I Love Two-Hour Delays

We've had two-hour delays the past two days! It's been amazing being able to sleep in a little longer than normal. Sadly, we have to go to school at the normal time tomorrow. At least tomorrow's Friday!

Not much has happened the past two days. My best friend Summer and her brother came over each morning and went to school with us because of the two-hour delays.

On Wednesday, we watched a video about the book The Jungle that was written in the early 1900's. Today we just did worksheets.

In art the past two days, we've just been working on our drawings. We're drawing the four basic forms. I'm finished drawing each of them with pencil, and tomorrow I'll start drawing them with ink. By ink, I don't mean pens. We have to use these old fashioned calligraphy pens (I'm not sure what they're actually called). I hope they're not hard to use. The ink won't come out if you get it on anything, so I really hope I don't get it on me. I already have spots on my jacket from when I got paint on it the first half of the year.

We've been learning about birth defects the past two days in child development. We've also been working on a scrapbook page that we have to make of ourselves when we were babies.

Spanish II is probably the hardest class I've ever taken! We just started learning about the predicate form of verbs! We only went over it for the first time about two days ago, and the test is tomorrow! That's a whole lot of stuff to memorize! I was studying like crazy earlier, and I think I understand it pretty well. I just hope I don't completely forget everything before the test tomorrow. I really need to get a good grade on this test after how bad I did on my first two tests in the class.

We took a vocab test in English yesterday, and I did pretty well. We've also started learning about the different types of pronouns. We learned about indefinite pronouns today. We've also been getting ready to start reading another story.

That's been basically all I've done the past two days. I'm going to read another chapter of A Not-So-Silent Night by Verlyn D Verbugge tonight, so I'll talk about it in my next post.

I Finally Posted a One-Shot!

We had another snow day today! At this rate, we're barely going to have a summer break. It's supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow morning, so we may not have school tomorrow either. They already put us on a two-hour delay. I'm so happy that I get to sleep in an extra two hours. Not sure how I'd feel about another snow day. I'd be happy not having snow, but I do not want to make up any more snow days.

I didn't really do anything. I painted my nails which I hadn't done in forever (over a year I think). I suck at painting nails, so they look really horrible. I mean really, really horrible. I probably got more nail polish on my hands then I did my nails, and I'm not exaggerating much.

You know those Avatar one-shots I keep mentioning but hadn't posted yet? The first one's finally up! You can read it here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5732012/1/A_TNG_OneShots_and_Drabbles

It took me forever to get it up. First, my laptop and flash drive both refused to save it in the right format. Then, I lost it, had to re-type it, and had trouble saving it yet again. Finally, I get it saved in the right format, and fanfiction.net messes up the formatting. So, I had to delete it from fanfiction.net and upload it yet again. Thankfully, I finally got it up. It's pretty stupid because, if you read it, it's incredibly short. That's a good thing really considering I had to re-type it. I can't believe that I went through all that trouble for something so short. I guess it shows how important writing is to me. Plus, there are probably a lot of people who are disappointed that I haven't updated in a while, so this is better than nothing.

I also watched episode 34 of Naruto earlier. It was a really good episode. It was cool learning a little about Gaara. Even though I technically know more about him then I should at this point, I still learned some stuff I didn't know in this episode. Does that make sense?

I wish I could see the future, and knew if we'd have school or not tomorrow.

The Last Airbender Commercial

I'm currently watching the Super Bowl. I don't like football, but I like watching the commercials. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter commercial was good, but The Last Airbender commercial was so freaking awesome! I absolutely loved it! It gave me more hope that the movie will be good.

I watched episode 33 of Naruto the other day. It was amazing! Probably would have been even better if I didn't already know what's going on with Sasuke. It was still awesome though!

I also read chapter 9 of A Not-So-Silent Night by Verlyn D. Verbugge. It was pretty interesting. I only have two more chapters and a conclusion, and I'll be finished with the book.

I can't believe I have to go to school tomorrow. It doesn't feel like a Sunday for some reason.

Learning a New Language is Hard!

The past few days I have had so much homework! It feels like all my teachers got together and decided they were all going to give a bunch of homework on the same days. Today, I had about half of what I had the two days before, but it still took me longer than usual. Thank God tomorrow is Friday!

We took a test in world history today. I think I did pretty well.

I have to finish my drawing in art tomorrow because it's the last day of the grading period, so if it's not done then I get a zero. I think I'll be able to finish it though.

In child development, the teacher was preparing us to take home the baby simulators. She put one of them on demonstration mode, and each one of us had to do something with it. I had to rock it/her. It made me feel a little better about the assignment. I'm not looking forward to having to rush in the shower or being woken up in the middle of the night. I'm going to be incredibly cranky the next day, and I really hope I'm able to get my homework done. Thank God it's only for one night.

We took a quiz in Spanish. I think I did good on it which is really good considering how I've done on the two tests we've taken so far (an F and a D). Spanish II is so hard! If English is the hardest language to learn, I feel so sorry for anyone who learns it because Spanish is incredibly hard to learn (for me at least).

We read a part of I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou in English, so today we had a long discussion about different types of prejudices. That was about all we did besides go over vocab, and discuss our homework about the story.

I'm going to read a chapter of A Not-So-Silent Night by Verlyn D. Verbugge tonight, so I'll talk about that in my next blog.

Homework Overload

I should absolutely not be writing this. I have so much homework left to do. Oh well, I need a break anyway. Plus I didn't write a blog yesterday. I'll try to make this quick.

You know those Avatar one-shots I keep talking about but have yet to post on fanfiction.net? I wrote yet another one today. It's the fourth one and I haven't even posted the first yet! Not to mention the I also really need to be working on Avatar: The Next Generation. Those one-shots will be up soon!

One of my most absolute favorite Twilight fanfictions ever ended yesterday. You should all check it out. It's called She Hates Me by HM_Grayson over on fanfiction.net. It's in Nessie's point of view, and the story follows her as she grows up. It isn't really a romance story, and there aren't really any huge couples in it. You can find some Jacob/Nessie, Seth/Nessie, and Jacob/Leah though. Those last two aren't couples I usually support (although I've certainly read fanfiction for them before), but it was so well written now that I love those couples (just in that one story though)! You should definitely go check it out if you're a Twilight fan!

There was more I wanted to talk about, but I have so much homework that I'm going to end it there.
