It's kind of interesting reading my old blogs.

Ugh School

I liked how we had a longer winter break than normal, but it was still not long enough. I hope I'm going to like my schedule better next semester because my teachers are all ok but I hate the order of my classes. I have all my best subjects in the morning, and then my afternoon goes really slow. I hate having biology 6th hour because it is my least favorite class and it always seems like it is never going to end. I just realized I still need to turn in my schedule for next year. I need to do that soon because I want to ask my counselor something about it.

I'm so glad that it's the weekend. Tomorrow I think I will go to see my friend's cheer meet. It is so long because it starts at seven in the morning and goes all afternoon too. I really want to see the third round when they do the stunts, so I'm going to ask her if she could text me before it starts. That way I don't have to stay all day.

Next weekend I'm going to help my other friend get ready for the Spanish final. We try to have conversations but it's so frustrating when you can't figure out how to say something. Last night I was over at her house, and my other friend thought we were talking about her in Spanish, but we were trying to talk about what we like to do on weekends. She didn't have to worry because the only insult I know in Spanish is "idota" and I think she could have figured that one out. I'm not really worried about finals. I just like how we get all those half days. We should get half days any time we have to take a big test.

It's Almost Break!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what would be nice? If we got all the time between the start of Thanksgiving Break and the end of Christmas Break off from school. I am so tired of getting up early and I wish that we would just have a snow day so that I could sleep in, but so far that hasn't happened. My brother spent all day Sunday throwing ice cubes into the yard and the road, trying to make the ground colder. I told him that it wouldn't make any difference. Then when my friend and her brother were over at our house, my brother was telling her brother that he also flushed ice cubes down the toilet to make the rivers and ground water colder (eventually). My friend's brother also told Joe that the tiny percentage of a degree colder was completely pointless. That's what I had tried to tell him. My brother is twelve, so he should know better.

A few days ago, two of my friends and I went to see the movie Bolt. We were laughing because everybody else our age in the theater was going to see the movie Twilight. But Bolt was really a cute movie. Then later, my brother looked it up on the internet for us and Bolt actually had much better reviews, so we laughed again.

Twelve school days until Christmas Break, I can't wait! I am going to try to see all of my friends to give them their Christmas presents, but last year we didn't manage to all get together until New Years. We slept over at one of my friend's houses in her basement, which was cool because it is fully furnished like an apartment. The floor was a mess because we spilled fake champagne and got ribbons from those party cracker things all over. We also had silly string which got all over us. It was so much fun.

Thanksgiving

Oh my god I am so glad it's Thanksgiving Break. I can't believe we have t take current events notes the whole time. Thanksgiving Dinner is so boring at my house. There are only about seven people including me, my brother, my mom, my dad and three grandparents. For some reason, our cousins absolutely refuse to do holidays with the rest of the family, but two of my grandparents will be stopping by their house anyway, so we don't even get them for the whole time. I wonder if the will bring their two dogs, Emma and Trevor. Trevor is a Doberman, and we don't know what Emma is but she's also really big. They make such a disturbance when they come to my house but at least they don't scare my dog Abbey. She is much smaller than they are. I really don't have plans for this break, mostly I will just relax and play with my dog or do things with my friends. Oh, and I am also staying at my grandparent's for the next few days so my mom can clean for Thanksgiving. I never have understood why she thinks she needs to clean the whole house just for my grandparents. They don't clean when we are coming over. At least she isn't making my brother and me help, and I don't have to clean my room. You know what would be really cool? If we had off all the time between Thanksgiving and New Years. At least as long as we didn't have to have a shorter summer for it. Summer is about the right length right now. I wish we would get some snow. Some people hate snow, but I figure, if it has to be cold anyway, it might as well snow and not be all gray and brown and dead outside.

I still have no idea how to post a picture, even though someone tried to show me. So I need a link, so I'm just putting this.

The school says it's not a good website for research but really it is.

If your bored this website is kind of interesting. It's about how you could have spent the money we're using for the Iraq war.

Snow Day? Not.

We absolutely should have had a snow day today. Well actually an ice day but that's not what you call it. I didn't ride the bus today and coming to school we were going like fifteen miles per hour on Six Mile. A car spun out in front of us and another almost hit it. Then I had to get out and walk because that was actually faster. I ran into my friend crossing the street and we almost slipped on the ice. The roads were so bad this morning that it was not safe at all. They should have closed school.

Last night I actually thought they were going to. My friend called me on the phone and told me to do all the stuff like wearing your pajamas inside out and taping a penny to the window to cause a snow day. My brother thought that we would have one too. I told him that there was no way that we would have enough snow, but he should hope that all of the slush on the street froze. I felt kind of bad hoping for this because it's kind of dangerous and there could be accidents, but of course that could happen anyway. My friend came over for a while, and when my brother and I walked her home we all got into a big snowball fight with her brother. We were running around the field at like ten o'clock at night when her parents came out on her porch and yelled at us. It was so much fun.

I was so tired this morning I didn't want to get up for anything. I just wanted to stay home and play with my dog Abbey in the snow, which she loves.

I am so tired I am about to fall asleep. I don't get it, I went to bed at ten and that's really early for me. I'm so glad that it's the weekend, but I have a lot to do. I've got something like four tests to make up Monday, a whole bunch of homework and I need to go shopping. I need a dress for a bar mitzvah that will be my cultural event. I don't even know the kid's name. I probably should find that out.
