Hello everyone and welcome back to another blog entry. I think that this makes sense with just one entry per week. Other then that though lets get down into the nitty gritty of things. Starting off things is that Court Warming is this Saturday and I don't think I'll be going this year. I'm not vetoing it permanently but I'm not going to ask out some random girl at school to go with me. It wouldn't make sense and I don't think it would make sense at all. Either way all I'm really saying is that not this year and probably not until my junior year at least.
School is doing fantastic honestly and with my straight A's I'm feeling pretty awesome. I haven't ran into any of those people that don't like me and ran into some old faces that are really fun to sit and catch up with. Many old faces and friends moved on since then but I don't blame them since I never managed to keep in contact with them. The others though were either really ecstatic to see me and then even some of the teachers seem really awesome and interesting. No need to go into details about every one of them but as far as my favorite teacher which is probably one of your questions. My favorite teacher at the moment is my physical science teacher who also is coach for the soccer team. He is all around a cool guy and even when were taking notes he's just all around fun.
Thought comes to mind though that since this blog isn't connected to home school I can go into some of the other stuff and this one has been bothering me and probably will be my next project. After my Nerf gun is finally finished which it is not I will start one this list which I think will be very informational to many people out there. You see I like some music which is constantly taken for granted as dub step. Despite popular belief there is easily much more than dub step including Hardstyle, chill, trance and etc. I'm going to try to make a list of all of the separate subdivisions of all of these different things and what makes them unique. The point is that I listen to my music and so many people mistake it for something its not and now I think they don't know if something else exists that's even remotely similar. I plan on fixing that it will most likely be posted on this blog. Time for all of those obscure types of music to come out of the shadows and join the list of techno based music.

So close I can smell it!
I did not manage to finish my gun this last time but I got pretty darn close. The gun is on the path to being finished and sealed up but I screwed up one part that is extremely crucial to the overall design. Until I get a replacement part the whole gun can't be finished but it isn't entirely bad. The fumes of the cannon design and the stuff used to stick it all together was downright evil. I couldn't stand the smell in general as it was almost toxic. That is just my opinion on it because I managed to stay around the smell for a while it was just pretty rank.
How about school stuff at the moment and those happen to be tests which isn't that bad. Only the first tests of the year which is the World history test, Physical Science test, and then finally the Language arts test which isn't that hard due to the fact that it is only going to be going over nouns. Seriously I think that this won't be that hard and this makes me pretty happy. I know that these may sound like a lot but unlike the tests from Middle school My classes have been divided in half since then so there is 4 less classes that I have to study for at all. Even then I only have to really study for two because Nouns are easy and even the worksheets that I did for class were easy. I just have to remember to double check my work and then I shouldn't miss that much at all.
Other then all of that though I think that this is all going to be fairly standard week. Nothing out of the ordinary is happening other then another cold front moving in with a possible chance of more snow. Speaking of which have I explained that I am mad about this frantic weather. The reason for this is because that over here in Missouri we just got spring weather in the middle of Winter before Winter was even finished. I love winter and to think that it ended early is just sad and then Spring comes along taunting everybody else and all to end with even more Frigid weather. I love that Winter came back for me but still waking up in the morning to a rather rude awakening of cold bitter winds while waiting for the bus was not exactly pleasant

Long time No See!
Welcome back everyone that is still following me after my rather abrupt disappearance. Honestly I had no real good reasons to do this at all but I can say that I have accomplished quite a bit. Starting off lets get right into the thick of things and walk headfirst into public school. I have to say I am enjoying so much more then I used to. The main reason for this is because I have become an all around nicer person and because of this people like me better, I'm getting my homework done, and the classes are more tolerable when I'm not so annoyed at everyone around me. In other words public school turned out better then I had expected and then some.
Lets go onto one of the things that I kept on telling myself I needed to blog about for a while. This happens to be that the Cannon that I have desperately worked on is not done but almost there. I just need to do the final touches, probably this weekend and then POOF! Its finished. I have loved it from the moment I have set my eyes on it and to be honest I don't even know if it is going to work at all. For all I know it could end up flying to pieces. Of course this isn't going to stop me from making this fit together and start working. I love my cannon as if it were my baby already and it can't shoot anything yet.
Yep things have been doing pretty good over here and they might just get even better. I'm aiming for the stars and trying out for one of the hardest clubs to join in school. The Student Council. Yep this thing is a legend that allows you to have input about what happens in the entire school and carries its own weight with the title. This little position allows some of the more exclusive voices be heard through you. I wish to represent the Nerds and all of the others who go by other names but just the same. I'm Galen Seaton and I approve this message!

