Drama, and I dont just mean the class.

 So, remember that post about Science? And how my teacher was so~ nice? Yeah..er...I think she read it. :D HA! Ever since I have posted that she has been nice, but not as much as before! And she doesn't smile at me anymore, but she doesn't frown, either. Its weird, but I have a weird feeling somehow she read it. But another feeling she didn't,but I don't want to ask because if she says 'No.' Then what? She would probably look it up! :) Oh well.

 Drama is pretty good. Guess what? NO EXAM!! :D Yay! I have had ENOUGH of these crazy midterms, and nine-weeks tests! (A nine-weeks test is a test I take every nine weeks that shows teachers where I am. And yes, it does count.) Personally I think it wastes a bunch of paper. But some schools dont care, I guess. ( But you'd think with all the fundraising we do the school has SOME money!!) So about drama.. I mentioned my play with Kati, right? Right...? OK, so a quick sum-up.( Kati and I did a play about selling lemonade and we had to present it in front of our drama class for a grade. Of course, the teacher thought I read to fast so my grade got points taken off. UGG!) Well, Kati and I's play was half of our 9 weeks grade, the other half was a musical. The musical we are doing is SO WEIRD! She split us up, and gave us songs. I got put in a group with these people:

• Aaron (The talkative one.)
• Ansley (She seems nice.)
• Emily (She is a dancer and part of Madison's posy.)
• Bailey (She seems like a nice person, but after forgetting my name in homeroom, I doubt we will be friends.)
• Lordynn (She seems cool, and she is  nice.)
• Grace (I dont know her well, but she does seem friendly.)
• Julie (Madison's posy member. Tries to be the center-of-attention.)
• Jacob (Another class clown, but not as funny as Aaron.)
• Stephanie (She is one of my friends, SUPER nice and funny.)
• Elizabeth (Known her since 6'th grade, one of closest friends. Also known as Emi.)
• Sabrina (Cool, known her since 5'th grade, one of my only friends that year. I had 2.)
• Tori (Very out-going. I wish I could be like that. Very nice.)
• Kati (BEST friend. Known her since 6'th grade. Ups-and-downs. But mainly ups.)
• Morgan (She seems nice, but I dont know her well.)
• Byrce (He has a very hard time concentrating, and that gets on my nerves sometimes.)

So that is my musical group. Song were doing? Classified ;) Drama is fun, I just wish I was more like them all. Outgoing. Loud. Instead I am shy. Quiet. I wish I fit in, and I do! I just wish it was easier to be outgoing and loud.

 Careers is SO boring! We took our exam and I wonder why I was even put in that class. I know only a few people, but I wish I knew more.
 Science I have explained ;) But here is more. You see, this week we got a project to build a car. That works through a baloon. It is due Friday. Hmph. Our test is tomorrow, too. And guess what? I have homework!!!! D:
 Math is fun, but I need to finish my homework. URGGG.
 Language is....ridiclous. I dislike that class so much! I have a project due next week.
 GA Studies is not a fave, but not a hated one. My teacher is nice, but sometimes I wonder if I will catch on to the lesson. Oh yeah, and I have homework.
Fit club is fun! We run, but when your a lazy butt, it gets tire-ing. But I cant wait to do the Run for Jeremy and the North Face Challenge. !!!
So, one last thing...
 Who has seen Wicked? I am going this Saturday with the Drama group and dont really know what the Wizard of Oz is... (Aidan was to scared of the monkies to get through the whole movie.) So, I really dont know what to expect..

God Bless

Make A Wish...

September 25'th...

Papa, you are so kind. You love with all your heart, and never hold back. You were my Sponsor when I got Confirmed and I am glad you could share that moment with me. :) You are an inspiration and...Yes, you are hip! :D You are so COO and I love you so much! Happy birthday <3

Septhember 26'th...

Declan, as much as we fight sometimes, you are still cool. You like Legos... A lot.... And I envy the fact that you have a cat. I mean, you are so lucky!!! Anyway, your 9 now, and I apologize for the past few years not taking the time to know you more. People think since we're siblings that means we know everything about each other. I mean, look at us! As much as we dont really talk to each other, we still know each other. I love you. Happy birthday <3

Septemeber 27'th...

