One Eleven Yesterday and 112 Today!

I forgot to do this yesterday. Don't be hatin'.

Yesterday? Let's see... I wanted to die in math, socials was fine, biology was brilliant (we learned about more viruses) - she made us make models of viruses. Me, Matthew, and Karter took a T4 virus - it was hard. It's a plant virus, and it has these spindly little legs that latch onto a cell then pull it down so it can stick you, then inject it's own DNA in. So cool and nasty. My model sucked - the glue was too old and I creased one area wrong, so half of it didn't line up. I covered it in tape. It cooperated.
Film was as good as ever! We learned about Tim Burton's style of filming and some elements of his movies, then we started watching Edward Scissorhands. I love that movie so much.

Today socials was nice! I like socials. The teacher was telling people that she'd call home if they were doing bad, then she looked at me and said she could call my mum and just say, 'Meadow's awesome,' if I wanted her to. She's funny. In math I understood what we were doing - thank freaking goodness. In film we got about ten minutes before the end of Edward Scissorhands - doh! We're actually getting tested on how it shows Tim Burton's style, and the elements we noticed. It's so cool! A test on a film! Could it be better!? Tomorrow we'll finish it and probably take the actual test, then on Monday we're watching another Burton film. She won't tell us what it is yet, because we're all film nerds and she knows we'll all be happier with a surprise. As for me, I hope it's either Sleepy Hollow, Big Fish, or Ed Wood (because I hadn't heard of Ed Wood). In biology we started a project on viruses! She said that it was a partner project so we were supposed to take one computer per two people, but some people didn't get that. Anyway, Karter and I did, so we chose West Nile Virus. Matthew picked Influenza so he could learn what was happening inside of me and tell me about how I was dying. WNV. Crows are the most affected by it! Did you know in 1999, 90% of New York's crow population was wiped out? That's huge.

After school I went to the theatre because I'm the wireless mic kid. It's a HUGE job, but I think I can do it. I have to have an assistant because there's some shows / practices that I can't make, and it'll be good to have her anyway, because it could be a bit stressful trying to rip a guy's jacket off, feed a mic through his shirt, tape it to his face, get the jacket back on, and get him back on stage all at the same time, while doing three other guys as well. It'll be good that she's there.

One-Ten.

So sick - blaahh. Last night my dad brought the Buckleys into my room and it coated my throat in cold, and it was amazing. When I woke up this morning I wanted to die, momentarily.
We did an assignment in socials - no big problems there. We have a test on Friday. In math we kept on learning. I'm getting what we're doing, so that's good. In film yesterday we watched the projects, then today we watched one that we hadn't seen yesterday. After that, we edited our films according to the feedback that we got. I like ours. In biology we learned about viruses and had a test. I have a cold though, so it was gross AND cool to read about what was happening inside of me.

I actually love having tests. They're fun. They're like quizzes, or paperwork!

Day One-Oh-Nine!

Spring break's over, and I have a cold. I feel like yuck! School was school. I had a super tasty sandwich for lunch. It didn't even get soggy.. somehow. Yea, I know. Pretty fantastic.

107 and 108!

I forgot to post yesterday, but that's because I was out of the swing of things. And I am fully prepared to be out of the swing of things for two weeks - Spring Break! Having no school for a while because of the strike was nice. Now... it's Spring Break. Sort of a silly place for a strike, but what are you gonna do? We watched a movie in biology today. It had Jude Law in it, and some guy I've never heard of but who was a good actor.
I got a for-real letter in the mail from a friend! That was nice. My tattoo is itchy, but it's looking a lot better! Today in socials we... let's see... we learned about the 1920s, and stuff that happened around then. In film we finished our 'ingredient' projects! I'm excited to see them when we get back from break (but not excited enough as to hope it comes quickly)! Did I mention that my tattoo was itchy?

Tattoo update!

106

Had a test in socials today! I think I did fine. During spare I went outside with some kids who were protesting with the walk out (because I was in spare, I figured there was nothing else to do). I got some honks, and then my hands got cold so I went back inside. We had a test in math today as well, and I know I did well in that. I was finished in about fifteen minutes. During lunch I wandered. Hmm... more editing in film, today. At one point we sort of ran out of stuff to edit, so Lee, Kyle and I started goofing around with Photobooth and Garageband. Lee was really getting into the spacey-piano music! So funny. In biology we watched another movie (because most of the student weren't there because of the walk out), and it was awesome! This one was about baboons. Very cool. When they started cutting open the reproductive bits of the male baboon, I looked beside me at Karter, and his mouth was hanging open and he looked disturbed. On my other side, Matthew had his hands on his cheeks, and looked disturbed as well - Megan (a friend visiting our class) and I thought it was interesting!

My Hunger Games books came in the mail today. That's a week early! Yay Indigio.ca.

Day One Hundred and Five

I went to Karter's after school today! His brother and his brother's friends have won a local film festival two years in a row! I was inspired. Mikayla came over to his house too, and we watched some Youtube, played some wii, ate some food... he even played me his American Idol recordings, so I got to see Deandre (WOOHOO).

School was good. Nobody touch my back today, so that's nice - it's getting itchy though. The teachers are all going on strike Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, which is annoying but ahh well. Tomorrow, too, apparently there's going to be a walk-out. I don't even know what that is, so I'm staying in class. I think it's when the students go out and protest with the teachers, but I'd say more than half of them aren't going to stay around, they're just going to leave. Besides... I want to learn about baboons.