Hammer Flop!
Honestly today kinda sucked because I managed to screw up pretty badly. Alright first off today was supposed to be the day that I went back to school but due to negative degree temperatures they closed down the schools. Because of this I was supposed to go over to Hammerspace and finish up my Nerf gun project before school started. Honestly it was supposed to be done before now and even then it was supposed to be done before break. Lets go over how things went wrong shall we?
Starting off this morning I woke up at 6:00 and started doing a mock build of my gun and packing my stuff up. Simple stuff to get ready for the building process. I start building and then I realize that one of the pieces is 1/2 an inch off the required specs. I was instantly furious and in my anger I forgot to grab the last of the parts that I needed. You can probably see the problem here. This means that I was not prepared to even try to do a proper mock build over at Hammerspace. The part that was off was pretty early in the build process making it fairly important to the whole thing.
In other words my day turned quickly from an unexpected day off to an unwelcome headache. Same difference on some days but usually not this bad. Still could have ended worse. I have the part coming in here soon and I'll probably be double checking all of my parts this week to make sure that I have all of the parts exactly how I need them. Who knows if there is one piece thats flawed what about the others. Also if I overlooked that one maybe I'm missing an entire part due to my negligence. Both possibilities and could easily happen.

New Years Resolutions!
Time for a new years resolution and I think this one will do me well if I can follow through with it. The idea of a New Years resolution is to set a goal for yourself to complete by the end of the year. Because of this I decided to think long and hard on something that I have struggled with in the past. I could choose from a multitude of things through this method including make friends with the people I didn't enjoy being around in Middle school or something else public school related but they just seemed stupid in my opinion. Then I find this link on google plus which reminds me of just how bad at failing I am. For the most part I can't seem to be wrong in my mind and this means that I must defend my ideas to the death before I willingly agree to someone else's idea. What better thing to work on than something that I'm bad at. Because of this I believe that my New Years resolution should be that I need to be able to properly admit that I am wrong. That I am not right and to let things go when the occasion arises.This doesn't mean to give up but instead to accept other peoples ideas and build upon fact and not fiction.
Now lets move on to today and other things going on right now. First off still hating the whole waking up at 6:00 in the morning which I might want to start heading to bed earlier but it wouldn't help out much. Today I went out for lunch with Grandpa Attwood which was delicious and fun. Went out for some of the awesome barbeque around here. Here in Missouri we love us some barbeque and trust me there is plenty to go around. After lunch we headed back towards his house and we sat down and watched a decent movie that I was wanting to see. While the movie didn't turn out to be that good I still wanted to see it and I got what I wanted. All in all a rather good day and here soon I should have a bus schedule to be able to get on the bus.
Speaking of which I will be going back to school on Monday. Yep I will finally be going back into the public school system come Monday and I think that I have finally managed to prep myself. Things will be difficult to say the least when I do get in there but I believe that I am finally ready. I have to do my project still since the parts haven't come back but I know that I am making the right choice. I can honestly say its time for me to turn around and face the past to cope with the present to live for the future.

Rolling Drowzy
Today is my first time in forever that I have had to wake up on time for a public school schedule. I remember quite clearly now exactly why I don't like it. Its the waking up early and feeling like not wanting to get out of bed. I sleep on the top bunk of the bed so there is really no getting back in bed after you get back up so I can't turn on the light and wait for myself to wake up. Instead I have to sit up, jump down to the floor, turn off my alarm, and then get ready immediately. I admit this improves my time out the door and makes sure I'm on time. The problem is though that I'm extremely grumpy in the morning no matter what the situation is. Even when I actually eat breakfast I just don't want to wake up in the morning.
Other then the family getting back into school routine the weather outside is saying that we need to all freeze. I love the cold a lot but its in the negatives over here at the moment and thats not including the wind chill. I think that the worst part is though that despite the cold it brought some snow but not enough to do anything with. We could try to sled in it but you can see the grass. We could barely make some snowballs but not enough or fast enough for it to be fun. With that being the case its also good to mention that this is the dry snow where it has frozen completely and does not stick together. This snow makes me sad because with snow like this and time I could barely make a small snowman.
I can say that despite today that yesterday was awesome. You see we cleaned up the little bit of the house that needed cleaning and then waited for the family to start arriving. We had finger food together as we all chatted casually in the living room. No Fireworks sadly but I think of those being mainly for the 4th of July. The cousins and I later on went downstairs and played around or worked on making some blankets. Those blankets were a pain in the neck to make but they turned out well in the end. The week hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be after Christmas but now its time to get back onto school schedule times or else the actual days in school will be that much harder to endure.
