School Tomorrow Is Making Me Want to D: D: D: D: D:

WE HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW.
NOOOOOOGH. (*cue sobbing*)
This is very unsatisfying to me.
So unsatisfying, in fact, I cannot possibly focus on anything else besides how miserable I am about returning to the cruel cruel cruel world of annoying cliques, letter grades, evil teacher[s], and slang terms I still don't really understand that is high school.

After hearing me whine about my hatred for school and my blogger's block, a friend suggested I draw something for the blog.

... I did.

Actually, I drew it in the past ten minutes, and I'm only just getting to the word portion of this post now. But you wouldn't know that if I told you! Wow! Um, blogging magic!

Let me tell you a little bit about what I drawded.

This is a pig. Her name is Jessie The Pig. She has a kind heart and periwinkle eyes that sparkle. She lives with me. The sky is orange because it is very late at night (or veryyyy early in the morning I guess is more accurate), and the sky gets weirdly but prettily orange here at that time. She's smiling because she likes the orangey sky.

The funnest part of Jessie The Pig to draw was her tail. Her tail is curly.

While looking for the file of Jessie The Pig, I found this lovely image:

Whoaaa what in the gosh darned heck is that?

It's the Rosette Nebula! Look how pretty it is!

We had our first Science Olympiad invitational of the year yesterday, and one of the ~~*surprise events*~~ I received late Tuesday night (just part of the fun of being an alternate woohoo three four [SUPER SURPRISE EVENT] events in fourish days) was Astronomy. One of the things I was frantically searching while sobbing on Google was this sexilicious nebula. Cool, right. Right. Very cool. How cool? So cool. Yes.

Umm, yeah. That's about all I did this week.
Cry over school, draw stuff, and stare at pretty stars in the name of science.

Well, that just about wraps up this week's episode of

~ House's Exciting Life! ~

With all due respect,
House.

P.S. Happy Chinese New Year! Yay! Xin nian kuai le! 新年快乐！Woohoo, celebration!

CONVE--Wait...I take French!

My darlin' readers!

LATIN-CONVENTION-IS-TOMORROW!!!

As many of you may know, Latin convention is tomorrow, and the Latin Curly Fries are going mentally insane... For example, my conversation with Momo today:

Lynda: Whatcha doin'? *huffs and puffs her way through 5 laps for crew*

Momo: Washing paintbrushes because o-mi-gosh-spirit-for-Latin-cuz-CONVENTION-IS-TOMORROW!!! *squeals* (imagine a high-pitched, super fast, all in one breath reading of the words "CONVENTION-IS-TOMORROW!!!")

Lynda: Erm...ok, why're you running with me then?

Momo: I dunno....but z-o-m-g-CONVENTION-IS-TOMORROW!!!

Lynda: Ahhh....

Yup. And then she goes off to wash more brushes, because CONVENTION-IS-TOMORROW!!!

Anyways, I had something planned out for this post, but...whatevs. Special circumstances and all, y'know?

Today in Orchestra, we had a lovely field trip to a library so that we could see/hear/be awed by this Haitian hip-hop violinist. He was supremely cool. I liked it. Then at the end, our awesome director, Ms. D (who is AWESOME!) went up and played a duet with him. Well, not voluntarily, one of the students set her up. They played "Amazing Grace", and it was just so...pure. So heartfelt and beautiful and absolutely gorgeous, the notes rang and you could feel the music, not just hear it because it was just so glorious...I could just go on about it, but really, it was just...amazing. Have you ever heard something and it was like that? I hope you do one day, because it was unbelievable, and it made my day...that and missing science class!

Speaking of which, I saw our lovely science teacher after crew practice today, and she talked to me. It was kinda weird, talking to her outside of class...I dunno, but I think that she's quite a nice person. She's just lacking in the teaching part. Oh well. Her car isn't as cool as she makes it out to be. It's actually drab and ick. Just sayin'.

Anyways, I went to Chicago this past weekend to get a shenzhen visa to go to Europe (for our orchestra tour), and I observed many things. I shall share the important ones with you.

