So, I have a new DeviantArt post. It's been forever since I uploaded something, but I finally have. It's the first chapter of a story I'm writing. All of it will be posted on DeviantArt. I think it's good so far. It can probably be fixed many times over. I mean I wrote it so there's no way it's really good, but it's decent at least. The title is Nachtigall which is German for Nightingale. You can read it here if you want.
KTHXBAI

Maybe you need a special brand of wood glue for Calculus?
Okay, this is going to be a fun and serious post. First: THE FUN!
At school I am in Environmental Club. I think the name is pretty self explanatory. Today we went to go work with horses and . . . IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I loved it so much. We mucked out their stalls which was work, but fun work. You have to shovel out the dirty straw and poop, but leave the clean straw. Then we got to brush the horses! The hair gets all over you because they are shedding their winter coats right still. I just watched the cleaning of the hooves. I was to nervous to! Then we got to lead them to a field and watch them roll in the dirt! All that work down the drain . . . >.< (T.T)
It was fun to watch them. They ran and ate and we fed them apples! I kept dropping mine! There were chickens at the stables too. We tried to catch them, but failed. (T.T)
They are hard to catch! We hung out with the horses for a while. I thanked our teacher ecstatically for bringing us here. He said to thank his friend too (the one that owns the stables.) I turned and said, "Danke shÖn! Danke shÖn!" Which means "Thank you very much! Thank you very much!" It has been a great day!
Now this is the serious side.
Unless you've taken up residence in a place totally cut off from the world - you have heard about Japan. This situation is deadly serious. I would suggest looking it up on Yahoo! if you don't know how dire the situation is. Many people are very worried about Japan. With so many still missing and now the radiation from the power plants, it is absolutely horrible. I don't want to put anyone on the spot, but please don't ignore all this pain and suffering. It is now clear that they do need help.

The bacon will find you. It always does.
Just got back from walking Heidi. It is soooo nice out! The sun is shining, it's warm with the hint of a nice breeze every so often, children are laughing and - oh Heidi don't stop every five feet to sniff a new pile of dog poo!
Yes, as I was saying, really nice out. I actually wore my tennis shoes for the first time in 2011. I'm so happy! I so l♥ve my tennis shoes. My boots are great too, but you can't climb trees or run in them. Not easily, in any case. Heidi and I ran A LOT. We went to the tennis courts in the back corner of Askren and I threw sticks and she chased them and I chased her after she got them and she ran away with the stick in her mouth and spit trying to escape her mouth. (Heidi = Queen of Farts, Slobberland, and Belches.) I was so happy to run with her.
I don't usually like to talk about my fitness - it used to be a very short talk. Not anymore though. For several months now I have been getting on the Wii Fit Plus and exercising. I eat healthier and I have lost pounds. I'm also a better runner. I l♥ve that part. One of my friends is a great sprinter, but she is really bad at running for a long time. I am a horrible sprinter. I am just not fast. However, I think I've always had good stamina levels. Now that I can run longer I've challenged her to a race at the end of the school year and hopefully I will be faster then.
Well, there you have it. Don't care? Don't read it again.

Yes, yes. We all want our ears to be a magical source of money.
HI! I bet you all thought I was dead! No ... not really. That's just what we say on DeviantArt and YouTube when you haven't posted something in a really long time. Of course, the people who follow you there can't call your mom and ask about you.
I'm soooooooo . . . HAPPY! Summer is coming very soon. You know how I know? Because now when I wake up it is as light as it was when I left for school in the winter. Which is to say, pretty bright. The Sun has been exceptionally beautiful for the past few weeks. I see it when I walk to school and several times it has been low in the sky and a deep red. It so hard not too look at for a long time because it is so beautiful! Though now it is just rising bright, not red. It very EASY to not look at that!
My writing is going well. I thought I would upload some on my DA account, but I'm too nervous! My short stories are much better now. My writing is clearer and more descriptive without being overly lengthy, but it's still a little stiff. And I find it very difficult to think of a theme. I've decided to try and find a 100 Theme Challenge for writing and, if I find one, complete it. We'll see how that goes.
My German and Japanese is improving. I can't say much on this subject because no one who reads this would understand what I'm talking about, but I can at least say that I'm pretty proud of myself. I went into German as a school subject thinking of college credits, but I'm seriously considering continuing. Yes Mom, I really do like German now. Why do you think I try to speak it so much? XD
I hope you all are well!

