View Full Version : How Was Your Week?
Here you can tell us all about how your last few days have been. Trouble, victories, goals...anything! And updates.
My past week has been relatively good, except Calculus II is a constant bad cloud over my head. That class is insanely hard!

Alrighty, lets see.
This is an ok week :D, I'm not failing Biology like I thought I was. I did get two bad grades in english cause my teacher decided to go up in how she was grading my work with out warning me, but that will only take a few hours of rewriting those papers to fix that, and making a few extra papers for extra credit. Oh and how could I forget, I GET MY LICSENSE TOMORROW!!!!!! *dances in circles* ok, I couldn't resist, and Andy looked lonely. :D

Get good grades you! Bad grades are...bad!
Haha. My week has been okay. It's mostly been spending time getting used to the whole school thing, adjusting my schedule, etc. The only bad thing is that I haven't gotten anything written since starting classes, which really sucks. But hopefully that will be resolved once I get myself on schedule and stuff.
Umm, good things that have happened is I got a laptop! Yay! Oh and we started this site and Andrew is doing a fantastical job on it. Go Andrew! Yay!

This has been a good week, chiefly because I was invited to join this site. :) I'm not really having much trouble with GCSE, but I keep telling myself that's because I'm not into the thick of it yet. I've done two mock exams and started my English coursework. I may also be joining a band, which is called Stand Up and Skank (it was made by girls, I hate the name too). And I'm working on a new novel (the one I talked about in the Q&A section) and, hopefully, that'll go well. So, pretty good week. :D
A band, Shadow? What instrument do you play? And if it was made by girls, join it! Really, join! Unless they play really girly music, it sounds like a good thing to try. :flute:
I'm having a good week also, because I've made a lot of progress on mapping out the second and third books in my trilogy this week. All in preparation for NaNo, in which I will attempt (in vain, probably) to write both of them. :D

I play back-up guitar and I might be doing back-up vocals. I'll also be helping with the lyrics. I don't think it'll really be girly music. It's a Hardcore, Thrash and Electro band, so I don't think girly lyrics will be suitable. :rolleyes:

My week was good, except the insane bipolar teacher who screamed at us all...But my voice is hurting from doing so much singing....I think I need to cut something...
But on a brighter note, I made up with my boyfriend! sorta...

Well that's certainly good news, the end at least. Sorta...well it's gooder knew :P.
As for me, hrmm. Well, kind of good and kind of crap.
Long week, I lost my glasses today, found them, they had scratches on the lenses and now I'm irritated over that. Umm, we had a surprise quiz today in my lit class and my stupid brain, which knew almost all the damned answers, shut off and I could only answer 5 of the 10 with any confidence, and made up some other answers because I just couldn't think of anything. I'll be better prepared next time.
Umm, there's some good stuff, but I don't think I should talk about it because I think the other person it is about would appreciate me not publicizing it. But there's the whole TW fiasco going on, which is lovely, umm, yeah. I mean, kind of crappy week, but so be it. A bunch of girls talked to me at school in the last week though. Might not sound like much to you guys but, they were all rather cute, and they talked to me first, so ya know, I apparently have some skill left :P

That last bit about the girls made me smile, Shaun. At first it sounded as if you'd never talked to a girl in your life. Ah well, I'm the same as you, really. But I don't much care. People in our school just have girlfriends and boyfriends for getting popularity and pretending they actually love each other. :rolleyes:
Shaun
10-13-2007, 05:41 PM
Well you're not too off. I don't really talk to girls :P. Afraid of them actually :P. Women are scary :(
I came back from a retreat this past weekend, and actually remembered the names of at least 30 other students - 3 of whom I've passed and spoken to while walking around campus. So, my week's been great.

Well I started Candy Stiping today...which is a little odd...and creepy, but overall it was really fun...and eye-opening...

Continuing the girl discussion:
Today my friend spent half the lunch trying to convince me that all boys were icky, disgusting, scary, evil, etc.
Sexist.
She spent the second half of lunch pretending that I was her mother, and that I was married to her binder. I filed for divorce. And I don't want custody.

Today I nearly drowned in my Kayaking lesson. Seriously, I capsized the kayak (intentionally, of course), but my large shoes got stuck in it and my face was submerged and I was stuck drowning for about 30 seconds. So... other than that, life is great. :rolleyes:

I'm had a pretty bad couple of weeks. Mainly lies....and now I'm all hurt and upset.
Maybe you people could help me.
(Yes, watch as this thread slowly turns into Ichigo's wine and complain place.)
So there is this little ten year old kid who is kind of my friend. Well he's like a brother to me. I really can't explain how I feel about this kid cause it's just really wierd and freaky. So my friend, who knows him to, went and told me that he hated me, and so many really mean heart-breaking things. I was crushed, but I belived her cause she's my friend and I love her and what not. But I figured out he didn't say anything like that, and I ended up hurting him by accusing him. So it's all really messed up and stupid. I'm not talking to my "friend" anymore. But she's trying so hard....I don't know if I should forgive her or not.
At times it was amazing and at others I wanted to die.
I got 20k done this week, I also stopped writing on Wednesday. I went to court, and got my ticket reduced to a parking violation, and it won't be on my record. I went to the theater troupe meetings; someone really liked my play. I also know who is directing it. I got a B on my chem test (Which is awesome. :D)
I'd say the best thing that happened this week was either hitting 20k, or realizing that, yeah, they really are doing my play... I keep thinking that he'll come to me and say, "Sorry, changed my mind!"
The worst has to be that since Tuesday night ended, I've only written 200 words, haha.
Aw, Ichigo I wish I could help you but I'm blank...
I'm having my own friendship problems too you see...my best friend and I used to be really close and now I feel like she's drifting away, we barely talk anymore and she seems to have more fun with girls she used to hate before...

