HIgh School!!!

This year I have started High School. It's almost like homeschool, but, you know, without the 'home' part. In the past four days I've been in High School, I have:

- Walked from floor to floor looking for my classes, which I thankfully found on time
- Avoided from buying 'Pool Passes' for our non-existent pool (rumors are, though, that it's on the roof!)
- Have had my binder, which contains my homework, writing utensils, and two note books, stolen from my gym locker, part my fault since I lost my padlock for it. I found it right after my binder got stolen. This happened today, wish me luck on my Quest for the Holy Binder!
- Have done very well all my classes in these past for days (which might change since my binder went on vacation to some other student)
- Have not that many old friend from middle school in my classes, but have made a couple new friends.
- Walked from my HS to piano lessons, about a mile away, on Wednesday. A. Very. Hot. Wednesday.
- Doing very well in French 1, thanks to a certain country visit and already half-taken course.
- Made friends with all the teachers.


I think I've done pretty well. I will find my binder thief, or at least my binder, probably in a garbage can somewhere, because who would steal a binder? Maybe if it contained 1,000 songs! That would be a cool binder.

White-Board Skate-Board

I have been posting lost of videos this past month, but I guess in a way this one is my favorite... since I made it!!!! I made this with a marker and a white board. My family has been doing lots of animating this past week or so, so while we're in the mood, might as well make one. I thank my brother Noah for the idea, he created the set by drawing it bit by bit and taking pictures so it would looked like it was drawing itself, but we forgot to save, and iStopMotion crashed, so it was deleted. He gave up, and I decided to make something of it. Enjoy!

Singin' in the Rain

There was a theater in Plesantville playing "Singin' in the Rain", so we got to go see it on the big screen. It was fun, one of my favorite movies. Upon seeing the movie, I remembered a clip I found on the internet a couple years ago:



While looking for this clip on YouTube, I also found this:




If you've never seen the movie, run down to your nearest Blockbuster and pick this up.

Where the poo is Matt?!?!?!?!?

This is a pretty funny/awesome video. I can't believe they got some many people in on it, and Stride to sponsor it! I have nothing to say, other than, 1. Just watch the video, it explains its self, and 2. Please keep checking my blog, 'cause it's getting lonely here.   

Ode to MobileMe

This week Apple moved all .Mac customers over to MobielMe, their new cloud computing email service. This coincided with the launch of the new iPhone 3G. Not many users have been able to receive email for days! Apple claims only 1% of users are having trouble, but according to chats, forums, and websites of loyal Apple/iPhone/.Mac users, that percentage is way off.

In frustration, a .Mac user has made a YouTube video in protest. Since I do not have permission to give his name, I will give him the pseudonym, Soe Jummerhays. I also do not have permission to tell you to visit his blog, the top one under Links.

Make sure to watch it twice and look at the tabs!

Home Awaits Me...

Sorry I haven't posted for ever. I was planning to put a bunch of pictures, but it takes so long because I have plenty of pictures, I can only do five at a time, and it takes about seven minutes for each batch. So I will upload as much as I can when I get home and have a faster computer!!!


I leave July 1st. This has been a very high point in my life. First time out of the continent, over seas, and by myself!! Not many kids get to do that. My brothers and dad did just get back from Rwanda doing an animation class, but I stayed for three months, and I am ALONE!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAH! My mom did come and check up on me. That sneaky little person, using me as an excuse to escape to Morocco! It was still fun. My French is coming along, it's going to be hard and easier to learn it when I get back. Number one, I will not be forced to speak it in US, since everyone there speaks English, but Number two, I won't be homeschooled anymore, so I will have a set scheduale of what I have to learn. I just hope I'm cought up enough to even be in French class, verbs are a problem for me, will need to nail thse during the Summer.



It is very late here, I'm sorry to say, so I must stop, go to sleep, and dream of... of... the plane ride home...a nice long eight hours in the plane... C'est l'avie!