Uncle Tom, this past summer was SO. MUCH. FUN.!!! I cannot believe we went tubing, (down south tubing is down off of a boat!) it was a lot of fun. And, you SO did not like country. And that was one thing I was glad to leave behind going up north. I hadnt seen you in forever, and honestly didnt know what to expect. Aside from photos the last time I saw you was a few years ago! But I am glad I could come up to your place to hang out with you and play Black Ops! (Which was SO COOL!) Happy birthday <3

Guess who's birthday is next?

God Bless,

Aislinn <3

Action & Reaction...

Let me start by saying in science we are currently learing about the 3 Laws, and one of those laws is :

For every action, there is a reaction.

So, recently something happened in science that got me mad. Like, to the point of crying, mad. Let me share...

After the ITBS on Wednesday, (We had the ITBS every day this week,except Friday, but this happened on Wednesday) my science teacher gave us our tests back from last week (NO NOT THE ITBS it was a science test) she told us we lack in test taking skills and that we would go over the text for a better grade. We were on question 3 when Kim, this girl who sits next to me, was sword fighting with my pencil. Not the whole, shout and pew-pew thing the dudes in Star Wars do, but more like, boring-hitting-your-pencil, pencil fighting, and I was sitting there. By question 6 I wasnt sword fighting like her, but lightly hitting her pencil with mine. So basicly here we are quietly tapping pencils, and then she says,

'Hold on, class. You 2 girls, bring me your tests. You think your happy with the grade you got? Well I will put that one in the grade book, instead of this one.!'

So Kim, gets up and gives her test to the teacher and sits down. Then the teacher looks at ME and says,

'Im waiting for the next one.'

Well I was like, frozen in my seat, but I got up anyway.. So I got up, march on over and hand in my test. Then, with my head held high, I went back to my seat.

I was mad. Like my face got all hot and then I was so mad. Like, my face was hot for about 20 min. so I got out my agenda and was flipping thorugh the pages, like hard. Not a whoosh sound, more like a thud thud thud sound. So, the teacher goes back over the test and I decided while I can, to write down the answers in my now-abused agenda. Then, when she got to question 9 she says,

'Now for question 9, let me explain again, since we were rudely interupted before with sword fighting.'

The bell rang and as I got up I was so mad my eyes were watering, I was livid. I was walking to the door, when the teacher told me to stay after class. I walked to the back, where she was, and stood, facing the wall, looking up. I was so mad I didnt want to cry, but I could if I wanted to. Now, by the time class got out there was Me, Kim, and 3 other kids who had their tests taken away. Kim, of course, was lauging and talking to the others like they were best friends. One kid asked me if I was OK, I said 'yes'. And he said I wouldnt get in trouble. So my teacher closes the door and said, 

'I know this is review, but you still have to pay attention.Blah blah blah.You will get your test back tomorrow..' I know she said more, but my back was to her the whole time until she said we could leave.

Now, desperate to leave, I tried to walk out until she stopped me. Again.

'I know its hard with Kim there, since she always finds a way to talk to people, but I didnt mean to freak you out when I took up your paper.'

I still hard tears in my eyes, and I was desperatly trying to blink them away, when she said,

'Oh, no! I freaked you out didnt I? I didnt mean to, your an awesome student!'

I nodded. Then,

'Do you need me to move Kim?'

Now, I was so concentrated on finding a way to get the tears out I said,

'No, Kim is fine. You dont need to move her.'

She nodded and dismissed me.

* Note to parents: If your child tells you about school take their side. If your child has a problem at school with a teacher, DO NOT take their side. You will get your childs trust and willing-ness to talk to you more, if you take their side.

The next day I went to her in Homeroom and said,

'I thought about what you said and I think that you should move Kim.'

She said,

'I was planning on moving her, I dont know where, though. Wherever she sits she talks. This room doesnt seem big enough for her. But its big enough for you. ' She smiled.

I nodded, smiled and said thank you. Then I left.

Now here is the fishy part...

After that day she has been super nice to me, example:

1. Saying how I was 'too cute' yesterday for photos.

2. Smiling at me in class

3. And just in general being super-nice.

I will just go with the flow and be nice in return.

So, in scientific terms-

Action: Taking up my test and calling me up in front of the class

Reaction: Being super nice.

Enjoy school,

Aislinn

Happy 100'TH Blog Post!!!

I am so sorry for the delay on posts, school has been so long and everyday I get homework! Not to mention all the projects I get! (Can you believe it, projects? And it is only the 5'th week of school!)

