Our L.A. teacher used to coach field hockey in the beginning of her 45 year career of teaching. She claims she used to have muscles, but now they're all blobs in her arms. One practice at field hockey the ball rolls under the fence. One of her very athletic players decides they can climb the 8 foot fence and get the ball back. She reaches to the very top of the fence to swing over onto the other side of the fence when something goes wrong. Very wrong. The squeamish may not want to read the following. Also if you are pregnant, prone to heart attacks, or have high blood pressure please consult a doctor before reading the following. The players wrist goes through the point at the top of the fence and is left dangling at the top of the fence, screaming as loud as 4 jet planes and a motorcycle. My L.A. teacher climbs up to the top of the fence and lifts the student up over the fence and carries the student back down. BLEAH!!!! Now you're thinking of why you read this I'm guessing...
Welcome to my school.

Happy New Year!!!
Ahhhh... well I've finally settled back down to normal life after my week vacation (Yes, we only get one week of vacation >:(((( ) and nothing is different.
In school, we have a heritage project to do, involving us going back in time and finding out about our ancestors and figuring out where they came from, then sharing the info with our friends and Social studies teacher. Of course there is a catch. First, the class fills out a packet, but that isn't to bad because I'd much rather do a packet than worksheets because 1. Organized :) and 2. We have our choice of doing the packet all at once, or a page a day. Kind of weird... After we get the packet all dealt with, the class makes a passport with all the countries our ancestors went through to get to the United States. My ancestors started on the edge of west Germany near the Black Forest, which is the location of most Brother Grimm fairy tales. Anyways (I'm easily distracted if you can't tell already) they started in Germany, came through France, sailed on a ship named the Astracan and arrived at the port of New Orleans. That's easy enough, right? Well now we have to make a 2D version of what the immigrant would look like. I thought Lederhosen would be a good idea. Short shorts pulled up above his belly button, bright t-short, suspenders and a nice hat. I haven't gotten to that part of the project yet, but I hope it turns out well. The last final part of the project is kind of easy for me :) Make a dish from the time period of the country. I have a couple options here:
1.Hot dog (frankfurter)
2.Hamburger
3.Horseradish
The three h's. Most popular there would probably be hamburger, until it got cold. My Social Studies class isn't until 11:13, which would be a speed bump, so I guess I'll make horseradish :'(
In language art class (same teacher as social studies), we must write a persuasive paper, trying to say if the book we read, The White Mountains by John Christopher (Samuel Yoder), was a good book or a bad one. My teacher says that we won't change her mind about the book no matter how powerful the essay is, giving the essay no point. In my opinion I don't recommend the book because it gives sci-fi a bad name by making the book a mystery part by making the book 2000 years in the future and having no technology left on the surface of the planet because EVIL tripods almost wiped out the human race by putting every human under mind control. Ahem, War of The Worlds in a way.... just not as violent and gory.
On another subject, every user on YouTube is a critic. Here are some "quoted comments":
" wow..............8-) pointless and disgusting "
" very creative, but if you look closely, it's clearly fake...the musical intervals do not match up...still cool though." On a guy playing the keyboard with juggling balls
" thats boring" On this!!! I lost the page with the comment. Look at artistic pool 2 and 3 too!
Well have a good day and try to be nicer on your youtube comments :P

Sick
I've been feeling not so good since this morning and I've stayed home from school today. I don't know what sort of disaise I have but it makes me feel very dizzy. I don't feel terrible, just tired and I have a headache and a soar throat. Is it the flu?
Being sick, you have nothing to do except sit around and sleep. Here are some true time killers for when ever like being sick or being bored at work. Have fun.
Line Flyer 2.0, Draw a line and he rides it. requires flash 8
Tanks, Play with your friends or against the computer. No matter what, it's all out war
Bowman 2, Are you really a sharp shooter?
Kick Ups 2, Pointless, but dangerously addicting.
Mini Pool, Timed Pool yet challenging and incredibly addicting. Not recomended for those who get easily frustrated.
Fishy, You are a fish, your mission, eat smaller fish and get really really fat.
Stick RPG complete, You are a stick figure trying to get by after being teleported into 2D land.

Recess
At most middle schools, there is no recess. We come up after lunch basically bouncing of the walls from some of the food we eat. My L.A. teacher and science teacher have tried to fight this in different ways. LA. teacher wants her students to watch their diet and not eat anything to cause some hyper active charge to surge through their body and make them, hyper. My science teacher wants a little 10 minute break after lunch for us to just run around and get all of the sugary goodness out of our body.
What do you think?

An Intresting Day
Today, my L.A. Teacher got very angry at me today because I left two papers in my locker. She was screaming very loudly, which doesn't really make the situating better, unless she likes to see me scared. Anyways, I feel like a target. I've already gotten a pointless detention.
Well tommorow, we hit the 3/8 mark of school. I felt like this has been a pretty quick year. :)

Global Warming
How many of you like snow? How many of you like your car? Which do you like better? Of course most of you honestly know that you like your car more than snow. When you are in your car and it snowed, it's hard to get around, but it won't snow if you keep driving, so your problem is out of the way. When i'm older, sea level will be so much higher than it is right now. There will not be any more beaches. The entire east coast will be under water. I know as a fact I don't want that to happen, ever. It doesn't look good where this is heading and I can't do anything except walk everywhere and try to preserve heat, but you as an adult can change the world.

My Day at School
To tell the truth, 6th grade teachers that I have are a little out of hand. You know, kind of on the crazy side. My language arts teacher says that Wikipedia is being sued and is going go off the web due to lack of money when 1. Wikipedia is a nonprofit organization and 2. There is no evidence on any of the news sites that Wikipedia is being sued in the first place.
My science teacher gives us all the sports news for about half of our class time. Today we talked about what Allen Iverson (76ers Point Guard) did and how he got traded to another team. Good ol' Allen was supposed to go to some big wig party with all of is sponsors that made him rich, for some of the sponsors who have never met Iverson and for a celebration for being in the NBA or what not.... Iverson claims to not being feeling to good, so he did not go. What a mean way to destroy some of peoples dreams to meet the NBA legend. The coach gave him the boot for this. I don't understand sports at all....
Today in gym, we tried out something new, balance balls! I couldn't balance on the ball in all the odd positions we had to get into. I was kind of good at push ups on the ball because I get to put my hands on the floor. Next gym class we will be climbing 35ft and we can't wear jeans. To bad for me, every single piece of my pants that don't have holes in them or are to small are jeans.
This is my everday life of my first year of middle school. Well there is now way out, so may as well make the best out of it. Good night.
P.S. I forgot my user name for along time. Now I'm back!
