Je ne crois pas que ce année était trop vite; il semble toujours comme le moyen de l’année, pas le fin! Mais je ne peux pas attendre pour l’étè! I have less than one week of school left. Ah! This year went by so fast- well, the end of the year did. It seemed like [...]
The sky is gray and the trees are bare. The grass looks cold and snow lingers in patches on the ground. But the weather has been getting warmer which gives me hope. And after all didn’t the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil predict an early spring? Actually last Sunday the weather was lovely. It was sunny and warm- [...]
Here’s my post regarding Sue Water’s blogging challenge and this is my second year participating in her annual challenge. I’ve decided to post about how blogging has enabled me to connect to a global audience. I started my blog in early March of 2009. I did not really have much idea of what I’d be [...]
It’s tough narrowing down all the great blogs out there but some of them really do stand out. I think the best student blog is Abbey’s blog Jazzing Up Eighth Grade. I’ve liked her blog ever since she started it; she’s an excellent writer and her posts are always interesting. She also maintains her blog [...]
Today I was looking at my email inbox and I came across an email notice for a pingback about my post “Freedom Writers”. I did not really know why someone would be linking to my posts (other than Miss W. with challenge posts) so I followed the link. I found a post about the Freedom [...]
One element of challenge 6, which I have chosen to do, is to write about a typical school day. I started high school this year, I’m a freshman, and I LOVE it!!! It’s so fun (although very demanding academically). My school has seven periods per school day (including lunch) and seven different classes. Therefore we [...]
I’m sorry about this being a day or so late- I was very busy with school and Halloween! For challenge 5 there are many different posting options, all somehow incorporating images. I decided to write a story based on the picture below which was chosen by Miss W. Mishka padded silently through the grass, her keen [...]
I’m in a state of distress; I visited my blog today and much to my dismay all of my widgets that are media related (Voki, Bunny Hero Labs pet ‘Merlin’, weather widget, etc..) aren’t showing up! What’s happening? They were just visible and working a few days ago… EDIT (10/14): MY WIDGETS ARE WORKING AGAIN!! [...]

I officially have a new Broadway musical obsession. Evita (the movie soundtrack though) has so far been my longest obsession, with Wicked coming up as a close second; I literally listen to both of these albums on my laptop all the time. They just never grow old. Another Broadway favorite is the Lion King, I [...]
