  • I have started a Madoka Magica doujinshi called Zaubermädchen Anna Magica. (Anna Magica 4 short, ZAM 4 shortest.) If u want 2 check out v story so far, feel free. Whaddaya think of it? Please let me know. (I'll give u v link when I find out how.)
  • I have also started putting up pages from my old school sketchbook if any of u r interested. Seeing how I used 2 draw could b interesting. Search 4 "Sakura's Art Book."
  • Oh, and readers of earlier posts may know that I found out how 2 make a Pactio Card from Negima. (basically, a card that reveals magical details about a person) Well, I should've told u way earlier, but 4 some reason v picture wasn't loading on v software, so it's back 2 v drawing board 4 a while.
  • Crimson-Rose asked me why I had v letter v all over my posts. If u c a v on its own, it will often b a substitute 4 "the". Just say what u c.

The Future Looks Crap

Just 1 more official day of hell 2 go... Had 4 exams 2day. (and yes, that wasn't a typo) Just have a Maths exam 2morrow and then Exam Week is officially over! On v minus side, we still have 2 do a French Reading paper, finish off our History exams and we have 3 more lessons 2 do our Art exam in... And there might b more. In fact, I still have a French Writing Task 2 do as I was off when they did it.
Only v IGCSE Physics exam was in v exam hall. We did a German Reading paper, started our Art exam (to make a pencil copy of a Cubist picture (^-^) ) and I did my last Latin paper as well.
I'm probably gonna b SO relieved when I send u Friday's post.
C u l8r,

Of Exams, Barbies and Fascists

At least 2 days in2 Exam Week & even my phone calendar is saying WTF...
(Geddit? Wednesday Thursday Friday, What The F**k?)
Anyway, it's actually been 3 days in2 Exam Week but I am still clapped out. I don't know how much more I can take and have been treating myself by reading Hetalia on Mangafox. Am not very hooked but v characters & v concepts r interesting. Oh, & I think England has been dissed twice more. Germany is a hottie 2! (Do I have a thing 4 fascist Germans or something? Crap, you've probably guessed one of my deepest darkest secrets... (>-<) CRAAAAAAAAAAAP.) I'm not sure whether v character Germany is an actual fascist or not, but v story is set during WW2. Anyway, 2day I had a 1 & 1/4 hr-long English exam, a Chemistry exam of v same length (which I don't think any of us needed timewise) and a History exam. On v plus side; I GOT 34 OUT OF 35 ON MY FRENCH LISTENING PAPER!!!!!! (^-^) I'm not sure what v max grade 4 that paper is though. We went 2 our normal lessons after v English exam & since we didn't have much time, we marked each other's test papers. The test was pretty easy, but I'm still pleased.
After school, we were invited 2 a barbecue @ v Pavilion (a building @ school 4 kids with special needs) I had a burger, 2 cheese twists, some tomatoes & 5 cakes/biscuits.
Tired now,
Sakura

Pastaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa of Doom: The News of V Day

Hello again peeps. Just been reading v 1st 2 chapters OF Hetalia (and a bit of Ch.3) and it's looking good so far. Apart from v bit when Italy is singing about how v food that Germany gives him "isn't gross like England's food." HOW VERY DARE U HIDEKAZ HIMARUYA, YOU INSENSITIVE POO. I'M ENGLISH. ARE U SAYING ROAST DINNER IS GROSS? OR FISH AND CHIPS?
Rome is such a hottie!
Oh, and v bit where Germany asks Italy if he has something 2 say in Ch.1 is really funny. U know; "I've got something 2 say! I have something! *waves hand frantically* And on v next panel: PASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
T-Tx1000 ROFL
Anyway, 2day was quite a busy day. Managed 2 cram in some quick revision and I reckon I could've done better with some of v questions on v Maths & Biology exams. Then there was v after-school Japanese lesson (don't ask). It was OK, but, u know. Also, an ex-student at our school who's a paediatric surgeon and was on a hospital documentary gave some Gifted and Talented students (including me) a talk about his life & v IB. (a post-16 course) Oh, and he didn't operate on me a fortnight ago bcoz he works @ a different hospital. I just realized, I'm sure I had pants on when I went under, and @ least 1 of v scars is near my u-know-what. That probably means that v surgeons who operated on me had 2 take my pants off during v op. Pervs. (C Sakura's Adventures in A&E 4 more info.)
Anyway, 2morrow is gonna be really big, bcoz there isn't 1 lesson in which I don't have an exam. In order of earliness, I have Double English, Chemistry, Art and History exams. Oh, and thanx 2 Cardcaptor Ryoko 4 wishing me luck.
Gonna finish off Ch.3 of Hetalia now.

