Oh.My.God.
first of all, I can't believe I actually had to go and search the ToGR...it's been 2 weeks since anybody poster here.
Last night, my school had a dance. A perfectly ordinary dance, which was lots of fun until the last 10 minutes or so. I was dancing with some of my friends, when another girl comes over and tells us that a girl (who went to my school for the last 9 years)'s house was on fire. We all rushed out, and basically the whole 8th grade was just sort of milling around, in shock. But to make things worse, this morning my mom gets a call from my friends dad, who called to say that the girl's dad died. I am seriously in shock right now. I don't know her well or anything, but...I have known her for the last 10 years, and my mom used to work with her mom.
On to cheerier topics: all others who have read the Percy Jackson books, did you know that the new series is kicking off on the 12th? it's called the Lost Heroes of Olympus. And yes, Percy and Annabeth and the others are still present. It's just from another boy's point of view. His name is Jason. You can read the first two chapters online, here
Otherwise, school is pretty OK. I have waaaaayyyy more homework than I though would be possible, considering I also have theater 3 days a week, voice lessons (for theater) on Mondays, volunteering at the library on Tuesdays, after school chorus on Wednesdays till 4(I have band in school, and you can't do both) after school enrichment classes on Wednesdays till 5 (i do both at the same time
) piano on Thursdays, and dance on Thursdays. That's not including anything extra...
Oh, and my science teacher is certifiably insane.If the heading on your paper is wrong (you put your name first instead of the date first, etc) he says he will give you detention, and he probably will....nobody has made that mistake yet. A few days ago, he made a girl stand in the hall the whole period, probably for talking, but I'm not sure, 'cuz he didn't say, he just told her to take her stuff and go stand in the hall.
Our English class is amazing, because we have a great teacher, the lunch period (which is longer than the others) and only 11 people in the class. the other accelerated class has 23. We have been known to talk about Disney movies and hand lotions for at least half an hour (each, they were on separate days).
Now...it's late, I'm over tired, and I am babbling. Somebody should post here again, I don't want it to be another 2 weeks!

But thank you.
I must get out and twiddle some more with that antenna outside while the weather's still pleasant. It needs tweaks to bring it back onto the mark for 40 metres and to bring the 80 metre section I've added into useful territory. I've not listened in on any slow-scan TV yet, but there're folks at the radio club who do use it. Last night's radio club meeting was a quiz evening. One of the questions went "What's the difference in orders of magnitude between the S.I. prefices yotta and femto?" Then, last night, as my bedtime reading, I picked up Omnitopia, and there was that yotta prefix again. Funny how things can escape your attention for years, and then crop up twice on the same day...
