Ha, I've fell asleep in class once. Aparently it was the whole class period too >.> But I wasn't alone! The whole class aperently fell asleep while we were taking our tests. Boy was she nice and easy to pry answers to questions to. We'd ask and she'd say nothing. We'd ask again and she gave us the answers. And I ended up with As everytime ;D

Smooth. But were you snoring? And besides, it's not so bad if you're not alone. *shrugs* Nice teacher, though.  |

I feel all alone over here. I have another three full weeks of school. Not that I mind, but I have a feeling I'll miss a lot as you all have more time to rp.

Yay for C.S. Lewis! The Jabberwocky is about my most favorite poem <3 I can recite it by memory, but I'm not too sure about typing it... I'll probably misspell some of the nonsensical gibberish, miss a whole slew of punctuation, not to mention the lines... but I'll do my best.
Twas brilling, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that snatch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought,
So rested he by a Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two, and through and through,
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"Oh, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brilling, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
*takes a bow* Entirely from memory. I myself am sometimes blown away by the little - or big - things I can spontaneously remember.
Tomorrow is Theology (Heh, I'll ace that one) and Biology (erm... Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species...)

Eh, I'll definately pass, it's just that Mom likes to give me a mouthful if my entire report card isn't covered in A+'s... *rolls eyes* I get really annoyed with her "you need to be the best to get a good scholarship" attitude quite often. Awww Pandie *hugs* School is fun, and I miss my friends already, even though I still have a day to go. Hold lots of summer parties!  |

Yeah, time in the Valley is always a bonus. Summer parties? I may have one when my dear friend comes back from Oregon.... To celebrate her return after one long year.... But really, I haven't had many people over to my house since she left.... But when she comes back.... *smiles mysteriously* |

That stinks K13, my mom has the 'try your best' philosophy. and When I fail she just looks at me and says, "If you fall down 9 times get up 10" ^^

That's my dad's mindset, and I like it. Not only because I'm trying my best already, but because I'm not some prodigy child and having to reach even higher and missing the mark makes me feel bad about myself.

I still remember the Shakespeare that I had to memorize in High school and the prequel to the Canterbury tales is a fun one.
My parents were always of the do the best you can mind set as well. If the best you could do was a B then make it a solid B but if you think you could have done better then do so.
Probably my mom was like that because her step father was of the opinion of why do something if it's not perfect. You just wasted the time and the supplies to make something you should have done it the right way. That is a lot to put on a kid. It didn't help that he played favorites and that her adopted brother could do no wrong. If he did something wrong it was all mom's responsibility.

My parents were never like that with me in school. I wish they had have been. I did well, always, but never got any recognition for it. In the end I just sort of stopped trying because it didnt seem to make a difference to my mum how well I was doing.
When it came to exam time I did ty hard though, simply because I wasnt going to mess around with stuff that serious!

My mom says that if I don't get good grades I will get in trouble and not be able to go on PI or Pykiin Proboards for 2 weeks.