Remember when I told you guys I had a 100'th blog post surprise? Well, Blogger got all moody on me and wouldn't let me post a video! :0 So, here I am typing. Will Blogger ever let me post a video? I hope.

Like said earlier, school is so~ long. Drama class is my favorite, and science is probably my least favorite. For just a quick over-view of my classes, let me tell you about them.

Homeroom: every week, my homeroom teacher has us write. (Like we don't do enough of that at school.) We are reading a book called Among the Hidden. I guess it is an 8'th grade level, but what level does that make me? Since I read this whole series in 5'th grade. Maybe Georgia is lacking in Reading skills...Probably....
Drama: Drama is my favorite class, and I am thankful God is allowing me to participate in something so...awesome! Last week we were prepping for our mid-term (which is not just in social studies this year, but in every class! :D!!! Not.) when my teacher thought of the perfect way for us to feel acting, to make it real. (We were learning about Stanislavsky's aka Stan the Broccoli who is a Russian actor in the 1700's) Now, here I am saying how awesome and fun this class is, not even realizing we had to write. (Again, with the writing!?!) We had to write a eulogy. For those of you that don't know what a eulogy is, it is something you say at someones funeral. So, I decided that the person I would write my eulogy on was my sister. The day before presenting, I realized in order to sell my performance, I must cry! So, I held my eye open for 30 seconds. The only thing this did was make me blink my eyes and refocus my contacts. The day of performance I was bawling! It was perfect, I have a cracked voice, allergies are acting up, and I was crying. Nice, right? So people get up and one by one a kid experiences torture. Until,
'Sara, your turn.' Teacher says. So Sara goes, and I am thinking, 'OK, OK anytime now and I will be picked. Just.Keep.Crying.' Until,
'Alright that's it for today, the rest of you go tomorrow.'
Oh my gosh you cannot believe how shocked I was. Here I am crying, and I need to go tomorrow!?!?!?!? So I got up and left, going to my next class.
The next day I presented with a shaky voice, thanks to my nerves, and as I was walking to my seat, sold my performance. I couldn't hold back, I cried. With all eyes on me (Yes, I was one of the first ones to go so all eyes were dry) I kept crying. I couldn't hold back. I know that my description of this makes me sound glad that I cried, but I honestly was sad. I am not happy I had to do something like this, but I honestly think I sold my performance. And guess what? After I sat down I was called up to the main lobby, because my Mom was there. She started to laugh at me because I was crying. (I forced myself to keep the tears flowing as I walked the school.) She told me it wasn't true, that it was just an assignment. So I go back to class and my teacher congratulated us on our speeches. Then gave us another homework piece.
Write another eulogy...
Careers: This class is definitely in the bottom categories because of many reasons. But lets skip the reasons, and get on with the class. Careers is a forever-looking-at-the-clock-to-see-when-I-leave class. It drags on..and on..and on.. Until the bell rings and I go to science.
Science: In 8'th grade, you learn all about Watts, Joules, Newtons, Matter, Mechanical Advantage, and a bunch of other terms you will never use in your life. All I have to say is, if you dont learn it quick, your gonna be awfully behind the rest of the year.
Math: This is probably my favorite class, because the teacher always tells us to 'Shut up and quick being so slow' It is hilarious. And, it is a review!!! I know all about exponents and probability!!! So, if you know about that stuff, your good!
Language Arts: So, this class is boring. The teacher talks so quietly and we, again, are reading books my siblings could read. In a day. And on top of reading books, she gives us piles of papers about the book (including chapters 5-10) when we aren't even done with chapter 5!!! Oh, and don't let me forget her stupid seating chart! Once again, I am in the back! Putting all the stupid, talkative kids up front. Just saying.
Georgia Studies: Most of you are familiar with Social studies, but since I live in GA, I guess the US finally decided I learn about the government, and the economy. Get this, my teacher said there is a good chance most of us will end up in the Georgia Congress House. And I think , 'Yeah, sure. Most of the kids at this school wont graduate high school. Much less get into the GA State House. Keep on dreaming'

So there ya have it! That is my usual day-to-day classes.
Happy Labor Day
Happy 100'TH Blog Post to my Blog!

One last thing, please go on to this website and read my post. If I win,I would be very thankful.




God bless,
