HOORAY!!!!

I finally finished the Count of Monte Cristo!!!  I actually thought that that was a great book to read.  I sorta got the plot, but overall great.  The ending was weird, but I won't spoil it for those of you still reading, and you should really hurry up and finish.  The only thing I'm having trouble with is the writing thing, I can't write, and I'm having some trouble getting into one that I might like.  I guess the reflections one is the best that comes to mind, oh well, I'll find one eventually.

I went to disneyworld last week, and had so much fun.  Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom the works.  It was very fun and though it was very humid, we didn't have too much of a problem.  It always comes down to this moment right now, I'm bored, have nothing else to write, and want to publish and end this thing forever.  But I always know that I cannot do such a thing, as I will get a bad grade.

Disneyworld, and a few other things

Over this UEA break from school, i'm going to go to Disney world in florida!! I hope I have a blast. Oh, and to go off topic here, you need to see Jay Leno on the vice presidential debate. Very funny. Back to Florida, I want to have another class besides economic class. You get no leg room, and you can't lean back at all! When I went to England last summer, I flew in business class. Dang, that felt good. The opposite of economic class. Oh, so much bliss.

I'm still not even close to finishing the Count of Monte Cristo, I have so much trouble, sitting down and trying to read that book. I finally got halfway through that book, but I think it was more enjoyable at the beginning. At least he got to try to break out of prison, while now he's helping people who have misfortunes with his money as the "esteemed" Count of Monte Cristo. I'm reading the abridged version, so it's didn't tell me how he became the Count, luckily I just figured it out by reading the back. Plus, I don't have to read a 1,000 pages of text. If I had to read that much, I think I would die! It would be the hardest thing I've ever done.

Right now, I'm also into the computer. But on the Disney World trip (yes!!!) I won't have any access to technology all day! It's going to last for days, DAYS without any technology except for my Dad's Iphone. Those are very cool, but I'm straying off the topic just a bit. Still, while I'm writing all these sentences that run through my head, It takes words off the list that is required. I almost out of things to say.

My geography class is very easy, people who read this, you know who I mean. I do all my homework in that class, though it's at the beginning of the dayso I don't have much homework to do. It would be so easy to get my homework done, and still work on my assignments in that class. The teacher is very cool about it, he or she doesn't mind that much that I and a few other students do homework in that class. That class involves maps, which I'm not very good at doing, mainly because I can't draw. Still, besides the maps, I'm totally like that class.

Just one last thing, I'm not a huge fan of the teacher I have biology with. He or She gives us so much homework!! He or she also is very strict. I was taking a quiz in his or her class and we were doing it on photosynthesis and respiration. All we had to do was write the chemical formulas for them and I switched up H2O and CO2 which were on the same side of the equation! I still got the question wrong!! I was not happy, when I had to take the test again, but It wasn't that hard. Oh well, what can I do?

The power of youtube

The past few days I've been checking youtube and watching videos.  Those things are sweet.  You can learn how to do almost anything, beat bullies, play guitar, or solve a rubiks cube, which for me is impossible.  Youtube has a ton of shows that I used to watch when I was younger, which was cool to see them again.  Youtube is such a powerful tool. Dang, anyone in the world can post a video and everyone in the world can see it!!!  That just puts a ton of pressure, so don't do anything embarrassing on the internet.  It's a good thing to go to when I'm bored and don't want to exercise or do homework.  It's the coolest thing ever.  I guess, that's all I have to say.  Huh, i'm out of ideas.  Let's go to the always reliable Count of Monte Cristo.

I'm still not halfway through that book.  It's so long!!  I have no idea how I'm supposed to finish by 1st term.  I still think we shouldn't get more time.  We have to finish by a deadline, which we all agreed, though it is hard and.. wow, i'm never going to finish.  Just like when I was reading the Hunchback of Notre Dame, I didn't finish for like, 2 years!  This book is twice as long as the hunchback!  That is going to be a tough book to read.  Plus, it's in that old english text.  Mini written words and and small pages and all those fancy words.  And, I can not figure out that money system there, they go from pounds to franks to crowns to whatever!  I hate how the book is so old, which is probably the definition of the classic books.  No offense to the classic lovers, but that book is just a very hard read.

Darn, I always do a word count when I think I have enough, but it always ends up being much shorter.  Like just before, I just checked the words, and it turned up to be 303!  I can't finish with 303, when Mr. T asked us to write about his blog, I checked the words, and he got 1,500!  There's no way I could possibly be asked to write that much!  I would stop at 500, which I usually do now, but 1,000 is a huge stretch for me.  I'm just not a big fan of writing.  Like the character sketch we just did I got an 83 out of 100.  I usually never do that bad, but these writing assignments are the toughest things in the world for me.  I love to read, that's probably the only thing that keeps me in honors english.  I wish that any english class would be like that.

Well, I strayed kinda far from my title, THE POWER OF YOUTUBE!!!  So I'll end with just this.  If you know of any cool videos on youtube that you think I might like, comment and tell me what they are.  Ooo, and if you haven't seen him, check out Nick Pitera's singing, he would be great for American Idol.

What to write what to write...

Dang, how do I write all these words. I read all of your guys blogs, and I have no idea where you come up with your topics, it's genius. I have no clue about what to write. I guess I recently played tackle football. I completely stunk. And 500 words is a ton. Who here saw the vice presidential debate? Anyone, Anyone? Because I didn't. I wanted to watch the office, but they put it off a week for the debate. I hate how they did that. Oh, and when do we see our grade? I'm wondering what my grade is so far. I hope i'm not failing like enourmously. And i probably have said this a thousand times. But is 500 words really necessary cause it takes me forever to write. Usually you guys write way less than I do. And i'm just wondering if i'm writing more than neccessary or just right? Oh well. I just got one of those hp computers and all the paint pictures I did when I was young are popping out of nowhere and it looks really funny looking at stick figures. Of course in orange, cause that's my favorite color. It looks so pro, it's sweet. Just try to beat my sweet drawings, it's so impossible.
