Drivers Education
Guess where I have gone for the past three nights? Well, that's damn obvious - OtakuBoards! Oh yeah, and then I go off to Drivers Ed for an hour or two...or three. I guess it's alright; I mean, the teacher is cool, but there's just something about being stuck in a classroom for a long time over and above the 6 hours I get in school. And then at the end of the day, we have to do worksheets and take tests on something he barely covered. Some of the worksheets I didn't even finish, but luckily I havn't got less than an 80 on my test, had I done so I would have to take the final test. Eh, there's always the chance that I'll screw up sometime in the next 6 classes. As for the driving itself, I'm schedualed to drive the day before I leave to Cali, and the two days after I return.
I did my speech on The Matrix universe last Monday in English class, and I thought I did pretty good. I was able to memorize all that I needed to, and rarely messed up, and then I had this awsome visual where I passed around jellybeans (red or blue pill). Although the girls were able to see how "cute" my visual was, I guess the teacher saw what crap the rest of my presentation was and gave me an 83. Not the worst grade, but I thought I did good! I even kept within the time limit...
I talked to Art today as I was coming out of, wait for it...Art! He's the vice-president of my school's anime club, and he told me that the sponsor we have now will be able to host it right from the start next year, and I will get to be the vice-president! Yay! Not surprising, though, considering the amount of anime I curently own. Which reminds me...I need to get a bunch more anime; I havn't got any for a while.
I think that's it for a while. I was hoping to get the Animatrix, but no dice. Oh, and if anyone out there knows how I would put up my archive in this layout, halla back.

Matrix is Still on the Mind
Hey, it seems that I'm not able to update this nearly as much as I'd like to. Oh well, when I get a chance to write something, I will.
I beat the Matrix game shortly after my last blog post, and then I beat it with Niobe after that. The game is very easy, just time consuming when going through the whole thing. I expected Niobe's file to be a whole different storyline, but to my disapointment, 60% of it at least is the exact same as Ghost's. It added some more cut-scenes, and expanded on the story, but I just didn't want to do it all over again. Of course, I ended up doing it anyway, and then I saw the movie again. Now everything is making a whole lot more sense, and I'm thinking about writing a book on it over the summer. In school, I'm planning on doing my speech in English tommarrow about The Matrix universe, and on Friday I had people in my Algebra II class rate the movie from 1-10. Don't worry; these were both mandatory assignments, I just decided to do them on The Matrix. The Animatrix is coming out this Tuesday, which I am planning to get no matter what. It is composed of 9 short Matrix-like films created by the greatest anime directors of our time, including the men behind Cowboy Bebop and Princess Mononoke.
Last week I went on a little vacation, which was cool. On Friday, I got out of school early to head up to Pennsylvania, where we spent the night in a hotel and went to my Dad's Mom's family reunion the next day. There, it was alright, but after a few hours, it got kind of boring since we were the youngest there. We went back home (5 hours away) that afternoon and spent the night in our own beds, and fed the cats. Then on Sunday, we turned right back around and went to the beach, which I havn't been to since last Summer. We had a fun time staying in the beach house, but it was cloudy on Sunday and Monday so we couldn't go to the beach. On Tuesday, we extended our vacation at the beach, and the sun finally came out. We spend a good hour on the beach, and even though the water was much too cold for swimming, we had a good time. That afternoon, we came on home.
School was a nightmare for the first few days of the week. I had to make up work for my classes for a day that a missed, sometimes two days since I left early on Friday as well. I think I'm back on track by now, though. Oh, and we found this instant messenger type of thing in my computer class, used for Networked computers. That junk is tight, lol. :-p
Probably the biggest news that I have is that I am starting Driver's Ed on Monday, so that I can get a certificate that allows me to then get my learners. I better get good at Gran Turismo 3 in the meantime; I hear drivers are better if they have played driving video games. Something about looking ahead or something, as long as it gives me an excuse to play video games, I don't care.
