In other news, I finally did my PAWS presentation today. It was horrible. I practiced and practiced (okay, it was only once) and had it set to be around 9 minutes, which is just about perfect time-wise. However, I present and find out that I’m only at seven and a half minutes, which is too short. So I had to babble on about nothing for a minute to get my time right, but I probably lost a couple points there. Ah well, now I don’t have to worry about it until next year.

Self-congratulatory

I got my SAT scores back recently. I looked them over and thought to myself, “Oh, snap! I got an 8 on my essay!” and then I put down the score report and walked away.

Kidding. Now, if I can find the report…*grabs shovel and digs through paper on floor* Aha! I got a 740 on the Critical Reading (formerly known as Prince…ah, I mean Verbal), 680 on the Math, and 690 on Writing, which consisted of multiple choice (71) and the essay (8). Not too shabby. 10 points up on both the CR and Math from my last PSAT. Overall, that gives me a score of 2110 on the new SAT scale, and a 1420 on the old. I was aiming for perfect…

Enough about the SAT, it’s depressing me. To explain: the SAT reminds me of the AP Chem test, which is…soon. May 10 to be exact. Dang! That’s not that far off! *moans* I’m gonna fail! And now that reminds me that I have my final playing test in band tomorrow at the beginning of class. But I’m not too worried about that. I am, however, worried about my PAWS presentation on Thursday! I should probably work on that…I hate being a procrastinator.

In other news, the Canuck has finally gotten off the ground (or out of dock, I should say). We’re embarking on our first mission, “Expect the Unexpected”. I’ll let you in on a little secret: it involves Romulans. Yep. I also plan on having a good opportunity for some fighter action, so if anyone wants to join up to be Fighter Wing CO, go right ahead.

As a final note, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is the best piece of (old) classical music ever!

Not in your nose…

Chopstick instructions

I find this wildly amusing. Courtesy of thisisbroken.com, which in turn filched it (okay, they borrowed it) from Gourmand’s Demands.

In other news, Spring Break was fun, but depressing (because it was only a finite amount of time). I am now back working my arse off in school. In other words, I’m sitting on my bum writing this blog when I should be doing AP Chem and math. Fun, eh?

Fish update: he hasn’t died…yet. Unlike my last Betta, this one has stayed alive for longer than a month. I swear, that last one was just a bad egg. A suicidal egg, I should say.

Have I advertised my ship yet? Of course I have. But I’ll do it again! Visit my site. If you like what you see (and I hope you do, I sat on my butt for long hours making that site), go ahead and fill out the form to join. It’s fairly simple, especially if you’ve had experience with this type of thing before. If not, I’ll just teach you. It’s not that hard. Also, I believe last time I did a shameless plug for my ship, I told you the site was http://home.earthlink.net/~clpo13/usscanuck. Well, that’s no longer true. I got a BravoHost account (which, let me tell you, is way better than the free space I had with Earthlink), so the site is now http://usscanuck.bravohost.org. I edited most of the pictures myself. Thank God for PhotoImpact!

Bits of fluff

50% addicted to Xanga: Not so much of a true Xangan
yet, you can still work on it.

Are you addicted to Xanga?
brought to you by Quizilla, and your friendly neighborhood Cody of course.

I had a whole cool long rant ready to go here, but stupid Xanga deleted it, so I’m just going to go sit in a corner and throw bits of fluff at my computer.

Beg, I say, beg!

Yesterday I got to help paint my high school’s parking lot. No, not the lines and stuff, just some concrete cones that were looking nasty, and, if it doesn’t rain, we’ll be back on Wednesday to finish some more stuff. All in all, it was fun. Cold, but sunny. And out of about 20 people that signed up, only four came, as well as two who didn’t sign up, including me. So don’t you people ever go around saying Cody doesn’t do public service. All right, all right, I only do it every once in a while, and only if there are donuts involved, but hey, motivation never hurt anybody.

More stuff happened, but I don’t want to expend the finger energy needed to type it all down, so you’ll have to beg if you want to know. That’s right, beg. ON YOUR KNEES, DOG!!!
