We have ISATs until 8th grade and Juniors have to take Prairie State Exams next week which means sophomores have only two days of actual school. yayay! anyways, savvy, i thought your "stupid history" class was interesting, but did you mean like you think it's stupid, bcuz that's what i thought when i made the comment about failing tests in my history class...
i have to agree with Sarah and Kate.

history could quite possibly be the most pointless class ever made(no offense if anyone thinks different) I mean really, why would we need to know what happened in the 1920s or any other year? I could see history being useful if it were things that have happened within the last 5 or maybe 10 years, but not other than that. Oh.. and the whole "we have to learn from our mistakes" deal.. bullcrap. All the mistakes we really need to learn about we know about(ex. WWI and WWII).

anyways... now that I've done that rant... anything else new?

wow. ok, i agree.
anyways, i have a really wierd story to tell. I was watching TV last night and i saw what looked like a feather move from one side of the room to the other. i turned on the light and it was a house centipede!!!!!!!! it was so gross. i don't know if you have ever seen one before, but this was my first time. I was freaking out. i couldnt get myself to kill it. my dad had to. i usually don't mind bugs, but it was huge! like longer than an inch! i googled centipedes this morning and it turns out that they can climb on walls and ceilings! it bites and has (mild) venom too. on the other hand it kills other bugs, like cockroaches(maybe i should bring the next one i see to school.)

in conclusion, house centipedes are very icky.

eeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww that does sound a little gross, the other day we saw a huge spider in the hall at school and one of my friends almost had a panic attack since she has like serious arachnaphobia, but i've had no other bug encounters lately

my comment about history basically goes along with kate!! and my brother is doing a report on desert spiders cause of...well just....cause and they are huge and ugly and he found one at a pet store and is 'renting' it for a project....im looking at it right now!! that thing is huge and ugly and creepy. its a camel spider!! like i have no problem its just so big!!

does any of you have myspaces???? i know sarah does

my parents would freak if I had a myspace!

can you really 'rent' pets like that? I don't think you can do that here?

its more along the lines that i know the people who work at the pet store very well!! god i just love animals!! they have a flying squirel there and i love it....its name is jethro....i named it and i play with him when ever i go there!! ahah! ya my parents dont know i have one

do you work at the pet store or volunteer there? That would be fun! You have very exotic pets in that pet store!

sooooooooo jealous, but sorry about the big bug problem, although I seem to be having one myself. At least yours is in a container...
As far as pets go, I only have two goldfish. They have been living in the kitchen for ten years now!

I have one pet. It's really more of my sister's though. We have 1 hedgehog. We used to have 2 but the other one died.

i dont work there or volunteer...i just go there all the time cause i love being around animals...i have two dogs...dauchshunds, moose and maggie!! my little babies!~!

Does anyone have a job? Where do you work?

I would like to get a job b/c I need the money. Unfortunately I don't have the time or a car which makes it kind of hard.

I don't have a job yet either. I babysit now every couple weeks, but even that's hard with school and everything. This summer I'll probably be a life guard or do something else...I wish I had a car...

Hi, wanted to introduce myself. I'm going to Chicago 2nd session. Name Timmy Jake, have 2 dogs and a cat, doing work for my PaPa to earn money for this trip. Mending fences, baling hay, tending to cows, etc... Hope to meet you all this summer. I'm from Louisiana. This will be my first big trip on my own. Really looking forward to it. Do any of you know if we'll be seeing some of Chicago other than the hospitals and stuff while we're there?

I'm not sure if we'll be doing a lot of sightseeing. You could ask the Alumni on one of the other topics.

What grade are you in Timmy?

finally a guy (Hi Timmy) ...no offense to you girls or anything but i was starting to get seriously concerned...i really hope we get to do sightseeing...otherwise it will be really boring when the hospital stuff gets done for the day...we go to six flags so that'll be exciting at least

Do we really get to go to six flags? I didn't know that! That sounds like a lot of fun!

iono if we do....it would be great to.....and if we do go sightseeing that would be great...fun to just have fun. ive seen everything in chicago anyways. HI TIMMY. im sure there are alot more ppl that just arent on this blog. the sixflags there is alot better than the sixflags we have here in texas!! its really boring!! and i know ive said this before but i really cant wait to meet you all!!! yay!
