where do we go from here (standardized testing)???

it was a good week to test – i had time to knock out books i’d rather not be solely devoted to…

“mark of the corripian” – we heard this lady a week ago at write in the middle – as i have told binder girl, WAY better than anna kathyrn davis – not that it’s a competition:) but we should’ve had this book before – and we’ll have it in my room soon – promise – anyway, future – dystopia – star-crossed lovers – but it moves along – honestly? it should be middle school BOB next year – should’ve been on the list already

“sub 4:00” – on to the good stuff:) a book about running – it took 30-plus years between the first high school kid to go under the 4:00 minute mile – and this kid – alan webb – the book was published in 2003 – which made it sad for me b/c i know what’s happened to webb – and a lot of the people in the book – they’re no longer what they were then – and that was sad

“believe it!” – story of the 2005 chicago white sox world series – as big a white sox fan as i was growing up, it was strange that i didn’t follow that season – the only one they’ve been good in for 100 years – so i bought the series on dvd – and this book helped me piece together stats – which was fun for me

happy blog-ing

  1. well, billy needed to be first in something

    victoria is used to being second in her family – her older sister is just too amazing (sort of like you and bri)

    so then, yep, third – very disappointing – i think we learned last week with argumentation that you’re on a slippery slope to ruin

    even worse news, i just found out i didn’t make the cheer squad – my fall plans are ruined

  2. How do you train in the off season? I need a personal buzzer to keep with me at all times

  3. May
    Cal ran and ran, then he got a little discouraged when he saw a green fence in front of him. With metal poles and spikes in the top. But then he just thought of Gabbi and then ran even harder. So he got up real close to the fence and did a quick look over his shoulder and then looked up to see how tall this fence really was and when he did he noticed that the guards were getting really close to him and the fence was pretty high. But that didn’t stop him from climbing as fast and as high as he ever had before. Then he jumped down and landed on his feet and just kept on running. “He really didn’t even know where he was going” ~ forest Gump:)”

    (sadly no one made me mad today)

  6. So I made a tanka (it’s like a haiku but its 5-7-5-7-7):

    Leaves fall to their death,
    much like people in distress.
    Nobody can tease,
    or abuse when one is dead.
    Your life is a leaf, falling.

    I also went back to one of my old poems and decided to revise it:

    I seldom feel your jubilant spirit at day break,
    sunrise to sundown, you tend to change with the time.
    I deal, suppress my criticism for your sake,
    but revealing my better judgment: You fake.

    Thou fakes his intelligence, makes me smolder,
    you boast your achievements and flaunt your actions.
    What a dunce you are, smart from toe to shoulder,
    with every hour your heart freezing colder and colder.

    Your personality is faulty yet you transform completely,
    beauty is brains, to which you have none.
    Forgiveness will be granted, however not from me,
    our friendship is lost despite its desperate pleas.

    You pretended to care, but not anymore,
    being two-faced has consequences, in case you didn’t know.
    Your ego thrives on affection, dishing out false lore,
    however you just realized you’re not one to adore.

    I must be lucky to figure all this out,
    my pain is withdrawn due to your obvious act.
    Your friendship is dreadful beyond any doubt,
    I finally realized what you’re about.

    Faking and lying is gives you no shame,
    you get away with everything, creating my displeasure.
    Everyone’s judgment is cloudy, you I shall blame,
    but I’m the only one that knows your little game.

    Commentary:This is YET another fight between Obi-Wan and Han BUT this one is important. In this one Han is just blabbering at Obi-Wan for no reason but then Obi-Wan spews us some philosophy out (and it happens really quickly so i’ll rate a 7 out of 10 on the comeback-o-meter). When you think about it what Obi-Wan is saying is relative in the real world too. Like when we allow ourselves to be ruled over by certain fools

  8. Do you know the square root of negative 8? I thought not. Do you know what “Kazhd Kupad Kimanim” means? Or what avadavadavra means in Latin, or what “why did the chicken cross the road” REALLY means morally? Well waspman? Huh,huh? DON’T INSULT MYBOOKS IN IGNORANCE! TRUST MY RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. Line- What did you do to help?

    Commentary- This is a very significant line of the story as it portrays what you should be asked when you die. Like when James Harker died in his sleep thats probably what he should be asked. and it is what johnny pretty much thinks about the whole time

  10. Wouldn’t thet be 4i? If you meant the negative squareroot of 8, it would be -2root2

    Commentary:Man,this guy is rude to wookies. As you probably guessed by now yes this does have to do with chewbacca. Han and Luke are dressed up like stormtroopers and are ‘taking chewie to a prison cell’ but by that i mean they’re trying to break princess Leia out of jail. In the process they meet an insensitive guard whom udders the above line. Wookies have feelings too.

