Spring is a tease.

It gives you a sweet taste of Summer and then, just as quickly, snatches it away.

I can't believe Summer's almost here. As much as I'm not going to miss waking up at 6 AM, there are some things I loathe to be leaving (I'm moving after this year's done). Friends, familiarity, normalcy. I hate being the new kid.

Anyway, this is just a short post. I found this article that I really adore. You should check it out. Ugh, and speaking of articles, I have one that I've been ignoring for the past couple of hours, so I should really go.

Ps: I really haven't been on blogger forever (I remember the days when I went on everyday), which makes me feel guilty. I miss you all. I need to find some free time. Forgive me for a little while?

Flying Is Just Falling And Missing The Ground

I'm not afraid of running for it, or even jumping off the edge. It's the falling that gets me every time.

This weekend, my little sister had her birthday party. Tons of her friends came (and some of mine as well), but only Anna (4th grader) and Grace (one grade younger than me because she failed the third grade) stayed the night. Grace (who is about the same age as me) stayed up half the night playing Mushimonsters with my little sisters. Before that we googled pictures of her favorite band, Panic At The Disco, for which she is stalker obsessed with.

Later the same weekend we went to a trail behind my house and went behind the lake to the railroad tracks that me and Ashley discovered last year. She pulled out her MP3 player and played Jingle Bells. It was completely random but totally awesome. So we sang jingle bells while walking on opposite sides of the railroad track, the MP3 headphone cord dangling between us. My voice was hoarse because of the cold I now fully have. It was fun, though. Fear because we could've been hit at any moment by an oncoming train, and excitement for the same reason. My little sisters were there too, but too afraid to go any farther than the edge of the lake.

Then later that day, we were stalked by a 4th grade giant. I'll explain in my next post. Hope you're all doing well and don't completely hate me for being the slowest catcher up-er (um?) on blogs. I promise I'll check up by Friday. Wish me luck on tomorrow's concert. =)

Überlastung

Life goes on way too fast. One minute it's Summer and I'm staying up late and sleeping in, the next I'm in Economics class doing a Current Events report. Days begin to blur together and I have no idea what's going on.

So much stuff is happening tomorrow. My grade is going to attend the Equestrian Games (we're so lucky, it's been a long time since it's been held outside of Europe). I'll try to get pictures with my cell phone, but it might rain so I'm not sure how they'll turn out. And after that we're (the orchestra) is going to perform for the school board which is going to be televised. I also have to figure out where this one person (Rachel, I think her name is) lives so I can deliver something she bought from my school  to her. Then after that I'm going to finish the two projects for Mr. Newton's class. I'm kinda peeved that he assigned two at the same time, but he's an okay teacher most of the time. Probably my favorite if I had to pick. He also teaches Medieval Times classes and has awesome stories that he'll tell us. He reenacts battles for a hobby and he's died twice. The first time when he was a boy scout (or something of the sort) and he was struck by lightning and his heart stopped beating for a couple of minutes. The second when he was in the military and in an enclosed space. There was a fire and they put this gas which would suck out all the oxygen (killing the fire, and as it also turns out him . . . for a few minutes anyway). He's only gotten mad at us once, and I don't blame him. I didn't do it, but locking him out of the classroom is a bit extreme, don't you think?

Any who, wish me luck. =)
By the way the title means "overload" in German. Oh, and if you don't know them check out Hey Monday. Just discovered them and love their music. Have a great week!

"Good morning, Starshine. The Earth says hello."

It's from Charlie and the Chocolate factory; my current obsession. Anyway, I was reading a blog, and came across something about Lady Gaga being an intelligent woman. I couldn't help but think, yeah right. I mean, have you seen what she wears in her music video of Telephone? I went on Youtube and searched for an interview from her. I found one, and it surprised me. She really is smart, and has reasons behind her extravagent outfits. You should watch one if you get the chance.

Today was the last day of school (well until August, I mean). I could stay up all night and not worry about falling asleep in Math. I could go swimming, because the pools are finally open. No more waking up at 7 AM. No more freezing weather. No more homework. No more teachers. No more crappy cafeteria food. I think I'm gonna miss that place.

Bad Luck

The bad luck started this morning.I woke up around 5 AM because Erin's friend needed a bed to sleep in, and went downstairs to the couch. I fell asleep easily and woke up again around eight to get ready for school. I took my coat out of the dryer, to find it still really wet on the right sleeve. When I got to school, I took out my pencil and half of it was gone. Chewed off. Probably by my dogs. During second period I heard we had a new student. I saw the person after class. They had shoulder length white-ish blond hair, and I assumed it was a girl. I asked my friend "Who's the new girl?". The new kid was a couple of feet away, and I'm sure he heard me ask that. Yeah, it turned out to be a boy. Oops. The rest of the school day was a blur: literature, orchestra (where my pin {at the bottom of my cello to keep it up} kept breaking), yearbook, science, math. When I got home, my mom told me we were going to Wal-mart. I agreed to go, because I wanted to buy the next Percy Jackson book. When we got there I realized I forgot my wallet. Later, around six, we had dinner. It was chili hot dogs. Mine fell on my lap ruining my jeans. That sums it up, I guess. I'm gonna put these pics up for good luck. -Hannah

Today. . .

Hey, this is about the time before I go to school, and today my little sister is having surgery. My parents had to wake up at six to take her to the hospital, so now I'm home alone, except for one of my mom's friends upstairs sleeping. Now I'm debating whether to go to school or not. . . I really wanna stay home and go back to bed, but I have like four tests (Orchestra, Social studies, math, science) today. I guess I have to go or I'm going to fail, because there is no way I could make up all that work on Monday in AE. So I'm just procrastinating getting ready, by blogging about it. I'll post later. Bye!

Today

Today has been pretty good, so I'm gonna post about it: Well, most of it happened in Mrs. Kleinheinz class. First, we finished our Persian/ Chaldean/ Assyrian battle project, which more fun than our regular paper work. Then, we started taking notes from the power point. With power points we only have to write whats in color. Today's color was pink. So everyone wearing pink got a piece of candy. It's kind of weird how that happened, considering I was wearing green, but decided on pink before going to school. So, I ate my piece and was trying to fix my cell in my pocket, when i felt something rough rubbing against my finger. It was a bunch of money. Money I had probably forgotten was there a long time ago. Then I went to Language Arts with Ms. Brown, nothing exciting then. Then to Orchestra, where we had a test. Ughh! I don't think I did so well on that. Then art, math, science, and finally eighth hour. Which is more science. At the end of eighth hour Shayla started prank calling people because Ms. Jostlin is a nice teacher that lets you do what you want at the end of the day. Then I went to work on the Leestown Lit. Magazine after school. That's all really, bye.
