I Don't Know Why I Don't Have The Zeal To Blog Anymore. I Guess It's Just Because Nothing Interesting Happens Anymore. Here's The Latest News:
I Dissected A Frog Thursday. It Was Gross...

I Went To Hickory With My Mom Today...

Now, I Have A Video:

Simple Presentation To The Important

2010-03-24T16:27:00.000-07:00

At CECHS, We Do These Dumb Things Called "Student Led Conferences". It's Where You Sit Down With Your Parent And Reflect On What You're Doing In School. This One Girl at School Had Said That She Was Going To Do Hers With Some Teachers Instead Of Her Mom. I Wanted To Do That So I Asked My Focus Leader Person About And She Said Ok. Turns Out That The Principals From The 3 Other Learning Lab High Schools Plus The President Over The News Schools Project Were Coming Today. I Ended Up Presenting To Them. All Went Well. I Wasn't Nervous At All.
I Got My Report Cards And I Made All A's. No Shocker There....

Oh Yea, My Book Is Now Published. If You Would Like To Buy It, Here's The Link:

It Shall Be My Squishy...

2010-03-23T16:53:00.000-07:00

Today Was A Very Eventful Day At School. I Got Angry Then Better Then Worse Then Better Then Worse. It Was All Because Our Beloved Biology Teacher Was Asked To Move Her Test Date. I Really Don't Think That She Should've Moved It. I Just Wish Everyone Would Stop Whining.

After School, Dyson And I Went To The Pet Den In Hudson And Got Fish. I Got 21 Little Fish And An Algae Eater And A Frog And A Snail. Dyson Bought A Tattooed Fish, A Swordfish?, And 2 Dalmatian Fish. Here's What The Tattooed Fish Looked Like:

I Brought My Fish Tank To Grandma's Because I Needed Somewhere To Put It And To Keep The Amphibian, Mollusk, And Osteichthyes. (It Might Even Grow Some Chlorophyta.)

The Great Depression Or Jobless Talent Time

2010-03-20T20:38:00.000-07:00

At School We're Talking About The Great Depression In US History And We're Reading "The Great Gatsby" In English. It's So Funny Because I Already Know A Lot About This Stuff Because, While At Oak Hill, I Was In A Musical. It Was Called "On The Radio". It Went Through Songs From Different Decades. The First Decade We Covered Was The 20s. It Started Out Saying,"In 1929, The Stock Market Crashed And The World Fell Into A Deep Depression. To Cheer Themselves Up, People Huddled Around The Radio And Listened To Music. They Listened To Songs Like: Life is Just A Bowl Of Cherries, We're In The Money, And Brother, Can You Spare A Dime." Then, We Sang And Danced To The Song "Ain't We Got Fun". I Found This Video On YouTube Of A Player Piano Playing It.

BAD American

2010-03-18T17:22:00.000-07:00

***DISCLAIMER*** I DIDN'T WRITE THIS. I DON'T LIKE IT. I DON'T SUPPORT IT. I JUST FOUND IT. READ AND BE ANGRY LIKE I AM!!!
This is Racist And Mean And Should Not Be Accepted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YES, I'M A BAD AMERICAN

I Am the Liberal-Progressives Worst Nightmare. I am an American.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!
I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry Springer.

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.

I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA.

If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.

I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution.
Can I get an AMEN on that one?
I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you're running from them..
I also think they have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.

And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license. I think it's good..... And I'm proud that "God" is written on my money.

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making "donations" to their cause.

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents, one of each sex.

I believe "illegal" is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA!
If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American

Green....Green

2010-03-17T17:54:00.000-07:00

Saint Patty's Day. It's Kindof A Weird Holiday. It Doesn't Have A Direct Meaning To Us Other Than "Wear Green Or Be Pinched". I Was Shocked At How Many People Didn't Have On Green Today.

After School, I Went To Wal-Mart To Get Some Meds. While In Like At The Rx, Their Were 3 Black Ladies Behind Me. One Started Quoting Bon Qui Qui. I Joined In. "Sir, Don't Be Rude! Security...Security!!" It Was Fun Because After I Got My Xyzal And My Sub, I Saw Them At The Check-Out And Yelled "Security!" Once More.

I've Reached 310 Friends On Facebook. I Thinks That's Amazing Just To Think I Actually Know All These People.

I've Started Gathering Specimens For My Lab Final. I Now Have Real Penicillium And Lactobacillus acidophilus. I Might Even Have To But An Anemone! How Cool It That?!!!

Tomorrow In Lab, I'll Get To Dissect An Echinoderm (Starfish). Then, Were Going To The Creek To Practice Finding Things Under The Microscope For Lab Final.

Vacay From Blog

2010-03-11T19:31:00.000-08:00

Haha...I Really Have Kinda Forgot About Blogging. I'm so Busy With School Right Now That I Have No Time To Tell Everyone About It.

I Had A Rough Day At School Today. I Had A Test That Was Way Too Hard. Then, I Got Assigned Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle. It's So Confusing. Then, I Went To English And Got Assigned Another Book, "The Great Gatsby". I'm So Overwhelmed Because I Have Graduation Project Plus A Biology Project Plus These Two Books Now.

This Morning I Woke Up Not Feeling Well At All. I Can't Really Explain It. I Just Felt Like Amish Car Exhaust. I Felt Really "On-Edge" Today. The Simple Sound Of Someone's Breath Made Me Want To Punch Them.

Then, I Came Home And Took A 2-Hour Long Nap. Now I Feel Ok And My Emotions Are Back In Order...Well Kinda...

A New Tune...Eek...

2010-03-07T18:24:00.000-08:00

Today I Went To Church... Then Grandma's... Then Choir Practice... Then Back To Church.
We Played Risk (The Board Game) At Grandma's. I Love That Game Now. If You've Never Played It, You Need To Because It's Really Addicting And You Don't Want To Quit Until You Have Achieved World Domination!!!

At Choir Practice, We Started Practicing Easter Songs. We Are Singing "Because He Lives", "He Lives", And "Low in The Grave He Lay". I Thought That The Choir Did Really Well With These Three. No, They're Not New To Us But We Haven't Ever Sung Them All Together...I Don't Think??

During Choir In The Evening Service, I Just About Couldn't Hold It Together. I Got So Tickled Because Our Fearless Leader Really Decided To Be Fearless And Sing 2 Songs That We Haven't Sang In 10+ Years. They Were "Oh, Hasten The Day" And "Oh To Be There". It Was Rough But I Personally Think We Only Derailed The Trail A Few Times...So....That's Not Too Bad...

Oh, And I Found This Video Of "Low In The Grave He Lay"....
Hey Dyson, We Should Learn This....

Worms, Mollusks, And Crayfish....Oh My!!!

2010-03-04T18:50:00.000-08:00

Today, In Lab We Got To Start Dissection.
We Dissected An Annelid Worm...

A Mollusk...

And A Giant Crayfish...

Sniff Sniff....Sniff Sniff

2010-03-01T16:41:00.000-08:00

My Sinuses Have Decided To Play Cowboys And Indians With My Throat And Overall Well Being. Today Has Been A Boring Day. I'm Kinda Glad Because I Feel Like Horse Mahookee And Wouldn't Have Been Able To Handle Any Excitement.

I Just Got Through Writing An Article For The News Topic. It's About.....I'll Just Let You Read It.

Some times as a student I question the relevance of what we are learning in the classroom. Am I ever going to use this in life? What does this have to do with anything in the “real world”?

Recently, in biology we have been studying how your genes affect who you are, what you do, and what sicknesses you may encounter. We did a lab that simulated microarrays. Microarrays allow technicians to take a copy of your DNA (the biological instruction manual) that they get from replicating your mRNA (the individual pages of the manual that are being read) and find out which genes are expressed in different situations. This is used in testing for diseases such as lung cancer. Microarrays are very important because they now allow us to know when and where the genes for cancer (amongst other diseases) begin.

We simulated this by using a slide with eight wells. In each well we put down a DNA sequence that we were looking for. Then, we dropped the cDNA (copied DNA from earlier) onto each of the wells. The cDNA was previously died with dyes that fluoresce certain colors. In this case, pink means that the gene is found in lung cancer cells and blue means that the gene is found in a normal cell. When we dropped the cDNA onto the slide, certain wells showed up pink (meaning that the gene was expressed in a lung cancer cell) and others showed up purple (meaning that the gene is expressed in both cancerous and normal) and a few showed up blue (meaning the gene is expressed in normal cells).

I’m really glad we did this experiment. Not only was it fun and interesting, the experiment was relevant. It showed us all that what we learn in school really does carry on into real life. You never know, It might even save a life someday!

Mall Madness.../Google Earth

2010-02-27T14:21:00.000-08:00

Today, My Mom And I Went To The Mall. It Was Fun. We Unintentionally Saved Lots Of Money. I Got 20% Off At My Fave Clothing Store. My Mom Saved Over $20+ At Sally's. Great Day.

Tomorrow, My Intentions Are To Work On My Graduation Project. I Really Wouldn't Mind Some Snow This Week. It'd Give Me A Chance To Get This Grad Project Knocked Out And Finished.

