I got this now. I think.

Alright, so I didn't exactly remember to post before class today, but I remembered now, so that's good enough. I'm starting to catch up a little more in Geometry. I'm nearly done with Chapter 5; there's just one small part of one problem that I'm having trouble figuring out, and no one else really knows how to fix it. I'll probably end up asking about it in class next Tuesday. Anyway, let's forget about school for now, it's Friday!

I plan on seeing either Interstellar tonight or Dumb and Dumber To. I wanted to see Interstellar last Saturday night, but I got a call from my boss saying that I was supposed to work that night. I didn't forget about working, I just thought it was the next weekend that I was working. It was for a class reunion, and I thought it was this weekend, but I'm glad it wasn't. Anyway, I ended up working that night, didn't see the movie, but then I did go over to a friend's house and he and I and another guy played GTA 5 for a few hours. I'm kinda thinking about getting that game for PC when it comes out. It isn't being released until the end of January of next year, but I can wait that long. I was heavily considering getting it for the 360, but that is sitting downstairs, and it's kinda hard to play that when no one else is around, being as my parents weren't in agreement of letting me get it for my birthday. But, ya know what? I'm 19 now, a freshman in college, and I'm gonna be a little rebellious and get the game for PC when it's available. I may or may not get it for the full $60, but I'm more than likely buying it.

I don't think I talked about this a whole lot in my previous post, but I recently got back from the 87th National FFA Convention & Expo. I did the National FFA Band for my second year, and it was a lot of fun. I met way more people than I did last year, and I feel like I got a much stronger connection with the band this year than I did last year. My first year in it, I don't think I made more than 10 or 15 friends, out of the 86 members of the band. This time, I came to know about 85% of the band. We did way more fun things this year than we did last year, too. For instance, one of my friends told us about this game called the duck game, and the concept of it is kinda like a domino effect, and you try and see how many people you can get to play it and not mess up much.

It kinda goes like this:

Person A: You wanna buy a duck?
Person B: A what?
Person A: A duck.
Person B: Does it quack?
Person A: Of course it quacks.

And then Person B would go on to Person C, and it would simply progress from there, like this:

Person B: You wanna buy a duck?
Person C: A what?
Person B: A what?
Person A: A duck.
Person B: A duck.
Person C: Does it quack?
Person B: Does it quack?
Person A: Of course it quacks.
Person B: Of course it quacks.

And so on and so forth, it continues and gets insanely fun, especially when people talk weird or word it slightly differently each time.

Another game we played was Pterodactyl, and the main concept of that game is to say "Pterodactyl" without showing your teeth at all, despite how much you laugh. You can scream it, say it quietly, act something out while saying it, or really most any reasonable thing while saying it to the next person. If you end up showing your teeth, you're out and it keeps going. When we played it, it came down to I believe 6 or 7 people, and they ended up just calling it a tie, because it would've gone on all night if they tried to push anyone else out.

Anyway, that was just two parts of the awesomeness that occurred at National Convention. And, believe me, when I was walking to class Monday morning at 7:15 AM in the cold, I felt really depressed, thinking about how I kinda was a celebrity for a few days, and then I go back to this place where barely a dozen people know who I am. I'm not saying I hate it here, because I don't, National Convention is just that much fun that really no one wants to go back home and leave their friends. We do communicate over Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, ya know, social media a lot, so we make it work.

So, I'd so that's a pretty beefy post there, I'm satisfied, don't really care if you're not, because it's 4 M on a Friday afternoon, I wanna be with other people and not sitting up in my room on my computer all evening, especially if I'm gonna see a movie tonight. See ya.
