SPRING. BREAK.

Vergil and I decided that after we finished taking our Biology test today, we were officially on spring break. I don't really have anything else in school--in fact, I don't even think I should go tomorrow.

Also. OMG THE HUNGER GAMES IS PREMIERING IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS!!!!! 

But I'm not going until tomorrow because Fandangle told me there wasn't a midnight premiere (but also because my parents probably wouldn't have let me).

I've heard some good and bad reviews. For example: Jennifer Lawrence is a really good actress but at the same time, the movie doesn't really develop sub-characters as well. 

In the previews I've seen, I wasn't really all that pleased with costumes but it's whatever.

I might write a little somethingsomething after I see it.

Meanwhile, today was super hectic. I went from school straight to driving school where I took (and passed) my written driver's license test [now I just have to take (and pass) the in-car test at some point] and then went straight to clarinet lessons and then worked on NHD until now because DISTRICTS IS ON SATURDAY!!!!

Also, on Saturday, I'm going to Utah to go skiing and I haven't even packed yet.

Oi. So many things. It should be spring break right about.....NOW.

The end.

iz sleepin times soon

Okay, first of all. My favourite Girl Scout cookie everrr are the All Abouts (Thanks-A-Lot). Ohmygoshhhh. They're great. Fudge and shortbread cookie... yummmyyyy. (Sadly, they're retired now. *tear*) Also, they came in the best-looking box, the pink one :D


A'ight, hi. So, I'm back from my spring vacay. Get to sleep and do History homework this last weekend, yay...
Anyway, so here are the things I've been thinking about this week. Enjoy?


1. TSA Screening
By golly, that was fun. I got to go through the xray thingy. For an entire seven seconds, "CANCER RADIATION DEAD CANCER bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" was going through my head. I haven't really bothered starting legit soccer conditioning yet, so goodness knows my body isn't quite at its glorious peak of sculpted-ness. Whatev.
Totally worth it, though! I feel so much safer now. [lol.]

allllllllllll day...

2. A Rocket to the Moon
Idk if you listen to that band (I know Carrie and Virgil at least know kinda), but they have this album, right. It's called "On Your Side," and the album cover art looks like this:

they be needin' capitalisation helps

lulz I found an elephant in the picture:

*trumpeting noises*

Gosh, I do love having free time to indulge in such rewarding things ^.^


3. Applying Skillz to Real Life
In eighth grade, our Science teacher gave us this assignment on genetic diseases (since we were studying genetics and all). I kinda freaked out when he gave me mine because I couldn't figure out how to pronounce it for my life.* Acute cerebellar ataxia. And zomg guess what (Dr.) House's patient this week finally presented with? I feel so accomplished, actually using something I learned in school. {Though I guess it was only kind of in school, since the majority of the paper was researched on our own.}
Woohoo. Now maybe I'll like stumble into some way of using matrices in the grocery store. Or something.

oh, how they make me cry.

Anyways.
Time for me to go sleep or something. Probs sleep ^.^


With all due respect,
House.




*House can't spell or pronounce thingies. And by "thingies," I mean words and stuff.

Edit from Virgil:
this was the 300th post. woohoo!!!! :) 

:D

Hello there. How is your spring-break field-frolicking and baby-animal-hugging going? Fantasically, I hope.

The following is what the two pages representing this week in my planner look like: 

Monday-Wednesday

Thursday-Sunday

 (Looky there, you get to see what xiy's handwriting looks like. It's terrible, isn't it? Though House and Lynda each made their own contributions. And Virgil too, though that's a bit cut off.)


This has led me to conclude that planners are only good for doodling in. Writing assignments down in them is totally beside the point.

Anyway, I've spent my spring break so far mooching about at home. I have not traveled to any interesting places and I will not be doing so in the forseeable future, which is quite a pity. My parents have made me start reading these SAT test-taking strategy books, and it's nice to know that I've been getting all the grammar questions right without actually knowing why. Instinct is such a wonderful thing to have, isn't it? Though I really hate the SAT books because they explain questions in such a convoluted and broken way that it sounds like the wrong answer is the right answer when it really isn't, but they make it sound like it is and then my brain breaks and I'm all, "WHICH ONE IS THE RIGHT ANSWER GOSHDARNIT" and the book is all, "I WON'T TELL YOU SO THERE" and I'm all, "STOP MAKING ME FEEL INSECURE ABOUT MY ANSWERS" and the book is all, "HAHA NOOOOOOO NEVER" and then I quit reading entirely.


