Company:

1/22/09

Just now noticed time stamp on camera. Nice.

Anywho, let's get rolling.

German was boring. But Frau was back. But it was still boring. So...meh?
English was alright, we made posters based on a quote from either Emerson or Thoreau. That was alright I guess.
Lunch was cool.
Film Lit was pretty awesome. We got to show clips from movies, and I showed the "Chase the Morning" scene from Repo: The Genetic Opera. I also got Penguin to show The Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show. It was great. Especially with Parker as the teacher.
Earth/Space was boring, but I totally called the fire drill.

Got cast as Raccoon in the play.

Hung out with Carie and Anthony afterward, ate at Arbys with mom having a late night meeting.

Went to sleep EAAAARLY.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: Anthony, Carie, and I in Carie's car. Notice I'm in the driver's seat. Steve is in the background.

"It's pronounced GigglyElmo Macoroni"

Got to school later than usual, which was weird because I went to bed EARLIER than usual. Odd...

Finished August Rush in Themes. It was an amazing movie and you should see it if you enjoy awesome. Afterwards, we went to the library and screwed around on the laptops.
AP Psych was a work day. Leswing should be back on Friday.
Lunch was cool. We have the most random convos everyday (Because we have almost the same people everyday).
Mass Media was awesome. We did our projects. My GIFs didn't work, which upset me because they were pretty awesome, but it was a good presentation anyway.
Econ was fun. We played a game where we made jewelry and each group had different rules, and we'd switch around those rules each round. We started to make a comeback, but ended up losing by 24 points.

After school I...went home. Holy crap. That's new.

We ended up watching The Host, which is an amazing So. Korean monster film that has a lot of comic relief to go with the drama. It was amazingly awesome.

<3 Peace

Postscript: Sitting in AP Psych

1/20/09

Gold day. Break down. Tired. But not as tired as John here. But more about that later.

German sucked. Horribly. Sub. Sammy was gone. It was boring. Stupid inauguration.
English was once again boring. Transcendentalist writing is long and boring.
Lunch was alright.
Film Lit was alright. Some people showed clips and then we watched the intro to "The Battle Over Citizen Kane".
Earth/Space was alright. I like this unit.

After school, auditions took place. Earlier in the day, I had found out that Evan had the same monologue as me, so I just got another one and memorized it in about five minutes. And then I delivered it pretty well.

Afterwards, myself, IO, and Carie went to WalMart so Carie could buy REPO (Awesome movie), then Burger King to eat.
Eventually, I went and hung out with Tucker and Anthony.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: This is how John was for most of the morning.

1/19/09

Came into school not knowing what the school day was gonna be. Turns out it was a Blue day, which was good for me, but IO freaked out.

Let's see....

Started watching more of August Rush in Themes, but didn't get to finish it. Amazing movie.
AP Psych, we had a sub due to the inauguration. It was alright, just did stuff on the computer.
Lunch was alright. Liz has fourth lunch now though.
Mass Media was fine, worked on some random article.
Econ was boring. Hilarious, but boring.

After school, I decided to go to the audition workshop and ended up being one of the critiques. That was fun.

Short post, but whatever.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: Tucker's arm. I was just trying to take a pic real quick.

Oh My God, It's A Mirage I'm Tellin' Y'all It's Sabotage

Woke up at 6:30 even though we were on a two hour delay. Got some Mass Media homework done early so I didn't have to worry about it on Monday.

Warmed up Steve the Female Car while listening to my new mix. Pretty awesome if I do say so myself.

Themes in Lit, we finished Clint Eastwood's documentary and started on August Rush. Never seen it, but the first 15 minutes have me hooked and I can't wait until we get to watch the rest.
AP Psych was alright, went over some random stuff. boring day. I missed the awesome day.
Lunch was fun. Yay, fun.
Mass Media was cool. I want the Millennium of Media song (Which is what I'm calling it) that we got to listen to.
Econ was also fun. Simple game. S'alright.

After school, hung out with Anthony and Carie for a bit before going home.

I started playing Kingdom of Loathing again, and got Anthony to play. he's been busy, so I farmed for him a bit. Playing a different class than usual is fun, and got me more addicted to the game.

Mom is sick now.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: Liz looked like a bumblebee today. Even her eyeshadow was black and yellow. Took forever to get IO out of the pic

*went to school today*

The parking lot was dark. One light was on, and it was nowhere near where I park.
So that was annoying.

I was told that what I had missed in Mass Media was the fact that I'm doing a report on the phonograph. Woo...

G1! German was alright. Got things done pretty quickly and ended up bored, forgetting to have grabbed War of the Worlds to read for Themes.
G2! English was boring. I've read Walden. Didn't want to read it again.
Lunch was alright. Didn't feel like eating the pizza (greasy) or the main course (ham and cheesy noodle (which depresses me, because they're soooo good)). So instead, I got the chicken tenders. Awesome choice.
G3! Mr. McKenna came in and showed us some amateur films he's had a part of. They were pretty cool, especially the one he acted in which was a remake of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Picture in the House". It was sweet.
G4! Earth/Space was forever boring. Always will be. SSR is back though, and I got to read a great deal of War of the Worlds. Gonna get all the reading done for Themes and the requirement for Film Lit before spring break, then finish the rest afterward.

Really snowy outside. Dangerous. Skidding.

Snowball fight was fun though, and it's not that cold. Unless you're Anthony and snowball without gloves.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: Lunch shot. Got Carie while she was eating and IO when she was telling me not to take a shot because she wanted to pose somehow.

Bye bye 3 exempt a finals, oh well.

I really don't care about having to miss one final. Most of my classes are English, so I'd only get about two anyway.

So my sickness carried on through the night and the next morning, I stayed home from school. Which was good because it hasn't really gone away until rather recently.

