New Floor

Well, I havent blogged in a while. I just took my CAT's in school. I hope I did well. I think I did. I'm doing a huge report in school on Marfan's Syndrome. I an going to put it on here when I am donewith it. I may have the Syndrome, and I want to be A doctor, so I thought it would be a perfect topicI love that show, House, and I loved last week's episode. The only thing I don't like is the lack of morality. I mean, is all of the swearing and stuff really necessecary? We pulled the carpetout of our living room last saturday, because there is wood flooring underneath. When we got it up, we discovered that my grandma stained around an 8 by 10 area rug, to save money. It looks, well, interesting. At least it looks better than the green carpet we had. I gotta go, bye.

FRIDAY

It's finally Friday!!! I get to sleep in tomorrow!! I have three tests to study for this weekend. Biology, History, and Grammar. I am only worried about the Grammar one. I should do OK. THe weather is awsome these last couple days. It's like 75 degrees out. I hate the weather in like March and April, because it's always muddy and gross. I like it to either be snowing or warm out. I've been watching American Idol, and I wish they would get rid o that David Archuletta. He is so corny. I want Jason Castro or David Cook to win. I also thought it was cool that they finished "Idol gives Back" with Shout to the Lord!!! That's awsome!!!!

Books, Reports, Cats, and Squirrels

I Just finished reading "The Scarlet Letter" and I wrote a bookreport on it. That was such a good book, once you got past the old English. That really is a diferent language. I have to write a 10 page (10000 words) report yet this year. Last gear I did it on fetal development, and why fetuses are humans, even in the womb, and why that makes abortion wrong. I cant think of anything to do it on this year. It can be anything. If you have any ideas, go ahead and give them. I am doing this photography project for art, (it's the only way i'm gonna pass, because I can't draw my way out of a paper bag) and it's coming together well. I'm doing the landscape, and scenes from the ares I live in. I guess that's one advantage to living in the boondocks. The area is very photogenic. My cat caught this squirrel, and brought it in the house, but it wasn't DEAD. It started running all over, then my dad put a bucket over him, and pushed it to the door. When he took the bucket off the squirrel, it died of a heart attack, and the cat walked over to it, took it outside, and ate it. It was HILARIOUS!!!!

I'm Ba-aakk

I haven't blogged in a while. My computer broke for a while. I am so excited, I tested out of Geometry for next year! I guess if you are good at something you hate, you can get out of it. I take pre-calculus next year, then calculus. As much as I love school (no joke!) I am getting a little anxious for summer to come. My birthday is in two months! I can't wait. I always get excited. I went out to Erie on Saturday. It was the first time I have been out there without going to the doctor. When I was 12, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, that is where your spine is curvy. I had surgery to fix it last October. The doctors screwed two metal rods into my spine. Anyway, I have to get off here.

Easter

Well, Easter has came and gone. It came very early this year. The date Easter falls on is decided by the Hebrew calender, which is based on the stars. That is why it is different every year. I guess it won't be this early for another 220 years! Just a little senseless trivia for ya. WE have finally restored order to our house after having all of our relatives over, and there are a lot of them. My dad has TEN BROTHERS. Four of them came, plus their wives, kids, and my mom's family. WOW! It amazes me every day that Jesus would accept me even though I am a sinner. The bible says that God cannot allow sin in heaven, but Jesus DIED so I could be there. It just amazes me. I am eternally grateful.

Mr. Roger's Birthday and the first day of spring!

Today is Mr. Roger's birthday from that show "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." I used to love watching that. Everyone is supposed to wear their favorite sweater. I am wearing mine. It is also the first day of spring. Too bad it's snowing. Well, that's Potter County for ya!

Haircut

Wow! I got my hair cut yesterday, and it was down to the middle of my back, and now it dosen't even touch my shoulders,and it is realy curly (some days, that's a curse). It is really cute, but I think it will take some getting used to. Easter is almost here, and I am playing the piano at church, ond another girl and her mom are singing "Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted." The words are very touching. Maybe it will reach out to all of the visitors that come out on Sunday.

Leap Day

I notices something interesting today. We call leap year leap year, when you are actually adding a day, not leaping a day! Of course, why do you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway, or put a round pizza in a square box? The mysteries of the universe. HaHa. I am looking into something interesting. I want to sponsor a compassion child. It think it is a way I can do my little bit to change the world. It is only 32 dollars a month. It's kinda like that song, "March Out." Instead of crying about what's going on around me, I can do something. It's small, but something.

Ramblings

Youth Group got canceled agian yesterday. Now it's been 6 weeks since we had it. I wish pastor would have it more often. Oh well. I got a 90 on my algebra test today. Not an A, but, but OK for algebra. I got a 100 on my Spanish test though! Excelente! Spanish is a lot easier this year than last year. I think it just "clicked" or something. I'm still waiting for that in algebra. Good thing this is my last year of it. Next year I get to do Geometry. It's not that I don't do well, I just don't enjoy it. I guess you have to do not fun thing sometimes. It's inevitable. I have to help out with Sonbeams tonight. That is the kids group at church. There is these twin boys, and they are holy terrors. They have an endless supply of energy, and thrive on defiance. I'm gonna need a nap.

Looking UP

Things are starting to look up witht the college thing already. I got a thing in the mail for a place called Clearwater Christian College. It is accredited, and has a pre-med program. The thing is, is that it costs like, 3 times what PCC costs. God will work everyting out though. I just have to keep telling myself that. I wanted to go to a pre-med camp At PCC this summer. I think I will still go even though I probably won't go to that college. I will go for the experience. I just need to trust more. I woke up late this morning, so I didn't go on my morning run. It seems like when that happens, my whole day goes downhill, because I didn't get to clear my head. Oh well, I had better get to work. I still have to do my chores, and finish Algebra.

Monkey Wrench

I have a real dilemma on my hands. I really feel God leading me to go to Pensacola Christian College, but today, I learned that it is not accredited. They did say that over 72 med-schools accept thier credits. I really don't know what to do. This really throws a monkey wrench into everything. I guess God has a way of doing that when we get to confident. I guess I just need to pray about it. Maybe this is God's way of telling me I need to trust him more, and me less. I guess I need to remember that verse in Proverbs- "Lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths" I know I am only in tenth grade, but I guess I tend to worry about the future too much. I just need to take things Day by Day.

New Blog

Well, I got this new blog today. That's pretty cool, considering I have never had one before, but other than that, today was pretty uneventful. I stayed at my friend's house, but I didn't have much fun. She is pretty shallow, and picks on me for being a Christian. I wish she would see that there is more to life than Boys, Makeup, and worrying about her weight. I mean, I like to look good, and I try to eat right, but sometimes I worry about her. Sometimes, I wish I could skip this whole teenager thing, and everyone would just grow up. Hopefully college will be different. Everyone thinks homeschoolers avoid this highschool "Drama" thing, but that is not true. I just want to focus on school, and get into college, and become a doctor. Maybe this will help me vent at the end of the day.
