So Much To Do, So Little Time

Example 1: This post. I have hapkido in less than an hour, so I have to post quickly without only writing 300 words. Example 2: Projects and so forth. Commerce is going at a snail's pace, and my short story may have hit a wall (translation: help!). You'd think the last week would be quiet. Ah well. Now to my day.

Jo drove me to school, and when I got to school, not many people actually commented on my haircut. Probably because I was wearing my hat; it's for the best. Period 1 was Maths, where we did quadratic equations. A1: not all it's cracked up to be (or alternatively, everything you'd expect.). The bell rang 10 minutes early, and Mango took the opportunity to run. When the intercom said back to class, everyone came back: except for Mango. He'd made a dash for freedom. Bloody hell. Next was Drama, which was talking about Shakespeare, and getting back our assessments (well, not me. I got mine. But most people.). An island of bludging in a sea of work. Recess was just 13, as usual. Period 3 was Commerce, in which Kearney gave us time to work on our assessments. Thank god, I needed that. Next was Science, and Robson wasn't there again (methinks he's left already.) That was more work. *sigh* I long for bludgier times. Lunch was 13, as it always is. Period 5 was English, which was fleshing out the finer details of my short story. In other words, not intensive work, but work nonetheless. Last was History, which was answering question after question. It was just too much. Not a great Monday. When I got home, I had to do more work on my Commerce and English stuff. Friday will be a day of celebration, I think. Then after a while, it was time for hapkido. I can actually write this, which is a first, since I'm on my computer. Here goes.

Today was a departure from the usual drills. The class of green belts and up was mixed with us, so everybody from no uniform to black belts were there. Master Jeff showed us some holds and so forth that seemed pretty high-level, but were actually fairly simple (some were very difficult though). I also met a girl called Rebecca. It was her first lesson, and I was paired with her after it was decided that Nick is too short to be an adequate partner to me. She was really nice, and I felt a bit like a teacher. It made me feel pretty good, and we really hit it off. The lesson ran really over time; it finished 30 minutes late. But for the best, I say.

Now to comments, and I got... 22!! It was 14 when I left for hapkido! That's higher than the last 4 days combined. Obviously I can't do all of these individually, so I'll lump some together.
*Ebony: There's a permanent jukebox in my head too, but it doesn't match up to actual music, I say. You can't distract an iPod.
*Victor (x6): Word verify confusion. You're also confusing other people. Random much?
*Karen: Way too much time on his hands. Thanks for the sunshine comment, that made me fell pretty good. And how is Mahfouz exciting? He's one of only a few teachers who made me want to go to sleep (Others: My Year 6 teacher, and Ms Arriola.)
*Dad (presumably): Not Dire Straights, though I will look into Elton John and Billy Joel.
*Shafi: My bad, I thought it was your iPod. My mistake. I don't have a blazer, but I do have a bomber jacket. One of 3 in the school, I think. Call me crazy, I don't like jumpers. And there's nothing wrong with technologically backward, though I wouldn't be able to stand it. Just me though.
*AC (x2): I woke up at 6. My hour was spent awake. I thought it was 7. I wake up too early. I've never heard of Singstar Queen, though I don't think my family wants me to have an excuse to sing more Queen. And I don't think Victor has issues, so much as he's very random. Which is awesome, but 6 comments is way too much. And I got rid of word verify.
*Victor: Not a nutcase. But something.
*Ebony: Maybe it does. Lol.
*Shafi (x5): Word verify is gone. Titanium is an element. No idea about that Happy Guy thing.
*Victor: You and me both. And, yes, sign up: things will be easier.
*Corinne: A LOT of comments. Almost too many (if there were such a thing). And I know a lot of anonymous people, but it's usually not anonymous if you know how they write (and if they write their name. That helps. LOL.) And 1gb doesn't seem enough for me, I've filled about 3.

That was an intensive post. Usually I wouldn't post this late, but I was allowed to, so I figured, why not. No promises for any other day, it's probably going to be a one-off thing.

I need way more time,
