Today was, again, like any other normal day.
It started with a not-surprise quiz in English. I was caught off-guard because I had arrived a little late, and I didn't study a lot. Okay, I didn't really study. I do listen to Sir Args' lectures. I just don't take notes of any kind, because I feel that I don't need them. I was a bit disappointed because I was not able to pass to the next round. Oh well, at least Clarisse got to the next round. It was a bit unfair. For three straight times, our groupmates were pitted against each other. It's a bit unfair. Still, I will have next quarter - and Thursday's quiz as well - to look forward to.
We were able to pass our STR proposals - mine and Dandy's. Of course, they have not yet been approved. Yet. We are very hopeful. I hope my proposal gets accepted; well, of course the same goes for Dandy's. My proposal is, I believe, decent - it is not a simple run-of-the-mill alternative substance research, and it is doable, understandable and comprehensible by 4th year students. I hope it gets approved... It is hard to think of topics. About that... I feel a bit sorry for Kim. His group's proposals were all rejected. He feels tired and STRessed (duh, STR) and I just want him to be, well, less STRessed. Hope he gets another an idea, which the STR people would finally accept.
Physics was doable. Electric fields were not really that different as compared to forces. Relatively the same thing: vector addition. Now, we have a new hobby: counting the number of times ma'am Quines says "ok." Still, I think I fell asleep in physics again. Not really asleep; more of extremely sleepy.
I was unable to do the quiz in math; i was expecting something on hyperbolas and instead got a quiz on ellipses which i was not able to do because i misinterpreted eccentricity. Hyperbolas are ok; they're the stuff we have to research for...
Life Sci didn't really go well because we were unable to watch whatever it is we were supposed to watch. I went with Joel's group for the poster/billboard thingy. It was fun working with them, though i feel a bit out of place for now. Chem proceeded smoothly because we were given an early dismissal. Com Sci was sadly nonexistent due to the sudden blackout. Power was restored before Health, and during that time I was again extremely sleepy. I can't believe we had to memorize the name of every bone in the body... Soc Sci was also nonexistent because Sir Job wasn't there again. I was able to do the seatwork hours before and promptly enjoyed a 3:20 dismissal.
One of the highlights of this day was the listing for platoons for CAT. I am to be in the Delta platoon, along with Kim, Tobit and Jason. Good thing I'm familiar with most of my fellow platoon members. Also, I found out that another Proogies! exam would be held on Thursday. I'm not really sure if I can make the cut. I feel like I've lost my interest, actually. With my minuscule knowledge of Java and C++, I'm not sure I can make the cut. Still, I would be glad if I did. I have equipped myself with knowledge of arrays now, and a little bit of input/output, and a little on exceptions. I will still try to do the best I can.
I think that's all for today. The original idea for this post was a bulleted list of the things I could/should/would tell Castro when I do confront him. Let's just do that for another time...
