The Update

Hey guys, here's my update...

Spanish is review, review, review.  Mrs. Garay has given us a 60-verbs quiz to wake up our brains, hehe.

Biology is running fairly smoothly.  The collecting, pressing, and mounting of flowers and tree leaves is lots of fun.  Looking through a microscope at tiny threads was not fun (mainly because they looked like black hairy snakes when magnified 100 times).

Geography and Geometry just started last week.  I'm taking them online with potter's school...one is at 8am on Thursday morning...and one is at 11:30am on Thursday morning...haha, I'm like completely brainwashed by lunchtime because I've been listening to non-visible teachers talk to me through speakers for 3 hours.

Rhetoric is very...dense.  Mrs. Hempel is giving us a ton of information for us to take in during the first couple weeks of class (not to mention we have to read some stuff each week out of a huge, black, textbook that says CLASSICAL RHETORIC FOR THE MODERN STUDENT on it in blue letters).  How frighteningly close to college level is that!!!  Mrs. Hempel is, however, a very good teacher, obviously because she has her master's degree in communication. lol

Violin Ensemble is going quite well.  My new full-size violin has a very nice tone.  I'm pretty content with this tiny portion of my schedule.

Kids N' Dogs club is just getting on board.  We had a meeting last night (I'm the secretary so I read the minutes despite my sore throat).  After the meeting we had snacks, yay, and played Do You Love Your Neighbor using those chairs that slide backwards ten feet whenever you sit down in them.  I have to say though that game is the best when played with a zillion 8th-graders (because then it gets really really awkward...and funny).  I can't wait for dog training to start up again :D

I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A CAR!!!!!  I just needed to say that :D

My First Love

     I LOVE JESUS CHRIST SOOOO MUCH AND I WANT TO PROCLAIM HIS NAME AND WHAT HE'S DONE FOR ME TO EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!

I ALSO LOVE THIS SONG :D

Verse 1

My first love is a blazing fire

I feel his powerful love in me

For He has kindled a flame of passion

And I will let it grow in me

And in the night I will sing your praise, my love

And in the morning I will seek your face, my love

Chorus

And like a child I will dance in your presence

Let the joy of heaven pour down on me

I still remember the first day I met you

And I don't ever want to lose that fire, my first love                                    

Verse 2

My first love is a rushing river

A waterfall that will never cease

And in the torrent of tears and laughter

I feel a healing power released

And I will draw from your well of life, my love

And in your Grace I'll be satisfied, my love

Verse 3

Restore the years of the church's slumber

Revive the fire that has grown dim

Renew the love of those first encounters

That we may become alive again

And we will rise like the dawn through the earth

Until the trumpet announces your return!!!

Crazy Wednesday

     I have now experienced the wednesday of the school year and it was like CRAZY FUN...and exhausting at the same time.

     Try getting up for Spanish at 8:30am...then sitting in study hall with nothing to do except listen to your i-pod...then having a lot of painful fun at dance class...then going home...then going to the church for violin ensemble...then going home again...then going back to the church because you left your tuner there...then going to Sarahann's house to pick up your Geometry book...then going to the grocery store and buying donuts...then going to buy McDonalds to eat a hamburger...and...then...finally...going ...home...once...again.

It was EPIC FUN...hehe :D  My mother is AMAZING

Happy Homework Everyone!

Meeting Mrs. Ellis

BUM...BUM...BUMMMMM
     The school year has officially begun and it starts with...biology...with Mrs. Ellis...at 8 o'clock am.  Haha.  I was soooo tired when my dad woke me up at 6:30 this morning.  I was so tired I wasn't even fully conscious until 7:15 am.  Biology with Mrs. Ellis (who I have actually never seen before) was pretty awesome and I was sad that it only lasted an hour-and-a-half.  We talked about...THE RULES OF CLASS...and...WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DON'T TURN IN YOUR TESTS ON TIME...and other stuff.  We also ventured outside to collect botany specimens and returned inside to identify them.  Just by the way Mrs. Ellis runs her class, I can tell why she's my brother's favorite teacher (and he doesn't have many).  I just LOVE biology hehe.

Homicidal Maniacs and Bananas

Hello again!
    Yesterday at 11:30 pm I watched Monty Python's Defense Against Fresh Fruit with my brother.  Now..."IF YOU ARE EVER ATTACKED...BY A HOMICIDAL MANIAC CARRYING...A BANANA...HERE IS WHAT YOU MUST DO!!!  FIRST...YOU MUST REMOVE THE BANANA FROM HIM...THUS DISARMING HIM!!!  THEN YOU MUST...EAT THE BANANA!!!  THUS RENDERING HIM...HELPLESS!!!  I was laughing my head off...it was soooo funny :D

First Post!!!

Hey Everybody,
 I'm so excited that I have my own blog now! What do you guys think? I just want to start off by saying that God is AMAZING and he has, in his grace, brought me back to him through the Worthy10 Youth Retreat. I can tell that the Holy Spirit is working in me to conform me to the image of Jesus Christ. It was the evening after I had gotten home from the Worthy10 Youth Retreat.  I was preparing to go to dog training...and I couldn't find Sandy's dog blanket! I suddenly thought I should pray and ask the Holy Spirit where the dog blanket was.  So I did and then felt that I should go look in the laundry room.  I immediately found it buried under a pile of dirty clothes.  Now I'm a stubborn rebel, a sinner not worthy of God's grace, a dust speck compared to Him and yet...God put his Holy Spirit in me to find something as insignificant as a dog blanket! That right there...deserves the title of EPIC WIN.
