:)
You're right as usual, Mom. All I needed was a Pinterest search and now I'm bursting with ideas. Now tell me: root beer lip gloss, or chocolate mint?
:(
Not sure why, but I'm feeling very weird after asking my parents if I could go Christmas-gift-shopping for my friends. Almost like they're opposed to the idea. The parents, not the friends. What's up with that? Yes, two of the friends in question have already given me gifts, but I want to give them presents OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF MY HEART. No, I've only got three friends I'm shopping for--I'm not going to buy crazy-expensive gifts. Yes, there are some things that I can make, but I want to give more than a pair of homemade earrings.
So what the heck, parents. I'm not being unreasonable.

I had to delete the last post
My sister refuses to see the irony in her typo. So I took down the offensive post.
I'm sorry, Kathy. I thought it was funny.
No! I'm sorry!
Nice to see you guys, too, after a long taxing day of school
I'm sorry, Kathy. I thought it was funny.
No! I'm sorry!

Follow-up to the post from three days ago
I got an A-. 11/12. I hate these short quizzes.
Hey, I aced my history quiz. Or maybe it was a test. It had 25 questions; does the amount of questions make the test/quiz difference, or is it something else?

It's science
In science we're learning about the five levels of organization--the first level is an organism, like a zebra or a blackberry bush.
The next level is a population, which is like a zeal of zebras, or a cluster of blackberry bushes.
After that is a community--so the zebras, and a population of giraffes, maybe, or the blackberry bushes and a population of, say, raspberry bushes.
Then there's an ecosystem--the community plus the abiotic factors, like water and sunlight.
And all those ecosystems make up a biome.
You following me so far?
Well, I was thinking, maybe I can apply the organization levels to school.
So a student--just one student--is an organism. That's easy.
The student body is the population. Also easy.
The student population, along with the teacher population, is a community. So that's not too hard, either.
Now, the ecosystem. Okay, imagine each classroom, with its student population and teacher population (I know, only one teacher), is part of the ecosystem, and the abiotic factors are things like paper and pencils and desks and textbooks (completing the ecosystem).
And all those classroom-ecosystems make up a biome.
Haha...I am totally getting an A on Monday'stest quiz <--one of those.
