Well, today I missed class because I had a X-Country meet.
Somehow, I'm regretting it.
I got some information from my friend, but I'm still not completely sure exactly what we're supposed to do. I typed out a Basic Computer Glossary with all the terms she gave me, but apparently we were supposed to get a handout as well - which I never got.
I checked the Daily Log, but the information there was pretty vague. Hopefully I did the right thing!
Tomorrow, I'll have to ask Mr. Arkin to briefly explain to me what happened yesterday and clear things up. I also need to get the handout. I hope he doesn't get mad...
On another note, I managed to get into FileZilla again today! Heh...that website really helped...
Ah, well, I'm off to finish writing my story for the Panther Press. My deadline's tomorrow, and I want to finish it today. Looks like I'm not going to get a lot of sleep...

Am I a bringer of bad luck?
Okay, so Mr. Arkin figured out the problem I had with my superpower assignment. And, it turns out that someone else had put their assignment in my folder. When I found out, I was filled with a mixture of relief and anger. Don't get me wrong, I'm not particularily angry at the person who did that, whoever it was; but it would've been nice to have known that a few days ago. I actually lost sleep over it...
And now, I tried connecting to FileZilla, but apparently the username and password were incorrect? How could that be? I tried all the different combinations possible, in case I got it wrong...but it still doesn't work. I guess I'll have to talk to Mr. Arkin...oh wait, I'm not here tomorrow. ARGH!!! I guess I'll have to email him about it.
Why am I so unlucky?
Anyways, today we continued working on the Class Glossary. Thankfully, one of my classmates put up a list of glossary terms - about 34 in all. Apparently, it's due at 10pm, but...yeah, I'll have to email Mr. Arkin. Well, I plan on finishing it before nine, because a new episode of Criminal Minds is airing at 9pm on CTV. And I'm not missing that.
Oh, another thing worth mentioning: Lab 218 got a sign! It has everyone's name on it, no matter what class they're in! I found myself staring in awe at it for a full ten seconds...or so.
As for Studio 218, I don't know what we're going to do! I guess I can borrow a CD from the library tomorrow, but I'm not sure...
Anyways, I'm off to work now!
Ja ne!

Mm...I'm experiencing a case of forgetfulness...
Maybe it's because I actually slept for more than seven hours last night...
Yes...that must be it...I always feel sleepier in the day if I get more sleep at night...
CS was last period today. (Ah, a funny story - at my expense: I actually thought that the schedule for today was D, C, B, A...so I ended up standing outside the wrong classroom for ten minutes. Thank God it was a late start!) It was sort of nice, because today's class was very laidback and relaxing.
We continued to work on our Class Glossary. My partner and I spent the first ten minutes or so brainstorming more definitions, then we set to work, progressing on our own glossaries respectively. Last night, when I typed out the skeleton, I hadn't put the terms in alphabetical order - I was rushing it, since I had needed to leave soon. So I did that during class today! Ha...it was easier than I thought it would be...I'm just happy I didn't have to retype everything. Now, I have to validate it.
Actually, before I do that, I want to look up formal definitions and add them into the HTML. Yep, that's my homework for tonight.
I find Dropbox amazing and incredibly useful. Now I can access my fics and stories, as well as my drawings (once I download Gimp) from any computer. It'll be so much easier for me to work on them!
Mr. Arkin also informed us about Lab 235, which is open every day at lunchtime. I plan on going there at one point this semester, because I normally have nothing to do at lunch except sit down and read, draw or write. (Which reminds me! I wrote a Durarara!! drabble this morning. I need to type it out and post it up.)
Hehe, sorry for getting side-tracked. I'll be going now. Mm...I smell dinner! Om nom nom...

Confusion...Yes...Lots of confusion...
Ah, well...today I told Mr. Arkin about my missing work.
He looked for it on his computer, and it worked perfectly fine...
Then I relaxed. It's a good thing I had CS first thing in the morning, or this would be bothering me for the whole day.
But...I just checked my website again. And...the link still doesn't work...
So I looked at the source code, and it was correct! I don't know why my superpower assignment won't show up. It's really frustrating. I'm so confused...am I going to get a zero?
At this point, I've gotten over my anger and I've just gone into resignation. I give up...though this really does give me a bad feeling. I don't like it.
---
Anyways.
Today we learnt about different HTML lists. There are three types of them: ordered, unordered and definition. Ordered lists use numbers, unordered lists use bullets and definition lists look similar to a dictionary. After the lesson was over, we got into partners and brainstormed definitions for the Class Glossary.
My partner and I were doing our best! We managed to get eighteen definitions, though there are much more. After I finish writing this, I'll type out a skeleton for the Class Glossary we'll have live on the web. I'll also have to create a Dropbox account.
Sorry about the length of this entry. I'm pretty busy tonight (so much homework!) and I want to leave by 6pm at the latest. Nn...
Ja ne!

