Why hello blog I have ignored for so long!

I would just like to say today is a good day for me on Menewsha. The new increase of new users is great and I am happy to see the activity. It has been a while. It has been a while since I have met new users who I have chatted with for a while, rather than just a few posts. I have also met some people I recognized from other sites but never really talked to until now.

I honestly think I posted more today than i have in a while and it feels good and exciting. I hope the increase in users and activity stays.

We also got new mods today which is also good news. Though i am sad some of the older mods have left their positions. Oh well. ^^ Alls well is ends well.

Fwee~<3!

New person to add to the list I had from a previous blog named "Is it the Year of Death or something?"

A couple of days ago, a family friend died so, for September:
Ronald S.- Age 47; died on September 14, 2008 in his sleep.

I grew up with his son and daughther, and have known him since I was three. So yeah...The year on death continues on....

On a lighter note, I will try to start being more active again. Lately it hasn't been because of school, but instead monopoly and star ocean. xD

o.o;; I also got a cell phone. My dad said I was asking my sister about it( and her plan) and since he got 2 free phones when he switched plans, he got me one. o.0;; It wasn't really that I wanted a phone, but I just about needed one, espicially because of the sucky transportation from tech to my highschool, particulary on test days. I need something to use to contact for a ride. XD
But Yeah....I hate talking on the phones and crap. That is probably the only reason why he put me on the plan: My phone conversations average is 25 secounds. xD I won't be running up a phone bill.

You know, it is pretty sad that I had to just contact my local board of education about book distribution. For some dumb reason, they decided to replace almost all the books for every grade level [I]THIS[/I] year. And even dumber, they started with kindergarten, not the high schools. In elementary school, you do not really need a book. I believe that the high schools should be top priority, espicially since my county has two of the top 3 high schools in my state. And if not the high schools, you should at least give us our AP books. But no. We are four weeks into the school year and I still haven't gotten my AP physics book, and my class knows that our teacher has been on their case about it.

This is the message I sent:

To whom it may concern:
I am Amber ---------, a senior at ------------- Magnet School. For the last four weeks, my A.P. Physic’s class has been awaiting our books. The lack of a book has been hindering our studies, and although Mr. ------ is doing everything in his power to keep us from getting behind, I believe that it will be inevitable if we do not receive our books soon, considering that I learned in previous AP classes that the first day you are back you are already two weeks behind.
I understand that the --------- Board of Education is doing everything in its power to get all the newly ordered books distributed to all the schools in the county. However, as a graduating high school student of 2009 on the engineering track at ----------, which requires 5 math and 5 science classes, I would like to be given the best chance possible to pass and receive sufficient credit for this advanced placement class. Our physics class is fairly small, with 9 or 10 students. So, if it is not too much of a hindrance, it would be much appreciated if it could be arranged for those books transported to our school as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Amber------[/QUOTE]
(some things blanked out for privacy reasons, plus I edited before sending. xD This is just the message I copy and pasted from word into my email.)


And I sent that to the director of special schools, who was my sister's principal at my schools rival magnet school. If anyone will do anything about it, he will.

So yeah. Right now I am pretty pissed. We had our first grade/test in AP physics yesterday and I got a 60 on it, and I had the HIGHEST grade in my class. Though it would of been admittedly higher if I didn't make one huge stupid mistake in one of the problems. :lol: I remembered the correct order of the problem AFTER turning it in though. But still, that is pretty pathetic. xD

Dear ARJ,[INDENT]Yes, our Class of 2009 may be the biggest and brightest one you have had to graduate in years. Yes, a bell curve is nonexistent in our GPAs as well as really low scores....BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR SENIOR CLASS! You know we have been procrastinators all throughout our highschool journey, but making our senior year our hardest is just not right. We are risking our GPAs here... We cannot take the classes we want to, because they are "easy". Nope, you just place us in an Advanced Placement class without asking, making our schedule unchangable because of the classes we have to take. That is just wrong...

Sorry, just had to get that out.

[CENTER][B][COLOR="Navy"][SIZE="3"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Just as I thought. Like I said in a previous blog, details got better after chapter 3, bringing my opinion up, but the writing style increased my disappointment greatly. Maybe there is a reason it is like that? I do not know, but right now I am happy I did not pay full price for this book like I did the last three or I would of taken the book back, after I was done with it. (I take GREAT care of my books. Until Nick and his family gets their hands on them, they are as good as new)
I mean, seriously Mrs. Meyers, did you expect those of us who have liked the series since it came out, before it got really popular, to enjoy it as much as the Harry Potter turned Twilight Zombies?:sarcasm:

Someone, like Seiki who has liked it just as long as me, tell me this gets better.