Into the Gaping Mouth of Doom

Hello peeps! I think I did well in v test-in, but I'll probably find out v results on Friday. (I'm sure I got a 1-step wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!) C last post 4 more info.
Anyway: 2day's news: it's Yr 9 Exam Week at our school. That's right, we have end-of-year exams 2 check our progress. (And in Science (I do Separate Sciences) our results may decide what exam syllabus we take!!!)
I should b revising right now, but I'm feeling quite clapped-out after 3 exams in 1 day (that wasn't a typo) and I wanted 2 tell u guys about it. In fact, there were supposed 2 b 4 exams, but 4 some reason we revised in History Period 1 instead with one of v school's many annoying supply teachers. (Probably bcoz apparently our History teacher along with others were taking v Yr 10s 2 Berlin on a school trip or something.) We did 2 Listening papers 4 French (which was mostly easy) and German. Apparently v German teacher knew we wouldn't get all v questions right because we hadn't studied everything on v test. (it was a past paper) WHY DID U HAVE 2 GO & THROW US IN V DEEP END LIKE THAT!?
But v toughest 1 was RE. I swear I would have answered v questions better & in more detail if we had more than an hour 2 do it in.
Well, wish me luck. I've got Double Maths & Biology exams 2morrow.

From White Belt 2 Orange Belt (hopefully)

Hi guys. Sorry, haven't been submitting much recently, but if u check my quiz results you'll c that I've been doing quite a lot. Oh,and if you're wondering what the gibberish under v results 4 v 2 Hetalia quizzes is, I was trying 2 do Italian and American accents respectively. (Sorry, I've probably pissed off about a million Americans and a few Italians because u don't really sound like that.(^-^') )
Anyway, on 2 v matter @ hand. @ 1/2 past 1 Mum, my little sister & me (oh, and 2 of our neighbours) have got 2 b in Huntingdon. Why? Well, 2day is gonna be a very interesting day. Why? (Sorry, I sound like an annoying child.)
I, along with v aforementioned people, are martial artists. We do Tang Soo Do, a Korean martial art, on Friday nights often. And today, in Huntingdon, there is going 2 be a test, for lots of other people as well, 2 c if we can move up a belt.
(BTW, I'm a White Belt & I know how 2 break someone's elbow. So watch out. ^w^)
Us five r testing 4 an Orange Belt, the next belt up from a White Belt (or White Tag, a White Belt with a small black stripe across v side in some of our, including my, cases.) (Not everyone testing is testing 4 an Orange Belt.) And yes, like most martial arts, when u join u start off with a White Belt.
However, there was a pretest (like a mock exam, I think) 2 Sundays ago, and me and my little sister were off sick (C last post 4 more info, it was v day I went 2 v doctor's) (Li'l sis was recovering from a bug). Luckily, li'l sis went 2 v next training session and despite v fact that I had spent v next 3 sessions in and recovering from hospital, v instructor said we could still test. (^-^) (probably bcoz I had clocked up enough lessons, I counted 26 v last time I checked and u have 2 do 24.) Phew. I didn't like v sound of being White Belt 4 3 more months.
I'm a bit nervous & curious about what it's going 2 b like (White Tag is v only belt which u don't have 2 test 4), but v youngest Black Belt who attends v lessons (I think she's 13, she's really nice) said she'll go through some of v moves with me. That might not b enough, but I'm grateful.
Fly In V Ointment No.2: the over 17's get 2 break some sort of block. (I'm 3 years 2 young!
Any questions or anything, feel 3 2 comment.
Wish me luck,
Sakura
P.S. I have been able 2 eat stuff 4 a couple of days now, which is awesome.
