Passed My Exams!!!!

SO, I passed all of my exams! That makes me really, really happy. Plus, Nightwish plays their first official live gig tomorrow in LA, so I hope to see some footage when it's over. =] Here are my grades:

Computer Engineering Tech. I - 94
Spanish III Honors - 82
Network Engineering Tech. I - 83.2 (I passed and got Cisco certified, which raises my job value)
Civics and Economics Honors - 95

YAY!

Late Night Posting!

It's two minutes after Midnight, and I'm about to go to bed. I should probably hurry, before my mother yells at me. So just a really quick update. I'm taking exams within these 2 weeks, and here's my schedule and a few grades:

Computer Engineering I - 94%
Spanish III Honors - 82%
Network Engineering I - Worry Level: 100%
Civics and Economics Honors - Worry Level: 25%

Work. Too Much Work.

My teachers have decided to load me down with work that should span over 2 or 3 weeks but to do in one weekend, and all because they were too slow to teach us faster and because exams start next week on the 12th. =[ Another problem is my back is hurting. I don't know what I've done but I'm taking a 800 Milligram pill and a muscle relaxer every 8 hours. It's helping a bit. Here's a pic of me since I Christmas. My step Aunt and Uncle got me a new hoodie =]

Piano!

My grandmother is housing my piano - for now. It's been at her home since August of 2009. But, my parents say that once we can get my father's boss to drop off a truck for our use to transport it, it will be mine to keep! =]


Another good piece, my band will be playing this Sunday for church, and we're gonna bring the house down (is that a good thing for a church? Hahaha =] )

Some of Today

So, I went to Books-A-Million today and got a copy of The Hunger Games 

And I've been reading it all day since I got it. I've also been blasting Nightwish's Oceanborn at top speed while I read, 'cause my mom got it for me for Christmas =]


I suggest both of these Items big time. But I strongly suggest Nightwish to anyone looking for a wonderful new band. It's symphonic metal, so kinda like these bands:



Though Evanescence isn't exactly symphonic metal, it's still an amazing band ;]

Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone! :)

My house is always different around Christmas. This year, it's slightly un-festive. My sister got a new bike, some books, and one CD. I got a movie (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2), two books (The Heroes of Olympus: The Son of Neptune, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Last Olympian, by Rick Riordan), a collectors edition of Oceanborn by Nightwish which has a demo on it as well as 3 live songs, a Casting Crowns CD, and a new MP3 player! =) I head off to church in about 15 minutes, and then I have some family reunion with my dad's mom's family. Fun, fun. =)

Christmas Eve

So, I went with my family last night to view the lights in McAdenville, NC (Christmas Town USA). The lights are always so pretty, and there is never a house without decorations on it (As part of an old tradition). Everyone is full of Christmas cheer around there, and I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays to everyone else!

That's just a small sample of how our little Christmas Town looks. I would have taken more, but my camera died =)
