Well, least to say it has been a real up-and-down week for me. Fine one moment, completely miserable the next.

Sacrificed all of last weekend (no exageration) to doing a Classical Studies assessment; eight short essays on different art pieces from the Classical Greek period. Truly interesting stuff, but having to do all that work on it makes it less than enjoyable. Also had my Sculpture port folio due in last Monday. Four months worth of work finally came to a close, even if I did hand it in four days late. Now I have to do another port folio on painting which is due in October.

My Graphics teacher is getting paranoid about me falling behind in the Architecture Assessment. It's due in three weeks, so I don't see what all his fuss is about. I'll have plenty of time in the holidays to complete it. Lastly, I have an English Assessment on writing a movie review due next Tuesday, and an assessment on Calculus for Mathematics that very same day. It appears that I will have no life outside of school for the next so many weeks.

Apart from those (all school-induced) details, everything else has been nuetral.

Anyway, onto something a bit more fun and probably more interesting. Oh, but first...

R.I.P, Micheal Jackson! His legacy shall live on, and the lies of his being a pedeophile shall be forgotten (hopefully). What? I honestly believe he was innocent!

Now, onto something that I have seen on a couple of other journals and thought I would nick from them. I'm sorry. It looked like fun.

- <3 what you love
- X what you saw
- O what you haven't finished or saw sizable portions
- Y what you haven't seen but want to see
- Leave unchanged if neutral (in this journal entry, if it has a [ ] in front, it means I haven't seen it before)
