ALLERGIES!

I got a huge allergic reaction to something on Tuesday night! OMG I was COVERED in hives so now I have to take prednisone for a few days and I'm better now, but last night my arms, back, legs, stomach.....and butt....were covered! It was soooooo itchy.

Calamine lotion rox.

OBX Trip

The 8th grade is going on the Outer Banks trip tomorrow through Friday and I'm not going. I don't really care though...I've been there before....except all my friends are going! Everybody's abandoning meeee...

All State

The All State Band clinic started yesterday from 1 to 9 PM and today from 9 AM to 4:30 PM (except our conductor ran it 1/2 and hour late).

At the end of today, all the clarinets had a huge LUMP on our thumbs from holding up the clarinet (google it if you don't know clarinet anatomy). I feel like I have a big overbite from all the playing! I mean, it got to the point where I was taking the clarinet out of my mouth and I could FEEL my bottom teeth move back into place if I pushed on them with my tongue...Ugh. I'm gonna just sit there and READ and watch movies all evening. And do homework.

Earth Week

I won a stuffed hedgehog!!! for wearing green all week. His name is Larry and he can roll up into a ball and do somersaults....

My friend hasn't been in school for the past two weeks because she dropped boiling water or oil or something on her foot....ouch.

Hug a tree!

TKD Class

My friends came to my taekwondo class today! They all broke their boards on the first try! Way to go!

HAHA

My friend told me a joke weeks ago...I forgot about it until now.

Theres a pirate who walks into a bar. He is wearing a steering wheel from a ship in his pants. The bartender asks him why it is in his pants. The pirate says "Its driving me nuts."

It sounds better when you're saying it.

Poem

My old teacher is turning 60 in two weeks and she was telling me about this poem.

Warning by Jenny Joseph

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Except she said it started "When I grow old I'll wear a red hat and a purple dress and do dam* well what I please." I think thats how it went.

Friends and Family Week

My taekwondo is doing a Friends and Family week where we can get friends and family to come take class with us. Me and Em are planning to invite everybody in our class! Or at least most of them. Well, half. But Em is really excited and I'm scared about what she's going to do...uh oh spaghetti-o.

Easter slugs

We had an Easter egg hunt yesterday. It was fun. But it rained earlier and we found slugs all over the place. Yeah, I picked up a blue egg in a bush and two little slugs were crawling on it...ugh. And when we went inside, there was a huge one in my basket. And then we found one crawling across the table. Freaked us out.

Arthur

Haha I'm watching Arthur right now....its about the only show I've ever watched religiously. I LOVE Arthur! He's this aardvark (I don't even know what that is) who has a friend named Buster who is a bunny and it is so weird!

My teacher from 6th grade who moved to Maryland last summer came to NC to visit because she was on spring break. Nice to see you, Mrs. H.
