That's right, I'm fucking grateful I don't have school for a week, that I only have to deal with my dad for a day this weekend, and that I wont have to be bogged down by any form of homework.

Can you tell I've had a rough week month School year? I guess I'm doing well enough, but I'm not at all happy with my grades.

1^st marking period:

Orchestra: 96
CMAT: 90
Algebra II: 72
Communications Applications (speech): 88
French II: 92
Biology: 96
English II: 70
AP World History: 79

2^nd marking period:

Orchestra: 96
CMAT: 81
Algebra II: 70
Communications Applications (speech): 88
French II: 89
Biology: 94
English II: 83
AP World History: 85

Orchestra stays the same because .. well I'd have to TRY to fail that x3
Had a project I didn't finish in CMAT last six weeks
Algebra II I only passed because I worked hard as shit for 2 weeks straight
Speech I would also have to try to fail
French II I should be failing xD But what I didn't do, nobody did, so he dropped the grade >_>
Biology is another one I'd have to TRY to fail
English I actually did assignments when they were due this time!
And World History I attended a special event that bumped my grade up.

Ok, so ... I guess they're not HORRIBLE grades, I mean ... passing both times, but I HATE having anything with a 79 or below on my report cards. And while it was only one class this time, I'm still not too pleased with myself. So this six weeks, no matter how broken up it is, I'm gunning for at least, all high B's, if not most A's. (an A in AP world history is practically impossible though x.x)

Now ... on to ... contradictory news: I just got two collages gunning for me in the mail One in St. Louis xD The other was TCU (Texas Christian University), which is great and all, but their focus is on Tech, not what I'm heading towards. So that's great news!

And on a different topic, *moves away from school* Hope that I'll have a lot more time, inspiration, and willingness to do more art this week. I kept saying "I'll write more, I'll write more, I'll wri-eeeeeh, don't feel like it" and "I'll draw more, I'll draw more, I'll dra-eeeh, don't feel like it" over the summer. >< But I hope to, perhaps (and this is a goal, but most likely wont be met):

Get the next two chapters of TMC written, passed through my wonderful editor ~PurraParru, and posted.

Get at least another two, if not three, more phases into the "Phases of Nalan" project done. (next two will be the most dynamic, and then after that it'll just be smooth, minute changes)

Get most of Suite-Untitled worked on and ready to record. (I HAVE to do this, so beat the shit out of me if I don't)

And lastly, get the first chapter of The Aversai Chronicles finished. (had a random spurt of interest in it again a few days ago, so started writing again x3)

So there's my goals for this week, but knowing me, and my chat addiction (I will admit: I cannot quit whenever I want to x3) it'll prolly only be about half of that. x3

Now I'm off to my dad's, and hopefully, back by tomorrow. *fingers crossed* He's driving to N.C. for Thanksgiving, and thankfully, thankfully, I'm not being dragged with him. *has one more thing to be thankful about this Thanksgiving*

That is all. Nalan, signing off.
