Assorted things...

Okay, I have reeeeally neglected this thingy.
Now I have ten minutes to spare, so I suppose I can catch up a bit. The bad thing is, whenever I have time I get writer's block.

Izzy, big sister, one who gives me candy and calls me little squishy, and basically spoils me, was jumping around and going "Wheehee! Wheehee! Daddy said yessss!", not two minutes ago, and I can safely assume that it was because she recieved parental permission to go to some concert or other (it's Placebo, so that's coolie, I guess).

I've done my Math homework, which is easy... the catch is (oh, yes, there's a catch) I think I solved the wrong page of my excercise book. Oh, well, it won't matter in ten years or so. I hope.

Izzy just hopped by going "Wheehe!" again. Although now it's changed to "Wheehoo! Wheehoo!".

Yeah... I'm not feeling very inspired today.

Oh, right- at school my class spent four hours making the ofrenda for Día de Muertos (see? We have an actual tradition thingy, not like other countries, where all you do is eat candy and call that Hallowe'en), while I was at choir practice (save for five minutes, when I went over to see if I could help at all, but was instead rudely shooed off) . That was quite disappointing, seeing as I spent years looking forward to setting up the ofrenda. But I'll still try to take photos of it , because it turned out nicely anyway.
Oh, by the way, I still get an extra point in History this bimester, because I brought a bunch of stuff (flowers, clothes, and a plastic skull) for the ofrenda. Good thing, too, because I am in dire need of that point.

I think I'll try to cut down on my use of parenthesis.

History test!

Today was my first written History exam of the year, and let me tell you, it was AWFUL. I studied! I really did! I rarely study for tests, and when I do, it's never for long. Yesterday I studied for hours. And the test killed me.
Four pags of utter madness, and I don't think I passed.
Honestly, I really need the extra point this bimester- that will be for participating in the ofrenda, which is the third years' job.
If I get around to it, I'll take photos of the ofrenda and post them.


UPDATE: Got my results... I failed (4.3 out of 10. Go ahead, laugh).

Friday 13th

Well, today is Fiday the 13th. Bring out the black cats and all that.
It makes me remember the sixth of June (6-6-6). All the first-borns were making their wills, and everyone else was running around claiming their stuff.

Happy Birthday to me

On Friday I turned fouteen :). I got some candy, a bag, a few cards and a four-leaf clover. Also, Mauricio got the class to sing Las Mañanitas, which was really sweet and for which I thank him a lot.