1. Car rides were made to lull you to sleep. I swear I got into the car, and three seconds later, I was out!

2. Hotels are fun to compare with each other. I know they all seem the same, but there are the differences, and they're extremely fun to find...like the little complimentary shampoo bottles!

3. Complimentary breakfast is awesome. We always get hotels that offer them. The quaint counter with all this free food...so awesome.

4. Asians are frickin' geniuses. I'm not even being biased about this. We were at the French Consulate General, and these two Asians were getting visas also. One of them gets up and starts speaking FLUENT FRENCH to the lady behind the glass, and then after about 10 minutes, he says something in ELOQUENT ENGLISH, and then he sits down and starts talking to the other dude in COGENT CHINESE!!!! The dude was TRI-LINGUAL!!! Like, fluent in 3 languages!!! Jeez...and to top it off, the other Asian dude was doing math, and the math was like rocket science. I'm not even kidding. There were all these squigglies, and lines, and tons of numbers, letters, greek letters, etc. I felt incredibly stupid.

5. Chinatown is yummy. We ate there. 老四川 was the name of the restaurant, and it was soooooooooo SPICY!!!!

6. If China's people were as slow as Chicago's Shedd Aquarium ticket people, then they would be perpetually late...by years. You'd think you'd be faster at taking money and giving people a ticket. The line was curved completely around the whole Aquarium (and it's not a small thing. It's HUGE), and we got there early-ish! It took my dad 4 hours to get just inside the building!

7. Leaving a hotel room makes you paranoid about forgetting things. I checked every nook and cranny about 10 times, but I was still worried I forgot something.

8. Service plazas in Indiana (or the one we went to) are DISGUSTING. The toilets were brown! BROWN!!! We thought it was messed up pee, but turns out that the water was brown. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! It stank so badly...

9. Groping is not meant for service plazas. If you still have so much sexual energy, and you feel the need to pinch and then smack the ass of your significant other in front of 2 toddlers and a teenager....please please please stay in bed. Do not grope each other outside of your house/car >.<

10. Home is where the heart is. Yup. I still like my own bed better, my own bathroom MUCH better, and in general, my home better.

So...I should probably get to work on that outline that's due tomorrow...hehehe.

But first, 3 questions for all of you. Please answer in the comments.

1. What's tommorrow?

2. The day after that?

3. And the day after that?

*plugs ears to prevent hearing loss from the screams of CONVENTION-IS-TOMORROW!!!*

G'night!

Lynda

P.S. We still have Greek tomorrow...*sigh*

P.P.S. omg...I forgot about Science Olympiad Regionals! They're on Saturday. We gonna diiiieeeeee....*shrugs* I don't care that much, as long as I win personal medals! :)

It's Saturday and si nihil aliud nisi de...

I've memorized the first five words of the Latin recitation for Convention. Yay!

I usually post earlier than this, but I kind of forgot that today was Saturday until I checked the blog and wondered why there wasn't a new post up yet. 

In other news, you should all know that Fuzzy (previously Poofy) posted on his blog for the first time in months, and you should all go read it. 

Hmm, what should I talk about today? While I think of something to write, I'll just play the theme song for ya'll.

La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! Virgil loves Convention and projects too! That's Virgil's worrrllldd!!!

[You can go ahead and skip the really long paragraph below, if you want. It's just me ranting.]

Si nihil aliud nisi de...

So, uh, I guess I'll talk about Latin Convention. But because I do that, I want to point out that House, Momo, Lynda, and xiy were all at a Science Olympiad competition today and they beasted. I was not there because I am a butt, and Carrie was not there because she's too cool for that sort of thing. To explain myself further - I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to do Science Olympiad this year because of the crazy logistics involved and the fact that I wouldn't be able to make it to half of the competitions, but then the thing that was supposed to be today got canceled and I thought about contacting Shcience Guy to say that yeah, I could do one of the competitions, but then I realized that all of the events that I was good in last year are either no longer existent or they've changed, so I would have to start from scratch for getting prepared which would just suck. Also, he's probably assigned my would-be events to other people because I originally thought I wouldn't be able to do it, so if I rejoined it would probably be an unwanted intrusion. But I'm still really sad about not going because Science Olympiad competitions were always really fun. :'(

ANYWAYS Latin Convention is in less than three weeks, which is really exciting. I've only done one project so far, but I want to do one or two more. I'm still trying to come up with ideas.

