I just got back from the movie theater. I saw Knowing with Nicholas Cage. I thought it was pretty cool, and I ended up catching some of the biblical references (even though I'm not religious). However, the stalker-like guardian angels were kinda creepy and the alien-like transportation system was weird. But overall, I thought it was really good - I love codes and puzzles, so the [date, deaths, location] list concept blew me away and the solar flare disaster scenario was neat (albeit a little scary that it could happen).
And we got a really good deal because tickets were $16 total (for the four of us) and the concessions (sodas & popcorn) were only $8 because the Carmike near Bethabara has a stimulus Tuesday deal, where small drinks and small popcorns are only one dollar each. So, a good start to Spring Break!
Fyi - I have a new theme song - Math Suks by Jimmy Buffett (I absolutely hate math class right now; we're learning about radical expressions, which is a really difficult and stupid skill we will probably never use in our life.)
Oh, and I plan to post every day while I'm stuck at home this week...so check back soon!

Another Week Over
School:
Thanks goodness it's Friday! It's been such a long week - too many things to worry about... Projects, tests, essays, assemblies - I'm so glad it's over with! Except for the Modernism Poetry Analysis Essay and finishing my SS test, Monday and Tuesday will be pretty easy.
Books:
I've started reading The Death Collector by Justin Richards. I'm only on the fourth chapter, but so far two people have died (one of which who "came home for tea"), a museum has been broken into, books have been burned, and the curator has lost the last remaining piece of a scientist's diary (which is what the robbers tried to get rid of). It sounds like it's set in industrialist London, but I'm not 100% sure.
Music:
- So What by Pink
- Brother of the Mayor of Bridgewater by The World/Inferno Friendship Society (Okay, I know you've never heard of it, but I like it.)
Random:
I totally sounded like an idiot in math class today! I was reading our history of Neptune, but Robyn had written it (but wasn't at school today). So, I tried to read her report as best I could. I was talking about Neptune's moons and Robyn had listed them, but there were so many and lots of them were just combinations of letters and numbers. I tried to count them really fast as I was presenting, but after a long pause, just said that Neptune had "lots of moons." Everyone started laughing, including me, and I really hope that they just thought it was funny, not because I did something stupid. (I was actually laughing at myself as I typed this entry.)

Stressed Out
I'm so stressed right now, so I'm writing this entry to vent...
Here's a list of what is going on at school for me next week:
- NJHS Induction Ceremony
- EOQ's
- SS Unit Test
Here's my list of things to do just for school next week:
- Math Project
- Poetry Poster
- Cell Theory Essay
- Poetry Journal Entries
Here's what I've already finished:
- March Madness Reflections
- Math EOG Practice Booklet Pages
- Spices for Art Project
And here's the stuff I have to do when I get extra time:
- Work on dragster for PLTW
- Make wine glass tags for my aunt
Don't our teachers know that we actually have lives? They always schedule tons of projects, tests and assignments all due within the same week! I'm so sick of it!
