I'm back :)

Hello everyone, sorry it's been so long.

When I woke up this morning, it was normal. When I looked out the window, it wasn't! Guess what was different? SNOW!!!! Yeah, the white stuff that coats everything when it rains at a temperature less than 32 degrees Farenheit. So I got to test out my snow boots. (One guy asked me if they were snowboarding boots. ???) They work ok, but I prefer tennis shoes. Anyway, back to the snow. It looked really cool in the morning when everything had a deep blue tinge to it. Not so good now that it's afternoon and I can see the slush, branches etc. Oh, well, maybe it'll snow again tonight.

During Social Studies class, we have been learning about the Declaration of Independence and the constitution. Much more important now that I'm in MA. We have had a class debate, staging the debate over the slave trade grievance in the D. of I. We also got into little groups to discuss how the law-making body of government should be created to give equal rights to large states and small states. It's a very large topic.

I've had a lot of tests recently. Maybe like mid-year exams? There was a fairly large science test, a somewhat large math test, and a large Spanish test recently. Not to mention the English test tomorrow. It's quite stressful. I think I made it through okay, though.

I have recently come into the invention of...the Rubik's Cube. It's a very interactive toy, and it is a great way to spend the time. I can solve one in 1:48 minutes. I can also make patterns with it. I really enjoy playing with it.

Happy Holidays (though I shall blog again before they're over!) :)
