Bummer!

Hey Everyone! Well today was supposed to be extremely fun but it is turning out to be not so fun. Yeah, so like I was supposed to go to Frightmares (at Lagoon). But I don't think the weather likes me very much because it started to rain and snow. Or more likely, my family planned this on the wrong day. Yeah, so instead of having a blast there, I get to have a blast here doing my homework, chores, and not going outside. But before you pity my miserable existence, know that I will, at the end of the day, be all done with these chores and able to do funner things such as watch Stargate (a TV show, possibly the best ever), maybe go outside, go to a friend's or build legos (I know what you're thinking... but I don't get HOW legos could be a "little kids" toy). Yeah, so I've been doing the Greek project for English class and I think I've changed what character I want to do about 777 times. I finally chose some Greek guy named Deucalion (I have no idea how to pronounce that) who was in a very familiar story about the flooding of the earth and him building an ark to escape death while all the wicked people of the earth drown. After I decided who to do, I had a whole big adventure in trying to figure out the textbook's definition of how to do the most evil thing in the English language, works cited pages. I finally figured it out by calling out to my mom that I needed help. So, all in all, my day has been a disappointing day(if thats even possible). So bye now, and keep yourselves optomistic.

Turtle

In trying to think of something to write about for my blog, I looked around for inspiration and saw my family's pet turtle. So, the turtle's name is Roxy. She is a girl. She eats worms, fruit, an occasional tomato, and we tried to feed her crickets once. She's twelve years old but we have only had her 7 years (this December). She is also the same age as my brother(and acts older)! As much as I like my pet, I would not recommend a turtle to anyone because they just sit in their cage thinkin' how we humans aren't worthy enough to see them move, eat, walk, etc. The reason we got a turtle instead of a dog, or a cat or any other type of animal is because some people in my family are allergic to them. My family is allergic to the hair of cats, dogs and other furry animals. My mom is also allergic to feathers, so birds are out of the question. Anyway, the pet that I really want to get would be a lizard or a snake. I would like a lizard or snake because they are cleaner to take out of their cage. They actually move enough to be interesting. The best thing about a turtle is that they are relatively easy to clean. All you have to do is take out the turtle, stick it in some water, change the paper and it's all clean. It's also the only time you can actually see the turtle move because it doesn't like the water(although because I am a nice, kind master it is not in the water very long). Yeah, so that's my turtle story.

Was that an insane week or WHAT!?!

Well, this week was...umm...definitely character building! With that EXPLORE test and all. It was also probably the most homeworked week of my school career. I had like 777 different assignments, 100 pages to read in like 7 hours, and about 77 different soccer events to attend. (I tend to exagerate a little bit.) As I'm sure you can tell, I've had a somewhat busy week. I've always admired those people who can actually budget their time well enough to have a week like mine and still have spare time. But, now it's the end of the week and things have started to settle down a little bit. I have even had time to look a tad closer at this blog page and discover its innermost secrets. Still, I'm not entirely done, I still have a few French papers due Monday (I have no idea why I'm still taking that class) and two science mini-projects to do.

I hate that ninth grade has so much homework! (ex. I spend more time doing my math homework than I spend in the class.) And if that wasn't enough, I have gotten sick with a ? virus that the doctors think might be mono-related, which has caused me to be extra, extra tired this week. But amidst all the bad, there is some good news. Everyone I have talked to has told me that 9th grade will settle down and I will actually get used to the homework and the extreme torture of science class.

My classes this year are somewhat amusing. I have manufacturing this year and it is a pretty awesome class. So far we have listened to rock music, thrown a boomerang, talked in class and had a couple of safety tests (w/out cheesy safety videos). My next class is "release time" which is actually a very fun class. My teacher, Brother John, is a very humorous individual. We learn about the scriptures and he makes it a lot of fun. And then, I have the class where like nobody does any work AT ALL in class-geography. There are more "naughty" kids in there than any other class I have. After geography, my classes start going downhill. I have to go to math, which isn't all that bad, but I didn't exaggerate when I said I had a lot of homework in there. Then I have lunch. I know a lot of kids who would die for first lunch, but I ain't one of 'em, I would rather eat later. Then I have French which, in my opinion, is a complete waste of my time. The only reason I take it is for a college application. I would much rather take Latin on BYU independent study if I had the time. By the way, BYU is the BEST college to go to! After French class, I have science, which is worse than the blackest pits of Tartarus(from Greek myth). Don't get me wrong, I love science as a subject, I just don't like how it's being taught. After science is English, which is a pretty relaxing end to the day. I have a few friends that I sit by in there and we laugh and joke around. By the time English gets over, I hang around for a minute or two so I can talk with friends before leaving. And so ends my day at school!

Now, if you read this opinionated report and you think to yourself, This guy is an optimist, then I don't know where you got that impression, but it is CORRECT! If, however you got the impression that I am a pessimist, then sorry, but please reread the blog and choose the correct answer!
