Vandalism? Or Awesomeness?

Ok, due to the title you be thinking, "Oh crap it's another vandalism rant!" Well sort of, and I apologize. But honestly, no one should consider this vandalism:
GODZILLA!!

So how amazing is that?! Someone managed to graph Godzilla, a Sky scraper, and an Airplane –– on a freaking calculator!!!!!!!!! How talented is that??!!!!!! One heck of a way to spend a math class too. The story behind it all is basically a student took my math teacher's calculator, and spent the entire class doing this. Talented . . . I think yes!

So the olympics, eh? Wow, Canadian moment right there! But I mean hey, they've been doing pretty well this year!! Of course so has Russia, must be their home turf and all. However I still stand strong in my belief that Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands, or America will pull through!! So far the dutch men have one 8/9 gold medals for skating. Or so I've been informed.

Ok, so right now, I'm like soo bored! Which seems to be true of me every time I'm writing this. In my defense I normally write this when I have spare time, or I'm bored with whatever I'm doing. So today's boredom class, well not really a class, but SCIENCE FAIR!!! So basically I've already been judged, already been graded, and I still have to sit here another hour. Oh well, hey look! People I actually know! Well I will write more later.

Hey all! It's me again! So anyhow what happened was yesterday I had the Science Fair and started writing my blog, but never finished it. You may think, "Uh it can be however long you want it to be" if you thought, ha! You're wrong!! I have a requirement of 300-500 words. Annoying, but I get by.

Anyhow, just finished an Odyssey test!! How fun is that right? I did pretty well, not as well as I had hoped however. I really want to know what I got wrong, plus my computer wasn't working. Thus if there were an additional few questions, I may have missed them. Me being me though, I didn't complain about it not working. So now I have a mediocre score. Oh well.

Sorry, really boring post so far. But what can I say? If I typed everything that came to mind, oh boy! That would not end well!! And no, I'm not going to give an example, that would totally undermine my point!

So anyone out there from the east coast? I hear you guys actually got snow!! Congratulations!!!! 14-16 inches right? Even some sleet/hail/snow in Georgia! Mission accomplished! Poor Florida though, still about 78ยบ F. Maybe someday.

Well bye all!!

Up Coming Events

Anyone excited for the winter olympics coming up? Or how about the Super Bowl? Anyone up for World Cup Soccer?

To all of those Football loving Americans, the Super Bowl is on Sunday! As you should know- which I didn't and ended up asking a friend. The result being making a total fool of myself!! So anyhow, the game that will be commencing is Seahawks vs Broncos at 6:30 pm. And according to this website, we have 2 days, 1 hour, 2 minutes, and 20 seconds until kickoff. Of course the time is ticking down as I type this.
Go Broncos!

The Olympics of 2014 are being held in Sochi Russia to any of those who didn't know. They begin on February 7, 2014. And this year Nordic Ski Jumping for women is finally being introduced! One of my previous teacher's daughter is competing! She will be among some of the first to ever ski jump in the olympics as a woman!

Nordic Ski Jumping is quite the sport. Hurtling down an angled track to end up flying straight off a jump! You go flying through the air, sailing quite a few feet if you get enough momentum! How would I know this? In the past as a part of the P.E program, my grade got to experience this wonderful sport. You feel as if you're flying! Of course you have to stick the landing. If you don't, yard-sale!!!!!

World Cup this summer! Anyone going to Brazil? I have a few friends who are, and I'm so jealous! I guess I have a little token for the match however; the T.V and a model of the new Brazuca soccer ball. Well it's not mine per say, my sister's really. But hey, I can borrow it on the occasion...right?

Germany looks like they will do pretty well this year, they have new players that are really pulling the team together. I personally will continue to root for the Netherlands. Brazil and Spain of course are doing well.

January 31st, at last! January just seems to drag on and on! In my opinion it is the longest month of the year. There are no deadlines in January, New year has passed, and everyone is just trying to get their feet under them. All of my teachers seem to want to repeat the same lesson, over and over again. Well good news is Winter Break is coming up! A time to relax, ski, and forget about school. Just two more weeks away. Unfortunately, Science Fair is just around the corner. Needless to say, I still have a ton of work to do.
