math tests, losing one's boots, and snow snow snow

Hello there; how's your Tuesday been so far? Pleasant, I hope. Mine's been okay, though this morning was soured by having to take an extremely hard math test, i.e., the AMC. This test is twenty-five questions long; the beginning is okay, but it gets progressively harder as one goes along. It's one of those tests in which you get some points for leaving an answer blank but you get nothing for answering incorrectly. So I didn't guess very much and left, like, half the answers blank. >.>

Yesterday, I left my snow boots in Chinese Club, so I trekked through the snow in sneakers this morning. It wasn't that bad, actually, since I mostly just walked along the road and the sidewalk near the school was salted (the sidewalk is now permanently stained blue; it's pretty disgusting to look at) and therefore easy to walk on. However, my feet were rather cold; fortunately, I managed to find said boots later in the day. 


. . .That wasn't really very interesting, was it? I just have a really boring life, I guess.


Anyway, yeah. It's snowed a lot recently where we 6LCF live; the piles of snow bordering the parking lot at school have grown to almost five feet tall, more or less. I do hope it doesn't all melt at once. Then everything would be soggy and unpleasant.


Yeah, I haven't much to say today. G'bye.

Oh hey, it's a snow day.

And I just made a rhyme. :D

Yes, we had a snow day. And for anyone who lives where we live, we all know how rare of an event that is to get.

Now my week's gonna be all thrown off. :/ Well, the rest of it anyway.

And today, I'm just gonna talk/rant/discuss a bunch of random stuff to fill the time that I should be typing a paper.

Ooops...

Hey! Let's start with that topic! Yay, school. So um, I think that teachers like torturing us. And subconsciously, they're giving *themselves* more work to do while giving *us* more work. I really don't understand why, but whatever, I wonder if they knew what they were getting themselves into "studying" to be a teacher. Haha, oxymoron/ irony right dere. I'm cool. Yeah, so currently I have to work on a giant English paper and a giant history report... wait for it... at the same time, at around the same pace. I actually think the English paper is going a bit of a more reasonable pace, but whatever. My history teacher is crazy, so it's a bit more understandable as to why she makes the due dates all 1 week apart from each other. Does that make sense? Okay. Moving on...

I have officially come to the conclusion that boys (with very few exceptions) go through their own version of PMS in the winter months. It's crazy and I don't understand it. In fact, I don't think that I will ever understand fully the analogy of guys. You know that they're simple minded, but they never seem to tell you what's on their mind and end up ignoring you for no reason... By the way, I apologize to any guys reading this. More than likely (and knowing *who* reads our blog) you are an exception. Probably. But the guys who I interact with on a regular basis, I think they guy-PMS. And it's...weird. uhh, what next?

On a brighter note, 6LCF has been up for *almost* a year! Well, in April (April or May?) it will have been a year. :3 Ain't that exciting?

Random question: Is it just me or is every baby picture you see of somebody you know adorable and you immediately start looking for the similarities of them between then and now?

Okay, bye.

DFTBA! ♥

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,

Carrie

IT'S ANOTHER SNOW DAY WOOT

It's so odd. Our school district has a reputation of never giving snow days, and then suddenly they drop two in a row on us. And right now, it's not even that bad out. It's cold, yeah, and still a bit windy, but nothing like yesterday. Not that I'm complaining, of course. ^.^

As you probably have realized by now, the Winter Special kind of failed yesterday. Everybody either couldn't or wouldn't leave the house, so we never ended up doing anything. (I was one of the 'couldn't' variety; I had to babysit my little sister while my mom was at work.) Our last chance for a Winter Special is going to be next Saturday; hopefully, we can all come?

So I've been watching the 1999 cartoon version of Journey to the West on YouTube recently (I've never seen all of the episodes before, so I'm working my way through them in chronological order; it's really fun), after not having seen them for a year and a half (the last time being at Science Olympiad, when Lynda kindly brought in a two-episode disc for us to see) and to honor such an event, I've made quite a few icons (screenshots=♥).
Here's a few I particularly enjoyed making:

haha, sorry about the language in this one? :P

Greek finals are tomorrow; we missed a review day yesterday. ARGH. I think I might truly die tomorrow morning. 


