(this is for when i lose my sheet of paper telling me all the instructions) you will create a poster of geographic details. your poster must be 11 by 14 inches. you may use a full size poster board or you may cut it down. if your poster is less than 11 by 14 inches your highest possible grade will be a 75 and then only if it is perfect. your poster is due on monday, oct. 25. using pictures, headlines, and titles, create a collage of things relating to geography. three of the fifteen different things can be created by you. you may use people, places, things, or events. you must have 15 different things on your poster. on the back of the poster you must explain the significance of ten of the things- what does it mean to you? examples: 1.canada-yeah!- i chose this title because i was born here and go visit every summer. 2.picture of eiffel tower- i went to paris this summer on vacation and watching the sunset from here was one of the best views i have ever seen. please look at mrs. mcmahon's example to get ideas and be sure to ask if you have questions. your grade will be determined using the following criteriea: is it colorful? is it neat? is it eye-catching? do the items represent geography? good explanations of the significance of the ten things chosen. time in class to look at pics and magazines. 1/2 period on thurs. suggested sources: newspaper, magazines-time, newsweek, u.s. news and world report, travel & leisure, reader's digest. (yay reader's digest!!!!) do NOT use the internet. (the end)


even though i have entered many many times... this will not show up on the blog. blogs are stupid. superglue is stupid!!!! how dare it not stick when i needed it most!! stupid.. the only thing it sticks to is me!! (mai dropped my project and the stick thingamabobber fell off that block of wood. i was like... "... holy crap, this is bad..." and kim came along to help fix the problem. so we were all trying to get it to stick to that block of wood.. it wasn't very successful. *sigh* so i abandoned it in my locker.. and it was left there all by it's sorry little self until i came back for it after fifth period. then of course, i had to try again. this time, cherilyn was the angel that helped me out... she held it in place for.. the whole period. but that cursed stick wouldn't stick!! what's wrong with it?!!? we were watching a knight's tale in study hall... heath ledger!!!!!!!!!! yep yep...) and then there was orchestra. and while i was playing on the harp, isadore walked over while we were playing with the class and when i looked up to see what he wanted, i lost my spot!! that's never a cool thing... he suprised attacked me!!! and so he stood in between the harps.. and watched us play.. and i was playing nice random notes that didn't sound all too great with what the orchestra was playing... and then i also didn't have my first page to that particular piece we were playing... i think i misplaced it. and of course, he was all correcting me and stuff. and then one more suprise attack after schoool- solo and ensemble.. ensamble? ensemble... whatever. that thing. i have no interest whatsoever.. but somehow i feel like i'm pressured to do it.. again. -_-. and now.. mythology... the ancient greek's morbid stories... no one cares, but i still have to do the stinking review. the time is now ten twenty seven... i should do my homework...

It's been a while guys... and the week certainly has been a busy one. THere's been a lot of junk homework this week, and suddenly, Mrs. Griggs decides to suprise attack us with a bunch of homework assignments. This saturday was totally booked man.i woke up so early to be at niki's house at NINE O CLOCK!!! (crazy early, i know... I even missed my all new yu gi oh shows- but there were doughnuts at her house, so.. it was worth it. ^_^) so from nine to elevenish twentish.. i was at her house rehearsing for the skit tomorrow for FOCUS ( man i need to memorize those lines. ) and then i went home only to be badgered by mum's constant complaining about how i need to practice the piano and that my room was a mess, and that i needed to clean the playroom. So, i cleaned everything up... and played piano ( HA! only CHOICE SONGS!!) and then we went out for lunch... I ordered tapioca with my drink, and when mom saw that, she told me that she had heard that tapioca can cause cancer, ...

I was in the kitchen, my mother washing dishes, and my father emailing a very important person on his laptop. I was sitting, on the chair, drinking orange juice. A very nice, family atmostphere settled in, and we all enjoyed the peace and quiet. Drinking my sweet orange juice, I allowed my eyes to roam about until something sleek and black caught my eye. Catching the movement, I immediately glance down onto the floor to see what it was. Appalled to see it moving, I came upon the realization that this black object was indeed alive, and a scream escaped from within me. It was actually quite funny to see my mother wince horribly at my high pitch and my father suddenly jerk up from his intense email. Both swerved their heads toward me with priceless faces each wondering what the the scream was all about. With a shaking hand, I pointed at the 2 cm. bug (which is actually a lot bigger than most bugs you see nowadays). I saw their faces change from concern to disinterest in less than half a s...

My family and I went out for dinner, except my sister of course who was out with some friends. My mother always did say that she treated the house like a hotel... all she would do is sleep there and eat there. ^_^ So we went out for a nice dinner. We ordered many delicious dishes which were all consumed in a couple of minutes. At the end of dinner I observed that my father's belly was a little larger than usual. Laughing, I whispered loudly to my mother,"Look! Daddy's pregnant!" My mother laughed and said,"Nine months." Turning to my father, I asked him,"Boy or girl?" "Both!" my mother piped in. "How can they be both?" I questioned. "They're twins Daphne..." She shook her head as if I was supposed to understand it. I laughed teasingly at my father and peeked a glance at him. His face was one of his funniest ones. It seemed like he didn't understand what was going on at first, but then as he slowly began to get ...
