Before I say anything else, I'm going to point out that I did try redrawing by memory Alphonse again. It basically looked the exact same as the one I drew last week, which left room to make it more realistic. Then I realized how much more detail there is in his actual armor than the one that I draw. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaughh, so many separate pieces! *whale noise* ...I kinda gave up after a few minutes of trying to modify my drawing. When I have more self-motivation, I'll try again. Seriously, suits of armor are so complicated! Kudos to Hiromu Arakawa and the animators for drawing him so well and stuff! Strange that even if his suit of armor has a lot of details, I think it'd be easier for me to be happy with a drawing of the armor than him as a human... with a flesh body... I don't know why. Maybe because he doesn't show emotions, and has no hair (besides the long white piece, which is quite easy to draw)? I think it's mainly that I won't have to draw hair. *nervous laugh* I really hate drawing hair. I suck so much at it.
Oh, and while looking for pics, I found this awesome one!
*waves arms around like they are noodles* SO COOL!!!
*ahem* I'm good now.
Monday was my mom's birthday! *noisemaker* It's kinda cool that she is 30 years older than me, and that her mom is 30 older than her! Oh, the coincidences!
Also, I had an interesting experience, which started from literally the moment I woke up. When my alarm rang, I suddenly had a very uncomfortable feeling. I'm guessing it's kind of the feeling people have in movies when it seems bad things are about to happen. It just made me think "It feels like there's something WRONG this morning." When I saw my mom a few minutes later, I told her about it, but reassured that by now it had basically disappeared. She still got really worried, because I'm just about the last person in my family to get anxious like that. We discussed it when we were about to leave for school, and she told me that she thought that it was a sign that I shouldn't go to school. After all, why would I get a sign something would happen at home if I was going to be away from the house for hours? And if I got this feeling, God or the Holy Ghost, or whoever gave me that feeling, would know we would interpret it this way. I agreed, and so I didn't go to school.
I felt kind of bad about telling her about the feeling immediately because I made her so nervous on her birthday... (That early in the morning, it had not yet registered in my head that it was her birthday, and I didn't remember until a few minutes after this event...) But I guess I should mainly be happy that we listened to the feeling, and hopefully it did prevent something bad from occurring to me or anyone else. Also, I got to spend the entire day reading a fanfic called Truth Revealed!~ (It is super long, so I put it in italics instead of using quotation marks.)
Bad thing, though, was that I had to do makeup work. This is why it has been the only day that I missed of school this year! There's people that skip classes all the time just cuz they want to, but honestly, there's too many consequences for me to actually do it too.
Before, the end of year testing was called CRT's, which I usually did pretty well in. I liked that all of it (except maybe one or two questions) was multiple choice, and during it I usually felt pretty calm and confident, actually. But this year, they changed the testing to SAGE. Since it is a new kind of test, all the teachers with subjects being tested have been preparing themselves and us for taking it. And from what I've seen, I will not like it. Not one little bit. The only advantage I see in it is that they change the next question depending on how you answered the one before it, so it's customized to each individual student and determines better their intelligence. But the way they tried to make the test more interactive... failed. In my eyes, at least. Oh geez, I really hope I move before having to take this, and that in the other state it will be more like the CRT's, because I already know there won't be any glitches or anything with it.
So, I just finished watching the April 2014 General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! As a classmate once said, it feels like it's more often than twice a year, right? I highly suggest that anyone who missed it, whether a member of the church or not, should go to lds.org to read or watch the talks. There were some great ones that many people can benefit from. In fact, I'm later going to reread some of them and look for the quotes I had wanted to write down.
...That's all for now, folks! (Sorry, can't help myself...)
