Spring is Almost Here

I have 2 regular days of school left, then one final, then my spring break will begin. I have done more studying in the last week than I have probably done all quarter. I also have an essay to write by tuesday on the documentry film, "Daughter from Da-Nang." I have been able to keep some sense of sanity by rewatching a few episodes of "One Piece" with subtitles provided by #Kaizoku-Fansubs.
I have also been killing my stress by killing anything that moves in the game, CrimsonLand; and obliterating stick figures in Defend Your Castle, where I currently have the highest score I've ever seen anyone have. I am on level 289 at the moment and gaining swiftly. Many people think that this game gets more boring the higher in level you get, because you can just hire thousands of archers to kill anything on the screen. I'm taking a different approach to the game, I'm hiring as few people as I can get away with so that I can keep most of my points to spend later. I am currently employing 925 archers, 125 wizards, and 525 craftsmen. This leaves me with a castle of 3.5 million hitpoints. I have currently earned 264,871,700 points with 203,973,552 available to spend on castle wall improvement or hiring more units. My goal is to reach the point where 90% of my earned points are spendable. Right now I can only save 87% of the points I earn each level as the rest goes into unit upkeep. After reaching 90% usable points, my next goal will be to increase my castle wall from 3.5 million hitpoints to 1 billion hitpoints. This will probably take a few weeks, but not a problem since I have just enough units to keep my castle alive when I'm not sitting at my computer playing the game. This is definately made possibly by the 'save' feature in the game as I can't feasably do more than 50 levels before my computer needs a reboot.

I thought she (the english teacher) didn't want to go to school tuesday so we just need to turn the papers in to her by Weds or Thurs. Or did something change?

Well, if you were in class on Thursday you'd have heard that she forgot to bring the sheets with the requirements for our class reflection essay. So insead of doing that, we now have to have our evaluation essay turned in by tuesday afternoon.

Well excuse me for being sick! I was going to come but I thought since I had a hard time just getting up the stairs because of muscle pain, and since I had a hundred+ temperature for the third day in a row I'd better skip. I can see now that I should of just toughed it out. Not.

So do we have to go in to class like normal or is there some time she'll be there that we have to drop stuff off? Can't say I'm too disapointed by this change, one less thing to do this weekend.

All she wants is our Evaluation essay, just drop it by her office on Tuesday. That's it.
