I'd rather be sweating than shivering. It might have to do with my grandparents constantly telling me I was too cold and needed to bundle up when I was younger...

Also, I burned things in school today! Salt fires are preeeeeeetty.

I just realised that every 50 years, a massive storm hits Australia :) Thanks Global Warming, you've brought us an Everstorm.

So that's what happened to SA! It all makes sense now!

@Kaymyth, I can relate to the coldhands / feet thing.

Today, in the night, I went out on the patio and it was still quite warm outside (as in I didn't shiver)... but it's probably last time, we're expecting temperature drop/rain this week :(

Autumn's almost here. Winter is coming. Do not want.

Australia confirmed for Roshar. There's even the weird animals!

Not to mention most of Australia is desert. So perhaps in a couple of hundred years, central australia will become the shattered plains XD

I...do not handle cold well.

Seriously, we are entering into the half of the year where the only times I feel warm are in the shower and in bed snuggled in with the husband and heated mattress pad.  And even in the second one, I still have to wear socks to bed because my feet don't thaw out until halfway through the night.

That's my problem, really.  My hands and feet get very cold very easily; it doesn't matter how much I bundle up, my toes are still going to be made of ice.  I can actually be sweating underneath my layers and still have chilled feet, and if my feet are cold then I am miserable.

The term for abnormally cold hands and feet is acrohypothermy, by the way.

The marching competition Saturday went well! I don't know the scores yet- the place was three hours away and we had to leave before they announced scores so we could get back before 3:00 AM- but we did good.

Also, they sold turkey legs at concessions. That was interesting.

I tripped while attempting to put away my hatbox and uniform- smooth, Misty, smooth- and I kinda messed up my knee. I don't think it's that bad, though, so there's another thing to be happy about: not seriously injuring myself in a somewhat embarrassing fashion! :D

Hehehe. I have fond memories of turkey legs from Disney World. I went on a trip to Disney with my high school marching band and ended up wandering around the park with several boys, and when we got hungry for dinner we each bought ourselves a turkey leg. The boys finished with theirs pretty quickly and dumped the remains in the trash, but I kept gnawing on mine for a while. When I was finally satisfied that I was done with it, the boys looked at the turkey leg (what was left of it) and were astonished at how much of the meat I'd managed to clean off. XD I guess I learned from my dad, who loves to grill and doesn't let the meat go to waste.

With the help of angry ranting, gratuitous Newsies references, and unfortunately large words, I have finished my cheesy and subtly sarcastic essay on friendship!

I'm going to sleep now, it's nearly 2 AM.

So, I had my first serious lab in chemistry today. It was the extraction of benzocaine and benzoic acid from a mixture of both, and holy benzene, Batman! it took forever. I got to use a separatory funnel (which was neat), and got to work with DCM, which is toxic!

I also spent two hours to get two separate white powders.

Guys guys guys guys guys

I made All East!

All East is an annual choir thing that takes place in a selected city (different every year) and only the best singers are selected from each grade and part in the participating schools. My school is only bringing 8 freshmen, and me and my best friend got picked to go! (This soprano who stares at me contstantly also is going, so that'll be an experience...) 

It's in Maryville in November and I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!

AFTER it's been graded.  If the teacher does internet searches to check for plagiarism, coming up with matches on the Shard could prompt...questions.

@bleeder Congrats on getting picked for that choir event! The name Maryville seems familiar... Is it in Ohio, by any chance?

Nope. Tennessee. About an hour south of Knoxville, methinks.

Thanks! I was surprised, as there are other talented freshmen, but I'm glad I made it.

Oh ok. I went to a book signing once in a town in Ohio called either Maryville or Marysville.

Possibly. It's currently terrible, so maybe after fixing it up and getting it back (this teacher insists on hard copies). :P
