As part of the Total Language Plus program we used for Jane Eyre and are using for Pride and Prejudice as well I am writing a research paper. Bleh. The good news is I got to pick the topic! Now don't call me a science geek, they're more mystical than sciencey in my mind.. :p I chose the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis! Isn't that awesome!? I know, I know! You only wish you were that awesome! I'm not exactly sure how I'm not going to sound like a science geek yet... (as in tie in something personal, like an interest.) But I have a few ideas! (Thanks to my mum) Something about Greek mythology would be cool! Or tying in how important lighting is in painting is to the finished product (not that I'm particularly interested in painting but thats still an idea). Let's see... what else was there? Some sort of musical aspect would be awesome seeing as how that's my second favoritest thing ever! (After books that is.) But anyhow, this project should be cool!
Next week is capital day! We spend an entire day at the capital! (In case you hadn't realized that.) It should be fun! It was last year! Minus the pokey girl in my group. She was constantly poking me! Hard too! Okay random memory there. But yeah you tour the capital and talk to senator peoples and last year there was a mock debate about lowering the driving age that the students participated in. :) Gotta get up SUPER EARLY tho! Not looking forward to that! And I have to skip volleyball (if they have it, I need to check. The schedule just changed.) because it's on a Tuesday! Sadness!
We didn't get to go to league last Friday because of all the snow! And the snow was the cause again for canceling Tuesday's practice! *Starts hyperventilating* I needs my volleyball! *Sniff sniff* Oh well, I guess I'll make it to Friday... possibly that is..... I do still have choir tomorrow. So that's good. ;) Oh and there was no Band either last week! Very sad! At least that's on for this week. Band is going really well! The music isn't nearly as hard as it was four weeks ago when we first got it! hehe. Most of the songs are a lot of fun! We're playing one called the typewriter and it's uber fast and sounds like someone typing. It's fun!!! And we have another called "Yakety Sax' that has part of the circus theme in it. (The none Brittany Spears one that is). That songs fun! But my favorite is Second Suite in F! It's sooo much fun!! It's four movements. My favorite is the last one "Fantasia on the Dargason". Super fun! XD (Fun is just a good word to describe band music! :D)
Well that's really all that's new with me! There's been lots of school but it's rather repetitive so I don't wanna note too much of it here. lol If all my readers get fed up I'd just be talking too myself... uh-oh! :D TTFN
HA! You are saying 'mum' now! You're talking like me! aaah! Or is it just Doctor Who? But that also is from me. Lol and you aren't a geek hon, the Northern Lights are awesome! You should watch the movie Frequency, a big part of it is the Northern Lights and it's just an awesome movie anyways. Lol
