so today i was bored..... like that is ever unusual..... and my parents were talking and different cultures. You know what i just realized? the word culture starts with the word cult. I wonder which word came first.... like was some person mad at some culture someday and called them a "cult" for short and then it became a bad-ish term.... OR.... was it like people were in a cult and they decided to call themselves a culture for some reason.... hmmmm.... interesting questions.... like my German teacher says, "Who knows what those tribesmen were thinking about around the campfire!" (ok - she is talking about German - all the germanic tribes go together and made the german lingo - which has some weird quirks, lemme tell ya!)
So i have very little else to say.....
hehe - Stephanie - how many seconds til tax day? For some reason today, in math, she decided to count up the seconds to EVERYTHING! She did til tax day, and she even did how many seconds i have been alive!! It was really really funny. hehe
So 8 days till Bettina!! (if you are weird and you don't know - Bettina is my German penpal and their english class is coming to visit us for 12 days! woo hoo!! last summer we visited them for 8 days or so. It was so much fun and I LOVE GERMANY!)
I leave for New Orleans in a day and a half! I am so excited! I have never been there! woo hoo! excited! :)
So i have to go and get some stuff packed cause i won't have much time tomorrow - i also have to paint my nails a pretty color... oohh.!!!

Hah!
I have more to say - i just didn't feel like going through the trouble of re-editing that post.
Ok - random fact from my planner - A sneeze travels at 99 miles per hour!!
ok- great website - www.thinkgeek.com look at the t-shirts - hilarious!!
Another thing i learned from my hilarious friend Carolyn - binary code is awesome and very funny.
So now - i am going to write in binary code.
*ok so there was a lot of 0's and 1's but i decided to take it out for now because it was making my post wider than it needed to be and i think it messed up the look of my page when i tried to change templates... maybe i will write something shorter later*
Seriously - i wrote something!! No, i am not a dork and i didn't memorize the binary code!
If you want to translate it go to http://nickciske.com/tools/binary.php and copy/paste that into the second box and press decode. Its awesome! hahahah. No!! Don't be lazy!!!!!! GO TRANSLATE IT!!

No stress?
So this is weird - last week I was like the stress-maniac queen - but this week...... not at all!! Yesterday we had a 2:10 dismissal (yes that is the pathetic attempt of my school to have an "early" dismiss.... its sad). Anyway! I had an hour of homework! Woo!! Then today- I finished it all during school because I had enough time during school! WHOA! Its amazing - and its weird cause I had the nauseating feeling that I am totally forgetting some huge project -but wait - those were all last week! HAH!
On Sunday I read the entire book "The Great Divorce" by C.S. Lewis (for a religion class). It was really interesting because this guy travels through hell and stops in heaven and like talks to all these people and its really cool because it presents some different ways of thinking about things. It was really interesting and I would suggest reading it if you have free time and feel like reading a book that you have to think about (the stories are thinking stories not just "oh that was nice, anyway on with my life" stories). It was also cool because heaven and hell aren't the typical places. Hell is always depicted as fiery and terrible, but it was really just this town where people hated each other so they all lived in their own crappy houses far from each other. It was also interesting because if they wanted something all they had to do was think about it and TADA! It would be there - but! It wasn't nice quality stuff. Also they were scared of the night and of certain things. So that was pretty cool. Heaven was this totally different place. It was just this huge field. When the people went there they were ghosts and they had to truly want to stay and believe in and love God to be able to become solid and therefore have it not be painful to walk around and stuff (since they were ghosts, the grass etc would penetrate their feet because it just went right through them etc). Also anyone who wanted could do this. There was a man that had murdered some people there, but he had a total revelation while there and stayed. The people that were famous on earth weren't famous in heaven - everyone was the same status etc.... It was really cool and I really liked some of the ideas presented. If you are too lazy to read it, go to sparknotes.com or something.
HAH! Another thing - did you know C.S. Lewis's real name was actually Clive Staples Lewis??? I mean how cruel can parents be!!!!! I would have signed C.S. too! I mean you can't go by your first name, "Hi! I'm Clive!!" and you can't go by your middle name, "Hi! My name is Staples!" People would just be like, "riiight!" and then give you funny looks.
So yeah, that is basically my life right now. :) I might go take a nap - cause I am pretty darn sleepy.

ACT
Hello. I had an interesting morning (ha - that is a laugh and a half!)
I took the ACT this morning. That was boring as all heck, but stressing. Parts of it was freakishly easy and i was amazed - but then it kept getting harder!! Darn thing.....its supposed to stay easy so that i will look smart to the colleges!! ;)
So that was boring and well, boring. I think i did alright. I filled in all the little annoying bubbles (some were guesses, but whatever). I just wanna say - who was the idiot who thought those bubbles would be good for testing? Half of my time was taken up by filling in the dumb things! grrr...... i hate scantrons...... those are so annoying.
Yesterday, i was at karate (ha where else would i be?) and we did lots of rolls and stuff like that (for you people who don't know, we do some gymnastic like things - somersaults, backwards rolls, cartwheels, round-offs, shoulder-rolls, distance rolls, and handstands etc). So anyway, we had to also work on some flip things yesterday. That was interesting. I definatly can't do a front flip - it was quite funny watching me try. But I sorta redeemed myself later because we were working on that thing you see in movies all the time where the person is lying down and they kinda kick and get up all fancy. We worked on that = and i can sorta do it!!!! YAY!!
Well, i need to go help my dad clean (grr.... who thought of cleaning???? )
Cya'll later!
