hey

So basically I haven't posted since November. . . but I'm hoping that's gonna change!

christmas music

Yesterday during Drawing we put the Christmas music station on. Then a few of the girls in my class started talking about how much they LOVE Christmas and how happy Christmas music makes them. Turns out,  it makes everybody happy because soon everybody was singing along and dancing to "Jingle Bell Rock", "Frosty the Snowman" and lots of other songs. It was an awesome class.

"agressively amazing"

Today in my physical science class we were presenting our simple machines. There were dog food, fruit snack, and water dispensers, a banana guillotine, and the "box o' fun" (no, not of). Anyways, finally we got to the "almond launcher" which, as stated in the name, launched almonds. Except it didn't really work that great while the group of two girls were giving their presentation. And when it finally did start working, one of the guys in my class just happened to be standing in front of it and the teacher didn't see it. So then the class started to make fun of it. Somebody asked, "Why does it say 'Bear Paw' on it?" (it was made out of an old shoe box). One of the girls presenting replied, "Because it's so agressively amazing!". It made me laugh

milk dud instrumental

Last week before gym, one of my friends was eating her way through a box of milk duds. Then she put it up to her face and blew into it, making a sound like a kazoo. While she did that, she tapped on the side like a drum and did this weird squeaking thing she can do. It was super cool and at the end she tipped the last one into her mouth and did a mini bow. Made my day. =)

dead

  Today at school I watched a movie/informational video on the history of the Catholic Church in Minnesota. At the very beginning, the narrator guy was walking through a graveyard talking about the Church's founders. I don't think anybody was paying attention (it was a religious informational video) until the narrator said, "Well, we'd love to ask them (founders) about it, but the problem is, they're all dead!" after which nobody in the class could stop laughing.

grave

While I was researching my family history last week, I found out that my great great great grandpa literally dug his own grave. He worked as a gravedigger at the cemetery right before he died and well, . . . yeah. It made me laugh because usually that phrase is only used a metaphor. =)

self portrait

Today in Drawing I started my self portrait. . .  it's not going to well. Everyone's like, "Bandit that looks JUST like you! When in reality, the creepy eyes and pig nose I've drawn bear no resemblance to my face. At least the teacher hasn't told me mine looks scary yet. . .  (Yes, some people have actually gotten this comment from her). Not excited for Drawing tomorrow. . .

I'M weird?

So yesterday when I walked into class and there were not tables. Instead, the chairs were all lined up aroung the edge of the classroom to make a giant circle. So I said, "Wow, this is weird". Then my teacher shouts, "NO YOU'RE WEIRD!!!". Yeah my english teacher pretty much just insulted me. The two other teachers in the room were practically falling off of their chairs laughing at me, saying things like, "Oh that was totally uncalled for, hahahaha!!!" and "That's hilarious!!". All 3 of my teachers were laughing at me just because I made a comment on the classroom setup. Jerks.

bananas

According to one of my friends at school, bananas will become extinct in the next 10 years due to this mysterious tree disease in Asia. She even '' double checked it with her super-smart older brother and her cousin". She tells this to everybody, and also that they should treasure and /or save their bananas. She also says that she's going to start a banana stockpile. 

I told her that she's crazy because, even if, by some odd chance, bananas go extinct, scientists will create some banana hybrid or whatever. 

Nobody believes her. So far, I'm winning. =)

the lady in the lake

On the drive back from my cabin we passed the lady in the lake like we do every time. The lady in the lake is a mannequin who wears a bikini year-round while it sits in the middle of a pond off the side of the highway in a floating lawn chair. It looks like she's been struck by lightning- her messy white hair sticks out in every direction. She makes me laugh whenever we drive by. =)

sorry about your lunch

In Spanish one day, somebody from another class had left their lunch in the room. When the teacher walked in, she asked whose lunch it was. Since none of us knew, she asked who wanted his (or her's) brownie. She proceeded to give away the brownie, a nature valley bar, two ham and cheese sandwiches, and a bag of grapes to my classmates. Nobody complained about being hungry that class. Thank you, mystery person, for your lunch.

jeopardy!

Today during science my class played jeopardy in order to study for our test, the score was -50 to -30 to -90 (we were divided into 3 groups) . My group was wining because we almost never tried to answer any questions. The score in the end? 0 to 0 to 230. (The final jeopardy was a lifesaver.  Needless to say, I'm going to have to study more.

anti-jokes

Last week during spanish class, some guys were looking up anti-jokes on their ipads. Some of them were laughing so hard their faces turned pink and one girl actually fell off of her chair laughing. I don't really get them . . . but oh well, here some are.

shuffle

So today during school one of the teachers played the Party Rock Anthem music video on the projector screen. After a minute or so, the whole thing turned into an all-out dance party. Everybody was up and dancing, even the teachers. It was super funny because everybody, teachers included, was trying to shuffle, but only one guy could do it. Made my day. =)

Every day I'm shuffling.

snap.

I can't snap. And I'm pretty much the only person I know who can't. I try and try, but it never works. I ask my friends if they can show me how and they say "you just go like this! *snap*". But they never show me what ''this'' is. My five-year-old sister can snap, but I can't. It's really sad.
