I needed to write a six or more sentence paragraph(in Spanish) describing myself or any athlete I know as part of my Spanish homework. Since I am so nice I've decided to post my wonderful and most magnificent paragraph, written about my dearest amiga Natalie. See if you can translate! (try google translate if Spanish isn't for you) :P Hopefully this is grammatically correct...
Mi amiga Natalie es una atleta! Ella corre con mi despues de escuela. Cuando corremos, todo lo que necesitamos son nuestras pies, zapatos, y el suelo. Natalie también juega al voleibol. Cuando juegas al voleibol, necesitas una pelota y una cancha para el partido. También es importante tener un equipo bueno. No sé si el equipo de Natalie gana mucho, pero Natalie es siempre una ganadora para mí!
Congratulations! You have arrived at a fantastic pillar of nonfiction internet literature.

You Are What You Eat?
Yesterday marked the beginning of my spring break. So far so good! I spent the day reading (Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson) and laying outside, and also picked up a bunch of the pine cones littering our backyard. Being my typical self I just had to spend about 15 minutes simply sitting and scraping sap off cones so I could burn it... It's fun, okay? Sap is especially fun to scrape from our pine trees in the summer when it just oozes out all over. It interests me to wonder what the actual composition of sap is exactly..
Today, since it rained, was spent mainly indoors. Most of my morning was devoted to finishing my book and then the rest of my time was used in making chocolate cupcakes for Easter at my granny and pa's tomorrow. They're quite cute, and delicious, treats if I do say so myself. Half have chocolate icing and half have vanilla, and each one is sprinkled with colored sugar and has three jellybeans in the center. ^_^ I also decorated my extra cupcakes as ninjas, and one was a chicken. :D
If I eat ninjas...
...does that make me a ninja?
I hope so.
(...or does that make me a cupcake ninja? ...or a cupcake chicken? ...or just a plain old cupcake?)
Note: I am trying to maintain a waking up hour of 8:30ish each morning over spring break, since that's when I've awoken naturally for the past two days. So I should probably get to bed. Oh and also, according to the blogger dashboard this is my 300th post. So, ah, yay! Let the cupcakes be my celebration.
Second note: I just realized that since it's past 12am, it's technically Sunday. Time to sleep yes.

Hot Orange Spice Tea..
..it's my constant companion when sick. :] And today, I am sick. :[ I've been feeling ill since, I'm not sure, Wednesday last week I suppose. I was getting sick already, but I blame track for provoking it. The first day in particular, as it was cold and I chose to leave my sweatshirt inside the building, wearing only a t-shirt and knit capris to run in. I make such good decisions, right? So now, I've been suffering congestion, sore throat, overall ache, etc. I stayed home on Thursday in hopes of recovery, but it didn't seem to help. Now, I'm hoping staying home today will make me all better for school tomorrow! I'm sick of being sick.
On a more positive note, I am actually enjoying track. The feeling you get after practice, where you're so sore, but pleased with yourself for the exercise, I love it! It's nice to be active, especially considering I don't participate in any other sports.
Looking out the window right now, there's clear blue sky and sun, it just makes me wish I were outside running around. Sigh* spring! SPRINGGG! I love it. Even the rain, which we experienced yesterday, puts me in a good mood. The only thing that I'm slightly dreading is the heat that's going to come eventually. That tends to make it a little more difficult to appreciate track.
Also, another of my sick companions: the music of Jason Mraz, Gavin DeGraw, Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, and the rest of the music pandora deems similar. Seriously, I've been listening all day, and it greatly improves my mood. ^_^
Note: And now I've found out that I have three tests tomorrow. hyperventilating* I need to study. Agh.

