Found this on Tumblr: “Biology’s cruel joke goes something like this: As a teenage body goes through puberty, its circadian rhythm essentially shifts three hours backward. Suddenly, going to bed at nine or ten o’clock at night isn’t just a drag, but close to a biological impossibility. Studies of teenagers around the globe have found that adolescent brains do not start releasing melatonin until around eleven o’clock at night and keep pumping out the hormone well past sunrise. Adults, meanwhile, have little-to-no melatonin in their bodies when they wake up. With all that melatonin surging through their bloodstream, teenagers who are forced to be awake before eight in the morning are often barely alert and want nothing more than to give in to their body’s demands and fall back asleep. Because of the shift in their circadian rhythm, asking a teenager to perform well in a classroom during the early morning is like asking him or her to fly across the country and instantly adjust to the new time zone — and then do the same thing every night, for four years.”
Definitely showing to Mum when she gets home.

That is quite possibility the most perfect thing I have seen. (Other than last quarter's all A's report card. Ugh)

I know! It's amazing. Now Mum can't make me do stuff in the morning anymore!

A=average
B=bad
C=catastrophic
D=dismal
F=failure
It stuck, even after I realized C was average. I can't...my brain refuses to acknowledge that a B is a good grade. I can't do it. Maybe that makes me, I don't know, snobbish or something but I just can't do it. A B....*shudders*
I wish....My Mum still will make me.


Why thank you. *strokes imaginary beard; pondering if I really am smart or just snobby:D*

Grr, this over capacity thing....
I know right? I think if there was any doubt I was addicted to GR, this would cross out all doubt.
I've been clicking refresh frantically for the past five minutes. Stupid overcapacity. *pout*

It. kept. acting. up. on. me. If it starts doing it again, I will get super annoyed. *pout*
I'm trying to be the last post today, but knowing me, that'll probably never happen... Oh well. *wink*


So
Everyone will try to win.
But in reality, they will never.
Blah. I'm gonna shut up now :)

But that day is not today!

Isn't that the rules, though? The one thing we don't do that we're supposed to is a topic change. We just do whatever. I think. Hmm.

Because there will never be a "last post". I think I get it.

Maybe you're getting a draft from the lake or something. I know that sometimes when I go to San Francisco in the summer, it's oftentimes very cold, all because of the Bay.

It is a very weird state. I swear, the weather here is bonkers. Half the time, esp. in spring, it's frigid in the morning so you don your parka and then in the afternoon you switch to your shorts and tank only to go back to the parka after supper. *shivers* And to think it was almost 100 all last week.
Where I live, it'd be sketchy for a lake draft. Oh, and I was going to tell you that your bridge and one of my bridges are connected! They were designed by the same guy. How cool is that?



I need to watch that video again in order to perfect my wealthy laugh.
