Time to Get Out

Fighting with your parents are the worst, especially if each side believes he/she is right. This is the case with my mother and I all the time. However, this time it got too far and we ended up yelling things we shouldn't have said. She told me she hated me and how I act and I told her the same. She then yelled "If you're so tired of me, why don't you go out?" I replied by grabbing as much stuff as I could and walked out. I went over to Shirley's and stayed out late at nights. I had freedom and I loved it. Knowing that, my mother asked me to come home. Reluctant, I followed, knowing I would get in trouble if I didn't. In the end, our love for one another came through and we apologized sincerely for our actions.

Halloween is for Nerds

The week of Halloween, all my friends and I discussed what we were going to be, panicking over our costumes. I planned to be Cooking Mama from DS but I couldn't find an orange apron and a cooking hat so I dressed up as a nerd. The day of Halloween, I saw that many others had dressed up as nerds and we formed a nerd clan, ringing doorbells and trying to talk with our weirdest voices, spitting out random equations and answers. After trick or treating, we all went over to Karen's house and attempted at cooking. I ended up burning the dumplings and all our cookies came out soggy. Although we weren't successful with dinner, it turned out to be a treat.

Homecoming!

Oct 24. The day of homecoming was a hectic day indeed. I woke up at nine and got ready for work. It was tiresome and boring but I made it through and got out at three. Rushing home to get all my things, I packed everything into a duffle bag and headed for my friend's house. All the girls were running around trying to find a free outlet for their curlers or a mirror to apply makeup. Once the guys had arrived, the girls panicked even more and began running around waving hairspray and jackets around. Once things settled down, we took a group picture and drove to school. It was really hot and crowded on the dance floor but we had a good time. Someone had too much fun and dislocated her knee, making everyone evacuate. The after party was the best part. I ate so much food and laughed til I cried. A day well spent :)

Sam Park

Last Wednesday, Sam surprised me in class, showing up with two dozen roses. He tried to come in during class but Mrs. Conlin said we were in the middle of presentations. He then waited until after class, along with a crowd of people, giggling and smiling. He then came in and hugged me, asking me out. I had no idea what to say because it was so unexpected! However, I said yes and he makes me very happy :)

Egg-citing Wonders

In Ceramics, a girl brought in a half boiled egg. However, it was interesting how it hadn't rotted or molded after a week! She claimed she had sprayed it with a coat of a secret ingredient. This amazed me and made me wonder what could possibly stop the rotting of the egg. Passing it around, she explained that the egg was neither too soft nor too hard. We felt it ourselves in a plastic bag and she proved to be right. Unfortunately she refused to reveal her secret and left us curious. An egg-cellent class to end the day!

Visible Spectrum Lab

Doing this lab, I was able to see many different colors of light. With each element, the lights of the rainbow differed. Then Mr. Olsen gave us special glasses that allowed us to see the rainbow in any light. Going outside, our class was told not to directly look into the sun. I would have to say this is the second coolest lab we've ever done :)

It's a Hard Knock Life

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been updating my blogs as often but a lot has been going on. We have a ions, lights, and bond types chemistry test tomorrow. I haven't been able to study much because of my other tests, but I will definitely studay all night tonight if I have to. I hope I get a good grade because an A- would really help my GPA. I plan to study a lot of vocabulary and the packet Mr.Olsen has provided us. I have been stressing a lot, having tests everyday and my mother has been constantly nagging about her problems. I hope this week ends with a good note. Time to play some review games! Talk to you guys later :)
