Hugs Are Valuable Just Like Sarcasm

It is FALL! Halloween is nearing! Excitement! Fall break was last week (Oct. 22-25) and my family went to the most wonderful New York City! It was great fun, doing touristy things, visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, sitting in Times Square, seeing Wicked on Broadway. :] I had a nice time. I'd definitely love to go back again sometime, although I have to wonder what it's like to live there. Probably pretty tiring. Maybe even more so than school! If you can believe that... Darn all this homework and such, I haven't been able to get to carving my pumpkins. :[ I shall be resolute in getting to it tomorrow!

We Are Dropping Like Flies

Again. Another week zips by! A little different this time though because I'm home from school this Friday, sick with a sore throat and slight fever. Sigh. I've spent the day sleeping, coughing up my insides, and drinking tea with honey. The first and third activities helped a bit. I dislike being absent from school. I guess I'm just a nerd like that, though mainly I'm just not a big fan of figuring out and doing all the work I miss. Work. Blegh. Oh look at that, seems it's time for another nap.

If You Want To Destroy My Sweater

This week went by like... "BOOM. Whoa, it's Friday?" Exactly like that. Of course, it was an uninteresting week. Let's see. Laura, Chris, and I worked together on a science project where groups had to construct a holder that would keep an egg from breaking from a long drop. OUR EGG DID NOT BREAK! Yay. :] Other than that, on Friday the band had an event planned that happens every year where we play with the other middle school bands and the high school marching band before a football game at the high school. It rained all Thursday and Friday. The event was canceled. Darn. Oh well, at least it was nice this weekend which allowed me to have a campfire! Yay campfires! :] And my only homework this weekend is a book report where I need to describe my book to the class and write a short summary, that I'm done with! YAY! :] Now... Now, I need to find something interesting and productive to do..

I Will Set Fire To It/Him!

We only have two weeks left in this school quarter. Can we really almost have a fourth of the year over with? Wow.

Besides this quarter going by in an oddly quick way, this past week did the same. I was anticipating running the 1.8 mile in gym class all week, but it was again avoided. (we were supposed to run it Monday, I think? I'm not sure, but it just keeps getting pushed away for our class)Anyway, the 1.8.. not so bad, yet I'm not looking forward to when it comes. I need it though. I need all the good grading I can get in gym frankly, as I have a B+. Or something like that. It's bothering me. I cannot possibly end this quarter with a my only B grade in wellness. I refuse!! The reason I have it is that my darn wellness(gym, health class, p.e., whatever) teacher's tests over sports such as football, tennis, and rugby are all just 10 questions so when you miss only 2 or 3... it's not good. Blegh. Is it really all that important that I understand the rules of these sports? I mean, if these were tests over health information, facts about the human body or staying fit, well then it would be a different story. But sports? I exercise and put forth effort when we play in gym, shouldn't that be enough? Anyway, enough of that rant. I've been complaining about it for some time now, and I will accept it's my fault I missed the problems on these tests that have cost me my grade. (even though I studied A LOT, and stilled failed, for the tests following my first blunder)

Now. It's almost 12.. Why am I up this late?! It's Friday! But I really should sleep.. And sleep I will! I think I may get up at 11am.. On Sunday. That seems sufficient.