Staples Is Having A Really Awesome Deal Starting Tomorrow. It's A Epson Printer/Scanner/Copier/Facsimile And It's Usually $100. Tomorrow, It'll Be $59.99.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I Don't Know If Y'all Have Played With Google Earth Or Not But It Is Really Amazing. It's Fun To Zoom To Your Favorite Locations And Use "Street View" To Actually Get On The Street Level And See What It Looks Like. They Have It For PC, Mac, Linux, Android, And iPhone.

Nuke The Roach...

2010-02-25T16:38:00.000-08:00

Last Night, When I Got Out Of The Shower, There Was A Certain Arthropod Sitting On The Sink Being A Peeping Tom. It Was A Roach!!!! Ewww.....
I Probably Have Saw Less Than 10 Roaches Since I've Lived In This House. It's Still Gross Nonetheless. I Tried To Kill It With Soap, Hot Water, And Sunscreen. He Just Would Not Die!!!!! So, I Sent Him To The Septic Tank. Hope He Knows How To Swim...

I Just Got Done With Pretty Much All Of My Homework. This Makes Me Happy Because Now I Can Relax. All Of The Assignment That I Just Did Have A Due Date Of March 2nd or Further. So, I'm Really Ahead And I Like It That Way. I Had To Write A Paper On Traditional Gender Roles. I Used The Controversial Pregnant Barbie That Came Out In 2002 As An Example.

Dyson And I Have Been Inquiring About The Stamps-Baxter School Of Music. It Is Still In Existence. It's Taught By Various People Including Ben Speer And Others. It Costs In Excess Of $500 To Go. However, I Still Would Love To Go!!!

Accidental Choir Experience

2010-02-23T16:22:00.000-08:00

Today At School I Got My Creative Juices Flowing. In English, We Worked On Our Utopian Society. We're Building It Out Of Candy And Other Edible Things. In Class This Morning, We Finished Up The Sidewalk. Then, In Connections, (What Part I Was There For) We Painted The Rest Of The Board And Made A Swing And A Slide And They Look Really Cool!!!

For The First Part Of Connections, I Went On A Search For The Director Of The Music Department At The College. I Wanted Some Copies Of Sheet Music For My Book. I Couldn't Find Her. I Found Kim Rinck And Asked Her What She Was Doing. Turns Out, The Beginners Choir Was Practicing In The Theatre. I Went In And Asked This Other Music Teacher About What I Needed. I Ended Up Staying For 4-Song Concert. They Sang "Gloria", Something Be Mozart, We Shall Not Be Moved, And Seasons Of Love. Some Were Good, Others Not.

Hmmmm... No One At School Noticed That I Was Gone. LOL

Here Comes The Brenda....

2010-02-21T18:32:00.000-08:00

Yes, I'll Explain. Before The Wedding On Saturday, A Preacher Dude Stands Up And Was Going To Pray For A Long And Prosperous Marriage For Bruce And DEBBIE. He Didn't Say Debbie Though....He Said Brenda. Does Debbie Know About Brenda? LOL
The Wedding Was Pretty Nice. 3 Songs, A Fairly Good Pianist, A Nervous Groom...Ya Know, All The Basics.

Then, On Saturday Night, One Of My Friends And I Went To A Play At Hibriten. It Was The "Student-Directed One Act Play". It Was Called "The Whole Shebang" And It Was Very Funny.

Sunday:
I Went To Gmaws To Eat And We Worked On Dyson And Dalton's Ipods All Day Trying To Get Songs And Apps From One Medium To The Other. Then, I Went To Hospice Where There Are 2 MRSA Patients. One Of Which Was Respiratory And We Had To Wear Masks. I Thought It Was Funny Because The Nurse Practitioner Asked Me What I Thought We Should Give Him. She Said Vancomycin And I Said Clindamycin or Zyvox. No, I Don't Expect You To Know The Difference Between My Choice And Hers But Know This, My Choice Would Work Faster Because It's More Potent. Her Response Was "He Gonna Die Anyway". How Terrible. At Least With My Method, He Wouldn't Have A Chance To Infect The Rest Of Us.

Tomorrow, I Have A College Biology Test. No, I'm Not Really Worried. It's On Stuff Like The Big Bang And Comparative Morphology. Easy Stuff. (Yes, I Can See Your Eyes Rolling To The "Big Bang" Statement....I Agree...)

Piano Edumacation

2010-02-19T13:24:00.000-08:00

Unnecessary Time Wasted

2010-02-17T16:41:00.000-08:00

School Today Was Pretty Easy. I Had A Math Test That Was Possibly The Easiest Math Test Ever!! Then Biology, Then College Biology.
In College Biology, We Talked About Endosymbiosis. This Is Where Organisms Engulf Other Organisms But They Do Not Digest Them. So, We Ingest Bacteria That Help Us Break Down Food. But, We Don't Digest Them. We Just Use Them. Pretty Cool Huh?

Then, I Waited Around Until Time For Sociology. When I Go To Class (I Go Early), There Are Usually 2 Girls One Table Behind Where I Sit. They Weren't In There But I Didn't Think Much Of It. I Sat In There For A Minute, Then I Went And Used The Restroom (Yes, You Needed To Know That Detail.). When I Came Back Into The Classroom....I Saw The Sign. "SOC 213 Class Has Been Cancelled For 2/17/10".
Grrr....Oh Well....At Least I Got To Come Home Early.

Tomorrow, I Have Lab. I'm so Sick Of Doing That Taxonomy Notebook. I Am Not Learning Anything. It's A Fairly Easy 100 Though...

Here's Something To Keep You Entertained:

Online Physics Games

Look...It's Snowww....Oh Wait Never Mind....

2010-02-15T21:42:00.000-08:00

School Let Out This Morning At 9:40. I Had 2 College Classes Today Though. So, I Had To Stay. I Went To US History, Played Risk, Unloaded Pepsi Products Of A Truck, Went To College Class, Filled Pepsi Orders, Went To College Class, Went Home, Did Homework.
I've Done Three Homework Assignments This Evening And None Of Them Have A Due Date Earlier Than Next Monday. Now, I'm Done With Everything!!

I Thought It Was Incredibly Dumb For Caldwell County Schools To Let The Whole County. It Snowed For Around 2 Minutes At School Today. That's It. The Roads Were Fine And It Wasn't Extremely Cold. I Just Wonder If We Have To Make It Up. I Shouldn't Have To Because I Was There All Day Today.

Tomorrow Will Be My Easy Day. I Have To Build A Model Of A Utopian Society Out Of Candy!!!

This Video Isn't Meant For Ya'll (Of Course You Can Watch It). I Wanted To Show Dyson.

Chop Shop Kia-Thank Heavens For Google...

2010-02-14T18:07:00.000-08:00

On Friday, My Brakes Decided That They Wanted To Go On Social Security. They Squawked And Scraped Me To Death. So, Saturday Night, My Dad Decided To Turn Work Place Into A Makeshift Garage.
We Ran Into One Problem. The Thing On The Caliper (Yes, I Do Know A Car Word Or Two.) Wouldn't Go Back In. On Normal Cars, You Just Squish It Back In There. I Had To Get On One Of The Office Computers And Google My Dilemma. Turns Out, You Have To Screw It Back In There.

The Speaker/Preacher Dude Said Something Sunday Night That Struck Me Very Odd. He Made An Illustration Comparing Our Lives To A Boat. Somehow, He Thought He Needed To Mention The Different Types Of Power (Fuels) That Boats Use. He Said Diesel. Ok. Then, He Said Nuclear Powered. Wrong....There Are No Nuclear Powered Boats. Talk About Polluting. Preacher Dude, Don't Give The Government Any Ideas. LOL.

Oh And Something Else. I Hate It When People Give Modern Medicine A Bad Wrap. They Pick On Depression Pills And Other Drugs That They Say People Don't Need. They Say That People Should Rely Solely On God To Work To Take The Trouble And Pain Away. Did You Ever Stop To Think That Maybe God Could Work Through A Pill. Medicines Aren't Bad. This Is A Message For All The Ranters Who Hate Medicine. If You Feel This Way, Next Time You Have A Headache, Don't You Dare Take A Tylenol. When You Eat That Third Taco And You Want A Tums, Don't Take It. Since You're The One Who Said That Medicines Are Of Man And Not God.

Ok....My Rant Is Over.... : )

I Really Hope School Is On A 1-2hr Delay Tomorrow. It Would Mean I'd Miss Math. Yay!!! Sorry Mrs. Land....

No.....Snow.....Grr....

2010-02-13T10:49:00.000-08:00

I Really Am Not Liking This Winter At All. I Haven't Been To My Mom's In A Month, I Seem To Have To Leave Grandma's Early Every Friday, And It's Really Cold.

Today, I'm At Home Doing Absolutely Nothing. I Am Picking Up Around The Room And Thats About It. I Wanted To Work On My Graduation Project But That's Not Going To Happen For The Simple Fact That I Really Don't Have The Oomph To Do It.

