Well, I had an interesting weekend.

Friday I took the AP US History exam. I've been mastering the class all year (and it's not an easy class, either), but I admit that I probably should have reviewed a bit more before this exam instead of letting myself get distracted by other things. Regardless, I think I did pretty well on the multiple choice section and on the document-based question. The first free response essay was decent. The second, not so much. I had to choose from two prompts, neither of which I knew much about, so I just picked one and did the best I could. At least I tried, and I did have solid info in there... so it should be alright, even though it was far from an acceptable essay by my standards. I'm sure I got at least a 3, and I probably got a 4, but I'm not feeling the 5... then again, I'm always unduly harsh on myself and tend to expect the worst so I can be pleasantly surprised if it's better, but not disappointed if it isn't. I'll let you know how it turned out when I get the results in July.

I was really hoping that they would give us essays over the Civil War or the sectional conflicts leading up to it, since that's what I spent months studying in AcDec this year, and I know all about it. But alas, they did not. Then again, I bet those clever AP test writers had that very fact in mind, and didn't want to give Academic Decathlon scholars across the nation an advantage.

Still, I'm sure that whatever I got, it's exactly what I deserved. If I don't get a 5, I think I'll study really hard and I can tackle it again next year.

I have my English Language/Composition test tomorrow, which will come MUCH easier to me, since I love to read and write, and it doesn't require any previous knowledge (except of literary devices, which come easy to me), just a sensitivity to language.

So on Saturday, I worked at a fundraising car wash for over four hours, and I got totally sunburned. (I hate sunscreen, by the way, so usually I just forsake it and pay the price later.) I have the most ridiculous tan lines from where my shorts and swimsuit top were. It's really been hurting the past few days, ESPECIALLY my legs. The burn also makes me feel sick, tired, and just kind of weird generally. But ah well, it's getting better now, and it'll fade to a funky tan.

Sunday was AWESOME, as I woke up to two leaked screenshots from Banjo-Kazooie 3, and then HOLY CRAP, that night they all started pouring in. The Great Mother's Day Revelation of '08. Stayed up really late then.

So yeah, Monday at school I was so happy about it all that I was somewhat delirious (though I can also attribute that to the sleeplessness and the sunburn)... I kept smiling randomly and laughed very easily, and that carried over into today.

I've been speculating and offering opinions about the game elsewhere, and therefore am a bit too burned out to offer a grand dissertation here. Only know that I think the game looks brilliant, and I'm totally excited, but that doesn't mean I don't have my reservations, misgivings, and anxieties about certain aspects. It's a dizzying and confusing mix that has fried my brain. Still, gosh DANG I haven't felt this way about a game in... ever. Literally, I've never been this excited about a game before. Of course, I have waited five long years for this very specific title. And others have been waiting even longer.

Only- where the HECK my Jinjos be?!! D: Rare keeps telling us they're going to be there, with an all-new role, but... I want to see them... really.

And I don't like the name. "Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts." Nuts and Bolts is so... bland. Then again, what does a name matter?

And no matter where Rare is going with it, it's still a Banjo game. Got the personality, the humor, the quirkiness, the innuendo and gay frogs.

'Kay, big test tomorrow... must get some sleep tonight... but dang!

Ciao for now,
-Fluffy

Now, the past I've tried forgetting
And my foes I could forgive
Trouble is, I know it's petty
But I hate to let them live.
