O_O I'm 5" 10 3/4. And you're 14... You must be a tank (not as in fat, but as in I'm a wrestler rawr)

LOL I know what a tank is dude!

And well I can play alright but I'm not built that big, so since I'm the tall lanky kid, they stick me centre, right under the basket. I hate it there, when you have 16 year olds who are defending you by slapping the ball out of your hands.

And we play this rule sometimes in training where you can only shoot inside the key (right under the basket) and I never do that, so I'm I known as 'outside the key dude' and everyone goes mad at me, even if it's like a one time mistake, you get slaughtered by the year 11's

Haha I'm Asian so people now call me Jeremy Lin. I'm told I also look like him too
 
My bestfriend is now on it with a pretty fine girl. Most of today was spent going up to him and saying "Always be safe, use a condom" whenever he's with her :lol: I'm not jealous for once either, I'm making good headway with a girl in my tutor... well I think I am I'm as thick as a Lada's bodywork when it comes to reading signs 👎
 


I'm starting to rethink my decision of taking TV & Film Production for the year. While I like the concept of editing videos and being behind the camera, it's...not quite what I expected, you could say. We use Final Cut Pro on iMacs for editing, but the software is just so complex and hard to figure out. I was barely able to be productive in the 1 hour class period today because I spent the better half of it figuring out how to get the Chromakeyer to work right and actually Chromakey the photos for the video, and I still can't figure out where to modify the picture's motion across the screen in the Chromakeyer, which is basically preventing my project from progressing. Luckily, the teacher throws a couple projects at us at a time, so I don't have to work on that one yet. But yet I do, because the other project is a news story, and I'm still waiting to get access to the green screen for 5 minutes to film my story. So basically, thanks to Final Cut Pro being too advanced for me, I'm barely getting anything done at the moment, and that sucks. Gah.

That was a rant I posted about a month ago about Chromakeying in TV & Film Production. Chromakeying is the process of removing the background from a picture; it works best with pictures with solid white backgrounds. It's what you use when you're working with green screens.

Since then, we've had a project where we were tasked with creating a 45 second story using only chromakeyed objects, sound effects, and backgrounds. The objects had to incorporate some sort of motion. I put together a story of a man who decides to steal a blue Mini, and runs from the cops though busy streets, where he eventually finds himself careening off a cliff and into a police helicopter, where he's ejected from the car, flies through a giant donut, and collides with an oil tanker in New York City, which is met with a large explosion. About a week or so after we finish a project, the teacher will dedicate a class period to just viewing everyone's projects. Despite my initial fears, mine turned out to be quite good compared to most of the others (though one kid did a really nice story about the Delorean from Back to the Future), and I'm hoping that'll secure an A for the quarter. :dopey:

Also, I hear we're having a Homecoming Assembly on Friday. What's a Homecoming Assembly?

What do they do there?
 
We have 3 short weeks in a row, this week there's an 'Implementation Day' Friday that we get off, then we get Thanksgiving Monday off, and then after that, 3rd week of October we have another day off for some reason that I have totally forgot. :lol:

"So Beowulf was one of the first great epics. And there was Gilgamesh, and the Iliad, and they had one in Germany... the name escapes me..."
"Mein Kampf?"
"No, not Mein Kampf you idiot!"
^Actual words of an AP English instructor

"Mein Kampf?"

Did you say that? That's my boy!

This happened today:

Government Teacher: "So... Who won the 1996 presidential election?"
Me: "Abe Lincoln?"
Teacher: No, you idiot! *Hits me across face*

True Story.

What project is it? It cant be any worse than my APUSH class...

We have to make news videos as if we were alive (and there was TV news) back before the American revolution and report information and "interview" colonists and British people. We are to cover the Coercive (Intolerable) and Quebec Acts.

My group is full of smart people, we just couldn't focus and didn't plan anything to the information is bad.
 
I had a Maths professor who would hit me in the head with his projector remote. In a joking manner, of course.

Eh, thats not bad. Just have fun with it, really.

