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!!!

OK SO....

All this time (:

I was happy to hear we had a snow day wednsday. I planned to work on my Op-Ed so I started on my final draft then I got distracted, and it was done poorly. But I did study for 1984. Then, I found we had a snow day for thursday too, I was so relieved. Now, I really can work on my final Op-Ed draft, and put much needed time into it. I can also look over, and review some more 1984. I love what all this time allows me to do.


P.s. This was in the draft section, it was supposed to be posten on the on the 3rd =/

Opec-essay

Okay, so.....yeah.
How is everyone else's op-ed essay turning out?
Mine is in a mix between lackluster and craptastic.  I could really use a snow day or two!...wait....OH SNAP!  I'm putting the time into it, but the results always turn rash.
In other news, how is the test going to be?  I'm glad I didn't study or do homework AT ALL!  That way I can put all my effort into thrusday.  But seriously, do you guys think the theme idea is going to be hard?

Buried Alive

I got my mom's Suburban stuck in our driveway. I wanted to get some butter to make some chocolate chip cookies so i grabbed her car. There's no way my G-6 would have made it out alive, so I figured 4-wheel drive would be a good idea. The driveway was drifted with about 2-3 feet of snow and it was no problem, until I got to the end of the driveway. Unknown to me, the end of the driveway was drifted with about 4 feet of snow and the Suburban got really stuck. I put it from auto-4 to 4 high and nothing. So I put it in neutral and switched to 4 low. Still nothing. I decided to walk back to the house, but I couldn't open the door to the car. I started freaking out until I realized that if I pushed on the door hard enough, the snow piled up behind it would move. Eventually, Christopher came over and I was going to go to his house. He had a tug strap in his Jeep so we attached it to the tow hooks on the front of the Suburban. After digging all four tires out and some pulling, the Suburban was freed, but still no butter for my cookies. It's 12:36 am and I'm really tempted to go get some, but it's WAY too cold outside!

I'm working on my Op-Ed essay and I'm worried that it's not going to be good enough. I'm putting so much work into it, but it's still not going to be good enough...
