Dearest Darling Readers,
Yes, it's June, which means, for many of you, it's time for final exams.
Which completely suck if you go to my school.
We take one little 2-hour test and it counts for 20% of our grade for the entire semester! Does this make any sense at all? We bust our butts all semester working on projects and papers that are 500 times as time-consuming as finals are and yet they count for less? I'm not saying that our finals are ridiculously hard (unless you're in my Spanish class), I'm just saying that they don't make any sense.
I just finished a huge English project where I had to write almost 50 pages about an author. It had many components. One was a 25-40 page journal which counted for 10% of the grade. Another part was a 2-page emulation piece or character story, which counted for 20%. Do you see what I'm trying to say? Teachers seem to have no concept of how much certain assignments should be worth!
I just took a chemistry test on redox reactions where I didn't answer 1/3 of the questions and I still got an A! I'm not complaining that I got an A, I'm just wondering how it was even possible! My teachers' grading systems are corrupt. Just like the NFL.

Ahh, Memories
Dearest Darling Readers,
We've all had those shows that just became a part of our childhood right? Those shows we got up early for before the days of DVR and TiVo? Well, my English class always seems to discuss interesting topics (such as the homework policy, our old English teacher [...], children's book series, movies, music, and whether or not Shakespeare was gay), and one of our most frequented topics is old TV shows. Here's a pretty full list of those mentioned. Add a comment if any of them bring back memories!
-Franklin
-PB&J Otter
-Little Bear
-Pokemon
-Yu-Gi-Oh
-Full House
-Boy Meets World
-Out Of the Box
-The Comfy Couch
-The Powerpuff Girls
-Courage the Cowardly Dog
-Johnny Bravo
-The Flinstones
-The Jetsons
-That's So Raven
-Lizzie McGuire
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH the list goes on forever.
Anyway, I was just taking a trip down memory lane now that BOY MEETS WORLD IS BACK ON TV!!! This is my favorite show in the whole entire world but ABC Family stopped playing it and that was the only channel that aired it because it's such an old show but now IT'S BACK!
Love,
Book

And you thought YOUR friends were weird
Dearest Darling Readers,
HOLY CRAP WE'RE ALIVE!
Yes I realize we hardly ever post, and when we do it's mostly crap. But if you're reading this right now we have officially accomplished something! To the point, if you have never heard of Odyssey of the Mind before, go and google it you shameful person. The fact of the matter is that most school have an Ootm program. Hopefully, a few of you are IN that program. If you aren't, know this, it's the best ever! Or maybe that's just my team personally. ANYWAYS, this year my team rocked OUT LOUD and made it all the way to the world championship in Michigan! WOOO! That was last week-end, and it was truly amazing. (We got in 30th place out of 65 ;) ). At any rate, we had fun. I think to much so. The only boy on our team graciously recorded that funniest and wackiest things we said so each other and to random strangers. Here's a little sample:
1. Ooh hormones! Let me have that
2. I like to prey on small children
3. Ooh, nice pants, if you know what I mean
4. They won't stop horning!
5. It's the mystery machine, no, it's just a hippy van
6. Everything tastes like shampoo
7. I'm going to beat you with a train whistle
8. There were ups, downs, and broadway
9. Strip fowrward, not up
10. (Said standing right next to a kid from Canada) It's a real live Canadian!
11. Forget your boat I'm on a stairwell (reference to song: I'm on a boat)
12. We were going to get Gonhorrea but cylmidia sounded cooler
13. Post traumatic odessy syndrome (Just in general)
14. The horns, their everywhere!
I hope you enjoyed this post. This should give a taste of just how amazing (and insane) our friends are. Feel free to say any of these to YOUR friends and have them wonder were your sanity has gone off to. Have an amazing life!
