And it is! There hasn't been one for a while. And it was a pretty good day, apart from a loss of a few things (loss can be taken numerous ways, try and spot them all!). All this to be explained, right now. Oh, and by the way, prepare soon for the 200th post celebrations, which, assuming a post a day (which is pretty much assured), should be on Thursday, the 27th of August. Expect celebrations.
Before school, I went to pack my bag; and noticed something missing. I have two pencilcases, OK: my black one that has stuff like my calculator and ruler in it, and my small blue one with pens, pencils, rubbers, sharpeners... You get the picture. And I went to pack my bag and noticed the blue pencilcase missing. A quick dismantling of my bag quickly showed that it wasn't in there, and another check showed it wasn't under my bed, behind it, or indeed anywhere I looked. I simply could not find my blue pencilcase. So I got to school with my only writing implement being a blue pen I found. Period 1 was Ag, in which we combined with Ian and Shafi's class because there was enough in both classes for one class, and there was only one teacher for the two classes. We watched this video which was filmed in Wales, and was seemingly not translated out of Welsh. Or at least, none of us could understand what they were saying. So I played cards with Ebony for a while. Period 2 was Geography, in which we watched a video on migration.
Recess was 13, with my new cards, although my old deck remains in my bag as a tribute. And my new cards have a problem: there is no personality in them. You can't differentiate any of the 3s from any other cards, and all the cards have their corners. You can't get annoyed because Victor got the 3 of spades, or Andy got the 2 of hearts. It takes a bit of the fun out of it. Period 3 was Maths, in which we talked about tables for the formal. We had a sub. Period 4 was Science, in which we had a competition. We (Hewie, Alan, Tan and I) got a golf ball, a wooden ramp, and a metre ruler (perpendicular to the table edge), and the challenge was to make it so that Robson could place the coin at any point on the ruler between 10 cm and 70 cm from the table, and we could hit it. We spent most of the period setting it up and testing out variables. In the end, we got 5 hits out of 6 goes, and we thought we had it won. But, of course, Ebony's group had to go and get it spot on, with 6 out of 6. Naturally.
Lunch was more 13. Period 5 was Commerce, in which we finished watching that thing on advertising from yesterday. I also tried to build a house of cards, for no real reason other than that I was bored. It didn't work. Period 6 was English, in which we had Faulds as a sub. He had work to do, so he let us do pretty much anything, as long as we didn't scream. So Barahona, Tan, Alan, Hewie and I played 13 for the whole period. It was fun. I was then picked up by Dad, and then we went to go pick up EJ. So for the rest of the night, I watched the footy (the Dogs beat the Cats, making it almost impossible for Carlton to make the four), and played some Battlefield Heroes. I also blogged in time; but for Thursday. Ah well.
Let the comment replies begin, with a single one:
*Ebony: Yes, you are appreciated, for your card-bringing abilities. And I think leaving Shane and Oscar in the bushes with a video camera was, if not harmless... Mostly Harmless (Cue the sound of every single Douglas Adams fan reading this laughing at my nerdy pun.).
And that was my day. Expect a possibly longer post tomorrow (well, longer than usual for a Saturday), and I would like to repeat about those 200th post celebrations coming up on Thursday. Don't miss it!
Better title, I suppose,

Lost and Found
I refer to my iPod, which was lost, and eventually found. It was the main event of my day. If it hadn't have been found, then I would be in deep trouble. Mainly because my iPod is nearly always with me, and it's a good release valve. But, I'm off topic. To my Monday, which was both better and worse than I expected.
I blogged before school, and then went to get my stuff to bring to school. And something struck me: my iPod was nowhere to be seen. Not in my room, not in my bag, not anywhere. I panicked. When Mum found out what I was looking for, she lost it (meaning she got angry. She didn't literally lose anything. That would be a very cruel coincidence.). We got to the station late because of it, and I ran for the train. The train was late. Very much so. So I ran all that way for nothing. Goddamn. Before school, I talked with people, and tried to remain calm. Period 1 was Ag, in which we drew for the order in which we would do our Ag assignments next term. I'm either 6th or 7th (and what's 6 x 7? 42!), depending on how Schippers is going to run it. Next was Geo, in which Johnson tried to get us to do a definitions quiz. But, luckily, she forgot to tell us on Friday, so we're doing it tomorrow. Thank god. More time to prepare.
Recess was not actually 13, but just talking. Call me crazy, but I didn't feel like 13. (Yes, I know. No, I'm not kidding.) Period 3 was Maths, in which we did some work on congruent triangles. Which, like most things is Maths, is essentially doing the same thing over and over, with a slight twist. But this class was especially a bludge, as Rawson ended up going on Geometer's Sketchpad to show us stuff. Next was Science, in which we watched videos about reproduction in cells. Also a bludge. These things happen. Lunch was talking about random things, as well as the odd game of 13.
