... Hello

Woah. Hi. When was the last time I was on here? 1984? Oh, no wait it was just last April. Still, that's... uhh... six months. Yeah, I still suck at math, so that hasn't changed. But, yeah, it's been awhile. Don't know how you guys are doing, so let me know. Dream, Osbel (Steak), Tober... yes, it is true. I'm back.
And I can't help but notice that DeviantArt has undergone a new layout. Well, 'new' to me anyway. Don't have any feelings on it yet.
By the way, something you might like to know is that I started high school in August. Yup. High school. It's pretty cool... besides all the goddamn homework. And it seems as if the tables have completely turned as far as some of my classes go. I decided to retake algebra, first of all. I could have taken just regular geometry, but I decided to play it safe and go with honors algebra because a) it's better for my GPA b) I thought I'd need an easier class to go along with my other two honors classes (and I was right) c) I wasn't confident in my math abilities after not having a good teacher at all last year. Literally, this has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my entire life. My teacher is awesome. I can actually understand what he's talking about, and I even have a very low A in his class. Literally, it's an 89.79%, but that counts as an A, which is fine in my book. I actually managed to get an A on the last test and I've been making a better effort in the class, so I feel like I deserve it.
Then, there's English. Oh, English... I love English and writing, I really do, but I don't know if I hate this honors English 9 class more or less than I hated math last year. Probably less, because I'm not struggling with my grades, but still. My teacher is horrible; she's boring, gives us SHITLOADS of homework (I know, it's highschool, but seriously like two weeks ago I had to write FIVE ESSAYS in one five day period. All of them but one were more than three pages, and two of them were for English. we also have to write about 50 vocab cards each week with full definitions, synonyms and antonyms that have to be looked up, and a sentence you have to make to put on there yourself. Yeah.), and she has absolutely no sympathy whatsoever... she knows she's way too hard on us. Several weeks ago, I was out of class with my friend Phil for band because we were getting ready for a pep rally. It was an excused absence issued by my teacher and the office. Apparently, while I was gone, she gave out a sheet for a nine paragraph essay that I knew was coming up, but hadn't been given the prompt. The next day, Phil and I got the sheets at the very end of class, and while the rest of the class got three days to work on it, Phil and I got two. We asked her to extend the date since we had gotten it late, but she refused. The next day, I found out that I had a huge biology test the next day that would require a lot of studying, and she even decided to give us some extra reading assignment due the same day as the paper. So, I tried to go up and reason with her again and explain my predicament. However, she just said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not going to give you an extension. You're going to have a lot of long nights ahead of you, so get use to it." Angry and fed up, I gave up and just did the rest of the paper that night. I was up until about 1 am writing a nine page paper (yes, a paragraph per page), and my father ended up screaming at me that night about how I shouldn't be up that late and that I needed to go to bed. So, maybe my English teacher should tell him to get use to the fact that I'm going to have a lot of long nights in my future. But, whatever. I just hope she enjoys grading nine pages of single spaced bullshit. Yeah, that's right, she still hasn't graded it yet. 
SO. High school is very fun. I'm actually being serious here; I like it outside of my stupid English class. At least my journalism elective makes up for the atrocities of honors English 9 and actually allows me to write creatively while learning. I think I might take student publications and write for the newspaper next year, especially since I seem to be on good grounds with my journalism teacher/ the guy who runs the newspaper.
Hope you guys have been good over the past six months and that if you started school, you didn't start out as roughly as I did. Still, it's all good now, and I hope to hear from some of you soon!

PS. I've completely cleaned out my messages; everything is empty as of now. I noticed that I got a lot of comments about my birthday back in April, however, so thanks for those of you who did wish me a happy birthday... even though I'm already half way to my next one~
