Last day of school!

Today was the last day of school! WOOT! Finally, no more school to make my brain hurt. XD. My teacher still made us do work though. Oh well. It's not like I said she was nice. I gave her chocolates anyways, just 'cause I always get presents for my teachers. I also got some chocolates for Grace, since she's so awesome. All the chocolates were from Purdy's. Purdy's chocolates are AMAZING. We got to try some in the store, the cute little hedgehog ones with the hazelnut filling.

We got to go outside for ten minutes today before the bell rang. We played manhunt, but we didn't get to finishing the game. For those of you that don't know, manhunt is like tag, but once your it, the person who got you is still it as well, and you keep going till everyone's it.

I took lots of pictures of everyone in my class today. Some of them actually turned out pretty well, for snapshots, that is.

I cut my tongue today on... a lollipop. Yes, a lollipop. Stupid as it sounds, it hurt TONS. It's not bleeding as much anymore though, so that's good.

Smoking Ants

I found a magnifying glass, so I tried burning some ants. If you think that it's cruel to burn living things alive (I do) don't worry, the ants were already dead. No torture involved. So anyways, I focused the light on the body, and it actually started smoking! No fire, of course, it wasn't hot enough for that (the temperature was 23 Celsius) but it was still really cool! I just burned a few leaves after that, nothing much.

Then I was looking at all the bees pollinating the flowers with the magnifying glass, and it was really cool! I could see all the little fuzzy hairs on their backs. They were mostly on the raspberry flowers. I think those must be there favorites.

Today was Bianca's (my best friend) last day of school. Tomorrow she and her family are driving all the way to North Carolina, then driving from there to Miami, and then taking a plan from Miami to Honduras, where she was born. She's really excited. She made a card for our bus driver, Grace, (who ROCKS!) and she really liked it. I'm really going to miss Bianca, but at least she'll be having fun.

My last day of school is on the 25th, so I still have a few days left. My brother's leaving tonight at six to go camping for the Air Cadets thing. I hope he has fun there. I have no idea what they do, all I know is that they have a comfort station there. That's all the flight leaders told them. He's coming back on Sunday, I think.

Got traded

I got traded to another soccer team. NO!! Oh well.... Nothing I can really do about it.

I got my jersey last night. It's red, again. The coach I have now always chooses red. So the shirt part's red, white, and black, the socks are red, and the shorts are black. Picture Day's on Saturday at 11:15, but we have to go early because the parking is always horrible. The only thing I don't like about picture day is having to tuck in my shirt. It's itchy.

We played against my old team last night... That was sort of hard for me. The score was 3 to 1, with my new team winning. I scored the winning goal. I suppose that should make me feel good, but it doesn't. Not really.

Soccer Tonight

So, I have my second soccer game tonight. We're playing on a different field than last time, but still in the same location. I saw a girl I haven't seen for two years today. Wow, she looks different. She's really tall, and has cool make up. I didn't really ever get to know her that well, but it's sorta nice to see her, even if all I did was walk past her. She lives just over a few streets from my house, but I hardly ever see her.

Fifth Place

I got fifth place in track and field today, running long jump, in the semi-finals. I just missed going to the city finals. To go to the city finals, you have to get fourth and above for my grade. Next year it changes to third and above. I did pretty well though, considering how tired I was. My best jump was 3 m and 6 cm. The person who got first place got 3 m 21 cm.

I met my best friend by my old school today, and it was really awkward. Neither of us really knew what to say. I hardly see her anymore. This is only the second time I've seen her since going to my new school last year.
