Quick Updates & Overview Of Summer;

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of logging in and updating. Finals are this week and I've been cramming. Good news though! Summer is just 6 days away. Then we can all just kick back and relax, and enjoy the sun and pool. 8)
NOT FOR ME. D:<
Lucky me, I have summer school. The plus side of this is that I have P.E. and I get to lose weight all over again! This means I'll be sexy again, like I was last summer. :) I'm just hoping JCHS P.E. is just as rigorous as it was at Kapolei. That school's P.E. teacher is downright hardcore.
Here's the layout:
6/12 (Thursday) - First day of summer school.
7/10 (Thursday) - Last day of summer school.
Starts at 7:50, ends at 2:20pm.
Yeah, Kapolei summer school was much more strict. Oh well.

Maple Withdrawal.

Cakelicist Puff Daddy says that in all of his years tranferring from one MapleStory to another, he has never seen such obsession in all of his life.
"Rawr rawrr rawrrrrr," he says, "Rawr rawrr rawrrrrr ra-rawr rawr-ra-ra-rawrrr."

Other MapleStory bosses agree.
"AAAAAAAHHHH~!" says Alishar, Ludibrium PQ Boss. "AH AHHHHH AHHHHHHHHH~!" However, he doesn't get paid too many visits since Monster Carnival emerged.

I have no clue what that previous passage was about. Hehe. I'm sitting in Sue's class all boredlike... it's not even funny. Egh. I'm listening to Jay make fat jokes about Kevan. It's like he has a never-ending list of comebacks for Kevan, when Kevan has nothing. Man, I want to get on MapleStory so badly...

Social and Academic Stance: All-State and Grades

Hey guys, been falling behind on updating (not like you'd really care, I'm the only one that reads these blogs haha.) but there's not too much to talk about.

I checked HASMB's site for updates, and they uploaded the formation numbers for all the people that showed up at the first rehearsal. It's broken into sections within sections, first by instruments, then by islands. So I checked for flutes on my island, and lo and behold, Lina ranked 6th out of 17 flutes on the island! Hooray! :) Next rehearsals coming up in about five or four weeks, and my flute trill is STILL busted. Remember kids, procrastination is not the way to go. Need to get that fixed soon.

I'm sitting in Sue's class right now, waiting for my animations to be done rendering (although that won't be finished for another hour). It's absolutely rediculous! One hour for ONE SECOND to render. Outrageous.

I'm back on Gaia, by the way. I haven't been on in a while, but I'm back on. Jana, without giving me warning, ended up sending me the oculus mythica, and I'm now inspired to create an L look-alike since they have his eyes on there. Just lovely.

Absolutely no surprise here. Hehe. Where the hell did all my A's go? Need to work on that.

The Link Between ABD & Math Class

Scientific research on the link between a severe disorder called ABD and all math classes in general have been conducted for many years by a professor in Ewa Beach, Hawaii. She concludes that the reason WHY the two are linked are more than obvious. Here is her synopsis:

The illness Acute Boredom Disorder, or ABD, is the disorder in which an individual suffers from a severe case of boredom. ABD is most commonly found in people ranging from the ages 8 to 19. The worst cases have been found in teens, especially 10th graders. More specifically, all have shown the worst cases of ABD in their math classes.

Research shows that students find any form of math unattractive, and become subject to sleeping in class and playing with their pencils rather than doing their mathwork. "All those numbers and rules and stuff," says one 10th grader in James Campbell High School (name will remain anonymous) "Are just so overwhelming. I can't help but fall asleep."

This anonymous student isn't the only one who agree. A recent poll shows that majority of the public school sophomores agree with the claim. The problem remains the same: how to get students more involved in their math class. Some therapists suggest involving your students in the lesson, or presenting the unit in a way that the children can connect. But still students show minor response.

ABD is not terminal, but it is very contagious. Contact with a student that has ABD-A (the worst case of ABD, level one) can cause serious side effects like side track, procrastination, and bad study habits. Most parents are unaware of their children being stricken by this illness, because the disease is rarely ever demonstrated at home.

"Hell if I knew my kid had ABD," says one parent. "She's never bored on Maple, so I've never noticed it. I HAVE noticed that she has no life, but that's beside the topic. Never have I seen my child bored. Never."

So as common and widespread as this virus is, there still is no cure and no solution. The world will just have to live with Acute Boredom Disorder until some solution is found.

Took me a week to come up with this bullshit, hahaha. Started it in Huycks, completed it in Sueokas a week later.

Sleeping In Graphics

...because Sueoka isn't here today, and I'm done with all my Bryce modeling.
I believe I've been struck with a minor case of insomnia, because last night I was unable to sleep until 2am.
I swear, I have something like Restless Spine Syndrome... or something of that craft.
It's like Restless Leg Syndrome, but with my back. I tried everything, too. I tried sleeping upside down on my bed,
halfway OFF my bed, on the carpet, downstairs on the couch...
Then I just passed out of exhaustion. -_-;;






lmao, nevermind. I have animation to do.
Hopefully I don't pass out like I did in History.
Jaa ne~

One Fine Day In Sueoka's Class

I've been having wonderful discussions about MapleStory lately. It's great, because new people are getting into it along with the old crew again. I've counted Mark, D-Chan, Vinh, and Jana are back into the game. Now Lerma, Ashleigh D, Pat, & now Destiny are now playing. This is great.
But what sucks is that Ashleigh is only lvl 15, but she has 500k but never spends it. o-o;;
Yeah, she's a rich newb.





Graphics Bryce Due Dates:

Modeling & background (all in separate scenes) - Wednesday, May 7th
All animations rendered BY - Thursday, May 15th
Final Edited with music, titles, & sound effects - Monday, May 19th




Finally decided upon my animation storyline. It's oh-so-cliche`, but it's better than any other idea I've had.
Boy meets girl, he gives her his heart, they fall in love, get married, go on honeymoon, then on a nice day out ex-boyfriend finds her and shoots at her, he takes the bullet, he dies, she cries, she visits grave four years later with daughter.
Yeah, I was inspired by Curbside Love by Jason Steele lol. Kinda cheesy.
