Slow News Week

I have a test or quiz in every class this week, except for Math. Today, I had my French test and began my Computers test. Tomorrow, I have a History test and I have to finish the second part of my Computers test, and then on Friday I have a Roots quiz in English and a Biology test. It's like all my teachers got together and aspired against me! Actually, I exaggerate. It's not that bad, but it would have been helpful if they were spread out a little bit more. Anyway, this Saturday is our State competition for Science Olympiad. I still haven't update our cheat sheets and there's only a few more days to work on them. I guess I'm one of those lazy moods and don't feel like doing anything, least of all something that isn't required. I'll get to them eventually, but not today. As I've said before, it's kind of been a slow news week, so to say. Until Saturday, that's pretty much all that's happening in my boring life.

Failure (GoogleDocs)!

Finally, the week is over. For some reason, I've been so tired ever since Spring Break. So, I'm writing this after a two hour nap. I haven't been posting anything for the two weeks, but nothing exciting has really happened. Well, there were a few things that happened. One of them is that, for English, we were supposed to make a GoogleDocs presentation on one of "great expectations" because that's the book we've been reading. It just so happened that Wednesday, the night before it was due, the server for the GoogleDocs presentation, and only the presentation, was down. After several frantic hours, it finally came back up, but still. Luckily, it was changed so that if you had it done on Thursday and presented it, you would get five extra credit points, which I did (of course- how could I pass up the extra credit!) What's even more is that my English teacher had said just that morning that we had to be prepared for anything, even if the server crashes- which happened to her once. You jinxed it, Mrs. C (just kidding...)! Anyway, other than that my life for the past few days have been pretty boring. Just the same old, same old.

Farewell, Spring Break

Today is a sad day; it's the last day of spring break. Now I actually have get to bed before midnight and get up waaaay before 10 AM. Not only that, but I actually have to do something, not just lounge around. I think I hear summer break calling my name (or at least the next weekend). On the bright side, the weather today was very nice; warm, sunny, everything I've been praying for the past week . Of course, the weather had to get nice once it's time to go back to school. That's just how things work, I guess. Slightly off topic, I saw 12 yellow cars, even one that looked like a Ferrari, though I can't be sure. For those scratching their heads in confusion, my aunt and uncle are counting yellow cars this year, like they did corvettes last year. Even though they left this morning, I figured I could still help them count. Anyway, I still have to wrap my mind around getting up at 5:45 AM tomorrow, for school starts once more. Yay.

Spring Break Fun!

So far, spring break has been fun. My aunt and uncle came up last Friday, arriving around 4 PM. My aunt didn't want to eat meat because it was Good Friday, so we kind of had a seafood extravaganza. We had it all, from salmon to crab cakes to shrimp. On Easter morning, my aunt, dad, and I went to church. There are two Catholic churches in town, and we went to the one I haven't been to. I guess we figured we couldn't show our faces at the other one, seeing as the last time we went has to be a few years ago. Except for some mumbling through a song and some off key notes, the mass wasn't that bad. In fact, we were told that we're winners and we don't want to go where the losers go, which has kind of become a running joke since then. Afterwards, my uncle picked us up and we went out and got donuts, which were delicious, and for dessert that night, we had this marzipan covered cake with raspberry filling (delicious as well). Since then, we've had just been hanging out and my dad and uncle have been doing various jobs around the house (putting in recess lighting, finishing up the work on the eves, etc.). I've also been working on my English project, which isn't that hard, just time consuming and of course, playing extreme dominoes (and I mean intense!). And that pretty much sums up my Spring Break as of today.

The Beginning of Spring Break

Happy April Fool's Day (or Poisson d'Avril in France)! I don't usually play any tricks on anyone, if I tried to they'd either figure it out beforehand or it wouldn't even work at all. Yesterday, in French class, we made our paper fish, which children in France sneakily put on people's back as a joke. My next hour's teacher is also one of the French teachers, so one of the people in my French class decided to try and put one of her fish on the teacher's back. She went up the teacher, started talking to her, and tapped the fish on her shoulder. She didn't even realize it was there for about ten minutes or so, until someone not in French asked her why she had a fish on her back, ruining the joke. But other than that, I probably won't be involved in any more pranks. Anyway, today's the first day of Spring Break; time to go somewhere warm and exotic and relax, right? No, we're just staying home. Luckily, it's supposed to be really nice weather and my aunt and uncle are coming up tomorrow, but still, it's not the same. Fortunately though, I only have homework in one class, Honors English (of course), so I do have free time to relax (if we're not going to some museum or something along those lines). Even with all these obstacles, I'm still excited about sleeping in for ten days!
