Sleep
Well it seems like I have been getting some sleep lately, and that seems to be a bad thing. I don't know, but whenever I have a "good" sleep, when I wake up I feel more tired than I did before. Like now. It's nearly 1 in the morning and only an hour ago I was nearly ready to drop dead. That hour ago feeling has lasted all day and it's annoying as shit. It seems I've gone past tired and I've just crept up alongside being awake again, but I know tomorrow (or should I say later today) I'm going to be really, really tired. But oh well, I'm looking forward for what I'm going to do today. After school, and when dad comes home with his car, I'll be off to find some money (hopefully I have enough, I've yet to really work out if I have the total amount needed in my bank) and then pay off my amp. I just worked it out then, going by me having like $45 in my bank, that I'm going to be $4 short of $139. What the fuck. Damn shit fuck. Hopefully I'll get more money than what I thought I would last week and that it will be in there by the time I go and get money out. If it isn't I'm going to be really pissed off, because I've been looking forward to playing music loud with my sub going.

Talking about being pissed off, I went to see what kind of things they were selling for half life 2. If you hadn't noticed, it was released today (unlocked, I just can't buy the bastard), and I was looking forward to seeing how much the collectors edition was going to be selling for, or something like that. I think it was just that I wanted to touch the box and I'd be set until my birthday. But that didn't happen. So grr. I had forgotten that they were suppose to release it going by american time, and when I went to see what they had, it was only like 10pm on the 15th in seattle. I was kind of sad because I was a day early, and now that I've been reading the reviews and the "behind the scenes" articles on it, I wish I could be playing it now. I know it is going to be a bad thing for me to get it this week and next week because all I'd be doing is play it, and I find no room to study or finish off my assignments. I'd find time, but the time would be around this time in the morning and I'd be hard pressed to do a good job on it.

So I found out what I was getting for legal today, only because there has been four assessable assignments in for a whole term, and I had finished the last one on sunday night and handed in it. I find out I got a 16/20 for the class, I'd probably have a 17 for the class if the bitch of a teacher that marked my second last assignment knew what the fuck she was doing. It was obvious she knew nothing, because she said I had to place the date I view the website in the bibliography which is crap, because... it's pointless, YOU STUPID WHORE. Oh, and she was marking from a sheet which made absolutely no sense at all. So I just gave up on her. I know my 15+ marks in english, legal, and history are going to be ignored when my parents read my report at the end of the term. They are going to be like, oi, why did you only just pass math, chemisty and biology? I'd just reply, because I'm lazy. Then I'd have the whole school and computer lecture again. Because I asked them if they'd buy me half life 2 for my birthday, they'd say (after reading my test results) that I shouldn't be spending my time on the computer, and that I should be doing my assignment. What the fuck? I have like, a whole of 8 weeks of nothing, what am I going to do during then? If it was in the middle of the year, then maybe. But not when all my classes are finished and I have to start a new course next year. They have it set in their mind that I start year 12 courses at the end of this year, and that the last couple of weeks are there because year 12 starts next year. Well, you are wrong. They may do it elsewhere, but there is still stuff being taught to me at the last couple of weeks (which is stupid, whatever happened to the time to study for the exams?).

Well, I now know that we are getting an xbox for christmas. Today I caught my mum shopping for carry cases for the xbox (I was at work and she thought I was suppose to be home, hehe). It wasn't the kind of quick pick up and see what it feels like, it was the pick up, see how much it is, see what other colours there are, preceed to think about it and put it back. Believe me, if we don't end up getting an xbox, I'm going to rip apart the ps2 and force it to work.

So I might go and sleep for a little bit until I have to get back up and go to school.

Actually, the teacher is correct. By Harvard standards, websites listed in a biblography must include the date you viewed the site, so when the teacher goes to access it, if its changed, you won't be marked bad for it.

Well I just stuck my foot in my mouth then. I always thought it there wasn't a date, then the date shouldn't be put in there. Who's to say that it does get updated and the updated date isn't put on there.

But oh well.
