Back form Nowhere

Boy, have I been away form the blogging world for a while or what?

I have been busy with school, school, and more school.

Here is some big news for you Harry Potter fans, I am reading the books. I am on the fourth and am enjoying them. I must agree that the authors writing style is great and her plot line is captivating.

Another grand news. I am deeply taken with someone............. Don't panic, it is not true love, just another barrier broken down. I adore a cat that has been coming around for that last week. She is beautiful! She is dark brownish tanish blackish kinda like a tortoise shell pattern. She is a darling and will lay with her head on my shoulder and purr like crazy. We will see if I can get a picture of her to post.

And more news. This blog was originally intended to be a summer blog so I may not be posting very often. Please keep coming and commenting even if you don't have anything to say. I will attempt to post at least once a month.

Smiles and autumn cheer for everyone!

Here is the thing from Cristina's blog.

Please do them!

PSAT

Yesterday, the 18th, I took the PSAT. The PSAT is a preliminary SAT and, if one gets high enough scores, one can qualify for the National Merit Scholarship. The test has five sections: two critical reading, two math, and one writing, but thankfully no essay. Cristina and I went to Logos to taken the test. We arrived at about 8:00 am and were there till about 11:30. Afterward we went to McDonalds for lunch :) I think that the whole thing went very well. I took the test last year but it only counts for the scholarship in your junior year. The scores will come in a couple of months. Hope you all are enjoying the beautiful Autumn weather and colors!!!!

THE END

I am done, overwith, finished with THE END. Yes, I bought it and stayed up till 12:30 this morning reading it. For the sake of those who have not read it yet, I will not say anything except that Mr. Snicket had better keep writing things.

Rather Unfinished Character Description

Uncomfortably hot grains of sand shifted between her toes as she ran toward the water. Large umbrellas and sun burnt people lay spread out in both directions, everyone as close to the water as they could get without being wet. A large woman, sitting in a white beach chair, licked her fingers after tossing a Lay’s potato chip bag to the ground. Heaving herself out of the chair, the woman made her way to the water, unaware of the unpleasant picture her lumpy arms and legs presented.

Filming

Now that you are confused and are wondering "what in the world?"; I will tell all. Myself an several friends (Erin, Traci and Cristina included) are in the prossess of producing Sophocles' Antigone. Brady is filming and the rest of us are busy memorizing lines, creating costumes, and many other laborius tasks.

Smiles for everyone!!!!! :D

Three Words

Filming has begun.

More Dancing

Unknown Verses

Browsing Dr. Grant's blog I came across the "Star Spangled Banner" with all its verses and thought you all might find it interesting.


O! say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming:
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming,
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:

O! say, does the star-spangled banner still wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mist of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream.

‘Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is the band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a country would leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave!

And the star-spangled banner in triumph cloth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the foe's desolation;
Bless'd with victory and peace, may our heaven rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, “In God is our trust!”

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

News..

From Days Gone By

There has been as death and a resurrection. Our dearest, despised internet died. Note: that is why I have been absent for, O, so long. It was resurrected a few days ago by the repair man. Aren’t we pleased.

My grandparents are here!!!! Time for a lot of spoiling and fun!!!!

School is great! Mrs. P is a wonderful teacher and it is so fun doing school with my friend Cristina. We are having a great time plowing through Total Truth, logically thinking about Logic, grammatically correcting our Grammar, plotting our Geometry, historically categorizing History, like scientists studying our Chemistry, poetically writing, largely reading Great Books, literarily critiquing our Literature, tunefully singing in Choir, devouring our Lunch, and most linguistically talking Latin.

I am all alone. (not really) Mama and Papa are in Seattle with Emma, she has appointments with all her doctors. The appointment with Dr. Manning (her ENT) will be a hearing test to see how well she can hear out of her left ear.
