A quick poem I wrote regarding Tuesday night's Ascendancy Point event in Perplex City. YAY for bad poems!

On Thirtieth of January,
when night fell round the land,
Kurt and Vi went to the Point
to give Scarlett a hand.

On the way they met poor Caine,
who, speculation said,
would end up messing up their plans,
but he went and helped, instead.

Inside they got, and first we had,
to confuse the systems so.
We played a game of Mastermind
before the team could go.

And then they split, to aid their cause,
Kurt, Fitch, and Caine (Team A).
Vi and Frye and Harrison,
did go the other way.

Team B came across a guard,
with video feeds, sublime.
Unfortunately, lag was high,
so that took some time.

Meanwhile, team A needed us,
to call, and to persuade.
This we did, eventually,
and the day was saved.

But as team A was nearing the end,
a guard stood in their way.
Oh what, oh what were they to do?
But then Caine saved the day.

Both teams met up, their missions done,
Ready for the end.
Hopefully, they would reach their goal,
and be able to help their friend.

Floor 110, at last,
and here the Third Power was seen.
One last puzzle, to test our worth,
to enter bay 17.

Harrison climbed in the vents,
and set up our way in.
But oops, it seems there's an error,
we need more puzzles to win.

More puzzles solved, the lights go out,
we hear only noise.
Vi and Helena were both ready,
and so were all three boys.

In they rushed, with single shots,
and then it was a blur.
Something happened, shots were fired,
it all caused quite a stir.

Six were killed, on that night.
They will all be missed.
Except for sneaky Third Power guys,
who'll probably be quite pissed.

Harrison, and Fishcook, also paid the price.
But Caine and Scarlett were okay..
As well as they could be.
They'll live, apparently, anyway.

Oh Harrison, Oh Harrison,
you will be missed I know,
by all at the PCPD,
but it was your time to go.

Scarlett, Kurt, Caine, and even Vi,
will live another day,
Without them, to be honest,
it wouldn't be much of a story, anyway.

"Oh Lettie! Lettie!" cries Vi,
her tears streaming down her face.
But now it was the time to leave,
and get out of this place.

It turns out Caine was there as well,
tortured by the Power.
But in the end, he was a real help,
and was truly a hero of the hour.

So off they went, to hospital,
where Scarlett sits right now,
Hopefully the Third Power,
Will stay away, somehow.

The final thing to happen, friends,
the final clue, hooray!
And we find out it's buried here,
England, upon the Way.

Hopefully, perhaps very soon,
the Cube may just change hands,
and then, my friends, we'll raise a toast,
to the best Cube hunter in the land.

Anyway, anybody that cares will notice I've not blogged for.. a while.

This is because I officially have a Wii. Yes, I do. It's also partly due to the fact that there's been nothing to blog about. I'm still working hard on my Computing, electronics, physics, maths, etc... Blah.

Okay, show's over.

(Also, my rival got an A on task 1. I got a B. Ooh, you win this time.. *twitch*

Me: 2
Rival: 2

Grr.)

Ugh.

 I had my Mechanics exam earlier today. And it was the strangest exam I've ever taken.  There was a strange and horrible anxious nervousness before it that I've never felt before, I normally just appear and do the whole exam perfectly happily and generally end up failing. Perhaps this year I really am paying more attention to my exams.

And then during the thing.. Well.  I'm normally finished with an exam [As was the case with all mocks that we did] within about 30 minutes, and then have to spend the rest of the 1:30 time period just sitting there with nothing to do.  But this was most different.  It was horrible, the time was going so much faster than normal.  I also had a small panic attack with 30 minutes to go, when I wasn't even half way through the paper.

Still, I did it.  I didn't have as much time as I'd have liked on the final questions [I think I dropped most of my marks on the last part alone], but I did finish, and I used 16 sides of paper, which is unusual for me.

My initial reaction tells me that I may have dropped only about 5 marks (On the final couple of parts), which would give me 67/72.  I'll be safe and estimate that I've got around 65/72 - A nice safe 90%.

I'll just point out that on EVERY SINGLE mock exam we've done so far for Mechanics, I've gotten 66/72 [91.67%].  On EVERY SINGLE ONE.  The same mark.

I'm hoping this one won't be any different.  91.67% would be most excellent.

I think there's a 95% chance that I've got an A, anyway, which is the best mark really.

One more exam to go. Friday, 2:15, Physics.

[Also, for the record, my rival finished way before me.  I so do hope I've beaten him.]

Actually, speaking of my rival.. Monday in Computing, I was waaay ahead of him with my task 3.  So hoorah, I'm counting that as another point for me. *nods* 

Ya. Boo for unprepared maths tests.

I'm sure we were never told about it. But I was the only one that didn't remember it, so I guess I'll let the teacher off. Imaginary numbers is a silly topic, anyway. It's as if someone stood up one day and shouted "I KNOW! Maths isn't a crappy enough subject yet. There just AREN'T ENOUGH NUMBERS. Let's invent some more!", and thus the topic of Imaginary Numbers was created.

But anyway, Yes. Big test on imaginary numbers. And I think, on the whole, I've done quite well. Except for the last part of the last question. I couldn't--Wait, why am I telling you this? You don't know the question. And I'm pretty sure you don't care about imaginary numbers.

*sighs* I'm talking to myself again.

I also got the results for my Computing test today, as well. 61/90. The best in the class, by about 20 marks. HAH. Take that, rival (Who got only 40/90)! I'm the only person in the whole class that doesn't have to come back and repeat the test. *victory!*

Mindez: 1
Rival: 1 (For being further ahead than him in the Pascal book, a while ago)

Ah well. I'm gaining ground, again.

But enough about tests! Tests suck. Lets talk about me!

You all must go and read this blog post: http://loupgarou.blog.com/1361091/ - It's a most excellent review of my blog. I love it. It's my favourite of all LoupGarou's blog posts! *gasp* Now I just have to hope it doesn't have some underlying encoded "MINDEZ SUCKS" message hidden in the text. That would certainly be my luck.

*sniffsniff*

Ooh, I smell that my Southern Fried Chicken is cooked.

*runs off!*

COMMENT! I NEED NOURISHMENT!
