Seeing as I Have Nothing Better to Do...

I love OGT week*. Did you know that? It's so nice. I can stay at home until (almost) noon and do nothing at all. It's lovely. This morning has been rather bland. I woke up, did some homework, went to Starbucks with my mommy, did more homework, and read.Now I'm on the computer and, seeing as I have nothing better to do, I am writing the second post of my promised "I will actually post" thing.

I almost forgot! Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! Woot!

Maybe I'll add onto this post when I get back from school. As of now, today has been completely uneventful...

*Sophomores have to take stupid standardized tests while the rest of us get to stay at home and do nothing. The bestest.

Quick Post

So today I don't really have anything to say so I'll just make something up....hmm.... I don't know what to write about. Well, today was Momo Monday on Six Little Curly Fries...that's good. I can't think of anything.
Have you ever heard of All Caps? It's a band. Yes, no...? Sigh. Okay, well they're good, I've had one of their songs stuck in my head for a while; Don't Unplug Me. It's about robot love. I like it. A lot.
Aren't these sentences so wonderful? My English teacher would be proud. Really. Just kidding. But seriously.
*Gasp*, you know what I realized today? J.K. Rowling's first two initials are JK. Like "just kidding". It's a message! She must be telling us that Harry Potter and the gang are fake! OMG! It's terrible news, and right after the anniversary of Voldie's death-day. Today is just miserable!

You know what else I discovered today? There are way too many blogs about people's pets. I love my two cats dearly, but really, I don't blog about them. There are especially a lot of blogs about cats. No offense to those people, but get a life! There was even one blog that I came across about a cat convention. They had frickin' hotel rooms for the cats. And everyone had a cat with them. Do you know how much litter that would be? And hair? And cats? A crazy cat ladies? And...moving on.

That's all I have to say today. Wait, no, never mind! Darn, I forgot. Oh right! I lied in the moon landing post. I do think people landed on the moon. I researched the Japanese pictures some more. There are in fact images of the landing sites from the Apollo missions where you can see the lunar modules. However, I still can't explain how the men survived the radiation. Okey dokey. That was exciting, was it not? Now go look at 6LCF. Now. Bye. Go away. Thanks. <3

Standardized Testing

Why, oh why must we be put through these treacherous, terrible, torturous tests? Going to public schools has a great downfall. Despite the cheap education and freedom that one gets at a public school, we must suffer through what has to be the most boring time of year. That's right, the time of year where we take standardized tests. This year, I was forced to take not one, not two, but three of these three hour long tests. Though they are extremely simple (this can sometimes contribute to the pain we students feel)they are simply too much boredom to bear. In a reading comprehension test(yes, reading comprehension of the very language we speak) some of this years' passages included off-gassing, the growing, harvesting, and use of cloves, and a girl telling of her school choir getting honorable mention at a singing competition. These painfully boring passages, paired with their poorly worded, yet simple questions can make for a terrible way to spend the day. But wait! That's not all, not only are there multiple choice questions to savor in, but short answer and extended response. These are the terribly pointless writing prompts with topics such as identifying a simile in the story and writing about it. Oh, the horrors of these tests. *(sarcastically)* I would just love to thank the government for giving me this opportunity to be tortured and abused for the good of discovering how well a teacher teaches. Thank you, really, I am just so happy that I get to take these each and every year! I am terribly sad that I no longer get to take them this year.
