S is for School... Still

Again.  It was a nice, long weekend.  I also like school (as you probably know). 

This week was the last week for Junior Achievement!  (It turns out they were nurses!)

It also turns out that I am starting to enjoy homework.  I'm getting better at journaling (5 pages, no lines skipped) and I always love to read, except when it's a book I didn't choose (like for an assignment).  I guess you could say our teachers don't give very much homework.  Can't wait until High School (love my sarcasm?).

So, I'm reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.  It's so good!  Even though it's about a bijillion pages long and I've been reading it since winter break, it's good.  I think my favorite character is Meg or Marmee because they are such good moms (and wives).  I'm almost done (about 75 more pages!!!).  AND my mom just gave me FOUR chocolates!  How much better could this get?!?  Well, I could think of a few things.  A trip to Whangdoodleland would be pretty cool...

S is for Sick. And Snow. And School. And Scouts.

And Seriously.  I don't wanna be sick anymore.  I don't think my throat can take much more strep.  And I wanta go to school!  I miss it.

Sick sick sick sick.

Doing better.  So on Monday I woke up, breathed in, coughed once, and vomited (thank fully in the toilet), went to the doctor, and slept, and then took a miserable shower, and slept all day and all night.  Some well needed sleep!  20 hours!  My dad said that I played video games in my sleep with him but I think that was his sarcasm coming out.  I'm sure.  Right?!  People don't play video games in their sleep!  Or do they?

Snow snow snow snow.

It snowed.  Again.  I really didn't think we'd ever get this much in one year, living in Saint Louis!  We still didn't get to go sledding... ah, the disappointment.  But it's okay.  It snowed, and that in itself is enough for me.  But since it snowed and freezing-rained and sleeted and hailed, we didn't have any

School school school school.

I wouldn't have gone anyway so that's good because it didn't count against my absence.  But darn it, now we have to go to school into June!  My mom probably won't make us go, though.  (Smirk.)

And, to top it off, I sold 135 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.  Yay me!  Last year I sold 160, but I sold less this year because I had to give a lot of my customers to my sister this year.  Still, that's alotta cookies!  Enough for me.

S is Also for School

I really like school.

Especially my school.

It's a Montessori school.

Montessori is a very different style from regular schools.  Every body has different work to do, and they all do it at different times.  The teacher may give a lesson to one person or the whole class.  Everyone works at their own pace.  If something is too easy, you get to move on, even if not everybody is ready.  It is a safe work enviorment where everybody is seen both as an individual and as the same, which is good.  I like that.

Another thing that kinda has to do with school is Girl Scouts.  Well, not really, but I wanna talk (write) about it. 

I love my Girl Scout troop.  Espically my leader.  She is really nice, and has tons of experience.  We get to do a lot of fun things and a lot more of it than some other troops.  Even though there are some certain people in my troop that may not be my absolute favorite people in the whole world, we all get along and everybody, for the most part, has a good time.

This year we are working on our bronze award and we have gotten to do some really fun stuff.  In the spring we will be doing a service project and I am realy looking forward to it

We are also having a camping trip this weekend.  So excited!

(PS: our leader wrote a really good post on her blog [most of my inspiration] about girl scouting...

S is for Snow Day

Today (last night) it snowed.  Not very much, but enough to have a snow day.  We can't go anywhere, though, because my dad took our van to work instead of his tiny Daewoo 'roller skate car.'

Since I really have nothing to do, I think.  Here are some things I'm thinking I'm glad I have.....

My  old-fashioned Smith-Corona typewriter-very handy for type-writing.

Yarn-all the better to knit with, my dear!

Modern day technology-cell phones, computers, electricity, you name it.

A safe, warm house-very good for living in.

Girl Scouts-I love my troop and we always have so much fun.

Friends and Family-Family and Friends

Chocolate!

Such a wonderful God-3 whats, 1 who.

Snow days!
