| Hello yet again.
Normal classes have started up, and I think I've made some study
buddies, although some of my friendships seem to be drifting apart. I
can't please everyone, though...maybe I'm just boring. Oh well.
Anyways...I've got to do a profile paper for Flannagan, and I thought
about making myself look as creepy as possible (maybe I should use my
Necrophilia makeup again) to make sure I get an interesting person to
interview. I also have considered dying my hair violet. I am under the
belief that it'll look good. *blinks*
Thank you, you fine people, for replying to my last entry, although it was boring. I hope you don't find me dull.

| Hello.
I practically forgot I had one of these...sorry about that. Well, what's new with me? Um...
- I got my driver's license (my photo didn't make me look doped this time)
- I'm back up at Governor's School
- I didn't get any Ds or Fs, although I did get a couple of Cs (I worked harder for those Cs than I did for my As and my Bs)
- I finished up another writing project and my roommate wanted me
to work on a sequel...I'm forty pages into it already and began it this
same time last week.
- I'm taking "Fundamentals of Acting" as my Interim course
- In "FoA", we're doing three productions ("Naomi in the Living Room", "Hamlet", and "The Crucible")
- I will be doing Mercy Lewis for The Crucible (I'm a short and
scrawny little person but she's described as a "fat, sly, merciless
girl of eighteen"; I just wanted to play a bitch) and will get to
scream like a lunatic in the court scenes (it's "Puritan Girls Gone
Wild")
- I will be doing the Ghost of Hamlet's Father in Hamlet
- We performed in the Center Theater on Thursday, and I got creative with my ghostly entrances
- I'm drawing anime caricatures of my fellow govies
- I go home for a long weekend on Thursday
- Tomorrow's Martin Luther King Jr. day, and I'll get to meet some
of the rising Juniors. I'll try to scope out a roommate for next year

| I'm finally grasping Stoichiometry in Chemistry...I'm surprised at how much sense it is making at the present time.
As for the Billology test, I'm sure I bombed it, even with that
ridiculous song going through my head the whole time. I forgot the
charts on Endergonic and Exergonic relations and forgot what the
stator, rotor, knob, and rod did. And now there's the ethogram due
tomorrow, and my partners have been so kind as to delay up until now to
get me the notes. At least it's on behavior and doesn't involve much
math; I'm becoming numerophobic.
Also, oodles of Govies are getting sick over here. I'm not one of them,
but it's been a very lonely weekend. I've had the dorm all to myself
because my roommate's been on the Vertebrtate Biology trip. I can
expect company by the end of the day; maybe I'll clean up the room as a
surprise.
Friday, I went to see the Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire movie
(Kevin, I didn't see you there) with a bunch of my fellow govies...and
(yes, I AM a nerd; that's why I'm at this school) in costume. A few
kids went up to us and stated, "Oh, I bet you guys are Govies. Do you
know Dr. Flannagan?" When I, along with my fellow Juniors, nodded to
indicate that I indeed knew Flannagan, one of them said smugly, "His
son goes to our school." Well...yeah...I saw Flannagan on Saturday when
the Governor's School Drama Class (I might be in there next year; I was
there for work service and to enjoy the show) did their production of A Streetcar Named Desire.
One of my best friends, "Mouse," got to be the nurse at the end. The
role fit her perfectly. She (surprise, surprise) is in Writer's Guild.
Interviz was after that; cheers to people who came into my room to eat ginger snaps and watch Tenkuu no Escaflowne!
Well, the tests are out of the way, but I'm confused by what I've been
covering in Analysis. I'll be seeing Siegel later for help, and then
Jones-Cooper for extra Stoichiometry problems to do over
Thanksgiving...as well as see Flannagan about my Franz Kafka literary
analysis. Whoa; this surprisingly is a pair of uneventful days at GSSM.
I usually have more than this looming over me, but thank God the
ethogram will (God willing) be finished before I have to go to PreQUEST
at 7.

| Yes...the test is tomorrow, and I still have the Krebs Cycle under my
belt. I also have the chemicals and their reactions for Glycolysis
(Sugar Splitting):
Glucose + Hexokinase = Glucose-6 Phosphate
Glucose-6 Phosphate + Phosphoglucoisomerase = Fructose-6 Phosphate
Fructose-6 Phosphate + Phosphofructokinase = 1 Fructose, 6 Bisphosphate
1 Fructose, 6 Bisphosphate + Aldolase = Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate
& Glyceraldehyde-3 Phosphate (Isomerase between the two of these
gets them to swap around)
Everything doubles from there for...
Glyceraldehyde-3 Phosphate + Triose Phosphate Dehydrogenase = 1, 3 Bisphosphoglycerate
1, 3 Bisphosphoglycerate + Phosphoglycerokinase = 3 Phosphoglycerate
3 Phosphoglycerate + Phosphoglyceromutase = 2 Phosphoglycerate
2 Phosphoglycerate + Enolase = Phosphoenolpyruvate
Phosphoenolpyruvate + Pyruvate Kinase = Pyruvate
I'm also going to be temporarily dying my hair black. I'm sure that'll look nice.

| What a long time it's been since I've been here. Heather, I hope you'll
forgive me. There are two tough tests this week (I bitch about that a
lot; I know), and one is my #1 problem class. I got so desparate to
know the Krebs Cycle that I wrote a song to the tune of the Addams
Family theme:
Acetyl Coenzyme A
Citrate and Isocitrate
Alpha-Ketoglutarate
Succinyl
C-o A!
Succinate and Fumarate
Malate and Oxaloacetate
Acetyl
Coenzyme A
And now it starts again!
We start with just two
Carbons
But join with Oxaloacetate
To make Citrate, which has six
'til
water leaves and comes
Isocitrate comes next
Then helps with
NADH
For Alpha-Ketoglutarate
The Carbon count is five
More NADH
comes out
Succinyl C-o-A forms
A substrate-level exchange
Creates an
ATP!
We'll move on to Succinate
Which only has four Carbons
FADH2
forms
And next is Fumarate!
A water molecule comes
To help create
some malate
Another NADH
Leaves; cause it oxidized!
The last has
just four Carbons
It's Oxaloacetate
Add Acetyl Coenzyme A
The Cycle
starts again
The Isocitrate section
Loses a CO2 piece
And
Alpha-Ketoglutarate
Will do the very same...
Anyways...that's not all that's on the test, but it's a part of it. I'm
doing better in Chemistry and Precalculus, and on Friday, I do plan to
see the Goblet of Fire. Kevin, hopefully I'll meet up with you there
(I'm having to go with the school, and I'll be in a robe and have a
Slytherin tie around my neck). It's been quite some time since I hang
out with you, Heather, or anyone else in the area.
I did get a car recently, and I'm very glad. Now I'm going to have to get my permit updated to a license.
Keep me in mind for Biology (Billology), but as for the history test
yesterday...I felt quite relaxed. Feel free to continue emailing me.
