Back to school

School starts on the seventh. Woe is me! I haven’t finished my summer reading yet. David Copperfield, if anyone’s interested. Maybe I’ll go find a Cliff’s Notes somewhere…

In other news, the first football game of the season (high school, that is) was Friday. Pretty fun. I went with my sister and talked with a few friends about whatnot. We won, which was surprising. Maybe we’ll have a good team this year. Burlington-Edison hasn’t won the state championship since 1987, I believe. But we went to state two years back and held our own. I hope this year is the same.

To all who have me on Star Trek simms: I’m sorry if I haven’t posted that much. With school starting in less than three days, I’m a bit swamped. I hope to be back at normal posting levels soon, once things settle down and I don’t have to worry about this stupid summer reading. Gar.

A few days ago I went to the local Bargains Galore and bought Deus Ex: Invisible War for five bucks. I almost felt like I was robbing the nice little old lady behind the counter. However, I found out that my computer doesn’t like Deus Ex. The Eidos tech support guy said it was my soundcard (of all things), so my dad went out and bought me a new one at Office Max (not quite the one I wanted, but pretty much the same), but the game is still being annoying. I know it’s not the game (looks as good as new), so it means that my computer is at fault. Probably the video card. That video card has a pretty poor track record. But I don’t have the $200 to get a new (good) one, so here I am, stuck playing Deus Ex and having it freeze on me every five minutes for no apparent reason.

Sometimes I wonder if the computer gods hate me.

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!

USS Canuck

YES!! I have finally become what I’ve always wanted to be! Well, okay, it’s not my life dream, but it’s close. Bravo Fleet’s TF21 finally accepted me as their newest CO. I’m now Lt. Commander Dmitri Krieger of the Titan-class starship USS Canuck. I even have a website up! Visit http://home.earthlink.net/~clpo13/usscanuck to see what’s up. (Future Cody’s note: the site redirects to another that’s now defunct, as that ship/RPG is no longer in existence.) If you want to join, just follow the instructions on the site.

Enterprise canceled

I’ve just been handed a memo that Enterprise has been officially canceled. Now, this poses no problem to me as I don’t watch the show, but it may be the last we hear from Star Trek in a long while. Then again, that doesn’t bother me either because Trek will always live on in the hearts of fans. I prefer a good Star Trek RPG anyways. The only series I paid much mind to growing up was TOS since my parents own the complete series and all six of the original movies (TMP through The Undiscovered Country) on tape. TNG was long over with when I was young and DS9 was only on after my bed time. However, I did watch quite a bit of Voyager and I got to see the series finale. It was the best Trek show I’ve ever watched! I only wish I had known how to use the VCR back then…

First semester is over!

Oh no! Solo/Ensemble tomorrow and I don’t even know where the heck Bellingham High School is! I’ll have to check Mapquest soon. The Internet is a marvelous thing. Did I just say marvelous? Wow.

So I got out of presenting in ContempLit. Yay! In all my years of high school, and even 8th grade, when I’ve had a major presentation at the end of the year (or semester for a half year class), I’ve miraculously avoided giving it. I don’t stall (well, not exactly), we just happen to run out of time. Oh well, I actually regret not giving it. It would have been better than most I saw…

Three day weekend up ahead. The first semester is FINALLY over! No more 20th Century. No more ContempLit. Instead, I’m trading off for Research Writing and Comparative Religions. Can’t say either are much better, but at least it’ll be a change.

In other news, I joined another Star Trek RPG and am planning to join another. The one I just recently joined is the USS Cherokee, part of Star Trek PBEM Network’s Task Force 11. The character? Captain Lance Chisholm, Marine detachment commander. Ironically, I’ll be using this same character for the Bravo Fleet RPG I’ll soon be joining. So I guess this means congrats to Ian for finally getting his command, the USS Explorer, first ship of her class. Lance Chisholm will be Marine CO there as well. I look forward to RPing with you as my fearless leader, Ian.

Now, I be off to drink and be merry.