Not much to really say.

Biggest Loser is stupid this season. It's not nice to send 9 people home at the beginning as a twist when they're there trying to lose weight and become healthier.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: It says it all

1/12/09

Let's see what I can remember from yesterday

Waited a bit for some people before school.
Then went to class. Yay class.

German was cool. We got assigned seats though, which fails, but at least I'm by the door. Different perspectives are cool, and I don't have anyone behind me, which usually makes me paranoid.
English was alright. More transcendentalism.
Lunch was ok.
Film Literature was cool. Finished Orson Welle's The Stranger. Amazing movie. Orson was an awesome actor and a brilliant director. His usage of light was amazing. And him randomly drawing a swastika on the pad while all these people were after him was hilarious.
Earth/Space was alright. No one really in my class. I sit by Mikey Tiller. Not sure how I feel about that yet.

Speaking of feel, I ended up being really really sick.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: Schaefer's back in school, and her expression was amazing. IO and Leswing in the background are blurry though

Went to school, chilled with random people.
Finally, a blue day where we go in order of the classes though.

Themes in Literature, we got our novels for the semester, and watched some of Clint Eastwood's documentary. It's pretty good.
AP Psych, we got the information for our final, and all the stuff we're going to do leading up to it. We also got assigned seats, so I don't get my awesome pot against the wall.
Lunch was alright.
Mass Media, we got assigned seats, where it turns out alphabetically gets me to sit by IO. We also talked a lot about advertisement we've seen just that day, and made a timeline of major media events.
Finally, Econ. Bruck went over a bunch of stuff. The dude is awesome. Econ is going to be sweet.

After school, Carie, Anthony and I went to BK and then to the movies to see The Unborn. It was pretty good, apparently good enough to scare everyone else, giving me fodder to laugh at them.

Hung out for a little bit after that, then headed home, crashing pretty early.

Postscript: Carie had never had a Whopper before (Nor a big mac, but McDonald's sucks). Here's the pic of her first bite of a whopper ever.

Today was awesome.

I think my productiveness yesterday is what made me tired early, so I will no longer be productive

Or not...

Today was cool. Woke up early, feeling good, ended up getting to school 10 minutes earlier than usual, no matter what the snow thought.

The cake is a lie, by the way.

Started out the day with German 1 which just makes me happy. I love German, and I get it with the coolest teacher, and PK and Sammy. Kasey is there too, but she was late to class today.
Had English next. I technically have two teachers, because Mr. Jacobs includes himself in on Bunnell's convos to mess with her. It's great, and helps people pay attention. Some cool people in there, but the only one who is near me is Emily.
First lunch with IO, Jake,Penguin, Hannah (familiar), Mike, Sammy, and someone else I believe.
Film Lit is amazing. I can't believe I get to take it and the continuation class at the same time. Get to? Sorry, have to. Stupid school
Last but not least. Actually, least. Earth/Space. Cool kids though, and we don't have to mess with rocks.

Went over to Anthony's. Best game of this or that ever.
Then went to Bamboo Garden with mom. Saw Becca. She spoke French.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: It's weird. Normally Sammy has a weird face and PK looks stoned...

1/07/09

Sorry. Went to bed fairly early on 1/7 hence the day late thing

But hey, it's only a day


Did my last final, which wasn't really a final. Then watched a movie/slept in the audiotorium thanks to exempting.

First lunch. Have it with IO, Jake, Penguin, Liz, Hannah, and Tucker

3rd period first. Mass Media is going to be an awesome class. Schoeff is an awesome teacher, and I have it with IO and Lauren Sample
First period second. Themes in Literature. Parker is a good teacher when you are her favorite or into the class, so I'm good. Taylor, Penguin, and a few others.
Ap Psych is going to be awesome. Rachael W., IO, Frankie, Sarah, and a few others plus Leswing is cool.
Finally Econ. The only teacher I really don't know about. I've talked to him and he's cool, and the class is cool, but we'll see.

No Foxytunes, not listening to music for once.

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: Took a quick pic. And now everyone has a close up goofy pic of Ellen. Yay.

FoxyTunes is awesome

It rained ice. I has scraped off my windows and they were instantly ice a moment later. It was crazy.
Didn't have a second period final, so my first class was nothingness. Watched Narnia. Kind of. Fell asleep XD.
Lunch was fine.
Earth/Space final was easy. Way too easy. Anyone who exempted it made a bad choice.
Creative Final was easy too, but it was cool getting to read something I had written two weeks ago. It was pretty good. It was technically a fanfic, or a remake depending on how you look at it. But it was good.

Now playing: The Hives - Walk Idiot Walk

FoxyTunes is addicting. I'm not going to lie. I can listen to my music without opening a whole bunch of stuff.

Postscript: I wanted to get a pic of Mr. Jacobs, but he saw Leswing and went, "hey get my friend Phil in there." Leswing tried to run, but in the end succumbed to peer pressure. Success.

I woke up at 6:30 today, which hasn't happened for the last two weeks. School is back. The question? Is this second semester yet?
----------------

Yay. Finals.

First off, I ended up forgetting my locker combo, turns out i was two numbers off.

English final was easy. Got to spend most of the time hanging out with people.
Went to first lunch since I exempted Ap Psych. Hung out with Ellen. Went back. Watched a half hour of Cool Runnings, then went to my actual lunch, third lunch.
Lastly, German final. I feel like I did awesome on it. About ten minutes from the end of the day, we had a blackout. Hilarious. Not the first time either.


<3 Peace

Postscript: Pic taken during blackout. Quick race to find Carie and take pic. By the way, thanks to foxytunes, I can stamp almost anything on the interwebz with what I'm currently listening to. It'll probably end up annoying you at sometime. Fair warning. I listen on random too, so don't judge.
