All your blog are belong to us.

Here's an odd thing: Xanga has finally added full Unicode support! But, it depends upon your language settings. So, for us multi-language bloggers, it's back to square one.
In other news, apparently, Gather automatically creates an RSS feed for its users. So, if anyone actually wants to get up-to-the-minute updates on my blogging, or publish my blog on, say, their Yahoo 360° page--hey, it does stand for Real Simple Syndication, after all--you now have the tools to do so.
Now, as for the first week of school: my actual finalised schedule is:

1) Physics (Gilbertson, A226)
2)AP Stats (Pelkey, A204)
3)AP Spanish (Qualley, South Campus)
4)Open
5)World History (CLC) Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (open other days)
6)AP Lit (Hewitt, A162)

Or, the same as I already told you. They're fairly interesting.
In other news, we had our this year's first meeting of the Library teen advisory board: The High Council of Younger Elders. And we are sorely in need of members--especially ones that won't graduate in the next year or two. I don't think that we have gotten any new members since its creation two years ago. It meets the first Thursday of every month at the Brainerd Public Library at 4:00PM. We plan activities, such as game days and rocket making. You can join at a meeting, or send a message to any of their pages, or e-mail them at HCYE.brd@gmail.com. Anyone 11-19 is welcome, even if they aren't permanent residents of Brainerd--i.e. foreign exchange students.
Also, I went to a football game with my friend Jamp. And apparently, football is in fact very boring. Neither of us had ever actually been to a football game before, and so at least I thought that it would be most of the team--with a few benched players--running around after discussing their strategy at, say, quartertime. So we were both surprised to see that about an eighth of both teams actually played, and that was about seventy per cent huddling. Home ended up winning, 30 to 7--all of the last score was done in the fourth quarter--which means that there wasn't even the interest of wondering who was going to win, because the other team sucked so much--or maybe our team just has no life and practises 24/7.
So, my AP Spanish teacher said that we should live in Spanish. I already have my cell phone in Spanish, and I'm not going to completely switch my blog language, but perhaps a single entry? I don't want to re-live my Dog Latin--which is roughly the Latin equivalent of Spanglish--entry--perhaps a new Latin one is also an order--but I think that I could pull it off.

Procrastinate now.

I think I may have a semi-finalised schedule, now that my late PSEO paperwork is done:

First hour: Physics
Second hour: AP Statistics (Pelkey)
Third hour: AP Spanish (Qualley)
(A lunch)
1:00-1:50PM Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays: World History Pre-1500 (PSEO)
Sixth hour: AP English Language (Devine)

Speaking of which, today was my first day of CLC studentship. It wasn't that different from a normal high school course: introductions, "why are we doing this?" &c; but I have a feeling it will get to be more APish as time progresses. They already have us writing a paragraph on one person--from before 1500--with whom we would like to dine--and what we would ask them. So, I need to find an interesting, sociable historical figure who wasn't known for poisoning. Any suggestion?

In other news, I saw my dad a couple of days ago. Suffice to say we haven't seen him for over a year--maybe two, we were with Mark at the time--by our own choice. So, it was a happy, albeit awkward event. He was looking as hippie-ish as ever, sporting a pair of braids--he said that everyone tells him he looks like Willie Nelson--a long, three pointed beard, and a headband. He said that he now can't work--due to his rheumatoid arthritis--and he's making too little to live in the US--but maybe in Mexico... Of course, I don't think that he could live off of the US government's disability pay in a foreign country.
