Hey everyone,
I've had an incredibly busy week. To start off with, a huge deadline in yearbook was Tuesday night (the entire book was due), so I spent my lunch helping Mrs. Mann, my yearbook teacher, and I stayed after school until 5. (And school's over at 3:20). The systems started messing up, and we weren't able to get anything done later that night. The senior pictures were the only thing that needed to be completed. So yesterday I spent my lunch helping Mrs. Mann again. I also finished my work early in History (which I have right before Yearbook) and I was able to leave the class early and work on yearbook stuff for 15 minutes. On top of that, I stayed after school until 4.
I also had French club yesterday from 3:30-4:30. I only went to the second half, though, because I spent the first half working on yearbook. It was fun, and we ate French cookies.
A huge change that happened this week happened on Monday evening. My dad randomly came up to me and said "I've been thinking about it, and I'm going to let you have a Facebook if you want." I've never been allowed to have a Facebook, so it was really cool. I set it up, and made it have the strictest security settings possible. I don't want people I don't know seeing that much about me. I also have been getting lots of friend requests, which is nice :-)
Thankfully, Spring Break is next week! I can't wait to be able to sit back and relax. Ciao!

Driving- And All The Reasons I Love It! :D
Hey everyone,
As I told you all in an earlier post, I now have my temps (meaning I can drive if I have one of my parents in the car with me). On Sunday, I went out to an empty parking lot with my dad, and he helped me mostly with how much pressure to apply to the brakes and gas. After that I went out driving around town for about an hour and a half. It was so much fun! The fastest I went was 50 mph on a back country road (and that was the speed limit). I was driving in my grandma's car because all of the cars my parents have are either supercharged mustangs (not good to learn to drive in), or enormous SUVs (not good to learn in either).
Tonight I went to a spaghetti dinner at my church, and then went over to my grandparents' house. My grandpa let my drive the car over there. It was awesome, and I was even able to back the car up in their long driveway.
Here's to safe driving! :-)

Happy Anniversary To My Parents! :-)
 |
| My parents at the French Market, May 14, 1994 |
Hey everyone,
Well, today is the 16th wedding anniversary of my mom and dad (yes, both are biologically my parents). They actually started dating on March 19, 1991. They were both 13 years old and in the eighth grade. They wanted to get married on March 19th, but that fell on a Sunday in 1995, and they wanted the wedding to be on a Saturday, so they went with the day before.
Well, my dad took my mom out for dinner and a movie to celebrate their anniversary (after he bought her roses, a helium filled balloon proclaiming "Happy Anniversary!" and a big, fancy card that cost like $5 (that's a lot for a card)). I babysat my brother while they went out. Well, it was more of, Bowen will sit and watch TV or play his video games and I'll read or play on my laptop. I cooked us both pizza, but he ate most of it.
Well, happy anniversary Mom and Dad! :-)

OGTs... They're Kind Of A Waste Of Time
Hey everyone,
For anyone who doesn't know OGT stands for the Ohio Graduation Test. There are five of these tests all Sophomores in the state of Ohio must take and pass- Reading, Math, Writing, Science and Social Studies (the OGTs for this week are in that order). Students take the OGTs for the first time in March of their Sophomore year. If they do not pass the OGTs in March, they are given the opportunity to try again in the fall of their Junior Year. If they do not pass them in the fall, they can take them yet again with the Sophomores in March. If they still fail them (at this point it's just plain pathetic), they can try again in the fall of their Senior Year. If they fail them yet again they can take them in March with the Sophomores. If they fail them yet again, A) They've reached beyond pathetic status and B) You can't graduate and C) You probably won't be getting a job anytime soon.
The OGTs have a reputation for being extremely easy. And so far, I must agree. Much of the math and reading was stuff we should have known in middle school...maybe even intermediate. If you find that offensive, too bad. And besides, the ACT (American College Testing) and SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Tests) are far more difficult than the meager OGTs. But on the plus side, we get shortened periods and reading time (once we're done with the tests). It's great because I got the third book in the Hunger Games Trilogy (Mockingjay), yesterday morning, and was able to finish it before I went to bed. Today I have the book Max by James Patterson, and I'm loving getting to spend more time to read it.
Another bonus is that my math class (first period) celebrated Pi Day today (even though it was actually yesterday). We celebrated it so that we wouldn't have to do any more math today after the Math OGT (thanks Mrs. Highman :-)