Law Abiding Citizen

2010-02-11T16:42:00.000-08:00

Today, I Had Lab. We Only Had 3 Phylums To Draw So, I Left School At 1:45.
I Went To Wal-Mart And Dropped Off My Prescription. I Saw Marla And She Asked Me To Help Her Print Something Off At The Photo Centre For Dyson's School Project. Well, It Was Going To Take An Hour And She Didn't Want To Wait So I Told Her I Get It And Bring It To Dyson Tomorrow.
I Went And Got My Hair Cut Then Came Back To WalMart To Get My Drugs And The Picture. When I Got To The Counter To Pay For The Picture, The Women Asked Me Who Took The Photo. I Said I Didn't Know. She Wouldn't Sell It To Me Because "I Didn't Have Permission From The Copyright Holder" To Copy It. Come To Find Out, Dyson Had Pulled The Video Off Of Wikipedia. I Went On Wikipedia And Found The Permissions Section And Found Out That The Photo Was Released Into The Creative Commons Under The 3.0 Attribution License. I Showed The Lady At The Counter And She Still Said No. I Got The Manager Of WalMart Back There And Showed Her And She Said Yes. (The Photo People Switched Shifts) The New Guy Still Said No So I Got The Manager Back There Again And Then She Made Him Let Me Buy It. Haha....It Works Out Good When You Know A Little Legal Stuff Huh?

I Got Home At About 4:00 And From 4-7:30 , I Worked On My Taxonomy Journal...Sheeze, Do You Know How Hard It Is To Draw A Stupid Pine Cone?!?!?!? Grrr....

Tomorrow Is "Locks Of Love" At School. Then, Were Doing Dumb Valentine's Day Games Until 2:30.

I Heard A Funny Quote:
"It Was Amateurs Who Built The Ark. It Was Professionals Who Built The Titanic."

Simple Day....

2010-02-09T19:03:00.000-08:00

Hard Days Are Coming Though. Tomorrow, I Have 2 Tests: Sociology and US History. I'm Not Worried About The History Test, It's The Sociology That Makes Me Nervous. I Don't Know If It's Just Me Or What But I Really Haven't Learned Anything In That Class. What Is He Going To Test On? You Can't Test On Nothing.....Mhhhmmhmhm...

Today Was Soooo Easy. I Had English And I Took A Quiz. Then, I Had Seminar And Well Who Knows What Went On In There. Then, I Had Connections (Which Is The Class Where You Work On Stuff.) But I Had Nothing To Work On Because I'm A Good Student And Do My Work Ahead Of Time. So, I Went To Go Help Dyson With A Poster For The Valentine's Dance. Then, I Got Wrongfully Reprimanded And So I Had To Go Back To Connections And Do Nothing For Another Hour.

Then, I Went To Grandma's And Then Revival At Church.
I Have One Thing To Say (Or Show) About Revival:
SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER: (This Is How It's Should Be Done...)

The Light, It Burns....

2010-02-08T15:50:00.000-08:00

This Morning I Woke Up And My Right Pupil Was Dilated. Not Just A Little....Like, You Couldn't Even See My Iris...All I Had Was Pupil. This Wasn't Caused By My Contacts Because I Didn't Even Have Them In. So, I Have Been Very Sensitive To Light. My Pupils Are Still Huge, But At Least You Can See My Iris Now. It Was A Little Scary This Morning.

It Looked Like This Only Much Worse:

Usually, When I Go To Sleep, I Don't Dream. Last Night, However, I Did. Do You Want To Hear About It? Sure You Do!!!
I Had A Dream That Grandma Had Arbitrarily Gave Me A Card With Money In It. When I Opened The Card, I Pulled Out The Money. Grandma Jerked A Bill Out Of My Hand And Said, "Hmmm... I Think I Need To Keep This One It's Serial Number Wasn't Stamped On It." Then She Took Away Another Bill That Was Missing Everything Except For The Border. I Was Left Broke And Sad...Then, I Woke Up...

I Found This Video On YouTube And I Thought I'd Share It:
I Know It's Really Long But It's Really Funny.... (And It's So True...)

100 Sq Ft In 50...

2010-02-06T17:27:00.000-08:00

This Morning, I Got Up And Felt The Urge To Rearrange My Room....Let's Just Say That Was A Bad Idea. I'm Only One Person And Most (All) Of My Furniture (Piano, Bed, And Desk.) Are Huge And Take At Least Two People To Move. I Wanted To Flip-Flop Sides Of The Room. I Even Got Out The Ruler To Make Sure It Would Work. It Would But It Didn't....Grrr...
So, I Had To Move Everything Back And Go To Plan B.

Then, I Went To Hickory And Bought 3 Shirts. Then, I Came Home....

THE END...

This Is A Creepy Video That I Found...It Cool Though:

I'm Beginning To Believe You Came From A Monkey...Not...

2010-02-05T19:06:00.000-08:00

As Make-up Homework For The Day We Missed Of Biololgy. She Assigned This TWO HOUR Long Video About "What Darwin Didn't Know".... Grrr.....That's What I Had To Waste My Morning On....
Not That Any Of You Should Watch This Video, But Here It Is:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/beta/evolution/darwin-never-knew.html

I Really Didn't Do Much Else Today...

Oh Yea....For My Final Lab Product, I (Along With 3 Other People On My Team) Have To Bring In 51 Organisms In May. REAL Organisms....Everything From Amoebas to Birds to Parasitic Worms to Cherries... If Any Of You Have A Shark, Bird, Lizard, or Frog And Would Let Me Borrow It In May...Let Me Know Because I'll Need It....

I'm Really Sick Of This Winter Weather...I'm Tired Of Missing School. Not Because I Want To Go Or Anything, I Just Don't Want To Make It Up....

The Culture Of Wal-Mart

2010-02-04T16:25:00.000-08:00

Remember The Other Day How I Said That Their Were Like 20 Pregnant Women In There. Well, Today I Went Into Wal-Mart And It Seemed As If Everyone Was In Wheelchairs. It Was So Weird.
So, I Went To Wal-Mart To Get A SubWay Sammy. This Was A 3:00ish Today And I Really Didn't Want To Get The Sub That Early. I Walked Around And Ended Up Getting A Quart Tub Of Vanilla Yogurt. When I Got Up To The Counter, The Nosy Lady Behind Me Inquired About The Yogurt And She Started Ranting About How We All Should Be Vegetarian Because Our Beef Has Parasitic Worms In It. It Was All I Could Do To Not Laugh and/or Correct Her.

Today In Taxonomy, We Talked About Little Plants Like Moss, Liverworts, And Ferns. It Wasn't As Stressful This Week Because We Knew What We Had To Do And We Also Had Less To Do. Last Week We Had 11 Phylum To Do. This Week, It Was Only 5.

For My Final Exam, We Have To Bring In 51 Different Organisms.
The List Contains Things Like Protists, Diatoms, Birds, Clams, Etc....
I Think I'll Probably Culture Some Of The Organisms....Hmmm....

Clabberation-Videos And Wooly-Boogers

2010-02-02T15:36:00.000-08:00

Clabberation:
This Morning, Dyson, Dalton, And I Went With Gmaw and Gpaw to Dot's Cafes. Let's Just Say I Ordered Milk He (Kermit) Brought It And Told Me To Taste It And See If It Was Good. (I Think It Had Begin To Clabber) It Was OK But I Couldn't Bring Myself To Drink It...So I Got Tea...

As Far As The Video Part Of The Title Goes:
Dyson And I (Mostly Dyson) Recorded Some Songs That We Play And Put Them On YouTube.
Go Here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/colbytylerford

After I Left Grandmaws, I Went To Wal-Mart. Apparently All The Scary People Come Out From In Under The Rocks Of Ugly Town. I've Never Saw That Many Ugly Pregnant Women With More Showing Than Not....Sheez People, Cover Up...That's What Got You Pregnant...

Today, We Had To Start Our Taxonomy Journals In Lab. It's Horrible. She (Mrs. Williams) Crammed 2 Labs In One And No One Knew What To Do. No One Got Finished And Now We Have To Finish Our Drawings And Information With The Specimen Or Help. I'm Like 45% Done. I'm NOT Working On It Anymore Tonight. I Have A Headache And I Am SICK OF THIS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AT ALL!!!

Grandma Fixed Sourdough Bread Today And It Was Really Good.

We Tried On Some Of Her And GPaws Old School Clothes.

Sunday, At Youth, I Went To Get A Roll Of Toilet Paper To Wipe My...Nose With. It Looked Lonely So We Gave It A Face And Then Returned It To Its Natural Habitat.

Bynx, My Cat, Brought Me Another Welcome Home Gift Today. It Was A Large Fat Mouse. Let's Just Say....I Went In The Back Door.

Last Night, We Went To A Church In Morganton To Sing. Their Were So Many People There That We (The Youth Choir) Had To Sit In The Choir Loft. That Church Had The Comfiest Seats Of Any Church That I've Ever Been In. We Weren't The Only Singin' Folk There Though. Archie Watkins of The Inspiration Was There And He Sang Too.

Here's The Sheet Music To The Song That He Song: "If You Only Knew":

I'm Feeling A Little Better Today. In The Words Of Grandma Tolbert: "It's Congealing And Coming Out In Chunks..."

In Lab Today We Studied Taxonomy, Dichotomy Keys, And Algae.....
The Algae Part Was Pretty Cool Because We Had To Take Samples And Observe The Under The Microscope And Figure Out What Kind Of Algae It Was. I Killed One Because I Squished It Because I Observed Too Closely And Used A Lens That Was To Big And...SPLAT...

