February

So I know I haven't blogged for a long time but i just wanted to do a brief post today. Last week I went to Nauvoo for a YW trip. All of us went to a cabin/lodge thingy and we stayed and overnight and had a ton of fun and then the next morning we went to the temple! I have pictures I will have to post later too! ;)

Right now I'm sick with a temperature of 102 and all that good stuff. This is the first day I haven't gone to school when I was supposed to! So about school...I have a social studies test tomorrow that i am probably going to get a bad grade on because my teacher (Mr. Aulgur) hasn't gotten me a book so I can't study what is on the test!!!!! So i'm kinda nervous about that.
It's a test on Manifest Destiny, the Westward Expantion, the Gold Rush and more. So that's in SS. In english I finished Jane Eyre and now I have to do a 5 page report about different things in the book. Plus, I just finished my 1117 word story. I also just got a new set of vocab words to study. In art we are doing figure drawing and sculpting. In Math I'm doing square roots and stuff like that but i already learned this so it's easy. In science we are doing chemistry. The last class is PE and we just finished our big badminton games. I also on valentines day got 3 candygrams which are chocolate kisses made to look like roses. I GOT 3!!!!! =) :)

So that's what I have been doing. I will post pics of Nauvoo soon.

SNOW!!!!!!!!

So this year we are getting a bunch of snow! About a week ago we got about 10 inches of snow which is alot for around here (well kinda). Now yesterday (Monday) and today and tomorrow we are going to get 18-23 inches!!!!!!!!!!!! Monday I went to school (more on that later) and while i was in 3rd hour they announced that we couldn't go outside to the annex's because it was really slippery. We all thought that it was only raining how could it be slippery but if they said it was why don't we just get to get out of school now! 20 minutes later they said they would be letting school out early at 12:15 (there was alot of yelling then). So when I got off the bus there was a sheet of ice where the water froze. We were sliding a ton! Everything was covered in ice!

But there wasn't any snow yesterday so Isaac, Mark and I were outside having fun.

Here are some videos of what we were doing WITHOUT SNOW! Sorry there are alot of short ones that's why there are so many. They aren't really exciting but they were funny.

Me going down with Isaac. It was really weird.

Me going down with Isaac...on a longer hill...with water...

Mark and Isaac and this random kid named Justin with weird faces.

They say going down this hill is painful because you drop into the park and the end and it's really icey. Mark came out with cuts and Isaac says multiple places on his body hurt. =)

I will post a pic of how much snow we got after it's all done but for right now even I-70 is closed so that tells you something. More pics to come.
