I think this is the fastest a week has gone by for me in a really long time. The irony is that I spent most of it sick. I'm usually complaining about how long days are if I'm feeling really bad, but this time it flew by quicker than normal.
I gave a presentation on synesthesia in AP English today. I was so nervous. I actually think I did worse than I did on the presentation I gave in current events last Friday. Two of us presented today, and mine was a lot shorter. I feel as if I didn't have enough information, and I definitely stumbled over my words while talking. I'm glad I'm done with presentations for the foreseeable future.
For some reason Ji got cupcakes today. She cadets in the guidance office and the secretary just gave her two of them. For some unexplainable reason Ji didn't want them, and she gave both of them today. I can tell you that having a red velvet cupcake for a mid-morning snack is pretty awesome. (Red velvet is one of the very few types of cake I like, and I absolutely love it.)
Tomorrow my mom and I are driving up to Indianapolis for an interview with a college. At least we're supposed to. It was sleeting a little earlier, and it's supposed to keep up with that all night. My mom doesn't want to drive up there if the weather's still bad. There are only two interview days, and we got assigned the date and time, so I don't know what will happen if we can't go up there. This isn't my top choice school (and this is for a scholar program, not to get into the school), but it's still a really nice school. It's definitely still an option, and getting into the program would be nice. Plus, I hate saying I'll go and then not showing up. I guess we'll just have to see what the weather does...

Almost Better (Again)
I'm starting to get over being sick (for the third time this winter...), but I still don't feel all that great. I'm amazed the week is going by as quickly as it is. Usually days drag on when I'm sick. I'm hoping I'll wake up tomorrow feeling perfectly fine, but I'm not so sure that'll be the case.
Our AP English class is being taped tomorrow. I'm not really sure why. The teacher said it had something to do with teacher evaluations, and it's going to be shown to people around the school district. She's apparently been here longer than any (or at least most) of the other teachers in the schoo district, and they're using her as an example or something. Anyway, it should be interesting to see how that goes. She chose us because we're AP and less likey to embarass her I think. I know no one's going to do something on purpose, but I hope nothing happens that makes her look bad.
We began playing our current events quiz show games/thing in current events again, and we got to keep the same teams. I'm really glad. Our grades rely on how well we do on that game, and I don't want to be switched to a team that never wins. I do feel bad for the ones on the team that always seems to come in last though...

How the Internet Changes Things
This is another blog post posted from my phone.
Do you have things about you that you think most people would be surprised to know about you? I'm so shy that I sometimes wonder what people think I'm like. I don't mean that in an "are they judging me?" way. I just wonder if they would be surprised if they knew what I was like when I'm not shy.
I think a lot of people know I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. I tend to give that away pretty soon. I do wonder if they'd be surprised if they knew sone of the other things I'm interested in though.
Now that people from school are starting to follow me on twitter (and I post links to here and my YouTube channel on there), I don't think it's as surprising anymore. I know at least a few people from school have discovered my videos, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them had read something on here too.
It's interesting since they might be learning more about me on here then they do at school since I'm so quiet. I tend to forget so many people from school even have twitter accounts now until they mention it. (Good thing I don't talk bad about anyone.) It's interesting, but not necessarily bad in my opinion. It's just one of the ways the Internet has changed the world.

Sick Yet Again
Today has not been a good day. I woke up sick enough to be miserable but not sick enough to stay home from school. I had a done to get done today, and very little of it got done because it was so difficult for me to focus. I've gradually started feeling better as the day has gone on. I can only hope I wake up feeling perfectly fine tomorrow. Based on how I feel now I doubt it though. I have work tomorrow, and when I get home, there's several things I need to do that I didn't get done today.
I just deleted about half of what I wrote. It's all stuff that I know I wouldn't write if I didn't feel so horrible right now, so I made myself delete it. I'm having trouble thinking of anything right now, so I'm just going to end this here. Hopefully tomorrow's a much better day.

Naruto Review: Episodes 184-186
This post is going to be a review of episodes 184, 185, and 186 of Naruto. These are each stand-alone episodes that don't belong in an arc. I'm just going to give some of my thoughts on each episode.
Episode 184 is called Kiba's Long Day. I found this episode really sad. It's about Kiba and Akamaru going on a mission and Akamaru (I can't remember what happened to cause it) kind of losing himself and starting to hurt people. It was hard to watch in places. I find Akamaru absolutely adorable and watching him in pain and turning mean was hard. The hardest parts to watch though were Kiba's reaction to everything. It may have been a pointless episode, but it almost had me in tears.
The next episode is called A Legend from the Hidden Leaf: the Onbaa. I found most of this episode incredibly weird. There's no other way to describe it. I mean it's about Naruto carrying some strange creature around on his back because it refuses to get off. At first I thought it was cute, but then the thing started growing. By the time its feet were dragging on the ground and Naruto was still carrying him, it just weirded me out. I did think it was kind of cute how he saved Naruto in the end though. Overall, it was just a strange episode.
Episode 186 was called Laughing Shino. This episode was a bit weird as well but nothing like 185. I don't know if this is something that actually happens in Japan sometimes, but the concept of sending a representative in your place to funeral just seems weird to me. If you're able to go to the funeral (especially if it's for your father) shouldn't you go regardless of what the will says? The laughing drug was also a bit weird, but that was nothing compared to the funeral. Everyone attempting to make Naruto laugh was just strange. I wasn't at all surprised when the man turned out to really be alive. It wasn't a horrible episode, but it definitely wasn't that great.
