Saturday Blog #10: October 31st, 2009!!! Halloween Special!!!

How I enjoy having these special days on my Saturday Blog. Anyways onto the special Halloween Blog!

Part 1: Module 4 Ends!

So Ethics & Con120 ended Thursday. Dang, it is going by fast. So you guys want to know how Finals went? My grades before the Finals were:

Ethics- B(86%)

Con120- B(81%)

First was Ethics: I ended up with a B on the final. So that pretty much means I didn't get an A. I was just 3% from an A! Now comes in Con120. I don't want a C but since we took the test on a scantron, I won't know for a bit. But I checked on Friday and I got a B on the Final. So I didn't get a C this Module! Heck yeah!

Next up is Con130 and English!

Part 2: Video Game Update-

Oh boy, I am still on Megaman Battle Network 4: Bluemoon. Last time I was playing the second mode of the game, but I am stuck. For those who have played it, I am stuck in the Kendoman Arc. I have beaten the game before but it has been like what, 3-4 years since I have played it?

Anyways, since I got stuck on that game, I moved on to Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship Tournament 2006, which I have gotten used to now on the Visual Boy Advance. I can use the cards I have in real life. Dang I sound like a little kid but for some reason me & my brother(who is older) have been playing Yu-Gi-Oh again just recently. Just like the good ol' days.

I got some news on the DS Emulator. My friend couldn't get me it because of Finals Week of Module 4, so we and our cla$$mates have been stuck with studying for the Finals and 2 Project, which I will briefly talk about later on.

But the bad news is he can't instill WinZip, so I can play the DS Emulator. The good news is I can let him borrow my Laptop on Monday & he can install it. The school blocked WinZip, so we can't install it at school.

Part 3: Pokemon of the Week #10- Halloween!

Due to this Week's Episode being a boring Filler (aside from Brock's Sudowoodo learning Hammer Arm & Ash & Co. meeting Looker), I didn't find it too interesting. Because of Halloween, I decided to look up a good Halloween Type Pokemon. I think I went well with this week. I got a tie between 2 Legendaries: Darkrai & Giratina.

So here it is, I chose Giratina!!!

Name: Giratina

Type: Ghost/Dragon

Ability: Pressure- Altered Forme/Levitate- Origin Forme

Species- Renegade Pokemon

Physiology-

As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In this form, Giratina is has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short legs. Its legs have gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects that also could be claws. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as they can change shape as if they were made of a liquid.

Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of Dialga and Palkia, causing many to theorize that it is related to the two. This assumption is confirmed in Pokémon Platinum. Giratina's shiny form is nearly opposite in color compared to the original. The colors of the shiny Origin Forme is the same as the Altered Forme's except for the wings which appear to be a dark shade of brown.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in Giratina and the Sky Warrior; it uses this form when traveling through dimensions other than ours, such as the Distortion World. The form-altering is triggered by a change of gravity. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. This version of Giratina also appears in Pokémon Platinum, and can be activated outside of the Distortion World if it is holding a Griseous Orb.

Giratina's body is likely made up of antimatter, like all things from the Distortion World.

Part 4- Ethics Project Fiesta/No more CJ's!!!

Like I said earlier, I had 2 Projects to present on Finals Week. The first 1 dealt with "My Values". It is basically of what I believe in. I had to pick & present 4 Values. I had to pick 10 though and explain in writing. The teacher will give her opinion on which ones are your best values. But things changed the 4th week of Module 4. The CJ's left! About 90% of them but they weren't as annoying as I thought they would be. So now we have 7 Construction students, and 4 CJ's and 1 Medical. So we have to present 6 now.

We had to be creative. So like my friend did, I made a game on powerpoint. It has 5 cars and it is a guessing game. I had about 30 Values. With 10 of them being the correct ones. If a group got a value right, their car moves up 1. If they get it wrong, we move on to the next group. If they got the 1 of the 6 Values right, I explain it as well. If they got the other 4 Values, they are freebies and we move on. So I was glad with it, the winners got candy, so I was pleased. We also got evaluated by the students and I got mostly good reviews.

I first explained HONESTY, when I talked about my 5th grade experience when I cheated on a test where we had to name "50 U.S States & their Capitals". I got free Burger King. Everyone thought it was funny. I also talked about my "Almost Not Graduating" story. Which I think interested them. I also talked about "Motivation" where I talked about if I didn't graduate my mom would make me dress up in my cap & gown & walk around my neighborhood. I also talked about how my parents bribed me with a car for graduating.

The second project was easy, did it last minute. I think I did good on it though.
