My spring break is going to be a bit busier than I thought these first few days, but will soon quiet down. Tomorrow I board the track bus at 6:45 (that's AM folks) and will return about 2:15 with my cousin Drew in tow to spend a day or two with us. On Monday I may be headin' to Chicago to see my grandma, but by Tuesday, the boredom will probably ( Read more... )

Today was pretty cool in Geometry, I must admit. We had to hang our cross stitch work up in the gym for the Fine Arts Festival, and me and Ben did the buddy thing, and took a conviently long time hanging the things up (looking at everything there forever). Man, sometimes I forget how much fun it can be to act totally and completely insane with him ( Read more... )

Today, as you all UNDOUBTEDLY know, is Pi Day. It is Pi Day because it is March 14th (3/14= 3.14(1592654)), and in respect to Pi Day our geometry teacher... screws up a theorum for us to fix! Oh, and gave us oatmeal cream pie thingies, but that doesn't count. I sometimes wonder if that woman thinks any of what she tells us through in terms of math ( Read more... )

Today I got to aid in a rather large praire burning at the Unity East school. Mary Kay and John were the ones who got to use the drip torches, and my job was to stand alarmingly close to the (astoundingly enough) very hot flames and use a water back pack with a tube thingy to put out any flames breeching the fire break. It did feel a bit strange, ( Read more... )

The engineering open house was pretty neat today, but I was too late, and my father too mean, to catch up with Rachel, Lydia, and crew. Very interesting stuff there, and lots of flying shards of concrete, which would be a good name for a rock band. A quote ( Read more... )

I don't believe it. My math teacher either didn't teach us the material for our test tomorrow, or the answers she gave us were wrong, which she has done on more than one occasion. All I know is that I just got back from 2 hours of math and a consumer's ed final followed swiftly by a German chapter test, which won't be a problem, los geht's. Anyway ( Read more... )

Today was a bad day, in short, and I apologize for complaining to ya'll. For starters, I had a dentist appointment. Because of my still brace-swollen gums and tight teeth, the dentist resorted to a VERY sharp and alarmingly pointy-ended dental floss. She lacerated my gums on a few occasions (though she was very apologetic about it, and I assured ( Read more... )

Today is my mother's birthday, so we did tons of mother's birthday type activities, like ice skating (amazing how fun skating around little circles can be) and eating at the Philo Tavern, and having cake and ice cream. Also, since dad was home all day, me and him got to "bond" and "demonstrate our love for each other." Well, at least dad has a ( Read more... )

Firstly, I would like to say happy birthday to Devin! Happy birthday Devin! And now some quotes ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to Effingham and to grandma's and granpda's, for grandpa's 80th birthday. Now, when I say 80, many of you may think of a decrepid old man, incapable of thinking about anything more complex than the location of his bathroom. However, I am very proud of the fact that for my grandfather, the exact opposite is true. Grandpa joins in ( Read more... )
