Today was the day of our algebra quiz. It was remotely easy, until I reached the last two problems. "huh?" I thought to myself. "This makes no sense whatsoever.. this number subtracted by this number can't possibly equal to this number!" A little aggravated, I decided to redo the whole problem- only to come out with the same result, no answer. And so, I decided to do some more possible tries, my handwriting growing steadily darker and accented as the grip on my pencil tighted. "Was it possible that the teacher made a mistake?" Nooo... if I asked her that this problem was 'unsolveable' she would classify me into one of students that fail to pay attention! I couldn't allow that to happen- though it probably already has... ^_^ Finding that any more work was useless after more hard core scribbling, I decided to just... guess. It was quite obvious that if there was a possible answer to these two equations, then I wasn't paying attention in class when the teacher was teaching it to us. I found that a bit hard to believe since I was actually paying attention in class the day before. Shrugging my shoulders and putting on a "whatever." face, I put my two best guesses down, and turned in the quiz paper. Going back to my desk, I took out my world geography flash cards and began to study the countries and capitals of the world. The thoughts "Why do I even bother?" and "I'm going to fail anyway.." kept drifting across my mind making my memorization a little difficult. The silence was broken in the class when a girl in the front seat decided to loudly announce that the last two problems on the quiz simply did not make sense. The teacher smiled and went to the board. She ripped off a sheet of paper she had covered, and lo and behold! Two problems that were the correct ones were written there. A loud murmur of "huh?" and "what?" went through the classroom. The teacher simply smiled a smile that somehow annoyed me and says,"No one came up to me and asked about it. So I assumed nothing was wrong." A couple seconds of silence. A voice breaks out,"So since I told you that those two problems don't make sense, do I get extra credit?" Smiling that extremely irrating smile of hers, the teacher nods her head and writes 'plus 5 pts' on her quiz paper. An angel and a devil pop up on either side of my shoulders. "How unfair! You need to make a complaint about this!" A devil me says while waving her pitchfork wildly in the air. "Certainly not!" The angel me clasps her hands together as if in prayer. "It was your own fault for not going to the teacher!" Shaking my head in disbelief, I hit my head several times on my desk. Today was simply not my day.

So, i cleaned everything up... and played piano ( HA! only CHOICE SONGS!!) and then we went out for lunch...

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 ...
