The Nerd endures Hell with help from...everything that is not Hell.

Hello, my friends and readers. Last you heard from me, I was about to undergo the Hell of IB Examinations. As of now, I've completed 2/3 of the exams I'm set to do, and have tested for a combined total of over 16 hours. And I've come to this conclusion: Aside from the exams themselves, life is pretty awesome right now. In my classes, we're not doing anything because the curriculum's been taught and now there's nothing left to do but socialize and sign yearbooks and the like. And yeah. Pretty much school has become a joke, and I, along with my fellow seniors, are counting the days until our last day of high school, the 25th of May.

But outside of school, life is just as awesome. Today I got my graduation gift in the form of an acoustic/electric bass guitar so I'll be able to continue to play in college, where amplifiers are not allowed. ALSO, THE SONG "SLOW CHEETAH" BY THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS REFUSES TO GET OUT OF MY HEAD, AND IT IS AWESOME.

...I'm bored.

Anyway, things with my girl are amazing, and we've almost reached the end of the threshold that most teenagers don't cross that is the first month of our relationship.

Also, in a mere 6 days, I'm going to achieve one of my dreams and see one of my favorite bands ever live. That band, of course, is U2. And their opener is The Fray. So I'm checking two bands off of my "Bands to See Live Before I or They Die" list. AND IT SHALL BE THE STUFF OF LEGEND.

Also, if you haven't yet, GO SEE THOR. Because it's epic. And Anthony Hopkins is a god. And Chris Hemsworth is flawlessly cast. And it's one of the best damn comic book films I've ever seen, because it's directed by Kenneth Branagh. Also, if you have the cash to spare and you've already seen Thor, GO SEE PRIEST. It's not as good as Thor, and apparently has nothing to the graphic novel it was based on, but it's a damn entertaining movie, and Karl Urban steals the show as the antagonist. On the note of movies, DON'T GO SEE THE THIRD TRANSFORMERS MOVIE, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A PIECE OF SHIT THAT FURTHER EXEMPLIFIES HOW MICHAEL BAY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL IN THE WORLD OF FILMMAKING AND GIVES HOLLYWOOD A BAD NAME. <Rant over>

In short, everything is wonderful, aside from evil tests which are almost done.

And now, here's a quote for the week.

"If at first you don't succeed, you fail." ~GLaDOS

This concludes the posting of the Mindless Ramblings of the Nerd for 15 May, 2011. I hope to see you soon for another exciting installment!
