Two Weeks Before Spring Break!

I am so happy today is Friday! It feels like this week has dragged on forever, and next week's finals! On the bright side, there's only two more weeks until spring break!

We had a test in world history today. It was pretty hard. We had to write an essay comparing Animal Farm to the Russian Revolution, and I think mine was one of the longest essays I've ever written for a test.

In child development, we had a test too. After the test, we got to make cookies, and eat a bunch of other (healthy) snack foods. The cookies were awesome!

My third and (thankfully) last test of the day was in Spanish. I'm not really sure how well I did on it. Let's hope it's not another F...

We didn't do a whole lot in English. We read some of two different books (one we're going to be tested on and the other we're just discussing), and talked about sonnets. She also told us what we need to study for our finals next week. That was about it.

I'm in the middle of chapter ten of Titian by Mark Hudson right now. That's over half way done! I feel like a lot of the stuff is getting drawn out now. I'm a little bored with it, but not enough to stop reading it.

International Day of Awesomeness

Today is the International Day of Awesomeness! Is that not one of the most awesome holidays ever?

We finished watching Animal Farm in world history today, and then we talked about comparisons between it and the Russian Revolution. I was actually surprised by how much I liked it.

Our Spanish teacher told us in class today that she's decided our final next week is just going to be a huge vocab quiz/test. I'm excited since my problem is writing sentences and conjugating verbs. Our chapter test is Friday! I think I understand this chapter pretty well though. Of course, I thought that last time too. Let's hope I actually do understand it this time.

I finished writing my cause and effect essay today in English. The topic I wrote about was, "I'm happy that we're going to Florida this summer." I got to write a whole paragraph about the Harry Potter theme park. I always love when I have a chance to incorporate Harry Potter into homework.

I watched episode 43 of Naruto last night. Awesome episode. I can't wait to see whether Naruto wins is fight or not!

Animal Farm

Has it really been three days since I last posted? Doesn't feel like it.

I've watched another episode of Naruto. Awesome episode. I love the storyline with Sakura and Ino.

I've also read a couple of chapters of Titian by Mark Hudson. I'm starting to get a little bored of it honestly. It still is interesting sometimes, but there are some parts that really bore me.

We started watching Animal Farm in world history because we just finished learning about the Russian Revolution. It's strange so far. Not bad necessarily, just strange.

For the first time this year, I feel like I actually fully understand what we learned in Spanish today. Let's hope that's a good sign.

Nashville and Shaken Baby Syndrome

I was going to post yesterday. I even got as far as opening whatever this place is called where you type, but then I decided I was just too sick and tired to focus on writing anything. Luckily, today I'm feeling much better (although definitely not completely).

There was a meeting at school today for anyone who qualified for the trip to Nashville. My school has a trip every year for kids who meet certain requirements. I could have gone last year because I was student of the month, but I didn't for two reasons. The first reason was that I didn't even know I had qualified for it until it was too late. Second, I didn't care anyway because they went to a baseball game. I'm not a baseball fan. This year I qualify because I have perfect attendance (it's only the second time in my life that's ever happened). We're going to Nashville this year. We're supposed to go to the Country Music Hall of Fame, go on a tour of historic downtown, and eat lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. If I go I have to be at school by 6:30 in the morning. I'm not sure if I'm going to go or not.

Speaking of meetings I attended this morning, I also had a Key Club meeting this morning. Nothing exciting really happened. We did nominate people for officers next year.

We've watched two videos about Shaken Baby Syndrome over the past two days in child development. One was called Elijah's Story and one was called Mighty Like a Rose. They were both incredibly sad! Never ever shake a baby! Those stories were horrible! We learned that a baby would have to fall off of a 13-story building to get the same amount of injuries they would get from being shaken, and it only takes a few seconds. It's horrible!

I got my test from the other day back in Spanish. I got an F. I don't know what to do about this class! I study, but I can never do it when it comes to taking tests!

This post has to have the most random title ever. Not random I guess, but strange nonetheless. A strange combination for a title.

I Hate Drawing

I was planning on doing a longer post today, but I forgot that I need to do fiv drawings for art. I'm going to make this short, so I can finish the two drawings I still have to do. I have no clue what I'm going to draw.

We took a test in Spanish today. I feel better about this one then I have others in the past, so we'll see how I did on it.

I watched episode 41 of Naruto today. It wasn't awesome like the other episodes have been lately, but I really liked it. I love Sakura and Ino's relationship. I don't really like how they fight over Sasuke though...

I also read chapter four of Titian by Mark Hudson. I enjoyed it.
