Go Nature!

I am going camping! Yes! Awesome! I enjoy camping.
Today is also Friday and I have only 3 days left of school!
Yay!
And I have a couple finals on Monday and Tuesday...
Not so yay.
But still, fun stuff. :P
We got our yearbooks todayyy! Lots and lots of signatures and fun times were had, and there are still more that I intend to acquire. :D
Oh my gosh, I just can't believe how much excitement and intensity is being packed into the next week of my life! Yeah! Well. I can believe it. But still! Oh my goodness, the crash that I will be having the second week of summer. I'll probably end up sleeping for a couple days straight. xD
Anyway, I'm leaving for TURKEY RUN now! to go CAMPING! er.. in about 10 minutes!
So this post is basically over...
Bye!

Hungry Hungry Hungry

Pretty much all I can think about right now is how hungry I am. Hahahaha! Yeah, but luckily we're going to get dinner(thai food and pizza!) in a bit. I just wanted to do a quick post first, mainly so I could share the song I have below. It's called "Lady Labyrinth" by Ludovico Einaudi, and I quite like it. :P So, listen to it. All of it. :D

It's Such a Perfect Day

We have a three day weekend! Hurrah! I'm so glad to have Monday off :D
I plan to make the most of this extra time!

...By sleeping! ...Well, no, not really.

Instead I shall spend my weekend:

• perfecting my ability to throw discus, if it is nice enough outside :] (I bought a discus on Wednesday ^_^)
• working on this project we have in science where we have to do a presentation on a natural disaster (I chose to study hurricanes)
• rollerblading! again, only if I find the weather to be appropriate.. it is supposed to rain I believe, but hey, I can still go outside if it's just drizzling a bit!
• finding a recipe to make for my Spanish class, as we're having a pitch-in food day for Cinco de Mayo
• doing all my other homework xD because I have a lot.

I never post videos, but I feel like I should! So here's this:
















grr! Can't embed the video. Just click to view it on YouTube then. ^_^

Also, did you know that rainbows occur when water droplets reflect light at a 42 degree angle?

I Recycle Paper!

I also recycle wood by burning it so I can keep myself warm and toast marshmallows.

 Happy Earth Day!

How do you do your part to help THE ENVIRONMENT which we are constantly surrounded by?

The Nature of Being

I can hardly believe it, but it's 9ish in the evening and I have finished all the homework to be done for tomorrow, as well as the other stuff that I felt compelled to finish up ahead of time. Wow. I could go to bed at 9:30 if I wanted! ...but I won't. Well... I might. I just might, because I am exhausted from a long day of school! and track! and WORK! and all the other exhaustion that simply comes from being! and thinking! about people! and stuff! and yeah, so I'm tired.

In other news, I just had a huge weight of stress lifted from my shoulders yesterday! What, you may wonder, was causing this stress? The thought of having to play my flute for the band/orchestra director at Brebeuf. It was this placement sort of testy thingy, I guess, to see which music ensemble I should go into next year. And I was so nervous. SOOO nervous! But, thankfully, it all turned out okay, I didn't embarrass myself, and the band director was nice! Yay!

Speaking of next year, highschool, the future, and all that, another thing I can hardly believe is the short amount of time we have left in the school year. It's like, what, five weeks? Six? Something around there. I've still not decided whether this makes me extremely happy, apprehensive, or sad. Because, there is so much to rejoice in the nearness of summer, but then again, that means highschool is all the closer, hence my apprehension. And of course it brings sadness as well, since, once this school year ends, I won't see any of my friends again in school. There are a lot of people I'm going to miss. How depressing! Change is just so difficult sometimes.

And all I can say now is, rest in peace Mr. Akin. He was the principal of my elementary school, and he passed away this past Thursday.

Español Es Muy Divertido, ¿No?

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!

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.
