So, Michael and I are working on an ongoing novel. It's fantasy. Yeah. Looking for editors/contributors.

Hmm, plans need to be changed, might have to intervene. Why can't this be easier. It seems like it's gonna be hit and miss...

I think I'm feeling kinda ill.

Back from Science Olympiad Nationals competition. We placed 30th overall out of 60 teams competing, which is extremely good for it being our first time. We even medaled in an event. I should sound more enthusiastic, but I'm tired and I am feeling a distraught over . . . something. I probably need to just sleep on it. It's really messing with my mind. I feel like I've been dishonest to some people, so to speak. Not in that I have lied but in that I have omitted things. This could lead to some very unwanted confusion and cause harm to certain parties, including myself. I am also afraid that things will get akward if I do attempt to make changes, which I don't want. As you can see, I'm being pretty obtuse about this. I'm not sure that I'm ready to divulge specifics who's and what's.

Oh what a tangled web we weave,

I rescind the note about no memory card slots on the Revolution. Also appears as though wired controllers will be supported too. Ports look similar to Gamecube's and are on the side of the Revolution, so may just be for backward compatiblity.

After looking into E3 today, here is what I have to say:
-The new XBox 360 looks sleeker than its predecessor, but still like a computer. If I painted one of the school computers white and replaced the Dell logo with a glowing green X, they'd look the same. Likely the most versatile system.
-The new PS3 wins hands down so far in the graphics arena - VERY impressive (Gran Turismo seems to be like a lucid dream). Controller seems to have alien influence.
-The new Revolution definitely is the chic-est of the three. It's tiny, rectangular, shiny-black like a PSP, and has a glowing blue disc slot. I predict, as of now, that specs will include a built-in hard-drive as games from previous Nintendo consoles will be downloadable and I didn't see any slots for memory cards. The emphasis on wireless also makes me think there may be a wireless TV hookup, but I'm really unsure about that. No sight of controllers yet.

Another project, but in physics this time. I find modern physics much more amenable that the physics that we have covered in class, so this should be interesting. Now to decide between the Hercules laser, or maybe the possible non-existence of dark matter.

Another project to do, but not so bad, cause it's about modern physics, which is more my thing than the physics we've studied. Now to decide between the Hercules Laser or possible non-existence of dark matter.

I never thought I would say this, but I think I am actually coming to greatly dislike, even hate, the last few weeks of school. I have two projects currently and I will be useless for both of them after Tuesday of next week, so I have basically no time to work on them.

So with Physics B done, that's 5 AP's down and 1 to go, Spanish Literature. Don't really know what to expect, most afraid of essay time length and reading. But that's on Friday.

Switched to a more mellow template. Other one was a bit imposing.
