Enter Shikari was your gateway drug. lol
I hope the next gen iPhones have a better white colored model, I would have got the white 3GS but it doesn't match with the front of the phone/backround of main menu like the black does.

I just lashed out on my earbuds after losing an extreme match of Glow Hockey because I couldn't move my finger around the screen accurately/comfortably. Apple better get this carp straightened out before releasing that almost confirmed tablet. I think it may be due to the callusy and dry nature of the skin on my hands. IDK what to do, carry some moisturizer around with me?

there is either something wrong with your iphones or you fingers lol. i've had mine for a year and a half, i don't even think i've ever washed the screen, and i still haven't experienced something like that
I guess I'll post it here. I've decided to step down as a moderator for obvious reasons. Waning interest in the game/other commitments in life have reduced the amount of time I can and want to spend dealing with administrative duties. A lack of motivation is only a detriment when trying to push a project to the best it can be.

I'll still post, but won't be as active in the game itself.

I'm sad to hear this Khel, I hope you do well in whatever you chose to do next.
Not that surprising. I think a lot of us have been feeling the same way as you.
wow really sorry to hear that khel, well good luck in your future endeavors.
Everybody should do physics : I find Beyblade even better now that I have started writing about it, hah.
I've been so tired lately, and things are only going to get worse with exams this week, meh. Thankfully Law is incredibly easy, Digital Studio is easy, so my only real concern is History. Thankfully, I have a day to study between Law and History, as I don't have an exam for my second period class, Peer Tutoring.

The worst though, getting my braces on the day of the History exam, double whammy.
My grade 12 English (University) teacher is insane.

For our mid-term exam we had to write an academic essay on one of the short stories we read, citing what theories from Northrop Frye's The Educated Imagination were present in that story. In one period. I somehow managed to finish, but most of the class did not, and subsequently failed or did quite poorly.

Now, for our final exam today, we had a similar task. Except this time we had to write an essay comparing Andrew Miller's essay, Tragedy and the Common Man to two texts; Robertson Davies' Fifth Business, Hamlet, or one of the short stories we read during the semester, while also citing how some of Northrop Frye's theories apply. We had one day to read Miller's essay, prepare quotes, and write notes (on a sheet of paper she would collect at the end of the period). So, in this one period she expected us to create an outline for our each paragraph of our essay, and in my case look through The Educated Imagination, Fifth Business, The Scarlet Ibis, and Tragedy and the Common Man for suitable quotes. Then the next day for writing the essay. What made this worse, besides the fact that Tragedy and the Common Man is a much harder piece of literature to understand in the short amount of time given (75 minutes; much of that had to be dedicated to finding quotes however. But even so, I was unable to find enough, since surprise; I didn't fully understand the essay after reading it once!), was that she did not allow us to take the texts, or our sheet home with us; something she did allow us for our mid-term exam.

I managed to finish the introduction, two body paragraphs, and a very poor start to my third paragraph. Like those who didn't complete the mid-term essay, I will lose a substantial amount of marks for not completing it, and my final mark for the course will likely go down. This is not what I am concerned with though; it is the impossible task she gave us that irritates me. It isn't that I couldn't write the essay, there was many moments between my frantic scribbling upon the page that I had great ideas of what to write, but excluded it for the sake of brevity.

tl;dr: For my English exam I had to write an academic essay comparing four complex pieces of literature in one period, after only being allotted one period to takes notes, which I was not allowed to take home for the night. Speechless
finnished watching gundam seed destiny it was kinda dissapointing and could have been alot better.I didnt like the soundtrack compared to seed.The story took awhile to make sense to me and it was anouying bits that were ment to make you feel sad werent as hard hitting to me as the sad bits in seed.Also it took along time for kira to apear in the series and actully fight.

The ending realy wasnt as good as i hoped lucky i have final plus which is the extended ending which made the ending alot better.Although its sort of a rip off playing 100$ for a full series then having to buy another 30$ dvd to get the full ending.

But there were some good parts that i did enjoy,i realy like shinns relationship with luna and did find stellers death sort of sad but it was no where near as sad for me as mu's "death" in seed.I also quite enjoyed the mecha and the battles in this series.IMO it is a good series just no where near as good as it could have been compared to how lovely seed is.
Gundam wing <-- Best Gundam series IMO

Bring it up with the administration. If everyone failed there is quite obviously something not being done correctly here. I know students are often hesitant to do this but you'd be surprised how effective it can be.
ugh saw something on the news that makes me disgusted i dont understand why people can be so cruel towards animals Uncertain
Law exam, wish me luck, or not...

Good luck. Smile

Was it the baby seals thing? I forget if that's this time of year...
Bear(bare?) in mind that those companies get their donations from making you feel guilty and sorry for the animals. Also bear in mind that lots of farm animals such as cows and chickens also get mistreated; it's not just the cute ones like cats or dogs.
Apparently I didn't need Pikachao's luck afterall (I was finished the exam by then, lol). I finished the two hour exam in no more then 45 minutes with a guaranteed 80%. It was easiest exam I have ever finished. Out of 80 marks, 40 were true and false, 20 were multiple choice, 15 were matching, and a one page essay was worth 5 marks. Grade 11 Mixed Law shouldn't be that easy, lol.

I'll save that luck for Wednesday when I have not only the Grade 11 History exam, but my braces...