I Went To The Coachs vs. Wrestlers Match Tonight At Hibriten. Mr. Miller Did Really Well. As For Some Other People...Not So Much....

Last Sunday, I Started Downloading Sibelius 6 For Mac. It Took Until Friday To Download. Well, I Downloaded It On My PC And Was Gonna Transfer It To My Mac. I Can't Because It's Way To Large To Fit On My Flash Drive Or A DVD....Oh..Darn...

I Went To Panera Bread With My Mom Today. I Had The Cinnamon Crunch Bagel. It Was Amazing But Now I Fell Sick. She Had The Bondie And Said It Was Good. It's Sooo Expensive...

I Really Don't Have A Title For Today's Post Because I Really Don't Have Anything To Say.
I Had To Write An Essay About Early 20th Century Technology:
Here's The Intro:
We think of today as the “age of technology”. We have computers, cell phones, and the Internet. These things are the gateway to the world’s knowledge that can be hoisted into your palms in a blink of an eye. These modern conveniences are now crucial to our everyday lives, yet we take them for granted. The early 20th century brought forth three great technological advancements that are still used to this very day. The first flight of an airplane and the revolution of the printing press along with the invention of the camera made this time period an era for sharing news, knowledge, and anything else you wanted friends and loved ones to experience.

Right Now I'm Trying To Answer The Last Question On My Evolution Homework. The Question Is To Find 5 Reasons Of Proof That Evolution Exists....Oh Boy!!!

I Watched American Idol Last Night And Heard A Song That I Thought You Might Like:

Grandma, This Link Is For You....Don't Be Skerd....Click It Already!!!

Don't Remove That...You Might Need It...

2010-01-13T20:19:00.000-08:00

I'm A Bit Overwhelmed At The Workload From School This Week. I Had 6 Assignments Today And Only Got Done With 2. I'm Now Going To Type Part Of An Essay About 20th Century Technology.

The Only Reputable Thing That I've Learned All Week Is That You Actually Do Use Your Appendix. Your Appendix Hosts A Lot Of Antibodies And Resources For You Body. When Your Body Is Under Attack, Your Appendix Sends Out Minions To Kill The Bad Guys. If A Bacteria Gets To Your Appendix, It Causes Appendicitis And I Could Burst. (Leaving A Huge Gaping Hole In Your Colon In Which The Bowels (LOL) Of Doom Spill Out Into Your Carcass.

I Had 5 Classes Today And Didn't Finish Sociology Until 5:00. It Was Soooo Boring!!!

I Have Lab Tomorrow. I Hope It's Fun And Meaningful. I Hate Going To School (A Learning Establishment) And The Teachers Not Earning Their Paycheck!!!

It Is Finished!!

2010-01-12T06:52:00.000-08:00

I Finally Got My Sociology Book Today. Its Quite A Bit Larger Than I Thought It Was But That's Ok, It's Still Not As Big As CIS-110 Gargantuon Book...
I Walked All The Way To J Building To Get It....That's When The Pokey Lady Notified Me That I Had To Have My Schedule...I Asked If I Could Print It Of But She Said That The School Should Have It.. So, I Walked All The Way Down There And Found Out That I Needed To Print It Out Myself....
I Did And Then Walked All The Way Back Up There To See The Book Lady Poke And Pittle-Fart Around Handing Books Out To People...Grr...

Then, I Went To Staples. (The Employees Think That I Live There..So Do I) I Went Down The Pen/Pencil Isle To Get Pencils. These 2 Rude Ladies Walked In Front Of Me So They Could Get To The Pens On The Other Side...That One Lady Bought A Pen For $29.99!!! Why??? I'll Keep My $10 Pen Thank You Very Much...

I Had Lab Today And We Talked About Evolution...It's Really Not As Bad As People Make It Out To Be. No, I Don't Completely Believe In It...I'm Just Saying That Evolution Is Not All About Monkeys...

Tomorrow, I Have Lab! I Really Didn't Think That Lab Would Start Until Next Week But...Surprise...Tomorrow's Lab Will Be On Evolution...
Oh Goody...This Will Finally Explain The Monkeys (or Is It Monkies???) In My Family...Yes, Grandpa, That Means You...

School is tomorrow and I'm kinda glad because I am ready for this year to be over with because I think that next year will be much easier and better. This year has been difficult for all of us because of the biology along with the other classes and the senior project.

Today, I went to grandma's and we cleaned up shelves and a bunch of other stuff.

I went to Staples this evening and I ran into this guy that had entirely too much cologne on and it almost knocked me down. All I ended up buying was a 3-hole punch and some of my favorite pens that are $9 a pack but I love using them...

Home From The Holidays...

2010-01-03T10:11:00.000-08:00

I Haven't Been Home Since Thursday Because I Went To Meme's And Helped Her Take All Her Christmas Stuff Down. Then, I Went To Grandmaw's To Stay Friday Night.

I Was Pooped From All That Un-Decorating At Meme's. That Lady Had 295+ Ornaments On Her 5ft Tree. Plus, When She Takes Them Off, She Dusts Them, Wipes Them, And Places Them Back In Their Original Boxes....Sheez, It Took Forever. Although It Is Time Consuming, Her Stuff Looks Brand New And Beautiful.

Last Night At Grandma's, We Play The Card Game Version Of Pickureka. I Only Paid $5 For Deck And It Turned Out To Be Really Fun.

Here's A Joke For You:
A New Barbie Doll Came Out Called The Divorce Barbie. Guess What She Comes With?....All Of Ken's Things....LOL

I'm Not Sure Yet If I'm Going To My Mom's Or Not. The Weather Peeps Are Calling For Ice And All Kinds Of Cold Yucky Stuff....I'm Definitely Not Driving If Theirs Ice...
Grr...I Like Snow, Not Ice....Go Away You Cold-Hearted Stubborn Water Variant...

88 Keys And Bumfuzzled

2009-12-29T18:00:00.000-08:00

Well, The Piano Finally Came In...
The Box Was Was So Huge That I Grandpa Had To Pick It Up In His Truck And Then We Took It To My House...
I Just Got Through Putting It Together...Man, Was That Difficult...
I Like It, Sorta...It's Really Difficult To Understand. The Only Thing I Know How To Do Is Turn It On...I'm Reading The Manual Though...
Just In Case You Wanted To Know, It's The Yamaha YPG-635.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today, I Went To Grandmaws. We Took Down All Of Her Christmas Stuff And Then Put Her House Back In Order. Her Sectional Couch Was Moody And Didn't Want To Attach To His Other Parts....

Request...
I Need Sibelius 6 For Mac. I Have It For PC, Just Not Mac. I'm Usually The One Everybody Comes To For Software But This Time, I Can't Find It....
If You Have It Let Me Know. Also, If You Have Any Other Mac Software That You'd Like To Share Let Me Know.
I Have Office 2008 For Mac And iWorks....If Anyone Wants It...

Holy Halibut Batman!!!

2009-12-28T10:12:00.000-08:00

No, My Piano Still Hasn't Came In...
Today, I'm Just At Home Moving Stuff Around Trying To Make Room For The 88-Keyed Thing That I Don't Have Yet...
Yesterday, I Went To Staples. I Bought 6 Binders, A Pack Of Sheet Protectors, and An iPod Touch Case (Which I Ended Up Taking Back). When I Got To The Cash Register, The Total Was Over $80....I Almost Had A Heart Attack...
I Guess That Goes To Show You How Little You Get For What You Give.
I Don't Want To Give Staples A Bad Rap Though. They Have Cheaper Prices On All Of Their Binders Than Wal-Mart. Also, They Have Some Really Good Deal On Some Items....
They Have Bluetooth Headsets For $10... And Really Good Buys On CDs and DVDs...

As I Said, I'm Kinda Cleaning My Room. I Was Dusting And I Was Using Windex Anti-Bacterial For Surfaces...IT SMELLS AMAZING!!!!
I Know This Is Kinda Odd....But If You Have It At Home, Smell It....

I Never Realized How Much Sheet Music I Had Until Now. I Filled Up A Bookshelf and I Haven't Even Got To My File Cabinet Yet....

Racking Up Around Tha Christmas Tree...

2009-12-26T20:12:00.000-08:00

For Some Reason, This Christmas I Got A Lot Of Stuff....Expensive Stuff....Yay!!
From My Mom, I Got A Custom Built MacBook...
From My Dad, I Got A Yamaha YPG-635 Piano.....(Which Hasn't Came Yet...Grrr....)
From Grandma And Grandpa, I Got A 32GB iPod Touch...
From Meme And Pepaw, I Got Money And.....Drumroll....The Most Important Thing...An Umbrella!!!!
(You May Think That An Umbrella Is Dumb, But When You Have To Walk Up To College Class 2 Days A Week In The Rain....You Appreciate It...

I Like (Not Love Yet...It's Our 1st Week Together...) My MacBook...
Snow Leopard, Apple's OS, Is Really Cool...But Very Different From What I'm Used To...
I Haven't Decided Is Windows or Snow Leopard is Better Yet...But You Know Which Way I'm Leaning...LOL

I'm Excited About Finally Getting A Piano Because I've Played For 6 Years And Still Haven't Got One At Home. I Just Wish My Dad Wasn't Such A Procrastinator And Would've Ordered The Thing Earlier To Where I Would've Gotten It On / Before Christmas....It Should Be Here Next Week Though...

