In which Pearl's pride takes a blow

Konbanwa, minna-san!

Last night I slept at 2:30, seeing as I wanted to finish a rough draft of my Mosaic Project so I could clean it up today, and I had to read some pages in my Science textbook. Then I had to get up early so I could meet my French group to practise for the presentation today. However! Although majorly sleep-deprived, I have finally managed to complete my Mosaic Project! So, I'm in quite the good mood right now.

Remote Access Trojans are very interesting. To me, at least. I was always fascinated by how the Greeks defeated the Trojans by hiding in a wooden horse. Actually, I even learned something new from this - did you know that this legend is actually a myth? Like Miria says, "Sugoi~!".

I'd like to give a big thanks to Mr. Arkin and Zarin-dono for editing my work and helping me think up an idea for a conclusion respectively. It really helped!

Ah, now this is where the title plays in. As most of you know, I'm very confident in my English skills. Mr. Arkin found grammatical errors that I didn't even know existed in my writing, so my pride took a blow. Like he said, "You look like I just ran over your cat with a steam roller". Ah, well, that made me laugh. *smile* This incident hasn't dimmed my love for the English language, and I will strive to get better and understand what I have done wrong and why, so my writing will improve!

After I finish my French and study a while for my Science test, I will devote my time to the Culminating Activity. My group members - it's been finalized - are Zarin-dono (Class C), Lisa (Class A) and Tasfia (Class A). We're going to write a manual on Selection. Everyone is brimming with ideas, and eager to contribute, so everything's going great! I feel so lucky to be in such a motivated group.

Because we are all working on our Mosaic Project tonight, the real work will most likely start tomorrow.

On that note, I'm off to study now. Or, at least, try to study.
