Oh, no!

Has it really been almost a month since I last updated??? So much has happened since then.

Let's see...

First, I'm published when writing about this blog on the Post Standard Teen Voices page: blog.syracuse.com/voices/

Also, I've been published at jdrampage.com - the new website for my school's online-only newspaper.

AP World History is going better now - I just got a 99 on my last quiz! I studied very very hard, and I know that it finally paid off. Yay!

I'm so sorry that I have not had a chance to check in more often. I'm doing a lot of leadership in the 5 clubs that I'm in, so it gets tough sometimes. I have a bit of homework that needs to get done all of the time, but it's worth it in the end.

My next post will be about something very special. I'd like to give a hint: tomorrow is Blog Action Day 2009 and the topic is climate change! :) I'm excited about that!

So, the Kanye West/Beyonce/Taylor Swift thing was crazy, huh? I cannot believe that Kanye would do something like that to ruin someone else's shining moment. How ignorant and self-centered can you get? Opinions?

And finally, when writing my blogging article, I noticed that another kid from my school blogs - Derek Horn. I don't know him, but his blog is really amusing, creative, and refreshingly sarcastic. Please check it out at derekhorn.blogspot.com.

Well, that's it for now. See you extra soon!

One week into school...

Hello world, again!

Hope you're all doing well. I was asked to write about keeping a blog for Voices, so I'm going to do that as soon as I finish this post!

So, we're one week into school now, and I'm a little booked with homework right now, so I figured I'd take a blogging break. I'm taking all Honors, one AP, and journalism and band. I'm happy that I can take personal fitness (i.e. go to the fitness center) for gym this year, because otherwise, gym+me=struggle! I've had all of my classes except for gym as of now, and I love my teachers! I seem to have a lot more work than last year, but I'm figuring things out as I go along.

Currently, I'm 29 pages into reading and annotating "Peter Pan", and 2 1/2 pages into my AP World homework. I've still got to write several other 400 word essays and such as well. Wow!

I just wanted to check in with the blog while I had the few minutes to do so!

PS - My brother was channel surfing and saw this on PBS Kids! I wish that I had this show when I was little! Adorably hip!

Videos, etc.

I hope the videos that I posted earlier were remotely day-brightening or amusing. They were fun to watch for me!!!

Well, I went to a party and enjoyed it today; it was good clean fun, with parents around and lots of music, joking, and sweets. Sometimes those things, with friends, are all I need to stay sane.

I'm enjoying a late night of "work": printing directions for college tours, and working on items for MyLife24-7 and Junior Pro Art, a music group I belong to.

Going to finish that up now! Talk to you soon!
