Would you look at the time. Its 2:09! Hey that rhymed! Well yeah I’m sitting here on a Monday morning at 2:09 working on this ever so lovely US History magazine project. I started it yesterday around 1 and have been working on it ever since. Oh and guess what? I’m only half way done! Seems to me like I won’t be getting any sleep tonight. I suppose I can just make up for it at school and miss anything that my teachers decide to teach. Not like its important anyways. Well I suppose I need to stop procrastinating and get back to my work now.

Well that’s something you don’t hear every day. For the past week there has been a lot of talk around school about a possible snow day on Friday. Finally today, well I suppose yesterday now, the snow actually started coming down. The chances of the snow actually sticking were looking slim, but somehow it ended up sticking as night came. There’s just enough snow on the roads now for Fulton County to declare that it is “unsafe for travel.” What does that mean? Snow day! So what are my plans for the snow day? I would really love to go see Lindsay, but I’m not sure how I could get there. The roads are pretty frozen over. Hopefully something works out though. I’ll probably post pictures of the snow when I can take some when it’s light out. Oh yeah, ROLL TIDE!!

So the school added a nice new feature this year… WiFi!!! It took them a good 7-8 weeks to get it set up but I finally noticed the signal last Friday. I found FCSFaculty and FCSGuest. I figured that only teachers could get on the faculty one so I tried my school login on the guest network. Failed. This morning Andrew told me that I needed to log in with my school account on the faculty network and it would work. Sure enough I tried it and I was able to get on everything. No websites are blocked or anything. It’s a pretty nice discovery. Now I actually have something to do during school!

So today was a half day. The most pointless yet fun day of school each month. So after school we had a Big Brothers/Big Sisters CORE team meeting. Basically it was about how we need to change the club name. Some ideas were Raider Buddies, Big Buddies, and Raider Mentors. Comment on which one you like so I can see which ones best. After that Stephan and I were mad craving Taco Bell so we convinced my mom to drive us there. I got a bean burrito and 3 pintos & cheese. Was pretty good. Stephan got his laptop from his house and we decided to have a Counter Strike day. That was all cool until about 1 game in, Sydni told me that her and Abi could go to the mall. I was like hell yes and called my mom to see if she could be chauffeur. She quickly denied and I was like… crap. So I made Stephan call his mom and she also quickly denied the request. After 30 minutes of begging, Mom caved.
So we got to the mall and waited in the Apple store. I checked out the new nanos and I have to admit that they are pretty nice. They felt a bit greasy though. Might have just been because a ton of people touch them. Then I played a nice game of air hockey on an iPod touch with Stephan until Abi and Sydni got there. Meeting Abi was cool. We all walked around the mall a couple times trying to find something to do. Stephan liked sitting way in the back of department stores on the floor. It was pretty fun so I don’t blame him. We found some benches and when I sat down Stephan shoved me off. Was total denial and I was quite unhappy. Abi laughed. We did some more walking and then Stephan and Sydni wanted their alone time so I set off on a search for Dr. Pepper with Abi. I had fun and we ended back up in the Apple store. We stayed there until they left.
So they left at like 6 and my dad wasn’t coming for at least another hour. Stephan and I chilled in the Apple store for a while. I checked the Bookface and did a little farmville til we got bored. We went to GameStop and talked about the PS3. We had only passed 20 minutes. We went to the Clear booth after that and talked to the sales guy named James Slaughter. Creepy last name huh? He was a cool dude. We’re pretty convinced that we want to get Clear now. Seems like a pretty convenient thing to have. Dad finally showed up after 45 minutes of watching Shaq vs. some guy on Hulu. Now I’m home, blogging. Was a pretty good day.

I woke up to more rain today. I was kind of hoping that it would be nice out but its not. The traffic getting to school was horrendous. I have no idea how I got to school on time. So once we pulled into the school, the line for car pool was backed up down the hill. I only had 5 minutes left to get to class so I had to get out and run to the school. I got pretty drenched. It’s always nice going into a cold school while soaking wet. So now I’m sitting in Web Design “learning” more about FrontPage. I’m pretty much bored. Blogging occupies my time I guess.

So I finished my HTML project today. I worked a good 3 days on it. When Ms. Davies came by to check mine the first thing she asked was, “You’ve done this before haven’t you?”

Well today was the fourth day at school. All together it pretty much sucked. The day all started with web design class. I “learned” how to “code” the <html>, <head>, <body>, and <h1> tags. Everyone in the class used WordPad to create a “webpage” using these tags. I finished mine in a good 6 seconds and everyone else struggled to make words show up. I felt too advanced for the class. After web design I went to US History and created an imaginary establishment in the new-found America. It was called Jerboaland and profit was made by breeding Jerboas. In lit, my mute partner and I shared our project on euphemism with the class. I did all the talking. Physics was boring. Everyone got up on the first bell just to be disappointed that we don’t get out ’til the third bell. Lunch sucked. No explanation needed on that one. Math was the WORST. I’m starting to hate Mr. Oguz more and more each day. First of all, he can’t talk. How can you teach when you can’t even speak. Second, he won’t let us use a calculator on anything all year. Don’t I have some sort of right to use one? I plan on using one regardless of what he says. Then engineering rolled around. The one good part of my day. Then I went home. I’m ready for summer…
