Election Picture New Hampshire

Saw this when looking at the votes for the election. Took a snip-shot of it before the vote number changed.

And they say your vote doesn't count :P

Chromebooks

We got Chromebooks for school the other week. I think they’ve been useful/nice to have thus far, but I don’t think the general consensus of the students is positive.

In classes when the teacher asks us to use paper/pencil for the notes or sponge or whatever, people aren’t happy. Why have chromebooks if we’re barely going to use them?

“Well it is only the second day since we got them.” I say in my head, “The teachers aren’t fully adjusted to them and are still testing the waters and seeing how they can cooperate them into each of their classes.”

Well, anyway, I’ve been using mine a lot. It’s really nice to have, basically, a working laptop around. The other laptop that I use, as I have mentioned in previous posts, has distorted colors and buttons that don’t do what they’re supposed to.

But, it isn’t quite like a fully functioning laptop. There are many things blocked by the school, so I still have to use other devices to get the entirety of the internets. Can’t go on Facebook (because “Website contains prohibited Friendship content.” (cause friends aren’t allowed anymore, apparently)) or any social media for that matter. Also can’t get onto brandonsanderson.com or boardgamegeek.com. I also can’t sign into any email that isn’t @fallongreeenwave.com, which means I can’t sign into my regular email or into my mom’s email (which means I can’t make new blog posts). I’m actually typing this on a google docs on my chromebook, and then I’m going to transfer it to my blog from a different computer. However, I can get onto nedroid.com, xkcd.com and iwastesomuchtime.com, which is a plus.

You can also get onto youtube, so I watch videos from my chromebook now. Some anime websites are up too, so I can watch anime also.

You can also play games from unblocked sources. Right now I’ve been playing a lot of cat ninja, getting better and faster at beating the game.

Also, I’m 16 now. Guess dating’s a thing? Got a phone also.

When...

When this comes in the mail so you continue to procrastinate your homework so you can be pumped

Had a few minutes

Had a few minutes before I go off to bed, so I thought that I would write a quick blog post about whatever. Figured putting up something small would be better than nothing.
Random note: I was hungry this morning and I went to brush my teeth and it upset my stomach.
Anyways, Nedroid is still really good. Went back and read a few of them again and, man, they are pretty funny. The most recent one (as of 9/25/16) is really good. I've already shown my sister and parents that one. Hannah really got a kick out of it for some reason. She thought it was because she was so hungry that she was like "Crispy bikes sound good to me!".
And to think that all of the comic strips are canon in some way...
My birthday's coming up. 15 days from now I'll be turning 16 which is pretty crazy. Don't really know what I want yet. Haven't really had my eye on anything particular other that things We have already ordered (Seafall, DOW: A long night, Dominion: Empires).
Watching a lot of anime recently. Got into a new anime that is 148 episodes long, the first 100 episodes being on Netflix. Watched 123 thus far. The most recent story arc is dragging out a bit, but it's been really fantastic. Wish I would have recorded when I watched the first episode so I could see how fast I've gone through them.
Haikyuu!! season three coming soon!
Baby Steps season three confirmed!
Pretty pumped about those two. (although I already know what's going to happen in Baby Steps (I thought the anime would have finished the manga (obviously that is not the case since there is a season three) and I wasn't sure if season three was ever going to exist, so I caught up on the manga reading the new chapters as they come out) but it will still be fun seeing it go into the animation form)

Games and Homework

Okay, what I don't understand is how Hannah somehow pulled us all (both parents included) out of our beds at 9:52 pm to play a game of Zooloretto. Of which we have already played twice the same day.
Anyways, didn't get to a blog post a couple weeks back due to homework, and should probably be working on it now instead of writing this, but I'll procrastinate some more. As I suspected the A.P. English and A.P. Psychology combo does hurt. With one or two modules due per week (each taking 1-3 hours depending on length) and a chapter due each week along side it (each taking .75-2 hours depending on length) it hurts. Especially because I wait until the last day to do things. Procrastinating is not a good habit to get into.
Depending on my workload you will see more or less blog posts in the upcoming school year, I'll still try to put out a post at least once every 2 weeks, but (obviously) that can change.
But, hey, who cares, right? Because Dominion: Empires came in a week ago, so I've been spamming that. Well, as much as I can. Only played 6-7 games thus far.
Fun story of the week about Dominion: Empires:
There's an event called Tax where when you buy it you can put debt tokens on a card. The first person to buy that card must take all the debt tokens on it. (Debt is money that you can spend latter. Ex. I buy a two costing card with two money, but it had two debt on it. The next turn I would have to spend two coin to get rid of the debt before I can buy anything). Thomas didn't really want to play, so he bought as many taxes as he could with extra buys etc. and put debt on all the good cards. The Provinces had 12 debt tokens on it at one point when I bought it. And then Joseph, who takes the turn after me, just picks up a province with none. It was terribly great.
Anyways, let's end on some bad and good news:
Bad News: Haven't played a game of Ashes in over two months :(
Good News: Seafall and Dead of Winter: A Long Night/Roberta Plum should be coming early October. :)