I'm sorry this post couldn't be more entertaining. I'm sorry that I didn't go to Science Olympiad. I am very sad right now. :(

Funny Video

Hello! I'm not going to have a long post. I've remembered a video that I once watched on Youtube...I decided to share with you (and save y'all from hearing me breakdown about Science Olympiad, and how the officials won't let us change the places, and how 3/5 of the Dream Team is dead(no, not b-ball. The Dream Team I'm talking about is so much cooler) that day, AKA, they have Latin thingy, and I'm panicking about how we'll even go to States with all the good people besides xiy and me, and, and ,and....*PANIC*)...Yeah...This is a much better option :)

The video is from Howcast...it's very funny...:D It should brighten your day a bit. Now, I have to go and panic more and try to write a SEARCH for my I-Search essay. Even though I supposedly already finished it...half of it...yeah...Enjoy!

Love, Lynda

Last Monday of School!!!

HUZZAH!!!! Today is the very, very, very, very last Monday before summer vacation! Do you know how exciting that is? Do you? Do you? The last week of school is a joke. We watch movies, [actually we take a final (but that is a joke too)] do cross word puzzles, sign billions of year books, play more Kemp's (<--sp?) than normal...and of course, go to the esteemed School Dance (yes, it must be capitalized...okay?). I personally do not participate in such childish things as school socials and dances. They are dumb. I went to one...and I wanted to cut myself (not really). People get so excited; they all do their hair, buy expensive dresses, and arrive in limos. And we're only talking Junior prom. *scoffs* Kids these days. Another tradition with our school is Whirly Ball* and Laser Tag day. Today, xiy, House, and I all went to play these games...It was a'ight. Laser tag is really fun and my shorts were glowing in the cool black lights**.  Then we returned to school and watched more movies.

I cannot wait for summer!! Aayaaauaaiaaeaaaoaah!

Also, today we had a super Science Olympiad partay at Virgil's house (ahaha, Virgil's House...get it?). Science Olympiad is the nerdiest sport ever. We compete in science events...and normally win. However, our state has, like, the three best teams in the country, which makes winning a tad bit harder. The party was fun though; we went swimming, (not in the moonlight) and ate "nomz", and jumped on the trampoline, and played capture the flag. That went swimmingly (punny) all in all. 

Latin picnic tomorrow! It will be fun. Pique nique!

Dude!!!! I am going to camp in exactly 2 weeks (WHAT? I'm leaving on a Monday...crap). I'll be gone for a month with no internet access except for 20 minutes at the half way point...or at least I think. Maybe I 'll be able to do a quick post then. Someone may fill in for me, and I may hand write posts and send them to someone to type, but that would require effort. I don't know what to do!!!! And Virgil's birthday is right after I leave and I'll have to miss it! :( *sigh*. I don't really have anything else to yammer about, so on to the questions.

1. Dormivistisne?

2. When was the last time you lost the game?

3. Oh, I'm sorry, did you not want to lose the game?

4. What is the game? (please explain this to our readers who do not know of it, I obviously know how to play it)

5. What is the color of your aura?

6. Are you my mother?

7. What are you doing this summer?

From your dearest Momo

* Whirly ball is a game in which 10 people (five people on each team) get in bumper cars and go "zoom, zoom". Each player is equipped with a mini lacrosse-stick-like object. A wiffle ball is used as the ball. One must chuck said ball at the board thing. Hitting the back board is two points, hitting the center is four. That's all.

**Why are black lights called black lights it they're purple? <--You are permitted to answer that if you so choose.
