Happy Time

EVERYONE IS BLOGGING AGAIN AND CHRISTMAS IS COMING AND SO IS SNOW.

I'm happy, can't you tell? Now for some light humor. Craig Ferguson is hilarious.

Sex on Fire

What's up guys? I haven't heard much from any of you. Depressing, isn't it? How's high school goin for the rest of ya? I'm pretty happy with my year thus far. Thank goodness tomorrow is Rosh Hashana, I was dying for a day off. My uncle calls the holy day "Rusha Homa" with the ingenious explanation that followers rush home before sundown on this day. Funny, I know. I wonder what he calls Yom Kippur. I don't know where the heck it's coming from, but Math B this year seems so much easier than it was last year, I'm pulling hundreds left and right, and it's not only me. It's the entire class. It's all good, better that than the grades I was pulling last year in Math B. WELCOME TO MATH B. Mr. Mark began throwing rocks at my grades. Speaking of rocks, did any of you other people get Mr. Folino's hilarious explanation for how dodge ball came about? It's great.

(Folino) "The tradition all started back in ancient Greece. You see, they would punish the criminals by lining them up against a wall looking straight out at one man. This man would hurl rocks at their heads, heavy rocks, and they would die. However, it was one special day when one Greek decided to do something known as dodge." (Coach V) "Hey hey, wait a second here, it was NOT dodge, okay? It's called evasive maneuvers, right coach?" (Folino) "Yeah, that's what I meant to say, it was just evasive maneuvers, was all. Well, eventually all of the Greeks would do it, until they could no longer do away with the criminals. They were then either tied or drowned, but that's another story entirely."

I love how they completely evade calling the game Dodge Ball. No, it's Territory Ball, get it straight.

As for my other classes, I'm doing well in pretty much all of them. English 10H is an unbelievable amount of work. I know you HA kids have been doing essays, but try balancing this, all at once.

1. Beowulf movie, notetaking, essay writing, test eventually.
2. Beowulf BOOK, project, (for me, a newspaper article of no less than 2 typed pages in length, 2 columns) essay outline Wednesday, test Friday.
3. Individual reading book, certain amount to be completed nightly. Weekly quizzes. (Which are, by the way, essays.)
4. Other work (sometimes unnecessary grammar) in between with quizzes and other HW.

This isn't like one thing per night. It's all four, and it's left me with hours of homework, but I'm hopeful the deluge will end soon.

French is going well, and yes, I've realized Mr. Merritt is one arrogant ass. I like him though. Biting sarcasm and a way of mocking people that could leave some crying...but me personally, it doesn't offend me, I'm indifferent. I find it rather funny, though I do definitely see why it would upset most people. Me and about four others in my class are on his good side, and that's because, as he says, we speak French well. I'm dreading the day he decides to go militant style on us. 'Til then, we can only wait. More stories to come, enjoy the day off! Thanks for reading! 

Marc-Anthony

Song change probably coming soon. Any suggestions?

On a Binge

"Uh oh, there she goes again, Maria, Marc-Anthony, Jackie's binging."

That was the cry my uncle let out whenever my cousin went on one of her binges. She's unlike any other girl I've seen when it comes to cravings and binges...she literally can clear a kitchen in 2 hours. One day she was binging, we baked 2 sets of brownies, a chocolate cake, cran-orange bread, and corn muffins. Oh, and some dark chocolate chip cookies. That, among other things. The last day I was there, I saw her go through 2 tubs of ice cream, (she'd mix chocolate with raspberry, and I tried it, you need to try it) a bag of cinnamon sugar pita chips I bought her, and half a bag of popcorn. (She burned the other half beyond recognition.) How's life? Mine? Mine is...suprisingly good. Really good. For me, things just seem to be going right lately. I like my teachers, I'm not having too difficult of a time with the workload I have, and I like my friends, a lot. I do wish that I could see my other ones more, but I'll see them outside of school, I'm sure. Speaking of which, I've been meaning to drop Chiara a call, but time always escapes me! There are a couple new sophomores, have you noticed them? Rachel (from St. Steven's) and Taylor (Tyler?) from Massachusettes. 

OK gang, I'm off to help Meghan choose a myspace layout and look at some pictures. 

Chum borgen.

It Just Takes Some Time-

I'm ecstatic today. Yes, I have plenty to do in school, and an NHD scroll to write. Jess should bring the calligraphy today, so it's cool. Oh some loud bang outside, FUN! It's like 19 degrees and I rwally don't want to go out. Okay time to hit the bus BYE! =]

Twelve Days of Christmas: Day Eight

OBLADI, OBLADA, LIFE GOES ON BRAAAA, LALALALA LIFE GOES ON! Okay, still having a Beatles moment, Kerianne.. Yeah. So....yeah. Well anyway, I don't really want to blog, I just want to sing. Alright, well here you are.

On the eighth day of Christmas,

my true love sent to me

Eight maids a-milking,

Seven swans a-swimming,

Six geese a-laying,

Five golden rings,

Four calling birds,

Three French hens,

Two turtle doves,

And a partridge in a pear tree.

8 Maids A-milking refers to the eight beatitudes

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Twelve Days of Christmas: Day Six

Well, to start it off, I'm about to put a new song, probably the best and most meaningful Christmas song I've ever heard in my life. Well, in a great turn of events, my roller coaster is up, sky high, among the clouds. HAHAHA CHEEEEEZYYYY. Whatever, I'm happy, that's all that matters.Like those ornaments? Yeah, you bet you're jealous.Look at that. It's insanely perfect. I love it. It's my grandma's but mine as far as I'm concerned. Gifts line the tree's trunk, in all sorts of wrapping. Well, not yet. My grandma only wraps with one type of wrapping paper. I love Christmas. Tomorrow I'll post pics of her fireplace. It's amazing. I SMELL CHRISTMAS! On another note, that video is hilarious. It's a Garmin Christmas Ad. You'll be glad you watched it. Oh, look. I made the youtube thing green and red. SO CHRISTMASY.

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree.

6 Geese A-laying refers to the six days of creation MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Howdy there!

Hey, if you still read this blog you are amazing. I rarely ever post. I'm sorry. From here on out, I'm going to follow Willa's steps and be more active. I'm in my grandmother's house right now, listening to the guitar hero 3 soundtrack from my mom's laptop. Guess what. My grandma bought it for me for Christmas. She said it to my uncle before. ☺ PAINT IT BLACK!
