Mar. 11th, 2008 06:58 amI finally found out yesterday what I was doing wrong when trying to burn Makeruna Makendou Z to a CD. It turns out that a .bin file is not the same as an .iso file. However, the former can be converted into the latter using a program called BIN2ISO.
Now for some undated tidbits from 7th grade:
-During either February or March, Marie had to go to a square dance at Charles E. Walters* with Mom. I don't remember if Brian went there, but I chose to stay home and play Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. From what I understand, though, Marie was supposed to write a newspaper article about the dance when she came home.
(Charles E. Walters: one of the three elementary schools in the Longwood School district. This is where I spent 4th and 5th grades and where Brian and Marie spent all their elementary years. The other two are West Middle Island and Coram Elementary School.)
-During the third quarter of the school year, I once overheard on the lunch line, someone talking about something his busdriver did. He told another boy that the busdriver put all the white students up front and all the black students in the back, just like during the times of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. He followed the explanation with "That guy is a gay-ass and a fucking bitch!"
-Once, Ms. Alfieri (my English teacher that year) asked the whole class to raise their right hand, then their left hand, then their right hand, and the pattern continued for about another minute.
-This happened during the 4th quarter. Once during Phys Ed, we were all outside, and some wild animal wandered into the school yard (at least a few yards away from us, thankfully). The creature looked like either a dog or a boar, and most of the students in my Gym class asked Coach O'Neal which it was. He said it was a wild hyheta*, and warned us not to get close to it as it might have rabies.
(Not sure if I spelt this word right, but Coach O'Neal did pronounce it as "high-hee-tuh.")
-Another thing that once happened in Phys Ed (4th quarter again): Normally, whenever we went outside, Coach O'Neal was on foot, as were me and my fellow students. However, he once did bring his bicycle with him. When we were going back inside the building, I tried to see if I could beat him on foot. I didn't say anything like "race ya!", but he noticed, and then asked me if I was like Superman. When I got back to the building, my stomach was so cramped that it hurt to laugh at someone who was either doing or saying something funny (don't remember what that student did or said).