A Kind Of Depressing Day... And A Week That Sucked
Hey everyone,
Well, to start off with, this week has completely SUCKED!!! (It seems like I've had a lot of sucky weeks lately) The worst thing that has happened this week, by far, it my friend's dad's death. I'm not going to say my friend's name (for privacy reasons), but today was the showing/funeral. To make things even worse, on Monday is my friend's Sweet Sixteenth Birthday, and Wednesday is her sister's 17th birthday. I went over to her house last night, and went to the showing today, and plan to go to her house again tonight. I also plan to go over to her house on her birthday. I brought her all her favorite snacks (courtesy of our group) in a wicker basket to her last night, along with two cards signed by our classmates. She loved them. She's doing pretty well, all things considered, which is very good. If the person I'm talking about is reading this now: I'm always here for you. <3
On of the lesser things that made this week suck is the fact that I think I failed my Chemistry test yesterday. I've been super stressed all week long, and when I looked at the test it was like I had never seen the stuff before in my life. It was awful. I ended up guessing like the entire way through the test. The worst part is, that if I failed that test, I'm going to struggle with my grade for the entire six weeks. Tests are 100 points, and in comparison, homework is usually around 8 points. So it's really hard to make it up when you bomb one of the tests.
To end my crappy week, I had a problem with my purse. At the end of 8th period (My Yearbook Class), I realized that my backpack and purse were not where I had set them at the beginning of the period. I found my backpack in the corner of the room, but my purse was nowhere to be found. I was positive that I had brought it to Yearbook, but I went to check my 7th period class as the dismissal bell rang. It wasn't there, and the teacher said he hadn't seen it, nor had anyone turned it in. I went to check with the main office to see if anyone had turned in a purse, but no one had. I then realized that I had already missed my bus, and I ran back up to the Yearbook room to see if Danielle, my yearbook editor, could give me a ride home. No one was in the room. At that point I started freaking out, because I had missed my bus, had no ride, lost my purse (which had in it my cell phone, iPod touch, wallet and graphing calculator), and had no way to call for anyone. A teacher noticed me in the hall, and asked what was wrong. I asked if he had seen Mrs. Mann, my yearbook adviser, and he said he hadn't, but he would help me look for her. We finally found her, and I was completely freaking out. She told me not to worry, that she would give me a ride home, and we could stay and look for my purse. We searched all over the school, but couldn't find it. Then we went back into the Yearbook room to search some more, and we ended up finding it in the Read 180 Crate thing. We don't know who moved it there or why. But all my stuff was still there, at least.
When I got home, I ended up talking to my mom about all of the stressful craziness that's going on in my life today. Talking to her always makes me feel better.
Well, here's to hoping for a better week next week! Ciao!

The Hunger Games: Down With the Capitol!!! :D
 |
| Cover Art of The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins |
Hey everyone,
As you can probably guess, I've been able to get my hands on some awesome books lately. One of those books is the sensational bestseller, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I started reading this book in a reading group for English class, actually. In the Accelerated English II class at my school, the students get to choose what books they want to read in our groups. The books have to be ones the teacher approves of, and ones that the teacher can get multiple copies of. A large amount of the class wanted to read The Hunger Games, so here we are.
I was not able to put this book down! There was a large air of suspense to this novel, and it was a complete page-turner. The story revolves around a sixteen-year-old girl named Katniss Everdeen, who volunteers to take the place of her 12-year-old sister, Primrose, in the vicious gladiator-style Hunger Games. The entire novel circles around Katniss and her realization of how truly corrupt her government is. She also experiences what is means to look after someone as she and the fellow "tribute" from her district, Peeta, have to work together. And as for Peeta, well he might be a bit more interested in Katniss than she's like to believe.
As the series goes on the stance is clear: Down with the Capitol!
Back of Book Description:
Winning Means Fame And Fortune.
Losing Means Certain Death.
The Hunger Games Have Begun...
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards is as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before- and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
Reviews:
"A violent, jarring, speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense.... I couldn't stop reading."
~Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
"I was so obsessed with this book.... The Hunger Games is amazing."
~Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight Saga
"Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced."
~John Green, The New York Times Book Review

