Looking Forward to a Wonderful Tomorow... Never mind.

I am worried because I missed school twice this week. I have a math test and a vocab test tomorrow I don't know what I am tested on since I wasn't there. Mom said I will do great but... I have some doubts. The director of the play is really giving me troubles and I don't get what I am doing wrong.

I wrote this poem for reflection. The theme is "WOW!" I was going to enter it along with some pressed flowers but they don't have a mixed media category. Remember that this is only a first draft and I wrote it late at night. It probably saved me embarrassment that I didn't enter it. Please try not to laugh.....


Little Wonders of the Earth


By Rian


My Daddy took me to a store,

A flower store.


Many flower sizes and shapes,

small pinks, yellows, and reds.

Big blues, purples,and whites.


I put one, two, three.

Four, five, six,

In a cart.


Daddy buys pretty flowers just for me.

How pretty they will be,

In that garden just for me.


I plant the flowers with my Daddy,

Aaron, Jonathan,

While Mommy watches us make a garden.


I go to bed thinking how wonderful it will be,

When the flowers grow as big as me.


Tomorrow I will check and see.


See, they did not grow as big as me,

They just bloom and bloom and bloom

Into outstanding colors just for you and me to see


Fall is coming, coming, here.

My garden gets brown like the leaves on the trees.


I go out and feel a chilled breeze,

I pick some flowers, my favorite ones.

I smash them between two pieces of cardboard,


Now here is some flowers that'll always be in full bloom.

Aren't they gorgeous?


With winter coming I still have my special garden,

For everyone to see,

The little wonders of the earth.



Did I fail poem writing or what? I am going to bed.

Braces, Singing and Dancing!

I got spacers in for my braces this morning. It hurts really bad and I was not able to eat my dinner because it hurts too much to chew. I asked my mom if Hitler put braces on people's teeth as a torment device. She said, "Um, hm." I don't know quite what she meant by that. She was probably asleep when she said that because she stayed up reading "Twilight" all night.
I went to my school's choir concert tonight. They dedicated "Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water" to the boy who died in a car accident that was in our school. A lot of my friends were performing at the choir concert. My favorite song they performed was done by the show choir and was called "Thriller." They had really good soloists and the dance was cool. My dad said "Thriller" was written by Michel Jackson, the guy whose nose is falling off. It would be funny if Michel Jackson's nose fell off in the middle of a concert.
I am probably going to the Halloween dance tomorrow. I hope I don't scare off too many people with my dancing!

I'm in the school play and my Mom is a lawbreaker

Guess what? I am Ms. Theodora Van Gough, the art teacher in "High School Inquirer." I can't believe I even got a part! The only thing that I don't like is that she has two guys fighting over her and it's just... well embarrassing. Plus I am the second shortest girl in the play and the boy teachers are 9th graders! Awkward!
This weekend was so fun going to Mesa Verde. Hiking around in Mesa Verde it was so interesting learning about how they lived. I wonder how much they had to be in shape to climb up and down sheer cliff faces with little hand and toe holes. The women were the farmers so they were the ones who mostly climbed up and down everyday. No wonder the life expectancy of their woman was 20 years.
On the way back home I had fallen asleep and I woke to a police officer talking to my mom. It scared me half to death waking up to a police officer in my face (I was asleep in the front passenger seat and he had come to that window). He only gave us a warning thank goodness.
My tooth is trying to come out and it really hurts.
I accidentally published this because I yanked at my tooth and not only did it come out, but my hand hit the mouse (thank goodness for the editing button). My very last baby tooth is now gone. Just in time for me to start the process of braces on Wednesday. GEESH!

Here's an Introduction

A couple things I like: dogs, horses, theatre, writing, reading, running, and violin. Yesterday I had auditions for the school comedy ''High School Inquirer." Hopefully I did okay. I felt absolutely ridiculous auditioning for a cheerleader. "Like oh my gosh" get a life people! Do cheerleaders really act like that? My dog is needing attention so I will blog later!
