sie stellten meine seele brennend ein

My mother finally got my Montreal photos (it's been a while- remember, I went from May 9th to May 12th!), and I must say I'm quite content with how most of them came out. XD <3 Let's start displaying a few.

This is our tour guide, who's French accent made me swoon, qui? ;D His name is Alexis (pronounced Alexi), and he was the biggest goofball I've ever met. Actually pulled my bandana right off my head once as we were boarding the "moach" (motor coach). Weirdo.

Alexis again, but Josh and Sarah take up the frontal in this photo. I think Josh is wondering who the hell I'm taking a picture of, and Sarah is all, "WTFWHEREAMI?!" Or something. She doesn't get out much.
One of my hotel-room-mates (Sydney) and I on the "moach". I think this was still on the way. XD We look terrible, and I'm in the middle of laughing my ass off, but still. ;D Weird angle contorts mah face. D:
A street in Montreal. <3 Very pretty town. Gorgeous. I could live there. ; ; <3
THIS WAS THE GREATEST THING EVAH. We were walking to a restaurant, and I spotted this cool cool van, so I -had- to take a picture of it.<3 'Twas amazing.
So yes. I might post some pretty scenery later on, but that's just a gist of things. I think I went through two disposables? XD <3 Stupid cam breaking... hem. Anyways. Going to convince my parents to buy a Canon PowerShot. ; D

Now, to talk a little bit about what I've been fearing since I walked into school- the Integrated Algebra Regents* exam. It was a lot easier than I thought it'd be, but I think I did poorly, 'cause... well, everyone else said they had a tough time. Means I did something wrong, I think. D: But yeah. I find out my grade without the curve** (if there is one) tomorrow, and I'm kinda anxious, because Math is the last class of the day. I might pop in during homeroom and check it out. That'd take a HUGE weight off my shoulders.

But, yeah, tomorrow... I gotta lug a giant postercoard and like six bags of stoof to school, 'cause we made presents for teachers. Andstuff. My Orchestra teacher gets a giant posterboard, and my Social Studies teacher is getting a gift basket. I might get something for my English and Science teachers, and my guidance counselor, too. Just like, cards. I really do bother too much. XD <3 So yes, busybusy.
And I've drawn absolutely nothing. : D

*Regents: A type of exam in New York State that basically decides if you pass or fail a course. See, our school year, like most, is divided into four quarters, and we get a grade for each until its reset. If you average the four quarters, and the percent total is BELOW 65, even if you pass the Regents, you fail the course. If you go with flying colors all year and fail the Regents, you fail the course.
It sucks.

**Curve: A percentage that's added onto our grades depending on how an area of the state did. Usually, done like (actual % earned) x (curved percentage). For example, .82 x 1.07 = .88. Your final score would be 88% instead of an 82 with a 7% curve.

You'll have to tell me how you did. 8D We get our report cards later- I still have two exams.

And Josh is an ass. XD

Jordyn:
Nope. I'm not sure what that Van is covered in, but I wouldn't be surprised if it WAS naked women. We saw sooo many strip clubs there. D: Whoo.

Regents does suck, yes, but a regents diploma is like a YAY. : D
