Fried or scrambled?

Today, I've had a Beowulf test, derivative test, Frankenstein quiz, trebuchet launching, aggregate expenditure test, and una prueba de los partes del cuerpo, and I'm functioning on less than an hour of sleep. My brain has been thoroughly fried and scrambled, and spell check is flagging practically every word I type.

And I have the SAT tomorrow. Blehhhhh.

In other news, the shirts that I designed for choir came in today, and they're super rad. I'll post pictures as soon as I get a new camera.

I'm going looney.

On Wednesday, the moon was the brightest it has been for over twenty years because Autumnal Equinox coincided with the full moon. And it was crazy bright--you couldn't even make out a distinct shape. If you didn't catch it, it's okay... there will be another one in 2029.



In Calculus, my table is making it our personal mission to sample the strangest foods in existence. Typically, our class vegan brings us various meat substitutes and I supply the craisins, hummus, and assorted vegetables.

On Thursday, we were talking about the super harvest moon, and Winston, the Chinese kid, brought up that his family eats moon cakes on the autumnal equinox. I replied that I didn't know what they were.

And so today, four of the five champs at our table (excluding the vegan, as there is a giant egg yolk in the middle) sampled a moon cake. Delicious. I recommend.

My Fatigue is Showing!

I checked my grades today, and I noticed that my grades decrease as the day progresses. Perhaps I get so worn out by the end of the day that I don't put through the effort? Or maybe my classes get progressively harder? Strange. (Are you confused as to how I have a higher grade in AP Calculus than Choir? So am I.)



In other news, season 4 of Gossip Girl premiered! However, this episode was purely mediocre. It seems like this is the exact same plot with Blair as the beginning of season 2, where she was dated a royal who was trying not to show that he was a royal, but she ended up falling for him because he spilled the beans. Writer's block? I don't know how I feel about this Juliet plot--they always give Nate these relationships that are completely irrelevant to anyone but Nate (i.e. Bree, Vanessa in the beginning). Don't get me wrong, I love me some Nate Archibald, but the show could easily progress without him. Or Vanessa, for the matter--what exactly was the point of her being in this episode? She served literally no purpose whatsoever, other than to show that Jessica Szohr is still in the cast. Since the character was introduced, she's just been... there. I think the Georgina drama is way overdone: she leaves, comes back saying that she's changed, and then people cause her to go crazy and she ruins everybody's lives. And then she comes back, and does it again. Basically, everything that did not involve Chuck Bass was poop.

All in all, I was not impressed with the bulk of it, but the ending was fairly strong. By the way, how is it possible that Ed Westwick and Hugh Laurie can make a cane look attractive?
