Warm-up Column E

The last thing that I was evaluated on was my 1st semester report card. I did necessarily well, a 4.0.
I wish I could've gotten better, but thanks to my late arrival to Point Loma, I wasn't eligible to take any A.P. classes. I plan on taking more than one next year if opportunity yields. It would be very nice if I could have a 4.0+, but like I said-opportunity didn't persist.

Warm-up Column D

Something that I have learned a lesson from was using the wrong tools for the job. In this case, the wrong tool was a sharp knife, and the job was to open a seal-tight jar of maraschino cherries. It happened when I was around 10 years old. I was tempted to open the jar of maraschino cherries, but was too hurried about opening the jar that I didn't take the necessary safety procedures to open the jar. Long story short I ended up stabbing the webbing of my fingers between my thumb and index finger on my left hand after attempting to poke the top of the cap over and over again. The well learned lesson from that experience was to always use the right tools for the job.

Does Anyone Know What The SCP Is?

Not too long ago a good friend of mine introduced to me an online organization with some interesting stuff on it, it was the SCP website. Essentially, the SCP website is an online collection of articles addressing strange entities whose safety protocols, descriptions, and supposed "Exploration Logs" are included in each and every article. The articles are categorized by date of completion, and are numbered in the 1-999 and 1000-2000 list. Every item or better known as "SCP" is acknowledged by the preceding acronym "SCP", a hyphen, and then the items' number. In the article, the SCPs specified containment procedure (SCP) is listed under the object class. The object class, or its' safety classification is significantly chosen by the SCPs behavior towards humans. "Safe" means that the SCP will do nothing to harm a human. "Euclid" means that the SCP behavior cannot be predicted, and do not pose any existential threat to humans as the "Keter" class do. "Keter" means that the SCP displays a vigorous threat to human life, and is actively hostile to human life.
