My delayed post. We have just finished watching Pan’s Labryinth in Spanish. It was a very good movie, and all of you (Yes, I know that some of you still read what I have to say) should watch it. The protagonist is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, perhaps, but she is definitely likable.
Other academic notes of interest: In choir, we are singing “Not While I’m Around” from Sweeney Todd. It’s a great song, but hard to sing the higher notes.
In English, we are reading Samurai’s Garden by Gail Tsukiyama. WHAT A WONDERFUL BOOK!!!!!!!!!! I care about all of the characters, and it is extremely sad but endearing. Definitely better than Romeo & Juliet.
In Biology, we are just about to take our chapter test on evolution. I feel okay about it, but definitely not wonderful. For Honors Biology, I am growing slime mold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_mold for images and more detailed description. I love Wikipedia.). I will not go into length here, but PLEASE go look at the page provided. It’s a very interesting species. My experiment is simplistic but efficient, and according to my research, slime mold prefers light to dark. Interesting. I see possibilities, limitless possibilities….
In Modern World History, we have a student teacher. She is a very good teacher and has definitely taught us a lot, albeit in a sometimes roundabout fashion. We have basically just finished a unit on WWI and we are now writing a paper on the Treaty of Versailles.
Geometry…. Is extremely boring. No offense, my unnamed Geometry teacher, but it is extremely boring, and can sometimes be a little tedious. If you want to know more, email me (everyone who reads my blog knows my email).
Fencing is going wonderfully. I have great coaches, and my Osgood Schlatter’s in my knee is completely gone. The downside is that I compensated by changing my lunge, with is a) bad for me and b) makes for a horrible and painful lunge. I am going to Summer Nationals to fence Junior, Cadet, and Y-14. I will also be refereeing at Nationals as well.

Oh my god! Maddy was right! I feel like such a cyber stalker. Trust me, this is NOT normal for me. But it is sorta fun =D
Happy Summer!
