Why do we have standardized tests?
Well, I know because we have to compare ourselves to other schools and whatnot, but why make such a big deal out of them?
I mean, if you're a bad school, then it's a big deal, but if you're an okay school?
It's not like your popularity will go up or anything. Kids can't control what school they go to until a couple months into the year.
So why?
My parents didn't have standardized tests when they were our age. They had the SAT, but other than that, nothing. And they turned out (somewhat) fine.
Something to think about.

Aren't parents and teachers and everyone else in the world telling you to never procrastinate? "Always get your work done first, then you can play...blah blah blah." And yet, at school, we're cramming all this reading junk into our heads a couple weeks before the test. Every Wednesday, every single period except math and lunch and possibly PE, we do some sort of reading exercise. Fun! :D
NOT.

I had another idea on what to write.

In my notebook.

I lost my notebook. For those who know me, it's that little purple one.

I think it's in the chorus room. and someone might have looked in it. baaad. Or SS. That would be worse.

great huh?

>.<

So I don't remember.

So I'm done.

xD

Thanks for reading.

Hi.


Sentence: Take some time during the day to just think.


Anyone who's not from WI doesn't have to read this section.

New people won't notice this, but WI has been going feeeewwwp*splat*. I edited this part out because I was mad and my comments went against my better judgement. sorry.

Also, the new DCTers...not that they're bad, it's just they were, uhm, brought up wrong I guess would be one way to put it. They all care about rep boxes and posts.

An old member, Milly, has five spinnies (50,000 posts or more) and she never comes on anymore. Why? Because the first thing the newbies say to her is not "What's up?" or "Hey!" It's "WHOA!!! HOW DID YOU GET SO MANY SPINNIES???"

When the DCT was fast one day, I asked everyone what rep was really for, outside of random rep and the DCT.

Nobody knew.

Wonderful, eh?

So I'm trying to get everyone to believe that, hey, the DCT is not about getting a bunch of posts, or getting that elusive second rep box. WebkinzMania, no offense to him, is one of the main people I'm trying to change. Turtlegurl was one of my few friends back in the old days (The old days were the days when nobody cared about posts, and rep boxes hadn't existed for a while...nobody really fought, and the DCT was fun. If anyone wants me to tell the story of how it crashed and burned, lemme know.) but now she's one of the people who's defending the bad side of the DCT. She's my debate equal, and I usually win debates about that sort of thing because I feel so strongly about it. (She was banned before the old days ended, she made a new account recently, and I'm surprised she hasn't been caught yet.) So yeah. My WI perdicament. Any suggestions welcome. :P


We're having Subway for dinner. Oven-roasted chicken breast with lettuce, cheese, and mayonnaise on white. Toasted. :D


I just learned a heartbreaking fact from my mom. She doesn't like goldfish crackers. I was like, butbutbut they're happiness!!! In fish form!!!

strange mothers people have nowadays. xD


I started reading War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. It is hard! It's really good so far though. I love H.G. Wells.

Thanks for reading.

Leah. :D

My first post. :D

Well. IDK what to say first. xD

It's nice that I can finally get my feelings out somewhere. I mean, I'm a quiet-ish sort of person. Well, except around people that I know well enough to know what they would say in any given situation.

This is the second blog I've made. The first one was for LJ, but I later found out my friends couldn't see it. So I came here. :)

I take a look at what happened to me that day. I sum it up into a sentence. It can be something like a main idea, or a life lesson. It could be anything.It's not one of those little things where "I'm gonna see how far I've come since blah blah blah and see how I've become a better person" and all that. That stuff makes me shudder. I mean, you are you, and as long as you're not doing anything to hurt somebody else, I don't think you should change for anyone or anything. But the point is, I do it involuntarily. You may think that's weird, but if you think I'm some sort of freako, I'd suggest you go back to your own blog so you can read more about your own pigheaded self. Thanks. :)

Sentence for the day: Think before you speak. Or IM, for that matter.

Time has been going by so fast lately. I had just started getting used to writing '08 on my schoolwork, and now it changes on me again. I guess I've just been so busy lately. I go to school at about 7, and I get out (usually) at about 2:40. I go onto WI, WC, Yahoo, and AIM, and I spend about three hours on there. I eat dinner. I do homework.See? No time for relaxing. None. Nada. Zip.

That's another reason why I made this: so I can just think.

We've got a writing test tomorrow. The only problem is, I haven't gotten any writing practice, other than the standardized tests, since fourth grade. My LA teachers haven't really been that strict. Sure, we read a novel every once in a while, we answer questions on it. We do a worksheet. But most days, we do some bellwork, she gives the answer and we discuss, we discuss some topic that's not relevant to LA, and we leave when the bell rings. That's it. Not that I'm complaining, but I'd at least like some writing so we can at least get something useful into the day and not have a bad grade on our college resume (is that the right word?).

Then, on Friday, she gives us this list of Literary Terms. Her directions: Copy an example of each term from a book and put it on a paper, typed. Not so hard, right?Wrong. Oh so very wrong.The terms were action, allegory, allusion, analogy, anecdote, antagonist, autobiography, biography, caricature, character sketch, characterization, climax, comedy, conflict (Person vs. Person, Person vs. Society, Person vs. Self, Person vs. Nature, and Person vs. Fate), and context.Now. Imagine two to four long paragraphs for each one, excluding analogy, antagonist, autobiography, biography, and caricature.That's about five pages. Size ten font.My hands hurt.So I ended up spending two hours typing up various passages from Maximum Ride and Twilight books. Thankfully, it was a group project, and my friend Marissa was my partner. She was the one, basically, that found the stuff from Twilight, and I copied it from the book. We're lucky that I had set up an email account for her the day before, else we would have either had to spend two hours on the phone (my phone gives off a really annoying high-pitched ringing noise that gives me a headache, so I can't stay on for long) or texting (my phone is also so crappy there's no word suggestions, plus the buttons are extremely hard to press). Nobody really likes her. xp

Thanks for reading.

P.S. If anyone has a myspace that is reading this, please let me know. I just got one, and I'm dizzy. I can't find anything on the internet about the simple stuff like changing your default picture, background, or whatever.Helpppp?
