Memory of Grandmother


To my grandmother
who passed away on April 22, 2012
at 1:13 pm

Roses turn black in the fading of light, 
the smiles that we wore are 
turned around at night. 

Our laughs live on, deep inside
And I think of all the good ol times.

Our long hikes up to the mountain top,
I'll never forget our favorite spot.
Or our little cafe we called 
"Morgans Johnny JumpUp Cake Cafe By the River'

We named trees and rocks, 
so we could see our progress as we went farther and
farther on our trail

The clay pots we make from scratch. 
How we had wet clay all up our arms,
and our legs were sore 
from moving the pedal round and round

The trips we made on our 4-wheelers, 
to take the dogs to a run to the ponds

Our expeditions up in the woods, to see what 
herbs we could find
and what kind of tea we could make
with them

The ring that you gave to me,
is something that I shall forever cherish

The stars that we studied 
through our own pair of binoculars 
We stayed up so late, 
forgetting about the clock
We laughed so hard,
we never wanted to stop

The smiles we shared, will never be forgotten.
And as the roses turn black on the outside, 
the memory lives on forever, deep inside 

Never to be forgotten

Biology test 3

For my biology test
I was supposed to make up two lab sheets

One for myself to do at home,
and the other one for my mentor to do.

Personally, I was really excited about the experiments!

My experiment was testing differences in baking agents 
So I made rolls

I used Yeast, Baking powder and Baking soda

The yeast ones looked the most like rolls
they were light and smooth

But the rolls with the baking powder 
were the best!
If you ever want a great roll, substitute the yeast
for baking powder

As for the baking soda, just stay clear of that....


BUT
for my mentors experiment, it was so awesome, that I have 
to just copy it,
so here it is;

Energy in Flammable Agents 

There are many components that have a different level of energy in them.
In today’s experiment, we are going to be testing the different levels of energy in several components.


Basic Materials
Diesel Gasoline 
Unleaded Gasoline
Whiskey
Beer
A tepurature sensor
LoggerPro
4 test tubes


Procedure 
   Caution--May want to wear goggles in case of explosion 
1. Connect the Temperature Sensor to the computer interface. Prepare LoggerPro.
  --------- Data collection --------
2. Initiate the energy in each component
  A. Using clean test tubes, drop 2 ml of the Diesel Gasoline into one of the test tubes.
  B. Hit ‘Collect’ and watch for 1 minute 
3. When the data collection has finished, click ‘Ok’ or ‘STOP’, and remove the Tempurature Sensor from the bottle. Rinse bottle and dry with a paper towel.
4. Remember to save your latest run.
5. Prepare the following agents.
6. Follow steps 2-4




Questions
1. Is your house still standing?
2. What was the outcome of the Diesel Gasoline?
3. What was the outcome of the Unleaded Gasoline?
4. Are your eyebrows still intact?
5.What was the outcome of the Whiskey?
6. What was the outcome of the Beer?
7. What can we learn from this experiment? 
8. How crazy do your kids think you are now?



Sadly, I didn't get to see the results. But I got a full
100%
so I can't complain too much




So here are my labs!
Enjoy!

To Abby; who reads

Time was ticking,
I only had a few more minutes

I glanced at the clock almost
every instant.
What if I missed something?

What if I couldn't finish it tomorrow?
Oh!
Parting is such sweet sorrow!

I'm dying! I must know what
happens next!
Otherwise,
I can't participate in the contest!

I glanced at the pages that still linger,
and only
wish I could turn them with 
with my fingers

I'm frantic,
unsure of what to do.
Man! Wont someone send me a clue!

Can't people see,
I'm doing something extreme,
so stop trying
to message me!!

I look up, but only for a 
second and see,
Are they really trying to talk to me?

What makes them think I'm not 
doing anything?
I promise it will be worth my while.

The last chapters fly by,
by golly, 
is that really the time?

I have to go to bed!
Because there is something wrong with my head.
The pages go fuzzy,
my head is starting to drop.
Yet I must go on.

I come towards the end.
When mother comes in and turns off the light!
Oh no! 
I'll never know!
Until I remember,
the flashlight under my bed,
just in case if this kind of thing happens

I get the light
and snuggle up tight.
Hoping my mother wont come in 
and give me a fright.

The last page comes.

The End

And I soak into bliss,
already preparing a way to attain
the next book

Hunger Games

Hunger Games

Plain as day
but dark as night,
cold as wind
hot as ice

The fiery feeling building up
as I hear
the songbirds sing goodnight

The dizzy feeling
from hardly sleeping,
and waking before dawn

The sound of my sword
slashing through
leaves, tearing at the sleeves
that hang down my arm

The hum of a bee
who clearly sees me
makes my eyes
go hazy,
and they are full of plead

Hunger fills me,
but there is
nothing to eat
Only that of which I can get
and feast like kings

An unfinished price to pay
that is
what life will bring me today

This game is for more than
one,
even though our causes are
quite the
same

One by one they all
go down,
until that final one
stands alone

Will that one be you, or
are you destined to
go down first,

that is just it, no one
knows

That is the point in making these blows

So I say good luck.
and hope you
survive,
Because I might send you a prize

Welcome, welcome
to
this odd pleasure

Of that which families grow
thinner with hunger

That is it,
you guessed it right,
I hope the
bugs don't get you tonight,

my finals words
before the timer starts

Are farewell,

And Welcome,
Welcome
to
the
Hunger
games




So, now I can say that I have read the books
and seen the movies.
Great book.
Great movie.
Go see it

This is what made my day

First things first,
 I cannot take any credit for finding these photos, 
and I can't put sites for you to go and see them,
I got these off of my school forums.




I love reality



It isn't??
I'd never have guessed ;)


If I had a 


British Accent


I'd never stop talking

This is one that my mother and I loved...
Almost at an instant.


But that is what makes us so unique from scientists.


Sadly, I can totally relate! 
Or maybe it isn't a sad thing, 
it is just that I am recognizing the truth,
so it is a good thing for all of my friends who hang out with me . . . 

Cute



What a great life we teenagers live, isn't it!?


I have always wondered what the light was for. . .


Omygosh, I can totally picture this happening!
And probably to me!


We love you athletic people


Hahahahahhaha
I never thought about it that way!



I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this


So true!
We thank you a ton punctuation!! 



Can't tell how many times that has crossed my mind. . . 



Oh the joys of being a writer.
Thanks for the idea


Hahahaha I love the slips under the picture


Yes, We must specify the 'HAD'


Is that why I get all these crazy looks?


Wow, I have done that more than once!!



So thank you my fellow students for helping me put together this post,
because I know somewhere, someone will get a kick out of this!
And now you made me ask,
Were you humored?? 


P.S. Happy April Fools day
