kk: Thanks for explaining about the smilies! I'm probably not going to take the trouble to use them (lazy), but if I want to, know I know how.
alla: I tried NaNo, but gave up after a couple weeks. November's always the busiest month at my school, so it was kinda pointless to try at all. Oh well.
Gwendi: *hugs* I feel like such a newbie, too, with all the oldies coming back on...so don't worry; you're not the only one.
seabiscuit: Ooh, a cookie party! Sounds like fun. Where do you find the LOST eps online? I know there are several places...but I'm not sure what they are and my friend insists I watch them all from the beginning.
Emi: Still crossing my fingers for you and your letter!
Cress: Latin is incredible. I've never gotten the opportunity to learn it because my school has a rather limited amount of options as far as that sort of thing, but I'm looking forward to it at college.
Is it just my computer, or is YouTube broken? For some reason I can't get on either the worldwide or UK version, which is weird. Usually, if the worldwide version doesn't work, I switch to UK and it's fine. Hm.
Anyway, I'm so very glad that I'm finally on Christmas break...even though I've got tons and tons of homework. I've decided I'm not going to force myself to work until Friday. Surely I deserve two days off?
Speaking of school...My biology teacher has, once again, decided we are superpeople. We were already supposed to read, comprehend, and commit to memory the last half of the genetics unit because we "didn't have time" to cover it in class. My teacher, Dr. T., handed out a huge worksheet packet that would supposedly help us understand the unit. It didn't, but she decided somehow that we had now finished covering genetics and that we were ready to move on. So, she told us to re-read Chapter 17 and read/answer questions on Chapter 18 by the time we got back from break. This in edition to learning (because even though she thinks we have, we've made clear that none of us have) Chapters 13, 14, 15, and 16. ...I can't wait to get out of her class. No one can.
In addition to biology, I have to finish my oratory, time it, and memorize it, then finish outlining Unit 3 for APUSH. I also need to work on debate with my partner, H, who is absolutely lovely but whom I have never debated with before. Ah well...on Friday, the true excitement begins. And I thought this was supposed to be a break?
I'm still reading Grapes of Wrath, and still enjoying it immensely. Living where I live, the speech patterns of the Joads sound very familiar. I finished The Time-Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger yesterday. It was amazing. At first I loved it, then wasn't sure, but by the end I'd fallen back in love with it again. Some say the character's are flat, but I didn't find that to be true at all.
Hope everyone is doing well, and since I most likely won't be on tomorrow, Merry Christmas!
Dai,