Well here's some things to consider.
1) Keep the little boy as your friend and patch things up immediately. He's obviously not a bad person and worthy of your attentions.
2) Has your 'friend' lied to you before? If so, what kind of lie? A stupid white lie? Or was it something somewhat serious? If it was just a stupid lie about something that wasn't bad, you should have a serious discussion with your friend and tell them if they lie to you again it's over. However, if this is the second time that a lie of any importance has occurred, cut off contact. Someone who lies to you more than once like that is going to do it again.
That's just my opinion though.

Gah, as for my week. It was somewhat depressing but relatively good.
I bot a B+ on my essay in Literary Interpretation, which I'm not happy about. Yeah, I know, it's a B+, which is good, but it's just not what I wanted. I also got a B+ on a journal entry in my Opera course, which really irks me because he's grading these things as if they are supposed to be actual papers, but he's not taking into account that they are supposed to be journal entries. I'm still waiting to get back my German Fiction essay, which I hope is good.
On a happier note: I got to talk to my girlfriend all week, which makes me ecstatic cause she's awesome and snuggable and kissable and all that good stuffs.
I also have two short stories submitted and pending reply. One is a fantasy short going to Writers of the Future and the other is a science fiction short going to Analog Magazine. I'm also going to be finishing up another short story hopefully this weekend to go out on Wednesday and in theory I should have another short for the following Wednesday since it should be finished this weekend.
Oh and I subscribed to Analog Magazine again, because I have 20 years or so worth of back issues and it's a good mag. And I'm trying out some other mags to see which ones I really like. Quality mags are hard to find though :S.
In other news, umm, well I'm not doing NaNo this year because I don't have time to write 50,000 words this month. I have far too many other projects. I'm about 1/3 into a science fiction novel, I'm doing lots of editing on short stories, etc. Actually, so far this month I haven't done a lot of actual writing, just a lot of editing. 30,000 or so words worth of editing :S. That's wild.
Shaun, you're too busy. :D
This week's been particularly good. I've caught up a bit on NaNo, even though I'm about 5,000 words behind right now. My word count is 4/5 of what it should be, which I guess is an improvement from how much I usually do.
I'm also psycked about my computer science class. I procrastinated and submitted my java project 10 minutes before it was due, after hoping that whatever changes I made fixed the errors. And I got full credit, because the fixes did their trick. The next project was assigned two days ago, and instead of waiting 2 weeks I did it within 2 days, and got full credit.
And today I forgot to bring my laptop's power cord to school, so with a depleted battery and heavy rain outside, I got a lot of reading (The Two Towers) and notes for my book done. It felt good.

I'm doing really horrible actually.
The short version is my car has decided it wants to die, I got lost in Oakland, CA last night...I'm grumpy because I don't have credit so getting another car isn't easy, I have an essay due...and thanksgiving is going to suck...
Me_Lia
11-19-2007, 08:36 PM
And why is thanksgiving going to suck? O.O
Hope you'll have a better week..
Um, okay. This week was short, because yesterday was only Monday (Now it's Tuesday, 4.30am in Malaysia) so there's nothing about this week worth mentioning.
Last week: Wake up really late, lunch, online, play with pet, dinner, online, sleep really late = daily
Except for church.
How was my week? You decide. :)
Shaun
11-19-2007, 08:40 PM
It's going to suck for two reasons:
1. I won't be able to go because my car is broken.
2. I'll end up going and get the "well I told you so about your car" speech and likely have to deal with all the traditions of Thanksgiving being sacrificed for political correctness or some other stupid reason...
Me_Lia
11-19-2007, 08:56 PM
Errrm... Think positive! Errrrmmmm... Errmm...... Okay, I've got nothing.
If Thanksgiving there (wherever that is) is that bad, then don't go, since your car and everything...? O.o)
Shaun
11-19-2007, 08:59 PM
Oh I'm not planning to go. I'd rather be home alone :P

I don't think I've ever seen a more selfish angry post from Imelda. :D Of course, you're joking. Er, right?

11-19-2007, 10:00 PM
No ...
Shaun
11-19-2007, 11:50 PM
Why would I spend any portion of the morning talking to you? Hmm? Is there a special reason ;)? :P
Don't worry Shaun you never know when a thanksgiving miracle will save you!;)
As for my week, well last week was a little stressful with projects and presentations being due. This week we're getting flooded with homework but atleast I have things to look forward to: using my new cellphone that got delivered this morning (-etc brag-) and the staff vs. grade 7 basketball game tomorrow.
Shaun
11-20-2007, 07:56 AM
Umm, unless my Thanksgiving miracle is a new car...grrr...or my girlfriend magically showing up at my house for the weekend...I'd take that second one over the car...
Imelda
11-20-2007, 08:48 AM
What if your girlfriend showed up with a car? :D
You know that is never going to happen, right? Don't get your hopes up ...

Well I've been pretty good, despite constant emotional feuding. I've had a cuple really good laughs calling everyone "dicklekims" and running away as they stand confused for a few minutes.
But choir and jazz choir, voice, and everything else is kicking my tired arse. I need to stop singing.
And to top off all my business, archery has started agian! RAAA! But that's more of a good thing.