3.141592653589...
It's time to celebrate! Oh yes! Because:
Also, numero 4! Spring is my favorite season. It pleases me greatly. ^_^ What with the not too hot/cold weather, budding plant life, rain, sun and clouds, and even the smellll of spring. What a wonderful time.
Point #1, now that I think about it, does have its downsides. I've really enjoyed being in the musicals at Clay. This year and in the years past I've had so much fun. So, now that the play is over it sort of brings on more of the realization that highschool is coming closer. More importantly, Brebeuf is coming closer. shudders* I am excited and yet, I find myself afraid. I'm not sure. I just don't want to lose any of the people that I love to be around here at Clay. And what if I fail at making new friends?! Aack!
Hmm, well this is all out of order, but I suppose I should talk about Number 2 as well... Basically, I enjoy running. And exercise makes me feel happy and healthy. So I'm fairly excited for track. Well. Not excited. Just, glad that it's here. I'm not hugely overjoyed or anything. xD
- The play is over, both performances were great, and the whole experience was fun
- Track starts tomorrow... I am going.. that's a good reason to celebrate! I guess? I mostly enjoy track, exhaustion, sore muscles, and all!
- Today is PI DAY
- It is SPRING. (for the most part) I love that.

Some Things Just Happen
This weekend was quite eagerly awaited. It's a nice reprieve, as we had no play practice on Saturday when we would normally. (although the principle cast went from 10am to 12, HAha)
I also have hardly any homework! How pleasing!
So, I spent Saturday relaxing and I intend to do the same today. Therefore, I have nothing interesting to report.
Sorry.
Well. I have one thing... I BURNT MY HAND. OW. D:
It's true. I burnt the side of my right hand yesterday. On our toaster oven. :[ I now have three tender, blistery, pinkish places on my hand.
No fear though! I shall recover! To be honest it doesn't hurt too much anymore. But gosh, it was quite a pain last night.

The Seagull's Name is Jonathan
We had to wear our costumes today at practice. Urg. I guess I don't mind wearing a matronly, light green, floor length dress... too much. I guess.
Sooo, this Saturday we took a bit of a field trip after play practice on Thursday! We went to Hook's drugstore (an old-timey sort of drugstore, museum, and candy store) to "get into character" and "learn about the time period" ...that sort of thing. ^_^ And of course, to learn the difference between an ice cream soda and an ice cream float. It is a key bit of info which all people should be acquainted with:
Soda=carbonated drink and flavoring and ice cream mixed together
Float=just soda pop aka "phosphate" with ice cream in it
Okay. So mainly I went to get the ice cream soda.
And. It. Was. Yummy. (mine was cherry flavoring with chocolate ice cream)
I also purchased some candy. There is no resisting candy.
Also, today and tomorrow we have ISTEP+(Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus, what's with the "Plus" part?) Which MEANS: No extra homework today! We'll still have shortened classes tomorrow though, in addition to the testing. Phooey. Anyway, we had MATHEMATICS and ENGLISH testing today. For the prompt we needed to write a fictional story about someone who does something they were afraid of doing or didn't think they could accomplish. I wrote about a girl who's afraid of elevators. xD
Now, I need to stop typing stuff on here and finish the project I now need to do for Language Arts. I thought it was due on Friday, but it's actually due Wednesday... Sigh!
ONE MORE THING: My mouth is blue! :P It's the result of one of the candies I got from Hook's which is deliciously blueberry flavored and full of artificial blue coloring. Fantastic!

I Am No Cannibal!
I don't eat people! Just in case anyone might've been wondering.
Because, of course, it's a totally relevant and obvious possibility that anyone might ask about..
It has been awhile since my last post. Not much has happened.
More play practice, which has been fun and entertaining. :D And hmmm. Monotony. Homework. That sort of thing.
The wire for my bottom braces keeps coming out at the back which is annoying. Need to go get that fixed.. Ow. It pokes me in the cheek. Not like anyone needs to know this, but it's quite a bother!
Now, I am switching between eating beans, practicing flute, typing, and studying science. Multitasking for the win! And soon, thanks to my mama when she gets home, I will be able to add a Steak 'N Shake mint cookies 'n cream milkshake to the list of tasks. Hopefully I'll have finished the beans...
