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.

There Is No Going Back

I would say "there's no going back now" but the "now" was a long while ago. I am assuming you all know about my complete obsession with Japan. You know, the one where I love it and plan to live there? Yeah, that one. Well, now that you've been memory jogged (or informed) let us continue.

Yesterday for dinner I made rice omlettes and they were delicious! They are popular among children in Japan. Despite the fact that they are an omlette they are a dinner course and very, very filling. I had one and was full. I think Mom had 1/2 to 1 and was full. There are leftovers which I will eat today. If you want the recipe leave a comment, they're supper easy to make and they don't take too long, about 35 minutes. I cooked them by myself, Mom just supervised and told me how to dice a carrot, etc (the kitchen essentials). If you make them here's a tip, do all of the prep work first and then heat up your skillet because you don't have time after that.

359 To Go

For the first time in 2010 I accidentally wrote 2009 on a piece of paper at school. *shudder gasp* So, yeah. I seem to be getting less creative in these blog posts. This is bad because I know my Tante and Oma read these. (That's German, I can speak some more now.) I like my German class. I'm learning more and more.

I still want to learn Japanese. Writing and language and history and customs and laws and religion. I'm going to move there when I grow up. I'm going to be a teacher for DODDSE in Japan. I absolutely LOVE Japan. I'm only taking the German class for extra help for high school because in this school if you take a foreign language class they count as your credits for high school.

Anyway good-bye.