I Really Hope We Don't Have Any More Icy Spells...I Hate Driving Dangerously...Although I Get The Urge To Sing "Jesus Take The Wheel" When I See A Slick Spot...

I'm A Mac...Not A PC...

2009-12-24T11:59:00.000-08:00

I Finally Got My Mac!!! FedEx Said That They Would Have It Delivered By 10:30AM...I Didn't Get It Till 2:30ish...The Driver Couldn't Find The House...Well It's Here Now And I'm Happy And Confused...
Here's What It Looks Like:

Christmas Is Tomorrow And I'm A Little Excited...I Won't Have Anything To Open From My Dad Because Whatever He Ordered Didn't Come In. Also, I Won't Be Opening Anything Up At My Mom's House Because I've Already Got It. (Hint: I'm Typing On It Right Now...)
I Love Christmas Day Because I Have A Lot Of Fun At Both Of The GP's Houses...Yes, Grandma, That Means You!!!

Hope You All Have A Merry Christmas!!

Things That We Do That Are Dumb...

2009-12-23T09:07:00.000-08:00

Humans Have Quirks Don't We?
I Noticed That This Morning When I Went To The Bank At 9:00AM.
When I Ordered My Macbook Yesterday, I Customized It And Added A Package That Gave Me Some Programs. This, In Turn, Raised The Price. Well, My Mom 'Bout Shot Me So She Said I Needed To Go Deposit The Difference Into The Bank This Morning.
So, I Got Up, Got Ready, And Headed To The Bank At 8:15ish. Little Did I Know That the Bank Didn't Open Till 9:00.
I Went To Wal-Mart To (Literally) Waste Time. When I Got Back To The Bank At 8:59, Their Was This Really Odd Guy That Kept Staring At Me. He, Not So Kindly, Said That They Weren't Open Yet. (I Wasn't Trying To Pass Him) But He Kept Making Sure That He Was Going To Be The First Person In The Bank. He Was....I Just Thought That This Was Dumb Because I Went In 2nd And Came Out Before He Did. The Teller Lady Helped Me Faster Because I Was Being Patient And He Was Being A Jerk....Karma!!!

Look At This:

Oh And To Make A Long Story Short, My Mac Should Be Here By Tomorrow..Hopefully...

I'm A Mac...Well...Soon To Be...

2009-12-22T17:09:00.000-08:00

My Mom Told Me Last Night That We Were Going To Hickory Today To Buy My Macbook From Bestbuy.
This Morning She Asked Me If I Was Excited. I Said No Because I Wasn't Going To Get My Hopes Up Just In Case Something Didn't Go Right Today.
(To Make A Long Story Short.) We Went To Bestbuy And They Were Out Of The One That I Wanted.
I Went To Apple.com Ad Ordered It With Next Day Shipping. It Should (Pray, Cross You Fingers, Give A Redhead A Noogie.) Be Here By Thursday....Hopefully....
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm Still Not Going To Get Excited Until The Thing Is In My Hands....
I Feel Like A Spoiled Brat This Christmas. I'm Getting A Macbook, A New Piano, An iPod Touch (Maybe), And Who Knows What Else...Yay...

Adventures...

2009-12-21T16:59:00.000-08:00

Today, I Went To Grandmaws. We Went To Dot's, Carolina Pottery, Wal-Mart, Bank, Food Lion, Lowes, And ActII Hair Salon.
In Wal-Mart, We Saw The Guy Off Of That Lawyer Commercial. (In The Commercial) He's Says, "I Had My Accident In Lenoir." Then, We Saw A Duct Tape Moment. This (Quite Large) Lady Was Walking Down The Aisle. Her Shirt Was Pulled Up And Her Belly Was Shining To All Of Lenoir.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tomorrow, I'm Going With My Mom To Hickory. I'm Not Really Sure What She's Getting. I Know I Won't Be Getting Anything...So....Oh Well...It Gets Me Outta Da House.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dyson Showed Me This Website: http://icanhascheezburger.com/. It's So Funny!! Check It Out...

I Like The Way That This Guy Plays "Swing Low". Although, He Couldn't Stay On Beat If He Was In A Room With 100 Metronomes.

Blah...Blah...Blog...

2009-12-19T15:37:00.000-08:00

I Honestly Am About To Smash My Head Into The Wall So That I Could Have Something To Do...
These Four Walls Are Closing In On Me...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've Cataloged 3 of My Sheet Music Books. I've Got 8 Pages Typed Up On My Computer Of The Contents Of Just Those Three Books....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've Been On And Off Of Facebook All Day Long...It's So Boring Because All Everyones' Status Say Is "It's Snowing" or "Another Boring Day". Duh People....Put Something Interesting...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've Really Got Nothing Else To Say So...So Long Until Tomorrow....
Oh Yeah Church Is Cancelled Tomorrow Just In Case You Didn't Get The Memo....

I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas....

2009-12-18T11:49:00.000-08:00

I'm Not Dreaming Of A White December 18th....
Don't Get Me Wrong, I Love Snow. I Just Hate It When It Ruins Your Plans.
I Was Supposed To Go To My Mom's Today But That Didn't Happen Because Of The Weather.
I Really Hope That It Stops Snowing And It Waits Until Christmas. Then, I Hope There Is Just A Light Groud Covering....No Ice!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm Bored Out Of My Mind Today So, I Thought That I'd Share This LOL Moment...

Say Hello To My Still Standing 4.0!!!

2009-12-17T15:06:00.000-08:00

BIO-111 Grades Are Up And I Made A 97.7% In The Entire Class!!!! I'm Sooooo Excited Because That Means I Still Have A 4.0 GPA.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today Was Our Last Day At School. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS!!! We Had A Mini (Un)Talent Show Today. The "Acts" Sang Christmas Songs. Song Were OK. Others....Well.... Yah Know. "A" For Effort Though.
We Watched This Super Long Kiddie Video About This Stupid Moose (Named Hal) Who Wanted To Fly Like A Reindeer. It Was So Dumb. They Didn't Even Have Rudolph And Mrs. Claus Looked Like A Hoochie Mama.
Then, We Watched Nightmare Before Christmas. I Can Almost Quote That Movie Because I've Seen It So Many Times.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm Hoping It Doesn't Snow Tomorrow Because I Haven't Been To My Mom's In 3 Weeks And I'd Kinda Like To Go. They've Already Sprayed The Roads So...Cross Your Fingers.
I'm Hopefully Sleeping In In The Morning. I Need It Because I'm A Little Pooped...

Snip....Save...Hallelujer!!

2009-12-16T15:54:00.000-08:00

My ears just got lowered and it feels so good. While in the chair, the barber in the next chair over was talking to his customer about politics. I felt like is should get up and smack him. 95% of the things that came out of his mouth were untrue. He said that the US needs to be more like Europe. (Because they do everything so well!) I wanted to throw something at him.

Although my Grad. Proj. paper has been finished for a week or so, I just now revised it because I just now got it back. Now the whole darn thing is completely finito, done, finished.....HALLELUJER!!

Red Puffy Lab Rat....

2009-12-12T19:33:00.000-08:00

On Friday, I Went To A Lab In Durham. We Learned About Cystic Fibrosis. We Tested New Drugs That Haven't Even Been Released Yet On Lung Cultures. I Studied A New Drug Called ISP. It Worked! If This Drug Hits The Market, People With Cystic Fibrosis Could Live Normal Healthy Lives....Theoretically....

On Saturday, I Went To The Tri-State Baptist Children's Home. Grandma Has A 4th Adoptive Grandson That She Buys For Every Christmas. We Went To Bristol, TN And Handed Out Gifts And Listened To Them Sing.

I Rang The Bell For The Salvation Army Saturday Evening. I Said "Merry Christmas" A Lot And Some People Spread The Spirit Others Were Scrooges.

I Have Eczema. I've Had It Since The 4th Grade. Usually It Doesn't Bother Me Much Until Winter Time. Well, Guess What!! Winter's Here!! My Nuckles Are Big Red And Puffy Because Of The Eczema. Most People Think That Eczema Is Just Simply Dry Skin That Itches A Lot. WRONG!! It Hurts And Makes Your Skin Break. I Was (An Am) In So Much Pain!! The Skin On My Pinky Ripped An I Bled Like Crazy. I Used To Use Elidel Cream On It But They Took Elidel Off The Market. I'm Not Sure Why??? All I Can Use Now Is Hydrocortizone Cream And Aloe And Lotion. Grrr....

They Stuck Me In The Basement....

2009-12-09T14:06:00.000-08:00

I Went To Hospice Today And I Got Put In The Basement Punching Holes In Like 10,000 Pieces Of Paper. Hospice Uses This Software Called "Suncoast". It's A Terribly Difficult Charting Program. Like I Said, Suncoast Is Incredibly Difficult, So They Have To Train People To Use It. Hospice Gives Out Huge Binders Full Of Resources To Help You Use Suncoast. Guess Who Got To Start The Binder-Making Process? Me!!! It Took Forever!!!! It's Done Though...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tomorrow, I Have A Lab Exam. I'm Not Really Worried About It Because It's Just All The Other Quizes Mushed Together. I Made A 92% or Better On All The Quizes So Tomorrow Shouldn't Be To Difficult....

