Now I have to either write a hundred-page journal or type in a blog for Creative Writing II.

So, now there’s even more reason for me to update my blog more often.

Oh, yeah, and I switched back into Creative Writing II, even though I wasn’t suppose to have it this semester. I went from average homework load in IB, to HOMEWORK OVERLOAD.

Switching from Entis back to Mr. Mills for World History is tough. In Mr. Entis’s class, we practically do nothing but listen to him talk about “natural things”. In Mr. Mills, we’ve got a heck of a lot of pages to fill up in our World History notebooks. And those pages have to be relevant to World History, so you can’t just scribble some random history filler and call it a day.

And I come back to Creative Writing II, and I found out that I have a narrative poem due on Wednesday, and a “superb story, extraordinary essay, and perfect poem” due at the end of February.

I’m sorry, Mr. Stanton. I love literature and all, but my story, essay, and poem will not be worth anyone’s time. Especially now that I have all this crap homework to do.

Oh well. I’ll try to do well on updating my blog, I guess.

Apurva hacked into my flash drive over the weekend, because I left it in his car. He plugged it into his computer to “check who’s the owner,” but as soon as he saw that a few of my blog entries was on there, as well as my NaNoWriMo novel, he forgot all about what was his purpose for plugging it into his computer. I had put a password on my NaNo, so he went into a frenzy trying to hack into it. He even typed in, “I am a psycho woman” just to see if I was indeed psycho.

Then he called Jason and told him all about his findings. Jason called me to ask how to set a password on Word (Back then I hadn’t realized that my flash drive was gone), and probably how to take it off (I can’t quite remember what he asked for after that). Hah. My password was six random numbers. Have fun guessing that, you two.

But I didn’t encrypt my NaNo outline. Or blog entry (It was my last entry, and I put it on Word because I was going to print it, cut it out, and turn it into a little scroll for fun).

So Apurva attacked at how this one guy in my novel was called Cody, and there was this guy at my school called Cody Wei. I told him my novel Cody was in no way related to Mr. Wei, as I had first started the first draft of my novel in January, a good eight months before I even heard about Wei.

And then I told him that none of my characters are based off of anyone I know. Well, not CONSCIOUSLY, at least. Vatsal pointed out that the main character’s mentor sounded emo, which sounded a lot like Ryan Stanley. I sort of had to agree with that one, as the mentor was a bit emo, and she was a female (Ryan Stanley is technically a male, but the guys think they know better).

Sort of.

In the carpool, they attacked my blog entry. Apurva and Jason found out that they were mentioned in my blog entry (Well, of course. Apurva saved it onto his computer and emailed it to Jason), but Sean wasn’t. Sean didn’t say anything (As per usual), but I guess he was a bit disappointed. Then Apurva found out that Sean hadn’t read my entry yet, and decided to email it to him as well.

Damn you, Apurva.

I’m encrypting everything on my flash drive from now on. Boy, I’m sure thankful that there wasn’t anything too revealing in the entry that they read. Nothing like the “Moi friends” entry, or even all of the bashings and rantings I gave them in my journal entries.

Jason says that he needed more flash drives from different people. He won’t be getting anymore from me. And if he does manage to get his mitts on one, he’ll drive himself crazy trying to figure out the passwords.
