This is the story of my life:
whenever I get work,
I get it from all the activities and classes I'm in.
Projects galore! Whoo.
This work comes when I have club meetings, trips, and other priorities.
When I have nothing to do at all on my calendar,
then I have no work at all.
I sit around bored, wishing I had work.
It must be one of Murphy's Laws.
@___@
In other news, I got a job offer at Mrs. Walker's.
They're gonna call me sometime this week with details. =3
On Saturday, my 4H Critter Craze club went to a nursing home.
We brought one animal each,
and showed them to the senior citizens,
who were delighted to see the animals.
We had rabbits, guinea pigs, and a hamster there.
I broght Ron, since Alex is sick.
Yes, sick. Well, not really sick.
You see, his dew claw got ripped off.
That's this extra useless chunk of nail on the side of a pig's foot.
It's not even shaped like a claw.
But, it got ripped off, and then got infected.
So I have to keep him in this quarantined, sterile cage,
and apply ointment and clean his foot every day.
He is getting better, though.
He should be okay by next Saturday,
for the county Show, hopefully.
And if not, hopefully they won't disqualify him for being 'sick',
since technically he's not sick.
Of course, I'm going to have a bazillion homework things,
since the show's an all day thing.
NO!
I have to stop thinking this way.
I bet it's somehow making the workload worse.
Sine the world works like that,
for some reason.

House, weekends, losing weight, more religion, etc.
House.
I just love this show!
For those who don't know,
it's about a doctor clinic place,
and the head doctor dude is Dr. house.
It deals with rare diseases and stuff, mostly,
and also adds a bunch of psychology into it.
It's awesome! ^___^
Anyway, last weekend I was at SJTC.
That is, "South Jersey Teen Conference."
It's a 4-H thing.
The theme was technology this year,
so the two workshops I chose to attend were
"Amateur Radio" and "Making your own Movies".
They were both very awesome and informative!
Also at SJTC,
we went to an indoor water resort.
That was awesome at first,
but we stayed for 4 hours,
whichs eemed way too long.
One or two hours would have been plenty.
I mostly hung out in the Spa,
and went a bit on the lazy river,
and then I played at the arcade.
I won a cool dice,
since iI love dice,
but I must have lost it,
since when I came home it wasn't in my bag.
;_____;
I though I had searched the hotel room perfectly before leaving!
Anyway, after that we had a dance.
I thought I didn't like dances,
but I surprised myself:
I had the best time I've had in a while!
The DJ had lots of games and stuff, too.
It was a blast!
On another note,
I've lost a lot of weight recently.
How?
A combination of reducing my food intake,
and also Wiifit.
It's a great 'game'.
I do yoga at least three times a week,
40 minutes or so.
And it keeps track of what I lose,
so I can know if I'm keeping up with my diet well or not.
It's great. ^_^
Plus, I feel a bit more flexible, too.
I also saw a movie.
It was called 'Knowing'.
It started out really great-
lots of action and interesting stuff-
until it began to have lots of biblical references,
and then the ending was totally nihilistic,
and the moral basically turned out to be love god,
or he'll destroy the world,
and pull a Noah's Ark situation thing.
That totally ruined it. >_<
Of course, you don't want me rambling about
how I hate organized religion and stuff again, do you?
But there is something about me and religion you don't know-
I've found a looser one that I mostly agree with!
It's not strict at all,
and allows for differences in opinion on some things.
For example, it has a goddess and a god,
but some people believe they're only protectors of nature,
some believe they're actual gods,
and others still believes there can be a god in charge of them.
Also, they are very nature- based.
they believe the world is made of five elements,
all acting in harmony:
Earth, Fire, wind, Water, Aether (Spirit.)
Of course, it's not like Aristotle's view of elements,
where everything's physically made of these;
they're just guiding powers int he world,
and work together in harmony in nature.
They're major holiday are on the equinox, solstice, and mid seasons.
They believe in reincarnation,
and an in-between place where spirits wait to be reincarnated.
They believe this place can be contacted,
if the spirit's haven't moved on yet.
But the spirits also can be good or bad.
Anyway, it's also a very misunderstood religion.
Christianity calls it 'Satanic',
but it has nothing to do with Satan at all!
It's just about inner peace and living in sync with nature.
If you haven't guess it by now, I'll tell you:
It's called Wicca.
Please don't hate it until you get the full info.
There's a good wiki article on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicca
Please read it before making any rash conclusions.
Thank you! ^___^

HSPAs and "The Pit"
The HSPA State Test was this past week.
It was okay, I suppose.
They're real easy, but boring.
Since we had the first 2 days of the week off,
due to excessive snow,
the testing was shifted over to Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday,
as opposed to Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
So, the math section, which should have been Tuesday, was Friday.
They were impossibly easy, the questions.
The only issue was the timing.
There was a lot of time left after the persuasive essays-
we had an hour, and we're all used to half hour, like the SATs.
However, there was only 20 minutes for a picture prompt.
That was too short, by far.
No one can write a good story in twenty minutes!
So my beginning was great,
then I began to run short on time,
and had to quickly sum it up and end it.
I couldn't explain in detail any of the plot-
and I wrote up to the last line provided!
Other than that, though, the tests were fine.
The school day after was short, too, which was nice.
We only had six periods a day as opposed to eight, too.
It was nice to only have a few classes.
Much less overwhelming.
School should do that all the time-
four or five periods a day, but not all classes every day.
I believe the term is block-scheduling.
Today, my friend and I explored "The Pit."
What is the Pit, you ask?
An old factory and the grounds around it-
a huge sand pit with small scrubby trees and sand hills.
This was the first time I had been there.
It really looks just like a segment of Australian or African outback,
right smack in the middle of New Jersey.
It's a few miles across, diagonally.
There's also woods around it, too.
So we climbed the sand hills, scurried through the woods,
and enjoyed the wonderful day.
Yes, today and yesterday truly felt like Spring, finally!
Oh, that reminds me. Yesterday.
My 4-H group and I went to a state park.
We walked on the trails and took pictures-
we're a photography club, after all.
But, we didn't know that the path wasn't a loop.
We assumed it was-
all but that path were loops, after all.
Well, yay for the rangers not keeping up with trail markings.
After one and a half hours, we came to a dead end.
We had to turn around and walk straight back.
It was nice, though,
except the younger members complained a lot,
since we were walking so much.
So, overall, a very enjoyable week.
(But mostly, the weekend was the enjoyable part.)