I've Been Promoted . . .
. . . from water to ginger ale. Yes folks, I'm sick. Some of you may have heard about mom being ill the past few days, well, now it's moved on to me. I hope it doesn't stay too long and I don't think it will seeing as I got my flu shot. Anyway, illness consists of major headache that medicine only reduces and a general "poo" feeling. Though I am feeling better now after a nap and two cups of water and lunch.
Well, how has everyone been? It's been a long time since I've posted anything.
-Awkward silence in writing-
Well, I placed fourth in the Math Counts competition. There are either 28 or 32 people competing. It's four from all the Bavaria district schools so I'm not sure. We had our awards ceremony at school on Thursday. I received an award from two of my favorite classes for once. I was really happy! I had to memorize a lot of speeches but they were pretty easy. Except the foreign language speech.
This semester I have a class called Humanities. In a nut shell: it teaches you how to give good speeches. As if I couldn't do that already from the billion and one speeches I do for NJHS every year. Though it is really fun, right now we're practicing Dr. Seuss books to read them to the kindergartners. We also have to create a game. I made a board game that is kind of like Candyland only without the cards. My book is The Lorax. My favorite Dr. Seuss book! When I saw it I snatched it up and claimed it as mine immediately. Of course I looked at the other books after that but I wasn't going to choose anything besides The Lorax.

YES!
So, I have successfully completed my part of a huge project for U.S. History. I have two partners. Let's call them M and K. Now, M was perfect. He finished everything and I was fine with glueing down the pictures for him since his printer wasn't working properly for pictures. He got everything done like he was supposed to, just perfect! Now, K on the other hand. I have no idea if he's done everything. He was supposed to bring it over to my house and guess what. When I went to his house to see if it was done ... HE WASN'T HOME! Now, he's new so I'm guessing he does have a very good reason for not being home. He'd better anyway. We have M and K. I really hope K got his work done, or else I'm going to have to kill him! (Not literally, yeesh).

Now, last year (2010) I took the PSAT. The PSAT is the Practice SAT (I don't remember what SAT stands for). We got the results yesterday. Guess who is reading AND writing on a level higher than 11th graders. And who's the one who is higher than 10th graders for a math level.
That would be yours truly! Above is the short version, now those of you who have taken the PSAT or SAT lately (lately being from mom's SAT to now) will understand this:
Score on the 20-80 scale for reading: 66 - scored higher than 97% of sophomores.
Score on the 20-80 scale for math: 48 - scored higher than 63% of sophomores.
Score on the 20-80 scale for writing: 54 - scored higher than 88% of sophomores.
Yes I'm super proud of me. The test is for 10th graders, not 8th graders. And it was the same test that students all over America took. Mom was proud too. So proud, in fact, that the only word she could come up with was, "Damn."
I hope everyone has a good weekend. I get a 3 day weekend and am soooo looking forward to it.

P.s. Mom said the picture on my last post was "sick." Well, feast your eyes on this!

Wow, wow, wowwowwowwow!
It's raining outside. That's not very remarkable is it? Didn't think so. It's really icy outside too, especially the road, paired with the ice it's really dangerous. So, naturally we got a 2 hour delay for school. That might cancel the Spelling Bee, but I wasn't to worried. Lunch would be the same time so I could still make up my algebra test.
Then mom gets a call. She talks about 2 hour delays and ice. She looks at the Schweinfurt Facebook. She says she didn't notice that it had changed in the ten minutes between then and now. School's been cancelled. SUCKERS! I don't have to go to school today because of all the slick ice on the roads. and this is the school that hasn't cancelled school for a day for about 10 YEARS!! I was so happy I started dancing around the house!! I made Heidi dance with me. She didn't much care for it.
Well, have a good day!!
