It's just that GS has gotten a bit tiresome. Also because the main reason I stayed here, the Dragon World union, was ended by its leader.

Just thought I'd let you all know. Should anyone be interested. Which I doubt.

I heard the news yesterday, about the death of the infamous Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin. I always loved that guy, and I loved his shows. His love for nature and wildlife was a rare phenomenon. To think that the man who wrestled the most dangerous crocodiles and alligators and grabbed the most venomous snakes, was to be brought down by an overall peaceful animal such as a stingray.

With the news of his death, several networks aired some old interviews with him. Some of the things he said were pretty ironic: "I'm hard to kill. I've spent many hours in the hospital, but I'm very hard to kill."
"Animals will always have a place in my heart."

You will be missed, Steve.

P.S. People who continue to spam my inbox with union invites will be deleted from my friends list. Because it seems that it's always the same people who do it. I don't mind one or two invites, but these people invite me to every possible union there is. Some of them even keep inviting me to the same union over and over again. I'm fed up with it, and these people are no longer welcome in my friends list.

Just got back from sunny southern France, after a much needed 3 week vacation. I thought I'd check in to say hi, now that I'm back.

First 2 weeks, the weather was great! Hot like a desert! Got a nice tan too

The weather wasn't as good in the last week, but it was still nice.

Just one thing. I come back from vacation and I find that my inbox has 36 PMs in it. Of which 30 are friggin union invites! STOP SPAMMING MY INBOX WITH UNION INVITES, I'M NOT JOINING ANY MORE UNIONS!!!!!

Now. *gives everyone who hasn't spammed my inbox with invites a camembert cheese* Souvenirs

Before I go on vacation. I'm leaving for France for 3 weeks on Friday. I'll probably be too busy preparing tomorrow to get online, so I thought I'd say goodbye now.

I won't have access to a computer there (as far as I know), so you won't see me again until I'm back.

So, umm... bye!

And I love it! Those combos are awesome!

Though I have to agree with Kuraudo and Mikesta, without the story mode, I think it'll get boring pretty soon.

And here I am! With a nice tan to match

I look even more sexy now.

Don't know for how long yet. I might be back on Monday, maybe sooner, maybe later, I don't know.

I'm going to my grandparents' boat, so I won't have an Internet connection available. Just so you guys know why I won't be online the next few days.

On another note, I gots me a new game for the PC! It's Silent Hunter 3, it's a submarine simulator. I played the first game, and I loved it, so this one's bound to be good too!

Oh, and please don't spam my inbox with union invites while I'm gone.

The computer is acting up. It's making a weird humming noise, and the other day it was humming in intervals. My father cleaned it, and the humming's gotten a little less, but my dad fears that it might stop working alltogether sometime soon. This is uncertain, but in case I'm gone for a long period, you'll know why.

Mikesta, I don't mind taking over the union for a while, but do know that if the computer stops working, I won't be able to run it. Just so you know.

Yesterday was the day I got my diploma. Even though I had to sit on my ass for more than 2 hours, it was definitely worth it. Every student was called to the front of the auditorium and had to sit down there, where their study coordinator said something about them. There was a camera so the whole audience could see your face, and the spotlight was aimed right at your face, so you were literally frying in that chair. My study coordinator said some things about my dry sense of humour, and backed that up with some of the things I had written in the yearbook. Then I got my diploma, but I had to sit down again, cause my Greek teacher also had a present for me.

Because the thing is, the whole Greek class consisted of 5 students. I was the only one who always had my homework done, and my translations were really good. She was really proud of me, and said I was an example to the others. Weird thing is though, at the central exam, I got the lowest grade of our class. Everyone else had a 7 as a final grade, but I only got a 6 (6.4 rounded down)! She felt really sorry for me, and said that if anyone deserved a better grade, it was me. She even thought I should've gotten an 8! So she found it appropriate to give me a 'prize' for all the hard work I did in class. It was quite touching.

I had a little get-together at a classmate's house later that evening, which was quite fun. A nice memory for later.

I fell a little depressed now, mainly cause I'll only be seeing my classmates a few more (brief) times now, and then I probably won't see them again for years. Maybe I won't ever see them again at all! And I have some really good memories from my high school period. I'm really gonna miss them!

On a better note, the girl I'm in love with told me she'd be coming to my party after all! You can't imagine how happy I am because of that! I'm still a little depressed though.
My mother found out that I'm in love (she confronted me with it), but she doesn't know who I'm in love with yet. I'd tell her, but she can't do anything to help me either, so it'll remain a secret for now. I might tell her some day.

I was at 14% yesterday, and now I'm at 17%! So I gained 3% instead of the usual 1%!

*knocks wood*

*sings* Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy....

W00T!!!

All my final exam grades were sufficient except for one, but all the final grades were sufficient, so I won't have to resit an exam. I could if I wanted to, but I don't think I want to.

BRING OUT THE PARTY SUPPLIES! PARTY AT MY PLACE!!!!

Ralphy's back! Tell a friend!

Lol, well, I'm back now. I was away for a week, cause I desperately needed some rest, and to get away from everything. To top it all off, the weather here the last few days has been fantastic! Really hot, so I got a nice tan too.

This is an exciting time for me, cause tomorrow will be the day when I hear if I graduated or not. I'm confident about it, but it's still exciting. I'll let you all know how it works out.

Yesterday, my Greek teacher invited my Greek class (5 people, including me) for dinner at her place. It was a lot of fun, and the food was good. Though afterwards I felt somewhat depressed, cause I realized that all this was almost over, and all the good times I had with my classmates will be gone. We'll all go and lead our own lives, and there's a good chance I might never see most of them ever again. It's very sad, really. I just wish there was some way that we could all stay together, or at least some of us.

Now comes the worst part: I have to wait for 2 weeks before I hear if I graduated or not! Oh well, at least there's no more school, and no more studying! Unless I haven't graduated yet and I have to resit an exam, that is. But I'm not betting on that.

English went extremely well. As I expected, since it's my best subject
Math however sucked major ass. I'm definitely getting a low grade for that one, unless the norm is set high enough. Oh well, I have to get a 3.2/10 to pass it, and I've calculated that I have at least a 4/10. So that one's in the pocket as well!

On another note, I now see why everyone keeps complaining about level 20. I started off at 1% 2 days ago. Yesterday I had 2%. And guess what, today I have 3%!

Well, since exams are done now, I guess I'll be spending more time on GS from now on.

lol, I start off with only 1%! I've got a bad feeling about this.

It's been gone for several days now! I had both Voted emblems, but now the first one's gone! What's going on?

On another note, I've almost finished all of my exams. I've only got English on Monday, and math on Tuesday. So far so good, I can't really say how I'm doing. I really hope I get good grades, cause I don't wanna redo this year. English is my best subject, so I'm not at all worried about that. I sucked at math, but I got tutoring, and now it's my second best subject! So I'm not really worried about that either. It's economics I'm more worried about, which I had today. That my other worst subject, and I didn't get tutoring for that.

Oh well, I've got 4 days off today, so I might be online a little more. But I'll still be studying for math though.

My final exams started today, and I'm gonna spend the next 2 weeks studying hard. After all, my diploma depends on it.

I had Greek today, which didn't go too bad. Tomorrow's business economics, and in the next 2 weeks, I'll have history, geography, Dutch, economics, English and math.

Anyway, I won't be visiting the boards (not even the BT2 board), so I won't be able to do my officer duties for the next 2 weeks. Maybe in the weekends I'll get online though. I'll probably be back on May 30.

I'll try to check in now and then, so if you want to contact me, either write in my blog, or send a PM.

Well, bye for now!
