A Small Change

I decided that the header for this blog looked pretty boring so I livened it up a bit.

Burnt Out

This is the Surrealism Photo I had to create for Graphic Design.

I'm quite burnt out, really and figuratively. The past two days I've been doing a lot of things. Friday, our Quittage team won when I caught the snitch, followed by me taking my friends on a hilly 22 mile bike ride. They weren't too happy with me after I did that.

Yesterday, I golfed most of the day with my Dad's family. I'm not very good but I suppose it was fun. Between these two eventful days I managed to get sunburn on my arms so it's a little painful to do somethings. I'm looking forward to doing nothing today and the day off I have tomorrow.

Modern Earth

This is the picture I had to make for Grafic Design Class. It's sort of depressing but I like how it turned out.

Lately, I've been running around frantically organising a "Quittich" team with my friend Eric for the fun day were having at my high school on friday. It's just like the real thing except with running instead of flying. The difficuly was no team could have no more than 4 of one gender (there are 7 total on a team). I spent the past two days making sure I got three girls on the team and that everyone knew the rules. Well whatever, I'm fairly certain it will be a lot of fun even if our team looses horribly, which will probabally happen since were all freshmen.

Discovering Abilities

Today a weird thing happened....

Dinner friends

Today our family friends are eating diner over here. My dad and Mr. Pierra went for a run earlier and we figured that they should stay for dinner as well.

This is my sister, Alicia, and her friend Elise. They are currently listening to Audra's music and messing with Alicia's hair.

Swahili fun

Swahili: Jambon, huyu ni changu rafiki Sam W. Mimi tuta nasuma tu sam lakini nina rafiki mwingine itwa sam basi kwa fanya sawa hazina kwa kila ingine, Mimi pa wewe barua kwa wao mwisno jina.

English: Hello, this is my friend Sam W. I wound say just Sam but I have another friend named Sam so to make sure they are not confused with each other, I give you the first letter of their last name.

Playing my Cards (Another School day)

Today was like any other day but for fun I'll go through all of my classes from today.

I start in the morning. I get out of bed at 6:10. Some days I get up at 5:45 to take a shower (like every other day). Despite Audra taking an extra long time in the bathroom it was just like any other morning.

Advisory/Homeroom: When I got to school my feet were completely frozen from walking and it took almost all of Advisory to get them warmed up. My advisory teacher is Mrs. Hakewill. She nice I guess. We really don't do much. I mostly just talk with my friend Jared. Today however was reading day so I couldn't talk much.


Social Studies: We are doing a project on a person influenced American history. I'm doing General George S. Patton with my friends Sam W., Jared, and Eric. Today we did a little research for the project and the kid next to me was amazed by the fact that I could copy the whole screen by using the "Print Screen" button.

This is where it is. I actually used Print Screen to make this picture.

Health: This is supposed to be a family friendly blog so I'll skip telling you about this class.

Art: I originally took this class to get some high school credit but now I think that it wasn't worth it. The teacher is really weird and always seems to make our artwork worse by telling us to do things that aren't necessary. We all got excited only to later be disappointed when we thought she was going to be fired when she asked a girl if she was doing drugs. The girl got mad and complained to the principle.

French: I thought last year that this would be a fun class but I was horribly wrong. French is extremely boring. Yesterday and today, the sun was shinning just right through the window so I entertained my self by making shadows with my hand. Yesterday, Sam H. who sits in front of me stuck out a sheet of paper to make it clearer and Melissa, Sam H. and I all started laughing really hard.
A few weeks ago I said to Sam H. wouldn't it be cool if we learned kswahili in french class. He took me seriously and asked the teacher who said no. He always takes me seriously like when I said we could try to get our Art teacher fired again (joking) by saying that she put down a students work. (That is sort of true, it's just a little exaggerated.) He did it and complain to the principle only to get a detention. I really wasn't meaning for him to do it. Anyway, Sam H. has begging the teacher if we could learn Kswahili for weeks in til finally today he taught a the word Mbwa which means dog. I think he did it just to get him to stop begging.

Math: We did what we do everyday pretty much. We did our test review for the test tomorrow.

