Welcome to my blog! / Talking about school

Hello to all of my readers. Whether you are reading this far in the future or closer to the creation of my blog, I hope you enjoy my posts nonetheless! This obviously is my first post, and I want to welcome all of you. My friend Krystle convinced me to start a blog, and to talk about anything from school to Scoliosis, so here I am! :) The main points I will talk about is major events in my life, school, doctors appointments (when I have them), etc.

First off, there's school. First hour is Biology and we are working on a project about ecology. My group's project is about deforestation and habitat loss. One of the girls in my group, her name is Ellery, is going to put all of the text we type up on a poster. There is also a boy in our group but I sadly forgot his name. Usually I am in honors classes, but for some reason I was not put in the Honors Biology class. That's okay though because I heard that in Honors Biology, you dissect a pig, but in Biology you just dissect a rat. I would much rather dissect a rat than a pig (It's gross either way though).

My second hour is 20th Century American History, but I just call it History for short because it's easier. I have a student teacher in that class, and he is kind of awkward but he is a great teacher. We actually do work in that class unlike the teacher I had last trimester, who was not a very good teacher and never gave us essays. We are working on an essay right now and it's very easy. 'Should the United States have dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?' I am for it because it saved American and Japanese lives, it sped up the war and it served as a warning to the USSR. I would get a lot more in-depth about it but instead, I might post my essay here so you can read the whole thing. It's too long to explain here.

Third hour is Pre-Calculus or Pre-Calc for short. I understand it so far, even though we are only in chapter 1. I got an 86% on the test we took yesterday, which is good I think. I have an 84 in the class - I want to raise that though.

Fourth hour is German, I have a personal study during the German 1 class, so I get to hear all the beginners! It's so weird to think I was in that spot 1 year ago. I started taking a quiz today, it was my first one not being in a real class. So I'm kind of nervous because I'm used to being able to converse with my fellow students in order to be able to remember the words and grammar better. But oh well, I am doing well in that too. 

Fifth hour is choir. We have a concert coming up on the 16th, and it's our Christmas concert. I am excited because I really like all the songs we are doing: Do You Hear What I Hear, Night of Silence, I Saw 3 Ships, Jazz Gloria and The 12 Days Of Christmas. I think that's it. The 12 Days Of Christmas is my favorite because we have a lot of funny dance moves to go with it.

I really want to start vlogging but I want to wait until I get my iPod touch for Christmas. I'm getting the 5th generation, and I am really excited, because I have had my 3rd generation for 2 years this Christmas. I actually dropped the original one in the rain less than a year after I got it, but...Shhh. Apple gave me a brand new one though free of charge, even when we told them we dropped it in the rain and it had water damage. The wifi wouldn't work which sucks because that's pretty much the most important part! But they were super nice about it, and that's why I love them.

Thank you for reading! I really don't have anything else interesting to say. This one was kind of long, considering it's my first one. I think I will write at the least every Friday evening, maybe every weeknight to wrap up the day if I have the time. Sometimes I think I don't have enough time, but the truth is, I waste tons of time on the internet. If I cut that out (besides my journal, that doesn't really count), then I would have way more time.
I have to go right now because me and my family are watching A Christmas Story. Scott Farkus has always scared me.
