High School!

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of posts. In two days, it'll be high school! *gasp* A new school, brand new teachers, new students, high school.

Anyways, I'm still working on my summer reading assignment: reading a book called Silas Marner and writing an essay on the light and dark imagery it contains and how it develops the theme, mood and characters, and reading Great Expectations and taking notes on the theme, characters, plot, and literary devices. *sigh* Still working.

That's it for now! I'll try to post more often, but high school will be very busy!

Book Chat: Palace of Mirrors

Hey everyone! Recently, I went to this special eye doctor place and the waiting was terrible. My dad and I spent around three hours waiting just to see the doctor. To make the most of my time, I started reading one of the books my sister checked out from the library, which is called Palace of Mirrors by Margaret Peterson Haddix, who also wrote Double Identity.

Palace of Mirrors is about a girl named Cecelia, who is secretly a princess, but is pretending to be a poor farm girl. The royal family is in danger and the evil forces already killed her mother and father. The princess on the throne is actually just a decoy. Cecelia, along with her best friend Harper travel to the capital so Cecelia can claim the throne. However, everything is not what it seems and the tale of twists and adventure begins. I really enjoyed this book and it was a very easy read. =]

Seven Days Left of School!

Hey everyone!

Well, there are exactly seven days left of school. (not including weekends) And, you would think that we wouldn't really do anything since school is almost over, but we're having a TON of work. I'm sick right now and tomorrow will be my first day back...and I have a lot of work to make up. That includes an entire novel, a Social Studies project and taking two tests. Wonderful, isn't it? I'm so stressed.

Anyways, I'm so excited for summer vacation and for the stress to just be lifted off of my shoulders. I can't wait. =]

My Favorite Movie Ever: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

Hey everyone, in case you didn't know, I hate fairytales because their endings are so fake. Fairy godmothers and handsome princes don't exist in real life. The only Disney fairytale I like is Mulan because she's strong and courageous and she can do anything. =]



Anyways, today I'm posting about my favorite movie, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. For anyone that hasn't seen it, you HAVE to watch it! It takes place in olden day China and there's a lot of cool fighting and flying. However, the story goes deeper and leaves you in awe. Be prepared to start the waterworks! That's all I'm going to say, but watch the movie!

Trip to Gettysburg

Hey everyone. =]

On Monday, I went to Gettysburg! It was a school field trip. We stayed overnight overnight and came back on Tuesday. While we were there, we’re went to All Stars, which is pretty much a fun sports place and also went on some tour of Gettysburg. In my opinion, we’re basically just hung out at Gettysburg, and didn't actually learn anything, but that’s okay with me. =]

The first day, Monday, we watched this movie at the Visitor's Center and then went to All Stars. At All Stars, I went on the Go-Carts like a billion times. They are the BEST. Later, we went to the hotel and got settled into our rooms. Then, my friend Lydia had a fever, which was really bad. Well, after that, we watched Paul Blart: Mall Cop, instead of going on the Ghost Tour. Lydia had to go home and we had to switch rooms because they didn't want us getting sick too. The next day, we went on this really boring bus tour. Overall, the trip to Gettysburg was pretty fun. =]

One last thing. You know how they made us switch hotel rooms because they didn't want us to get sick? Well, guess what. I'm currently sick...and I took the Geometry Final with a fever. That's it for now, byeeeeee.
