Just took a bunch of bird gifs from I Can Has Cheezburger and put them all together here.








LOL. Troll bird!





Haha. He's Disappointed.






I'll be adding more as I find them. (:

Pug Gifs

I personally really love pugs.  They're little squished up faces are just adorable.  So I just had to share these. (:








I'll be adding more as I find them. (:

Personal Essay Speech

Uggh.

That is all I can say.

I presented my personal essay today.

I sucked.

I mean, I got a B, but I felt terrible while doing it.

I wanted to be super prepared, so I wrote notecards on what I was going to say.

And then I just stared at them the entire time.

So that was the first and last time I'll ever do that.  I do better when I just wing it anyways.

At the end, everyone writes on a little piece of paper what they think you did well, and what you could improve.

The things that everyone wrote didn't help me at all.

If anything, they just confused me more.

Some people said I had good posture, some said to work on it.

Some said confident and prepared, others said be more prepared.

Half said talking at a good pace, the others either said slow down, or speed up.

I couldn't please anyone.

In the end, the only thing most of them agreed on was to look up from my notecards more.

But I could have told them that myself.

Uggh.

How I felt about this yesterday.

Chillin' With Tiberius

Just trying to get some homework done.

But Tiberius has been hanging out with me.  It's hard to concentrate with him being so adorable.

So we had a mini-photoshoot.

He's just such a cutie! (:









That's all for today! (:






Personal Speech Tomorrow!

I have to give a speech tomorrow.

I'm really nervous.

We had to write an essay about an event that changed us and/or our life.

I wrote about moving.  My family actually just moved to where we live now about a month ago.  It was the first time I've moved in my entire life, so it was a big deal.  Leaving everyone and everything I knew was not easy. So at least my topic should be pretty good.

I'm actually not all that bad at speaking in front of a class.  Usually.  I haven't had to since we moved.  I started thinking that maybe I was just really good at public speaking before because I had literally grown up with the entire school.  I felt like I knew everyone.  Even though there were over 2,000 students.

At my new school, I barely even know the the names of the kids who sit around me.

So I'll be far from comfortable.

I guess I just need to really practice and hope for the best.

Wish me luck!

Plagiarism

Some kids in my class got busted for plagiarizing last week.

I just thought that it was funny how everyone copied the answers from the same website.

My teacher said that the only reason she looked into the possiblitly of them cheating was that they all wrote the same strange word.

Water ship.

I guess they were trying to be finsihed so fast that they didn't stop and think for a second that it would be better to just say boat.

The words themselves almost made me laugh out loud, but everyone seemed really serious, so I held back

They probably knew they'd been caught.

Luckily, I copied from a different site.

Just kidding! Got you for a second, right?

I actually finished during class when my teacher was giving some "possible answers out".

I heard "perfect answers" and wrote them all down.

No homework for me that weekend!

My teacher in 7th grade actually thought I had cheated on my essay.  Probably because it was so good.

But that's another story.

So the moral of all this is: DON'T PLAGIARIZE.  Or cheat.


Line & Haiku Poems

Today in English we had to write some poems.

I'm actually pretty proud of mine this time (unlike a few days ago), so I thought I'd share them with you.

Line Poems:

You literally just have to ist a bunch of things.

How To Fly
Lead
Brush
Pick
Saddle
Bridle
Mount
And finally, ride
Fly away

If Only I Could
Sleep in on schools days,
Not have to do chores.
Live forever
And have the key to every door.

That one even rhymes!

Haikus:

The form for them is three lines going:
5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables

Snow
Snowflakes fall slowly
Silently coating the ground
In a white blanket

Rain
It begins to rain
Drops splashing on to the ground
Puddles to jump in

Hope you liked them as much as I do!
