The last Week

Sorry I have not blogged in a while. It has been a busy week.
Friday- Today I just planned to relax the entire day, but then around three guess who picked me up? Chloe Powers. Ends up, for my birthday, they were going to take me to the Outer Banks! I was so excited. It was going to be so much fun! The car ride there was quick, probably because Chloe and I played the entire way. We were staying in this giant beach house with some friends (they were all here for the OBX marathon). It was so pretty! There was a elevator, but it was really creepy because the light did not work. We stayed up late, played with the IPad, got in the hot tub, and had a great time. It was around one when we finally got to sleep.
Saturday- We woke up early today to go to a big convention to get some stuff for the marathon. It was really interesting there. They were selling a lot of stuff. After the convention, we went to Moe's to eat. It was delicious! We also stopped by Kitty Hawks Kite, which is a REALLY cool store. Then we headed home and hung out until a very delicious dinner of pasta and a quick hot tub visit. We also went to Sweet Frog, which is amazing, and (in my opinion) quite cheap! We got to sleep early, because the marathon was tomorrow morning.
Well, I have to get to bed, so I will continue this post tomorrow!

Last Few Days

Sorry I have not blogged in a while. Here is an update:
Monday- Monday was not as good as I imagined. A bunch of things throughout the school day went wrong, like me almost missing the bus, forgetting my book at home, and learning I had 2 whole assignments missing. After school was a bit better, because Austin was over, and I had tons of fun.
Tuesday- What a relief that there was no school! I was so tired, and it felt good to sleep in. Plus, it gave me time to finish my Son of Neptune book, which I did. It was also Mark's Birthday, so we got to do fun things like have an Ice Cream Cake. There was some cleaning involved, but it was quick. I did a lot of studying for my DBA, and fell asleep with my study stuff all over my bed.
Wednesday- Today was long. I had the DBA first thing in the morning in History. It was kinda hard, but not too bad. I think I got a decent score. In P.E, we had our second quarter Pacer. I did worse than I did last time, because, well, I didn't pace myself. In Adv. English, we did some practice on "Show, not Tell", a type of writing where you make the reader feel like they were there. I love this type of writing, and I am pretty good at it. In math, we did prep for the DBA tomorrow. I feel good about it, except for some subjects. Oh well. I WILL get a good grade. After school, I skyped Chloe. It was good to talk to her.
I will post a review on "The Son of Neptune" tomorrow.

Sunday

What a good Sunday.
When I woke up, it was too late to go to church, sadly. Hopefully I will be up at a good time to go next week. I spent most of the day reading my Son of Neptune book. It is so good. I will post a review when I am done with it. I also got all my homework done. I was supposed to do it yesterday, but I decided to give myself a break since it was my birthday. So I had to do it today. It wasn't too hard, just a paper and some copying questions. Now I am all ready for School.
Man, Daylight Savings is awesome. It feels like it is time to go to bed, but then I look at a clock and realize I still have an hour! Also, I get to technically sleep in in the Morning. The only way it will affect me badly is School, because it will feel like an hour longer. At least we have Tuesday off.
I hope tomorrow is good!

Life of a Smart 12 year old!

So, to celebrate my birthday, I decided to change my blog name to Life of a smart 12 Year Old, so that it would be proper! But I have to keep the URL the same, so if you are trying to get to the website, it is still 11, not 12.
It has been a great Birthday. I got a lot of sleep last night, which was a great blessing. In the morning, Mom and I decided to go to IHOP. It sure was good! After IHOP, we had to go to Walmart so that I can get a billboard for my Science Project. We also picked up more iron on stuff for my bag (rhinestone letters and Breast Cancer Awareness iron on) and a fuzzy pillow for me, something I really wanted. Then we went to Barnes & Nobles, where I got 2 amazing books, The Son Of Neptune and Book 2 of 39 Clues. We headed home after back, my bag filled with great books.
There was something like a Yard Sale over at Zion, so I went to check it out. They had this beautiful ornament for only one dollar. For my birthday, Tim got it for me. Now I can hang it on my small tree!
Later that night, we went out and got McDonalds and a Pull Apart Cake ( cupcakes connected by icing) with candles that turn the flame blue. We had a mini- celebration, and now we are watching X- Men First Class. So far it is a great movie.
In my opinion, I think being 12 is so much better than 11. Plus, I had an amazing birthday.

Tomorrow is the day!

