Songs of Innocence and Experience

Due to incessant readers' demand (that means you, Vien) I will post again. Not that I have anything against it though. It's just that, I was, well, a bit lazy to post. So many things happened, and I might not be able to cover them all.

What I could remember vividly were my barely passing marks in physics AND chem. I didn't expect to get such a low score in chem. Probably because what I did to solve the problems was wrong. Oh well. I will have to make up for it in the future. I can't afford to get low grades in chem. The bio long test was a bit annoying due to the part where we had to count chromosomes, chromatids and stuff. I didn't know how to do that; I didn't memorize that kind of stuff. Math, on the other hand, was a bit challenging. As I struggled through the long test, I felt that I didn't have enough time to do the problems in the problem solving part. Well, I was unable to solve a lot of items in the Fill In the Blanks portion. It was the most annoying part actually. I was able to do both problems in the end. Also, I realized I forgot to discuss one of the items in the long test. There was an identification part, which was unusual because it was math. I forgot to discuss LORAN, an application of hyperbolas... Sorry...

Our meetings at Proogies were quite enjoyable. We, the seniors, were actually the noisiest in the room. Compared to us, the other years were silent. C++ was the language to be used in Proogies. The good thing about that is the simplified input/output. Even though Kuya Ivan was discussing stuff we knew (and most probably forgot) two years ago, it still was fun.

CAT was as fun as ever. And, yes, if you consider marching in cadence, sitting in two seconds with maong pants, standing up in two seconds after said feat with maong pants, and bearing the lower years who would take their time lining up for the flag retreat - if you consider all of these fun activities, you must be a masochist, or a sadist, or there is something else wrong with you, or you are plain sarcastic like me. Well, at least now I have a tickler and B/U/R pens.

After a week's respite, we have been given the next task for STR - which is actually a list of tasks. Yes, it is a play on words. I don't know for sure when this deadline is. I hope we can pass it in time.

Life Sci was interesting, as usual. We proceeded to continue on our topic, which was dreams. While it was difficult to gather data, it still was an interesting topic. Joel had another dream; this time, it was a bit like a nightmare. It was very unpleasant for him. I also found out more about his life actually. Of course, these are the sort of things that one should not disclose. I really don't know much, but still, I appreciate him sharing his dreams with me and our group.

Now, for not academic stuff. Recently I've been obsessed with the trailer for KH3, which is known not to not have KH3 as its title. I've been watching the trailer over and over again, partly because the graphics are amazing, and the sound is, well, enchanting, to the point that I have LSS for it. You can watch the high-quality version on YouTube at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA5bf5jG2co

There are a few things I would like to clear up. First of all, the guy who gets frozen IS NOT ROXAS. Yes, he looks like Sora/Roxas, and he used something that resembled the Kingdom Key. But HE IS NOT ROXAS. And, he is not dead. You can see his eyes move even though he's frozen. Next. The guy dressed like Riku Replica is NOT Riku Replica. Why do people even think about stories for him? The old guy summoned him. He's not a summon in the FF sense of the word (think Bahamut, Ifrit, etc.) but rather, he seems like a normal summon - uhm, a temporary magical construct brought to reality to serve its master, more like a Patronus. Yes, he can wield a Keyblade... but that may simply be because he was an extension of the old man. The blue-haired person is claimed by many to be a woman, and her name is Aqua (analogous to Kairi, sea.) There are two other names, Terra (analogous to Riku, earth/land) and Ven (analogous to Sora, sky/air), and there are 3 persons to assign them to - the person who looks like Sora/Roxas, the person with the eyes that changed into yellow, and the old man. Many claim Ven is the Sora/Roxas look-alike. The identity of the third knight is a mystery. Some say it is Terra; others say it is Xehanort (a lot of KH2:FM stuff points to this conclusion actually.) Terra is also in KH2:FM. At least, a guy called Terra was. The music for the video is called Fate of the Unknown. I like it; I've been having LSS over it for the past few days.

There are a lot of stuff that happened these past few days, actually. Stuff that I would not rather talk about. But there are also stuff that I can talk about... and that was it.

P.S. The STR unit actually has a website. It's maintained by Sir Tayco, the STR teacher of Charm, I think. It's concerned mostly with STR 1 stuff, though. The site is http://www.freewebs.com/pshsresearchunit/
