Test

Today I had to get up at 7:00am to take a placement test at Aquinas high school which is where I will go later this year. It was easy, I didn't know whether to take the test, or look for the hidden camera. They had me write an essay about how I feel my academic challenges in the past two years have helped prepare me for high school. Here is a rough idea of what I wrote:


" I do not feel I have faced any academic "challenges" in the past year, but I have instead
been presented with academic "Opportunities" which I believe have helped me grow intellectually.
For example: home schooling allows my mom to observe my work, and provide a curriculum which helps me grow in areas I excel at, and nurtures subjects that I have more trouble with. The freedom of home schooling also allows me to pursue subjects outside of my standard daily work, and I believe working in the comfortable environment of my home, has allowed me to focus completely on my school work"

Pretty good huh? Well I'm gonna go play WoW bye!

WATER SLIDE!

Yesterday was my friend's graduation party, and he invited me, my mom, and my sister. As you might have guessed from the title he had a WATER SLIDE! We arrived there about 5pm, I started going on the water slide about 5:30, and stopped only three times: Twice for hotdogs, and once to catch my breath and talk to my momma. We left about I think...... Actually I'm not sure, but it wasn't late. Needless to say I went down the water slide many, many times. I was so happy to go to bed finally. And today I plan to visit my favorite place for Warhammer 40k, a little shop near a Radio Shack about 15mins away. Well I have to go eat breakfast, do laundry, and do chores for the day, bye.

Why is it so cold?

Why is it 65 degrees inside? Why at the end of May is it 65 degrees in the morning?
Well besides that, I'm kinda tired, I woke up at 7:00am, luckily for me my mom happened to wake up right when my dream started to lose momentum. The end went something like this: I was trying to park a 40-foot long bus in our 20 ft driveway (Of course in my dream our driveway, was much bigger), and was about to crash through our garage door, and kill all of the beagle, and jack russel, puppies that were inside, but I managed to slam on the brakes, and swerve out of the way at the very last moment. Got to go bye.

Hello!

Hello this is my new blog, it is also my third blog. (You don't want to know what happened to the other two) I figured I should start my first post with some info on a current project I am working on.


BIOSPHERE





The pictures you see above, were taken in the local woods, unfortunately this water is where most of our sewage is dumped, but luckily the water remains clean enough for sludge sampling which I will put in a jar. Why? For my current project: A Biosphere. The concept is very simple: Put various species of animals, or otherwise into a jar, add some type of food source for said animal, factor in other organisms for waste management, oxygen reproduction, and BAM! You have a Biosphere. The main object of a Biosphere is to see if the test subject you have placed in your environment will be able to survive within it's new sealed, and closed off habitat. The particular subject for this experiment, or "Econaut" as they're sometimes called will be an Amano Shrimp, I did not come up with this myself, but read about it in the Projects section of a very interesting magazine called MAKEzine, if you like to tinker with stuff, and make cool things look it up in Google.
Anyways back to the status of my experiment, I will not unfortunately be able to list all of the required materials for this experiment (*cough*lazy*cough*), but i will tell you that I have not yet bought my Econaut, but will hopefully vist a local Fish store tomorrow, and will purchase it, along with a few other needed items. Biosphere lab out.


I think that's enough of the Biosphere for now. Well........ I'm gonna go play World of Warcraft (Anvilmar server, name's Tunahunter for anyone who also happens to play). Bye! see ya tomorrow!
