Ragnarök
Posted 03-05-2012 at 08:08 PM by Addict
I'm thinking of converting to northern religion. You know, vikings and stuff? Not really because I believe it's true, but because it's so badass. But no. Having anything to do with religion would be completely against my ideals. Science rules everything.
Quite a lot has happened since I last posted a blog. I thought I'd mention some of them here.
First of all, you know how I wrote about how I'll try to get an "MVG" in a whole bunch of subjects? Well, that won't really be hard. I'll probably get it in all the ones I aimed at. My main problem right now is, I've already chosen what gymnasium or "upper secondary school" I want to spend the next three years of my life at, and the average "points" right there is 240 (which would represent a VG in every subject). If I get the grades I'm aiming for I'd be getting somewhere around 280-290. Max is 320 (with all MVGs, aka, the highest grade in every single subject). And this is a problem because, I simply lack motivation to do the things I should. It's like; "I should study for my presentation, but, nah, I'll get into the school anyway". I know this is a completely twisted way of thinking. If anything the grades are for me and no one else. But I'm just that lazy of a person I guess. Of course I'll probably still get the grades I want. Just, the path there will be more of a bore than it would've been, which is sad.
We've had what in Sweden is called "nationella prov" (national tests), in Swedish so far. We'll also have it in English, Maths, and Physics (which doesn't affect me because I already have MVG in all these subjects, except Swedish then). Basically, what it is is, everyone in the country (Sweden, derp) gets to do the same tests, the same days, under the same circumstances. Meaning, the grading system will be equal for everyone, and there will be no discrimination (further so because the tests are anonymous, at least in our school). The national tests is, what absolutely severs the ninth grade from the other grades (apart from the ninth grade being the last one of course). I've always had a problem with tests. If you ask someone, they wouldn't be able to tell because I always succeed anyway (what can I say, genius). But, there's something about time pressure that gets to me. We've had 2/3 national tests in Swedish (the third one isn't a scheduled one, it's just some hearing exercises we'll have spread across the semester). The first one we had, reading exercise went surprisingly well. According to my teacher, the reading stuff has always been my obstacle (I've barely read a book in my life). We haven't gotten back the tests but, I think I'll get a VG, and, if I'm lucky an MVG (but I won't get my hopes up here). But, oh ho ho, the writing exercise. Dear lord that was a crash and burn. I'll say, if I get anything higher than G there, I'll be surprised, and I mean surprised. Oh my, I'm not looking forward to getting that back. I don't think the MVG in Swedish is beyond reach. It probably is, and I'll end up dissapointed with myself. Standard.
About the "barely read a book" thing. It's true, I've read extremely few books in my great days here on earth. And, it wasn't long ago (only a couple of days) that I realized why that is. The problem isn't within the books (my teacher is consistantly nagging me about; "this book is great, read it!" etc). It's within me. A book can be great. It can be amazing. I still wouldn't enjoy reading it. In fact, no matter how good a book was, I'd still get bored senseless reading it. Which is why the book report I'll have on a book I've only read half of next week will be a pain. Heh.
I've started going to a gym. Generally mondays, wednesdays and fridays, but now my friend who I'm going there with has persuaded my to go there with him every day the following weeks. That will be fun. It's only been about three weeks, and I already see a difference on my upper arms. It feels great, honestly.
Death Note is a good show. I've known that I'd like it for a long time, I just haven't been arsed with downloading it. But recently I did (last friday actually), and I've already almost finished watching the show. It's much better than I anticipated even. I bet a lot of you have seen it. If not, concider it. It's a japanese animé.
I don't think there was a lot else. Don't know how long this is.

My counsellor is mad at me because my test scores are among the highest in the state but my marks are not the best they could be:C
Good luck with those test results Add, though I doubt you'll need luck. (:
Also I've been meaning to get into Death Note. I've read a few volumes of the manga, and I've really liked it. Are you watching it in English?Posted 03-06-2012 at 05:30 AM by MexiConk

@AngryAncestor
The day someone immediately associates a northen mythologistic phenomenon with a low-budget RPG is a sad day indeed. And no. I'm going there with Brilliant!.
@MexiConk
I would never watch a japanese animé in any language other than japanese. I have English subtitles.Posted 03-06-2012 at 12:57 PM by Addict

Nordic mythology isn't one bit popular or spoken about in the US. Albeit, I knew what Ragnarok was, but that's not how my brain works. My apologies. :?Quote:Originally Posted by Addict

Death Note was the one that got me into Anime and it was an incredible mental warfare with unpredictable moves.
Watch it, MexiConk! The English dub is not bad, it's really good.Posted 03-06-2012 at 11:05 PM by ElSiberianHusky
