Really, all the trouble started at lunch when I was checking my iPod Nano (which I got just a few days ago) during lunchtime when two things happened:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. One of my friends Xavier came over and wanted to take a look at my iPod.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span &gt;2. My other friend Maya said, "Those f****ing Exams are killing me over! I just wanna kill those ****ards and *****es!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although I hardly think the second one really had any outcome on my life. But anyway. So Xavier was drooling over my iPod and listening to it nonstop. I let him because hey, I am a very good friend. Plus he was five inches taller than me. Yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So as soon as the lunch bell rang he gave my iPod back to me (but did not shut it off as I later found out. Grrrrr) so that I could have my English exam. Anyway, me and Maya took the elevator and we noticed that there seemed to be some music revolving through the elevator...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can see where I'm going with this right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I was in the middle of writing my Health essay explaining the Human Life from an embryo to old age when I noticed music going off that was &lt;strong&gt;the exact same music from the elevator. &lt;/strong&gt;Funny thing was, it seemed to be coming from my backpack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I eventually put two and two together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Music in Elevator + iPod in Lunch + Music in Classroom + Backpack = Crap Times TWO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did what any normal person would have done. Using my foot I turned (actually it was more like shoved) my backpack over so that the music from the iPod was muffled and proceeded on smushing my food against it, not really caring if my Nano's screen cracked and broke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay fine. Maybe not every normal person would have done that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, I could have just reached into my backpack and like snatched off the earphones of it, couldn't it? Well the teacher still happened to be in the room, so it wasn't like that idea could have been EASY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yeah. I did that as soon as she went out of the room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what the cool thing was about that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;No one even noticed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I revised my math equation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;iPod + Backpack + Teacher out of the Room = Safety and an A+ on an Exam&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;It doesn't get any better than that folks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span &gt;I'm so shaken up from the experience that I don't even have any ideas for writing now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19303563-113455338504208900?l=allthoseshadeofgray.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://allthoseshadeofgray.blogspot.com/feeds/113455338504208900/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19303563&amp;postID=113455338504208900' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19303563/posts/default/113455338504208900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19303563/posts/default/113455338504208900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://allthoseshadeofgray.blogspot.com/2005/12/of-ipods-and-exams.html' title='Of iPods and Exams'/><author><name>I'm A BeLIEver</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06702029659657003933</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19303563.post-113437045628260122</id><published>2005-12-11T22:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-04-29T06:15:31.663-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Something Wicked This Way Comes</title><content type='html'>&lt;span &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;....and come it has!!

Of course, not that there's anything wrong with Macbeth, or King James. They're both pretty awesome plays/people, if a little too heavy on the witchcraft.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;It's just that I don't want Final Exams.