Maximum Ride: Can't Believe I Didn't Read It Earlier
 |
| Cover Art of The Angel Experiment: Book 1 of the Maximum Ride Series |
Have you ever read a book that's been popular for a while and went "What took me so long to read this?" Well, I have just experienced that feeling, yet again, while reading the Maximum Ride Series by James Patterson. The series circles around "The Flock": A group of six bird-kids (98% Human, 2% Bird) who have escaped from the "Whitecoat" evil scientists who are determined to study them with cruel methods. (For example- they were raised in dog cages). The main character is a girl named Maximum, who goes by Max. She is the oldest of the group, at 14. Fang, her second-in-command, and sometimes love interest, is also 14 (a few months younger than Max, though). He's kind of quiet, but when he has something to say, it's very powerful. He is also extremely stubborn. Then there's Iggy, who is 14 and blind (the whitecoats had tried to improve his night vision and made him permanently blind). He's a good cook and flier, surprisingly, and Max notes that the only time his blindness bothers him is when somebody in the flock forgets and moves the furniture or something (Book 1). Then there's Nudge, who is 11, and she is a little chatterbox. The flock refers to her as the Nudge Channel- all Nudge, all the time (Book 1). Then there's The Gasman, aka "Gazzy", who is eight, and has an unfortunate digestive problem that led to his namesake. Then there's Angel, and adorable little six year, who is Gazzy's biological sister (they are the only two related by blood). She is very gifted and can both see the future and read minds.
The books, in order, are:
1. The Angel Experiment (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Angel-Experiment/James-Patterson/e/9780316067959/?itm=3&USRI=maximum+ride%3a+the+angel+experiment)
2. School's Out- Forever (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Schools-Out-Forever/James-Patterson/e/9780316067966/pwb=1&)
3. Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Saving-the-World-and-Other-Extreme-Sports/James-Patterson/e/9780316154277/pwb=1&)

Note: The book description of Angel and Fang (Angel especially) is entirely different from the people in the video. I don't know why they chose the people they did. Angel is supposed to be an adorable little girl with curly blond hair and blue eyes. Oh well. Besides the fact that they got the character descriptions wrong, I think they're really awesome.

Darkest Mercy by Melissa Marr- Incredible Ending to the Series
 |
| Cover Art for Darkest Mercy By Melissa Marr |
Hey everyone,
I randomly felt like blogging about how awesome a book I finished last week was. The book is Darkest Mercy by Melissa Marr. It is the fifth and final book in the Wicked Lovely Series. The books, in order, are:
1. Wicked Lovely (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Wicked-Lovely/Melissa-Marr/e/9780061214677/?itm=2&USRI=wicked+lovely)2. Ink Exchange (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Ink-Exchange/Melissa-Marr/e/9780061214707/pwb=1&)
3. Fragile Eternity (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Fragile-Eternity/Melissa-Marr/e/9780061214738/pwb=1&)
4. Radiant Shadows (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Radiant-Shadows/Melissa-Marr/e/9780061659225/pwb=1&)
5. Darkest Mercy (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Darkest-Mercy/Melissa-Marr/e/9780061659256/?itm=1&USRI=darkest+mercy)
There is also a Manga spin-off series:
1. Santuary (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Sanctuary/Melissa-Marr/e/9780061493546/?itm=31&USRI=wicked+lovely)
2. Challenge (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Challenge/Melissa-Marr/e/9780061493492/pwb=1&)
3. Resolve (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Resolve/Melissa-Marr/e/9780061493508/?itm=27&USRI=wicked+lovely)
This is the publisher's description of Darkest Mercy:
The Summer King is missing; the Dark Court is bleeding; and a stranger walks the streets of Huntsdale, his presence signifying the deaths of powerful fey.
Aislinn tends to the Summer Court, searching for her absent king and yearning for Seth. Torn between his new queen and his old love, Keenan works from afar to strengthen his court against the coming war. Donia longs for fiery passion even as she coolly readies the Winter Court for battle. And Seth, sworn brother of the Dark King and heir to the High Queen, is about to make a mistake that could cost his life.
Love, despair, and betrayal ignite the Faery Courts, and in the final conflict, some will win . . . and some will lose everything.
The thrilling conclusion to Melissa Marr's New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series will leave readers breathless.
Back of the Book Blurb:
Aislinn took a steady breath. "I need to find out where Keenan is. If he's not home, I'm going into war without him...which is not ideal. Someone knows where he is."
"I do not, my queen. I give my word that I will find out, though." Tavish's restrained facade slipped, and she saw the faery-cruel expression as he asked, "Are there limits to the methods?"
At that, she faltered. "Don't ask me to be a monster."
Affectionately, he reached out as squeezed her forearm. "You are a faery regent, Aislinn, and we are fast approaching war. Monstrosity will be called for. How far will you go to protect your court?"
My Review:
I absolutely loved this novel. Without giving spoilers to the other novels, I must say that I thought the novel brought together the loose ends of the other stories in a conclusion that was as satisfying as it was unexpected. I felt that Melissa Marr kept the story fresh and I loved how all characters from previous novels seemed to make an appearence. There isn't a whole lot I can say about this novel without spoiling the others, so I would sugest reading them in order. I've posted about the first two books in the past.

