SNOW!!and school

So it snowed this weekend and started snowing this afternoon. So they released school early. So I got home at 2:30 or so instead of 3:15. Im going to go to the weight room at 4 to work out. Its coming down hard but its not big snowflakes or anything. With wind chill and everything its suppose to be -12 degrees tomorrow. we did the math at school today in english. funny because it was english and we were doing math. but it was to warm up our minds or somthing like that. This week we are going to read The Necklace in English as well as next week because its a short week. anyway, the story is about a lady who borrows a necklace from a friend to impress people at a party shes going to and ends up losing it. I only know this because ive already read it from last year. So my teacher, Mr. Melum(aka Mr. Melon), gave us this paper and told us that we were to write down 5 things that had value to us from most to least. So i was hesitant but wrote down 1. Blessing Dress 2. Journal 3. Scriptures (at this time i coudn't really think of anything else because all the rest i could live without but would still like to have.) 4. Homemade dresses 5. Makeup (to be funny). When Mr. Melum started asking people what they put as number one i noticed that most were things that didn't really in the long run matter. Things like X-box 360s, weight sets, and straightners. I started comparing these things and became very sad for those people who didn't really have anything to value or didn't reconize it. Then there were those that had things that were of sentimental(sp) value to them such as a necklace that contained ashes of a loved one, or pets that were priceless. At the end of all this he said, but there was one person who had something else......(writing on the board next to others) Faith. I never really thought of those things as representing my faith but i guess so because they do have to do with my faith. So it was a good lesson for me. Even though i don't like mr. melum sometimes he does ok in teaching life lessons. Since my last snow update its really coming down now. bigger snowflakes. flurrish.

So as of Monday I have a Facebook so if you want to be my friend leave a comment or look for me on facebook. Its so much fun.
School is going well and all of this week was half-days for conferences. Mom didn't make an appointment and didn't go in during the optional conference time. So she didn't go talk to my teachers but she talked to the rest of the kid's teachers. I didn't really care because I do have all A's and I don't know what she would say to them.
Evening of Excellence is next week and the theme is There's No Place Like Home -Wizard Of OZ-,
we made sparkly shoes and they are so cute!
Today there is no school in honor of Veterans Day. So happy Veterans Day!!
