The Tsunami Bowl

Hey! It's been a long time since I typed an entry, so sorry about that. Guess what? I'm going to Seward, AK for the National Ocean Science Bowl (or Tsunami Bowl)! Yay! It's a competition between teams from everywhere in Alaska. For one part, your team has to write a big paper about a topic, which you then submit. This year's topic was about thinning sea ice, but we wrote ours about melting glaciers and their effects instead. Then, in Seward, each team has to give a presentation, and then you go off and compete with everybody by answering ocean-related questions.

WARNING: the rest of this entry is pretty much me complaining about the timing of the Bowl. I just really wanted to type this down and complain, but I'm still really excited to go to Seward.

So this is all cool and dandy, but the timing is terrible. Here's a list of other things that happen the exact same weekend:
- The Superbowl. (I'm not really a fan or anything, but this is an event for which my family gathers and has fun)
- My Dad's birthday. (Bummer not to be there)
- The only time the ACT is given in the town in which I live. (So I guess I just have to take it next year)
- The only time Avatar will be in this town. (If you don't live here, you've probably already seen it)
And as for school work, I have a vocabulary test with a million words (more like 100, but that's still a lot), an essay to write in 40 minutes (it's practice for a test, but it's graded), and a math test (which I either have to take early, on the plane, or during the Superbowl). Eesh.

Okay. I'm all good now. Despite all this I am looking forward to the trip and I really hope that the weather is nice and that I don't get carsick. That's all for now. Maybe next time I will type about a dream I had, cause I had a really weird one about the Caribbean, dancing, and werewolves. Goodbye y'all! (southerness. Hehehehe)

Say What?

So I was thinking I should type another post, since I haven't for awhile, and I came up with this brilliant idea. Yesterday, while we went over notes in class, I wrote a whole bunch of randomness and my idea is that I will post it. If it makes no sense whatsoever, do not be afraid. That's how it's supposed to be. So here goes:

They said that is was once was and that fish ate worms. Therefore, the complexity of hair is was, and was is that which can be. In the case that was is that which can be, is could pertain to a certain degree of correctness which we find in all apples.

To put this more simply, the third dimension is dynamically flawed in its vegetables, which should have been pies. But then again, pies are the substance of mixing and blending. Currently, however, pies were changed to turkey's of shell. If there was to be a gravity surging, as the current ways of that law are unstable and universally challenged, the result might be a bending of this reality of is. If is becomes bent, then was could quite possibly develop into were and were into not.

In terms of oranges, books do not comply. There once was a folder that fell off a bridge of pebbles into a river of system. Prices inconveniently encountered this problem, but they widened into rips in fabric. The fabric, composed of nationalism and eyebrows, was and came to be involuntary mountains. During this point in time, the rock of tables and water mysteriously disappeared into the great abyss of disruption.

If your IQ dropped, that's okay.

I stole this tag from netsiK. Hope she doesn't mind! XD

Fairbanks!

Yes, I am in Fairbanks, AK. I'm here visiting my sista who is in college. Right now we, well, my sis, is trying to figure out mom's new phone. Um...Yeah. I really like the radio up here because it's nice. Ha. No really, they have a good Christian station. I'm pretty sure they have a Christian rock station too, because while we were searching channels we came across Thousand Foot Krutch (an awesome band).

So, we left Psg alright but when we got to Juneau we had to wait on the tarmac for at least 20 minutes for some other plane that was coming in. So we were 20 minutes late to Anchorage and we caught our flight just in time. We literally had 7 minutes before they disconnected the loading thing. The weather in Anchorage was really winding so it was a tough and exciting landing, but the pilot did a good job, methinks. (if you don't know, I like mild turbulence, landing, and taking off) Then we had slight turbulence most of the way to Fairbanks and we sat two rows away from a crying baby, but oh well.

If all goes perfect, where's the story? Anyway, because of the delay and our quick catch of the plane out of Anchorage, the bags we had didn't arrive. So we had to go pick them up later. Luckily, everything is accounted for. Right. Well, I don't know when I'll blog next, so...see ya! (not literally) Bye.

Yeah

I was thinking, "Hey, I haven't posted anything for awhile," so I posted this. And now I'll type some freakishly random story. Let's see...

On October 15, 2009 there was a peanut. This particular peanut was in a package on an airplane flying to Anchorage, Alaska. From the plant to the processors to the package and to the plane had been all the peanut's life. He knew he was raised just to feed hungry people on their flight. But on this day it was not so.

As his package was passed to passenger number 38 and ripped open, the door of the airplane failed. Right as he was pulled out of the package between a finely manicured thumb and forefinger, the door popped off and the pressure fell. Passengers screamed and number 38 let go of the peanut, which flew out the door.

He gained speed as he fell toward earth, accelerating at exactly 9.8 m/s*s. When he finally hit the ground, past the canopy of the forest, and into the moist ground, he left a small, a very small, crater. As he laid there on the ground wondering, "What now?", a porcupine came wondering by and ate the peanut. I would go on to explained what happened afterward, but that would just be gross. Needless to say, the peanut ended up back in the earth.

The end.

Pictue Day!

The title sounds really happy but it isn't. Picture day is almost the worst day of school. Either you forget completely about it or you remember and your hair is like O_o. Then, of course, it's been pouring down rain since last night which only makes walking to school all the more miserable. Actually, I enjoy walking to school anyway, but it sounded like a well put sentence that went with my topic.

Then they always tell you to smile big and you come out looking really cheesy. I'm listening to happy music though so...yeah. That's all because I just remembered I had a question to finish on my physics lab. Bye!

Tess

RRRRRRR. So for AP English I had to read three books over the summer, one of which was Tess of the d'Ubervilles. It was the most difficult to read and what's more, it was rather boring except one part in the end. Anyway, I had to write an essay on whether Tess was an innocent victim of a cruel society or a foolish wimp. I sided with the "Tess is a foolish wimp" part.

When I asked my teacher which side of the argument most people took, she said most of them did not like Tess. It's really a depressing and sad story, but Tess is just a frustrating person.

SPOILER ALERT.
If you, for some reason unknown to me, decide to read this book, discontinue the reading of this entry.

The book was really boring until Tess killed Alec d'Uberville towards the end. That was when it got interesting. At least, for that short bit. Then she just ran off with Angel Clare (her neglectful husband) and then they were caught by the police and she was hanged. Anyway, I really didn't like Tess. You would understand if you read my book. *sigh* I just had to fume for a bit. Well, I guess I should get back to homework. That's all for now. Bye!