A Lot's Happened in the Last Week....
Hey everyone,
Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. I've had a crazy busy week. My week had a bad start when I found out that Miss Ashley Fetsko, a teacher at my school, lost her battle with cancer on Sunday, February 27th. I didn't have her as a teacher personally, but my friend Jasmine did. She took Miss Fetsko's death really hard. It's really sad too, because Miss Fetsko was only 26 years old, and she was an only child. She had a really rare form of cancer, and had just been diagnosed about three weeks before she died.
And away from depressing topics.... This week I've been very busy with yearbook stuff. Our deadline is fast approaching for the book to be completed, and the entire staff is working their hardest. For anyone who might go to FHHS and would like to purchase a yearbook, please note that all yearbooks must be purchased by April 1st. There will be no "I'll just purchase one when they come in." If we did that and ordered a lot of extra books, we'd be putting ourselves at risk of a large debt if we were unable to sell them. If the $35 the yearbook costs is a problem, you can always pay part now and reserve your book, and the rest when the book comes in. Here's the link to buy your yearbook online: http://store.classscene.com/ssBAYB.aspx?sid=10598. You can also visit http://www.fhhsyearbook.com/ for more information about the FHHS Yearbook.
An important day.... On Thursday, Mrs. Coudle, my guidance counselor, came into my English class to discuss scheduling. Assuming I can fit it all into my schedule, I am going to be taking News Broadcasting (Mr. Mann, one of the News Broadcasting teachers already said I'm accepted- it's a full year course), AP English III (Full Year), AP European History (Full Year), Government (Required to Graduate.. blah. Semester Course), Chemistry II CP (Full Year- I've been debating between this and Biology II), Pre-Calculus (Full Year), Yearbook Productions II (I'm most likely going to be a Co-Editor next year also- Full Year), and a PSEO class at Franklin University (It will be a semester long course, but I'm not sure which one yet).
And to end the week.... Friday was a great way to end my week. My English teacher, Mr. Mann, brought the class in cake for National Grammar Day. It was yummy! :-) I had never heard of National Grammar Day before, but I didn't care- I got cake! The cake was marble cake with vanilla icing. Happy National Grammar Day was written across the top.
There's my update. I'll try to keep posting more often like I usually do.

And away from depressing topics.... This week I've been very busy with yearbook stuff. Our deadline is fast approaching for the book to be completed, and the entire staff is working their hardest. For anyone who might go to FHHS and would like to purchase a yearbook, please note that all yearbooks must be purchased by April 1st. There will be no "I'll just purchase one when they come in." If we did that and ordered a lot of extra books, we'd be putting ourselves at risk of a large debt if we were unable to sell them. If the $35 the yearbook costs is a problem, you can always pay part now and reserve your book, and the rest when the book comes in. Here's the link to buy your yearbook online: http://store.classscene.com/ssBAYB.aspx?sid=10598. You can also visit http://www.fhhsyearbook.com/ for more information about the FHHS Yearbook.
An important day.... On Thursday, Mrs. Coudle, my guidance counselor, came into my English class to discuss scheduling. Assuming I can fit it all into my schedule, I am going to be taking News Broadcasting (Mr. Mann, one of the News Broadcasting teachers already said I'm accepted- it's a full year course), AP English III (Full Year), AP European History (Full Year), Government (Required to Graduate.. blah. Semester Course), Chemistry II CP (Full Year- I've been debating between this and Biology II), Pre-Calculus (Full Year), Yearbook Productions II (I'm most likely going to be a Co-Editor next year also- Full Year), and a PSEO class at Franklin University (It will be a semester long course, but I'm not sure which one yet).
And to end the week.... Friday was a great way to end my week. My English teacher, Mr. Mann, brought the class in cake for National Grammar Day. It was yummy! :-) I had never heard of National Grammar Day before, but I didn't care- I got cake! The cake was marble cake with vanilla icing. Happy National Grammar Day was written across the top.
There's my update. I'll try to keep posting more often like I usually do.