We Got Our PSAT Score Back Today. I Didn't Do Bad. I Scored 68% Better Than All Other 11th Graders In Critical Reading, 71% Better In Math, And 83% Better In Writing Skills. Not Bad, But I Could've Done Better. We Take The SAT In Our Senior Year.

Look At Those Eyes....Are You Your Mama's Child?

2009-12-07T14:25:00.000-08:00

Today, In Biology, We Talked About Human Genetics. What You Get From Your Parents.
Here's Some Cool Traits That You May Have:
• Bent little finger. If the last joint of your little finger bends toward the fourth finger, you have the dominant allele.
• Pigmented iris – If you have blue or gray eyes, your irises are unpigmented and you are homozygous for the recessive allele. If your eyes are any other color, you have the dominant allele.
• Attached earlobes – The allele for free earlobes is dominant to the recessive allele for attached earlobes.
• Hitchhiker’s thumb – If you can bend the last joint of your thumb backward at an angle of 60 degrees or more, you have the recessive allele.
• Interlacing fingers – If you naturally cross your left thumb over your right when casually interlacing your fingers, you have the dominant allele.
• Mid-digit hair – If you have any hair on the middle segment of any of your fingers (hold them up to the light to see closely) you have the dominant allele.
• Widow’s peak – If your hairline forms a V above your forehead, you have the dominant allele.

I Went Piano Shopping Today And Didn't Get Very Far. (I'd Vent and Rant About Why But I Already Have A Headache And I've Steamed Enough.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm Posting This Part For Nikki---- : )
We Also Talked About Something Called Nondisjunction. This Means That Your Eggs Don't Have The Correct Amount Of Chromosomes. If It Has 1 Too Many, It Can Cause A Disorder Such As Trisomy 18. Which Is Fatal To The Baby. If Egg Has 1 Too Few, You'll Have The Opposite Of Trisomy Called, Monosomy. This Is Less Fatal. Random Fact: If Nikki's Baby (Johanna) Would've Been Made Out Of The Monosomy Egg Instead Of The Trisomy Egg, Johanna Would've Lived And May Have Been Mentally Retarded And Had Dimples.

Not Really But, Man Do I Ever Wish That I Could Play Like This:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last Night At Church, We (The Adult Choir) Practiced Some Christmas Songs. It's So Exciting Because I Love Hearing Christmas Music. Not To Mention Singing It And Playing It On The Piano. I Was Talking To Phillip After Church And We Talked About How Different Piano Players Play Differently But They All Can Sound Really Good. I've Always Said That It Just Depends On The Person. When I'm At Grandma's And Dyson And I Are Playing On The Piano, It Always Amazes Me How Differently We Play. He Has That Old Timey Southern Gospel Feel And I Have A More Modern/Classical Feel. Both Are Good. Depending On The Song, One May Be Better. Phillip Told Me How He Played What Child Is This. And I Could Go Home And Play Exactly How He Said But It Would Sound Completely Different. (And Vice Versa.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We Just Started Reading This Book Called "Survival of The Sickest". It Talks About How Disease May Be Bad But It's Better Than The Alternative...Death. It's Really Interesting Because It Talks About All These Horrible Diseases And How That They Are Actually Good For Survival. Example: Malaria Is A Disease That Attacks Your Red Blood Cells. But, Malaria Doesn't Like Sickle Cells. If You Have Sickle Cell Anemia, You Are Resistant To Malaria But If You're In An Area Where There Is No Malaria, Your Very Sickly.

Here Lately We've Had Sooo Much Work That Things Like Group Projects Get Pushed To The Wayside Because We Don't Have Time To Come Together To Work On Them. This Was The Case On This Assignment That I Just Finished. We Had To Make A Board Game But I Made Card Game Where You Have To Answer Questions To Get All Five Cards Of A Certain Color. I just Finished Printing Them On A Temperamental Printer...But Halleluhyer They're Finished.

Our School Is Doing A Toy Sale As A Fundraiser. In My Opinion, This Is Really Dumb. We Are All Teenagers And We Don't Buy Our Little Siblings Anything...That's Our Parent's Responsibility. I Think That They Should Do Some Kind Of Cool Fundraiser Like A iPod Sale Or Something.

Today Was The Day When We Had To Present Our Lab Presentation And Turn In Our Papers. This Morning, Our High School Biology Went Haywire On Us When She Found Out That None Of Us Did Internal Citations In The Paper. Without Them, We Technically Had Plagiarized Although We All Had Perfectly Correct "Works Cited Pages". Then, After Our Beloved English Teach Gave Us The Entire Period To Fix It, Come To Find Out...We Didn't Even Have To Have Them....Wahh Wahh...
My Presentation Went Really Well Although I Went Over Time Limit By Two Minutes....My Powerpoint Was Definately The Prettiest!!! LOL...

Tomorrow We're Supossed To Be Doing Some Kind Of Genetics Thing All Day....Bertha Might Rise Again And Haunt Us....Please Do...Let Us Go Home Early...

Today has been a fairly long day. I went to church, came home, went to RL's funeral/burial, went home with grandma and grandpa, then back to church, and lastly we had adult choir practice. RL's burial was in Buffalo Cove. If you don't know where this is, don't worry, neither does any map nor GPS. Just kidding....you take highway 268 and go as far to europe as you possibly can.... You'll get there sometime...
______________________________
At choir practice, our fearless auxillary leader decided to practice some Christmas carols. Two of which, no one knew.... While shepherds watched their flocks by night. and Angels from the realms of glory...

You know I can't go too long without showing a Youtube video: (or 2)

This is Angels From The Realms Of Glory With The In Excelsis Deo Chorus....

Meiosis....The Reason You're Here

2009-11-23T16:51:00.000-08:00

Today, in college class, we talked about meiosis. It's how gametes are made. Without going into too much detail, this is why were all different, even brothers, sisters, cousins, etc.
For those of you who don't know, my dad and his brother are colorblind. Colorblindness is hereditary. It travels through the 23rd or gender chromosome. I thought that Dyson, Dalton, and I carried the gene but it just isn't dominant. I was wrong. We can't pass it on because we don't actually carry the gene. It's carried through females only. It was carried through grandma Tolbert, grandma Linda, then my dad and Reginald. Since Dyson, Dalton, and I (are male which have XY gender chromosomes) got our X chromosomes from our mothers (who don't have the colorblindness gene) we don't have, nor can we pass it on. Cool huh...I do, however, posess the gene to where I can pass on my myopic degeneration.

I'm trying to start on my graduation project that is due on December 16th!!!! Ahh!!! It's crazy!!! I have to write 8-10 pages of junk about music. Grrr...

I Must Conclude...

2009-11-21T18:40:00.000-08:00

....That My Lab Paper And Presentation Is ABSOLUTELY FINISHED!!! Vamoose!!
I Had To Write A 2-3 Page Paper On A Topic In Biotechnology. Plus, I Had To Prepare A 4-5 Minute Presentation and Visual Aid (Powerpoint, Poster, Etc.). I Chose Powerpoint. It's All Pretty And Exciting!!! And....Most Of All It's Done!!!

Today, I Helped My Mom And Her Hubby Move Stuff From His Shop To Their Barn. I've Never Seen 2 People Have Sooo Much Stuff. Most Of It Is Mike's....Holy Moly!!!

Thanksgivin Break Is This Week And I'm Excited Because That Means That The Next Break is Christmas Break!!!

For Part of Our Final Grade In Lab, We Have To Write A Paper And Give A Presentation About a Branch Of Biotechnology. I Have Genetically Modified Food. (Such As Vegetables & Fruit.)
I'm Trying To Work On It But It's Really Hard To Even Think About It When I Have A 8 to 10 Page Paper To Write For The Grad Project.
Did You Know That They Can Take A Gene Out Of An Arctic Flounder That Causes It Not To Freeze And Put It Into A Tomato To Make It Not Freeze In Cold Weather? Cool Huh?!!

I Have To Go To Sawmills Tomorrow. I Hope We Do Something Interesting!!

I Really Feel Sorry For The Other People. Especially The Ones Who Really Studied. This Test Was On Mitosis, DNA, and RNA!!! It Was Really Confusing. I Know I Missed The 1st Question. You Ask....Well How Did I Get A 100% If I Missed One. I Actually Missed 2 Because Her Tests Have 52 Questions At 2 Points Each. 2 x 52=104%. If You Don't Miss Any, You Get A 104%.

You Can Tell That It's Starting To Turn Winter. It Was Raining Today When I Went To College Class. It Felt Like The Rain That Turns Into Sleet. It Was Cold!!!! Plus, My Umbrella Had A Little Misshap Last Year So It Exists No More!!

I Like This Prank:
Some Kids Went And Got 3 Goats And Let Them Loose In The School. But, Before They Let Them Loose, They Painted The Number 1 On The First One, 2 On The Next, And 4 On The 3rd Goat. The Staff Spent Most Of The Day Looking For Number 3....Hehe...

I Can See It Now-BETA In LIGHTS!!!

2009-11-17T17:46:00.000-08:00

I Went To Grandmas Today And We Put Her Lights Up All Along The Fence That Goes Up Her Driveway. It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas... Everywhere You Go.....
There's Actually A Lot Of People That Have Started Putting Up their Decorations.....Touche Thou Ebenezar!!!

