Hello there! Today I realized that my beach themed little nook in my bookcase was a bit out-of-season, so of course...I had to update it. Now it has a Percy Jackson/movie theme. Here are some pictures for ya!
Overview...you like it?! I do :D
Owl earrings for annabeth, in a mussel shell I found at the beach (for Percy)
An acorn--Grover--and some silver bangles: Thalia.
Camp Half Blood Necklace (courtesy of Kami)
The rest: Popcorn can and scene/take/roll thing for movies and movie-star sunglasses haha! Oh, and my iPod nano because music is awesome, and it looks cool.
Tell me what you think? I'm really happy with how it turned out!
We have a meeting with our CT tomorrow, to turn in "official work samples" and such. That will be good. Oh, and this is kinda random, but remember the STAR tests? Well, we got the results for my English test and I did good :) Phew!
Best get back to my studies...aka getting together a work sample for Science. And yes, that is actually a picture of my work. My math homework to be exact. Gotta run--
Hello there friends! So, this week has been kinda crazy. Ok, really crazy. It started on Monday...
When we had our Latin poster presentation. Which went well, by the way :) It was a fun project! That day, we got to watch this video after class because, well, it's funny! And Miss Weight is awesome! <3
Isn't this just the cutest thing?!
Then on Tuesday it was school as usual. My eyes were kinda bugging me but my contacts were getting kinda old, no biggie. However, towards the end of the day it was so bad I had to put my glasses on instead. Before dinner? Something is wrong.
On Wednesday I woke up and had a hard time opening my eyes. Yeah, um that would be because they were pretty much swollen shut. When I got to the bathroom to look at what was wrong, well--it was pretty obvious I had pinkeye. (Lovely, I know.)
So basically I felt so crummy overall that day that I got to sit on the couch and read. I also watched this. Watch if you are a HP fan and in need of a laugh!!
Thursday turned up eventually and since the disease was still highly contagious it was an official NO LATIN day :( Which stinks even more because Miss W said it was going to be a fun lesson!! Ah well, some schoolwork got done but not much, I still felt pretty bad.
Friday I felt much better! Yay! That's about the most exciting thing that happened. Oh, and One Direction (remember them?! haha) had a new song out, which I must have played a million times while I was working on schoolwork. Here, take a listen:
It's love, right here. Love it. Great song. Makes me dance!
As for today...much much better!! I am condemned to wearing glasses till next Wednesday though, which would be ok except my prescription is a little old and fuzzy. My glasses must make their appearance in Latin class on Monday. Prepare yourselves.
Well, that will be all for this week. Hopefully you all are having a good time this school year!! (And for my readers who are related to me, hope you're having a good time in general--love you!)
Hey, my buddies! Yesterday, of course, was Latin...we started our vocab posters and my group's poster is ah-mazing so far I must say ;) Just kidding, we haven't made it colorful and fabulous yet, but it has great potential!
My group: One of my really good friends, we'll call her Bonita, Deco haha, and Grant. There was much laughter and a surprising amount of work that got done! We're gonna do great, I know it.
So that's just our Vocab Clouds, where we each have a Latin word (mine is creo, creare-to create or make) and have related Latin words and derivatives from the words that we use. There must be 40+ words on the poster and awesome drawings that go with them. It's a fun project, and the best part is that is entirely IN CLASS, meaning no homework!! Woohoo!!
School at home is pretty normal, just doing vocab for history and English, reading things, doing math stuff. I think when I started I thought there would be a ton of stuff to blog about but it mostly is just routine. One of my history projects is a scrapbook of my D.C. trip, which is fun to work on. Pictures of that will be up when it is finished, sometime around the end of this month.
I think that's all for now, thanks for reading! Love you and...