Period 5 was Commerce, in which we had Cody instead of Kearney. In that, we just worked from a sheet. I also did my Science homework. Well, why not? Last was English, in which we did more comparisons between Animal Farm and the Soviet Union. After the bell went, I caught the bus home, and I spent the time at home doing some blogging, and I finally found my iPod. It was in my pants pocket in the washing machine, that wasn't put on yet. So a really, really close shave there. But, all's well that ends well. Then, after going on MSN and a bit of blogging, around 7, we left for hapkido.
In this session, I got 2 signatures, thus giving me 18 signatures. Only 6 to go before I can become an orange belt. Hooray! Today we did some work on evasion and self-defence, among other things. I finally fixed up my back rolls, and I taught a guy some of the aforementioned evasion and self-defence. Today was a great day. Apart from the iPod losing, of course, but apart from that, it was really good. After I got home, I blogged a bit, and here I am, a day late, blogging.
To comments, 3 from 3 people.
*Victor: Stop bagging the movie. I liked it, and I wasn't a die-hard Transformers fan. Accept it for what it is, not what it could be.
*Ebony: I'm not quite sure about which part to respond to about this comment. I think I've covered all of it in previous comments. But yes. I got another commenter.
*Anon: Who are you, Anonymous Aeroplane?!
And that was my Monday. Overall a good day, but it could have been better. But, I suppose, that's how life goes. Win some, lose some. Anyway. I'm starting to get philosophical, which means it's time to end the post.

Say Cheese!
Yes, it was school photos today. I also felt like titling it that. Why not? (If you're wondering why, the answer is because it's my blog, dammit! I can blog on what or when I feel. Anyway. Moving on from my frustration at a hypothetical situation. Wait, what?) And I'm sorry it's a late post, things just seemed to keep getting in the way. I hate it when that happens, because you keep trying to get to something but... you get what I mean. I just have no idea how to finish that sentence.
Before school, I finished Monday's post, and before school at school, I'd like to think I entertained people with my new, lispy voice. I'd like to think that. My voice now sounds relatively normal. On another minus side, Victor can do a way better Acolyte voice than I can. So, crap. Period 1 was English, and we had Contado. We got 'Animal Farm' for a book, which is one of those freaky-coincidental things, because I finally read it after borrowing it from the library only a week ago. I told her I'd already read it not long ago, so I got to read my Bill Bryson book. Isn't it nice when things just work? (See this Honda ad for explanation. I love this ad.) When the bell went, I went to Maths, and there it was just some calculator work, as well as learning some stuff about logs, and being a smartass in class (because Faulds taught us new maths stuff specifically because I was away. Or so he says.). Recess was 13, as it usually is, though John seemed to be completely out of it. '13?' 'Yeah, what about it?' '13!' 'So?' 'Cards!' 'Oh...' The long weekend takes it out of everybody.
Period 3 was School Photos, and there were many memorable moments. When we started to line up, it became obvious that Eric had had a massive growth spurt. More than one person told him he was 'supposed to be' at the end of the line, including myself. I also grew, and when we filed up for a grade photo, I was in the top row. How awesome is that? However, this sense of almost-pride (because it's only really actual pride if you do something, rather than letting your body do something, if you know what I'm trying to get across here) was short-lived, as being in the top row sparked a slight unease (not exactly a fear of heights, but reminiscent of it), which would have been better if I were not at the edge. That in itself would have been better if there were a rail. Luckily, I didn't fall down. The group photos themselves passed without much incident, except for a word to say, the guy said to say 'communism.' Don't know why, don't want to know. The individual photos passed without much incident. Period 4 was Commerce, which was just a bit of bludging in the Computer Room. Ah, the joys of doing nothing.
Lunch was the usual. Period 5 and 6 were PE, and this session was a sport that I actually know how to play: cricket. I did pretty well for a while (and it was sorta fun watching Ebony's uncoordination. No offence.), and near the end we played a mixture of Diamond and Continuous Cricket (Ciamond? Dinuous?). When I got into bat, I just kept running, and it was tiring the hell out of me. When I finally got out, I realised I was having a panic attack throughout the whole thing. I swear, my body hates me. Anyway. At home, I did some of my assignment, talked on MSN; and realised my Pokemon Emerald game is gone. Seriously, I can't find it. Bugger. I'll keep looking though. And when I went to blog, things just kept getting in the way. So here I am on Wednesday morning, blogging.
To comments, one from one person. And Ebony actually commented. Hooray!
*Ebony: First four points in the first paragraph, I: partially agree, disagree, disagree, agree. And, yes, comment more. And I am only good at the first two, I suck at Singstar. Paragraph complaints? Really?
Well, that was my Tuesday. Ebony has begun to comment again, I'm back to 13, but I'm back to school and I've lost a game. Well, you win some, you lose some.
Back to school, again,