It's not very pleasant.


Also, we appear to have had over 11,000 pageviews. That's good, though I wonder how many of them are just a result of us not being logged in when viewing the blog.


And. . .uh. It's still really cold outside. Which isn't nice. But it's sunny, which is better. (And at least I'm not forced to run outside for gym class anymore. Spring break is such a wonderful time, isn't it?)

So I think that's it for today's post. Enjoy the rest of your March!

Well Wouldja Look at That! It's Monday!

Happy Spring Break, everybody!

I have had such a good break so far. On Friday, my family went to our lake house thingy and stayed until Sunday. 

When we returned, my sister began slowly cleaning her room. Let me tell you something about my sister's room: I haven't seen the floor in there for a very, VERY long time. It's very dusty and cluttered and all together, very messy.

Now, when you see such a mess every day, it's hard not to cringe and will yourself not to go in and blow everything up. I don't blame my sister--she's a very busy 17 year-old [zomg! I just realised how old she is...]

I, being the amazing sister that I am, offered to organise her book shelf. It was about 2 or 3 o'clock when I started. I pulled all the books off that were not hers, meant for children under the age of 12, and anything that she didn't particularly want anymore.

Of the six shelves full of books, only two of them were filled when I was done. 

When I was done with the shelf, my sister left to go to her friend's parents' wedding vow renewal. I figured that since I had done so much already, I might as well start organising other things.

Then I moved her chest of drawers to a different spot. Well, first, I had to dig a tunnel to make a path.

When I was done with that, I was on a role. I organised and moved and sorted through tons of stuff. When my sister returned home, there were three big piles on her floor: clothes, things she needed to go through herself, and trash.

It was, by then, about 5 o'clock. My sister and I went to town. Not only did we put stuff away, but we dusted, and swept, and wiped and everything. 

When we finally finished cleaning her desk off, it was about 9 o'clock. We were actually having fun! We read some of my sister's old diaries in which she apologised for the fact that she and I had eaten its pages when we were 5 and 3, respectively. 

I finished organizing my sister's desk and she finished putting all of her clothes away. 

Then we had an idea. We would move my sister's loft bed!

We started pushing and shoving until her bed was on the other side of the room.

At 10:30, all we had to do was fold the remainder of her clothes and dust some more. 

By 11 o'clock, we were finally done for the day. We called in our parents who, upon seeing the floor, nearly fainted (my cats were also curious as to where their massive bed of dirty clothes had gone). 

This morning, my dad and I woke up early (because we can't help but waking up before 8 am) and went to buy some new pants for me and some kitty litter for our cats.

We also got the car washed.

By 11 am, we finished running errands and woke my sister up to go to Target and get some boxes for her book shelf. We found all sorts of boxes and even a little chair that is also a storage unit. 

We headed off to lunch before installing all of the boxes in my sister's room.

I'm too lazy for a secret message today.

Now I'm typing this. :D

The end.

That was a very long post.

Happy Spring!!!

-MOMO

P.S. I made a Girl Scout cookie poll the other day because they are SO GOOD! Please choose 2 or 3 of your favorite cookies. :)

spring break!

Oh, how nice it is to be the Friday Curly Fry ^.^

Yay! The six of us are officially on spring break. Lynda's already out of town, enjoying our time off from school, of course. (Be prepared for a huge Europe post when she gets back.) Only two of my{/our} teachers are the type to give homework over this week of magic and butterflies.

'Cause like a third of the school was absent today, we didn't bother doing a whole lot. Our science teacher let us sit in on this fun with chemistry-type-thing show put on by the teachers for the juniors. One things they did was filling Balloons of Science with different gasses and then setting them on fire, and another was making little Soap and Methane Bubbles of Science. They let us hold those in our hands before igniting them ^.^ (Teehee, Momo is in my class, and she screamed pretty much every time something caught on fire, which was quite often. [yay lighting things on fire in pretty colors! {one if them was a pretty, Harry Potter-esque green and purple.}])

Also, Momo, xiy, and I tried our hand at writing a Latin Club-y fanfic in collaboration. It's currently posted in our Latin room and on Momo's blog. If you plan visiting either of those places, I suggest you check it out.

Anyway, we should go get back to frolicking in fields and hugging baby animals. {except not because it's still really annoyingly cold here.}

Or in my case, going back to my celebratory nap of success.
With all due respect,
House
