Grades and Such

Well...progress reports dropped and things were less than spectacular. Bs in Physics and Calc, though the latter should be doing better once I get corrections in and when he gets around to grading our last little test, 'cause I did well on that. And I've got this Physics unit down, too, which should help. A- in Am Lit, but the whole research paper thing should jack my grade up nicely, as will the Dickinson Essay, inshallah. Hrm, well, everything else was cheery, though my Chem grade will likely take a bit of a dip after our first exam. Multiple choice was alright...if I guessed well on a few key questions I think I'll have come out quite well; lost a few points on the second free response section, but overall that was good too. First free response, though, ate my lunch. If I'm lucky, I'll get around half points for that section total, in which case my grade wouldn't be awful, really, but that would be a best case scenario, and, well, we saw what happened last time I was hoping for on of those.

Finished Assassin's Creed today (finally). Enjoyed it. The fights with Robert de Salle and his goons were annoying, though throwing him around and then stabbing him in the throat when I was on the verge of getting killed myself was exhilarating. Haven't thoroughly enjoyed a game and played through it so completely since BioShock. I'm not sure I'm totally down with the criticism of the ending...it was interesting, and yes it was a cliffhanger, but it's setting up the rest of the series nicely, and I'm looking forward to more good stuff in the future. What else...played Guitar Hero quite a bit and I've got most of the stuff on medium down pat, but hard is beyond me...the whole having to move your hand thing is just asking too much. Oh, and I am quite looking forward to getting Sins of a Solar Empire. It always looked interesting and has turned into quite the RTS darling, apparently, so I am quite excited to throw away countless hours on that (read: terrified).

Let's see...and then there's that other thing...Most certainly not something for even accidental public consumption, so check out the Other Book if you can. If not, well, then don't worry about it.

Tata, now.