I Just Got Inducted Into The Senior Division Of The Beta Club. I've Been In The Junior Division Since The 5th Grade. But....Due To Our Special School, They Haven't Had A Formal Induction Until Now..... Now I Have 2 Memberships Because CECHS Didn't Transfer My Charter From Oak Hill....Oh Wellllll....

Graduation Pojecasldktjslfk

2009-11-16T12:58:00.000-08:00

I just finished the note cards for my sources for my paper for the NC graduation project. Gah...that was a lot of "for"s. Um....What do I say? I hate the graduation project. I don't mind the project portion. I'm kinda excited about it because I get to write a piano book with the help of Janet Hayes....W00T!! I just despise the 8-10 page paper that we've gotta have done before Christmas!!!
Speaking of the C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S thang....

You can tell it's really starting to be Christmas time because lite 102.9 has started their Christmas music hours. Plus, yesterday we started on our Christmas play thing at church. It's called an "Old Fashioned Christmas".
Paternal grandma is gonna put up her lights all the way up her fence tomorrow. I'm excited because she hasn't put them up since I was little. Yay!! Next week, I'll be helping my maternal grandma put up all her decor yard art. She decorates her yard more than the Biltmore. Let's just say that when you put her and Dyson together in the same county, you get a power shortage...Rotflol!!

I Just Spring-Cleaned My Spam Folder....

2009-11-14T18:50:00.000-08:00

I Just Went Into My Spam Folder On Yahoo! It's Kinda Funny Looking At All The Things That People Send You. I Had Some Guy Wanting My To Help Him Smuggle Over 4 Billion Francs. He Said He'd Give My 25%!!! And...No I Didn't Do It.
I Also Got An Email From eHarmony. I Honestly Have Never Been On eHarmony. So....Why Do They Have My Email??!?!??! I Think People Sell Our Email Addresses. Grrr....

I've Been Working On My Graduation Project Stuff. My Citations And Outline Are Done. I'm Trying To Work On My Note Cards. Here's One:

Music has been shown to help in a child’s development of verbal skills. According to a research that was done at Northwestern University, music training is directly linked to enhanced verbal proficiency. The same brain development that occurs when a child practices and learns music happens when a child is learning a new skill like learning to read. Both enhance the ability for a child’s communication skills to grow. Music helps us sharpen parts of our neurological system that process sight, sound, music, and speech ability. Therefore, the earlier a child sharpens these sections of their brains, the more apt to do better at learning skills.

Does It Make Since??? Hope So....

I'm Kinda Excited That We Get To Start Christmas Play Practice Tomorrow. I Know, I Know...I'm Wierd. But...It's Really Funny Watching The "Animals"....I Mean Little Kids....

Mito-snore!!

2009-11-12T16:09:00.000-08:00

Today I Really Didn't Accomplish Much. 1st and 2nd Periods Were Not Productive At All And Lab Was Absolutely Pointless. We Talked About Mitosis And Meiosis. Most Labs Are Exciting. I Was Supossed To Find Some Inclination Of Mitois (Cell Division) Activity. I Had Tulip Root And Didn't See A Darn Thing!!! Then, We Put Beads Together To Visualize Chromosomes...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After School Was Much More Productive....
I Went And Got My Hair Cut. Then, I Came Home And Worked On My Graduation Project Stuff And My Bio Lab Presentation. I Have To Present About GMF. Genetically Modified Food. More Specifically-Plants. It's Kinda Cool....

Here's Some Examples:
Rice+(Daffodil+Bacteria Genes)=Golden Rice w/Vitaming A
Sweet Corn+Bacillus Thuringgiensis=Pesticide Production

I C U. Eye See You

2009-11-11T17:46:00.000-08:00

I Went To Grandma's Today. She's Doing Well With Her Hand Thing....Let's Just Say She's "Two Thumbs Up"

We Were Gonna Work On Putting Her Lights Up On Her Fence. It Didn't Happen Because It's A Little Too Early And It Was Too Rainy Today....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Biology Were Talking About DNA And Heredity.
Think Of This:
What Color Eyes Do You Have? Your Mom Have? Dad?

Look At This Chart:

This Is True. My Mom Has Green Eyes. My Dad Has Blue. I Used To Have Blue, Then Green, Now They Turn From Green To Teal-ish. Cool Huh?

Oh No He Didn't

2009-11-10T10:51:00.000-08:00

You Know That Really Awesome Arrangement Of "I've Got That Old Time Religion In My Heart" That Dyson Plays At Church? I (And He) Thought That Janet Wrote It....

Well Guess What??? She Didn't....

Weird Huh??? I've Say People Online That Play Like I Do But I Didn't Copy Them Nor Vice Versa. But, This Is A Little Too Difficult To Be A Coinky-Dink...

I'm trying to do my college biology homework. It's kinda hard when you're supposed to watch this video and your teacher doesn't put the correct address....
I'm stuck on this question about X Chromosome Inactivation. It's effects women. If one of your X chromosomes gets turned off, you won't have sweat glands on certain parts of your body. So, if you're a lady and don't have sweat glands on your face, right breast, left hand, etc. you may have X chromosome inactivation. Don't worry though. Remember, you have 2 X chromosomes. If I had it, it would be bad!!!

Grandma is going in for her clicky thumb surgery tomorrow. Then, she'll be able to open her own Pepsi and make some gingerbread....and maybe even fruitcake!!!

I'm watching NCIS. There cleaning up throw-up....and because of my weak stomach, I feel like going through some emesis myself.....

I had 2 tests today. The geometry one was easy. The US history one was a little more difficult....
Then, I had BIO-111 and we talked about mitosis and mutation....

2009-11-07T16:17:00.000-08:00

Friday, I Went To Eat At Brandi's. (In Blowing Rock) I Ate This Thing Called A Willy Willy Wong Dog. It's Like A Footlong Hot Dog. No, Their Wasn't Anything Special About It Other Than The Name.

I Just Got Home And I Was Surprised To See Our Christmas Tree Was Up!! Yay!!

I Just Finished A US History Review That Was Really Difficult.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tomorrow, I'm Supposed To Go To Hickory With Meme And Pepaw. It's Funny To Go With Them Because Meme Always Gets More Christmas Decor When She Has Enough To Decorate The White House And Put The North Pole To Shame....

I Really Enjoy Decorating Christmas Trees Because You Don't Really Plan Out How You're Going To Decorate It, Yet It Look Amazing Afterward.

Friday At School, We Danced To The Electric Slide, Cupid Shuffle, Cha Cha Slide, The Chicken Dance, Polka, The Jitter Bug, And Soulja Boy. Boy, Was That Interesting

Did She Have A Bowel Movement Yet??

2009-11-05T15:22:00.000-08:00

OK....I Went To Wal-Mart Today. When I Went Down The Candy Aisle, There Were 2 Ladies That Were Quite Pubilc With Their Conversation. They Were Saying Stuff Like....Well When Lucy Ate Those, She Had The Awfulest Bowel Problems....
I Just Got My Gummi Bears, Turned The Corner, And Busted Out Laughing!!
I Saw Rita From Church. Plus, I Got A Subway Sammy. I Tried Their Italian Herb Bread. It Wasn't Too Bad....

I Have Discovered This Cool Game Called: The Incredible Machine. It's Kinda Like A Puzzle Only Without Pieces. You Have Gadgets That You Put Together To Build The Mechanism To Solve The Puzzle.

It's 49 Days Till CHRISTMAS!!! Get Your Shoppin Done.....Ya Buncha Procastinates!!!

Oh Yea...I Was Looking At The Christmas CDs At Wal-Mart And This Lady Came Up Behind Be, Smacked Me On The Shoulder And Said ,"It's Not Time For Christmas"....LOL

I Went To Lowes Hardware After School Today. I Was Looking For Whiteboard Paint. They Didn't Have It But They Did Have Chalkboard Paint. It Over $11 A Can. They Also Had Magnetic Paint...I Don't Really Know Any Details On It Because It Was So Heavy That I Couldn't Hardly Lift It Off The Shelf. I Do Know That It Was Over $20 A Quart And That You Are Supposed To Paint It On The Wall And You Can Stick Magnets And Metal Stuff To It. Also, They Have Their Christmas Stuff Out. Check It Out...

To Get To My House, Their Are 2 Entrances. I Went In On The Old Entrance. I Hit A Dog....It Ran Out In Front Of My Car And I Stopped. It Wouldn't Go On So I Went And It Hit Its Head On My Tire. I Didn't Kill It. The Dog Didn't Learn Its Lesson Because Their Was Another Car Going The Opposite Way And The Dumb Ol Dog Did The Same Thing Again....

Let Me Tell You How Dumb The Peeps At Wal-Marts Vision Center Are....
I Have A Condition Called Anisometropia. This Means that My Eyes Have Two Different Prescriptions. I Ordered Contacts From The Wal-Mart Vision Center Recently. I Had To Open the Boxes This Morning Because My Other Contacts Had Ran Out. Wal-Mart So Graciously Puts An "L" On My Left Contact Box And Vice Versa. Well...They Switched The Letters Around So I Just About Put The Contacts Is The Opposite Eyes. Good Thing I Know What Each Eyes Prescription Is And I Checked Them First. If I Had Put The Contacts In By The Letters They Had Written, It Would've Really Hurt.... Way To Go Wal-Mart!!!