  17. FYI Waspman, you mess with her you mess with the BOB team, and remember I have things over you (the heigth pun was intendeD)

  18. Bob was having a terrible day. It all started when someone killed his pet bunny. His only friend in the whole world because he was ugly and alone. He wanted revenge. Revenge is the only thing to stop the grief for his predacious. I mean bunny. Bob left to find the ring. I mean killer. Who might have a ring. He needed his preacous and was starting to grow shorter and loose his hair. He developed a hair regrowifier. He grew hair on every part of his boody I mean body. He hunted all over the wastes of the land called middle earth. A comb name because it was way for south of the east our and was very cold. ” did you say that this was based on the lord of the rings. It’s not its just a coincidencce.

  20. May
    Cal kept on running like he had never ran before. But he felt bad like he had been poisoned but he figured that they wouldn’t poison him at the hospice because Slingo need him to find the papers. So he kept running but he occasionally had to stop because he started to feel light headed. So he just taking random turns, until he saw a black Van pull up right in front of him. So he then knew that he was obviously not making “random” enough turns to throw them off track. So he tried to run behind the black van but a big man jumped out of the back and tackled him. Then got on top of him and said, “If you try and make another slick move like that again, then I will break your arm!
    🙂 🙂 🙂

  21. May
    Cal stopped trying to break the big guys grip and just sat there so they could shove him back into the cell. But they put him in a straight jacket for far to long. He was going crazy! Because when he was in the straight jacket he couldn’t focus he just wanted out of the stupid thing, he could not think straight! So he could figure a way out of the place.
    So finally they let him out of the straight jacket and right when the did, the same day right when he lunch came he asked the ‘new’ lady to talk to someone and get him an appointment with Dr. Snugeglasser, And she said, that he would have to wait because he had other patients as well.

  31. I’m reading Heart of the sea because I have already finished The Johnstown Flood and so far Its talking about Nickerson and the island of Nantucket and how the island is a famous importer of whale products which mainly include whale oil because the discovery of crude oil has not happened yet. They have right whales and the discovery of sperm whale which has a deposit in its square head that contains alot of oil that is very useful but they people have to go farther out into the sea just to find the whales let alone kill them and drag them back to shore. Mainly, the islanders hunt right whales because they are just the right size and they can be seen to the right of the island blowing water out of their blowholes and playing in the wharf.

  36. Monday- “You can be the moon and still be jealous of the stars.”

    Gary Allan

    You can be this big magnificent thing that every needs ,wants to see, pretty, etc. and due to your insecurities are jealous of someone else it doesn’t even matter if there not as pretty as you they could be smarter than you and then you would be jealous you get jealous of people when you see they have something that you don’t or they are something your not. It can go both ways really you can be insecure and are jealous of people that posses the things you don’t physically and personality wise.

    Thursday-“Jealousy is the fear of comparison.”

    Max Frisch

    When people are jealous of someone its usually because they have something they don’t whether it be physically or personality wise. Usually when people become jealous it because they have just compared themselves to you and because of their insecurities they become jealous. People do not like to be compared to anyone “better” than them it makes them feel insecure but what people love to do is compare themselves to un-significant people to lift themselves up because there will always be that person who is better than they are and they will be jealous and need to reassure themselves.

    Tuesday- “More men die of jealousy than of cancer.”

    Joseph P. Kennedy

    Jealousy is such a common factor not only in men but people in general , its on of our many flaws and this in my opinion is one of the worst because it can cause hatred and other negative feelings. When people become jealous they become obsessed and it consumes them just like cancer would consume your body and it spreads and doesn’t stop. When jealousy comes into play it never ends good, your whole domineer can change, we become blind to things going around us and peoples feelings that nothing else matters besides who or what are attention is on their whole world revolves around them. Its almost as they stalk them even though judging them on everything they do the secretly want to be them.

    Wednesday- ” Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.”

    Oliver Stone

    When someone is jealous that is not the only feeling that comes as well. Rage and anger is aspired , people like to think other people like them selves are not capable of horrific acts out of anger or jealousy. What one really does not understand is if your jealous of someone there are two options you either want to be them or want to destroy their image. When one sets their mind to something the human body is wired for most of the time to accomplish that goal and if the goal is to destroy then do not full yourself with people an their humanity , people can be inspired to do cruel things to other people don’t underestimate anyone if they have jealousy in their heart.

    ouch! that tower falling on me hurt. but,i flew over to dave,went straight into the air and i slammed him into the ground. he super punched me through several buildings and i grabbed him and whacked his arm off with my lightsaber.. and this kept going on for a long time so eventually people stopped watching us and they built the city back. then they improvements to the city. then everyone went to mars. all this time dave and i are hacking at each other but, 20 years after the fight started we both ran out of breath and had to stop fighting. i suggested peace and dave agreed then we both died.
    Thus ends the blog war

  39. The real meaning of why did the chicken cross the road is this: the chicken represents a person who is looked down on in life. The crossing the rad part is trying to commit suicide, and the getting to the other side part meant going to heaven or the alternative.
