Hey Peeps

Hey, peeps. How're things goin'? I'm actually okay. I finished all my PX (Personal Exploration - this year-long project we have to do) stuff that is due in a week, and it's really good to have that huge load off my shoulders. Unfortunately, I still have to do my Travel Europe project. Travel Europe is this project where you have to pretend you are going on an actual trip to Europe. You have ten days and $1000 dollars. You are in pairs - but there was an odd one out, so I am in a group of three. I have to do London and Paris. Sigh... I never get a break, do I?
Hey, did you know that the only reason we use I instead of i is because just i looks bad by itself? I looks better, so instead of writing "We had so much fun, and i loved it" it would be "We had so much fun, and I loved it". Simply for the reason that little i doesn't look good by itself.
Did you know that there are more people on Facebook today than there was on Earth two hundred years ago? Crazy, huh?
Well, that's it. Bye!

The Amazing Concept of Wormholes from a sixth grader's perspective (and other stuff)

Wormholes. Those crazy things people say are in space. Know how wormholes supposedly work? I'll try to explain, the way my teacher did (but she had a sheet so it was easier)
So, planets have gravity, right? So pretend you have a sheet. The sheet is the fabric of the universe, ok? A ball (pretending to be a planet) is in the middle of the sheet. If you lift the sheet up, the ball makes a dent in the sheet.
The concept of wormholes is that the planet make so big a dent that two sides of the fabric of the universe touch. So instead of going this far (across the side of the sheet) _________________________ you go this far ( from one side to the other) _. It's easier to explain if there's a visual.
"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." -Someone whose name I forgot.
Well, off to see the wizard (not really).
see ya


Homework sucks #2

I hate homework. Anyone agree? I mean, what are we going to learn from homework anyway? Are we really going to have to use this in the future? Is trigonometry really that important? Is algebra? Is pre-algebra? Is addition, subtraction, multiplication, english, latin roots, forced reading(ugh), etc. ... do they all really matter?
(grumbling) Well, my parents and teachers say they do...
But really, does it matter?

Feelings kinda suck. Enough said.
