Changes of topic. My favorite thing in the world. If you were wondering this has nothing to do with Monty Python. (Awwwww). I have entitled this post "And now for something completely different" for reasons which will soon become apparent.
My first topic is fun with alkali metals. I find sodium and its relatives interesting. They react with water and air ever so violently, producing explosion and flames in such colors as crimson and white.
My next random topic is letter grading. My school (I don't own the school, for all you people who were thinking of saying "Wow, Chansey913 owns a school!") uses percentage marks, but all the television shows use letter grading. You never hear a teenager run in on a sitcom and be depressed because he got a 65%. No, it's always, "Mom, I suck because I got a D!". The other thing I have noticed in real life and on television is that with letter grading, there is no E. Nobody ever says they got and E+ or and E- or just a plain E, apparently the grading goes:
A+ , A , A- , B+ , B , B- , C+ , C , C- , D+ , D , D- , F.
I can understand because F stands for Fail and is under 50%, but shouldn't we have E? Also, shouldn't A- and B+ mean the same thing?
I had a large math test today. It wasn't hard, it was just long. Halfway through, we got to take a break, and when we got back, I relized my calculator was missing. I tried to find it but I couldn't. It was luckily at the end of the test and all I had to do was check over it, so I didn't really need it all that much. Afterwards, I found out it was in my bag all along. (sarcastic glance intested here because I can't find a emoticon)
In French today, we got to start a new unit.
Art. Yeah. Short. Sentances. Rule. Anyway, we got to learn how to make colors.
"What did you learn today, little Chansey913?"
"I learned that red and yellow make orange"
We got into really weird combonations of colors.
The teacher expalined to me that it would not be better to use an RGB() format to make it easier. She also told me that it's supposedly called RVB() in French, because Rouge, Vert, Bleu is Red, Green, Blue in French.
I also had a incident in Social Studies a day or two ago, where I accidentally got frustrated with a time-freezing test (I did freeze time actually, but my TFRANU (Time-Field Restictor And Netrualization Unit) broke and I just managed to thaw time before I was frozen and caused a space-time distortial anomaly that would destroy the universe) and said "Time Freezing Sucks" really loudly. People looked at me. Not nicely.
I'm also thinking about playing God Of War with a excellent guide I found to see if I do any better. I didn't get anywhere the first time I tried it.
Have any of you tried God Of War? If so, did you like it? (Duh and Duh).
I'm curently working on my model Stargate. It's coming together quite nicely. I would take some pictures, but I'm lazy.
Speaking of Stargates, I've finally got my dialing system for the new Stargate RTS working. Unfortunately, I haven't linked it to the Gates yet, so all you can do is press the buttons.
That's about it. If you haven't fallen asleep, I congratulate you. If you have, WAKE UP!!!
I'm off to test a new invention of mine, the Time-Reversal Device. If it works, I'll let me know.
I shall end now, as there appears to be a DeLorean rolling into my driveway.
Great Scott!

A- and B+ are not equivalent. An A- would be somewhere around 90 - 93, while a B+ would would be something like an 80 - 87.
