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!
