School. Pleh.
School is in full effect. My post was on the Thirtieth of August, and because of this almost-two-month period of inactivity a great number of readers have probably lost interest in me. Still, I shall continue to write, and maybe regain some of that lost faith.
The last time this blog has been left fallow (quite depressingly, only two posts ago — sorry readers 
I’ll try to post more!) the reason was because of the art website deviantART. As great as a website it is, and as wonderful a time waster it is, I can’t blame deviantART for neglecting Demonic Angelicism this time. Instead, I was distracted by a much more evil organization — school. This year is my last year of High School, and I have to say I have started it off with a very bad start. 
You can read about it all the way at the bottom of this post. Before I get to school though, I’m going to elaborate on a few (mis)adventures I’ve gone on. Feel free to skip right to the school section.
deviantART
Unlike the last time I neglected my blog, this time I’ve barely spent any time on deviantART. I’ve gone on to deviantART maybe around twenty times to check on my messages and comment on the first or second most popular deviation of the last eight hours, but nothing major. I’ve posted almost no new deviations, with the newest few being fairly short writing pieces. My favorite is probably a section of an paper I wrote for school, wherein I compared John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meany to Binders.
iPod
Skip past this part if you’re an apple fan or don’t want to read a lengthy rant / review about the new iPod.
Some of you may know I have an iPod. Others (well, actually, all of you, now that you’ve read that warning) may know I have the new iPod. That’s right — the shinier, smoother one with the bigger screen and video camera. 
All the shininess aside, I actually have a rather negative review of it. There are some features of it I can’t live without right now (namely, VoiceOver and the speaker) but there are some other things that I didn’t really like about it. For one, the iPod feels a lot laggier in general. The old iPod was much more responsive than this one. I even borrowed someone else’s iPod (I put away my old one) and shook the two at the same time. The old one started playing immediately, but mine made me wait almost an additional second. This delay is also noticeable when viewing the lyrics of a song that you have lyrics for. The most annoying part of that is that if you don’t want to view the lyrics and just want to get back to the volume slider from the seek page in the rotation, you have to wait through all the clicks, and then wait for the lyrics to load to switch back out of it. Speaking of switching from the seek page, that’s the only way you can access VoiceOver — by pressing the center button. When you want to listen to the title of the song, the song fades out to near silence so a really quiet voice can read to you what it is. Most of the time, I can’t even hear what it’s saying, and again, I have to flip through all the other “pages” to get back to being able to change the volume, and then listen to VoiceOver again.
It has a radio that I don’t really use (I find showing it off to be pretty fun though), a pedometer that’s okay in accuracy — that I also don’t use, and a video camera I like catching people unaware with. (Though, I swear that Apple put the camera behind where most people hold the iPod so that everyone else would know when you’re recording them…)
School
Ah, the topic I was avoiding. I was going to write about something originally, but the things that happened really should be kept kind of private… They’re definitely not things to show off about on a public blog. Sorry. So I’ll just tell you this instead.
The first grading period this year was the first time at Lowell I have gotten a GPA above 3.5. I’m really happy about that. I think I’m getting smarter. 
Maybe after I forgive myself for my accidents I’ll post it up. But not until then.
