No Volleyball! :(

Bonjour,

Today is a Friday! Normally, right at this moment (12:37) I'd be at volleyball! My favorite thing that happens all week long! :D But the team couldn't get our normal gym so they had to change gyms and only had a small amount of time to practice. So sadly only the advanced and intermediate teams are practicing which doesn't include me. I am a beginner. But oh well. I can play volleyball next week.

Today for school we did Current Events Friday! Last night I found an article about the William's sisters - you know the tennis champions - and marked the important parts. Then today we wrote a small oral report about it. Explaining that they didn't have a good routine or discipline skills (which surprised me! They've been in tennis since they were teenagers and are now in their late twenties. You would think they would have it down by now. But we're all human, I guess. And if your a William's sister who is reading this - keeping playing and don't think I'm insulting you.) Anywho, so the sister's worked with a coach and their father to set up a good practice routine and nutrition regimen and now after a bit of time to work with their new schedule they are back and better then ever! The 2 are the favorite to win an upcoming tennis competition! Great job, girls! :D

Also this year we are doing biology! At the moment we are studying the monarch butterfly or Mariposa Monarca(Spanish) or Monarque Papillon(French). For those of you out there who don't know what that means it means Monarch Butterfly. For this unit of biology we are going to plant a butterfly garden, raise a monarch butterfly and release it, and design a paper butterfly to send to Mexico (hence the Spanish) for the winter. Then in the spring time Mexican students will send me their butterfly or flies. It's quite a neat project, really and I'm enjoying it a lot! :D

To explain the French I used back there - I'm taking French this year and thought it'd be fun to have that translation too. French is going really well do you know what 'Ou est la banque?' means? Take a guess. What did you say? If you said 'Where is the bank?' then you guessed right! 'Ou est la banque?' (In case your wondering) Is pronounced oo ay lah bank. But you barley say the 'N' in bank. I've also learned 'Quand le train arrive-t-il?' (When does the train arrive?) and 'Combien est-ce?' (How much is it?). For more French ask! :) I'd be happy to post more because I LOVE IT!!! That's all for now, kids.

TTFN!