I thought I would blog one last time as a 11 year old about my day. I mean, why not?
So today was pretty good. We had this big review thing for History (since we have our DBA Wednesday) and I did pretty good. I have a lot of studying to do over the weekend, though. We had this fitness relay in P.E, where you get in groups and see who can finish the selected fitness thing. Lots of people cheated. In Adv. English, I finally got my graphic organizer printed. My teacher absolutely LOVED it! I spent the rest of the block reading some magazines. In Math, we took a very important quiz, which I got a %100 on!!!!
The real fun happened after school, when we had our pre-birthday celebration. Mom gave me my presents, which included chew toys for my hamster and a really cool bag that you can iron on things. It is big enough to hold my books, and much easier than my backpack. I can iron on more stuff, and put buttons on it. It is so cute!!! Then, we ordered pizza and watched Cars 2. It was really funny. I enjoyed it. After the movie, I had to finish up my Science Fair Experiment, which was the egg in vinegar thing. I would upload pictures of how it turned out, but Blgger is being stupid. Let's just say that it was squishy and cool.
Well, tomorrow is the day I turn 12. I am so excited!!!!!

Thursday

What a great day!
So, it started out in Science, which we had a Metric System Test. It was really easy, and I hope I got a good grade on it. In Wheel, we got to do Advertisements. I did a energy drink, targeting teens. I thought it looked pretty good. I love Teen Living, and it is a shame that our last class is Monday. Then I have Keyboarding, I think. I lost my class sheet, so I have no clue. Yikes. In Advanced English we had to organize a paper's Main Idea and Details on Inspiration Software. The software is really cool and helpful. I enjoyed the assignment. I will be printing tomorrow. In Math, we did independent work, checking out quizzes. Guess what? Remember that quiz that every one bombed? I only missed one question! How great is that?
After school, I checked on my experiment, and got on the computer. Not much happened. I just Stumbled a lot.
Only 2 days until my birthday! I am so ready!!!

Wednesday

Today was pretty good.
The first class I had was History, which was fun. We got to watch Tuesday Newsday, a show from YMS that they air every Tuesday. They had to be a day late though, but it was fine. It was a short show today, though. Then we began on our project, where we have to make a poster trying to convinge people from England to go to our region. I WANTED the Southern Colonies, but instead I got the Mid- Atlantic. Admittedly, it is much easier to find good stuff about that region than about the Southern region. In P.E , we had to do this whole anti-bullying thing. It was pretty boring. We had to take a Quarterly test in Advanced English. It was real easy for me, and I was the first one to finish, with a 97% A! I think that is really good. In math we learned how to find the "value of X" when it is being multiplied. It was a short lesson, because we had to do a lot at the beginning of the day. Ends up we got bad grades on the quiz, so she had to reteach us addidion and subtraction. I was glad when the day was done, I was tired.
After school, I started my Science Fair project. It will be fully completed in about two days. We also gave Biscuit a long needed bath, and she is now doing her post-bath freakout. It sure is funny!

Only 4 more days untill my birthday!

Happy November!

So it is finally November, the greatest month of the year! The time where there is the crispness of Fall with barely any hot days. Plus, it holds my birthday, which is right around the corner! I want to get the most blog views in November. To do that, I need around 70 views. As long as I blog every day and at least 2 people look every day, I will make it. Anyways, here is my Monday and Tuesday:
Monday- Monday was a tiring day. I nearly fell asleep in two classes, a side effect of being sick. P.E wasn't bad, though, because it was Picture Day. So I got to sit on the bleachers and finish up assignments while hanging out with my 2nd Block Best Friend, Ruby. Math wasn't horrible either. We started Algebra, so she decided to make these cool stations for us so that we can practice "finding X". Nothing really happened at home, although Mom is still sick.
Tuesday- Tuesday was super fun. We learned about the Metric system for Volume, which totally beats the American system. In whell, we got to cook CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS! They were amazing. Plus, next Wheel class, we get to make advertisements! In Adv. English, we learned about Main Idea and Supportting Details in a paragraph. It wasn't the greatest lesson, but before it we got to discuss how the Earth's Population hit 7 billion! I find it absolutely amazing. In Math we had a quiz, which I am SURE I rocked. Hopefully, a %100 is in my future. At home, a package arrived from Tutu to me, with some awesome stuf: two very funny books and grade A drawing paper! I am so happy!
Only 5 more days untill my Birthday!
