Speech Group

Blue, the kid in my speech group. Is. So. ANNOYING!!
So I put a lot of effort into designing the PowerPoint we were going to use. That was my job-- to design the PowerPoint. Then he says, "Can you send it to me? I want to see it. I'll make changes if it confuses me, then I'll send it back to you." So I sent it to him, and he completely destroyed it. He changed the fonts, everything. I originally had it so that we (him, another kid, and me) could tell whose slide what whose, so we wouldn't be confused. But then I guess Blue had another idea, so he put picture backgrounds behind the slides and changed things up. It used to look professional on some level (with the color scheme and the placement of the words) but now it looks like something a sixth grader made.

Voice... Is Back! (Kinda...)

My voice is kind of back... It still sounds really rusty, though. I'm eating cough drops. They're apparently from Elizabeth's mom.
Elizabeth, you'll get this, but no one else will cause you're the only one that speaks Chinese and I know know how to say it in English: It tastes like shuan mei.
Okay, well... great. Now Elizabeth knows what it tastes like (it's not something bad, it's a kind of food that doesn't really exist in America) but you guys don't...
Whatever. You probably never have eaten it, anyway.
But, for the record, it's a kind of sliced up, dried prune or something coated in sour stuff. I only like certain kinds of it...

Homework Again!!

Ugh... WHY DOES BIOLOGY HOMEWORK HAVE TO INCLUDE LITTLE TINY PIECES OF PAPER??

Beethoven!

We were listening to the radio during dinner, and when a familiar song came on my mom said, "Four Seasons!" Um, NO, mother, that would be Symphony 6 in F Major, Opus 68, 'Pastoral', Beethoven. How would I know? We played it in orchestra last year! So I whipped out my orchestra binder, flipped to that song, found where they were playing, and looked along with it.
I think orchestra's a little too interesting for me than it should be...

!!!!!!!!!

Anyone remember 'Are You My Mother'?

YAY SAM!

YAY!!!!!!! SAM FINALLY POSTED!!!!!!!! And she probably won't even be reading this post...

Lollipops and Candy Canes!

I have been instructed to eat hard candy (lollipops, candy canes, etc.) because I lost my voice and eating hard candy helps. Yep.

And I was going to help my World Geography teacher do a video where all I had to do was read a line off something, but I lost my voice and finally halfway convinced my friend to go and take my place. Lucky for her, my teacher's phone wasn't able to transfer videos, so she got out of it.

'1812'

My orchestra sightread the entire '1812' overture today.
Whew!

Writing Contest

This kid in Chinese class challenged me to a short story writing competition. The guidelines are it has to be between one full page to three pages, Times New Roman twelve point font, 1.5-spaced, and no space after paragraphs.
We won't put our names on them, and then we'll pass them around and see which one people like better.
I'm wondering which story I should use...
I don't even know if he's going to write one, but I'll have mine just in case. ;)

Voice

I'm losing my voice, and even so my mom is asking me a lot of quesions... I can't answer! I can't talk! Well, I can, but my voice is fading.

Elephant

Elephant (the girl who got beat up) is back at school! She looks okay, like nothing happened...

UGHHHHHHH

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...
Ch1k3n's so... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... *crashes head on desk*

Chair Test

Right now I am in the middle of recording my chair test...
Like I was doing about two weeks ago... except for some reason, it didn't send in the right format or whatever, so it didn't get to my teacher so that she could open it.
So now I'm doing it again using another software.
I'm stopping for a minute or so cause Ch1k3n is vaccuuming his backpack, and I can't record unless I want vaccuum in the background.

YAY! Magazines!!

I just got the magazines I ordered...
I got them in seventh grade, then my mom was making fun of me reading then (it's one of those 'girl' magazines... Called 'Discovery Girl') so I didn't order them in eighth grade. I got a Christian 'girl' magazine instead, and no offense, but that was really boring... So I switched back to the other one, which is longer and has more... stuff in it overall.

*sigh*

I just got back home from, like, three days at my grandparent's ranch (we left Friday morning) and I only have four new emails...
Two which are from teachers...
