Well anyways, here's a quick outline of what's happened:
- Mathcounts: went to state, our team did okay, I guess.
- Science Fair: 2nd place in my category at districts/regionals.
- Altrusa Art Fair: 2nd place in my category for my self portrait.
- Orchestra: we got a superior (1) rating at festival; judges ratings were 17,18, and 19, turning out for an average of 18. Superior rating is 14 (or 13) to 19.
- Cello lessons: quit for now.
- Flute and Piano: May recital coming up, gotta work my butt off!
- Chautauqua: my presentation is Monday, April 25th in Weller's room. I just edited my monologue again, and in the course of two days, I pulled the length from 7 1/2 pages to 6 pages. (Yes!)
- Student Council: was elected onto the 8th grade council.
That's a really rough outline, as there was much more between February and now, but I'm a little short on time. Plus, I'm worried about my literacy grade. I have to get basically a 100% on EVERYTHING for the rest of the quarter if I want an A. Which I do.
Speaking of things I want to do, I want to see if I can get a box thing that shows my latest statuses on Facebook and Twitter. Mostly Twitter.
As a little notice to myself: Great Expectations. I wanted to read it for the book list thing in Literacy (I was torn between that, Jane Eyre, and The Scarlett Letter), but I decided I should do a book I know pretty well, a genre I enjoyed, and that had books I have or already read under it for the Young Adult novel. So I'm doing Jane Eyre for the classic (I read a children's edition long ago) and for the Y.A. novels listed underneath it, I'm reading A Great and Terrible Beauty (I own and have read most of it before, but never really finished it entirely, skimming over slow parts) and The Truth About Forever (I've read it and loved it).
So that's it for today, I'll try and see if I'll remember to post sometime next week after Chautauqua and all that stuff.
Ciao,
Isabel