On Saturday, I Cleaned My Room Some More. I Got Kinda Tired At One Point So I Got My Crayons Out And Color Coordinated Them...Yes My Friends....I Was That Bored...

Oh And P.S. The Reason I Haven't Blogged Lately Is Because My Computer Caught AIDS....Or aka A Really Bad Computer Virus...So...I Gotta Either Get It Fixed Or Fix It Myself....W00T!!

My Bum Is Numb....

2009-10-30T15:49:00.000-07:00

We Went To UNC-Chapel Hill Today. To Take A Tour Of Course. We Were Supposed To Be At School At 7:15 This Morning. Well.....A Lot Of Us Were A Little Late Because We All Met At Bojangles And We Didn't Get There Until It Was More Like 7:25....Oops...
I Took Us Absolutely Forever To Get There. We Were Late So We Didn't Get To Take The Tour. Then, We Listened To This Lady Talk About The College And A Bunch Of Enrollment Junk That Didn't Apply To Us.
Then We Went To The "Pit". This Is Where The Students Hang Out. Some Bollywood Dancers Were Groovin. Protesters And Campaigners Were Shouting. Let's Just Say Is Was The Business End Of UNC.
After That, We Went Shopping. I Didn't Buy Anything Though.
Oh Yeah...Admission For One Year At UNC is $18,000. This Sounds Like A Lot But The Random Lady That I Told You About Earlier Said That Usually 2/3 Of It Was Covered By Grants And Scholarships. (The $18,000 Covers Everything From Dorm To Books To Spending Money, Etc.)
The Ride Back Was Slower That A Turtle In A Coma. Traffic Was Backed Up For Miles. We Ended Up Going Through Oak Hill To Get Home....They Could Just Dropped Me Off At The House....LOL

Oooo....DNA....Ooops I Broke It....

2009-10-29T14:18:00.000-07:00

Instead Of Extracting DNA From The Parts Off Of Neutered Pets, We Just Extracted The DNA From Wheat Germ. We Were Supposed To Put Dish Washing Soap And Wheat Germ And Alcohol In A Test Tube. My Group Used The Soap, Germ, Salt, Meat Tenderizer, And Ethanol. Did We Get DNA? Yes!! But We Couldn't Get It Out Because I Broke The Strands Apart Because I Had So Much Other Stuff In Tube To Help The Cell Release The DNA. Oh Well....

Then, I Went To Get My Tires Aligned. Hibriten's Math Teacher Was In There. She's A Mean Ol' Bitty. Then Betty Norman Came In And So I Had Someone To Talk To. The Peeps At Alray Only Charged My $45.00 Plus, They Clean My Seat Where They Got Grease In It The Past 2 Times I Went There.

Not Really Sure What To Title...

2009-10-28T20:22:00.000-07:00

Today Has Been A Blah Day Because Of CECHS Normal Drama, A Bad Math Homework Grade (Because Of My Stupidity. I Corrected The Entire Thing In 5min.), And Well....I Don't Have A 3rd Thing....Today's Been OK Though....

Tomorrow In Lab, We'll Be Extracting DNA From Either Wheat Germ Or Dog Testicles...Yes...I Did Say Dog Testicles....I Would Much Rather Extract DNA From The Slightly Less Gross Wheat Germ. I Already Know How So It Should Be Fairly Easy Tomorrow.

The Blackberry Storm2 Came Out Today!! No, I Probably Won't Get It But I Just Thought That I'd Let Everyone Know. (It's The Same Thing As The Storm1 Except The Storm2 Has WiFi....)

It's Getting Closer To Christmas!!! Just To Get Y'all Ready...

Today We Just Took Our 2nd Bio-111 Test. Let's Just Say It Was Extremely Difficult!!! It's Not That We Didn't Know The Stuff. It's Just That Their Is So Much That Is Similar. One Of My Friends Just Txted Me And He Had Got A 60%. I Got A Little Worried. I Ended Up Making An 88%. Am I Completely Devestated? No. But I Really Thought That I Had Done Better. Oh Well....

I Had To Make A Old-Timey Wanted Poster For US History. Al We Had To Do Was Find Something On The Page About The Reconstruction After The Civil War. I Picked Scalawags. It Was Odd Making A Poster About That....

You Know The 12 Days Of Christmas Song? Well Some Guy Wrote "The 12 Days After Christmas." It's Really Cool. Have Look And A Hear....

The Lyrics:
The Twelve Days After Christmas
(Frederick Silver)
(Not sung to the same tune as the other song!)

The first day after Christmas, my true love and I had a fight.
And so I chopped the pear tree down and burned it just for spite.
Then, with a single cartridge, I shot that blasted partridge,
That my true love, my true love gave to me.

The second day after Christmas, I pulled on the old rubber gloves
And very gently wrung the necks of both the turtle doves,
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.

The third day after Christmas, my mother caught the croup;
I had to use the three French hens to make some chicken soup.

The four calling birds were a big mistake,
For their language was obsence .

The five gold rings were completely fake
And they turned my fingers green.

The sixth day after Christmas, the six laying geese wouldn't lay:
I gave the whole darn gaggle to the ASPCA.

On the seventh day what a mess I found:
All seven of the swimming swans had drowned,
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.

The eighth day after Christmas, before they could suspect,
I bundled up the . . .
Eight maids a-milking,
Nine pipers piping,
Ten ladies dancing,
'Leven lords a-leaping,
Twelve drummers drumming

(spoken) Well, actually I kept one of the drummers(girls)
Well, actually I kept one of the maids a-milking(boys)
And sent them back collect.

I wrote my true love, "We are through, love"
And I said in so many words,
"Furthermore your Christmas gifts were for the birds!"
(echo of "four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree."

Shopping Spree...

2009-10-24T12:51:00.000-07:00

I Went To Hickory Today Because I Needed To Do Some Shopping For The Autumn/Winter Seasons. Let's Just Say I Did Really Well. Just In Case You Don't Know, I Buy Expensive Clothes. I Know Gasp!! But I Was Smart Today And I Used My Membership Stuff And Coupons At All Of The Places That I Usually Shop. Then, After I Spent My Life Savings And Took Out A 2nd Mortgage, I Went To BestBuy And Other Random Places To Just Wish And Dream. When I Went To BestBuy, I Looked At The New iMacs. No I Don't Necessarily Want One But It Was Amazing. I Love The Giant Screen And The Accessibility Features For The Visually Impaired. The People At Apple Really Put A Lot Of Thought Into What People Need And Want In A Computer. Microsoft (Windows 7) Is Dumb. It's Been The Same Since Windows 95. They've Just Made It Prettier. Don't Buy Windows 7.

I Went To Officemax To Waste More Time. It Was Like The Retirement Home Left Their Doors Open Last Night. Their Were So Many Old People. Most Of Them Were At The Ink Cartridges.

For Those Of You Who Don't Know. Chad And Nikki (Our Youth Pastor And His Wife) Just Had A Baby Today. They Also Lost Her An Hour Later. Johanna (The Baby) Had Trisomy 18. "Normal" Humans Have 23 Pairs Of Chromosomes. (For A Total Of 46.) When Someone Has Trisomy 18, They Have 22 Pairs Of Chromosomes. Plus, On The 18th Chromosome, (Instead Of Having A Pair) They Have A Triplet. (For A Total Of 47.) This Is Called Edward's Syndrome.When A Baby Has Edward's Syndrome, It Has Very Fatal Physical Defects Such As Heart Problems, Limb Defects, And Underdevelopment In The Womb.(Similar But Worse To Down's Syndrome.)

Do You Like Mayo?

2009-10-22T17:19:00.000-07:00

I'll Explain The Title Later.
I Had A HUGE Homework Assignment From My High School Biology Teacher. We Have A College Bio Test On Monday. Tomorrow, Some People Are Taking The Accuplacer And Others (Who Have Already Passed It. Like Me) Are Watching Movies. I Thought That We Could Do Something More Productive. So,Abbie Watson And I Made The Motion To Have A Biology Review Time Tomorrow. We All Need It And It Would Be A Better Use Of Time Than A Movie About The History Of Halloween. Ms. Green (The HS Bio Teacher) Gave Everyone This Packet Of Worksheets That Are All About What's Gonna Be On The Test On Monday. It Was So Difficult. I Worked On It Ever Since I Got Home Until About 5:30 (When I Went To Wal-Mart). I Finished It When I Got Back.

I Went To Wal-Mart To Get A SubWay Sandwich And To Pick Up My Vitamins. When I Got There I Remembered My Contacts That I Ordered Came In. I Pick Them Up And Got My Vitamins. Now, Onto The SubWay.....
When I Got To SubWay, I Got Helped By This Smart-Alec Sub-Maker. Last Time He Drowned My Sub In Mayo. I Like Mayo On My Sandwich. Not Bread Under Mayo Mountain. I Told Him That If He Did I That This Time, That I Wasn't Going To Buy It. He'd Make Me Another One. His Tone Changed And He Started Being Nice. My Sammy Was Mui Perfecto!!
Sometimes People Just Need To Be Whipped Back Into Shape.
