Finished Fellowship during Spanish today. (I'll explain how I can pull that off later.) The librarian wasn't there after school, so I couldn't check out Two Towers - not that it really matters, Dad probably has it.
Anyway. Two major thoughts on it. )
Continuing on our merry way, I shall now tell you the tale of How I Pull Off Reading Stuff in Class.
The Spanish teacher doesn't really care whether you pay attention in class as long as you aren't preventing other people from doing so. Which, combined with the fact that I know what I'm doing when it comes to Spanish, has led to my habit of writing or reading instead of really paying attention. I follow closely enough that I at least know what she's talking about.
There are people in the class (as was noted in a rather explicit rant in December) who don't get it. They ignore the teacher loudly, and then try to argue that if she's threatening them with demerits, why not me and my friend? (She decided to read today, since it was the fourth day on the same topic. She's on the second Harry Potter book.) I'd explain it to them but I'm not going to waste my breath. I'd need it eventually for throwing them out the window or something... XD
If I thought I needed to follow the class in order to pass, I'd do that. As it is I have an A with only doing the homework if she's going to collect it. At lunch the day it's due.
Came up with another satire idea. )

Finding Dad's copy of Two Towers, that is. Really, you'd think he'd keep better track of the thing. :b Haven't read much of it.
Anyway. I need some help on a couple things, for various semi-literary purposes. So I figured I'd ask you people, seeing as between the lot of you I ought to get somethng for both of them.
*Greek translation for red. This relates to the big huge Horsepersons fic I'm working on. (Or at least a suggestion of somewhere I could get it done - I'm not sure whether Babel Fish does Greek, and there's definite reliability issues there besides.)
*Something else MTV could stand for, preferably void of all mention of "Music Television". I've got one idea but I'm not sure it's the greatest. Obviously, this is to do with the satire thing. I'll likely be writing a longer version andposting it online.