Anger...and Fear..
...It's gone.
All my work's gone.
Excuse my language please: Where the hell did it go?
It was working perfectly fine yesterday! I checked! Argh...I don't want to get a zero...
I really hate my life.
---
Anyways, Mr. Arkin told us to reflect on our work. I guess I'll do that now.
I spent the past two weeks working extremely hard on my superpower assignment. I encountered many problems, but managed to fix them all. As I had stated in previous blog entries, I finished the written part of my story the first week. The next week was spent perfecting it.
*sighs in exasperation* Last night, I checked my website, to make sure everything was working. It was fine! And now...it's gone. All my hard work...Hopefully, if I explain this to Mr. Arkin, he'll understand? No...this is high school...he probably won't.
And now, I'll bow out and wallow in self-pity.
All my work's gone.

Could it really be? I have nothing to do! Read on!
Q: What do you do for an hour and ten minutes when you already finished everything the day before?
A: Write your blog entry so you don't have to do it on the weekend!
Yes...It's Friday, and the Superpower Assignment is officially due. All around me, my classmates are scrambling to put the finishing touches on their work and upload it. Me? I'm calmly typing this out while pandaemonium is happening around me. See, this is the benefit of finishing everything before the deadline. (Haha, actually, I was pretty much finished by last week! These past few days were spent putting the finishing touches on my web page, as well as marking my partner's work and making sure mine was marked.)
Hm, you know what would make this even funnier? If I suddenly whipped out a cup of tea and daintly started to sip from it! (Haha...the influence manga and anime have over me...)
Ah...well, I'm trying to pass the time with this, so bear with me and my horrible sense of humour.
Mr. Arkin said that we had to have everything up by 10pm tonight. Well, this doesn't really affect me, but my partner has to uploaded a revised version of the Peer Marking Scheme. I'm not worried, though - I fully believe that she won't disappoint me.
Update! She's almost there! Come on, come on...
Sometimes I feel like connecting to FileZilla is like a day at the New York Tax Exchange (is it that one? I can't remember...hopefully I'm right.) Everyone's trying to be heard, and it's almost like a full-out war.
Update...er, number two! She did it! Hooray! *jumps up and cheers*
What else is there to say? (For those of you actually spending your precious time reading this, I love you! Haha...maybe you could also devote some of that time to reading...my fanfic? *nudge nudge wink wink* Make sure you leave a review!)
Oh yes! It's Friday today, so that means we're in Studio 218, not Lab 218! Hooray! Our class put together an amazing playlist, which can be found here. Right now, Bad Romance is on. Haha...such good memories come back...I miss my friends from middle school...
Maybe next week I can bring in a japanese CD! I know the library has Ayumi Hamasaki...but I wish that they had anime OSTs. Anime songs are epic. *grins*
Anyways, I should shut up now. I probably wasted, what - ten minutes? - of your time already. Since my mind is already on manga and anime, I'm going to pull a language switch and say:
Ja ne!
P.S. Google it if you don't understand. Google's awesome like that. (You probably won't find it on any japanese-english dictionary websites, it's slang...sort of)

A short blog entry? No! It's killing me...
Mm...today's blog entry will be incredibly short. (To my dismay!)
It saddens me. I love long blog entries, stories/fics, series, news articles, letters, etc.
Maybe because of my inability to shut up when writing? I even try to make my fics at least 1000 words long!
...Is that a bad thing?
Well, like I said, I finished my superpower autobiography yesterday. And...
I lied. I'm sorry. *seppuku*
I actually changed some things in it today. Again. Heh...no one's perfect, right?
Well...yeah, as to what I changed: the margins of my web page. Mr Arkin said that margins are usually written in percentages. So I had to alter them.
Then...I waited for Randi to finish fixing up her autobiography. When she was finished, we finally got to the peer marking stage! I was actually pretty nervous. I absolutely despise getting marks. I mean, what's wrong with doing this just for the sake of learning? There don't have to be tests! They just stress students out!
Come on, I'm not the only one saying this! ...Right?
Anyways, that's all for today. (Look how short it is! *cries uncontrollably*) Tomorrow's friday, which means...Studio 218! I want to contribute...but I have no way of knowing if the music I have is..."good"...or not. Lisa, one of my friends (in another class) said that she volunteered to be the DJ - and she's playing the Sr. Band CD from last year! (We went to the same school five years in a row, and we're still together even in high school! Can you say "BFF"?) Ha! My response: "Self-promotion! Yay!"
Right. I'll shut up now. Okay! I can't wait for Studio 218!!!