Edit: Volleyball game tomorrow. Who goes and watches the Volleyball games? And not just as an excuse to stare at girls... Now that I'm not playing football, it's a pretty good pastime.
Well... And it's an excuse to blow Vuvuzelas in a gym. One of my mates bought like 9 of them, so we go to all of the obscure sporting events with them.

In Spanish, we had the speaking part of our Spanish test, and apparently, I was one of the better speakers, despite not liking that class.

hahahahaha That's awesome. I've gotta remember that one.
 
Some random stuff happened today; like my friend threw a pen at me in French and I went to catch it but it bounced out of my hands, now for some stupid reason my brain though "Yer, go after the pen while it's still falling" and in doing so I fell off the front of my chair and ended up on the floor under the desk... where I proceeded to stay for the rest of the lesson. My teacher didn't even notice me! :lol:
Also remembered the time in Spanish where someone nearly hit the teacher in the back of the head with a paper airplane. :lol:
 
^Speaking of paper aeroplanes, my form room is in the art block, and we found some A2 paper, and proceeded to make a fleet of paper aeroplanes. Then our form tutor walked in, and said "you know that's watercolour paper, at £5 a sheet?" We'd made 19 paper aeroplanes. :ouch::lol:
 
Yesterday in Life Skills was pretty dull. We were learning about politics again. This time we were learning how the EU works, what it does, which countries are a part of it and so on. I suppose I should be happy I'm getting lessons in politics so I actually know what I'm doing when I come to vote, but still. Then the teacher just randomly burst out saying, "I'm never going to see my car ever again!" At first, I thought she was having a bad break up with her car. Turns out, the reason why we had a supply teacher in our last Life Skills lesson was because she'd got in a car crash the previous day.

Here's the story; she's getting married, and she was going to see a photographer in Bolton after school. So she was driving down the motorway, minding her own business. The traffic was busy because it was around rush hour, so they were travelling at about 50mph or so. She was in the middle lane, and a truck in the inside lane wanted to get into the middle lane. So she went into the outside lane, so that the truck could get in the middle. Now she was minding her own business in the outside lane, or fast lane as it's more commonly referred to as. Suddenly, the car in front slams on the brakes, so she panics and slams on hers too. She managed to stop in time, she flashed her hazards so the car behind would know that she was decreasing in speed quite quickly. She looked in the mirror, and thought, "Oh, he'll stop." ...but he didn't. Instead, he went straight into the back of her. By this time she was pretty shaken up, I mean, someone had just driven into the back of her car. Then the car behind the car which had just hit her, crashed into said car. It turned into a four car pile up in the end. So now she was even more shaken up. She was on the Bluetooth to her other half at the time of the crash, and she had no idea what to do, apart from the womanly thing of bursting into tears. Guys, if you were on the phone to your wife-to-be, and she got in a car crash, what would be the first thing you'd say? Perhaps something along the lines of, "Oh my God! Are you OK?!" or, "Stay calm, you'll be fine!" or, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY CAR?!" if she was driving your car. My teacher's hubby-to-be decided to just tell her to get a grip. He then told her to get out, but she couldn't as the door was jammed from the damage. The Corsa behind her had caused her boot/trunk to be about six inches away from the back of her seat, bearing in mind this was a practically new '11 plate Golf. She couldn't get out of the passenger seat because the traffic was still going in the other lanes, so instead she just tried to get the door open as much as she could, which finally worked. She didn't feel too bad bodily wise, she couldn't really feel any pain. However, the guy in the car in front which was hit when she was hit, climbed out of the car with glass stuck in his eye, and the guy in the Corsa behind was having a heart attack, so she was just stood there watching everyone practially writhing in pain whilst she just had a few scrapes and bruises.

In the end, she escaped with just a bad back and some bad whiplash. The guy in the Corsa had a minor heart attack and broke his arm, but other than that he was doing fine. The guy with glass in his eye... we don't know what happened to him.

Am I the only one whose interested in subjects which are considered 'dull', I like History, Economics, and languages (yes, I did take French and Spanish for GCSE). :(