I don't really know what else to say. Um. Snow days are sort of boring, really, though it certainly beats weight training and physics.

A Note for the Curly Fries: Hey, guys, when are we going to start book club? Our book of choice was the D'Aulaires' one, wasn't it? Weren't we going to start after NaNo? Is book club another one of those ideas that'll never see the light? Enlighten me, please, as to our current situation.

This is Already Getting to be a Super Monday!

First of all, I would like to with Momo's Sister and Virgil's Sister a happy birthday!!!! [My sister said to add in Taylor Swift too]. Second, I would like to point out that this is the 205th post and nobody noticed the 200th post! :O That's okay. Third of all, and most importantest:  

WE HAVE A SNOW DAY TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEEEEE! 

Which means that the Winter Holiday Special is also probably on!! This is so exciting! I happened to have my video camera out when a snow day was announced. This my sister's and my reaction (you may want to turn the volume down a few notches):

I will update this post later with the Winter Holiday Special stuff later...Now it's off to scream some more!

UPDATE: The winter holiday has been canceled because people either A.) Have to babysit B.) Are prevented by parents or C.) They/their parents are wimps and afraid of the snow (jk). Not, but seriously, though. You people are really indecisive..

Love,

Momo

[Enter Title Here]

Hiya!

Well, today has been just wonderful. :D

^Yes, I'm being serious. No sarcasm there, folks!

What has made my day so wonderful, you ask? Well then, I must tell you... in song! Lawls. JK!

Anyway, yeah, story time!

It was a beautiful Wednesday morning. I woke up bright and happy at the loving hour of 6 AM and went to go take a shower... -Fast forward some time- In band, we actually got a chance to run down our hardest song and it actually sounded pretty legitimate. Which is good since our concert is on Monday. Yay. (Momo knows what I mean, she was there.)

During second period, which is German, I finally took my spoken exam and, what I believe, went incredibly well. Yay. While we were taking notes on Familie Vocabulary, I somehow ended up, quite literally, sharing a desk with one of my class buddies. How about we call him Kuddles*? Yes, I was sharing a desk with Kuddles and Herr didn't care. :) I mean, we were taking notes and all but it was just on the same desk and we were sitting in the same desk-chair combination thing that teachers refer to as our "learning positions". And Kuddles kept tickling me. I almost fell off the desk-chair combination that we were sharing.

Did that last part make you giggle/laugh? ;)

In global studies (Aka, third period) We had a sub, and Momo will also agree with me, which was quite nice as compared to our regular teacher. *Slight shiver* I mean, she's not HORRENDOUS. I just don't really favor her on a regular basis. Anyway, we actually got our assignment done and all was well. Yay.

Yes, I do realize that I'm running you through my day.

During fourth/fifth period, I had geometry. Nothing special, just geometry. Although, I got a C+ on my test... Oops. Okay, moving on...

Sixth/seventh period was science. The first half of class we just did our daily quiz and finished up our worksheet. The second half of class, our teacher had to leave and we watched a terrible video which luckily ended just as class did.

Eighth period was lunch. Noms. :) I had a very good lunch and received my [almost] daily piece of gum from the kid behind/next to me.

Ninth period was English. I think that all of the curly fries (except House) will agree with me that English was, in a way, rather enjoyable/entertaining. Tenth period was gym. Gym means volleyball. Actually, it wasn't all that bad today. Lynda, what did you think of it?

And of course, I had to walk home. In the snow. All, what seems to be now, at least 1 foot of it. Probably over 1 foot of snow within less than 24 hours. And I had to walk home in it. None of the sidewalks were shoveled. It was bad. In fact, there was so much snow that I was able to make a list, a *list*, describing how much snow there was. Yeah, not fun.

So how was your day?

DFTBA!♥

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,

Carrie

*Kuddles was my nickname for this kid back in, like, 8th grade? So, yeah. 

Woah, woah, woah. There was a theme week??? should I add the tags even though I didn't really... do a theme week post???  o.O