Earth science: We are doing a lab where we see the effect of erosion on rocks and my partner, David and I, and Sam W.'s partner Christina were competing to see who could get our rock the most eroded. Christina's probably the least involved in this. So far my Partner and I are ahead of them.

Lunch: Lately, the people who sit at our table, Jared, Eric, Sam W., Jacob, Alex, and me have all been combining our lunches and then picking from the pile. It makes our lunches a lot more interesting.

Earth science: Some days we have Earth science twice but it was mostly just a continuation of the last Earth science.

English: We went over our practice New York State ELA test. I usually don't like these tests cause the questions are usually poor.

I then stayed after to work on my Social Studies project with Jared, Eric, and Sam W. in the earth science.

Got a Clue?

I'm just starting to get sick of this game as we have played 3 games today. I guess I have some sort of talent cause I have won all the games so far today. (Yesterday this was not the case.) It seems as if Mrs. Peacock has done the murder half the time.

Today is so far the first day that no friend has called and asked to hangout. It sort of nice because I had to turn down two yesterday. Before yesterday I had been to friend's houses three days in a row. I really like going places I was just ready for a break and I admit it was nice.

Mom just finished her puzzle after working on it for a couple days but did help her by putting two pieces in. I guess that means I did 1/500th of the puzzle.

New Photos

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays since Christmas has past.

Sorry I haven't Posted for like a month. Life is busy and it seems whenever I do get the chance I procrastinate and go on something else like facebook or I check my email since those are quite a bit easier and quicker than blogging. However blogging has a certain feel that you never get on facebook so I try to Post when I can (or feel like it).

I suppose what has really motivated me the most right now is that I got a digital camera for Christmas and well now I don't have to steal my mother's camera every time I need a good picture for my blog.

Last night we had company as Mike and Lydia came over for dinner while we ate some Chicken that my Mom had freshly cook. However, we all gathered at the table a bit too early only to hear that had to cook more which ended be around a half an hour.

Today Aunt Martha, and Cousins Ben and Hannah stopped by to drop off Hannah who was staying the night with my sisters. Ben, Hannah, My sisters, and I played a game of Clue and well the cops had to Arrest Mrs. White for killing Mr. Boddy in the Dinning room with a led pipe. Somehow I find that hard to picture. Anyway Audra won. My sisters and Hannah just finished another game where Mr. Green killed Mr. Boddy the Ballroom with a wrench in which Audra won again. It doesn't help that everyone cheats and steals or looks at other people's cards.

I really hope that now with my swim season done I will be able to post more. Happy Holidays.

The Doctors office- The Pilot

The other day my best friend, Sam and I got to publish our video that we made during the summer. Unfortunatly the quaility of the picture isn't the greatest and a few parts are a little cheesy and hard to hear.

My best friend Sam is the doctor, I am the Secrtary, My sister Audra is the second patient, Sam's sister, Sarah, is the first patient, and my friend Jacob is the Asistant surgen/health inspector.

Major edit

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a long time, It's hard to post when you don't have a lot of time and really there isn't much to right about. Most days its, I went to school (not much exciting things happens there), I go to swim practice (we swim), I go home and go my homework, I go to bed. How exciting.

Lately for Computer class we've been typing these really boring reports that the teacher already has written. So, I've decided to rewrite it. Here is the origonal.


-Respect is as old as life itself. But it has been deteriorated enormously in our society during the past twenty years. Sociologists tell us it’s because we’ve become too wrapped up in ourselves. We’re into our own thing; we look out for Number One. We don’t have time to give others the consideration which was once considered normal. That’s now the exception. Yet, respect is still the most important quality a human can have.
MANNERS
Call them anything you want—courtesy, respect, politeness, kindness, consideration, etc.—our manners are who we are. We’ll always be known by the way we treat others. And the way we treat others will always be a key factor in determining how successful we become.

Here is the new much better verison.


