So I got bored, and using DVDPatcher, I converted this video to HD. What do you guys think? :yawn:

The finals policy at my school applies for 9-12.  If you have 2 or less absences, you do not have to take the final.  2 or more- you do.  I like that policy.

I woke up early due to a huge cat fight between Serafina and her ex-BF (the father of the three kittens Steph, Alex, and Miki). I tried stopping it but Serafina ended up biting me in my arm. I'm okay tho...just that I believe the bites may have to be checked out by the doctor...it's pretty huge. Serafina also ended up attacking the kittens as well, but I already put her in an isolated place so she can calm her behavior.

I wish I had that policy. :( It sounds so fair.

So finally, after 10 months overdue to take the driving test, I've scheduled it. I'm taking it on Saturday, June 6. Hopefully I'll pass it this one time (I've been driving with just a permit since January '08, and was eligible to take the test in July '08). :yes:

Thanks Max for the feedback. :)

I knew it wasn't HD, but it was a try of conversion. :hmm:

How do you guys record videos in 16:9? I've been trying to do this with my tuner by setting the screen's resolution to 16:9, but the videos on YouTube still come out as 4:3. :unsure:

If you use XP's Movie Maker or Movie maker 2.6 for Vista, it can come out in 16:9. ;)

In my high school, finals are at least 10% of the final grade, so it would be foolish not to attend finals. AP classes have their finals before the May AP exams, so it's over with. Also, parents can pull kids out of study hall during the finals schedule.

Yes.  But, if you are failing, you probably aren't attending everyday :P.  But yeah, if that were the case, they wouldn't.
