*Sniff* I'm so proud!

There are SO many injuries this year in softball! Hmmmmmm..............let's make a list of who all are injured:

1. Silver

• Leilani: Knee
• Amanda: Ankle
• Katie: Ankle
• Madi: Ankle/Shin (temporary)
• Meghan: Hand (temp.)

2. Blue

• Kristen: N/A
• Carly: N/A
• Jordan: Foot
• Breanna: N/A

But since all the captains on the Silver team are injured, I'm the new captain!!! I get to help decide where to put people in the field, what we need to work on, what drills will help, and stuff. Coach L. has agreed with me on many points, including the one to put Hannah at first! She was happy about that.

I think I will make a good captain, although Shelby might disagree. ;-)tee hee

Yay!!!

Yay to the billionth power!

I am very proud to announce that today we got our 100 point math tests back! I got a 90%!!!! Only one girl in my class got a 100%; Sydney B. I totally bombed the last two questions, though.

But that's okaaaaaayyyy!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful wintry day!!!!!!!!! (For explanation, go to http://www.makingfiends.com/ episode 14)

Yipee! Hooray! Zipideedoodah!!!!

From Out of Town

I am doing this post from the hotel computer out of town! I am in the Tri-Cities for my cousin's Bar Mitzvah. The party isn't all that fun, because the guys are being stupid, talking about double-X whenever my girl cousins and I walk in (if you don't know what I'm talking about, think of Pop. adn Eco. last year in science) and not letting us play Guitar Hero. Then they're making fun of looking weird at my 7 year old cousin who has Asbergers. The actual ceremony was like 3 hours. So, out of hte 4 Bar/Bat Mitzvah's I've gone to, this is probably the least fun. It's been nice to see all my cousins, and the food is really good, but, you know. My Aunt Bobbi has an exchange student from Korea here with her, a kid named Jonathan. He seems nice. It's funny, there are probably more Catholic people here than Jewish people!

Well, that's it from here.

Reeeee-cola!

I don't like colds. I have never liked colds. They are terrible. I had one until about a day ago. Since cold season is just around the corner, I decided to suggest ways to get rid of them.

• Humidifier for when you are asleep
• Halls Defense Vitamin C Supplement Drops
• Ricola Vitamin C Supplement Drops and Cough Drops
• Drink lots of water
• Drink orange juice
• Tissues (LOTS)
• Good nights sleep
• Wash your hands a lot

Kind of random, but these are all very helpful! (For me, at least)

Gotta Step It Up!

Yesterday I went to see a volleyball game. The team that won the NCAA Championship in 2005 wasn't looking too good last night. They got swept. They could have won every one of the games, but they just couldn't hold on. Oh, well, I'll see them back in action on Sunday. Against a better team. Uh-oh......................

I wonder............

Hmmm...........I was watching the Vice Presidential Debate on Thursday, and I noticed something very strange. Sarah Palin said "nucular" instead of "nuclear" 4 times! Maybe more! I wonder if all Republicans have trouble with pronouncing that word. Or maybe she was just taught how to say "nuclear" by our dear friend George WB.

Word Problems Are Not My Thing

I don't know if anyone else finds this, but I do not like word problems in Math. If it's laid out for me "5x+(2x3)=-20", plain as day, then I'm fine. But if it's all confusing like "At Water Works Amusement Park, the daily profit from the concession stand depends on the number of park visitors. The equation p=2.50v-500 gives the estimated profit p in dollars........" ARGH!!! It's so confusing!! I hate them!!!

Tests Galore

Wow, we are having a lot of tests lately!! On Friday we had to take a Math test, today we had to take a Science test, and on the 9th we have to take this GINORMOUS 100 point unit test in Math that is going to be TERRIZBLE! We have to take little quizzes on "Ender's Game" in LA/SS every time we read a new chapter. Tests are not my thing. Unless they're open journal, my brain freezes and forgets most everything I've been taught. It's not fun.

Random Quiz. (I'm bored)

Which Greek God is your parent??
Just yesterday I got a book in Mr. G's library called "The Lightning Thief." It's about this boy named Percy who figures out he's the son of the Greek God Posiedon. Being a son or daughter of "The Big Three" (Zeus, Posiedon, Hades) is a REALLY big deal in the book, so I thought, I'm bored, so, what the heck.

2. Are you kidding me? Of course not!
3. Depends. What's in it for me?

MOSTLY 1'S= ZEUS

You love being in the air, flying, whatever, you just love to be above the ground. This is a sign that you are a son/daughter of the Lord of the Sky, Zeus.

MOSTLY 2'S= POSIEDON

You love swimming, being in the water, surfing, what have you. You love the water and everything in it. This is a sign that you are the son/daughter of the Lord of the Sea, Posiedon.

MOSTLY 3'S= HADES

You like the underground, and dark places. You tend to laugh at others' suffering. This is a sign that you are a son/daughter of the Lord of the Underworld, Hades.

Math Test Madness

Yesterday in 4th Period Math I got my math test back. Mrs. S told us that the class average was a 68%, so I was a little nervous. I got a B-. Not bed, when you consider that the class average was a D. My friend Morgan got .5 points less than me, but she got a grade lower than me. I could tell she was really ticked off. I think I had one of the best scores in the class. When you think about it, that's REALLY sad, that a B- was one of the best scores. I asked Taylor B. what score she got and she said "Really bad." and walked away. Mrs. S's 4th period isn't the sharpest, if you get my drift.
