snow hey day

I've already received many Op-Ed essays via email. If you were going to print a copy, bring it on Monday. Sorry that I didn't get through all of the conferences that I would have liked because of the snow days.

You are all very prepared for the Test over 1984. It's not much different from the quizzes which you have shown steady improvement on. Hopefully, we will be back to school on Monday and get that over with so we can move on.

Tuesday I would like to go over the first three chapters of Johnny. You've had the books, but if someone left them at school they will be able to get caught up Monday night.

Freaking Out!!!!!

In my haste to leave school on tuesday i forgot my 1984 book, now i am freaked that i won't do good on the test tommorow cause all of my reading logs were inside it, I'm hoping for the best and maybe this test wont be so brutal

Mandatory snow days....?

It is just amazing how much stuff I've gotten done today and yesterday!! It seems to be a trend of mine; finding nothing to do on a snow day but the work I need to get done. It's not all a bad thing, considering that this time I literally couldn't get out my driveway to go do stuff with friends (which I was not pleased about). I sat down and got my Op-Ed done yesterday and began on assembling my portfolio today! To me, it seems like when I've not pressured to do anything during the day, I get alot done! Having a mandatory snow day every week doesn't seem like that bad of an idea to me. Along with my work, I still had time to play with my dog, find some new shoes online, and make brownies (snow days rock!) :]

How About That Op-Ed?

So Ms. K what happens about our Op-Ed when we haven't gotten it back from you yet or even had our conference? What do we do? :/
I'm kind of freaking out!

Oh summer, how I miss you!!

So wednsday started out normal enough. Slept in, had some great coffee, worked on my essay, and then my dad decided that we needed to go to town to check the stove in his office. We got all the way down our driveway and half way to the next road when we got stuck. The road was drifted shut!! We had taken the truck because we knew it would be bad but we didn't think it was THAT bad. So we got the truck stuck...we tried unstick and when that failed we walked home. It was like a 2 mile walk which wouldn't have been so bad if the snow hadn't been up to our knees the whole time! Then the real fun started! My dad decided that we needed to go back to get the truck. So what did we do? We hooked two sleds up to the snowblower and drove down the road snowblowing a path. Needless to say my brother and I had the best time ever riding down the road on sleds behind a tractor/snowblower. Here's your sign right??
Half way down the road we see something moving towards us. We had no clue what it was so we just kept going. As we got closer we realized that it was a person. When we got up next to them we realized that it was my very good friend Jasmine. She had walked half way to my house in the crazy weather!!! So she jumped on the sleds with my brother and I and rode back down to the truck. We started to dig the truck out and Dad was blowing a path around to try and see if we could at least turn around. By the time we finally got the truck unburied the road had drifted shut behind us!!! So what did we do?? Well I jumped in the driver seat and dad got the tractor in front of the truck and gave us a little bump so that we could over the hump behind us and get the wheels straight. Then I followed Dad who was snowblowing a path backwards all the way home at 2 miles an hour. Pretty intense huh?? All that before noon! Snowdays ROCK!!!
