History

So I have an amazing History teacher. Were learning about global history right now and studying the diffrent types of government. For a lesson he told us to write down the fundemental powers of the government. He then proceded to tell us to make them into governmental power balls, he told us to make paper balls. Then he told us a confederacy is where all the states, us, have the power and if the central government wants somthing the state can simply throw their power at the central government. He closed his eyes and told us to go ahead.
Afterwards he continued the lesson with union governments, where all the power is invested in the central government. That is not nessecarily a dictatorship, it still works as a democracy. However he then proceded to throw the paper balls back at us.
Finally he told us about Federalists, which is when both the states and central gov't have power. We got into a paper ball fight.

How many teachers tell you to throw stuff at them, He's freaking awesome.

Only 4 now

So today my father went and gave back three of the kittens. (hey you foster 7 cats, 6 kittens and one mother, when the mother only has 3 children and is a bit mean to the other three. You have to dump the litter!) Unfortunately, from some perspective, it was the three fuzzballs. We still have the mother and her three kits. It means less litter but also less cute kittys. At least we can help the mother get used to humans more. She is very shy/nervous. I believe she was abused, at least I have heard she was. We will only keep her for 1-2 more weeks but we useually cure cats. One set of cats we fostered were already being adopted before we even left the store. I guess we have a 'magic touch'. :)

Don't worry picture will come of all seven. I just need to use the computer that has them. I'll get around to it.

New Kitteh

So, my siblings all desired to get some new pets after our old cat died :( So we did. One set of little orange kittens we found were named: Enie Meanie, Miney, mo, and tiger. Meanie and tiger were already adopted so we only got 3 identical bouncy kittens. So we were planning on only having them for a day, because we said we'd foster a mother and her three kittens for a while.... we couldn't give up enie miney and mo.
The mother is very thin, she was probably abused. Two of the kittens are orange, just like the other three, and the other is white. The kittens get together well, heck one of the Enie's might have a crush on one of the others. However the mother cat is very territorial, she has hissed at the others.
So now we have 7 kittens running around our feet, every so often we switch which set of cats are locked in a room, so they don't fight, and I've already had to dump the litters multiple times. Cuddlebug used to never go poo, for a whole month, probably did it outside.

Its insanity, but i love it. My nose has been running alot lately so I may have allergies but ah well, their to cute. Some of the kittens (enie's i think) try to bite my hand and it simply tickles, their so fuzzy and cuddly. My oldest brother has gotten three of them in his arms at once, and got them snuggled with him while he was watching a movie.
We watched "I am Legend" Its a scary zombie movie with a moral. I liked it. But the zombies are very.... intricate, a bit to lifelike. Ignoreing the hiddeous zombies it is a good movie. Hunting dear in a race car, talking to dummys, and huge explosions. Also a bit of scientific reasearch.

My Cat

As I may have already said I have a big fat black cat. His favorite hobbies are sitting on your stuff, chasing neighborhood animals, such as other cats or dogs, eating, and sleeping. Actually his hobbies are about all he does, heck he even stopped pooing after we decided to let him outside. Cuddlebug, his name, is very cuddly, as his name states. He would sit on your tummy and paw it, after a while he would curl up and take a nap. When we tried to foster some other cats with him .... he isn't that friendly, but he likes us!

I love that cat. Today, however, our neighbor found him in his driveway, and he wasn't moving. Although he is cuddly and friendly, to people, he ran from strangers, heck he ran from us a few times when he wanted to stay out longer. It is so sad but hes dead. He died happy though, laying on the ground was one of his favorite things. I hope to get some new cats soon but he is a unique cat, so fun and cute. I'll miss him.... :(

First Day

Today was the first day of school. I have had all the teachers before except for one of them, I even have my freshmen math teacher twice. I'm taking Calc BC, Latin 5/6, english, history, and programing. I'm also taking environmental science AP but want to take AP physics. I've requested 3 times to get changed, one was even before summer even started.
It wasn't to bad..... I've gotten homework in all but two classes, only because one of them forgot to give us homework. It looks like a rough year but I think..... possibly hope?.... I'll survive, somehow.
Seminary hasn't started yet and I'm not sure when it will. Tuesday? Wednesday?
Other than that I really desire to have a great year, and get some good grades, presuming I am able to do the work, which I also hope I can.

Work

This is something I wrote and saved as a draft. I've finally found it.

For the past two weeks I've been working on my summer job. I work at a museum nearby and I worked on a Lego Mindstorms camp. Hey I get to play with legos and get paid, whats not to like? The kids are in or about to start middle school so they are well behaved. They loved the class. We build animals and lego catapults. They raced cars and had a sumo wrestling match. At first it was only cars and learning how to program, then they started to get into complicated programs.

Eagle Day Four

Yes it is day four although I haven't posted anything about it yet.

For my Eagle project I am telling people what to do.... so they can upgrade a computer lab. The first day I had my friends come and we cleaned it up, the cords were such a mess that the school was threatened by the fire department. The people were awesome that day.
Day two I got a fellow scout troop to help out, they were fairly rowdy and stayed in the gym. Although my scout leader came and helped. We cannibalized a lot of systems that day but thats about it.
Day Three: A church friend came to help out. We finished upgrading all the systems and installing the new OS (linux rules). I think we did the most this day, but we did stay latter than usual.
Day Four: We labeled the network cables, updated the systems, and received 14 new computers from a local non-profit. we got them installed and had the whole lab updated.

we should be able to finish it in one more day. Almost there!

I finished warriors: new prophecy and it was good. I'm glad that squirrelflight and Brambleclaw were able to get together, the fourth book was so depressing I almost stopped. It did end a bit abruptly, it probably could have gone on easily. I'm just glad theres another series. I wonder, did starclan know of Brambleclaws nightly visits or not? Did they make Brambleclaw the deputy because it wasn't long before he was gone to far? Was it just luck? Also the prophecy Before there is peace, blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red.... seemed a bit exagerated. Sure it was nearly tragic but it wasn't quite as epic as the lake will run red. Although that part could refer to the bagers. Either way its a great book series. The authors are truely talented.