Respect is as old as life itself, you know, at least 10 years. But it has been deteriorated enormously in our society during the past twenty years. Yeah that’s right we are crushing the rights of the average citizen. We are to wrapped up in our selves. Don’t hug yourself when you could be huggin’ someone else. We’re into our own thing; we look out for Number One. For example: 13, 21, 111. All of these examples have ones in it. How about the number 6! Or 4! 4s and 6s shouldn’t be segregated man cause I have a dream. A dream that 6s and 4s can live and work together thus making 46s and 64s. We don’t have time to give others the consideration which was once considered normal. If you don’t have time make some. Try skipping homework and stuff. That’s now the exception. Yet, respect is still the most important quality a human, half ape that’s mother’s uncle was a rhino can have.
Manners
Call them anything you want if you dare but you must first sign a waiver and pay $ 96.67 in legal fees once you have experienced the full power of the dark side. Well whatever, the only point I’m trying to make is that manners is who we are. It’s a large blood cell that is located in the lower intestine. We’ll always be know the same way whether or not we have manners so just have manners just for the fun. It’s not like anyone else cares. Bottom line: The only way your opening that locked chest that I just left on your front porch is by getting this key from this guy named factor once you successfully determined his middle name.

That is how I have radically changed the perspective on respect.

Dear Mr. Obama

I agree a lot with the person in this video. The war we are fighting in Iraq isn't just about us. It's more about helping the citizens of Iraq out who live in a world of terrorism. There was a time in the civil war where a group of politics compained that we should of ended the civil war. Imagine what it would be like today if we were still a seperated nation. It defintly wouldn't be a good thing.

Labled Knee

I wrote this on my knee during youth group the other night and as a result a ton of people at school have asked me why I labeled my knee. I labeled it so I have enough space in my brain to remember the more important things.

Recently, at lunch, at school, the people of our table have found a new source of entertainment. In exchange for food, we get my best friend, Sam, to go over to another table and do something weird. Today in exchange for some dry Cinnamon cereal, we got him to go over to the table with an apple, Sing "I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss." Take a bite of the apple and pretend to faint. I had a good laugh. Their responds, one of them came over and yelled at me and said to stop sending him over because he was getting annoying.

In English we have to write a memoir for school. So I was thinking. My blog consists of almost 80 memoirs. So what's stopping me from just copying one of my posts, not like I'm planning of doing that or anything.

Hit by Ike

Last night we had a pretty big storm with pretty high winds. However, it felt like a relief since it had been so hot yesterday. I woke up to find our yard covered with branches and the whole sidewalk from my house to the school was all covered in branches. At school everyone had their own story. Half the kids had lost power and one of my teachers had a tree fall on her husband's new car. It turned out that it was really Ike. As soon as it hit hit Houston it sped up to about 30 mph coming strait in our direction. Luckily it had died down to a tropical storm so the wind speed wasn't so high.

Food Court Musical

Lately this movie has been a big hit in our house. We are now constantly singing parts from this movie so I just had to put it of the blog.

6 great facts about me

I will now amaze you all and post six facts about me cause I was tagged by aunt rachel.

I have simplefied the rules down to

1. write 6 facts about yourself

I hope no one minds.

1. I know most of the songs on my playlists so well that I often get side tracked while reading other peoples posts as I start to mouth the words.

2. I live in a broken home. Literally. Everything in our house seems broken. Camera, laptop keyboard, paint pealing off the side of the house, ext...

3. My best friend laughs at everything I say, even things that weren't meant to be funny.

4. I like to run, swim, and bike which gives me a great oppertunity to become a triatholete.

5. I talk to myself a lot. Sometimes even in public. For some reason it helps me think better. I often give myself directions telling how to do something or narrate my actions.

6. I walk/bike a mile no matter what (aside from broken feet and really cold weather) to school, rain or shine.

P.S. I'm really bad at spelling. This post I decided not to fix anything with spell check. Can you guess how many things the spell check said were spelled wrong?

Book Covers

True students make their own bookcovers for school.

Slugs (or Macoroni)

This is simply just a piece of macoroni that both my dad and I thought looked like a slug. I certinly like the taste of this slug!

First two school days

Yesterday and today were my first days of school. Overall they were fun and I have friends in a lot of my classes. However, I am not so happy that I have to wake up 3 hours earlier than usually and I am really looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.

I have decided to tell you about each of my classes and their teachers.

Advisory/homeroom: Advisory is fun. However this year we have a lot of kids in it. There is about 30 kids and we have trouble seating everyone.
Mrs. Hakewell

English: English is okay. I really don't have any friends in this class. It sounds like we are going to do some fun things.
Mrs. Rodzinka
